“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.
