New Use for an Old Speaker

I was working on my wife's car last month and had to disassemble the thermostat housing to replace the outer casing. As I was sitting in the driveway dissecting it, a black, hairpin-shaped spring got away from me and went flying into the yard. I scoured the grass on my hands and knees for 20-30 minutes, but it was hopeless. The spring had buried itself in the blades of grass and simply couldn't be seen. In desperation, I got an old 12" speaker out of my junk pile in the garage. It's the type with a large ceramic magnet on the back. I tied a rope to one of the basket struts, set the speaker on the grass upside-down, and proceeded to drag it all over the yard in a criss-cross pattern. An hour later, I had my spring. This is why I never throw anything away...
