Echo did the right thing and took off her jewelry before her afternoon cheerleading practice out on her high school’s field located in Hagerstown, Maryland. She was wearing two very important gifts given to her by her family:

A sweet sixteen sterling silver Claddagh style band with heart-shaped ruby stone

A vintage sterling silver band with diamonds, emeralds and blue sapphire center stone

At some point, the girls were instructed to bring their things closer to where the team was wrapping up their routines. When the practice was over, Echo picked up her things and began walking across the field, up a hill towards the parking lot and then over to the front entrance of the sports stadium. The cheerleader had placed her two very special rings onto her bracelet prior to practice so that she would not lose them. Unfortunately, after getting picked up by her mom, the teenage girl realized that she wasn’t wearing her jewelry other than the bracelet. The rings were gone! She had never put them back on her fingers!

In a panic, the two immediately returned to the high school in order for Echo to retrace her steps and hopefully find her irreplaceable keepsakes. Sadly, echo and her mother were unsuccessful in recovering the two rings.

Echo’s mom stepped into overdrive and drove quickly back home to acquire a cheap metal detector that had been laying around for some time. Then, Ellen returned with her daughter to the high school once more to see if they could find the jewelry out on the field, along the hillside leading up towards the parking lot and then over some more grassy real estate that led from the parking lot over to the front of the high school sports stadium entrance.

Unfortunately, all of the efforts expended by mother and daughter led to no avail. The two returned home feeling beaten and depressed. At some point, Ellen found me online after searching for a professional detectorist to help solve the mystery of the missing rings. She found THE RING FINDERS, an elite international directory of metal detectorists who specialize in finding lost jewelry for their clients.

After going over the details with my client, we set up a time for me to travel out to Hagerstown, Maryland to attempt to recover the two rings. Five days later I arrived at the high school and the three of us took a tour around all of the areas where Echo had been walking on the grass (before, during and after cheerleading practice). I put flags in the ground to mark the path where the teenager moved about the day that she lost her beloved rings.

Once I acquired all of the facts that I needed to begin the search, I called the three of us together for a moment of prayer and then I reached for my necessary metal detecting gear and headed down the hill to set up my grid lines. I metal detected a large area of the hillside from top to bottom. No rings were found. The only concern that we had was that there was a chance that one of the high school students could have eyeballed one or both of Echo’s priceless jewels. The other issue of concern was that the grass had been recently cut and there was a chance that the mower could have chopped up the jewelry.

When I concluded that the rings were not anywhere on the hillside, I started to set up my grid lines further towards the area where my client picked up her belongings to start heading with her fellow team members towards the parking lot at the top of the hill.

I am excited to share that I found both rings while scanning the first grid line extended down towards the place where Echo had picked up her things. A perfect sterling silver signal appeared on my detector screen with a very encouraging tone coming through my headphones! I first found the vintage blue sapphire ring and then moments later, about a foot apart from the other ring, I was able to recover the lovely ruby heart Claddagh ring, as well! I could not have been happier for the young lady who was sitting at the top of the hill with her mother, hoping for some eventual good report.

When I surprised the two ladies, they were completely blown away by my happy news! There was so much relief in the air on that school property as the three of us rejoiced at my findings! Later on, I thanked the Lord above for answering our prayer that we offered up to Him earlier before the search began! I was so grateful that my “Heavenly Hero” helped me that day to be a “ring hero” for Echo and her mother! Perhaps the angels above were doing their own cheer for me in the spiritual realm right at the moment that I discovered the two missing rings for my client!
