Lost Sterling Silver Ring Found in Lake Orion Michigan

Green With Laughter…

Got a text from Jerry asking if I could find a lost ring in some ivy, I asked is it poison ivy? He quickly said no just regular ivy. Seems that his wife Terri was throwing yard debris down the embankment next to a huge patch of ivy and her ring came off. The ring is 20 years old and has been with the couple as they have clung to each other, climbed to success together and regrown over time, similar to ivy. I set up my MXT metal detector and starter to scan a grid pattern and got a few pieces of foil. Nearing mid-slope, I got a nice signal in the range where silver would be identified of the metal detector meter. Reaching thru some ivy I separated a few leaves and saw Terri’s ring sitting on a deep green ivy leaf. Lifting it up Jerry saw it and started moving quickly towards me almost falling headfirst down the embankment. Regaining his footing, Terri walked out onto the deck to see what all the excitement was about and couldn’t believe her ring was found! Jerry rushed over to place it on her finger and as she started jumping up and down Jerry said thank Jonathan not me! Now with all smiles on deck Jerry and Terri can return to the “ivy league” of their own!

Bongo Daddy

The pictured man and his son were enjoying some time together in the cool air today at a school playground.

Many things were available to play on and reminded the dad of his childhood playground. As he looked past the swings, slide, and merry-go-round…. peering deeper thru the monkey bars, something caught his eye….Bongos!

As the son was occupied, dad zoomed over to the bongos and placed his hands on them. Slowly his fingers of each hand began to tap out a melody. As the tempo increased his hands started to lay down a beat that would make Ricky Ricardo blush. Totally mesmerized in the moment as the song reached a crescendo a few final thumps concluded his solo jam session. Stepping back he was satisfied that he didn’t miss a beat but suddenly realized that what was missing was his ring! When I arrived he had no idea which way it flew. I set up my MXT and started a grid search in the trajectory which I thought made sense. Scanning over the wood chips it was nice for a change not to find junk items. After about 5 minutes and 10 feet away from the bongos I got a clear signal that said good metal! Reaching down thru the wood chips revealed his beautiful yellow/white gold ring! As he reached down to pick it up he called his son over who gave two thumbs up on the find and said maybe we should wait on the bongo lessons for you Dad!
