On Thursday evening (December 21st, 2023), I received a text message from LeeAlice stating her husband, Jamie, had lost his platinum wedding band again and asked if I could help find it again. I said absolutely! This was actually my first repeat client. Jamie had lost his wedding band over a year ago near the water spigot at their old house in Homewood, Alabama. This time he lost it while laying mulch and bagging leaves at their new house in Hoover, AL. I scheduled Jamie’s ring search for the following afternoon. Coincidentally, I was heading to the Birmingham area in the morning for a different ring search, so this worked perfectly!
I met Jamie Friday afternoon after I finished up the first ring search in Irondale, AL. Unfortunately, that was a no find, but we’re praying that the ring turns up somewhere in their house. Jamie showed me everything that he was doing a few days prior. Raking and bagging leaves, and then laying/throwing down mulch in the flower beds. I felt like the throwing motion would be the most likely cause for his platinum wedding band to slip off, so I decided to start my search there. I got out my Minelab Equinox 900 and got to work.
I covered the mulch on the right side of the house, but only had two signals from the extension cord power supply for their Christmas lights. I then moved to the mulch on the left side of the house. I received a good signal in front of their two cats (Quail and Cotton) that were sitting on the porch. I took out my Garrett Pro-Pointer AT and scanned for the target. About 2-3 inches deep in the freshly laid mulch was Jamie’s platinum ring staring back up at me! I think that Quail and Cotton knew that dad’s ring was there the whole time lol 😊
Both LeeAlice and Jamie were in the house at the time, so I took a picture of Jamie’s ring laying on my hand with the cats in the backdrop. They both ran out of the house and were so relieved and excited that Jamie’s ring was found, again! We took some photos, chatted for a bit, and then I was back on the road to Huntsville. I praise God and thank Him for another successful ring recovery and safe trip to and from Birmingham.
I had another successful search for Amy’s (friend of LeeAlice) lost wedding band the following Wednesday, blog post coming shortly…
