I dropped my phone somewhere out in a 5 acre sage field and have spent all day looking for it. I have the locations turned off. Is there any hope?

So you don’t have find my iPhone activated???? That’s your possible hope if you activated it and left location on for that. Otherwise I don’t know what to tell you. Good luck. Hope you find it.

Can you not take another cell phone and call yourself? You may be able to hear it ring.

I have the locations turned off under the privacy part. I don’t think I have find my phone off. Can I use wife’s phone to locate it with that?

I would try because if you have find my iPhone there is a chance location is turned on for that app on your iPhone. I have location turned off in privacy but several apps are still on individually including Find my iPhone. Try it.

Maybe get a small drone up at dusk to help spot light. Or maybe if sunny a reflection off phone.
Another option is to get several friends to slowly walk the field and sweep the whole area.

How tall is the sage? Last ditch effort would be to mow the field and hope the phone survives the blades.

I see it in my wife’s find phone app in the field but I walked it for hours today. It’s not detailed enough to arrow it down or show my present location and walk to it. There is a option to play a sound but I don’t know if it will be low volume or not.

go to: icloud.com/find and sign-in to see last known location.
If you have someone with a thermal drone it might detect the small amount of heat from the battery or sitting in sun.

Run the tracker in onX to see where you’ve walked to make sure you cover it all.

The sound will play at full volume, or at least mine did when I lost it bush hogging. Get as close as possible and then play the sound. I logged into my I cloud and was able to get within a few yards of it before I activated the sound

Go buy a new phone and you'll find the list phone the next time you're in the field

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
My phone screen does not always work right, usually a lot of misspelled words....

I figured that out and got wife to set it off when I got out in field. Found it👍🏻Good feature cause I had the volume turned all the way down.Thanks for help.
