  This is what you do.. Pay attention, this really works.. 
  What you do is get some string, good quality... And a few beer cans with one end cut off. Don't waste the beer, drink it first.. It'll help with the whole process.. Then you attach an end of the string to each can carefully. Take your time here, good quality knots are important as to not lose the can that you send in. Therefore being able to recycle it still.. So obviously your next step is to send one can out to sea, approximately the distance you think you may want to dig. Make sure you hold onto the other can firmly. Don't want that one to get away from you.. Then, just like in the old days before cell phones and all that garbage, you call yourself using the cans and string with this technique.  You get a stethoscope as previously mentioned by others, and as you call into the can, you get down on your hands and knees, and listen with the stethoscope.. If you can't hear yourself at first, yell louder into the can until you can.. It may take a few attempts..
  Now, I'm willing to give this info out on the condition that you record your attempt at this to video so that I can tell you if you did it correctly. Please post the video in your next email.. 

  Good luck!!!

  Man, how come it isn't this easy to write my article in the Kfactor? lol
