A metal detector will not find (at least mine won't) a hearing aid
hiding amongst the leaves and twigs - but this will:

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.

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.

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.
