Beach recovery two rings
Received a text from John regarding three rings lost on a beach one hour south of me. Definitely out of my area but another ringfinder who was unable to do the search recommended me .My first thoughts were of a storm off shore which were going to give the coast some big wave action and if these rings were above the wave line or not. I called John immediately and He said he was on the beach searching . I said I would be an hour . The area was above the usual tide /wave area and John had recovered one ring before I arrived. First sweep produced a great signal that proved to be the second ring. Fifth swing was another that was the third. Less than two minutes. John was surprised I think and very thankful. Here are pics of the rings . Bill
In February, I believe, a young man contacted me about a lost ring. He found my information on ringfinders. He lost the ring shoveling snow. I told him we would have to wait until snow melt this spring. Today I traveled the 80 miles to him. Once there I was worried that I was too soon. He lived in an apartment complex with lots of parking and parking lot. There were still snow piles of three feet or more. I thought I might as well do everything I could now and may have to come back later. The young man « Will » stayed with me the whole time moving trash and debris out of the way as I uncovered it. Will stated that his ring was large like two ounces of silver. I mentioned that was like eight quarters worth of silver and he said yes that big…. I took eight quarters and put then on the ground and the deus would overload passing over them, raising it showed a 98 on the screen. Two and a half hours into the hunt with 95 percent of the available ground covered ,I was planning my next trip. One more spot behind a dumpster. On my final pass I saw the round outline just as the coil passed over it . It overloaded . I scoped it into my hand and stopped ..I said that ‘s it I ‘m done. I knelt down and started shutting the machine down. I said « Know why I am stopping? » Will said « because your batteries are dead? » and I said « No because of this, » as I opened my hand. The surprise look is always great . It is a huge ring . Here are the pics . Bill
