| Club Members Personal Web Sites please check them out "Detecting News" by Harry Niemeyer |
| In 1978 Club member George Cypher , while detecting one Sunday found a white gold wedding band. George was excited with his find, so he replaced his plug and went home. The following Sunday, he returned to the same area where he remembered that he hadn't gone over the replaced area after finding the ring. So he went over the area again and got a detection. Kicking the plug out with his toe, there was the matching diamond engagement ring which was quite valuable. The moral of this story, RECHECK THE HOLES YOU HAVE DUG.

As he didn’t die immediately, a team of medical professionals set about finding the bullet – hence the need for the metal detector. Even though it was a crude and basic tool at the time, it became the basis for future metal detect ---------------------------------
