Calimesa Newlywed’s Platinum Ring Falls Off While Playing With Dog- FOUND!!
I received a frantic text message from Loni yesterday stating “My husband and I just got married last Saturday, October 11th, and he lost his platinum wedding band in our back yard on Monday. We’ve been searching endlessly with no luck. Is there any chance you’d be available and willing to help us?” I responded that sure, I would come out.
Upon arriving, I met Loni, and her husband, Jesse. Jesse told me they had been searching for a week trying to find the ring and they even bought a metal detector but didn’t really know how to use it, only finding nails and metal. Jesse said he was wearing a jacket with longer sleeves and took their dog outside to play. He pointed out two areas of the backyard where he was flapping his arms “like a chicken” and said he believed the ring came off there.
Standing by the first spot in the yard, I had him put the jacket on and I pulled out my test men’s band and handed it to him and told him to let it go as he was re-creating his “flapping” so that I could get an idea of where it might fly or fall to. Surprisingly, it fell almost straight down by his feet. So I started my search of the tall grass in a grid pattern, spreading my search pattern out as I wasn’t getting the signals I was looking for.
I went to the 2nd area and repeated my grid search, still with no luck. I was beginning to second guess myself. So I re-contacted Jesse and asked him to tell me what he was doing and where, right from the point of leaving the house. It turns out he had walked over to the unattached laundry room with the dog, which has a large tree and grassy area adjacent to it. But he said he wasn’t really playing with the dog then. He also added that they had been searching there too.
We walked over to the area and I started to search the grass. I had just swung the detector and saw a shining perfect thin circle in the grass. It was a ring. I picked it up and asked him if his ring looked like that? He got very excited saying that it did, and he hugged me and called out for Loni. Both were happy beyond belief! I was very happy that I could unite this newlywed with his wedding band, especially learning later the ring had been passed down.
Don’t waste your money on a metal detector you won’t know how to use and get yourself all frustrated. Call or text me right away!
