November 2024. The morning after Thanksgiving 2024 I got a call from a man saying he, his kids and the neighborhood kids were playing basket ball in his driveway after Thanksgiving dinner. Shooting a basket, off flew his wedding band into the grass, he told me they had looked for the ring for over an hour with no luck, but he knew exactly where it had landed. It turns out he was less than 5 miles from my home, so I grabbed my detector and hopped into my car and drove over to his home.
As I arrived he and a buddy came out to greet me and showed me the area where he had lost his ring. I wish I had thought to take a picture of the area because it looked like a bunch of wild hogs had rooted the entire grass area up. I chuckled to myself and thought “well they certainly tried to find that ring!”
I turned my detector on and started to swing about 3 feet from the area they had searched figuring I would make an overlap pattern wider then where they had searched. No more than 2 swings and not even close to the search area and bang a solid hit, brushing the grass away there was his ring. I remember him shaking his head in disbelief and saying “we weren’t even looking in the right place!”
He would not take no for the reward, so I took it and told him I would buy some toys and donate them to Toy’s for Tots which I did. There is nothing better than getting some good Karma especially right before Christmas!
