On Friday, Alissa took off her 4 carat, white gold wedding band to do work in her backyard patio area. She laid it on the outdoor table for safekeeping. Later, her husband joined the effort and “moved” the table to clean around it.
When they wrapped things up she realized her ring was no longer on the table and nowhere to be found. They searched diligently but had no luck and the next day bought a metal detector. Two days of searching and frustration led her to the RingFinders and I arrived Tuesday evening to help.
My first 30 minutes of searching did not produce the ring but the area had lots of “trash” targets. These spurious signals were primarily metal items left just under the surface from the home construction and 30 years of back porch use. So we started the painstaking process of removing every single piece of metal from the area most likely to hold the ring.
Finally, after another 30 minutes of unearthing foil and screws and coins and pulltabs from the ground, we got the solid tone we were looking for. Bam!
I’ve never tried to make a grown man cry, but it happened right before my eyes. Another ecstatic and relieved customer!
