Lost platinum wedding ring found in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire









I was contacted while on holiday by the husband of a lady who lost her ring while feeding her chickens.
The husband was quite upset as was she and there was talk of lots of hassles with the insurance company.
I was convinced it would still be there unless the chickens stole the ring!
After an extensive search of the garden and repeated searches in the shed, I found the ring in a sack of hay!
Very happy all round!

I recovered this gold ring after and extensive search of a garden near Reading, the compost pile had been scanned along with all the beds and under every bush etc. At first I hit a signal but it was too deep but I had to investigate as you do. This was a real bonus as out popped a lovely silver ring the the gents wife was very fond of so she kept it. Sorry but no pictures for this one.
A few hours later while searching in the vegetable patch I found the rather large gold ring! A very happy Professor!
A young lady lost her gold ring a couple of weeks ago. It was given to her by her grandmother. This was a family heirloom and needed to be recovered.
After a long search in a very popular scenic site of Wittennham Clumps in Oxfordshire the pair were finally reunited.
Made everyone’s day.




Lost gold watch found after the owner was tidying his garden. Problem was it was in an area which was used for fires for many years, which was overgrown and full of trash. recovered in about an hour. He gave it a little wind and it sprang into life!
Smiles all round!
My little sorex pro is definitely my workhorse detector.
A couple called me this morning after the husband lost his wedding ring while lobbing a rugby ball about in a campsite. The problem was time, as later that day a whole crowd of triathletes would be descending on the site to camp for the nignt.
After a fair few bottle caps and about £8 in coins I located the ring, it was quite a hefty ring that was made from a lump of platinum supplied by the husband which his jeweller aunt turned into a ring for him. Very pleased to make them smile.



Mid last week a lady called me to search for her gold diamond ring that was of great sentimental value. She had lost while shredding lots of documents. Seven bin bags to be precise.
She said it may not even be in that lot as there was a possibility it could have been lost while removing her glove so it could be anywhere?
I agreed to the search which we carried out indoors as the weather was nasty outside. Being fully aware of the problems of indoor detecting, I detuned my AKA Sorex Pro with 6×10″ 14 kHz coil and found the cleanest spot in her sitting room, I had a few iron signals but no non ferrous.
I carried out a quick test with a pound coin to gauge sensitivity through shredded paper and staples etc. Then I carried out the search, there was shredded paper all over the place as it was necessary to empty at least half of the bag so it would flatten out enough. Bag after bag was searched with no joy, but then she said “I have another two bags in my car”. Beginning to loose hope at this stage but carried on to the last bag. then “PING” a great big solid signal that was either a coin or a ring. There was the ring that could have easily been recycled.
Another very happy lady.

I was contacted early last week by a lady who had lost her platinum diamond engagement ring back in February. She had been feeding the ducks when she lost the ring in the lake. She tried herself to find it and also another detectorist searched, but with no luck.
We arranged a day and off I went to meet her and her husband in Leicestershire. We were blessed with good weather , and after a short drive to the lake, her husband and I were in the lake. Me with detector and scoop, and her husband helping with another scoop. All I was finding was the occasional modern coin and just one piece of foil, a very clean lake I thought.
About three hours into the search and I hadn’t left the water, but I did not feel like giving up just yet. Then I started to get a signal with a very strong iron signal close by caused by the steel reinforcement in a concrete slipway. This was very annoying and quite off putting, there was also quite a lot of algae constantly clinging to my search coil. I noticed when I was moving the algae the signal would move, so the target had to be close. Put my hand in where the target was as I was now getting a double signal so it had to be just under the coil….out it came! “is this your ring” holding it up to attract her attention. She jumped up and ran over, she was so very happy to have that ring back . ” I’m not feeding the ducks ever again” she said.
Her face just said it all! She could not believe it and neither could I. It made my week knowing I had reunited a lovely couple with their engagement ring.
It was a great challenge for me, as water is not my favoured detecting environment. So bring on the next one!
