Found a local cache. Inside the cache there was a trackable tag. I didn’t realize there was a hole in the top of the nearby wall and went to set it on the wall (which was above my eye level) so I could give it to Scrappy to pick up.
I heard an audible gasp from him. It went right down the hole. Oh no.
Luckily - I’m quick and crafty. I had two short dog leashes in the car along with two powerful magnets.
I connected the leashes and sandwiched the handle of one between the magnets. Then dropped the magnet end down the hole.
First try fishing it out and it worked like a charm! Happy we could rescue and move along. Phew!
