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.

    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate? 
    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.   
    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
