Default Lost Diamond Wedding Ring found and returned to couple today
I was contacted by Chris from my post on Craigslist where I post to offer my help in finding lost jewelry. I headed 40 miles north to their town and started searching the backyard where his wife lost it while picking up sticks and mowing last weekend. After 30 minutes of walking straight lines the Etrac gave me a 12-11 low tone on the surface. I moved the leaves with the coil and there it was. Unfortunately his wife was not home for the picture so Chris held it. The couple is very happy and gave me a nice reward for my time today. He said she'll be getting it sized to fit more properly.
