Matt called me at 6pm and said he had dropped his ONLY truck key and faub into the water which was about 4 feet deep as he was getting out of his boat and onto the dock. He had searched for a long time but was unable to find it. I rushed down to the lake immediately as it was a race against daylight. The bottom of the lake was all muck and weeds. Not a good situation. I decided to go in without the detector and just use the probe but that only stirred up more cloudy muck which would only bury it deeper. I abandoned the probe and I chose to make a visual search trying not to touch the bottom. Because I was moving so slowly and carefully, I could not stay down near the bottom so I asked Matt if he had a weight of some kind to hold me down. He had a small 6lb anchor which did the trick. After 20 minutes I saw what looked like a glint of the key ring sticking out of the mud. I had found the key. We were both thrilled and very lucky! It would have been an expensive nightmare for Matt to have the truck towed and get a new key made from the dealership (without a spare) to make it from. A very happy ending.
