I had the pleasure of meeting Charlotte yesterday. Charlotte was on her balcony hanging clothes out to dry, when her gold ring slipped off her finger and into the garden below. The ring was given to Charlotte by her mother, so she was keen to find it. After a quick drive out to Macquarie Park, I met with Charlotte and she described what had happened. The garden was quite dense with plants and bushes, but Charlotte mentioned she would rip them all out if it meant recovering the ring. I started with a quick visual inspection, to see if I could see the ring on the surface. I then grabbed the metal detector and scanned an area in the garden which lined up with the balcony above. As luck would have it, the very first signal I received was Charlotte’s gold ring. After spending 6 hours and not finding anything on my last job, this was a welcome relief
