Lost Ring Found in Illinois

September 28th, 2010 by

Priscilla said she has been searching for the ring she threw off her back porch for several months. She said she even rented a metal detector with no luck. She said she heard it hit the shed about 20 feet away and she had been searching the area in front of it. I had her throw a similar ring from the same place with the same force and it flew up over the shed. The second signal I hit behind the shed was her ring. Apparently, what she heard was the ring hitting the roof and bouncing off. As you can see in the picture, she was one very happy young lady.

Lost Gold Ring With Sapphires Found Stewart Beach Galveston, Texas/Video

August 14th, 2010 by

Wednesday August 11 2010 I met my treasure hunting buddies TXCoindigger, DiggerDun and OTlew (The Hole In The Beach Gang) at Stewart Beach Galveston, Texas for a late afternoon and evening treasure hunt. The weather was pleasant for a change, cloudy and cooler than normal. As I started hunting near the towel line a stranger with a metal detector approached. We shook hands, he told me he was from San Antonio. After a short conversation he walked away. In passing an umbrella he looked back and said “Someone lost a ring there, I tried to find it with no luck” (pointing at the sand) and then continued on his way. Fifty feet later I was at the umbrella. I double checked to see that my Fisher F4 was in All Metal mode then swung the coil. On the first pass of the Double D coil a strong signal was heard through my earphones! I switched to All Metal Discriminate Mode to check the Fisher VDI number. It was 27, definitely in the gold range. With my scoop I removed some sand and there is was, a beautiful gold ring with two blue stones! The people from this area were apparently in the water so I walked on a bit and developed a plan to have the person identify the ring and then return it. Soon that occurred, a young lady ran in from the surf and identified the ring. I presented it to her and she was very happy. The ring was handed down from her Great Aunt. A video of that find and return is attached to this blog.
