Lost Gold Ring Found in Troy Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Hoppy Endings….

While Jim was setting up the Easter egg hunt for the grandchildren yesterday his gold ring came off. Although often told he is too old to participate, I told him he was never too old to search for gold. The plan was hatched to meet this morning before the festivities began. Waiting a few to let a brief rainfall pass we wondered where the ring egg-scaped to, I mentioned that the ring had way more karats than the easter bunny but then what would a rabbit do with a gold ring? Laughing, I hopped into a grid search in the suspected area. Near some longer grass a good signal came thru my headphones from the metal detector. Reaching down with my Garrett carrot pin pointer it signaled, revealing Jim’s gold ring! Handing it to him I said… Well, this Easter turned out to be all it’s cracked up to be….. and somebunny needs some chocolate!

Lost Silver Ring Found In The Sand in Troy Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Rainout

The pictured young man and his friends were having a volleyball game late Saturday afternoon. During the game it started raining, not a light rain but torrential downpour that fell upon the metro Detroit area into early Sunday morning. Running for cover his ring came off.
The ring was a special gift from his mom. Using a metal detector to find it yielded no results. When we talked this morning I suggested we meet asap before anything else unforeseen comes upon us. When I got to the playing field it was flooded with at least 6″ of water in some spots.
On went the boots. Searching with my MXT I was looking for a high meter signal based on the composition he said the ring was. The sand was clean no trash signals but lots of small iron signals much deeper than the ring should be. I set the disc. for nickel which quieted the detector down and kept gridding the volleyball court. After a few minutes I got a mid meter signal with a depth of 6″ from the top of a water pocket. Probing down into the water and thru the sand with the pin pointer caused it to buzz. Reaching down and pulling the item to the surface against the pin pointer revealed this gorgeous silver alloy ring with a sparkly emerald setting! I signaled for him to come over and without removing his shoes he ran to where I was. Reaching down into the sand he lifted it to the sky in a scoring manner, totally thrilled that the event was not a total washout. We chatted a bit, took a few pics and as the rain came down again we headed for our cars.
