:usaflag: An Interesting Silver Ring and Searching for a Lost Wedding Band!! :detecting:

Here's the silver ring I recovered yesterday AM after 3 hours of freeeeezing my tush in a dry-suit without enough insulation inside!.

It was only a few yards from where I found the silver band the previous AM.

It's interesting in that the continuous chain that wraps around the band rotates, something I have never seen before.

A call from a friend to recover neighbor's a wedding band was an interesting experience even if I wasn't able to find the ring for the 80+ year old gentleman.

He described it as a moderately sized platinum band and it fell off in the grass and leaves near his barn when he was putting away pool equipment for the winter.

He thought he felt it when it dropped off, but about an hours searching in a fairly small space convinced me that it was not there.

Once the leaves were gently blown away we could see the packed soil underneath with wispy grass growing out of it and a ring would have really been very visible.

I showed him how the Ace 250 responded to a nickle using the speaker so he would hear the signals and there wasn't one repeatable signal to be found except the nickle.

A couple of possibles prompted me to demonstrate the Pro-Pointer so he could see exactly where the signal was and that it was something buried in the soil, not on top of it.

He then realized that maybe he only thought it had dropped off where we were hunting and perhaps he would look around in the barn and house or better yet have his wife (who finds everything) look for it when she gets home.

He expressed gratitude that I would take the time to help him even though it hadn't panned out and asked if he could pay me for my efforts.

I explained how I had only recently started asking for a $20 fee to pay for batteries and he handed me a folded bill and with a smile told me this should buy a few.

All in all it was a pleasant experience and I felt as though the heart-felt handshake and thank you meant he thought so too.

As I drove away from the multi-million dollar estate, I glanced at the folded bill and was pleased to see a fifty!

Locating the ring is important and I have managed to find and return 38 as of this moment, but sometimes just making an earnest effort to find one is enough,

Good to hear from you Cupajo. Nice ring. i have also found a couple spinner rings in the past, but they are pretty rare. How cold is it that you froze in a dry suit where you live?
 
Thanks for your reply John!

It was in the low forties and a slight breeze was blowing from the north.

The suit is not insulated and Long Island Sound water is cold. (I'll have to test the temp when I go out next.)

I was comfortable this AM in my 3 mil neoprene waders with wicking thermals layered inside even though the air temp was colder than yesterday AM..

GL&HH Friend,

CJ
 
A post on another site called the ring a "worry ring" that the wearer is supposed to twist around instead of biting his or her nails etc!!

I've heard of prayer/worry beads, but this is my first worry ring!

Thanks for your reply Rick,
