On September 24th I received a call at work from Bruce. He got my information from fellow “Ring Finder” Mike Baker as I was closer to Cornwall than him. After a 5 minute conversation I told Bruce I could help out that night around 6:00 after work but only had an hour of light left. I arrived at 6:00 that night and searched the lawn area where Bruce was working in the yard as that was the easiest part of the search. The tricky part of the search was where Bruce was trimming brush and then throwing it onto a pile and then into the woods.
I had no luck. I talked it over with him and said the woods are going to be tricky with all of the standing brush and not able to get good coil swings with it standing. I mentioned trimming the brush back from the lawn to improve the possibility of finding the ring and he said he was going to get it done. I reached out on the 1st of October to see if he was ready for to come back out and he was. After I got done with my responsibilities the morning of 10/3, I went back out to Cornwall and after about 15 minutes of a small grid search of the brush he had cleared I had it! Bruce was very impressed and pleased!
Glad to help Bruce and although I have located several lost rings this was officially my first as a “Ring Finder”!
