I drove the 15 minutes to the location and met a gentleman who described what happened. His girlfriend took off her ring and threw it into the ground. Then they heard a &#8220;ting&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Well the story didn&#8217;t add up. If she threw it into the ground in the area he said, there was nothing but grass, so they shouldn&#8217;t have heard the &#8220;ting&#8221;. Several feet to the right was a large parking lot, to the left was a driveway, and straight ahead was the street.<\/p>\n<p>My guess is that she didn&#8217;t throw it down, she threw it out. I searched the area anyway. I used 2 different detectors. The guy was right there with me. Every signal he was on the ground looking through the grass hoping to find the ring.<\/p>\n<p>I even walked around the parking lot, the driveway &amp; the road. No luck! He offered me some cash to cover my time but I declined.<\/p>\n<p>I think she should get a platinum metal for the toss. Oh that&#8217;s right she threw the Platinum away&#8230;<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.metaldetectingman.me%2Fthe-metal-detecting-man%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F46&#038;t=New%20Olympic%20Event%2C%20Jewelry%20Tossing&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.metaldetectingman.me%2Fthe-metal-detecting-man%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F46&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=New%20Olympic%20Event%2C%20Jewelry%20Tossing\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:15px;margin-right:15px\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.metaldetectingman.me\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png?resize=24%2C24&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.metaldetectingman.me%2Fthe-metal-detecting-man%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F46&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:15px\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.metaldetectingman.me\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png?resize=24%2C24&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is it when couples fight, one of the first things they do is throw their expensive jewelry?
