Still at it!

It’s been a while since I posted, so I figured I would at least let people know I’m still at it! I often get called from people asking if I’m still doing this, and I thought maybe it’s because my last post was from a few years ago.

It’s always interesting how the calls for lost rings come in waves. Lots of calls during beach season, then a slow period until leaf cleanup (!!), then again during snow shoveling season. Regardless of the case, I have the equipment and experience to help whatever the situation. Leave me a message and I’ll always get back to you. Usually with lots of questions:

• Where was the item lost (public or private area)
• If it’s not your property, do you have permission from the land owner to search the area?
• What is the size of the area? (pictures always help). This helps me estimate how much time we’ll need to try and locate the item. I don’t charge by the hour, but I won’t be comfortable coming out if I don’t think I have enough time to thoroughly search the whole area.
• What’s your availability?

I also get a lot of calls for rings lost indoors, inside vehicles, or even inside dumpsters! Unfortunately in those cases my eyes are as good as yours. Metal detectors are fairly useless in these situations, so you’re best off retracing your steps (which I can’t do!).

People also ask about fees up front. I don’t charge a fee to come out. I’m happy to help, but will gladly accept whatever you’re comfortable with whether the item is found or not. It all goes right into my daughter’s college fund!
