    A metal detector will not find (at least mine won't) a hearing aid
    hiding amongst the leaves and twigs - but this will: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.punchthrough.lightblueexplorer&hl=en

    That is not a (Gasp!) theory. I literally lost my personal Phonak
    amongst the literal leaves and twigs, and I literally found it with
    LightBlue (not to be confused with BudLight) before the end of the day.

    Another tip for outdoorsy folk - which is also not a theory:
    Got some small something that you don't want to permanently lose out
    in the boondocks? Stick some little pieces of retroreflective tape on
    it, wait for darkrise, then hold a LED flashlight close to your eyes,
    and sweep your backtrail. You will find it......unless a possum ate it
    or a trickster coyote moved it.

    One more thing for boondockers: A camouflaged flashlight or wallet are dumbassed ideas..........well..........maybe that's two things for hairsplitters and nitpickers and controversialists - of which we have
    no shortage.

    Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.

    Never heard of superglue?

    Sure, assuming that, by nighttime, you can remember where you backtrail
    is. Hell, JohnGeorge has trouble remembering where his backside is in
    daylight!

    A camouflaged wallet is harder for someone to find to steal. Duh!

    I think you need to go back to walmart and get some better tips.
