As you may or may not know, California has been in a serious drought for
the last 3 years. Interestingly, we got about 30" of rain where I live
in just December. Didn't make much a dent in the drought, but it did
turn a lot of dust into mud that flowed into culverts that had not seen
action in quite some time.
Well, we have kind of a long driveway with at least 7 culverts. A
couple of these culverts got buried; seriously buried with all the dust
turning into flowing mud.
I spent half a day last weekend attempting to "un-bury" these things,
but could not find them. I'm wondering if a metal detector could find
them, and if anyone knows how deep a chunk of metal (like a 15"
corrugated metal conduit) could be detected?
One of the culverts is about 15" in diameter (might be 18", I didn't
measure it). One end is exposed, and I know approximately where it
should be on the opposite side of the driveway. I dug down to a depth
of almost 5' with the tractor, and was not able to expose the buried end.
However, the other culvert is only about 8" in diameter, and both ends
are completely buried.
