I'm new here and this is my first post. I started detecting years ago with an old mine detector and bought a White's 6000 in the 1990's which I still use. I got a call from a frantic woman that her mother lost her wedding ring and another ring in her garden and she wondered if I could find them. When I got there the old lady was crying as she had recently lost her husband of many years. I got set up and started swinging over a pile of tomato vines. I got a signal and dug through the trash and turned up the first ring. One to go--the wedding ring. A few more sweeps and I got another signal and found the last ring. The old lady wanted to pay me but I wouldn't accept it. Her tears of joy were plenty payment for me. The next day in the mail I had a letter from her daughter with a $20 gift certificate at the local gas station. The old lady died that year but she left this world with her rings on her fingers.
