Brian Fritz is an archaeologist and inventor that saw an issue with deep digging in Pennsylvania. To help out he developed a new machine that can basically do an auger test down to 7 meters, log the levels along the way, and there's an attached mechanized screen. It's a pretty cool system and we hear how he developed it and what he hopes to do in the future with this new system. Brian's Bio Brian L.
