Aloha, anyone know of local equipment rentals that rent metal detectors? I lost a ring in my yard while gardening :/
Mahalo for any leads!

How big is the area? Try go out when it is dark bend down, scan the ground with a flashlight to see if you can pick up the glint of the ring.
Another way is to take a shop vac, put panty hose over nozzle hose and vacuum area, you will pick up rocks, dirt and other items, but there is a chance you will find your ring!

Sadly I was making raised beds, so it could be under a foot of soil. And of course I meandered all over a quarter acre pulling weeds, so it's a big area. I found multiple inexpensive, do it yourself videos on the web so I'm going to try the McGyver approach!

I have a small one that I used to find corner stakes. Hand size about 12" long. I don't know now deep it will go but you can try if you want. It would be a hands and knees deal. Call if you want to try it. 982-3273
