On 9-14-2022 at approximately 9 pm, I was contacted by an individual looking for someone to search his vehicle for a lost diamond studded nose ring. The individual knew that he had misplaced the item within his vehicle but was unable to recover the item on his own.
It was another 4 days before our schedules aligned to perform the search using a video endoscope. I searched, unsuccessfully, for quite a while and was about to call it off, but opted to question the individual one last time.
An important new detail was revealed in that he had thought that he put the nose ring in the drivers side door pocket. He and I had both performed an inspection of this pocket by touch and nothing was in the pocket. In the name of being extremely thorough, I scanned the pocket with the video endoscope and found that the door pocket itself was made up of two pieces and that there was a small crease between the two plastic door moldings.
The other thing we noticed was a strong shimmer of light reflecting back out of that crease, but how to retrieve it?
I popped the plastic door panel away from the door and out of the corner of my eye, sighted the tiniest of objects fall to the pavement. I never imagined how small it would be, but after a good hard search and just before the skies opened up with a heavy deluge…We made the recovery!!!

This call to service reinforced the fact that continuous questioning can often times lead to new and unexpected recollections that can ultimately make or break the success of one of these searches.

I received a call from Ryan on 9/19/22 and he explained to me that he had lost his wedding ring at a soccer park and wanted to know if I could help. “Yes, I sure can”, I told him. So we set it up for 6:30 am the next morning. I had about a two hour window to find the ring before heading off to work. Ryan pretty-much walked with me the whole time, bending down to search with me many times. We had gone over about three quarters of the soccer field after about 90 minutes when all of a sudden, a solid hit on the Equinox! Ryan bent down to check… nothing. Then I moved to the detector once more over about 3” from where Ryan checked… BOOM there it was! I looked at Ryan and asked, “Hey bud, is this it?” He was thrilled to say the least! What a great start to the day for both of us.
