I received a phone call from David this morning. He had this misfortune of losing his wedding ring for the second time. First time he recovered the ring himself, but this time he was having no luck. He was 95% sure he lost the ring in his back yard while pushing his kids on a swing. But he did not actually feel the moment the ring fell off his finger. I drove out to Roseville, just north of Chatswood on Sydney’s Upper North Shore. David was at work at the time, but his wife showed me the area the ring could have fallen. There was a lot of thick grass where David’s wedding ring could have been hiding.  I began my usual grid pattern in the area David was pushing the swing. I then worked my way down to a wire fence. I was receiving lots of signals, but non of them was the ring. I decided to start searching the other side of the swing and work my way up towards the house. It wasn’t long after that I received a nice smooth sound from my detector. I checked the depth on the display..and it indicated 0.5 inchs deep. I thought cool, this could be Davids wedding ring. I lifted a large leaf which was covering the signal area…and there it was, David’s gold wedding band. It had fallen into an indentation in the grass. The photo attached is in the exact spot I found the ring. David’s wife was very pleased the ring was back in their possession
