I received a text from Steve saying his daughter had lost her ring in the corn pit on their family outing at this fun park. They had returned home and were sitting around the house when Enza burst out in tears. They were all wondering what happened to her when she said, “my ring is gone”. She had received the silver ring on her 10th birthday in July of this year. Steve and I arranged a time to meet on Monday afternoon which worked out well because the fun park is closed on Monday’s and we had the whole corn pit by ourselves with the owners permission. Steve met me there and Enza could not be there because she was in school. He showed me a couple of spots about 10 ft square where she had been playing and checking the first spot I found nothing. Second spot I got a faint signal right away and gave Steve the pinpointer to check that spot. He couldn’t find anything so I continued on but then came right back to recheck that spot. We started to dig down in the almost 2 ft deep of shelled corn to retrieve that target and finally had it out of the hole. I scanned the top of the corn pile we dug out and got a good hit. I told Steve to check that spot right there and he reached in and there was the ring. Somebody must have stepped on the ring because it was almost on the bottom. About 5 minutes and we had the ring. Steve said when he got home that Mom surprised Enza by holding out 2 hands and having her pick one, second try she got the big surprise. It never gets old doing this!!
