​LOST 2 KARAT DIAMOND PLATINUM RING FOUND IN LAKE ZURICH
Lost 2 Karat Diamond Platinum ring in Lake Zurich while on a short trail.
Found in 10 Minutes
The husband purchased a metal detector to find it however the way it was set up would have eliminated it.
She actually looked like she was going to faint when I gave it to her.
Got engaged in January and her future husband was out of state and she did not have the heart to tell him she lost her ring a, $15,000 diamond engagement ring, not inured.
House searches can be tough, as metal detectors really don't work in a house. After hearing her story it sounded like it had to be there so took one room at a time and gave them a thorough search.
Searched every room in the apartment for hours and was getting close to calling it when I tried one last thing, took off her pillow shams in the bedroom, and found it there.
She cried all during the search and the picture tells the story of when it was found.
No better feeling!!!

Received a call regarding a lost ring on a volleyball court. old me he lost it on Friday and contacted me on Tuesday, our courts are hit hard over the weekend so I really did not have high hopes of finding it but told him will give it my best shot. This is the first time I have been asked to find a Tantalum ring, honestly never even heard of it before this.
The old adage applies, they are never found where you think they should be, after about an hour of searching with no luck, I broadened my search area and hit it about 50 feet
