The faint but insistent beeping of his metal detector was maddening but was preferred to the anxiety inducing high pitched shrieks it made when it detected something. It could just be a piece of scrap from a long dead machine, or it could be a live bomb. He avoided all of them. He had lost track of how many days he had been patrolling the desert.
