I was contacted about a lost gold wedding ring in Slidell, Louisiana after it accidentally flew off while the owner was removing his gloves on his back porch. The ring landed somewhere in the wooded backyard area, which included mud, shallow water, and thick vegetation which made it difficult to locate by sight alone.
We scheduled a recovery, and once I arrived in Slidell, the homeowner showed me the last known location. I began a systematic search using my Nokta Makro Simplex Ultra metal detector, placing orange flags to mark signals that were too deep to be the ring, and carefully scanning the area behind the house.
Within about 15 minutes, I received a strong signal in a shallow water section. As I passed over the target again, I could actually see the gold ring faintly visible beneath the water and mud about 1-2 inches deep.
Using my Garrett ProPointer AT, I quickly pinpointed and recovered the ring.
The homeowner and his family were incredibly relieved and excited to have the ring back. Losing a wedding ring can be stressful, but fast response and the right equipment make all the difference.
If you have lost a ring in the New Orleans, Louisiana area please reach out to me and I can attempt to recover your ring.
