Cuervito has a small token hanging in his vehicle that serves only to indicate which way the ground is. The fact that the token is inscribed with an image of Saint Christopher is pure coincidence, as he is not prey to such superstitions. Since I have a teensy operating budget at work, and since a compass with a arrow that unfailingly points at the ground is $35 more than a compass which tells you which way north is, I've janked together my own damn protractor/plumbline so I can work out slope. However, small non-breakable weights with string attachable parts are less common than you might think. Fortunately, I also have a Saint Christopher medal hanging around. It works pretty well if you need to know where the ground is.
