Metal Detector Needed

I need to locate the metal handle of the second lid of our concrete septic tank. It’s buried just beneath our lawn, and I think I know roughly where it is. 

Anyone have a metal detector that would be suitable for this (I hope) simple job?

Nature of Water Sunday Speakers

Saturday's Nature of Water site visits went wonderfully. 30 plus attendees at five different locations. Great lessons on a wide variety of topics. Everyone came away knowing how precious our water resources are and innovative ways to collect and conserve water.

Sunday's Nature of Water talks (starting at 1pm at Forbes Hall) promise to build on the site visits. Understanding our water, where it comes from, and the choices we have is something that is important to all of us. 

Please come and join us.
See you there!
