Hey Melnatcat.....".How to find that diamond earing"
If you lost your earing outside the house you CAN find it with SOME TROUBLE.....
.Five years ago my niece called to ask if I could find her Engagement ring....................."..Sure I'll give it a try."................I was a little excited at the prospect of finding a gold ring and off I went.....
.They lived in a trailer ct. ,and the yard where she said it was lost ,,,,,,was small.........About 15 X25 feet............I concentrated on three feet either side of their walk (Here we go again with the sidewalk thing). I had my depth setting down below 2/3 capacity,so to not detect the deeper stuff .. She had lost it only about 2 weeks before... .I hunted up and back TWICE in Beach mode on my Old Garrett CX III Master Hunter Low and SLOOOW...........Didn't find it (Scratching my head......) .
Then I asked if she had anything gold in similar size ,another ring perhaps ? She dug around in her purse and said .......".....Sure......................Here is the matching Wedding Band !...".....................Duhhhhhhhh............
It was a small thin (not so expensive one) so I ran it under the coil ....It came up as a Notch # 2 1/2 to #3....Thats why I couldn't find it.....In beach mode it discriminates out all under Notch #4.................So I Notched out Everything except #2,#2 1/2,#3,and #3 1/2..............I turned the sensitivity ALL THE WAY DOWN .......and started again......Low ....& Slooow........my first 5 feet or so I found a couple foil wrappers and then I heard my first gold signal that double beep told me it was possibly a ring so I bent down to recover it with my little spade,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and there it was ,,,,,you could only see it when you were on your knees looking close up.......No digging required,,I picked it up and gave it to my excited niece...........She gave me a big hug and started to cry,,,I said .....It's alright We found it,,,,it's OK
I felt like saying ( Tell your $#@ Cheapo husband to get you a bigger rock and ring but I didn't)
If I have to hunt for any item for someone I ask myself,...How Long has it been lost ? if only a couple months its pretty easy...and I will discriminate everything out but what an identical item registers + or - ...................I have been saying I have not found my first Gold Ring and I have to stand by that ................When I DO find a Gold ring that I CAN KEEP............I will GLADLY take pics and post them here.......I just hope it will be a womens ring (Don't get excited Free)..........A nice expensive ring that can be fitted to my wifes hand....Unlike the one I FOUND>> for my niece
