My second good deed for the city.

[Merf]

A few months back my heighbor who works for the city asked me to try and find a set of keys that he had dropped in a field. They were to the door of the controller for a
new electric flag pole. Luckily I found them quickly and got many thank yous.
Today he asked if I could find a buffalo box [water shutoff] and I said probably.
This city and a larger nearby city had tried with their locators and failed.
We got to the site and I could see that they had broken up concrete in two places in the driveway and removed one section of sidewalk to no avail.
It took about 10 minutes and the fourth target we probed was the box.
About 6 inches off of the edge of the driveway. I got a lot more thank yous and an offer of beer and a steak dinner.
Now I just feel all warm and fuzzy.

Great job Merf, do they let you detect city property?

 

[Merf]

Yes they do Savant but the town is so small [2000 people] there is no good places on city property to detect. The oldest park was put in in about 1970.

WTG Merf......now, about that electric flag pole?...care to explain?....I'd really like to know how much the city spent on that...again, nice job!

 

[Merf]

Thanks Copperhead--The flag pole has controls behind a small locked door.
Flip a switch and the flag goes up. It also has lights.
The town is growing fast and It was probably paid for by one of the developers.

The "Corner" still alludes me. I think it is right where the highway goes through and when they excavated for the highway they wiped out any remnants.
