My dad died over 4 years ago. A couple of weeks ago, I was helping my mom in her flower beds and she told me the story of how my dad lost his wedding band while planting bulbs 10 or 12 years ago. So on Easter Sunday, I carried my DFX with me to my mom's, the family was having an Easter dinner. I got one of the great grandkids off to the side and told him the story of my dad's lost ring. I turned the DFX on to the jewelry mode and turned it over to an 11 year old and told him to have fun. Thirty minutes later he found the ring at about 5 inches deep. The smile on that kids face was priceless, almost as priceless as the one on my mom's. As for me, the DFX was worth every penny I paid for it and then some.
 
What a great day to find your dads ring! It must have been a very touching moment especially for your mom.
 
Cost of gas to go over mom's house for Easter family get together: $5

Father's lost gold wedding band: $175

Cost of White's DFX: $500

Introducing an 11 year old to buried treasure and warming mom's heart: PRICELESS!:goodpost:
 
Good thing it wasn't deeper than 5 inches or he couldn't have found it:D
You would have had to borrow my MXT to get to it!

Just kidding, great story!;)
