Lost keys found in a horse paddock

Today’s search was tricky for a few reasons. The main issue was that the lost keys were somewhere in a massive search area. They were lost in one of two 2 hectare paddocks and narrowing the search zone was difficult.

The second major issue was that the keys were lost in knee high grass, so both keeping the coil close to the ground and also following up on signals was difficult.

The client was the lovely Liz who did her best to cut down the area and fill me in on how she lost the keys, but couldn’t really cut it down too much. I gave Liz a quick lesson in how to use a detector and handed over a Tesoro Silver, while I used my Sovereign GT and went to work.

Unfortunately the paddocks were full of metal junk so searching was painful, slow and annoying. After 2 hours we were both starting to get tired and we were just about to give up for the day when Liz yelled out that she had eyeballed the keys šŸ™‚

So the day ended successfully and I headed home to charge the detector and standby for the next job. Cool šŸ™‚
