There are various geophysical techniques for forensic investigations in which the targets are buried and have different dimensions from weapons or metallic barrels to human burials and bunkers . Geophysical methods have the potential to aid the search and the recovery of these targets because they can non destructively and rapidly investigate large areas where a suspect, illegal burial or, in general, a forensic target was tried to hide in the subsoil. When in the subsurface there is a contrast of physical properties between a target and the material in which it is buried, it is possible to individuate and define precisely the concealing place of the searched target.
