Lost Gold Ring Found in Utica Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Down the Rabbit Hole…..

…… began with Joe’s new yard project. The gravel he ordered after he tore up some grass didn’t show up and throughout the day tools went missing and machinery malfunctioned. To escalate matters his wedding ring fell off his finger and he didn’t know where in the yard it was. I did a grid search with my MXT metal detector where he said he was working but nothing came up. Going out further from the house I got a good signal in the wet grass and as I moved around it my foot slipped into a slight dip in the ground almost twisting my ankle. Reaching into the dip in the ground my pin pointer metal detector went off. Parting the grass back revealed Joe’s ring! His back was turned to me but as I yelled to him, he came running over and said that he had filled the rabbit hole in a while ago after the bunny’s left and said it must have settled leaving a small divot. Super Happy to be Out of the Rabbit Hole, Joe took a nice long look at his ring realizing that even tho this journey down the rabbit hole was over, he now had a deeper understanding of what’s important and that the rabbit hole is only as deep as you make it!

Lost Sprinkler Valve Box Found In Rochester Hills Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

The Grass Is Greener…..

……Where You Water It!  That’s exactly how Ollie felt when he turned on his sprinkler system and discovered it was not working. He called me and mentioned I had previously located his property pins 2 yrs. ago and inquired about locating the valve boxes for his sprinkler system. I said sure no problem. He said tree roots and cable tv lines were in proximity and he didn’t want to start trying to find the boxes himself. On site I chose my Tesoro Sidewinder with it’s all-metal mode for searching. Scanning the ground I located the cable tv lines, then scanning a bit further the all-metal threshold sound increased on the metal detector as I traced the size of the metal valves/piping which matched roughly to the shape of the valve box. Scraping a few inches of mulch, dirt and small roots revealed the green cover of the valve box. Moving a bit away I found the second valve box. He was thrilled now that he could make the repairs to the system and excited that his grass will always be greener on his side of the fence.
