My Story "25 Years this Weekend"!
Published by Jim L. on 02/21/16
I do not have pictures but here we go.... I finally decided a year and a half ago to get my first
metal detector a White's Coin Master GT with automatic ground balance. Kellyco reps were fantastic
helping me choose one and answering my questions. I was getting to know my unit July fourth weekend
2014. My neighbor across the street I have known most of my life, I jokingly said to her " hey can I
come dig up your lawn" to which she replied actually yes I lost a ring you could try and find,
so I went over with my new detector, pointer, and spade in hand. She then dropped the bomb it was my original wedding ring I lost 25 years ago this very weekend! I was floored, I knew her husband he had passed very suddenly when I was a kid. I felt almost obligated in the back of my mind to not only find the ring but for her, I could see it meant a lot to her. After 20 minutes of receiving little hits here and there, I finally received a good repeatable hit and based on the numbers and chart it was in the range of small gold item. I knew my coin master was leading me to my goal. After digging down 6-8 inches I switched to my pointer, all the while my neighbor saying I don't think it could be buried that far down, I kept going till I heard that faint alert sound, I grabbed a handful of dirt from the area, brushed the debris away and held the small gold band saying was this it? She and my family were amazed!! I felt a great sense of happiness not just for successfully finding something, but for my neighbor to be reunited with something so important, 25 years later that weekend!!!!!!
Simply Amazed! Now since moving to a different state with completely different soil types,
if I could could just get it to work for me as good here I'd be happier.
