Lost White Gold and Diamonds Ring Found in Bloomfield Hills Michigan
Tug of War…..
……So having missed the international tug of war day on Feb. 19th, Brendan and Sara’s dog Charlie decided on Father’s Day to get some practice in before the national tug of war day in August. Little does Charlie know that the tug of war day is for people…but he doesn’t care, he just wants to be included in any type of play and had been watching them go back and forth with the rope. Taking a break Sara grabbed a small tug rope and threw it out in the yard in random directions as Charlie fetched it. Back in the house she noticed her ring came off. Her and Brendan visually searched but to no avail. While Sara had to attend a work meeting, I met Brendan and started to search the yard, first the thick bushes where Sara thought it may be then the thicker grass. No luck, so I went out as far as I could and started to work inwards and after a few minutes got a good metal signal from the metal detector out near the property line roughly 35 feet from where Sara remembers being. Reaching down into the grass I pulled up her spectacular ring! Brendan came running to the location and was thrilled that it was found even tho so far away than thought. As Charlie approached with the look that Brendan and Sara were pretty evenly matched, I said Sara would probably make a great softball pitcher!

I was at a family picnic when I received a call from Anthony, stating that he had just lost his beautiful cross on the beach, somewhere in the area they were sitting. It was early afternoon and I told him I would be able to swing by soon, and to secure the area so nobody else came and setup their beach things in the exact same spot. Anthony assured me that was not a problem because they were there for the entire day, plus the fact he was very anxious to get his cross back where it belonged around his neck. We spoke about the events leading up to the mishap, that’s when he told me about the big creator he and his friends had dug that day in the sand where they were sitting. He said they had all been digging around looking for the cross for quite a while, but were positive it must be there somewhere, because he had spent the best part of the morning there, digging. It was then I asked them to please stop digging otherwise the cross may get buried to deep for my machine to pick it up. When I arrived I could see the creator from the dune walkover, and it was pretty big. Sure enough, it was close to 4′ deep, and roughly 6′ in circumference. I hopped in, scanned the entire bottom and the walls, without even a squeak of a sound from my metal detector. Next, I scanned the piles of sand they had pulled out of the hole with no luck either. I asked them to pull the piles down lower, to an average of no more than 10″ higher than the regular beach level. Once again, no luck anywhere, so only one more place to look was the bottom, after they pulled about 10″ of sand out. Now, with all the sand moving, I assured that the cross was positively NOT in, or anywhere around the crater. So, back to the drawing board, where he mentioned they were tossing a football on the tide line earlier, and that his friend did tackle him there. I told him I really wish he mentioned that earlier, as the tide had been rising very quickly. Once he showed me the area, the cross was in my scoop within 2 minutes. If Anthony told me that one detail of the day, my search would have started there, and all the sand moving could have been eliminated. Lost of detective work is needed to rescue items from their hiding places.
