Ring Lost Raking Leaves, Recovered by Rob Ellis, Fredericksburg, VA.
Max texted me to help find his lost gold wedding band lost while raking leaves somewhere in his yard. Max was very interested in my metal detector, so I loaned him my spare. Most of his yard work took place in a specific area and that’s where we started the search. After about 20 minutes, I realized I needed to set up a grid for the entire yard. I set up my rope along the property line and I found the ring after only two passes!
In the open, and nobody saw it!
As you can see in the photo, the ring was barely covered by a leaf, sitting on some moss. I called Max over and pointed to the spot. When Max picked up his ring, his reaction was one of the most genuine, joyful displays of happiness I’ve witnessed finding rings.
Max’s Ring
Max immediately shared his find with his wife. On his return, Max told me how he and his wife had only been married for a short time. I do love this hobby!

Don’t give up. Many of my clients have bought, borrowed, or rented a metal detector before calling me. Just because someone has a tool, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it.
