Mary had put her rings in her pants pocket for safe keeping but when she got home it was missing. She searched her bag and around the house but thought it might have feel out when she took her pants off to go swimming. She was right!!
Young Dad Gets His Ride Back……
…..A call came in around noon today from Keegan who was visiting some family. He said he brought the children to the park and took a zig-zag shortcut thru a woodsy, undeveloped park of the park to avoid some flooding on a trail. When they got back to the car about an 1/8th of a mile away he reached for his key and just the plastic holder that held the key was there. Panicked at being stranded he thought how he was going to get back home to Pontiac MI. On site we discussed where the key may have come off the plastic holder so we packed up the children and drove to the woodsy area. While the children sat in my van with the air conditioning on, the temperature was rising as Keenan and I went into the search area. I had my MXT metal detector set for no discrimination and sensitivity set as high as I could as sweeping the coil was difficult thru the thick and deep foliage. Getting tangled a few times convinced me this was where his key got caught and came off. There was no way to get a perfect swing of the metal detector coil so poking the end of the coil in and out of openings in the brush and pushing the weeds down with the coil was my only option. After a few junk signals came thru I found a small piece of open ground with loose leaves. Sweeping the coil over I got a nice signal 0″ deep in the brass range on the MXT meter. Checking with my pin-pointer outlined a basic shape size of a key and pushing the brown leaves aside revealed his missing key! Keenan was in total shock that it was here and that he didn’t have to get towed and a new key made! Taking them back the the car and watching him unlock the door and drive off was wonderful to see! Even tho his day started on a blue note, they are now on their way to a wonderful Father’s Day!

Daniel and his family were enjoying the beach at Fort Macon State Park. Daniel removed his wedding band before heading into the water. It wasn’t until they returned to their vehicle that Daniel realized he didn’t put his ring back on his finger. His wife Shanta found Crystal Coast Ring Finders and plans were made to attempt a recovery the following day. After going through the proper channels to secure permission, we headed to the area that Daniel had marked very well the previous day. After a few sweeps, my Equinox 800 displayed a strong 21 signal. Daniel’s ring was found just a couple of inches below the surface.

I was practicing my detector skills and settings at “The Circle”. As I pulled another bottlecap from it’s sandy depths (glass bottles are prohibited here), a couple asked if I had found an ear ring. Kate informed me she had lost the ear ring in the same general area 2 days prior. My recovery mode went into action as I started to grid the area. To her surprise and after a few more pieces of junk metal, I received a solid 1 signal on my Minelab Equinox 800. It took 1 scoop to unbury her missing ear ring.
Kate was thrilled I found it and explained although it didn’t have monetary value, her Aunt had made the ear rings for her and the sentimental value connection made her very happy to have the set back in her possession.
I got a call from another metal detectorist that had searched for 4 hours trying to find a lost gold and diamond bracelet. I went out and got in the water and immediately got a hit. I dove down with my weight belt and pinpointer so I could hold the bottom and on my last bit of air I had it in my hand!
I received a call from Dimitriy P. yesterday. He was cutting grass between Blueberry bushes while on his tractor. His cell phone was in his pocket and with the bumpy ride it fell out and went under a clump of cut grass. After walking between the rows of bushes where he had been driving the tractor and searching for the cell with no luck he Googled “lost cell phone” and found the Ringfinders. I have Kalamazoo as one of my cities I serve and that was close by. After reading my resume and making a few reference calls I was asked to find his cell phone.
I called my detector friend, Tom Cleary, to help me search the large area. We started at the front of the field and worked our through the Blueberry bushes. After a search on the front of the farm we headed towards the back and that is when Tom called out to me that he found the phone under a clump of grass with his Equinox 800 detector.
I called Dimitriy as he was driving the 2 1/2 hour trip from West of Chicago. We sat in the shade and waited for about 50 minutes for him while also charging up his phone. Upon arrival Dimitriy explained that his friend just bought the Blueberry farm and it had grown up from neglect for a couple years so they had to cut the grass between the rows of bushes. He said the phone wasn’t that expensive except for all the information that was on it. After a few pictures taken he invited us to come down when the Blueberries were ripe and help ourselves. Thank you Tom for the help.
Ring was lost near New Era. On Sunday Clayton was playing catch with a football in just about one foot of water when he felt his wedding ring slide off his finger. Gregg Larabel and I headed out right away on Monday afternoon because the wave action of Lake Michigan has a way of burying rings forever. Although Clayton had to work and couldn’t be there, Gregg and I met about 15 family members and friends at the waters edge of the rental cottage, and Clayton’s dad, Mike, showed us where to start: right where Clayton had stuck a stick in the water where he thought he lost his ring. After about 10 minutes of searching I got a good hard signal of 55 on the At Pro detector about 6 feet from Clayton’s stick in the water. Then the digging started. After lots of scooping with no results I called Gregg over, and he scooped some more, but we didn’t have the ring. I rechecked the huge hole we had dug to see if the 55 signal was still there and it was. Just one more big deep scoop into the hole and ring was in my scoop! The whole crowd on the beach erupted in a cheer! After only about 24 hours the ring was already buried over 12 inches, we got it just in time. Clayton’s parents, Mike and Jennifer, stood in for the picture in the absence of Clayton but we got a happy picture of Clayton and his wife after receiving his ring back. Good memories saved for the 2021 vacation on Lake Michigan.
Got a text message from Bonnie on Saturday night June 5th at 20:50, that her husband Skip had lost his wedding ring in the water while wrestling around with his son. He was very upset and heartbroken that he had lost it. I reassured her that I would do my very best to find it for him and make him happy again. The next morning, first thing, I drive to their location and I get the lowdown. I changed my settings to only find silver or large sliver I then jumped into the water. It was less than 10 mins later I get a solid on the top silver target that I just knew it had to be the lost ring. After about five attempts to scoop it out, I finally saw the big shiny ring at the top of the clay clump on my sand scooper as it fell into the basket. I yelled out, ” I GOT IT!!!” I get up to the bank and wash it off, shoot a photo and hand it back to Bonnie’s husband and he gave me a great big ole hug. Another happy person, reunited with their precious lost item.

Got a call from Ann saying her ring slipped off while working in the yard. On site she showed me the area between a small garden and the back of the lot where debris was thrown. Turning on My MXT metal detector I grid searched the area. Off to the side of the yard close to the house the detector signaled good metal. A quick probe with the pin-pointer in the grass revealed this gorgeous custom design wedding band! Waving her over she reached down in total amazement and lifted the ring from the grass. We both agreed this was a great way to start off the summer!
