Finding the septic

A horseshoe for luck

It's been over 3 years since my septic was serviced and emptied. I decided it was high time to have it taken care of. 

When the two very nice guys from the septic tank company showed up I pointed them to the back left hand corner of the property because that's where I thought it was, covered over with grass.
But I was wrong. They tried and tried and tried to poke a metal bar into the ground to try and hit the cement cover of the tank, but to no avail.
They then tried to run a cable camera into the sewer line from the basement to locate it. Success!
It turned out to be right to the side of the stone retaining wall in the yard. I'll never forget where it is again! One happy thing is that while digging up the cover they found a horseshoe...good for luck!

The dirt patch is the X that marks the spot
