Lost Wedding ring in Brookings, SD garden

About a week ago, I received a text from a young man, Andrew,  who’s wife had lost her wedding ring in their garden.  She had taken it off ,while working in the garden, and placed in on the console in her car.  This was a community garden and they had to drive to this spot to do their gardening.  While they were in the garden, their little boy, about age 4, had found the ring (unbeknownst to them), and had been carrying it around with him while he was waiting for his parents to be done gardening for the day.  They didn’t know that the ring was being moved around their space where there were other cars parked and other people out working in their gardens.  When they were leaving to go home, they found out that their son had been carrying it around.  They immediately started looking around and asking the boy where he had been walking with it.  They made some calls to borrow a metal detector and had a borrowed one, with not much luck.  They then texted me, and asked if I could help them out.  I set up a time to meet them at their garden spot.  Andrew had been looking for a few days with no results using a detector he didn’t really know how it worked.  He had found some metal, but, no sign of the wedding ring.  When I got there on the day I could start looking, he met me with a lot of frustration on his face.  I started getting my detector out of my car and got it ready to search.  I was parked away from the area that they said they had been looking, so I didn’t want to park on top of anywhere the ring could be.  He was ready to start pulling up all of his tomato cages, and other parts of his garden, just so I could get in and start swinging my detector.  I walked up to the area, near their garden spot, near their makeshift gate.  I started swinging around that area, and it wasn’t long before I got a number on my Garrett AT Pro, that was registering in the gold ring range.  I bent down and started fingering through the tall grass there, and there was the wedding ring that little bunch of grass.  He was so shocked that I found it so fast.  It took me about 5 minutes from when I got my detector ready to the time that I heard that signal.  Needless to say, he took pictures of me and him and the ring, and sent the pictures to his wife, who was at her workplace.  I was also surprised it didn’t take very long, and I’m so glad it turned out to be so easy.  I really enjoyed seeing the smiles, and another successful recovery.  This is a great hobby.  He even posted the pictures on his Facebook page, and gave me high praise on how good a job I did.  The more publicity, the better!
