I received a call from Carrie, she was wondering if I was able to find a ring that was lost decades ago. I told her I could certainly give it a shot. I’ve found many lost valuables from the late 1800’s all the up to 2025. She said her Dad had lost a ring in the yard back in the 1970’s. I checked out the address. Carrie’s Mom & Dad had built this house in 1971 and I knew that anything I would find in the yard is certainly theirs. We set up a day & time for the search and I met up with Carrie’s mom, Judy. Judy told me that her husband had lost a ring while planting trees in the backyard when they first built the home. She showed me the area in question and I went to “work”. After finding a few coins, old nails/washers and a little trash, the whole backyard was cleaned out and free of any metal objects. I thought about Judy’s husband planting trees and what else could have caused his ring to come off. There is a double chain link gate leading to the backyard from the side yard. If he was carrying the trees, he’d have to set the trees down and open the gate for access. So, I started detecting the side yard and got a nice hit on my detector right away. About 3 inches down in the dirt shined a beautiful silver Trinity Knot ring. The Trinity Knot is a Celtic symbol meaning endless Love through the Father/Son/Holy Spirit.

Judy, it was truly a pleasure chatting and spending time with you. I’m so happy I found that ring and hope it brings you joyful memories of your late husband.

Carrie, thanks for contacting me and giving me another great ring find memory.

Take Care and God Bless!
