NEW JERSEY

Walton Cemetery

Results of the EM-38 conductivity survey shows many anomaly highs scattered across the site including the known grave of John Walton at 85E, 200N.   Results of the EM-61 survey reveal three anomalies at 86E, 196N; 106E, 198N; 186E, 140N.   A Combined plot of magnetic anomalies, possible headstones, and rocks.
Analysis for the resistivity soundings performed along lines 200N and 235Eshows that the resistivity is high and the soil is weakly stratified.   GPR profile showing reflection of possible grave.
