I am not much of a jewelry hunter, but I keep an ad on craigslist in the lost & found section. I got an email from someone who was trying to find an engagement ring that was thrown from the deck ??? . I didn't want to know, so I didn't ask. Well it took a few hours searching the large yard. I checked out a lot of questionable signals, but I knew immediately when I had it under the coil by the tone and the signagraph. The VDI on my DFX was steady at 10. needless to say they were both thrilled that I found it. It turns out that today is his birthday. I didn't want any money, but he insisted. He kept insisting, and I kept saying "no, it's your birthday". He wouldn't take no for an answer, and gave me $200!! Needless to say it made my day, too!

I've seen a few MD ads for lost and found around South Jersey over the years.
Cool that it worked out!
