Lost diamond and platinum ring

I am trying to help find a ring that was lost at some time during an outdoor wedding and reception. The ring was an family heirloom as well as being valuable. The grounds are mowed down to 2" or so with a total area of about an acre. The bride and groom walked a grass road about 200 yds that was driven over by vendors picking up their gear. The area was a farm from the late 1700's until the mid 1900's so the ground contains old iron, shotgun and rifle casings, bullets and some general litter. I have been using my F75 in all metal and pinpointing all signals near the surface with a VDI of 10 and up. There are a lot of signals which makes me afraid I may missing the ring from fatigue. Does anyone have any suggestions for finding a ring near the surface.

Thanks,

Is it two rings or one ring? If it's a engagement ring.......it'll most probably ID around 22 - 25.............unless it's a wide/fat/heavy ring; in which it'll ID in the 30's. Should be a fairly loud surface target.

T om,

It is an engagement ring with a large diamond and few smaller ones. The platinum is typical thickness of a ladies ring.

Thanks,

Sounds like a small, thin, wire-band engagement ring. Should ID around '22'.

Try turning the sensitivity down so that only close to the surface targets sound off loud.

Just happened to be surfing the web and came across a youtube site (http://www.youtube.com/user/TurnersTreasureTeam#p/a) , seems to be a fellow that has helped many find precious rings and has a website ( [theringfinders.com]) that other metal detectorists can join all over the world to help those that have lost something precious and/or sentimental, appears some do not even charge a fee unless they find the lost ring.
