Earth Resistivity Meter by John M. Stanley
This project is a simple earth resistivity meter. Although it is a four-probe design, it uses a simple DC voltage for generating the ground current instead of an AC current, so it is potentially affected by galvanic errors with the source probes.

This is a two-part article that gives the construction details for a device that can measure ground resistivity deltas. Such deltas might indicate buried anomalies such as large stones, compacted regions, or conductive targets. The articles also give a good background on resistivity measurement as well as some of the pitfalls to watch out for.
It was published in the January, 1997 issue of Everyday Practical Electronics, a popular British electronics magazine that is owned by publisher Wimborne Publishing, Ltd.
