Good idea on poking around! I forgot that I have a 4' or 5' long stainless steel 1/4" dia. rod with a 5/16" bearing welded on the bottom end, and a 12" long or so handle welded to the top. Easy to push into the ground when looking for tiles or septic leach fields. The ball bearing makes it a lot easier to pull it out of the ground - the dirt doesn't grab onto the rod.
