Patent

CA 2142777

A method for determining the depth of a gamma emitting element beneath the surface of a volume of soil is disclosed. The disclosed method includes the steps of detecting gamma rays at a first height h1 above the surface; detecting gamma rays at a second height h2 above the surface; determining a ratio R representative of the ratio of the number of gamma rays detected at h2 to the number of gamma rays detected at h1, or vice versa; and inferring, on the basis of the ratio R, an estimate of the depth of the gamma emitting element beneath the surface.
