Lost And Found! Gold Horseshoe Shaped Diamond Studded Earring!


Recommended Posts


Now that is one for the books. 😀 Great story! 👍 Good on ya for jumping in. I'm still looking for a ring someone lost in a small field down the road, but it was lost a couple of years ago at a drunken party and memories are hazy. 😵 Glad she remembered where it got tossed.

Thanks! And speaking of tossed: Back in the 90's, I responded to a friends request to help a lady who had lost a large gold - diamond ring in the backyard of her residence. The grass was knee high and the lady's fiance/ soon to be husband, didn't want to cut the grass for fear of damaging/destroying the ring. Turns out that the lady had a fight with her fiance and had thrown the ring out of a window of the house! I didn't charge him anything for finding the ring and he happily gave me the sheet of plexiglass that he bought for me to flatten the grass with! Ain't Love Grand! :laugh:

Hmm, I've only been detecting for about a year and a half now. That is a useful idea. 👍 Really like that one. 🙂

I've been told that you can also detect through a sheet of plywood but I haven't personally tried it.

Great story and great outcome, glad there are people like you out there not taking advantage of people.

Good luck on your next hunt.

Ever seen (e.g. on TV) someone lie on a bed of nails?  That's what this reminds me of -- spreading out the force so as to minimize the effect of a single blade.  I doubt those sheets would help get your coil much closer to the intended target.  But a sheet of plexiglass (and now, lately, even a sheet of plywood) isn't of negligible value so you wound up with something for your effort.  Good public-service jesture on your part, too.  👍
