..Actually began for Travis Tuesday night when he took his dogs into the back yard and started to play in the snow. Toys were thrown and fetched and then snowballs tossed for the hounds to catch. After the wonder-fur time and frosty paws, with tails wagging the dogs went back into the house for the night as Travis shoveled snow off the deck. Early Wednesday, I got a text explaining that his ring was lost. I started to grid search with my MXT metal detector and got some junk signals but near the garage the detector signaled precious metal. Brushing the snow aside revealed Travis’ ring! He came over, we pawsed for a moment looking at it then he lifted the ring from the snow. Also very happy with the pawsitive outcome of the search, the dogs gave 4 paws up on the ulti-mutt recovery…….if you’re happy and you know it, clap your paws!
I received a call from Donna after she lost an extremely sentimental piece of jewelry that was given to her by her husband. It was a bracelet that she wore regularly. She had it on earlier in the day when she walked her dog in Longport, NJ. Later that afternoon, she spent time on the beach with some friends. It wasn’t until later that evening that she realized her Cartier LOVE bracelet was out on the beach somewhere since she couldn’t find it in the house. Donna saw that I found another lost ring in Longport, NJ, and gave me a call. We met at the beach and I started a search. Shortly after combing the areas, the metal detector gave a sweet tone. I reached down, brushed some sand away and saw something shimmer. I reached down and pulled out the beautiful Cartier LOVE bracelet. Donna was ecstatic, yet surprised, the bracelet was found!
This ring find began when I got a call from Ijah who lives in Honolulu with his lovely wife Alison. After enjoying a day at Paki Park Playground with their son, Alison was leaving and as she picked up her bag her two rings fell into the grass and disappeared. She had taken them off to apply sunscreen and had placed them on the bag for safe keeping. Ijah & Alison were able to find the Engagement Ring but not the sentimental rose gold promise ring. I asked him if the grass in the park was long or short and when we could meet. He told me he was heading there again to hunt some more so I told him I’d head over after my business appointment. When I called to let Ijah know I was on my way, he told me that the grass was recently mowed, probably that morning. My heart sunk thinking the mower would either slaughter the ring or throw it into infinity. I told Ijah to expect the worst and pray for the best I was still going to hunt. When I arrived I was able to street park right at the lost ring spot. Ijah had placed a plastic bear where they had found the one ring already. I started my grid search there. I had a few false targets probably EMI then a boomer on the Manticore. The grass was fairly thick so I stooped down with my pinpointer and as it went off the probe exposed a shiny rose gold ring. Got it Ijah! Wow! I can’t believe it! That was so fast. Ijah called his wife over to show her and she was obviously relieved after searching for two days. We said a few pleasantries and handshakes then I walked away thankful the mower failed to ruin the hunt. Aloha to Alison & Ijah!

Hanna called requesting my assistance to help locate her I-phone 11 lost while walking and playing with her dog in the a school playing field. I agreed to meet her after asking my usual questions! Meet Hanna at the park and she showed me the direction she took also told me she had a few friends with her looking for her phone for a few hrs the night before but could not find her phone. What made the search more difficult for them was the I phone had a white protective case and laying in the snow making it hard to see also her phone was on silent and find my phone app was not turned on. After about one hour we located her I-Phone which made Hanna very happy.
As I was waiting for the tide to fall at Ngunguru for a recovery, I was browsing the local social media.
Angie had just posted asking for someone with a detector to find and remove nails from her lawn in the area around an old bonfire site.
I had time to kill, so I got in touch.
Fifteen minutes after her post, I handed Angie my spare pinpointer, and after a very quick rundown on how to use it, we were both on hands and knees sweeping pinpointers across the bonfire site.
Initially targets were constant, but after about 30 minutes the signals faded away.
Time to get the coil out and check.
We had achieved about a 90% hit rate with just the pinpointers, and with the coil I identified the residuals.
Angie and I progressively removed these until the site was confirmed entirely clean.
There were suggestions on social media to use magnets, however these would not have released the bulk of the nails which were entrapped in the soil.
The specific equipment and expertise of a ringfinder ensured a 100% removal of ALL nails from her lawn.

I received a text from Brenda asking if I could look for her key fob which was lost in the snow. Her husband had been shoveling the driveway the day before and it fell out of his hoodie pocket. She did know if it was in the snow around the driveway or down in the sewer at the end of the driveway.
It was a balmy 18 degrees on the car thermometer when I arrived…almost warm enough for shorts and to work on my tan. I got straight to work and did not find much of anything…a piece of foil, a paperclip, and some type of tiny pieces of what looked like a chain but no key fob. The driveway was a problem as there metal all around the perimeter, so much so that I set down the machine and took out my pin pointer and checked the entire area with it.
After about an hour Brenda came out and was very disappointed I was unable to locate it. We talked for a few minutes and I told her at some point they might find it after the snow melted if it was not in the sewer. As we were talking she informed me with that being the only key fob for the car the dealership would have to remove the computer to make a new key and it was going to be an eye-popping amount of money. She thanked me for coming out and gave me my travel fee and a bit extra (very kind but not necessary). I decided that on my way out I would look one more time…I made it back up to the area of the steps that lead to the side of the house where I had found the foil earlier. I had another sound, guessing it was more foil I reached back in. Low and behold I found the key fob.
I went to the porch and rang the doorbell and returned the key fob to Brenda. I was relieved to have found it which would save her a pile of money and aggravation and she was just so thankful. I am glad I checked again and I had thought I had done a very thorough search prior to finding it, but I had to remind myself of one of the cardinal rules of metal detecting – always go back over your hole to make sure there is nothing else in it. I guess that holds true even in the snow! I was happy to be able to help and as always it was nice to meet another kind and generous person like Brenda.
90 Mile Beach (Te-Oneroa-a-Tōhē) in the north of New Zealand is a vast, flat, featureless strip of sand. Open to the Tasman Sea, the surf is generally large and relentless.
Layers of titanomagnetite (iron sand) cause issues with most metal detectors, and there is a definite art to being able to hear through the constant background chatter and identify your target.
Especially when you’re searching for a gold ring lost a week prior, with big surf moving tonnes of sand on every tide…
Wain had been playing with his daughter on a bodyboard in the waves when the ring slipped off his finger.
He glimpsed it sitting on the sand momentarily, before a wave buffeted him and he lost sight of it. Efforts to refind it were in vain, it had already sunk into the sand.
The ring had been passed down from his late father, so was of huge sentimental value. Fortunately, the family had done everything right to maximise their chances of getting the ring back.
Wain had taken several bearings by lining up features on land and on the rocks nearby. His wife had used her phone to obtain a GPS pinned location and they had contacted an experienced Ring Finder as soon as possible.
I left straight from work and met Wain and family at Ahipara at dead low tide.
With the contour being so flat, the tide retreats a long way which exposed the area of loss. It also comes back in pretty quickly too.
I had a couple of hours before the water returned and covered the search area.
I had two start points, Wains old-school triangulation using transit bearings and the GPS location.
A quick search around each estimated position revealed nothing, so I started the search in earnest.
Wain mentioned that the sand seemed higher against the rocks which didn’t bode well, so with the detector settings opened right up to maximum for a deep target I commenced the grid. The headset twittering and chattering incessantly with the iron sand interference.
The grid slowly spiralled away from their marks in the sand, a few possible targets were dug, mostly ancient nails from shipping pallets used in beach bonfires. Someones long lost stainless steel ring gave the heart a kick, but at least I knew I was getting the depth I needed.
The grid got larger and larger and the family drifted away leaving Wain sitting on a nearby rock. From his body language I could sense his hope fading.
I decided to reorientate, and move further towards the rocks. Assume nothing, Check everything, Believe No-one.
Almost immediately I heard something in amongst the background noise. Deep and messy signal, but definitely a solid target in the ironsand.
The scoop powered its way through the different coloured layers of sand.
I waved the coil over the last scoopful lying on the beach beside the adjacent crater. I knew from the signal this was it.
Tapping the clumps of sand with my foot to break them up, the yellow edge of a ring flashed in the late afternoon sun.
Wains face broke into a huge smile when he saw me hold it up. The relief and emotion was certainly evident and the ring immediately went back on his finger.
As we walked back, the incoming tide started to erase my grid in the sand…

I received a call from Jane on a rainy Sunday night about a lost ring. She and a friend had been at the beach, and decided to go in the water, but wisely removed her ring before going in and placed it with her belongings. When she came out of the water she picked up her things forgetting about the ring, and by that time the ring had vanished in the soft sand. I let her know I would come right away, so she said that she would wait.
When I found them they were waiting near the slope down to the water with a light rain coming down, and I could see next to them a large square area of disturbed sand where they had been searching for the ring. I asked Jane exactly what happened, and exactly where the loss probably occurred, and got a bit of disagreement between her and her friend about the where. Although the area was large, I decided to begin in the middle, and work out one side, and then the other. I began my grid, and about halfway into the first pass got a very strong signal and scooped the sand. I checked the hole, and knew that whatever it was, it was now in the scoop. As I shook the scoop to rid it of the sand I felt something heavy. When looking in after the sand was gone, I saw a very large gold ring just as Jane described. I held it up for her, and she and her friend were astonished that it was right in the middle of where they had searched, but were unable to find it. She was very happy to have it back, and I was thankful to be of help.

She forgot that the rings were there and went to take the towel up the rings went flying into the sand. Elizabeth and her family
