Lost Gold Ring Found in Birmingham Michigan

Un-Gloved….

…It started out a busy day for Mrs. Teena, for she had lots of places to go and a ton of tasks to complete around the house and yard. It was now evening and while enjoying dinner she noticed her ring was missing. Mentally going over where she may have lost the ring, she concluded that the characters involved in the disappearance was classy car, brownie leaf bag and friends, bladed grass, steely sewer drain or lefty grip glove and his right-hand man. Approaching classy car it said « It wasn’t me! I carry around a lot of weight but none of it is gold so go check brownie leaf bags! », and on doing so, no metal was detected with my MXT detector. Brownie bags got offended and said, « Why didn’t you check the bladed grass before me? ». Bladed grass was so thin we could see that the ring was not there but mentioned that steely sewer can see everything from below and noticed Mrs. Teena taking lefty grip glove and right-hand man on and off while filling up brownie leaf bags! But prior to my arrival Mrs. Teena checked both gloves and found nothing. I asked where grippy gloves were hiding and she said they were concealed out of sight by the house. I said that’s the clue we were waiting for! Lifting up the gloves I proceeded to scan them with my detector and got a metal signal and reading that indicated GOLD! Mrs. Teena and husband were awe struck and said again that she checked the gloves. So, reaching into the finger slot I was able to wiggle out Mrs. Teena’s very thin gold ring that lefty grip glove was hiding! Both she and husband were thrilled that this winning move to recover the ring fit like a glove!

The Tale of Tulip and Dogwood……

…Began about 3 months ago and even tho you can combine tulip and dogwood and get a beautiful outcome, this particular arrangement was not so pretty. When Chris’ wife was working in the yard, their dog Tulip jumped up into the arms of his wife. As the dog was wiggling around his wife’s earring became dislodged and fell to the ground. For hours they searched with no luck. Now these earrings were an anniversary gift to his wife, who’s favorite flower happens to be dogwood. Being that this was her favorite pair she was devastated that one was lost. Chris even bought a toy type metal detector which added to the frustration, so when he came across me on the ringfinders they decided to give this one more try. I took a metal detector reading from the existing earring and began to grid search the area marked by a flag. A few small iron targets signaled thru and after a few minutes a solid signal number matching the earring was on the metal detector’s meter. I reached down and while spreading the grass open revealed his wife’s dogwood shaped earring!  A quick text had Chris and wife running to the scene. Seeing me standing there he said, « this can’t be good ». I said why? did you get the text? He said yea but he didn’t read it. I said this is a text you should have read! There’s gold on you land in the shape of a flower! Quickly his wife reached down and lifted the earring from the grass smiling and thrilled that it was found! Back into the house for some coffee, I met Tulip who was quickly forgiven and reunited with the dogwood. Now hopefully all can continue to blossom into a beautiful arrangement.

Yardcore Daddy

The warmer than usual weather this week in the Detroit area was drawing people out for one last property cleanup effort. One of those people was Barrett. Barrett considers his yard a sacred place….a personal retreat and takes great pride in keeping his yard in pristine condition. Eager to get out of the house he approached the task of removing the leaves from under the bushes. Once in motion, moving around the bushes positioned the leaves ready to rake into the large pile. Once completed, he noticed his ring slipped off. This afternoon I turned on my MXT metal detector and scanned under the bushes. Nothing was detected in the loose dirt. I double checked the area with my Garrett carrot pin-pointer with the same result. Resuming the search with the MXT around the bushes and moving towards the leaf pile I got a metal signal in the range of where his ring should be on the detector meter. Pinpointing revealed the metal item was shallow and poking the pin-pointer into the thick ivy revealed his shiny gold wedding band! As I handed it to him he was thrilled it was found and now he could continue bagging up the leaves without worry and while enjoying the upcoming holidays, can look out the window at his grand designs.
