Lost Wedding Ring Found! – Franksville, Wisconsin
A memorable bird hunt with his father and Dutton, a gorgeous Golden Retriever, ended on a sad note when Franksville, Wisconsin resident, Joe Rampulla lost his wedding ring.
It happened later in the day while removing burs that had become entangled in Dutton’s thick coat. As he flicked the burs from his hand the yellow-gold and tantalum wedding band flew off, vanishing somewhere behind his parent’s home. Despite searching for hours and even using a metal detector, the ring could not be found.
Joe located me on theringfinders.com directory of metal detecting specialists. I made arrangements to meet him the following day.
Spreading junipers, garden foliage and landscape stones in the area made the search challenging. Additionally, my detector came alive with signals and with spurious electromagnetic interference. Buried electrical wiring and an invisible dog fence close by were the cause.
After changing frequencies and making other adjustments on my detector, the ‘noise’ settled down in my headset. I carefully probed the bushes and flowers using a pin-pointing instrument, but Joe’s ring was nowhere in the area. It was when I expanded the search location that I heard a promising signal further away in the lawn. Parting the blades of grass revealed an unmistakable rim of gold. And the smile on Joe’s face tells the rest of the story! 
Joe, I’m so glad we were able to get your ring back on your hand!
