I received a text from Jill during all the flooding last month saying her son, Cam, was climbing around on the foot bridge over Deer Creek near Coopersville and dropped his phone. Cam said the phone was waterproof and desperately wanted it back. The flooding was so bad then that a normally thigh deep creek was now chest deep and the current was down right dangerous. I didn’t feel safe wading into that so we put off the search until the water level returned to normal and I could be reasonably sure of my footing. That was the following weekend. It only took about 10 minutes to locate the phone with my Garrett AT Pro. There were so many rocks in the creek bed that my water scoop was useless (except for balance). The phone had been wedged between some rocks so it hadn’t drifted very far from where it went in and I was able to reach in and feel around for it with my hand. I noticed the screen was severely cracked so I had my doubts that it had survived over a week in the water. Cam said the cracks were there when he dropped it and that he would put it in desiccant for a few days before he tried to power it up. He texted me 4 days later and said his phone was ‘COMPLETELY back to life!’ WOW 😮
