Last week Feb 28th.

Home and bored I was browsing internet posting sights and ran across a posting
Stating “help lost ring in the snow" with a phone number.
With nothing going on I decided to call finding out the ring has not been found as of yet.

Volunteering my services, and after a quick 20 min or so drive.
Asked what kind of ring and I looking for, was told a white gold wedding band.
I pulled out my detector made the proper adjustments then started swinging away.
First hit was an old bottle cap - 2nd hit was pay dirt. Just under the snow and on top of the soil
There it was. Not bad for less than 5 mints looking.

Made the guy in the photo really happy and he threw a $20 my way for my travel time.
We talked a bit then parted ways. Turns out he had been looking for it for over 8 hours that day.
And I was the only one that responded to his post. Was a nice way to start out this years detecting season.

Great find. I am sure the person you found this for is gowing to put a Good word out for us Treasure hunters. WTG.
 
Bet his X girlfriend threw it at him, if he had been looking for it for eight hours. LOL.
 
You indeed made his day. Thanks for making us all look good! ;D
 
ahhh gave me the warm fuzzies

Great job! Poor guy, he probably didn't tell you the reason why he was out there for 8 hrs was cause his wife locked him out of the house.

Well done! 8)
 
I have also been approached to look for rings, keys and property markers while I have been hunting parks, etc.. Each time I accepted and made at least $15.00 - $30.00. Luck have it, they led me to close proximity and I found my targets within 15 minutes!
