Lost Gold Ring Found In Novi Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

He Was Just Served…….

….and as the ball crossed over the net, Karthik jumped into the air spiking the ball back across and into the ground.

As the teams went back and forth rhythmically rotating players in order, the game ended with disorder on the court when Karthik noticed his ring was missing. A few people helped to search in the dark but no luck. Upon arriving this morning Karthik and I discussed details as a light rain was coming down. Deciding to search the sand in the direction of the spike revealed nothing. Rethinking, I started to scan a grid pattern in the grass area. After a few minutes my MXT metal detector gave me a good signal and just below the grass and quite a distance from the volleyball court this very nice gold ring with a silver band revealed itself! Even tho his team lost, he now holds the record for the longest distance a ring has been spiked!

Lost Keys And Gold Cross Necklace Found In Bingham Farms Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Daily Double…..

….Yes I am a jeopardy fan but Dan was really in jeopardy from being locked out when he called me to help find his lost keys and gold cross. He was exercising with his dog out back when near dusk he tripped and fell losing his keys and gold cross necklace. The back 40 I’d call it had leaves and soft soil. Turn on and go with my MXT metal detector got me scanning quickly and within a few minutes the keys and gold cross revealed themselves! Win Win!

Lost Sprinkler Valve Box Found In Rochester Hills Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

The Grass Is Greener…..

……Where You Water It!  That’s exactly how Ollie felt when he turned on his sprinkler system and discovered it was not working. He called me and mentioned I had previously located his property pins 2 yrs. ago and inquired about locating the valve boxes for his sprinkler system. I said sure no problem. He said tree roots and cable tv lines were in proximity and he didn’t want to start trying to find the boxes himself. On site I chose my Tesoro Sidewinder with it’s all-metal mode for searching. Scanning the ground I located the cable tv lines, then scanning a bit further the all-metal threshold sound increased on the metal detector as I traced the size of the metal valves/piping which matched roughly to the shape of the valve box. Scraping a few inches of mulch, dirt and small roots revealed the green cover of the valve box. Moving a bit away I found the second valve box. He was thrilled now that he could make the repairs to the system and excited that his grass will always be greener on his side of the fence.

Lost Rose Gold Ring in House Found with Dowsing Rod in Mt. Clemens Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

A Rose Between 2 Tee Shirts?……

….Got a call early this morning from Bri. She stated that somehow, somewhere her engagement ring went missing about 1am. On the way out I learned that she remembered putting it in her shirt pocket and just before falling into bed the shirt went into a clothes hamper. She searched the hamper and nothing was there. On site I noticed 2 piles of clothes close together. Assembling my dowsing rod, baiting it with gold to help form an attraction and extending the antenna I swept the rod to cover the whole room. From about 8 feet away the rod locked onto the clothes pile on the left. Grabbing my Garrett pinpointer metal detector we started to lift and scan thru the clothes. A few articles of clothing down the pinpointer buzzed, but it had buzzed on the zippers/snaps prior. Lifting a tee shirt off the pile revealed this gorgeous custom design rose gold ring with diamonds! Bri was stunned that her ring was not anywhere near what she remembered but thankful that a rose between 2 thorns can take on many forms!

Lost White Gold Ring Found In Luna Pier Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Beaches, Bonfires and Moongazing

Well what else is there to do in Luna Pier? That’s exactly what Dora and her friends were thinking Saturday night and into the morning hours today when the set up a get together on a private land beach to enjoy spending time together.

As the evening progressed into the morning they watched a thin waxing crescent moon rise over lake Erie. As the logs burnt away and the temperatures dropped the young group of selenophile’s decided to part company. It wasn’t until later this morning Dora realized her ring was missing. On site we checked the beach area and worked towards her house searching the path she travelled. Nothing in the sand was found. Getting closer to her house in a grassy area I got a great signal where white gold registers on my MXT. Reaching down revealed this very unique design white gold ring! Dora concluded that it must have come off while reaching for her keys in her pocket. Now the memories of losing her ring are replaced with thoughts of great friends, beaches, the crackling of a bonfire and the serenity of moonglow!

Lost Silver and Turquoise Ring Found In Southwest Detroit

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Penelope’s Great Aunt-Venture

When Penelope got home last night after leaving her friends house she noticed her ring was missing. It was part of a collection her great Aunt had passed down through the family and only hoped it could be found.

On site today we followed the path she walked home. Checking the hard surface areas revealed nothing so I turned on my MXT and walked the path thru some grassy vacant lots she took as a short cut home. Towards the end I got a nice signal in the grass. Pinpointing the target then reaching into the grass revealed this very thin band, unique silver and turquoise adjustable ring! She came over to see and was thrilled that it was here and not out on the pavement, and that she can return it to her great Aunt’s collection.

Lost White Gold Earring stud with Diamond Found in Farmington Hills Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

The Wife and Her Stud……..

…..Julia was shoveling snow, just about 3 weeks ago.

2 huge piles each side of the drive, she thought she’d never survive.

Back in the house warm drink in hand, something was missing totally unplanned.

It broke her heart to be apart……

…….Cos’ it brought pleasure wherever they went, even in the dark where time was spent.

A specialist was called we waited for the melt, I keenly sensed how she felt.

With my electronic sensor highly sensitive, I assured her to stay positive.

Sunrise came I stayed left instead of right, an hour later something sparkled in the light.

Peering down into the grass appeared a post, I blinked twice like I’d seen a ghost.

Signaling to her to come closer….. I see something under a 4 leaf clover.

As she plucked it, jumps, screams and smiles filled the air, tears of joy on re-uniting the pair.

A matchmaker I’m not, but was turned on to help keep their relationship HOT!

Lost Sterling Silver Ring Found In Taylor Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Celtic Conundrum

I got a call from Britney she said her ring came off while she was on a 4 wheeler traversing their 3 acre property.

We agreed to meet this morning and search. I set up my MXT and started to scan the path she took and about a half hour later I got a high meter read and pinpointing it with the MXT came in as a very small target at about an inch deep. Moving the grass aside revealed this very pretty sterling silver celtic design ring! Britney was super thrilled with the recovery as this was a Christmas gift from a very close friend, and Nessie was right on top of this since it’s the first “celtic treasure find”…. putting an end to the conundrum.

Lost White Gold Ring with Diamonds Found in Maybee Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

An Afternoon With Grandma

Got a call from Isabell last night saying she thought her ring came off while playing with her grandchildren at a local park. Upon arriving this afternoon I set up my MXT and began to scan from the grass area to the playground equipment. Nothing came up in the grass but over in the mulch area I got a huge no doubt signal. Moving the mulch chips aside revealed this very stunning white gold with diamonds ring! She was very happy that her ring was found as it was her mom’s and given to her years ago. Now her thoughts were filled with the great time she had with the grandchildren and less about losing part of the family!

Lost Sterling Silver Pendant and Chain Found In The Snow In Clio Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Petals In The Snow……

…..What? Could this be a sign of an early spring just as Punxsutawney Phil has predicted?

Got a call from Tammy last night she said that her thin silver chain broke loose when she was carrying groceries into her house back when heavy snow fell down upon s/e Michigan a couple weeks ago. It wasn’t until bedtime she noticed it missing. Searching the next day in the heavy snow revealed nothing and the parking area had been plowed. Upon arrival today most of the snow had melted leaving the parking area clear of snow. I noticed a mound of plowed snow so I used my garrett at gold metal detector to start scanning the around the mound. Nothing signaled on the first scan so we shoveled a bit deeper into the mound. Scanning again I got a faint signal. Scraping away into the snow revealed this really pretty sterling silver Lotus flower pendant and chain shining back at me! Tammy was beyond belief but super happy that it was in the snow mound. So even tho the groundhog saw his shadow, the Lotus petals in the snow are proof enough for me that spring is on the way!
