The Ring Finders
Metal Detecting Service Inc.

A short while ago, a friend of mine called me stating that he had been gardening and had lost his titanium weding band in the front yard. He wondered if I might be able to help him locate it.  I said I would be happy to try.  I arrived at his house, set up my metal detector and began my search.  I searched using a grid pattern, covering the area where he stated he had been gardening.  After covering the ground completly, recovering a good number of pull tabs and old roofing nails, I told him with confidence that the ring was not there.  I suggested ee look in some other likely places, such as the garage, bathroom, kitchen, or the bedroom.  He said we could look, but he was certain that it was not  in any of thse places.  He looked in the garage and was not able to find it. He looked in the master bedroom, and searched around the dresser and night stand but still could not find the ring.  Finally, he moved the bed so that he could look underneath.  After not seeing it, he decided to give up. As he was moving the bed back into place, my friend gave the bed a bump to get it back up against the wall.  As he gave the bed the final bump, he heard a slight thud, like someting falling onto the carpet.  He again looked under the bed and guess what?  There was his wedding ring!  It had apparently fallen off his night stand where he had put it, and had become caught up in the bed frame.  When the bed was bumped, it was freed and fell to the carpet.  My friend was very happy, and so was I, even if my metal detector was not the reason for the ring recovery!
