Lost Keys Found in the Snow in Farmington Hills Michigan

The “Key” to savings is…………Finding the Key!

This pretty, young lady placed a call with me frantically wondering if a metal detector would help find a lost key in the snow.
So I said uh yes, sure it would!
I arranged a meeting on site to check out what the story was centered around and found out she was walking the dog out back of the condo and somewhere her vehicle key came out of pocket while wrestling with the rambunctious dog.
I set up the MXT and put it in no disc coin mode and was wondering how it would do in this cold weather in SE Michigan.
I had just put in fresh batteries since my last set was reading 9 and I didn’t like that knowing the machine was going to be working harder in the cold.
I search for about half hour along the trails her and the dog made in the 5 inch deep snow but came up with nothing.
I noticed she drove a ford suv and I had my Ford work 4×4 truck key on me and it came to me to take a read on that since it was basically the same key and to see what the MXT had to show.
So in one sweep direction it came up as ferrous but a 90 deg. sweep came up non ferrous. Ok so now I had better idea of what to look for based on the numbers displayed on the meter.
So I made some more sweeps starting from the patio and bam! there it was in an area I hadn’t gone over!
Her smile really tells the story tho and finding the key saved her around $200
The MXT proved to be a real trooper in this cold weather and I won’t hesitate to take it out on another adventure!

Lost Gold Ring with Diamonds Found in Troy Michigan

30 Year Fixed!

I got a call from a husband saying his ring slipped off while raking leaves in the yard during warmer than usual s/e Michigan weather this week.
So I got on site and him and I talked about where he thought it may be so I set up the MXT and started to detect the area. He left me to search as he went back into the house to do a few chores and hadn’t been in there too long when I called him and said I found something interesting! I at first picked up iron signals from the rubber trim metal spikes around the area in question but then a 1 cent +60 reading came up solid from all directions and I was surprised to find the pictured 14k yellow band hiding just under 4 inches of leaves!
So he came running out and raised his hands in the air in amazement when I was holding the ring!
We got to talking a bit more and I learned that the ring, like all rings, have a special meaning and a story to them.
He mentioned that his wife on their 30th anniversary in August had his original ring and her original ring melted together and this one pictured with hubby was the one that represented both and this was her original design incorporated in his new wedding band! How cool was that I thought!
I wished them a happy holiday season and was happy to see them reunited with their ring that held such a special meaning!

A Splendid Engagement!!

Got a call from a nice young lady saying she was raking leaves and her recently new engagement ring slipped off.
When I got on site they had masked off the area to check. They also were borrowing a detector that’s used for finding property irons which did not produce the desired results.
I was only searching for about 5 min when the MXT rang out loud and clear and +12 on the meter revealed this gorgeous white gold ring!
See attached pics for response of the couple upon receiving the ring after seeing me holding it up in the air in victory!

Lost White Gold Ring Found Underwater in Lake Erie, Newport, Estral Beach, Michigan

Fisherman’s Blues to Fisherman’s Rock and Roll!

Got a call a week ago that a newly married guy was out fishing with some buds on Lake Erie and as they were bringing the boat back to shore in his ring slipped off. Wife of course was livid! Lake Erie can get quite rough at times and that’s what he was saying it was when he rented an ace 150 with no luck and those are good units but not waterproof. He doubted it could be found because it was out there for 2 weeks. He said it was roughly waist high water and I laughed cos when I met him out there he was quite tall so like his waist was at my chest almost my neck lol (everyone’s taller than me!) So being a private beach and no one else knew about the loss I figured we had a better chance of finding the ring.
We started at sunrise Wednesday morning and as we were walking to the beach the foliage was quite attractive and reminded me of being on an island. As the canopy opened up and as we were getting into the water he was good at remembering the area. I got a linear hit which produced a 6 foot copper pipe. Continuing my grid search and running 0 disc I got a soft signal. The water clarity was near opaque and I usually go barefoot during water searches as I can feel what the item is when I get a hit. The sand was compact so I knew if it was in this area it was just under the surface of the sand bottom. So I felt with my foot as I moved it around on the bottom that the object was round so I thought well its probably a bottle cap but those are usually louder. So I dig it all out in the water so it didn’t matter anyway. Placing my foot at back of coil and scooping forward with my 5′ handle scoop I got nothing, so I swept the coil again and redid scoop procedure and up came this gorgeous white gold band at chest high water depth.

Our ring finder client saw it first in the scoop as the water washed away and he went wild and I said is this the ring?! YES he exclaimed as we high fived!

SO not a bad hunt total search time 20min!

Lost Tungsten Ring found in North Toledo Ohio

Have Your Cake and Throw It Too!

Got a call from the friend of the groom to be. Just so happened that the bridal party was doing a photo shoot at a park and the cake started flying, and so did his tungsten ring. I didn’t know the material type of the ring until I met all of them at the park. The search area in question was 100′ x 100′ and the area was still marked off.
They had previously searched off and on this week but couldn’t locate the ring. After I searched for about 15 min a nice solid signal came thru (reading +52 on the MXT) and just under the top of the grass his attractive tungsten ring was revealed. My first tungsten ring. Very nice people that got very excited and emotional. I quickly put my gear in my vehicle as I was on the lookout for the cake.

Lost White Gold Ring Found in Dearborn Heights Michigan

Contact:

A Lovers Quarrel…..

During a heated argument last Thursday a future husband throws his future bride’s 2 rings into the back yard.

They find one of them but not the other. He called me from PA where they are moving to.

Bride to be is in shock because they had to leave the house in Michigan soon. Mother-in-law, pictured with ring, and I search the suspected area. We had lots of rain over the weekend and I told them it may have pushed it down in the ground. Using my older but trusty Garrett metal detector I searched for about half hr and got lots of signals, junk and coins….but then I got a double beep repeatable with very slow sweeps from all directions. Coming up in the ring range on the detector meter the depth registered on the surface and was in the direction of how they were thrown. This was also in the vicinity of where the main ring was found previously. A quick check with the pinpointer and moving the grass revealed the ring laying flat just sunk into the earths surface. Mother in law screams in excitement as I lifted it into the sunlight.

Quite a little beauty and look at all those diamonds! Everyone is happy and another great find!

Lost White Gold Ring w/ Peridot Setting Found in Wyandotte Michigan

From Quarrels to Smiles!

Got a call from Kiera. My first call as a Ringfinder. Not knowing what really happened I approached the assignment determined to do the best job I could. On site she said during a heated discussion her engagement ring flew out a window. She thought she heard the ring hitting the concrete and/or the metal fence along her driveway. She had rented a detector but didn’t find it. We searched her driveway area, and nothing came up. We decided to check further into the neighbor’s yard on the trajectory I thought it may have been on. Ring was found 40 feet from her window in the neighbor’s driveway. So, it did hit the concrete…..just in the neighbors yard behind the car in pic.

She was very happy and words can’t describe how much I enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, meeting new people and the feelings you get from the find and the owners excitement!
