Spent 3 hours at a local school looking for a friends list wedding band! The Cleansweep does what it's name implies!

Nice Fletch!

If you were coin shooting, would you prefer the cleansweep or would you grab the MX5?

Scanman, if I am at an area that is no older than the 70' like parks and sports complexes I would use the cleansweep hands down. If I'm hunting silver and relics around old homesites the MX-5 or MXT-Pro Would be my choices.

That seems like a nice 'broom' for sweeping up the goodies! Good luck with it!

Did she lose the chain too? Could be when the ring came off the chain it was lost in her clothes till it fell out somewhere.

Sandman, I am not really sure about the chain. I have the area within the jogging track left to search, but it has gotten so hot down here I have to get there at daylight to not burn up while detecting.

I would question her further if the rig was on the chain when she left the house, in the car, at the track. She might have just noticed it was missing an assumed she lost it at the track. Good Luck.:coffee2:
