GPR survey of the cemetery went off without a hitch this morning.
We had cloud cover but not enough for our portable LIDAR to give good data. #1 Homer Simpson Son has a line on a portable unit that's more powerful than the one he owns so he's going to check into borrowing that sometime soon.
This is Matt from Geo Model doing his thing. Super nice guy, very knowledgeable. He said that he has been surveying cemeteries with GPR for a little over 30 years. We've now got a clear picture of where the things that we don't want disturbed are located. I'm going back tomorrow to dig in foot stones for all of the identified graves that didn't previously have them. We found half a dozen graves that weren't marked at all so I'll be setting marker stones for those as well.

WOW! What’s the oldest headstone that’s still readable? We have some very old cemeteries in our state, too. Lots of Civil War markers for our Brave Boys. And they WERE just BOYS for the most part. :(

Augie; Is this on your property or your father’s?
Looks a little different than the pictures you have posted of the house and garden.
