On Tuesday, April 16th I got text from Samantha. She said that her husband Ian, had lost his men’s gold wedding band a few months ago. She continued, that he had been working in the yard and it flew off his finger while he was weeding.
Although it took a little over a week before we had a time when we all could meet, I knew it would still be there. Rings you lose in your back yard stay there, as a rule.
I arrived and Ian and Samantha led me to the area where the ring had been lost. I fired up the Minelab Manticore and began a cursive sweep of the area. I got a great hit right where they said the ring had been lost. I ignored that hit and covered the rest of the area just to see if there were others. There were not.
I fired up my pinpointer and put it on the spot the detector had indicated. As I pushed the pinpointer under a clump of grass, I saw the gold ring reveal itself. My prayer was answered. I held the ring up and Ian said, “You found it!”
Happy family! The ring that had been lost for a few months was back on the hand of the owner!
