Random question - metal detector

I appreciate the tales. We actually bought a metal detector but it can't detect the matching earring. Seems it's too small. So that is likely that unless it turns up in the house somewhere.

We are so lucky this year despite everything that's going on. But if you'll forgive me a quick lament. The earrings were a gift from my parents for finishing my PhD. They bought them at Tiffany's in New York when they came for my thesis defense. It was not a small expenditure for them even though the earrings are not large. I wore them when I got married. Assuredly a small concern in this world, but it makes me a bit heartsick. Perhaps I can have the remaining earring made into something for my daughter when she's older.
