The Keys To Freedom…

…..Come in many ways. For Ray, like most of us, his set of keys was his freedom, but when he lost them in the snow the freedom those keys provided was lost. He faced being locked out of the house and a possible towing charge plus key replacement fee, and the hassle of it all. Using my MXT metal detector I scanned thru the piles of snow he shoveled. A solid signal came thru on the detector and down deep in a snow pile his keys appeared! Now free from the boundaries of the loss Ray can continue to enjoy his freedom!

Lost – Lady’s diamond wedding ring, Palm Coast, Fl – Found with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Brittany and her husband were visiting the Palm Coast area on Valentines Day and while driving along on highway A1A the unexpected happened. As we are all aware of how emotions and feelings can lead us to do and say things that we later regret…that is exactly what happened on this particular day. It was towards evening and thankfully they were not traveling at a high rate of speed when Brittany threw her diamond wedding ring out of the car window and into a grass area along side of the road. Her husband immediately pulled off of the road and into the nearest driveway and the two of them tried to find her ring…but her thrown ring was no where to be found!

Later that night Brittany tried to find help and went online to search for something or someone that could help her in her time of need. It was around 10:30 pm that I recieved her call asking if I could help her and after hearing her story my wife and I decided to make the one hour drive to Palm Coast and meet Brittany and we prayed to God we would be the exact help that she so desperately needed.

Brittany showed us where she “thought” the ring was thrown and I set up some cones and began doing an overlapping grid search of the 500 square foot area. Both Brittany and my wife were using very strong flashlights but the night dew was making everything wet and the grass and leaves glistened and sparkled making it almost impossible to find her lost ring. Along most any road there is allot of buried trash items giving signals that sound very similar to what a gold diamond ring would sound like so I had to investigate each shallow signal just to be sure. After 45 minutes I got a really strong signal that registered shallow and my head light exposed her beautiful lost diamond ring just laying there among the wet leaves and grass! Brittany was ecstatic and so relieved to have her ring back again! A lesson well learned, hey?

How we thank God for allowing us to be a blessing and encouragement to Brittany and her husband and we look forward to helping others who find themselves in need or our help and expertise!
Call anytime or text and leave me a message and let’s talk. 321-363-6029!

LOST ENGAGEMENT RING IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED.

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

Sam called me to let me know that his house burnt to the ground in the Palisades fire. He told me that his house was 10,000 squares feet and did I think it was possible to find an engagement ring in the rubble. He told me that he had four friends sifting and searching for it the day before with no luck. I told him that I would meet him the next day, and give it a shot. When I arrived Sam showed me there was no access to the house from the street, because there was a 20 feet drop to the bottom, we had to climb down a neighbor’s hillside of debris and climb over two fences. This took about 50 minutes to get down there and drag all the equipment with us. Once I started to dig and rake I found Sam’s ring in les than 10 minutes, It seemed like a miracle but we did it. He was overwhelmed with emotion.

It took him 20 years to save to build his dream house with an ocean view, and the devastating  fire took it from him in an instant. This is a similar story to thousands of other fire victims, who suffered an unimaginable loss. My heart goes out to all of them and can only hope that I can bring some solace to these families.

Lost Heirloom Gold & Diamonds Pendant at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This Gold & Diamonds Pendant hunt began last month on January 19th when Vickie texted me that night about losing it in Ulua lagoon.  She was on the shoreline with her niece and the young girl reached up and accidently pulled on her necklace and a Jade Circle and the Pendant fell into the water.  Vickie was able to see and retrieve the Jade Circle but the Gold & Diamond Pendant was gone.  She was only a car length from the coral rocks on the left side so I immediately started a hunt the next morning.  I covered the area extensively and could not find the Pendant.  I had my buddy Terry hunt and he was unsuccessful too.  Then two days ago on a ring hunt for a Platinum Wedding Band,  I stumbled upon the Pendant in waist deep water.  It was so far away (maybe 20 car lengths from the coral rocks) I was wondering if I found Vickie’s Pendant.  Thankfully, when I got back to my car, after the successful ring hunt, I found a pic on my phone of Vickie’s beautiful Pendant and indeed it was a match.  We were able to meet up yesterday for the return and I got that smile & shaka!  We will never know how the Pendant got to the location it was found.  Aloha to Vickie!

Lost and found car/key chain Peterborough Ontario

  • from Cobourg (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

Received a text from Ankit last evening about him loosing his key chain, with all his important keys last evening while snow blowing a driveway. While reviewing security camera footage, he was able to see the key chain falling out of his pocket then the snowblower throwing it out onto the yard. After reviewing the videos and pictures, headed out to his location. Snow had to be over 3 feet deep but I knew that the keys would most likely be towards the surface. About 45 minutes later, got a faint iron signal and found his car/key chain about 6 inches deep into the snow. Ankit was extremely happy and relieved.

Lost gold wedding band found in Peterborough Ontario

  • from Cobourg (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

Received a text from Luke last week about him having lost his gold wedding band while knocking down icicles from the roof in his backyard. While doing so, he fell down in the snow which he was pretty certain that’s when the ring slipped off his finger and was lost. I gave him a few pointers on how to use a detector and how to search for it but to no avail. I headed down to his location today and started to search for the ring in deep snow. I eventually found the ring embedded in a couple inches of ice on one of the wooden steps. Luke was extremely happy to be reunited with his wedding band especially on Valentine’s Day.

Lost – Men’s 14kt Gold Wedding Band, Daytona Beach, Fl – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Early Friday morning, I got a text from Clay. He was in town for the Daytona races and had played a round of golf the day before. Sometime between the first and fourth hole, his 14-karat gold wedding ring had slipped out of his pocket and vanished.  Only married three months, he did not tell his new bride Maddie.

I told him that when it comes to lost items, time is of the essence. We agreed to meet up soon after. I grabbed my Minelab Manticore and pinpointer, loaded them into my vehicle, and headed out. As I drove, I silently prayed that God would guide me to Clay’s ring.

We met at the clubhouse and began retracing his steps, methodically checking each spot where he had parked and every tee box where he had played. We even scanned the exact areas where he had taken his shots. But after thoroughly combing through it all…no ring. Not willing to give up, we decided to backtrack from the third hole to the first, making sure to stay clear of the golfers still on the course.

At one point, Clay suggested, do you mind walking from here? I’ll head to the third hole and work my way toward you. That way, we can check along the path my golf cart took, just in case the ring slipped out while I was driving.

I said, sounds like a plan, and we split up.

I had just finished searching near the second tee box and was making my way toward the third hole along the edge of the cart path when my detector gave a strong, promising signal. I bent down, brushed aside the grass, and there it was gleaming in the sunlight, half-hidden but unmistakable. Clay’s beautiful gold wedding ring, waiting to be found.  God is good!

Lost Platinum Wedding Band at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a call from Jeric’s Mom.  Her son Jeric from Roseville, California was on vacation in Hawaii celebrating his Grandma’s 100th Birthday.  Jeric had just received his new Platinum Wedding Band from his lovely wife six days ago and while playing with his children in the cool waters of Ulua Lagoon he looked down and noticed it had disappeared.  Thankfully, he hadn’t moved around too much in the water so the ring was in a relatively small area to hunt.  My quitting time was 40 minutes away so I told them I would grab my gear and head right over. When I arrived Jeric showed me the location in the water and I began the hunt.  A few coin targets and some foil then a Yellow Gold Diamond Pendant I had been looking for at least a month.  It sure was far away from where it was supposed to be.  Then on the next grid line coming into shore I got a nice tone and in one scoop there was Jeric’s Platinum Band.  I yelled to shore that I had found it and several family members joined us on the beach to see the recovery.  Cheers & handclapping was heard all around and Jeric was certainly relieved.  Enjoy the rest of your special family vacation.  Aloha to Jeric!

Lost diamond rings in sand on the north shore of Oahu

  • from Waikīkī Beach (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

It all started when I got a phone call from Paul, his voice filled with panic. “We lost the wedding rings on the North Shore Sunset Beach!” he exclaimed, and I could hear the distress in his tone. I was at work in town, surrounded by the hustle and bustle, but my heart was already racing. I needed to get home, situate the kids with my wife, and grab my metal detector. This was a call I couldn’t ignore.

After a quick chat with my wife, I rushed home, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I informed Paul that I am on my way and will let you know when I was about twenty minutes out. I felt a surge of determination and the North Shore was my childhood playground, a place where the ocean waves comforted me as a child. I couldn’t wait to help them find the lost rings.

When I arrived at the beach, the parking lot was alive with activity. I met up with Paul and Heewon, their faces a mix of concern and hope. As I followed them down the sandy path to the spot where they thought the ring had slipped off, memories of my own childhood flooded back. I marked the area in my mind, ready to begin the search.

With my detector in hand, I made my first pass over the sand, the hum of the machine blending with the sound of crashing waves. Nothing. I took a deep breath and started my second run. Halfway through, the detector emitted a strong tone that sent a thrill down my spine. This was it! I scooped down, heart racing, and as I raised the scoop, there they were—two beautiful rings glimmering in the sunlight.

Excited, I looked up to share the moment with Paul and Heewon, but to my surprise, they weren’t looking my way. I approached them, holding up a piece of fishing lead I had found and asked, “this don’t look anything like your rings?” They shook their heads, still scanning the beach.

“Then what about this?” I said, revealing the scoop. “Inside the scoop!”

Suddenly, a shout of joy erupted from Paul and Heewon, their eyes wide with disbelief. “That is my rings!” he exclaimed, rushing toward me. The air was thick with celebration as beachgoers nearby turned to see what the commotion was about. They joined us in clapping and cheering, the sound echoing against the backdrop of waves crashing on the shore.

What was lost had been found, and the rings were back in their rightful hands. We all celebrated, laughter mixing with the sounds of the ocean. “Enjoy the rest of your trip here in Hawaii!” I said with a smile, feeling grateful to have played a part in this joyful reunion.

As I walked back along the beach, the sun setting in a blaze of color, I felt a warmth in my heart. The North Shore had once again woven its comfort, reminding me that sometimes, the simplest acts of kindness bring the greatest joy.

Mahalo Paul and Heewon

LOST DIAMOND RING AND GOLD JEWELRY IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED.

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

 

I was on a search for Teresa in the Palisades fire last week that was successful. Her aunt lived in her own room in the same house, and lost a big diamond ring and other gold jewelry, I was asked to search for her jewelry as well. There was a lot of debris, in her corner of the house, that had to be removed, once that was out of the way. I started sifting and began finding her jewelry, there was a large diamond ring, a gold lapis ring, several other gold rings, some gold and silver necklaces, two gold bracelets, two watches, several pairs of gold earrings as well. I found over 30 pieces of jewelry in total. Teresa’s aunt was so happy to have it back. She told me that she thought it was gone forever, and was   amazed  that I was able to find it under the rubble and ash.
