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!

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.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
