Platinum and diamond ring found in Elgin, Il.
Shortly after getting home from work (Monday) I received a phone call from Jennie inquiring if I still do ring searches. I assured her that I most definitely do, do ring searches. She told me the story about how over the weekend, on Saturday, she was at her sister’s house for a pool party in their new swimming pool. She said that she was getting ready to get into the pool to cool off since the temperatures were in the low 90’s that day! She took off a pair of shorts and layed them on the trampoline. She then, took her platinum and diamond engagement ring off, and put it in one of the pockets of the shorts for safe keeping. Later, when she got out of the pool and went to retrieve her shorts is when she noticed that her shorts had been moved from where she originally set them down. She immediately searched the pockets looking for her precious ring. To her horror, her ring was missing! She and her entire family immediately started searching for the missing ring. They tried everything from diving to the bottom of the pool with goggles on in search of it, to going out and buying a metal detector the next day and searching for it with that! Still without finding it. Running out of options and hope, Jennie grabbed her phone and searched « Ring Finder ». That’s when The Ring Finders .com popped up! Jennie then searched her local area and found me there. After reading some past return stories and reviews from my happy clients, is when she decided to call me. I told her that I could be there in a half hour or so, I just needed to gather my things and I’d be on my way. After arriving a short time later, Jennie and her sister met me outside. After a short introduction I grabbed my trusty Equinox 800 and Garrett pinpointer and followed Jennie to the backyard where the ring was last seen. Jennie gave me a description of the events that took place on Saturday there by the pool and trampoline. It was evident by the matted down grass that the family had searched the area a lot with no luck. The first thing was to move the big steel framed trampoline out of that area so that it wouldn’t interfere with the metal detector. I then started doing a small grid pattern in the area that they thought that the ring might be in. Nope, not there. I then decided to grid the entire area, it wasn’t very big. After my 4th pass of my grid pattern, up near the house, where the stairs lead down from the deck and meet the ground, and about 10 or 12 feet away from where they had been searching, I got a low, choppy, 6-7-8 on the detector. Like every other signal I grabbed my pinpointer and gave the grass a couple of passes in the area of the signal. That’s when I got a flash of something shiny hiding deep in the grass! There it was!! Jennie’s ring!!!
Success!!
Another smile for the book!
