Wow, Wayne. That is a GOOD one. I would never have thought of that. I'm making a list so I don't leave anything out when I go. Thanks. What would make a good probe for finding buried tombstones? Anyone? Anyone?

One good probe is welding rod. The kind you use with a torch. It is about 1/8 inch and about 3 ft long and made of brass. You can bend the top so you can turn it and it will go down anywhere by twisting the bent part. It won't go in rocky soil but normally covered stones would not have rocks over them.
