hehe.. reminds me of the days when I started on shortwave. After pushing 
a 2 metre / meter long copper tube 1.9 m into the ground (while water 
from a pump flowing through it), I disconnected the hose, and went to 
the garage to turn off the pump. When returning to the garden, the 
damned tube was gone -  had further continued its journey into the deep !
I had to dig it out, and found it in a depth of ~ 30 cm below the 
ground. So beware... there may be copper-eating aliens  underground, 
especially when the ground is sandy :-)
