# Metal detecting for a ring Tag | The Ring Finders

Lost Diamond Ring Found At Apartment Complex

  • from Santa Cruz (California, United States)

Yesterday I received a referral from Jes Muse, Ringfinder in San Francisco for a lost ring in Sunnyvale.  Rohit, who had lost the ring the night before, contacted me shortly after looking for some support in finding his fiance’s lost ring at their apartment complex.  He described a small area of grass and landscaped shrubbery where the ring was likely located.

When I arrived today, Rohit explained that they had lost the ring while playing a game right outside their apartment.  He described a situation of the ring being accidentally thrown and then hearing it bounce off of a wall.  However he and his fiance had looked for the ring for hours prior to my arrival.  Given the beautifully manicured lawns and landscaping of the apartments, I knew the ring would be easy to find with a metal detector if it was there, and I started my search right where Rohit said he thought the ring would be.

Sure enough, within about 10 minutes of searching, I detected a surface target right in the perfect « ring » range, and when I bent down to inspect it I saw a hint of gold peeking out from the blades of grass.

Rohit and his fiance were very excited that I found the ring as she has a flight back to her work scheduled this evening.  I’m glad they had the good reasoning to call in a metal detector to assist.
