Ring Lost While Sledding: Recovered by Rob Ellis, Fairfax, VA.
It was the first time Eugenio had seen snow. His wife and another couple decided to have some fun sledding on the Fairfax George Mason Campus. At some point, Eugenio noticed his platinum and gold wedding band was missing. He contacted me and the next day we set up a search. Eugenio got permission from the GMU police, and we met at the campus station. The short drive to the hill and walk to the sledding area seemed much longer because it was only 30 degrees Fahrenheit! I wanted to search for the ring before more sledders arrived and the ring was pushed deeper into the muck.
The hill had three sides the couples used for sledding. Metal detecting up and down the slopes was challenging, and the cold wind was brutal. I could sense Eugenio’s despair that we might not find his ring. Finally, at the base of the last search area, I heard a beautiful sounding target with my Equinox 900. I scrapped down a couple of inches to confirm and then called Eugenio over to pick up his beautiful ring.
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. I use state of the art equipment, and I have thousands of hours of experience searching on land and underwater. If you have tried using a detector without success, please text/call to see if I can help.
For my fellow detectorists: Target IDs of this 3.6-gram platinum plated, 14k gold ring: Deus 2=52 (jumpy), Equinox 800=9, Equinox 900=16.
I am an expert metal detectorist with the knowledge, skill, and experience to recover your lost items on land and underwater. Please text or call as soon as possible: (703) 598-1435
