Cuyler and Eden live out of state, but they are in Iowa visiting family for the holiday weekend. It’s been pretty hot in Iowa lately, and a friendly water balloon fight began among family members to help ease the summer heat. However, sometime during the family fun, Eden lost her diamond wedding ring. Her hands had gotten wet so she shook the water off of them, and then she soon realized that her ring was missing. Today, July 4th, I received a call on her husband, Cuyler. Cuyler told me the story and asked if I would be able to look for his wife’s ring on the holiday. I told Cuyler that I would drive up to Springville and find Eden’s ring.
I arrived at the rural family homestead and met with Cuyler and Eden. I was shown the approximate area where the ring was believed to have been lost. Cuyler had marked out the area for me with landscape flags. The family had performed a visual search, but with the recent rainfall the grass had begun to grow again, and I was certain the ring would be found in the taller grass.
I got my equipment together and began my standard grid pattern search. After about 30-45 minutes of searching, I got a nice solid tone on my Equinox 800. I pinpointed the location and used my Garrett carrot to zero me in on the object in the grass. I spread the grass blades apart and saw a nice shiny diamond ring facing skyward with the stone sparkling like fireworks. I retrieved the ring and reunited it with Eden and her expression of gratitude will not be soon forgotten.
Michael was a pleasure to work with – responsive, confident and efficient. We can’t recommend him enough. Thank you for saving our holiday weekend!
