URGENT: Metal detector needed


GillianHG

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a metal detector that I could borrow this afternoon/evening? My husband has just lost his wedding ring - he felt it slipping off when he was putting a bunch of rubbish in the bins outside. He searched through the bins before having to rush off to a meeting but fears it has slipped off somewhere into piles of wet leaves around the bins... I am devastated. Any suggestions greatly appreciated...

Sorry to hear this, I know the panic all too well (though encouragingly I've always found it again!). No metal detector I'm afraid but Maplins in Forest Hill have in stock a beginner's metal detector for ?39.99, if all else fails you could always buy that then resell it as an "only used once" item, probably wouldn't lose too much?

Are the piles of wet leaves on solid ground?


Could you put them into bin bags and put them somewhere safe until you can search through them at your leisure?


Same with bin contents?


Alternatively rake through leaves at night with a torch, the ring should glint in the light?


Good luck!

Sorry to hear this, have you found it yet? Are the piles of wet leaves on solid ground?

I bought a gold metal detector, luckily, I found a lost ring with it. I think you can buy one because borrowing is too trouble.

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
