A METHOD OF SEISMIC EXPLORATION COMPRISING THE STEPS OF: A. CREATING A SEISMIC DISTURBANCE AT A FIELD TEST SITE WHERE REFLECTION ZONES OF INTEREST MAY BE PRESENT, B. DETECTING THE SEISMIC WAVES RESULTING FROM SAID SEISMIC DISTURBANCE AND CONVERTING THE DETECTED WAVES INTO A SERIES OF ELECTRICAL SIGNALS FROM SPACED POINTS IN THE VICINITY OF SAID SEISMIC DISTURBANCE, C. AMPLIFYING SAID SERIES OF ELECTRICAL SIGNALS IN AN ANALOG PREAMPLIFIER AND D. DELIVERING SAID SERIES TO MULTIPLEXING MEANS AND E. THEREIN MIXING AND COMBINING SAID SERIES INTO A SINGLE CHANNEL OF ANALOG SIGNAL, F. DELIVERING SAID SINGLE CHANNEL OF ANALOG SIGNAL TO AN ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER AND G. CONVERTING SAID SINGLE CHANNEL OF ANALOG SIGNAL INTO A SINGLE CHANNEL OF DIGITAL SIGNAL, H. DELIVERING SAID SINGLE CHANNEL OF DIGITAL SIGNAL TO A RADIO TRANSMITTER, I. TRANSMITTING SAID DIGITAL SIGNAL TO A REMOTELY LOCATED RADIO RECEIVER, J. DELIVERING SAID RECEIVED DIGITAL SIGNAL TO A COMPUTER, AND K. UNSCRAMBLING SAID PREVIOUSLY MIXED SIGNAL, AND L. ANALYZING SAID RECEIVED SIGNAL FOR DETECTING REFLECTION ZONES WHEREBY AN IMMEDIATE RESULT IS OBTAINED AT SAID REMOTE LOCATION WHILE SAID SEIMIC EXPLORATION OPERATION IS IN PROGRESS.
