Jim,

I like the digital gauge. Don't know why it never occurred to me.

I will have to try the white block for that.

One of the things I did was to put a hash mark every inch on the rod with a permanent marker. Makes it easier to tell the depth that way.

I picked this up years ago. It will measure to a depth of six inches. Very handy to bring to a gun show.
