LOST PISTOL NEAR ELIZABETHTOWN, NC….FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call that a gentleman had lost his pistol after hunting, laying it on the hood of his truck and driving off.

After taking a curve, he heard it slide off and hit the road. He tried going back to find but was unsuccessful.

We agreed I’d meet up with him Saturday afternoon and try and find it for him.

I get there and walked about 400 yards on one side and almost 400 yards back on the opposite side when he found his lower. About 10 feet up I found the upper and part of his holster and he found a bullet.

I think when it hit it got damaged some,  I feel it got ran over too. Nether the less, it’s found and he doesn’t have to worry about someone else having it.

Men’s Tungsten Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Doylestown, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Matt was doing some tasks in the backyard of his townhome in Doylestown, PA when he felt(and sort of saw!) his tungsten wedding band fly off his finger. It happened to be his 5 year wedding anniversary so it was awesome to see how motivated he was to get it back on his finger! Unfortunately after hours of searching he just couldn’t locate it. He had a good sense of the area of where it likely flew…but the grass was deep and he wasn’t sure exactly how far it could have flown through the air. He found me in The Ring Finders directory and I met him the next day.  After Matt reenacted the action that caused his ring to fall off I went to work…confident it would be a short 5-10 minute search. Well after about 30 minutes of searching a pretty large area…we were both stumped. No ring. I told him I was going to give it one more pass and maybe head in the opposite direction of where he thought if flew through the air. 5 minutes later I finally got the signal on my metal detector I was hoping for…and BOOM…I bent down and pushed the deep grass to the side to reveal his beautiful wedding band. We both howled a victory scream and high fived! I was crazy happy to be able to find this ring for this nice couple!

 

 

 

 

LOST IPHONE IN POND NEAR GREENSBORO, NC….FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Alex texted me saying his wife had dropped her cellphone in their family pond while kayaking and asked if I’d be able to come out and try and find it.

Well, not going to lie, after the recent cold snaps I was very hesitant to say yes. I told him as long as it wasn’t over my head I was willing to try.

Alex said the water was chilly and that it was about chest deep water and he had a Life360 last location spot where they think it went into the water.

I told him I would head there after work today and try to fish it out.

I arrive, we jump in a canoe and kayak and paddle across the pond to the spot. I parked the canoe on the edge so I could just walk out to the spot.

About 10 mins later I got a loud can hit and was able to use my feet to push it into my scoop.

Fathers ashes ring recovered

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was contacted a while back by a gentleman who had lost a very special ring which had been inlaid with  has late fathers ashes in what I presume was a type of resin or mineral.

The gentleman has been carrying out extensive work in his garden which was, lets say in a bit of a state, with debris and trash contaminating the site. There was also remnants of a recent large fire as an area of decking had been removed, so lots of screws and fixings also.

I knew this would be a challenge just by the amount of iron and drinks can remnants in the garden. Maybe because the property was on an approach to a local school.

I rarely use any discrimination while detecting , but this time it was necessary due to the amount of iron.

I was very thorough in my search, going over the entire garden several times over a few hours, so I was getting to thinking this ring wasn’t going to be found, or wasn’t even there.

I then spotted a pebble placed in a flower pot that had been painted with memorial message about his late father. Within a few minutes of seeing the pebble I received a nice clear tone that needed investigating. There it was, pressed into the soft ground, a lovely gold ring with the very special green inlay.

The owner was very pleased to be reunited with this ring, as I was to have recovered it.

Lost Car Keys Found Along US 421 – Lewisville, NC

  • from Winston-Salem (North Carolina, United States)

Tuesday evening, I was forwarded a message from a family who had lost their car keys. They had set the keys on top of the car while securing their young son in his seat, and didn’t realize they were missing until they arrived home, a county away. They had eaten dinner at a local restaurant earlier that evening, so the keys could have fallen anywhere along the way.

I reached out for more details. I didn’t hear back, but the area was a short drive and there was no traffic at that hour, so I went out to look. Unfortunately, I couldn’t locate the keys that night.

Meanwhile, the husband had returned to the restaurant around 9:00 PM. With a flashlight, he walked the roughly one mile to the highway and searched the on-ramp to US 421 before heading home.

This morning I received more details, and my commute to Wilkes county took me the same direction. Entering the highway, I carefully scanned the roadway and the right shoulder. I found the keys six miles from the restaurant, about 200 yards past the Williams road on-ramp on the right side of the road.

The husband came to my office to pick them up. He told me he had first thought I might be a scammer trying to get money out of them, but seeing my photo put that worry to rest. He also said the dealership had quoted a very high price for replacement keys, plus a tow fee and glad to get the keys back.

The family was very thankful, and I was glad to help, especially since I was already in the area.

Another Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered in Sargent, Texas!

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)

Another Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered in Sargent, Texas! 👍💍

Cale, a South Carolina resident, contacted Houston Metal Detecting Services after losing his treasured Texas A&M class ring while visiting an Airbnb in Sargent, Texas.

While tossing a football with friends, the ball bounced into the water beyond the backyard bulkhead. Cale removed his shirt and watch before jumping into the waist-deep water but couldn’t remember whether he had removed his ring or placed it in his pocket.

Was the ring lost in the water or somewhere in the backyard?

We made the trip to Sargent the following Saturday and started searching the grassy area where Cale had left his belongings. It didn’t take long! His missing Aggie ring was found hidden deep in the thick Saint Augustine grass, nearly impossible to spot without a metal detector.

Another successful recovery, and Cale’s Texas A&M ring is now heading home to South Carolina!

300 PRC TITANIUM SUPPRESSOR LOST NEAR ELLERBE, NC….FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Well this was an EXTREME first for me!

Got a call from a range safety officer at a near-by long distant gun range. He advised me a gentleman had shot his titanium suppressor off his 300 PRC and it had traveled about 100-150 yards.

The terrain has wash out ditches and briars. “GOOD TIMES!”

So after work, I headed to the range, met up with this gentleman and two other guys that had been searching for it for hours already.

I get set up and start walking and veered to the left of where he shot and there it was! I had searched what these wound ring up as on my XP DEUS II and it told me 88 and above (WRONG) it was a 69/70 VDI. Luckily I saw it! Only took me about 10 mins to find it. I got very lucky to have walked and veered to the left!

💍 TWO FAMILY HEIRLOOM RINGS RECOVERED – ALVIN, TEXAS!
Roxanne was visiting her son in Alvin, Texas, when she lost two cherished family heirloom rings belonging to her mother and sister. Believing the rings had fallen from her necklace while playing with the family dog, she spent hours searching the backyard without success.
With a flight home scheduled for the following day, Roxanne contacted Houston Metal Detecting Services for help.
After reviewing security camera footage and searching the backyard, our investigation shifted indoors, where both the rings were recovered underneath the couch!
🔎 Sometimes a successful recovery is more about investigative experience than metal detecting equipment. Eliminating the suspected search area helped lead us to the missing rings.
Another successful recovery, and two priceless family treasures returned!
