Sourdough Scott Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 My friends at the Reno Prospecting & Detecting Club donated their time to help the local fire departments find the fire hydrants under the enormous amount of snow we had. Well done ! If you ever get a chance to meet Ules, he is a true gentleman and a heck of a detectorist. http://www.kolotv.com/content/news/Metal-detecting-club-helps-find-buried-fire-hydrants-411817755.html 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Good work guys. It always helps to show people who use metal detectors in a good light! "We could dig for hours trying to find them and still be a few feet to the left or the right," Moore said. "Plus we have to wait for the plows to come through and do their work, they throw more snow on top of the hydrants and that makes them even harder to uncover. Even with the flags on top a lot of these hydrants are just going to be hard to find." That's why the department got in touch with the Reno Prospecting and Detecting Club. The idea was to use their equipment to help pinpoint the exact location of these hydrants."
