so earlier today i had my pvc rail set up at the local junior high that has a small sledding hill. my phone came out of the phone pocket (it wasnt velcrowed securely) some where on the hill, i spent 90 minutes+ looking for it and got some little kids to help. (i told them i would give them 10 bucks if they found it) it is in probably a 200 squaure foot area and is black. i scraped snow off of like 80% of it and was wondering if theres any ways that would help me locate it. it was in a water proof case

i dont know anything about metal detectors other than the fact that they produce an alternating magnetic field that gets disrupted when it contacts metal, but i always thought magnets + electronics is a bad idea

would the metal detector ruin the phone?

Maybe youd be able to see the lit up screen thru the snow when it receives the call

this right here, minus the metal detector since I highly doubt you;ll be able to detect the amount of metal in the average cellphone with any average metal detector. unless you can get your hands on some really strong one.

Well I think you need a crane to get it out of the snow and maybe a beacon/shovel/probe.

This thread gave me an idea!

if you ski backcountry, deep pow, and you are not local, you should attach recco transceiver to your skis, so if you wipe out badly, and roll for whole 100 feet, and get up not having an idea whats your name, and wtf are you doing on the hill w/o skis, you should figure out, you have tracking device on each of skis!
