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.

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

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!

LOST GOLD EARRING NEAR RANDLEMAN, NC……found!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a text from this sweet lady saying she had lost a gold erring while cleaning around a grape vine row. The back had fallen off and unfortunately the gold earring popped out of her ear and into the grass/leaves.

I get the layout and the details. She has the other earring so I used that as my target range. (VDI 30-32)

I get my machine all set up and start down one side and within 10-12 feet I get a hit!!! It was her earring!

I found out it had been lost for about a month after I started my search.

Lost Ring Found after house fire – Reno, Nevada

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)

Reno, Nevada — November 1st, 2026: Lost Gold Wedding Ring Found by Owner with the help of metal detector specialist Trevor Oxborrow.
Got a message on Facebook from Maribel on Friday, October 30th: “I might have an odd request, But it’s really important to me.”
Tragically, her home was destroyed by a devastating fire. She and her kids were left with only what they were wearing the day of the fire.
Her request: “I would love to recover my wedding ring.”
I explained that my metal detector would be next to worthless searching through the burnt house debris. But I was willing to help search.
With the final home debris removal date looming, she needed to find her lost wedding ring ASAP. We scheduled Sunday, November 1st, for the ring search.
The good news, Maribel knew exactly where the ring was located at the time of the fire — on a small ceramic plate to right of her bathroom sink.
For three hours we lifted, moved, and sifted through burnt wood, broken granite countertop, crushed cabinetry, tuffs of insulation, folded over siding, and melted personal effects.
We finally got down to a layer of ash, dirt, and occasional cosmetics that indicated we were searching in the right area.
At three and a half hours we were both tired and ready to give up. I scraped a top layer of ash from an area to the left of where the ring should have been—and had just started using my pinpointer on that pile of ash—when Maribel started searching the new cleared area. At that very moment, she moved two bottles of melted cosmetics and yelled “here it is!”
Wow! That was a tough search.
I was so relieved we found her ring and she was super happy!
My advice if you’re looking for your lost ring — “don’t give up hope, and perseverance will be rewarded.”
