Equinox 800 finds lost 14k wedding band

[RustyGold]

I really hadn’t got a chance to use my new EQ much as I’ve been doing some spring construction at the house.

So yesterday, I took it out to the backyard where the Gardner removed some bushes and plants in the garden/flower beds and tried the new Equinox out. After all of one minute, I got a repeatable signal and numbers and thought it might be a coin.

When I dug it up, it looked like an aluminum twist cap with a gold foil wrapped around it. On closer inspection I was floored with what I was holding in my hand. My gold wedding band that I lost over two years ago while in the garden. This last time was the third time it was lost (loose fit) and not being able to find it with the detectors I had then, I’d given up.

I never did replace that lost ring with a gold band but instead purchased a gold plated stainless steel one to wear while I saved up for a nice wedding band.

Finding that band goes a long way in offsetting the cost of the 800. Very Happy!

Let me ask...

Did you attempt to locate this ring prior ?... using your Dues ?

Which by your Avatar you state you also own.

<--------------- ?

 

[RustyGold]

Yes and I was having trouble getting the Deus and other detectors close to the ground with all the bushes. So the Deus could of found it as well. I’m sure of that.

Thanks everyone! I now know how awesome it feels to have a ring returned to you. So I thanked myself and gave myself permission to hunt my backyard anytime in the future

Thank you vferrari!
I need to roll off that couch a little more than I do. Lol!

Thank you Wayne. It sure feels good when the new detector (purchased from metaldetectingstuff) gets a good chunk of its value paid off within the first few minutes of actually using it.
