No Tricks…..Just Treats….

Is what I said to Tom when he said his rings fell off setting up the yard today. He said what? I said the treats would be his rings being found. He laughed and said they have never fallen off before and wondered if this was another case of bad things come in 3’s. I told him I was up for some frightening fun and believe that there is power and unity in 3’s. Waving my magic wand in the form of an MXT metal detector over the areas he was working an eerie silence was in the headphones until I swept over an above ground planter box. It was the loudest BOO I ever heard. Probing my pin-pointer thru the dirt revealed the rings! Wickedly laughing he said what a ghoulishly delightful find, good things do come in 3’s!!! Placing them into his hand brought shivers down his spine that he was tempted to do the thriller dance.

Lost Gold Ring Underwater Found in Devils Lake Manitou Beach Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

In The Shadows of The Seaweed, beneath the Devils deep blue water legend has it that a Native American Chief aptly gave the lake its name after his princess daughter mysteriously disappeared on the foggy lake never to be found. Fast forward a few weeks ago when Doug’s wedding ring fell off while taking apart a metal deck. His mind wondered if his ring would have the same fate….never to be found. As we headed into the water today, the scent of hickory wood burning and the view of the trees ablaze with fall color reminded me of my childhood autumn camping expeditions. Starting a grid search in shallow water, we worked our way towards the end of where the deck was. At about 4 feet water depth, as I started to sink in the muck, I got a good metal signal. Pushing the sand scoop in I pulled up a scoop full of sand and muck. Swishing it away in the water I heard the sound of something clinking around. Peering into the scoop revealed Doug’s ring! He said that’s it! Back on shore he was thrilled beyond belief that his ring was found, and relieved that it wasn’t 6 feet under! As regards the other disappearances on Devils Lake….for now they remain unexplained.

Tungsten ring, Missing for 12 years, found in Popular Grove Il

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

About a year ago I was out metal detecting the site of a 1870s school house that is now just ag land. While I was out there a gentleman named Jim stopped and we started talking about the local history. He goes on to tell me that 12 years or more ago while having a party and bonfire one of thier guests lost his wedding band in the pasture. He asked if I’d be willing to come look for it. I said, “Sure!” and gave him my card and told him to call me whenever was a good time. So, out of the blue I received a call from Jim on Wednesday 10-28. He reminded me of our conversation and asked if I was still willing to come take a look for the missing ring. I told him I’d be glad to come take a look. Since it was getting dark already we made plans to meet the following day after I got off of work. When I arrived Jim took us back to the pasture where it was thought to be lost. We started a grid pattern 90° to each other. Jen was going north and south and I was going east and west. It took about 20 or 25 minutes but after lots of melted aluminum I got a beautiful solid 72-73 double tapping signal on the DĒUS II. I dug a plug and chased down the signal with my pinpointer and BOOM! There it was!! We thought that the ring was made out of gold, so it being made of tungsten carbide threw me off for a second.  But after a quick phone call we confirmed it was definitely the right ring!!!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!!

Lina called about the loss of her Grandmother’s ring. Her Grandmother had been on the front porch when with a flick of the wrist her ring flew off into the yard to a place unseen. They had been looking for it for 3 days with no luck, so we made arrangements for me to come out a search for her.

I got there and asked the Grandmother to explain what happened, but she did not speak English, so Lina was able to help me with the interpretation. After she explained the loss, I began to search. I looked through a wood pile, some furniture, and other odds and ends with no luck. I then turned on my detector and went work scanning the ground. It was just a few passes, and a couple of times with the pin pointer, and I found the ring. It had been in the dirt with just a dusting of the dirt over it, but the color of the dirt was almost the color of the ring, so even if you were looking directly at it you would find it difficult seeing it. Anyway Lina’s Grandmother was very happy to have her ring back

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Alex the day before I was headed out of town. He had lost his ring and believed it was in his back yard. Luckily, he was located less than 15 minutes from my work, so we made plans to try and locate it the next morning.

I’ll let Alex tell you the story in his own words!

“Jim is amazing! Not only did he help me find my lost wedding ring, but he showed up to my house at 6:45am because he was heading out of town later that day and wanted to ensure he could help me as quickly as possible. I can’t recommend Jim enough, if you have a lost ring and know the general area it’s in, he WILL find it! Thanks again my friend.” – Alex

Lost Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Broomes Island, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Matt back on October 4th about a wedding band that was lost the day before. I’ll just let him tell you the rest. Thanks for the kind words, Matt!

After you read his testimonial, take a look at the one picture! You can see how easy it would be to overlook it in the grass with the naked eye!

 

I can’t recommend Jim Wagner highly enough!

My sister got married last weekend, and sometime during the wedding my dad lost his wedding band in a grassy area that had been used for guest parking. He had worn that ring for 52 years without ever losing it, only to have it disappear on the day of his daughter’s wedding. Needless to say, both of my parents were extremely upset.

I spent about an hour searching the area with a flashlight but had no luck. Since the wedding was in a coastal area where metal detecting is fairly common, I started searching online for someone who specialized in finding lost rings and jewelry. Jim was by far one of the most highly recommended people I found, so I left him a voicemail.

Within about 10 minutes, Jim called me back. As luck would have it, he was already driving relatively close to the area on his way home. After I explained what had happened, he asked me a few questions and had me send him a photo of the area where I thought the ring had been lost.

When Jim arrived, his experience immediately showed. Using his equipment and expertise, he was able to locate my dad’s wedding band remarkably quickly. Finding a ring that had been worn for 52 years—and that happened to be lost on such an emotional and important family occasion—was an incredible blessing. We were all so relieved and grateful.

I also really appreciated how fair and straightforward Jim was about his fee. Because the location ended up being a little farther out of the way than originally anticipated, there was a very reasonable $40 call-out fee. Beyond that, there wasn’t a predetermined reward amount. Jim simply suggested considering what you might tip for good service along with the monetary and sentimental value of the item he recovered. I thought that was an exceptionally fair and reasonable approach, especially considering the value of what he helped return to our family.

If you ever lose a ring or another meaningful piece of jewelry in the area, I would absolutely recommend calling Jim before attempting to buy a metal detector and search for it yourself. After watching how quickly he worked, it was obvious that successfully finding lost jewelry involves much more than simply owning the equipment—it takes experience, skill, and knowing how to use it.

Jim clearly has that expertise. He turned what could have been a heartbreaking permanent loss into a wonderful ending to a very special family weekend. We are incredibly thankful, and I would highly recommend Jim Wagner as the person to call if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.

Matt

Lost Tungsten Ring Found in Ann Arbor Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Slips Happen…

And when they do, they can leave a person severely injured. But fortunately for David when he tripped and slipped on a parking block all he lost was his ring. Regaining his footing he scrounged around in the dark to find it to no avail. Now that of course was devastating for him because his wife bought him the ring with her first paycheck. Meeting them and getting the area narrowed down had me grid searching with my MXT metal detector. Lots of junk signals I passed over but a nice solid signal where tungsten registers on my detector had me reaching into the grass. I felt a ring-shaped object and pulled it up. Showing it to David had him running towards me, and as a trip advisor I yelled to go around the parking blocks this time! Holding it in his hands the only thing he was trippin’ on now was the recovery of his ring!
