Abstract
An apparatus and method wherein an electrical impulse source transmits a radar-type signal through an antenna into the ground and is reflected by a target. The reflected signal or echo is detected by the antenna and an analog-to-digital converter converts it to a digital form which may be readily operated on, stored and recalled. A memory stores the information until recalled for comparison with a subsequent signal to give an indication of the location of metallic and non-metallic buried targets.
