Wedding ring found in ditch – Aurora, Colorado
Recently I was contacted by Melissa. One night while in a heated debate with her husband her wedding ring found its way out of the car window. After a few hours cooler heads prevailed and the search for Melissa’s ring was on. They searched the site, which was marked by a field driveway, several times without luck.
I made arrangements to meet the couple and discussed what had occurred the night of the loss. After a quick re-enactment of the events that lead to the rings loss, in which a “test ring” was thrown from the vehicle, my search began. Because of quality equipment, which includes a good set of headphones, I was only slightly hindered by the noise of the traffic on the road just feet away. However, with the Air National Guard taking off in their fighter jets just a short distance away and hitting their after-burners while directly overhead, I decided to take a short break. After about an hour of searching the ring was recovered not more than 6 paces from the location where our “test ring” had landed.
Ring recovered: June 4, 2010
David’s lost gold wedding ring, North Cottesloe Beach, Perth
I received a call today from David asking if I could help locate his lost wedding ring. He had narrowed the search area down to a small stretch of beach at North Cottesloe, which is one of Perth’s popular beaches.
I headed straight down that evening to search the dry beach area but unfortunately the ring didn’t turn up in my scoop. I told David that I would hit the water at first light the following morning. David was concerned that my services was going to cost him too much money, especially as I was making a second drive to the beach, which for me is about a 60 mile/100km round trip. I told David there was nothing to pay unless the ring was found. David was blown away by this service that I offer !
Anyhow, I was back at the beach at 5am the following morning. It was a perfect summer morning for hunting, not a soul in sight and only the sounds of gentle waves and annoyed seagulls that I had disturbed from their peaceful beach.
After 7 hours of intense searching, David’s ring stubbornly refused to give up it’s location. I had dug well over $40 in Australian coins, countless pulltabs, 2 destroyed cell phones, and 2 pairs of sunglasses. I don’t give up easily but I had to admit defeat today which is something I really hate. I had covered the area really well and from different directions but this ring just wouldn’t get under my coil….gggrrrrrrrr.
David’s ring is a Japanese style ring of white gold and silver which is hammered together by hand. David has only been married 4 months and it appears that his ring was 1 size too big…..a hard lesson to learn after venturing into the water with it on for the first time.
I will keep looking for this lost ring whenever I get the chance and I am determined to see it back on David’s finger where it belongs.
Stay tuned…………
Thanks for reading my blog.

Found lost gold wedding ring Perth hills
Russell had lost his big 18kt white gold wedding ring in one of the lakes surrounding a winery, located in the hills to the East of Perth. I knew the job was going to be difficult as these lake floors are composed of a highly mineralised clay. The mineralisation required the use of a PI detector. I just hoped mine would work as it doesn’t have a ground balance feature.
Russell and his wife Lisa, met me at the winery early this morning. Fortunately, they both had a good idea of where it was lost but it was still an area of about 400 square metres. Russell lost his ring after a wedding function….the details of which shall be kept a secret !
I strapped on my Goldquest PI (detuned to quieten down the mineralisation) and ventured into the lake. Sure enough, I was greeted by some strong background noises and about 4″ of soft, squishy clay underfoot. This was going to be a difficult hunt. Off came the dive boots as they sucked strongly into the clay, this called for barefeet ! I just hoped the local crustaceans would leave my white toes alone.
The water was quite clear until the clay was disturbed, the results were constant clouds of reddish water. I thought that walking was bad enough but digging into this stuff was a real headache. Extracting the scoop from the lake floor was most difficult….but I don’t give up easily so on I pressed.
After about 30 minutes, I received my first signal from the detector. It was quite a soft but sharp signal and stood out amongst the background chatter. I sunk my scoop into the bottom and then wrestled it out of the thick clay……the target was in my scoop hidden in about half a bucket of clay. After finally breaking up all the material in the scoop, there lay Russell’s honker of a 18kt white gold ring, gleaming in the early morning sun. The reaction from them was quite a sight, it’s the most rewarding part of these type of hunts.
So Russell’s wedding ring is back on his finger where it belongs…..and his lovely wife Lisa has him back in the “good books”, at least for today, I think she said !
As Chris mentions in his website, every ring has a story and Russell’s ring continues to have one as it surfaced from the bottom of the lake today.
Thanks Russell and Lisa for your generous reward, I’m glad my services were successful.

Metal Detecting North Burnaby for… Basement Gold Wedding Band
Today I had a search for a set of keys that might have been lost in some dirt that this man spread around his yard. I searched but no luck. I hope for him it shows up in his house one day…
On my way home from that search I received a call to help a man who lost his white gold wedding band in his house. My first thought was unless he has sand or dirt in his house there’s no chance.
He tells me that he was in the middle of renovating his basement, he took off his ring and placed it on a pipe and shortly after it fell off into the dirt & sandy floor…
I’m listening to his story and looking out my car window as the rain was coming down, and thinking to myself, I’m going to have an indoor search… My first.
I arrive at the house and met the young man and he tells me what happen and takes me to the basement. We have to clime up and over a hole in the wall to get to the area the ring was lost.
He shows me the area and I start my search, I had one good signal but it was reading gold then iron.
I started to search in the area I got the signal in and there it was, his white gold wedding band. He was very happy to have his ring and he told me he could continue his renovations now as he couldn’t do anything until he found it.
I love my Job!

Metal Detecting…Lost 19k White Gold Wedding Band/Downtown Vancouver
I was at work when I received a call from a lady that I did a search for a few months back, she lost her diamond earring. I didn’t find her earring but I did my best to help her and she said that she’d pass out my name for anyone she knew that could use my service…
Today was the day as she heard about a friend at work who lost his wedding bandwhile playing volleyball at a nearby park. She said that he lost his wedding band while playing volleyball and it was lost in deep grass and he knew the area it was lost in, she passed my name and number to him.
Shortly after I received a call from theyoung man and we setup a time that evening to search for his ring. When I got off work I headed out to Vancouver, I met Chad and we went to the park were he lost his ring.
I asked him where he thought he lost the ring and to my surprise he wasn’t sure…This changes everything as now we might be searching for hours for something that isn’t even there. He wasn’t even sure if it came off playing volleyball, but that would be the most likely place to search.
I could tell at night the area that they were playing volleyball because the ground was packed with foot prints. I started my grid search and within 5 minutes I got a good signal and flashed my light to the ground and in the long blades of grass I could see the outline of the white gold ring.
I called him over and showed him his ring…
I love my job!
