Many of you know that I have pulled off some epic April Fool\u2019s Pranks on my birthday. This is not one of them, this is a true story!<\/p>\n

Joe contacted me 2 weeks ago. He thinks he lost his ring in his yard while raking leaves in the fall. He said that this isn\u2019t the 1st<\/sup> time he has lost his ring. It is the 5th<\/sup> time and I found it for him several years ago. That time he also lost it while doing yard work.<\/p>\n

He said he would be home on Friday & I had some free time, so I headed over. The last time I found it within 10 minutes. I noticed that the yard has changed. The back yard has a metal fence, not good. Plus, there is a large garden in the middle of the yard that also has a metal fence around it.<\/p>\n

Joe stated that he bought a $150 metal detector. He has been trying to look for it, but the machine is always beeping. So he thought it was time to reach out again.<\/p>\n

Joe showed me what he was doing that fateful day. I started searching in the areas that he thought that he lost it. All of those spots were near the fences. I brought multiple machines and lowered the sensitivity really low, but the fences are just to overpowering to my metal detectors.<\/p>\n

I moved to other areas of the yard. I searched out front where he said he piled the leaves for the township. I was hoping that the leaf machine didn\u2019t get his platinum wedding band. After 2.5 hours of searching I had to leave, I had another appointment.<\/p>\n

Our schedules wouldn\u2019t line up till 1 week later on April Fool\u2019s Day. After leaving work at 8:30 am and getting my equipment. I called Joe to make sure we were still on. He said that he completely forgot. He had made an 11am appointment to get a newer car. He said that I could come over to look even if he wasn\u2019t there. I told him that I would be there in 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Joe was out back moving some of the tomato cages out of the way in hopes that he lost it in the garden while he was dumping leaves. I did a quick search and I couldn\u2019t get close to the edges because of the fence. It wasn\u2019t in the rest of the garden.<\/p>\n

I only had a small area in the back yard that I didn\u2019t finish the last time that I was here. SO I detected that. No ring. I got another machine with a 3-inch coil to try to get closer to the fences. No luck. I\u2019m getting frustrated and getting ready to give up. I really wanted to find this ring, AGAIN. Joe would be my 1st<\/sup> repeat customer and 1st<\/sup> successful repeat customer.<\/p>\n

I saw a rake in the garden and decided to rake all around the fence at the garden, both inside and out. I did it twice. The second time around I was down to the dirt. I moved some more dirt & leaves and there was a platinum ring right up against the fence.<\/p>\n

I took a few pictures and went to the house to show Joe. He couldn\u2019t believe it. He was so excited; his expression was better than the first time that I had found his ring. He asked if he could hug me. We hugged. He said that his wife isn\u2019t going to believe this. I suggested that he puts it on a chain or gets a replacement that fits. He said that he would look into it. I also told him that I had a good feeling about finding it today since it is my birthday.<\/p>\n

He now has my magnetic business card on his refrigerator for next time. I said it better be for a referral.<\/p>\n
