When It Rains It Pours……

….All of us from time to time have experienced tough times, unforeseen occurrences affect everyone. Newly married couple Cassidy and Chris are no exceptions. Recently their home had a major repair done, then their car’s transmission went out and a few other things. So, to get away from it all they decided to have a picnic in the park and somehow Cassidy’s ring went missing. Chris called me asking for help and we met on a Thursday afternoon. When they got to the park he parked 200 feet from me, and they walked over. I asked why you park way down there? He said the car stalled thinking the fuel gauge wasn’t working and may be out of gas. So, he went to get a gas can and Cassidy and I went to search with the metal detector. Chris’s area of search was way smaller than what Cassidy described. It would take longer to search the wider area. As I was just getting into the search, high winds came in on us bending the tree branches followed by a torrential rain and lightning. We ran back to my vehicle to take cover and get onto solid ground. We decided to come back Saturday morning to continue. On Friday I checked in with Cassidy on the plans and she was so upset about everything she just wanted to forget about the ring and move on. I didn’t respond and Saturday I went back to the park, systematically grid searched and found her stunning ring. It’s a large ring and it was sticking up high enough beneath the grass that a lawnmower would have hit it. I sent pics to them and said I think you should come to the park! Arriving shortly, they both were overwhelmed with emotion that I came back to find her ring. With their problems put behind them I mentioned to them the importance of not giving up on their memories the ring has given them and hold onto their goals and dreams and strive to reach them because things will eventually get better.

Lost White Gold Ring with Diamonds Found In The Snow In Allen Park Michigan

A Joyful New Years Day……

…..was had for the pictured couple who’s ring I found for them in the snow today. He presented the new ring to her for Christmas to celebrate their first year of marriage. She was taking the holiday trash out last night and the ring came off. Being nighttime, they weren’t sure where it was even tho the area where she was wasn’t very large. They had checked the can and bags prior to my arrival to no avail. They tore up the house searching everywhere. He went today and bought a toy type detector which only caused more frustration. When I got on site I noticed he raked and salted the area where they thought it was. The area was composed of gravel for the driveway, spruce needles, cones and the aforementioned salt, snow, ice. The scent of the spruce trees and the cones on the snow was peaceful to me, reminding me of being out in the woods hunting for relics. Firing up the MXT I gridded the area and got mixed metal signals, nothing close to where this ring material type usually shows up. There was also a car that could not be moved and a aluminum sided post for the porch overhang.
Reducing the sensitivity as much as possible to get close to the large metal objects helped but I still got an overload signal. Scanning slowly towards the post and moving around it I got a suspect +12 /+18 mixed with an overload signal right near the base of about a 5″ snow pile. Probing with the garrett carrot I got that good vibration that we all know what it means. Brushing the snow around revealed this gorgeous white gold ring with diamonds! They couldn’t believe that it had been in a total different area from where they thought. It made their New years day even better as they thought it could not be found…. and something wonderful to look back on as they grow older together.
