We got a call from a gentleman who was mixing concrete for a row of 2 X 2 Steps. He was making about 20 steps for a customers’ walkway. In the process, due to some recent weight loss, his treasured ring which his Grandfather had worn his entire life and then passed on to our him disappeared. Short story, he had the ring on, made 20 concrete steps and 2 hours later when finished the ring was gone.
He was pretty sure it was in the 3rd step as a bag of quikCrete had burst open and he had scooped concrete with his hands. Upon arrival with our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors we began scanning each step. Few normal beeps and noises until I reached the 1st step. It was not a normal Gold Signal but it was extremely strong. I told the customer, I’m not sure it’s your ring but there’s definitely something there.
He said OK and picked up the 2X2 step and threw it on the ground breaking it into pieces, then he yelled “There it Is”. He did a little dance in the yard, gave us a big hug and told us we made his year.
This hobby/business is so much fun…
