We got call from Faith, she said she was Skydiving for the first time. Once she landed in the field she was taking off her Goggles and felt her brand NEW (only had them 24 hours/10yr anniversary gift) Gold & Diamond Ear Ring flew off. She immediately dropped to her knees with her parachute still attached and started looking for her ear ring. Her partner and all of the staff at the Sky Diving Club searched and searched but with no luck. They bought a metal detector NO Luck, the had someone come out with a better Metal Dectector- NO Luck. Someone suggested she better hire a Pro, so she called “The Dallas Ringfinders”.
We got the call 1 week after the loss, we scheduled to come out after church on Sunday and met the couple and all 7 of the staff of the Sky Diving Club, everyone there had been searching for the Ear Ring. Great thing was the staff had put out a orange cone at the landing location where Faith had landed. Ellen & I got our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors and our Garrett Water Proof Pinpointers and began our search… it only took a minute. I got a solid 45 gold signal at less than 2 inches deep. I checked the site with my Pinpointer but go No signal, I then cleared the dried grass with my foot and scanned again, still getting the 45 Gold signal indicator. I then bent down and slowly and carefully scanned the area with my pinpointer and got a hit on the edge of the thick grass I had cleared.. still seeing nothing I use my hand to slowly clear the grass and then I saw the “Glint”. What fun to return a beautiful ear ring..
