Man’s Lost Gold & Tantalum Wedding Ring Found! – Racine, Wisconsin.
Racine, Wisconsin resident, Ben Rusch had spent the day catching up on projects around the house. That evening, Ben realized to his horror, his snug-fitting, white-gold and tantalum wedding band was not on his hand! His mind immediately went into overdrive as he retraced his activities through the day. One activity immediately came to mind. He had scrubbed and cleaned a cat-litter box, using the garden hose and Dawn soap in the process The litterbox event seemed a logical place to begin, this since it provided a logical cause for the ring to come off his slippery hand. Ben searched the lawn and shrubbery on both sides of the driveway. He even used a metal detector. But the ring’s hiding place eluded discovery. A few days later, he discovered the Ring Finders online directory of metal-detecting and ring-recovery specialists and reached out to me.
I arrived at Ben’s house later the next morning, this after recovering a lady’s wedding ring in a Wisconsin state park. Ben showed me the area where he had been working and I noted several thick bushes and Hosta plants in amongst a rock garden. The ring could be anywhere. I also noted three storm drains close by and pictured the ring disappearing down into one of those. Had the ring rolled into the street and been picked up by a pedestrian? These were troubling scenarios. 
Finding lost rings is a forensic process, one of elimination, of determining where the ring is not. And so, I began scanning the lawns on both sides of the driveway. After eliminating one side, I moved to the other using a newer high-frequency search coil, one that is particularly sensitive to white gold and tantalum. On my third pass, I heard a signal emitting from a shallow target and in the conductivity range of Ben’s ring. Parting the grass carefully, the missing ring appeared! Mystery solved! And Ben’s smile tells the rest of the rest of the story!
