Phil was playing with his two year old daughter in the backyard of their home in Palm Harbor and in the process of running around with her, his wedding ring flew off of his finger into the thick St. Augustine grass. Phil, who admitted to me later that the ring was loose on his finger, believed the he knew the area where the ring landed in their small back yard so he immediately began a visual search. After he was unable to find his ring, Phil purchased an inexpensive metal detector and searched for his ring but again, was unable to find it. Unfortunately, most people who purchase their own metal detector to find their lost items are unsuccessful because they have never used one previously so they lack the necessary experience.
Phil’s wife Chrissy found me on social media (I share all my recoveries with neighborhood pages) and we arranged a time for me to come to their home to search for the ring. Phil met me when I arrived and directed me to the area where he felt like the ring had fallen. After about a 30 minute search and a few buried targets identified, I was unable to locate the ring so I expanded my search into the opposite direction, sweeping the grass with my detector coil between the vinyl fence and the pool area. After a few minutes more and very close to the pool deck I received a strong and promising surface tone and before I could reach down to probe into the grass with my handheld pinpointer, I saw the ring nestled in the grass! Phil had walked away for just a moment so I called him back over to show him the ring before I picked it up. Needless to say we were both very happy with the discovery!
Phil and Chrissy, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find Phil’s wedding ring!
