I received a call from Mike about his wife losing her wedding ring. Losing a ring can be very traumatic, though Mike stayed calm and started some research on how to find a missing ring. He came upon theringfinders.com and started reading about all the recoveries made. Mike gave me a call and asked if I could help. His wife was out watering the plants in the backyard and cleaning up after their dog. When she got back in the house and started to wash her hands, she noticed only her engagement ring was on her finger and the wedding band was missing. These cases are tough when the person has no clear knowledge of when the ring came off. It could have been while leaving work, in her car, in the house or in the yard. I ask many questions to try and narrow the search as much as possible. Both Mike and his wife were pretty sure the ring fell off in the backyard while doing chores. As I let everyone know up front, if the ring is in the yard, I’ll find it. If it’s not there, we can start looking other places such as in her car. I have found many rings hiding under the seats and in little crevices in a car. They hide incredibly well. We all went to the back yard and she showed me exactly where she was watering and cleaning up. I started a grid search of the yard to cover every square inch. It only took 10 minutes or so and my Minelab Manticore gave me the beautiful gold tone. I knelt down with my pinpointer in the thick grass and there it was!!! It’s such a great feeling to find these lost valuables. Truly glad I could help out.
Take Care,
Darrin
