Need advice - lost ring

[Chipd22]

Hello yesterday my ring fell off my finger into this part of my yard that is apparently a 70 years of roots and growth that is endless. I saw exactly where it fell but as you can see in the photos there's these holes created by cinder blocks that were stacked on top of each other... In these pictures I have already removed a lot of the top foliage which was tons of leaves and stuff so when the ring fell it just disappeared into this stuff
I'm just trying to see if I have the right equipment or if you have any advice for how I could nail down exactly where to find this ring at
I purchased a minelab vanquish 340, It's giving me some hits but they all seem to have the maximum for how far down I have to dig, I'm not really finding anything up top. so I'm just hoping maybe from looking at the terrain I'm dealing with you might recommend a different metal detector or something to help me pinpoint where this ring might be -
Fyi, it's an Oura ring which are aerospace grade titanium I guess which I looked up and it says it should be able to be found by metal detector
Thanks in advance for any assistance

Did you actually see your ring come off?
Couple of things ... it takes time to learn detecting. I think you have a good detector to find your ring and one that is not hard to learn how to use. Read the manual and learn to what the detector is telling you and what the settings are. It takes patience and digging. There are likely to be a lot of metal targets in the area you are looking. If the ring fell into one of the block holes, it will be deep.
Go over the brush you removed. Sometimes, the lost ring can be in the removed layers of leaves and brush. It can take a lot of digging targets you don't care about before digging the one you do care about.

I asked the first question because, when asked to help look for lost jewelry, in most cased when someone is "sure they lost it right here" after not finding it and expanding the search area will find it a long way from where they thought it was lost. In some cases, I have not found it and got a call days later that it was found in the car or in the house where it was set down when the person thought they had worn and lost the jewelry outside.
Good luck!

Do you own a pen pointer?
Try stomping the ground to eliminate possible rust signals. It won't affect the rings signature.
I would think the ring would have the highest signal among any others.
I'm convinced you will find it.

You definitely need a pin pointer.
Most detectors will only go a foot deep at best.
A pinpointer will allow you to detect as deep as your arm can reach.
I'm assuming that's an old footer.
Depending on the frost line in your area.
That could be 4-5 ft deep.
Id recommend a Garret carrot pinpointer.
Easy to adjust and near bullet proof.
If you can find a similar ring at a jewelry shop.
Ask to scan it with your machine.
Get an idea of the signal your looking for.
Good Luck.
Specs a Garrett.

Yes I saw it fall off that's what's so frustrating about how I can't find it, thanks for the info I'll keep at it if there isn't a better piece of equipment for this
