I want to find something underground, specifically a man made structure (think along the lines of a stone-lined tunnel or sewer). At a guess, 2m deep. I've e-mailed various historical/archaeological organisations but either they're busy or not interested. I've heard about using GPR but don't know much about it. Has anyone here actually used it to find something underground?

The ground is soil/grass, and the item of interest circa 2m deep at a guess. I'm not allowed to damage the ground sadly or I would be in there already haha.

Dowsing, there is a local society. Part of me wants to say it's bullst, but then part of me is curious to see it in action.

I like the idea of contacting a local college/uni.

If you're not allowed to disturb the ground to have a look, knowing its there(or not there) is pretty academic shirley?
Although I'd love to dig it up, knowing it is there would be good. It's a local legend, and I'm curious in a 'Mythbusters' kind of way. Plus, if I can provide some evidence its existence, someone with the necessary permissions may decide to further investigate.

Send the police an anonymous letter saying that you buried a body in the area, they will soon be round to dig it up for you to see what is underground.
hehe

That's Viz-level top tipping!
