Ah yes, quis custodiet ipsos custodes indeed?

It all seems a bit of a red herring to me. Whilst forensic investigation is an interesting field, and some new methodology could shed light on things, having been trained in 'proper' scientific investigative methods I find this rather wanting. So wanting that to my mind it doesn't warrant any weight even when considering any 'balance of probabilities'.

With regard to David's search in hand, aroa has some useful info "...magnetometer borrowed from an exploration co. walk a grid, plot the results and locate an anomaly.

As previously discussed this is, IMV, probably the best current method available for locating the sort of thing David is after - albeit at a somewhat larger distance than has been used previously. This latter makes it more experimental and uncertain than I'd like, but I am coming to the conclusion that technology has advanced enough to suggest it is reasonably possible at least.

FP.
