It’s nice to know that people care. When Lydia lost two very sentimental rings given to her by her sister, she told me that at least 10 individuals assisted her in trying to locate them. The rings were loose fitting and came off when she softly tossed a ball in the park, surely they shouldn’t have traveled far. At last, the search was called off and Lydia was focused on an alternative solution.
She set out to rent or buy a metal detector, but couldn’t find a local source for quick deployment. That’s when she stumbled upon my information in association with THERINGFINDERS. The following morning I received a text message asking if I had availability to come to Berkeley to locate a missing ring. I quickly called to let her know I could be available anytime after 3:30pm and would gladly come recover the ring. That’s when I learned it was actually 2 missing rings. She let me know that the search area would be small and she knew pretty well where she was when they came off. She would be right!
I arrived a bit after 4pm ready for a hunt. Lydia was waiting in the park along with her infant son, a young nephew, her mother, and a dog (or two). She showed me the area and even performed a sample toss of the ball. As I got underway, the first thing I noticed was that the park was noisy, that is, there was an abundance of metallic objects in the ground. Then, boom…a perfect gold signal! The problem was, the beautiful heavy gold earring that was recovered did not belong to Lydia (someone didn’t find THERINGFINDERS). A few minutes later, another really great signal! This time I knew without a doubt it was the first of two rings and the second would be close at hand. Meer moments later, I was handing both rings back to a very relieved and grateful owner. We had made the recovery!
Remembering what I said above, it’s nice to know that people care… As I collected my equipment ready to leave, an older gentleman walked up with an very vintage Bounty Hunter Coin Master detector. Lydia seemed to know him and he may have been in the park helping the day before. He commented about my Equinox and congratulated us on the recovery of the two rings. He then set off to explore the area with his machine. I assisted with a Garrett Pin-pointer and he produced a penny that we provided to Lydia’s nephew as “buried treasure.” I was glad to have met Lydia and to have played a roll in the story of these two sentimental rings.
