LOST GOLD WEDDING RING AT WHITE LAKE, NC….FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

After finding the tungsten ring near Wilkesboro I received a call from the mom of this young man that he had lost his gold wedding ring at White Lake! I said I’ll be there in 3.5 hours!

Story goes he was running to catch a football and it fell off while running to catch it. He lost the ring before he caught the football. They searched and searched for hours with no luck.

I arrive at 8:00 pm, we walk to the spot and within 20-30 mins I had found his ring.

As I’ve stated, I’ll travel anywhere to help someone find their priceless items.

FOUND 1973 CLASS RING IN LAKE….RETURNED!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I found this class ring and did the research to try and return it… On 7/15/2026

UPDATE FOUND OWNER OF THE 1973 CLASS RING ON: 7/17/2026

I was able to find the owner of this ring. Turns out the daughter lost it when she was 15 while at a church event. She is 41 now, so it’s been lost for 26 years! We are planning on meeting up next week!!

This was a hard one. There are so many Northeast schools and only two with a Viking mascot. One in FL and one in PA. I had to go to the class of 1973 class page and checked out their class roster and found the only person it could have been. Searched the name on FB. I found a post that had the mom and daughter and I messaged the daughter, after we talked over the phone we confirmed it was the ring she had lost 26 years ago!!!

So glad I was able find it and even more excited that I will be able to return this ring to the family!

UPDATE RETURNED ON: 7/19/2026

I successfully returned the 1973 class ring back to the daughter that lost it 26 years earlier! She is going to surprise her mom with the ring soon.

I loved the research challenge and even more when I found the rightful owner and was able to return it to the family.

LOST 18k GOLD EARRING in CHARLOTTE, NC….. FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from this ladies husband saying his wife had lost a very sentimental earring in their yard while spreading mulch and asked if I could help.

After getting the location details, I headed out. I arrived, got the story and began my search. I used her other earring as my example in the program I was using but it wasn’t picking it up very well. After about 50 mins I switched coils and settings and used her other earring as my example again. After a few more mins I found it right where I had started! My first settings and coil wasn’t picking it up very well. Sometimes you have to take a step back, adjust and try again.

She had come out crying at one point so I knew I had to find this earring for her! I could tell it meant so much to her and I wasn’t going to give up until it was found! I told her “All hope isn’t lost, I will give it my all and do my best to get it back to you.”

They both were inside when I found it. So I still had the other earring and some nails. I knocked on the door and she answered and I said “I wanted to give you the other earring and these nails!” But I had both earrings in the mix and the surprise on her face was priceless!!!! She was so emotional, thankful and she went and played the same prank on her husband!

This is why I do this. I love these happy endings that makes my day!!!

LOST 14K WHITE GOLD WEDDING SET IN RIVER NEAR MILL SPRING, NC….FOUND!!!

Received a text from a young lady that stated she had lost her wedding ring set (two rings soldiered together) in a river that she was tubing on Friday July 3rd and asked if I could try and find it.

I said absolutely! The water was only about 2-3 feet deep and she lost it just before some rapids. So after work, I make the 3 plus hour drive and get to the spot. Grabbed my gear and headed down the little hill towards the river’s edge to assess the area.

Once in the water, I needed to try and figure out where she was based on the text message and screenshots received. I finally found what I thought was the spot and I get a good 72 VDI ring signal! It sounded loud and on top! The only issue was it was under a big log. I rolled the log to the right and scanned again. Now I’m really getting a good signal!! I went to get my goggles because I couldn’t see with the water moving and the suns glare. As I was coming back to the spot, the same “SUNS GLARE” actually shined down and I could see a silvery/white gold circle shining!! I reached down and pull it up!

I had to drive a ways to get cell signal back, but once I did I sent her the pictures and she was very happy!

Then I had to drive an hour to their house where I met her husband at the door! I said, “I hear your wife lost some rings!” He said, “Yes!” They both couldn’t believe it was still there and I found them! (on July 8th) Needless to say he was very excited to get them back as well!

LOST GOLD BRACELET W/GOLD BEARS IN SUMMERFIELD, NC…. FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from Julie saying she lost a very special gold bracelet with tiny gold bears. While doing some gardening and yard work yesterday.

I told her I can head her way as soon as I load my truck up.

I arrived at 3:25 after getting story and layout I started scanning. I decided to start around the garden area and I actually walked over it not once but twice!! I scanned the garden area then made my way to the front yard where she was doing some weeding out of her flower beds and moved a water-hose with a sprinkler over. I still didn’t find it and decided to head back to the garden area. (Got the feeling, you know?) I scanned around and scanned a hole and as I stepped back I heard a signal but couldn’t see it or anything yet. So I moved to the left a little and when I did I could see something shiny! It was one of the gold bears and then I could see two then three! It was her bracelet with the golden bears!

After reuniting her with her priceless treasure she advised me this was her only connection back to Colorado from where she’s from.

So glad they called me, gave me a chance and even more glad I was able to find it and get it back where it belongs.

LOST GOLD WEDDING RING IN CHARLOTTE, NC…..FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:


I received a call last night from this gentleman stating he had just lost his ring. We agreed to meet up the next morning so we had more time and sunlight. He continued saying he bought a metal detector and was getting lots of signals. He took the machine back last night after we talked.

I arrived around 8:30 and found the gold ring by 9:30. He thought he lost it about 50 yards back so we spent most of the time searching where he thought he lost it. After I wasn’t finding it, I started working my way further down and finally got a good double tap single I was hoping for!

He was so exited! Another happy story! Love recovering rings for people!!!

LOST Platinum wedding ring (for 5 months) at Air BnB on Lake Gaston, NC….. FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

So got a text from the wife of a guy that lost his platinum wedding ring at an AirBnB last November, just as the cold weather started coming in, I told her that sadly, I was done with water hunting for the season and that I could do it in late spring/early summer depending on the AirBnB schedule.

So a couple of weeks ago, I texted her and said I could do now that temperatures are rising. She responded and said she’d have to contact the owner of the house and get back with me.

We worked out a date and time for Sunday after 10:15 when the family checks out. I make the drive, review last years pictures and jump in the water to start my search. About an hour went by and I finally see a silvery/Platinum ring in my scoop!

I get out, take some pictures and send it to her, asking if this was “the ring!” She quickly replied back, “OMG, YES!” I said “send me your address and I’ll send you guys the ring!”

I sent this platinum ring to MD and the received it! It’s back where it belongs!!
