Unable to locate a buried solenoid for one zone in a residential sprinkler system despite using a wire tracer.

Workarounds Described

• uses tone and chatter mode on wire tracer to find solenoid
• guesses based on dirt and grass coverage muffling sound

Implied Software Gaps

• Device that induces detectable physical response in buried solenoid regardless of soil cover

SolenoidSnap

A handheld device that emits a strong, targeted magnetic field to induce a detectable vibration or sound in buried solenoids, even through dirt and grass. Works independently of wire tracing.
