Yesterday I got an urgent call from my small town elementary school. It seems that they found razor blades long staples and nails in an artificial turf playground at the school. So I took my Safari and propointer to the school at noon and started looking. I found about 15 long nails and a long staple in the 2 hours of detecting. I had the help of a talkative maintenance man and many curious kids watching my every move with lots of questions. It seems that the company that recently installed artificial turf had had left this stuff scattered in a 100 foot by 50 foot area of the playground. Very careless of them! I would of been sick if one of those grade school kids would of gotten injured by that companys carelessness. Plus it was Fun!!!

Sounds like they need to buy one of those big magnets on a stick.

That was a Good Deed Done. You very well may have saved a child from injury.
