Engagement Ring Lost In Back Yard Mayliewan Neighbourhood, Edmonton

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Bober called me this afternoon requesting my service to find his wife’s white gold engagement ring in his back yard. Bober told me she was standing on their back yard deck throwing treats to her dogs and her ring flew off her finger.

I met Bober and he showed me where his wife thought the ring landed. I quickly searched the area but no ring was found so then I went to the opposite side of the yard and bang, I heard the tone I was looking for!

Bober could not believe the area where I found her ring. I told him that a ring never lands where you think.

Thank you Bober for entrusting me to locate your wife’s engagement ring.

Tungsten Wedding Ring Lost Off Highway 855, Lamont County Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Brandon called me yesterday requesting my service to locate his lost wedding ring that fell off his finger while driving North on highway 855.  After asking my usual questions I agreed to meet up with Brandon the next day.

I meet Brandon and his wife Kassidy this morning.  They showed me the area that the ring fell off his finger while he was driving at 100 km/hr.  Brandon had his hand out of the van window when the ring fell off, and luckly he stopped right away and marked the area and started to search with no luck.  He and Kassidy came back again the next day and spent another couple of hours with no luck.

After talking to them both and eyeing the situation up I knew the ring could only be a few feet off the shoulder of the highway.  I began my search and within ten minutes I found Brandon’s ring laying in the grass two feet off the highway. Brandon and Kassidy were ecstatic to have the ring back. They just got married three weeks ago! Another Happy ending.

Thank you Brandon and Kassidy for giving me the opportunity to search and locate your ring.

Diamond Setting Falls Off Engagement Ring Halloween Night

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

Received a text message from a young lady that was joining her Family to go trick-or-treating in Brampton, Ontario.

When she arrived back home, she froze as she noticed her diamond setting was missing off her engagement ring.

Met with her and her Husband and Family, asked a ton of questions and decided to start from the inside of the house and work outward to the path taken trick-or-treating on Halloween night.

We pulled apart the couch and incredibly there was her diamond setting in between the two sections of couch to everyone’s surprise and relief!

Lost White Gold Ring Found in the Grass in Ann Arbor Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Spooky Gold….

…’Twas the night of all hallows eve when Dan gathered his brood dressed to ward off ghosts and headed to a vacant piece of land where they and some neighbors were hoping for a spooktacular evening next to a bonfire and meeting new people trick or treating. Sipping on some beverages and handing out candy the evening was going well until Dan noticed his ring missing. Now in the darkness he searched frantically and even with having quite a few children help it was not found. He wondered where it could have gone to, having been standing in the same spot all evening thinking…. did it fall off into someone’s candy bag? Did a real ghost or goblin take it? Selling his soul to the devil to find out wasn’t an option. He even bought a magic wand (toy type metal detector) hoping for some luck but to no avail. I arrived the next day and under dark ominous skies began grid searching the small area with my MXT metal detector. A few signals came up as 6.66 inches deep on the detector’s depth meter, but I knew these were false reads trying to trick me into believing it was the ring. Those signals were no match for the MXT metal detector, because a few sweeps later I got a great signal. Reaching down thru the trampled grass revealed Dan’s ring! He was thrilled that it was recovered and loved my metal detector. He asked how did I find his ring so fast? I said nothing spooks louder than having the right tool for the job, but the devil in me really made me do it!

Lost Gold Pendant in Public Park-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Jae late Thursday evening and she said she had lost her gold pendant in a local public park.  She and her friend had looked all evening until around midnight that night.  The pendant was made from the engagement ring her grandfather had given her grandmother in 1942. So it was very sentimental to her and all she had left of her grandparents.  The grass in that area was pretty deep, so finding it by sight was nearly impossible.  I got there by around noon the next day on Friday.  She had the area marked where she noticed the broken necklace.  I had marked out a block for my search that was about 75 feet by 50 feet.  That search area bordered a sidewalk on one side.  Being a public park I assumed the ground there would be very contaminated with metallic trash and other items, and it did not dissapoint.  Fortunately, with the Manticore metal detector I was able to differentiate between what was on the surface and what was deeper.  That still lengthens the search time because every target has to be inspected before moving on.  I completed the grid search in the block I had marked out and found nothing except pull tabs and a nickle.  So I moved down a little and marked out another block, this one a little smaller.  About halfway through that search area I was about 12 feet from the sidewalk and I got a 41 on the Manticore that was on the surface.  The grass there was about 3 inches deep so I pulled out my pinpointer to locate whatever it was.  The pendant was there, completely covered with grass and was not visible to the eye.  My total search time was about 2 hours.

Sprinkler Solenoid Valve Found Carolina Shores NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a call last Wednesday from a repeat customer asking if I could help him find a sprinkler solenoid valve in his yard. We agreed that I’d meet him today, Thursday, Oct 29th. When I arrived, Jim was waiting for me in the yard. He showed me the suspected area where the solenoid was buried. He told me that he had had some landscaping done and the protective boxes had been covered up with dirt and rocks. When I turned on my Equinox 800, I was getting all kinds of EMI (electromagnetic interference), so I turned down the sensitivity. Luckily, Jim had another solenoid that he had already found that I used to test. I knew I was looking for negative numbers and probably in the -4 to -5 range on the VDI. The valves are mainly plastic with very little metal (basically screws, a spring, and some copper wire) in them. When I ran the coil over the exposed solenoid, I wasn’t getting much of a signal. I cranked the sensitivity back up to 25 (max) and was able to get enough of a signal I could distinguish the signal from the interference. After checking a different signal that turned out to be nothing, I swung over an area more into the bushes. I got the low grunt sound and the numbers I was looking for. Jim started digging and after a few inches of dirt and rocks, he spotted the cover protecting the solenoid.  We found exactly what he was looking for. Jim for holding on to my number and giving me a call. So glad I could help.

Jim -Thanks, for holding on to my number and giving me a call!

Lost Gold Cross…Found At Iowa City, Iowa

Contact:

I received a call about a lost gold cross. They were in Iowa City for the Hawkeye homecoming game against Northwestern. They were tailgating before the game when a girl lost her sentimental gold cross that was once her grandmothers.

There was a grassy area where she thought it could have come off the chain around her neck. I arrived at halftime and did a grid search in the area for around 90 minutes until I found it.

It was a happy ending for everyone and the Hawks won too!

Father’s gold ring recovered!

  • from Eau Claire (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Received a call today from a gentleman who lost his father’s gold ring while raking leaves.  The ring has both intrinsic and sentimental value.  Fortunately he had a pretty good idea where it was lost limiting the search area rather than the entire lawn.  It only took about 10 minutes to find it, making us both happy.

Lost Grandfathers Ring in Concrete Mix

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a gentleman who was mixing concrete for a row of 2 X 2 Steps.  He was making about 20 steps for a customers’ walkway.  In the process, due to some recent weight loss, his treasured ring which his Grandfather had worn his entire life and then passed on to our him disappeared.  Short story, he had the ring on, made 20 concrete steps and 2 hours later when finished the ring was gone.

He was pretty sure it was in the 3rd step as a bag of quikCrete had burst open and he had scooped concrete with his hands.  Upon arrival with our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors we began scanning each step.  Few normal beeps and noises until I reached the 1st step.  It was not a normal Gold Signal but it was extremely strong.  I told the customer, I’m not sure it’s your ring but there’s definitely something there.

He said OK and picked up the 2X2 step and threw it on the ground breaking it into pieces, then he yelled “There it Is”. He did a little dance in the yard, gave us a big hug and told us we made his year.

This hobby/business is so much fun…
