Recovered Gold Wedding Ring Lost During Landscaping
I received a call from Michael who shared the story of losing his custom wedding ring that he lost while landscaping his front yard. He recollected the various tasks he had done that could have separated his ring from him, as well as some potential looseness of the ring as well. And upon searching for how to find a lost gold ring he came upon Ring Finders and my contact information. So we coordinated to meet at his house and conduct the search.
When I arrived Michael showed me in good detail all of the places he could have lost his ring. He also gave me some prioritization of where to search given the activities he was doing in those areas which helped a lot. Several of these places were quite concerning as they would require getting in to the shrubbery and around trees with a pinpointer since a full sized metal detector would not fit.
As I got started, I used a variety of techniques to get around the folliage and into the highest probability locations. But after about 45 minutes in a rather confined total area I had not come up with anything. So I asked Michael to describe everything again and walk me through the locations he worked. We did find one area that I hadn’t covered yet, so I searched this spot as well, then started doing a more meticulous search with pinpointer alone. Of course in doing this I resigned myself to finding all the stray nails and wire in the area as well, but given that Michael had very nicely manicured landscaping this was not too big of a problem.
After about another 45 minutes of this I returned to the highest probability location Michael had identified, and there right behind the first tree that Michael had identified, but in a location that I was unable to reach with my fully assembled metal detector, I found Michael’s ring with my pinpointer.
I related the good news to Michael and we were both ecstatic that I was able to recover it, and I was thrilled that I was able to work on such a detailed recovery that required some creativity to complete.
