Jeff found my website while searching for lost earrings. He gave my number to Katie, who called me. She was refereeing a lacrosse game and at one point swatted at her ear. She felt her earring hit her back and disappear. Katie & several friends spent a couple of hours searching on their hands & knees with flashlights.
I went right to the fields when we hung up. Katie & her mom were out there again looking. I told them not to get their hopes up because stud earrings are one of the hardest things to find, as they have minimal metal on them. I told them I would give it my best shot. She showed me the area she believed she was in & I started a grid pattern.
I had her remove her other earring and did a test scan. I knew the tone & number to look for. I was receiving a lot of signals, but not within the desired range. After about 10 minutes, I got a number in the range, I bent down to look, and so did Katie’s mom. I think we both saw it at the same time. Katie’s mom said “Oh my God” like 10 times. “I can’t believe he found it.” Katie was shocked!
We took a few pictures. I learned that Katie is a newlywed. The earring was pushed into the dirt under the thick grass, so it was probably stepped on. I told her to take it to a jeweler to ensure the large stone is still securely set. They said they are going to tell everyone they know about my service.
