how to find a lost ring in tall Grass Tag | The Ring Finders

 

Mandeep contacted me around 6 p.m. requesting assistance in locating his two‑year‑old 22k yellow gold wedding band. After asking my standard questions to understand how and where it was lost, I agreed to help.

We met at the field where he had played a cricket match the previous day. Mandeep had prepared a hand‑drawn map and marked the area with yellow paint to indicate where he believed the ring had fallen. It was a large section of the field, so I continued asking questions to narrow down the search zone. He explained that while attempting to catch the ball, it grazed his finger, causing him to instinctively flick his hand—sending the ring flying somewhere onto the field.

He immediately called a time‑out, and his teammates joined him in a thorough search, but they were unable to locate the ring.

Based on his best recollection, Mandeep estimated the ring could be within a 50′ x 50′ area. I conducted a detailed search of that section for about an hour before confirming the ring was not there. Although disappointed, he remained hopeful. I reassured him that if the ring was still on the field, I would find it.

We then moved to the second marked location and spent another hour searching without success. As I reviewed the painted markings—two circles about a foot apart—I received a clean 68 VDI tone on my Manticore detector just outside the marked area. Moments later, I spotted the edge of the ring nestled in the grass.

Mandeep’s reaction was pure joy. He nearly jumped over the moon when I handed him his wedding band.

Thank you, Mandeep, for trusting me to help recover such a meaningful item.
