At one of my work locations, I was talking about detecting when the manager asked me if I could try to find a survey stake. Iron targets one after another was all I could find. This stake was not at the road or corner of a visible lot and he only had a vague idea of where it was. Ten minutes later and he said it wasn't important, just curious.
I will never understand people.

It's really dumb for someone to rely on a detectorist to locate the property boundaries, if there is any possibility that the location of the boundary might be the subject of a dispute. Unless done by a licensed surveyor, it's worthless for legal purposes. No, I am not a licensed surveyor.
This. I've only looked for stuff for family and friends. 10 times out of 9 there is electrical service or equipment all over where the target is said to be. Don't even bother anymore... I just say "too much emi, won't work if there is anything electrical within 50-100 yards " because, most of the time, there is...

I had some what the same situation. Wanted ME TO DRIVE 4 hours one way, I told him i would walk him through it with any detector he had. I told him if i came there I would EXPECT $300 when i got there.They was looking for a 3 day lost ring. He said he would try my way first of telling him how to do it. Well while i was giving him instructions WHAM they got it. His EXACT WORDS WERE HEY I GOT IT !!11 glad you didn't hve to come here !!! and HUNG UP NO thank you !!!
