Troxler Moisture Density gauge was missing. They returned to the construction site and the
gauge was not there. The
gauge was a Model 3450
Troxler (s/n 885) with 40 milliCuries Am/Be (s/n 78-515) and 8 milliCuries
Cs-137 (s/n 77-261-0). The

The missing Troxler gauge was found (08/05/05 @ 0900) on the highway by a member of the public in Rock Hill, SC just over the boarder between NC and SC. The case of the device was damaged, however, the source was not in the exposed position. It is currently in the possession of the licensee and State inspectors are at the site to inspect the gauge.
