booyah New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 01/18/2007 11:05 am My wife lost a small diamond earring... It is not very valuable, but has sentimental value. We know almost exactly (within 8-10 feet) where it is, but could not find it in the grass... I have never used a metal detector... What are my chances for finding it if I rent or borrow a metal detector? Edited by Metalman 01/18/2007 2:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Most detectors have a discriminator function that can be set. So you can use the other earring to set the discriminator before you start. Good Luck. Maybe there is a forum member near you with a detector... Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/18/2007 2:02 pm If its metal the detector will find it ,, Depending on the age,type and settings your detector has (some have preset programs that allow you to just choose a target type ) some do not have this feature and you will have to manually set the detector for what your hunting. in a ten by ten foot area,, you may find more than just the earring !!
