I received a text from Barry inquiring about my services. I asked him to give me a call and he told me he was working on a chicken coop when he took off his wedding band at subsequently lost it. As luck would have it I was able to head out that later that morning hopefully before it started baking outside as we have been having a brutal heatwave.

I pulled in and met Barry who showed me what I had to work with. On the drive down, I was thinking about all the interference I was going to have from the chicken wire and how to try and work around it. My hunch was right, there was a lot of wire in and around the ground and as luck would have it the sound it emitted was similar to that of platinum.

I began to work with a small coil and very low sensitivity in and around the coop with no luck. Barry started to help by clearing some of the weeds and vegetation to allow us to see better as my machine was going crazy from the wire. After a fairly thorough search and while Barry was working around the coop I started to work the yard around the coop and to the garage area. Nothing…there was only one other area that I needed to check and that was a small section of the front yard where he had been petting his dog. I explained to Barry that I would check all of those areas and then get out my Minelab Manticore with the 2D screen. I was hoping that maybe in the midst of all the wire I might get a dot on the screen. Well that was not needed – as I went out to the front yard and began my search I almost immediately got a pretty good sound and using my pin-pointer parted the grass and clover revealing lost wedding band.

Barry was excited and also surprised that I found it in the front yard. He was sure if I was going to find his ring that it would be in the back around the coop. Barry took off inside to tell his wife the good news. He soon emerged and we chatted for a while which is one of the most enjoyable parts of a successful search. As always it was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client and recover his special ring.
