James contacted me and told me that his wife had lost her ring in the front yard. It was yellow gold with a solitaire. He said it had been lost for around two months and they had rented a metal detector with no luck. When I got there I asked all of the usual questions that I always do. She said they had been arguing and she threw the ring across the front yard, and where she had been standing. This is always a great help, because it gives me a better idea where to look. I started my grid search in the likely area, and had made two passes across the yard. About one forth of the way back across the yard on the third pass, I got a solid 19 on my Manticore. It was the ring, but after two months it was already completely covered and not visible. The actual search time was less that fifteen minutes.
