Dean called me yesterday and asked if I would be able to locate a small pendant that fell off a gold chain necklace. These searches can be tough as metal detectors need a certain amount of metal to actually give a signal. I find that the metal in the size of a diamond stud earing will not give off a signal. We do have other methods though, as I told Dean. If people can narrow the search area down to approximately a 10′ X 10′ area, we can use a “pinpointer” which will detect a very small amount of metal. Dean’s wife was sitting on the deck reading when her necklace somehow broke and fell to the deck. She was looking at the gold necklace, though the gold/diamond pendant must have fallen through the slots in the deck boards. They were able to pin point the area under the deck which was a great help. I had about a 3 foot clearance above me, so I had to crawl in and search on my hands and knees. After removing countless staples, nails, screws, grommets etc. I found the pendant. Glad I could help out!!!
Take Care,
Darrin
