# Do you find anything good?
Or are you like time team and just turn up disappointment at the end of the dig.

or a late medieval / tudor farm/smallholding

# Hurrah
The balance is restored!

Does it ever show anything good? Every time it shows anything, it turns out to be a ditch and when it shows nothing they find something big.

# it does oftentimes work very well
I have seen results that have blown me away, so good we knew where everything was before we even stuck a spade in the ground! But it is a tempremental beast that can get upset by everything from ground being too dry/wet to sandy/to much clay..... But it IS expensive and you can't help feeling a touch put out when all your cash gets you a page of grey nothing
