I received a call from Sharon while I was at work on a 24 hour shift. She explained to me that she was catching some rays in her backyard and took off her wedding band and placed it on her towel. When she was done she got up and shook her towel, forgetting that she removed her ring.
When she discovered that it was missing she did a search of the yard with no luck. They had company over and they were all on their hands and knees searching. They even borrowed a family members metal detector with no luck.
She did an internet search and found me on Ring Finders and gave me a call. I explained that I was at work, but I could meet her the next day. She agreed.
The next day Sharon gave me a call while she was on her way home from work. I met her and her husband, Justin. They showed me the area that Sharon was sitting. I went to may truck and got my machine. It took 3 swings when I got a nice strong low tone. I bent down and moved the grass to reveal a platinum wedding band. Found with in less than a minute.
Sharon and Justin couldn’t believe that I found it so quickly. The smile on her face was priceless…
Below is her story:
Another truth about metal detecting, it’s not so much about the MD, but more about the guy swinging it…. great job, great find!
Yep… Owning a metal detector does not make one a detectorist. Practice and learning is the only way to achieve any level of competency. Good find.
