Two days later Mr. Wonderful (who's definitely hearing impaired) found it in the clothing . It was against a metal retaining wall and the ringing made the metal vibrate and amplify the sound. I call Mr. Wonderful my finder.....he just grins and says, "Well, if I'm the finder what does that make you?"
