Hire Metal Detector hire service and the lost key  jungle search started with a  metal detector hire request for assistance from Else a university student in Ultimo who for close on 10 days had been searching in vain for her friend’s lost car keys dropped some time while gardening.  She phoned as soon as she discovered my web page and metal detector search service. Lost car keys recoveredThe garden on arrival was  full of mature plants with a compost bin in the middle for organic waste. It was night time with rain showers, making the garden all the more dark and jungle like.  I was prepared  for the rain and the dark.  I wasn’t to know it at first but this  job was to be the amongst the most  challenging metal detector jobs I have undertaken. When starting the search it soon became apparent overhead there where power lines above the bushes and underground there was a buried power cable with 12V AC for the front gate entery latch. On the near sides of the garden were concrete slabs with steel  reinforcing mesh.  This meant the E trac metal detector had to reject interference from two nearby power sources power and discriminate the  large mass of steel in the concrete to pick up other metal signals. To many other detectors this would be game over, a no go search zone but with some advanced metal detector techniques this area was searchable.  The  metal detector was able to cancel all but the very close 12v ac power cable less than a meter from the search area. The machine was  yet constantly warbling in a noisy manner due to the close  12v power  under ground line yet  luck would  have it I was still able to pick out clear metal target noises.  But the worst was yet to come.  As Else  was adding to the  the compost bin heap it was strongly thought the key was lost in it. So the search began pulling out all metal items digging in and around a pungent compost heap steaming in the cold night air as it was disturbed. Digging  through the  mound was really  bad now so you know why it was one of the worst  jobs. lol  All manner of  metal rubbish was removed that didn’t  belong in a compost  heap. but no key was  found. It was then  Else  mentioned she used some of the compost to fill 200mm deep hollows in the garden nearby so we turned the all metal search over them pulling  out numerous metal bottle tops and metal bits.  But in the end out  popped  her friends missing car key. After thoroughly washing  myself and equipment I thanked  Else for the base fee and the extra unasked for reward money for enduring the compost heap beyond  the call of  duty.
