I received a call regarding a lost wedding ring that occurred while playing volleyball. The problem was that the volleyball court was mobile, encompassing the area of nearly a football field. Worse, I was directed to where it was thought they had been playing. It was not in that area but it was found!
The owner was very happy as seen in the photo.
In September of this year, I received a telephone call from an individual asking if I thought I might locate a lost engagement and wedding band, lost in the fall of 2014. I believe I commented that if it is still there, I will find it.
Upon arrival on 9/23/19, I was given a tour of where they might be lost when raking leaves and other yard work. I believe the first day I was there 7.5 hours. I had to limit searching the second day and onward in about 4 hour increments. I was then shown a bank where 5 years of leaves and brush had been deposited. This was the second possible hot spot. That bank was steep enough that I needed to wear crampons. At the bottom was a tree, about 24 inches in diameter that was there when they were lost. It had to go. So I brought a chainsaw and cut it into sections where I could move them with a digging iron. That search was futile. On to several other possibilities. Last week I decided to go back to another section of bank, adjacent to the first. This involved cutting another tree that was 1/2 way down the bank. Anyway, as I was about to leave on 12/10/19, having searched with my CTX3030 in the rain most of the morning, I found it after a ten week search. Owner was thrilled and speechless. Going back when the weather cooperates to find the gold band.
This was a difficult recovery but persistence reunited this beautiful ring, with all its memories, back to the owner.
