Not a big deal and no pictures, but a win for MDer's in my opinion ...
My Sister calls me on Friday and says her Husband's brother lost his wedding ring in a corn field on Friday. He was cleaning out a plugged combine head and throwing the husk/weeds, and realized his ring was gone. They searched for a while, and gave up, and flagged the area where he thought it went. She asked to borrow the detectors, and came Saturday to get them. I had taken her once before for about 2 hours - she used my old Ace 250 and would just mark a target with a stick, and then I would come over with the EXII and tell her what I thought it was, then dig it. She marked one that sounded really good ... out came an Indian Head, and then re-checked the hole - and out came another Indian Head.
So this time I took her in to the my back yard and dropped my wedding ring down and had her listen to the tone and how strong it sounded laying on top of the ground. Then took her to the buried coins I put out there to have her listen to the different tone and weaker sound. Off she went.
She called me about 3 hours later. She had searched the area they flagged as where he thought it went, with no success. Shortly after trying in the opposite direction of where he thought it went - bingo - found it. Nice to provide a bunch of non-detectorists with a positive detector experience ...
