🏆 HONORABLE MENTION Ring recovery

[dts52]

I got the opportunity to help a fellow who lost his tungsten ring while covering his chicken coop. In addition to the coop itself, there was a lot of buried chicken wire intended to keep the predators away. I knew that MDing, especially considering my skill level, would be difficult if not impossible. I decided to do an eyeball search before breaking out the machine, hoping that my experience of looking for NA artifacts would be helpful. On my second or third pass around the perimeter of the coop I spotted the missing ring. It was partially buried under the leaves. The photo was taken after I had picked it up. Quite honestly, I was too surprised to take an in situ photo. The first shows the coop and the second is the ring (obviously). I’m very pleased to have helped out.

Thank you… and I didn’t even use my detector (which is probably a good thing).

Congrats on the eyeball recovery-certainly the past experience in looking for points helped.
It's pretty useless using the detector around the coop areas, my first choice would have been a pinpointer.
I tip my hat for a HM as well.

Definitely an Honorable Mention worthy act on your part Bear.
Congrats on being able to 'eyeball' the ring, your detector would've likely been useless here with all the buried wire.

Thank you. I never gave the pinpointer a thought. That’s a great suggestion. My idea was to back off the sensitivity and hope that the ring’s signal was strong enough to come through. If I wasn’t so lazy, I could have experimented with the machine.

Thank you. I agree. Conditions were much worse than I thought after speaking with the owner. I don’t think that the MD would have been of any use.
