Received a text from a fellow ring finder asking if I wanted to take a double ring recovery that he wasn’t available to go out on. Of course I said, “SURE!”

I was passed on that they were lost at a wedding venue.

He sent me his number, I texted him, he said he lost them after he put them in his pocket before playing football with some kids. Turned out he had a hole in his pocket and that’s how he lost them. We set up a time when I could be there. I also had to gain permission from the Venue. The Venue said I could come out, but I had to be off the property by noon because they have events scheduled from noon today all the way until Sunday.

I arrived at 10 am, took me about an hour, but I found them both about 7 inches apart!

When we met up, his first words were, “YOU GOT ME OUT OF THE DOGHOUSE!”

Received a text from a past customer that his wife bad lost her silver ring (AGAIN)!

He asked me if I could come and find it today, I said yes and headed out.

l arrive and was told he put her on his shoulders and was spinning her around and around many times fast and it flew off her finger and into some vines and briars. It flew about 30 feet!!

I turn on and set up my machine to find silver and luckily it was on the farthest side from the direction it flew off. It was only about 2.5 feet into the vines.

Received a text/call last night from a gentleman that proceeded to tell me his wife lost a custom engagement ring while they were swimming yesterday.

He said she lost it in waist deep water. They had gotten to the spot by boat, but I found a half mile trail, there and back, I could take without needing to launch my boat.

I get to the site and got set up, walked into the water and got a solid hit on my first target! Two scoops later and it was in the basket!!!

I texted him and we met up to give it back to him!

Received a text from a lady that said her husband of 51 years had lost his wedding ring at a small lake/pond while fishing with his grandkids.

As he was reaching to get a bobber he slipped and fell into the water. That’s when his ring slid off and he lost his cell phone in the process too. He found the cell but couldn’t find the ring. He also said a buddy of his tried to find it with his metal detector but since they didn’t come up with it, he thought it had to have gone deeper in the water/further out from the bank. Oh and the bank was made up of rip raft rock so that made it a bit more of a challenge.

I started scanning the rocks hoping they missed it and I wouldn’t need to get wet. I even scanned the waters edge before getting wet. I didn’t come up with a signal.

So I decided I had to get wet! I realized that I had forgot my weight belt, so fortunately they had two 10lbs weights that I was able to feed my belt through to hold me down, so i could scan the 3-5 feet water about 3-7 feet out.

After 4 hours of all that, I decided to scan the waters edge again (made like the 4th-5th time I had scanned this area between my two set ups)! I get a hit and I tell the gentleman, “I AM NOT SURE HOW I MISSED THIS SIGNAL LAST 3-5 TIMES!”

I grab my pinpointer, get near the waters edge and come up with a big GOLD RING!!! It had been less than a foot off the bank (where he lost his phone) and about 8 inches of water! UGH! Glad i found it but, well you know! Lol

We walk back to the house, his wife didn’t know I had found it yet. We go into the house and I say, “WELL WE GAVE IT A GOOD SHOT, BUT ALL FOUND WAS THIS GOLD THING!”

The transition from sadness/disappointment to literly tears of joy was priceless!! She comes up to me to take the ring and gave me a big hug, keep in mind im still soaking wet! She said I don’t care! Then she turned to her husband, they hugged and both cried a little more!

This is why I do this and what I live for/love to experience!
