Lost mens ring IN A TRUCK recovered in LAS VEGAS
Received a call to look for a men’s ring that he lost in his truck. He was certain that it was IN the truck. I explained to his wife that a metal detector doesn’t work in an automobile, but I could still come out with some equipment that might help. I arrived and did an initial search. There weren’t many areas that the ring could fall in. Her husband and I unloosened the front seats so I had better views of any openings. There were only 6 areas in the carpet that a ring could fall into. The vents under the two front seats, under the gas peddle, and several other random cuts. I used my special camera and first searched both front seats. Since they were removed, I was able to a very thorough search of each seat (nothing).
I then used my camera to search under the gas peddle and then within each opening under the carpet. First in the vents (nothing). Then I searched the under the carpet by the vents. (BINGO). Took close to 3 hours for the search but we found it.
Received a very upset caller about a lost earring at an orchard north of Las Vegas. She and her husband had searched for hours. Her husband even purchased a metal detector prior to calling me. I told her I will bring two detectors, and will set it up, so he can help find the earring. It was a special earring. It was given to her as her first Mothers Day gift. So there was a lot of emotion connected to it. She had called another ringfinder prior to calling me, and he was not very encouraging about finding it. So out of frustration, her husband purchased a detector and was going to look himself. She had fallen, and that was where they thought it might have been lost. It was rocky soil next to the entrance to the parking lot for the orchard. I took my XP Deus 1 with HF coil, Bumped it up to 74 kHz since it was small. Hit it in about 15 minutes. It was not visible since it had been covered up with dirt. Interesting that it didn’t come in loud or consistent in lower frequencies. 74 kHz was the killer. Couldn’t use the Goldfield program because of all the other signals. was able to notch out a lot of trash.
