I recently joined TheRingFinders.com and today I got my first email from someone in my town stating they'd lost a wedding ring while doing yard work and they asked if I'd come help find it. I told them I'd be right over after Church and looking at the 6000 square feet area that the ring might have been lost in I asked him to walk me through what he was doing and where. This gave me a search area to start my grid. I started where I thought it was most likely that the ring had come off, where he was pulling and throwing weeds.
I had to use my old prizm2 from Whites because my DFX-300 is not back from the repair shop (though it is now in the mail back to me). The Prizm2 is awesome but it does not tell depth so you have to visibly look and physically run your hand through the grass at each beep since I likely wont have to actually dig for such a recently lost item but I don't know if the beep is on the surface or 12 inches down.
Well I got lucky I suppose because at the third beep there it was! A little grass moved and the lost became found! I tell you the smiles of the husband and wife are priceless. They gave me a 20 dollar reward for the find as well.

I really love metal detecting!

I love stories that have a happy ending.
