What is that Brittney Spears song? Oops I Did It Again<\/p>\n

My wife\u00a0received a message from a friend who has been reading some of my recovery stories. Apparently her mom, who passed away late last year, lost a gold ring about this time last year. Her mom insisted that it was lost near the driveway at her house. She asked if I could look for it.<\/p>\n

I am always up for a new search. I had some time to spare this week so I got the address for her dad’s house and packed my truck with 3 detectors and assorted other necessities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I arrived at the house and it looked like no one was home. I started to search the very thick Zoysia grass. I was thinking to myself that there is no way a ring could penetrate this carpet, it would just sit on top.<\/p>\n

I searched the area and received 2 possible targets. I moved the grass around to see if the ring was under the grass. Nope I marked them both so check after I finished the area, because it would take a little work to look in the ground with the thick root system of the Zoysia.<\/p>\n

After finishing the search of the area I went to the fist mark. Carefully with out destroying the grass I was able to probe and pop out a nickle. I was about 2 inches down in the dirt. After the recovery I fixed the ground & no one will ever know that the ground was disturbed.<\/p>\n

I went to the 2nd target that I market. I was probing the area with a 10 inch flat head Craftsman screw driver that I use a a probe. After a few tries I hit something that wasn’t a root. I tried to pop the target out of the ground, no luck. I then dug a very small hole in the dirt. I see the sparkle of GOLD. I was the ring, but it was intertwined in thick roots of the Zoysia. With in a minute I had the ring in my possession. I was amazed at how deep the ring was in the dirt after only being there about 1 year.<\/p>\n

I fixed the ground and you can’t tell that anyone was there. I took the ring home, and cleaned it up. I took a few pictures and then sent a text with just the picture to Denise. I got a message back saying “OMG!I Love u!!! Ur making me cry!!!”<\/p>\n

The whole searching of the area and the recovery of the ring only took about 10 minutes. It took longer to pack my truck…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A post from Denise:<\/p>\n

If you don’t believe in miracles then read this!!! I appreciate
\nDave finding it more than he’ll ever know. It’s an only child ring – my stone is in the middle and my parents’ stone on either side then my mom added each of the boys’ stones. I want her to be buried with it but I guess she wanted me to have it.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
