Does ground type in Comox affect GPR?

Yes. Coastal benches of till and gravel with localized high groundwater near the estuary and marina foreshore. GPR performs differently in clay, silt and granular ground, so the survey is adapted to Comox's conditions — and EM locating covers the metallic and tracer-wired lines regardless of soil.
