At work today, I got a call from a guy who needed help finding a cellphone. So, we made arrangements to meet at his driveway as soon as I got out of work.
His driveway was very long, steep, and zigzagged up the hillside. He had been out doing things in the driveway while his plow person was doing the plowing, when he realized that his phone was missing from his pocket. They looked for it with no luck and figured it must have been plowed deep into a pile. He did some shoveling but didn’t find it.
We started at a huge pile on one of the corners, where he was pretty sure it might be. I swung all over it without getting a good signal. So, we shoveled some off the top and I got a signal you could barely hear. We dug down about a foot and the signal got louder. I dug down with a plastic trowel, stuck the pinpointer in and got a good signal. Dug down even further and there it was. It was 2 feet below where my first signal was!
Awesome moment! His phone had extremely important data on it, and it wasn’t even damaged.
