I had the absolute pleasure of helping out Phil and his wife with a very sentimental lost item yesterday.
The call came in while I was knee deep in databases so was in itself a welcome relief 🙂 Phil was originally looking for a hire detector to find his late mother’s wedding band but 
after a quick chat I explained that the hire detectors were not really ideal for new users in wet beach salt water sand environments and suggested just getting me to pop down there..
I met Phil at Glenelg where I handed him some flags to mark out the search area and went to work walking one pass, turning back and picking up a awesome low tone signal about half way back along the second pass. It didn’t sound too deep so I just leaned down and pulled the target out with my fingers and called Phil over 🙂
The ring had that high gold content almost red tinge and had a lot of weight about it. A beautiful ring, and awesome ending to the search and I will never forget the look on Phil’s face when he got his Mum’s wedding band back after having it on a chain every day for 18 years.
I love this job 🙂
