About an hour ago i dropped one of my airpods down a 6m deep non entry manhole when surveying the invert level. So, how have you been an idiot recently?

I went out solo to find some plat mons and establish control in a fairly remote area. There were still visible divots in the centerline of the road from the last guy who dug them up; no ring but they seemed to be the right distances, so I started digging, and digging... and digging. I had ditch the shovel for a hand trowel and soon after, had to ditch the trowel, and started pulling up this weird red sand a handful at a time until I was shoulder deep in the road, pulling up loose soil.
I brushed myself off and took a closer look at the plat. Sandstone monument w/ x-cut Shit. I walk over to the next spot, gingerly excavate a half foot of sediment, and sure enough, red sandstone with x-cut. Oops.
Hopefully I can trust y'all to not report me to the survey police.
