I'm curious about what you are trying to find out with this experiment. Certainly it is not to prove that time does in fact dilate. Are you planning on using time to measure relative differences in gravity? That seems reasonable because as it turns out times is the physical quantity that can be measured to the highest precision. It might be interesting to see how the rate of time changes as a result of Earthquakes, magma circulating deep underground or as the moon orbits the earth and the tides change.
I think the record for detecting time dilation using clocks in a 1 meter difference in elevation. I'm sure someone here knows where this was published.
