Hello. I have not yet begun shopping for a detector and won't until I get some solid input from those of you with experience - please.
I lost a high school class ring nearly 40 years ago. I threw it in anger after a break up (come on guys, I was a goofy teenager - and stupid) ... anyway, I immediately went looking for it knowing nearly exactly where it landed. Never found it.
Location: Southeastern Ohio. Fairly well-drained soil with average to heavy clay content.
The location of the ring itself is beside a gravel road or near the edge that seldom, if ever, is graded and it was far enough off the side of the road that other than sinking into the soft soil, should not have moved much in any direction (hopefully). However, it may be quite deep now since people have parked vehicles in that area off and on for years.
In your opinion, what is the best option for me to find this ring? Please toss out any questions you have that may help me clarify the situation more.
Thank you all in advance for your time,
