Detecting in February, I can't believe it! I have some good friends down the road who got married last summer, and now have a baby on the way. Last night Amy called me and said her hubby Brad had been working on a car in the garage, washed his hands, and was shaking the water off as he exited the garage. Ting! The ring flew off, bounced off the garage wall and was gone into the snow.
I have never detected in snow before, and I have to say that even though it's fairly cold outside (-29C, -20F), the AT Pro and Propointer held up very well, despite the headphone cable being very stiff. Thankfully the snow in their backyard is only a foot or so deep, I dialled back the sensitivity thinking the ring shouldn't be too deep. Around the metal garage door I got so much chatter, especially from the door itself. I did sort of hear something good in the mix, but it was nearly pointless. SO I decided to just plunge into the snow with the pinpointer and bam, 4 inches deep there was his white gold wedding band.
My six yr old daughter came to assist me, and was happy to see the ring too. This is only my second gold ring ever, and my first ring return! Now I'm all jacked up to detect...April can't come soon enough!
I'm the bearded guy on the left btw.
