Well i went to this one park i didn't believe anything is left.Bad ground electrical interference iron junk in ground.SO i go slow and pick a 59 penny move on and get a dime signal 5" down dig though rock and gravel and sand pull that ring out iam floored.These are not important to anyone but me,you have to know the area.So penny was dirty i start to clean to show date still dirty so i get a sponge sand pad and start to rub coin on it and it flies out of my hand into garbage disposal.My wife is in the room so i did not want to say anything now iam trying to dig it out with my hand so i go get a flashlight and still cant see it but i feel it it slip down in between and jam the disposal up so i have to ask my wife to call her brother and ask how to remove it.He is making fun of me because he knows i metal detect and knew what happen.So instead of taking whole thing off i managed to put a screw driver in the side and unjam it so it now sits in the drain.do not try this at home iam a professional.

Sometimes garbage disposals and detectors do not get along. A couple years ago we were living in an apartment. I had some coins to tumble, and put aquarium gravel in with them.

After tumbling, I took the barrel to the sink, put a paper towel over the drain, and dumped coins, gravel and suds in. We must have got the bargain brand paper towel, because some gravel leaked down into the disposal.

I had to call the landlord over, and he got it unclogged. "Do you have an aquarium?" he asked.

"No, sir. I don't know how that stuff got there. Maybe the last people had fish?"

There was another time I was cleaning a ring, and before I could tell if it was silver or junk, it got lost in the trap. I got that one out myself. Of course, it turned out to be a junker!
 
Glad to know we're not the only ones that loose coins. You've got to watch out for those floor registers also.
