Ok.
First of all, if anyone can help me, I will be extremely grateful. I have never picked up a metal detector in my life.
Today, my wife and I took our daughter to Frazier Park, CA, because she had never seen real snow. As we were about to leave, I took one final ride down the saucer, stood up, and my wedding ring fell off.
We searched the entire area for over an hour, but couldn't find it, as snow was falling and the underbrush was dense. I believe my arm was swinging when the ring came off, so I can't be exactly sure. We observed that the road was beginning to freeze over, and as we were not prepared for a serious snow trip, we decided with heavy hearts that it was time to leave.
As I was getting really depressed, I thought to myself... metal detector!
I have a few questions I need to as you experts:
1. Will a platinum wedding ring set a good detector off? I realize this is most likely a stupid question, but I need to ask anyways.
2. Does snow in any way inhibit the process? Do I have to wait until spring to get back up there?
3. Does anyone rent metal detectors of decent quality in the Los Angeles area?
4. Which models should I be looking at for this specific purpose?
We made a record of exactly where we were, as it was simply a clearing off of the highway. We think there's a good chance that very few people would ever be in that particular area.
This ring is, obviously, important to me. My wife of nearly seven years saved her tips through our senior year of college to buy it for me, and although we can now afford to buy a new one without a big deal, this one is special.
I sincerely appreciate any advice given. Thanks.
