Bill Kibbel Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 It's an "electronic marker system" that is buried to mark key locations of underground utilities. A transmitter is used to transmit an RF signal that is reflected back from the device. Yellow is for gas. Put it back exactly where you found it.

Why did you initially state "Found it buried in the ground"? It doesn't contain mercury, only water and glycol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenT Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Because that is where one would normally find these. I knew what it was, but thought some may not. Wanted to give a little hint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
