Hey, sorry I didn't see this question. Yeah, it's just a moisture probe. It looks like a long thin metal tube with a little meter attached to the end with a needle that points to DRY, MOIST, or WET...

It's really helpful in getting the feel for things when you start out. You can get 'em at Ace, Home Depot, probably Wallyworld. Just go to the garden section and ask for a moisture probe or something.
