Boom Boom Out Went The Lights!

Last Tuesday half of this nice lady’s engagement ring came off when the power went out, she had been doing laundry, dishes and was scrambling around the main floor of the house, and by time she was able to grab her cell phone for some light she noticed it was missing. After lighting some candles and regaining her composure, her and the fiancée started to look around some but to no avail. Add to this 2 cats and a really cool pit bull that likes to scoop things up off the floor. She thought maybe the ring came off in the bedroom closet as this was the last place she was before the lights went out. When I got there today, their thoughts were that the dog swallowed it. We had the other half of the ring so I got a read on that and scanned the dog and got a signal but they informed me that it was a microchip. So with no other signals on the dog I searched the yard area where he does his business and nothing showed up. Back into the house we went and I got out my dowsing rod and started to search in the bedroom. I treat all indoor searches like a crime scene and any signal from the dowsing rod gets investigated, meaning drawers getting dumped out, cabinets emptied, clothes pockets search, furniture moved, washers/dryers emptied, trash bags searched, whatever needs to get pilfered thru ect.
Just to be safe the fiancée took the dog to the vet for an x-ray which came back negative. Sweeping the dowsing rod I got some signals which produced other objects of value but not the ring. We went to the kitchen next and I swept the rod to cover the main floor and got a lock towards the living room, pointing towards one of the sofa’s…very strange she thought cus she didn’t remember being in there. When we got to the living room I saw a bowl of coins and thought maybe that’s what the dowsing rod reacted to even tho that’s not what I had in my mind during the dowse. We decided to search the cushions and behind the pillows, no luck until the sofa was moved and there this beautiful white gold and diamonds ring was just under the sofa on the wood floor! They were very happy and couldn’t believe they found it and how the ring got there. She vaguely remembers being in there and reaching down for a lighter, the ring must have come off then and she didn’t hear it hit the sofa/floor or one of the pets saw it and pushed it under the sofa. So, the ring found, lights back on, pets safe, happy couple, happy treasure hunter!

Sushi Gold!

This pretty, young lady was hosting a huge sushi lunch party yesterday and her engagement ring came off. When we talked she said she usually keeps her ring on her desk when using the ladies room and thought she had it on at the start of the luncheon. I suggested that before I get there that she and her co workers save all the trash bags that were used that day.
When I got on site today there were 4 bags of trash. I decided to start there. I didn’t want to sift thru all 4 bags and the MXT would have a problem working indoors, but I did have my Garrett carrot ready. So getting my dowsing rod out and sweeping the rod towards the bags revealed a lock on one of them. We played the shell game with the bags and the dowsing rod still favored the same one. So she went back to her office and I started to go thru the bag, removing metal drink containers and foil. I was contemplating dumping all the contents out onto another few bags on the floor but instead I held the bag up and scanned with the pin pointer and got a signal. Opening the bag back up I probed again and sifting around revealed her beautiful 18k rose gold ring at the bottom of the bag! I texted her a pic of the ring in the bag and while a few moments went by as I was cleaning up the mess I heard her feet running across the office and when she rounded the corner with her phone in hand smiling ear to ear with excitement she exclaimed you found it! I said yes look! I couldn’t let her reach down into the trash so I pulled it up and she could not believe that it was found! We went back into the kitchen area to clean the ring and eat some sushi, my first time having it!….
…..and I have to say that I not only love gold, but Sushi!

Platinum 911!

Just got back from a night search for this very nice, pictured couple. They were at the hospital tonight visiting an ill loved one and walking back to the car she pulled her gloves off and 2 pieces of her 3 piece ring came off in about 4″-5″ of snow that came down yesterday. They found the main piece and when I got on site they had been searching thru the snow with gloved hands and flashlights for the thinner ring. There was some lights but seeing was more enhanced by the big snow supermoon shining from above giving the glistening snow a sparkly surface. She had the matching ring so I took a read with the MXT from different directions and got +6 and +8. I started to scan and grid at 90 deg swings in the trajectory from where she was standing and where they found the other matching ring. She had gone to the car to double check if the ring was in there and him and I kept searching.
I got a few iron and foil signals and after a few minutes I got a +6 and +8 but very short signals. Probing the snow with the Garrett carrot revealed this beautiful thin platinum band tipped at a 45 deg angle just as she got into the car. I said I got it and he yelled to her and we waved our hands and arms in the air to get her attention. She excitedly ran back to us and happily grasped the ring and quickly put it back on! The temporary loss of the sentimental ring, the excitement of the search and quick recovery got our heart rates up really high but now 3 beating hearts are all back in the normal range again!
