Each dataset was downloaded in the field and reviewed for consistency before the next grid was collected.  Back in the lab all four grids were downloaded and combined.

Initially we saw no specific features to enhance in the resistivity data.  We felt that the large areas of differing resistivity could be explained by soil types encountered.  We clipped & despiked to clean it up, ran the high pass filter to even out the geological background response, matched the edges of the grids and ran high pass filter again to further enhance lower contrast features.  Some ‘features’ did begin to come out that looked as though they might correlate with the gradiometry data.
