How to find water shutoff with a metal detector, Forked River NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder


Tom asked if possibly I would be available to help locate his city water shutoff in the front yard. Years ago, he had done some landscaping, laying down landscape fabric and stones, thinking he would remember the shutoff location. Many years later, he decided to place a box with a lid over the shutoff for easy access in case of emergencies. Unfortunately he was not able to find it partially because of the roots that had grown over the entire area, making it impossible to dig.
I arrived at his house and carefully searched the area until I found the strongest, most consistent signal matching the steel iron of the shutoff valve. A nearby maple tree had sent large roots sprawling through the area, making it nearly impossible to dig. We had to use a hatchet and an axe to cut through the thick roots. Sure enough, about six inches down, we uncovered the valve.
Now, Tom can clear the space and install a commercial access box, ensuring the shutoff will always be easy to locate and use.

A little something different. This is the nicest review I have ever received. Its from Rachel, who contacted me after her father George, lost his family heirloom necklace he had worn for 50 years.


I received a call from Carol, asking if I would be able to find her sons wedding ring. We went over some of the pertinent details, and I told her I would be happy to help. The ring was in a safe location on the beach, otherwise I would have stopped what I was doing and head right to their location. Taking that into consideration, and the fact they were staying at the beach for the day, we agreed to meet a bit later in the day. When I arrived , she showed me the general area, and just a few moments later the ring was in my scoop. The beach was packed, and the audience was amazed at how quickly the ring was found. Phil had walked back to the house, we ran into each other on the dune walkover, talked a bit, and continued on. Phil, again, thank you for your service.

She was so happy to get her precious ring back where it belonged. The big smile and hug said it all and made it worth while. Glad I could help.
