I got a text from Taylor asking if I Wheeling, West Virginia was too far. I thought about it and said to myself if the circumstances are good for a recovery I would make the trip. We talked and his wife had taken off her rings while cutting the lawn and pulled something out of her pocket while mowing. When she had finished her engagement ring was still there but her wedding band was gone. Taylor said he had gotten a cheap metal detector and tried to find the ring to no avail. The only thing that worried me was that the ring was lost a few weeks earlier and they had obviously cut the grass a few times since then.

So in the end I saddled up for a long drive to West Virginia. Upon my arrival I met Taylor and got started. I went through the whole back yard and nothing. I did find an old foil drink top tucked way down in the thick grass. It was well hidden from sight and gave me some extra hope/confidence that the ring could be entwined deep in this lush lawn. On to the the front and now the fun began. For some reason the back yard was quiet as an empty church but the front was chirping like crazy. I started adjusting my frequency and sensitivity. I got a little relief but not much. I kept moving trying to listen for a good repeatable signal amidst all the other noise. Suddenly I got one…I put my pin pointer into the grass and it started screaming. I was looking but could not find anything, then suddenly I caught a glimpse of the ring deep within the grass. Score! I sent Taylor a text with a picture of the ring and walked back to my truck to start putting my equipment away.

Then Taylor and his wife Kate came out. They could not believe that I found the ring and were very happy. It was an absolute pleasure to meet them both, another pair of kind and generous clients, and of course it is always great when you are able to recover their lost ring!!

This latest recovery starts the way most of them do, I received a text from Troy stating he had lost his ring. He was at a city park playing with his kid when he went to bounce a ball and his ring flew off. When I talked to Troy he told me he heard it hit the cement and bounce. It was later in the day and I was going to be in the city the next afternoon. Troy was good with that but he went and got a metal detector so he could search himself in the meantime.

I arrived the next day and met Troy. He had been searching for the ring but to no avail. I told him I would do my best. Troy had a few things to do so he went back home. I started to search and being a city park as you can imagine it was very noisy with a lot of trash. I slowed down and tweaked my settings but nothing seemed to help. Eventually I went back to the car and switched to my smaller coil hoping the better discrimination might help. It had been more than a few hours of searching and I had kept expanding my search area. I was just about to give up when I got a hit and there it was. I am pretty sure I was over that same area with my big coil. Anyway, I felt great because I was about to toss in the towel.  I sent Troy a text that I found his ring. Then we spoke on the phone and he could not believe it. I made arrangements and we met and I returned Troy’s ring. He was very happy to have his wedding band back. As always it was great to meet another kind and generous client and be able to recover and return their lost ring.

I was contacted by Ryan’s wife that he had lost his wedding band at a ballfield. He had went out and tried to find it with a metal detector but was unable to do so. I could not head out immediately and then we got pushed back due to the ballfield being at a school. Finally we were able to meet up and Ryan showed me where he believed the ring was lost. I told Ryan it was a pretty standard search and he could do whatever while he was waiting for me to search. I had told him I brought a few different metal detectors and he asked if he could use one and search as well. Not my normal protocol but it was a large area and it could be done without the machines interfering with each other. I gave him a quick tutorial on how to use it. I only had one pin pointer and had kept it with me for the tall grass. I started at one end and Ryan started at the other. During the search we had a few false alarms where Ryan had a hit but upon further investigation it was not the ring. Then suddenly it was not a false alarm as Ryan hollered over with a big smile and his ring in his hand.

It was awesome that it was recovered and I told Ryan he might have a future as my wingman. He had sworn that he was over that area before with a detector. It is hard to tell as we all know this can be a game of inches but if he was it is also a testament to having the right equipment for the job. It was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client and have the twist of him using some of my equipment to find his ring!
