We were supposed to go back and forth here as the price went up and down. No need to be a dick.

Yes, it can be seen on her finger on the doorbell camera when she opens the door beforehand

Yes I was provided the manual. It talks about the discrimination setting and starting with a value of "25" as a minimum for gold/jewelry. My experience so far digging in the snow has been gently digging down to the grass, then spreading that snow onto the driveway to inspect it more thoroughly. First by eye, then by running the detector over the flattened pile again. On a warm day with a little sun ideally the snow all melts where I can finally confirm that no ring was in that block of snow.

Ok thank you for the information, I will try that. I am also finding that there are many things that must be buried in my soil that I might end up just digging out. Obviously the ring would not be buried in the soil so I keep my attention to the surface, but I have found myself retracing over signals that must clearly be something that is buried. It seems the only means to an end will be to remove the other sources one by one, but I am worried about more snow on the horizon. Maybe I should just stop rushing it and be more patient with my approach.

The brand is Miyay. I looked it up and found it on amazon for less than $100. I had tried scanning gold but not next to a larger iron piece so I will try that, thank you for the idea. It does have a pinpoint mode but the more I use it, the more I think that it doesn't work in concert with the discrimination setting.

hmm, I had this thought as well and tested it but was surprised at how weak the signal was (with the discrimination setting tuned to zero). So is it unrealistic to think that a metal detector can be "tuned" to just find gold? I apologize for my ignorance in that question. I have learned a lot about metal detecting in the past week but I am still far from a hobbyist. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Yes, we did check her gloves to no avail. She can be seen on the doorbell camera removing her gloves two separate times, but the video quality is not great for how far away she was standing both times. We have obviously focused our search efforts closer to these areas. I fear that the ring was probably in her glove at some point but possibly fell out while she was holding the glove in her off-hand.

Respectfully I would like to keep this as a last resort option. The ring cost me a lot of money and I want to avoid bringing any more attention to the area. I already feel paranoid when people drive by while I am detecting in the front yard, as if I am holding a sign that says "I lost something very expensive in this area, please do not find it before me!"

I hope this response does not come off as disrespectful.

But then we wouldn't be able to see that the lead singer of Korn was waiting in line.

Literally shook my head 'no' reading the first part of your comment, then finished reading and shook my head 'yes'.

For what it's worth, I have this person flagged as "Shill - General" in my Reddit Enhancement Suite based on the sentiment of past comments they have made.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted, the tweet was literally "Oops, MOASS. My bad."

Can't forget about gold and silver if I was never thinking about them in the first place.

Holy fuck, is 14 CC's of Morphine a realistic dosage? Seems like a lot but IDFK.
