Ring Lost Doing Yard Work: Recovered by Rob Ellis, Fairfax, VA.
Kathy contacted me to help locate her one-of-a-kind wedding band. She lost it in her backyard over a month ago while doing yardwork. This work included covering her rose bushes for the winter. I gathered my rake, grid search lines, heavy gloves, detectors, and headed to her home.
The yard consisted of the area where Kathy cut the covering material for the rose bushes and a lower terrace containing the 10 rose bushes. Kathy showed me how she’d moved about the yard, trimming the bushes, cutting the covering material and pointing out other areas of the yard in which she worked. She took me to the place she transitioned from the lower terrace, climbing a 4-foot wall to the flat area where she cut the winter cover material. It took some time to gather the information, but it really paid off when I began to search.
I started at the spot where Kathy had climbed the wall. I turned on and calibrated my detector, swung it over the grass, and heard a clear gold tone. I found Kathy’s beautiful ring as I completed my first swing of the machine!! This isn’t the first time I’ve found a ring right away. I give credit to luck and Kathy’s excellent description of her movements throughout her yard.
For my fellow detectorists:
