Ground-penetrating radar was used on Oct. 24 to search for Black Loyalist descendants long thought to have been buried at Garrison Graveyard at Fort Anne National Historic Site in Annapolis Royal. | SaltWire

“It will take a few weeks for to compile all of their data and to get a more meaningful picture,” said Micha Cromwell, a committee co-ordinator with Mapannapolis, who lives in Annapolis Royal.“There’s a screen on the radar machine and they’ve been picking up what they call anomalies, so they think there’s a good chance that we’ve found something,” Cromwell said.

Black Loyalists landed in Nova Scotia in the 1780s as a result of the American Revolution. Local church records and oral history indicate that early Black Loyalists, like Fortune, were buried in the Garrison Graveyard. While the ground-penetrating radar can determine burials exist in the location, it can’t determine who the gravesites belong to.Ground-penetrating radar works by sending an electromagnetic pulse into the soil and then recording the echoes that result from buried objects.
