Betcha Havn't Found One Of These In Your Couch!

[teleprospector]

This pictured couple lost one of the 3 white gold rings from the wife's wedding set yesterday. I was able to meet them today and since the metal detector doesn't work well in house searches, I turned to my dowsing techniques to help. I use dowsing almost on every search in some form or fashion just to get a feel for the situation and if I need to incorporate it to make the find. She set the rings on the arm of the couch and he sat down and 2 went flying, they found the 2 but the 3rd went into the floor air duct, so they thought. I asked about any children and pets that may have moved off with the ring and they said no the baby daughter was in bed when it happened. I felt around the upper part of the arm and discovered 2 small holes in the material that led down into the hollow part of the arm, that convinced me that the ring could have worked it's way downward. I made a sweep with the dowsing rod from 2 directions focusing on the ring and it locked on the couch arm, so we rotated the couch front and back and heard something rolling around on the inside wood portions of the arm.
We had to remove the staples and material from the arm to get a better look and when we opened it up we first got a small toy magnet, discouraged, I insisted that the ring was there. We cut open more space to get our hands in further and shining the flashlight into the opening I saw the diamonds shining back at me! The ring was wedged into the corner bottom of the arm! We all laughed and said now they can tell people they found gold and diamonds in their couch cushions! lol

Congrats on another Honorable Mention! As kids, we used to find coins down inside furniture. We even did it when my parents were visiting relatives without them seeing us. Then one of my brothers started seeding chairs with washers and that ruined it!

Thank you SD51! lol that's funny, I used to switch the $ on the task corkboard my parents set up for us. I'd wait till they set it up and move the $5 and $10 off the cleaning toilet and cat box and put the $2-$5 on them. Then I would complete the less rotten tasks with more $ and listen to my sisters complain to parents that those yukky jobs should have more pay, lol

Well done on the recovery of the ring.

You were from the upper crust of the chore pay scale. Getting that much money for doing a cleaning chore would be a dream job growing up. Geez sign me up for it if somebody wants to pay me $5/10 to clean the litter box.
I'm going to show the wife the pay scale for cleaning the box up, I think I'm in for a new HF coil in back wages. Lol
