Future hubby flings a $14k and $1K rings in the back yard last Thursday.
They find the $14k but not the other. He called me from PA where they are moving to.
Future bride is in shock beacause they had to leave the house in Michigan. Mother in law, pictured with ring, and I search the suspected area. We had lots of rain over the weekend and I told them it may have pushed it down in the ground. While she was on the phone with him I did a quick scan with my dowsing instrument. Nothing too hot n heavy, just wanted to get a lock line and intersect. Searched for about 15 min with the metal detector where the dowsing instrument indicated the general area and got a faint repeatable double beep with depth registering on the surface with very slow sweeps from all directions on the directional line of how they were thrown and in vicinity of where the main ring was found previously. A quick check with the pinpointer and moving the grass revealed the ring laying flat just sunk into the earths surface. Mother in law screams in excitement as I lifted it into the sunlight. Quite a little beauty and look at all those diamonds!
Everyone is happy and another great find!

So the guy threw two rings in the backyard, one was found by eyeballing it, and you think that downsing rods and 'intersects' led you to find the other with your metal detector? Lol...ok.

What detector are you using? Strange that a gold ring on the surface would give a faint signal. Cool ring, and nice job returning.

I know a few stories just amongst my own friends and relatives of people throwing rings in frustration. One girl tossed her ring out of a moving car on a highway. The couple never found it. I bet there are thousands of similar incidents that happen each year. Great recovery! :treasurechest::thumbsup:

Nice find, but everything I hear about dumb folks throwing their rings I wonder if they really deserve to get them back.
