I got a call today because a gentlemen lost his earring. I went out there, and he showed me the site that him and his friend were wrestling. It was a nice grass area. He had already found the earring back, just couldn't find the diamond stud which was laid in 14k gold. I was armed with my AT pro, with small DD coil and my Garrett Pro Pointer. I hit the area a bit and it was perfectly clean, unusually clean, a very nice clean area. So I asked him for his other earring (he had a matching set). It did not make my AT Pro go off. So I tried my Pro Pointer. Not a bleep. I checked some of his friends earrings just for good measure and both my AT Pro went off (around 65 or so) and my Pro pointer went off. I pulled a small piece of foil out of the ground about 3 in down. I demonstrated my equipment worked on coins, chains, small pieces of all different types of metal. The "back" to his earring which he did find, DID make the Pro pointer go off. But the post/setting/diamond stud did not. So I told him that it must contain no metal, and that I would assume its plastic. They were all in shock.......he gave me a payment for my time in coming out there to help, but I must say I have never seen an earring where the setting was not metal!
