Ready for hire, Metal detector charged up always ready to go on a hire service. It was 11:30am on a cool winters morning, the phone rang I was talking to a good man ( names with-held privacy requested) that was telling me his tale of loss.
Magical Ring wanted to be found and reunited with its mate.
He was weekend gardening, spreading out a layer of sugar cane mulch on the garden for the spring time vegtables when he notice his wedding band was missing from his finger. It mischievously slipped off while working with the mulch and was hidden. They first searched by hand , then bought an inexpensive Chinese metal detector of unknown quality and used it with no success sadly. I think the message here is if your going to buy / hire get a good machine I recommend www.minersden.com.au if you want to DIY. I jumped into the car and meet with his wife at their house. She was clearly shaken and upset with the loss and recent unsuccessful search attempts. She showed me her matching wedding band they had specially crafted in Ireland. A beautiful pair of matching Celtic designed rings. I scanned her gold ring as good metal detectors can discriminate against all other metals and find only the matching gold signature of the target jewellery. So the metal detector hunt began. The lovely lady had no sooner sat down in a garden chair to watch my search progress ., two sweeps later with the E Trac detector and there was a perfect matching gold ring signal coming from under the mulch near a small tree trunk. Out with the pinpointer probe and the search was over in less than 2 minutes. From under the suger cane mulch emerged the matching wedding band mate. It was very clear I suggested to the surprised lady the magical Irish ring wanted to be found fast and returned to its mate with out delay. I am now wishing I took a photo of the two rings together as they where meant to be. I thank you very much for offering me an addiitonal reward on this job but in good conscience I couldn’t accept the money as the ring did all the work quickly.
