Missing Ring in the Wiser Lake Area
Yes unfortunately another lost ring? Thought she had lost it at her brother-in-laws house at a birthday party. After covering that location we then went to her home and recreated her morning that day. Worked a few areas around her house then she remembered she took a walk into the woods so off we went. Swinging the metal detector along a wooded trail to a beautiful location turned up nothing. Of course I kept swinging on the way back and actually spotted it on the ground a bit off the trail and made the find. It is interesting how a ring ends up where it is eventually found. Every time I make a find I learn something new about how and where to look. It is not as simple as it seems, and why we get calls from people who have spent days searching. So yes we can usually help and often its is not always with the metal detector or in the location believed to be.
Got a call for a lost ring in Ferndale Washington. He was doing yard work and throwing all his debris over a fence into a field spreading it out as he went along. So of course he thought it flew off his finger while flinging plant cuttings. Often a lost item isn’t where you think its is. Unfortunately the only way to rule out the idea is to search. It was a straight forward area of search that turned up nothing. I then will try to recreate the scene and take the client back in time to relive the moment before the obvious to after. Help them walk through it and usually some other locations or ideas will turn up. Unfortunately in this case that did not help either. I kept swinging back to my car and found it in the parking area. Another location where people often lose items.
