Default lost wedding ring found!

Yesterday, my friend got a call from a co-worker saying he heard he did MDing as a hobby. He said his wife lost her wedding band while gardening and was VERY upset! He ask if he could possibly find it with his detector and my friend said he would try. Well he called me asking if I would be interested in helping and I said I would meet him at 9:00 and go with him. We were there for 20 minutes and found the ring. Man was the guy happy! He wanted to pay us and we said "Nope, that's not why we did it. We were just glad to help" This is the first time I was able to help someone find something and it made me feel really good. Here's a picture of the happy co-worker.
