Looking for advice finding a lost ring in a very thick 6'x15' bamboo forest

I bought my girlfriend a ring for her birthday a few months back and that same night, as she was showing it to someone on a balcony, she dropped it straight down into a very dense bamboo garden below. We searched with flashlights that night but it was dark, we were drunk, and the forest was too thick to enter more than a foot or two. It wasn't super expensive but the fact that she only got to wear it for a few hours makes me feel like we both were short-changed, plus Xmas is coming up and I could really kill two birds here. I looked into renting a metal detector but I think the coil would be too wide to get deep enough, so I was thinking maybe a wand style would work better. I don't know anything about metal detectors though, so any help is appreciated.
 

Maybe a stick with a magnet on the end.
 

Maybe use a Garrett Propointer. It's about the size of a small flashlight.
 

Not sure, but you may be able to run your detector with coil turned up, 90 degrees to the ground, that way you could work it between the shoots. Perhaps someone could chime in on this.

I recently hunted a bamboo forest next to some apartment balconies, you don't live in Arkansas by any chance?
 

I love finding lost items for people and I never charge. We have a ring to hunt earlier next year.
 

If you dont have a pinpointer,take the coil off of your detector shaft and hand hold it.The cable is usually long enough so you can get in a ways with it.
 

I'm thinking Napalm...
 

Ok so she dropped it straight down so you have an idea of where it is. It must be on the surface. Hack some bamboo to get in there with a detector.
 

What part of the world are you in OJ?
