I got a call from Kanti, a very nice woman who had lost her ring. The house where she lost it was getting new tenants the next day, so there was a significant time crunch to get it recovered before the tenants started their move-in. She went back to the house that evening to look for the ring and said she would text me if she was unable to find it (and needed me to find it). Several texts later, I met her at 7am at the house and she explained how the ring came to be lost. She and her husband had been carrying things from the house out to his truck, when she noticed a “spider-webby” thing on her hand. Startled, she threw her hands up and the ring flew off. Knowing exactly when a ring comes off is unusual — most people only notice it’s no longer on their finger at a later time. Kanti was able to show me exactly where she was standing when it came off, so the search area was somewhat limited. Starting from that spot, I gridded the area, but didn’t find the ring. I expanded the search area to include the space behind where she was standing, and quickly found the ring in the grass. It wasn’t buried, but it wasn’t visible from above. so my detector did its job. Glad to be able to get the ring back where it belongs – another happy ending!
