Robb was out in his yard working when his neighbors dog came up to his fence. Robb went over to pet the puppy and when he reached over the chain link fence, his necklace caught onto it and broke. He had 3 pieces on the necklace with the most important by far being a 2020 memorial penny he had saved as a remembrance to his brother that passed away in 2020. He found the other 2 pieces right away, though after hours of searching he nor his wife could find the penny. Robb went to the local metal detecting shop and asked them for help. Years ago I had stopped into that very shop and told the owner about theringfinders.com and gave them my card if anyone was ever in need of assistance. He gave Robb my number and I told him I’d be out to his home the next morning. I could see the area where Robb & his wife had been searching and I figured the coin would be close to the metal fence. This creates a big issue as our metal detectors will pick up the fence and mask out the sound of the penny. I turned my sensitivity down to a very low setting and started swinging away. I got a couple decent hits though they were in the ground a couple inches, my third hit was loud and solid. The penny was only 5 inches from the fence, but my Minelab Manticore handled it like a champ.
So glad I could help you out Robb, I know how important this was to you.
Take Care –
