Liz reached out me to 3-4 weeks ago after finding me in The Ring Finder Directory. It was after a huge snow storm dumped 18 inches of snow in the area. She told me her husband, Kevin, was out shoveling and messing around in the deep snow in their front yard when his large platinum wedding band disappeared. Kevin distinctly remembered the feeling that his ring flew off in the front yard while he was playing around in the deep snow. I came the next day after the storm moved out of the area. I spent 90 minutes searching the front yard of their home…but the snow was crazy deep and it was very difficult to effectively scan the area. After a good but futile effort to try to locate the ring we agreed I would come back after the snow melted. Well…3 weeks later I headed back. With another huge storm predicted to dump 18 inches of new snow tomorrow I figured I better get over there! I brought 2 metal detectors with me…one with a 15 inch coil that’s good for covering the grassy yard and another with a 6 inch coil which is good for looking under bushes and in tight spaces. I first started by scanning the entire grassy yard with the machine with the larger coil…no luck. I grabbed my other detector with the smaller coil and start checking under all the shrubs and bushes bordering the front yard and BOOM! I finally got the signal I was looking for…I looked down through the middle of a large bush and without even bending down I could see Kevin’s large shiny band sitting there underneath the bush. Kevin and LIz were both standing close by when I gave my fist pump victory sign! I believe Liz actually shed a few tears and the two of them were so full of joy to see the ring back on Kevin’s finger!
