Episode 43, Saving David’s Texas A&M Class Ring
It was a crisp January morning when I met David at a duck hunting lease in Pattison, Texas. David, a proud member of Texas A&M’s Class of 2025, had lost his cherished Aggie ring while on a weekend duck hunt with friends. The ring had been loose on his finger for some time, and despite his best efforts to keep it secure, it now lay somewhere beneath two feet of water in a muddy rice field.
David explained that the mishap occurred just after sunrise while deploying decoys in preparation for the hunt. Knowing the ring was loose, he had placed it in his pocket for safekeeping. However, later in the morning, he reached for his phone in the same pocket, and the ring slipped out, disappearing into the murky water.
When I arrived, David greeted me with a mix of optimism and concern. “I’ve narrowed it down to about a 20 by 20 area,” he said, pointing toward the flooded field. His friends had marked the spot with a reed, which proved to be a wise decision. I commended him for thinking ahead; marking the location of a lost item in water is critical to any successful recovery.
We grabbed my gear and made the short trek across the field to the hunting blind. The water was cold, and the mud beneath our feet reminded me why patience and determination were key in recoveries like this. David stood near the reed marker, watching intently as I began the search.
Sweeping the detector slowly and methodically, I worked through the grid David had indicated. Within moments, I got a strong signal. Carefully, I shoveled up the target with my XTREME Scoop, and through the mud and grass in the scoop, I could see David’s Aggie ring.
The relief and joy on David’s face said it all. “I can’t thank you enough,” he said. “This ring means everything to me.”
This recovery was a reminder of the importance of acting quickly when something valuable is lost, especially in water. Marking the spot, as David had done, significantly increases the chances of success. He would be heading back to school with his class ring—and a great story to tell.

Lost gold ring in Lady Lake, Florida…Found with a metal detector and returned to owner!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)

Kendall was attending a horse riding show as a participant in Marion County Florida when in her rush to comb out her horse’s tail she lost a very precious ring that her loving father had given her when she was 16 years old. She actually felt her ring slip off but it landed in the sawdust covered horse stall and it immediately disappeared. But she was in a hurry and did not want to be late for her showing and thought that when she was finished she would find her lost ring. After her ride she returned to the stall and began looking through the saw dust and horse manure but for all her efforts she was unable to find her lost gold ring! She posted her dilemma on Facebook and someone sent her my name and said “Call Mike…he will help you!”. So later that day I met Kendall and was able to find her lost ring which was mixed in quite well with all the sawdust and horse chips.

Thank you Kendall for calling and trusting me to find your precious lost ring…it truly was my honor and privilege!

Man’s Rose Gold Wedding Band Lost in a Severe Storm on the Beach – Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

Last night I received a text message about 12:20 am from Savannah saying, “Hello, my husband and I are at North Myrtle Beach, and we were out this afternoon taking family pictures with our children and got stuck in a really bad storm and as we were running off the beach my husband’s ring flew off. I was wondering if you guys helped find rings or if you knew someone that could. We know the area it fell off but think sand is over it due to how bad the wind was.” I immediately responded asking her to call me, which she did. I got a few more details and told her I could be there in about 10 minutes. She agreed, so I grabbed 2 detectors and headed out. I don’t like to leave a ring on the beach for too long. There’s so many locals and tourist that metal detect all hours of the day/night depending on the tides. So, there’s always a chance a ring will be found and kept by the finder.

I arrived at the location and Savannah and her husband, Dwight was waiting for me in the parking lot. They walked me out to the area, and I could see that they had put in a good effort to try and find the ring with their hands. It wasn’t a real big area, but after quite a while of gridding and then cross gridding, I wasn’t finding Dwight’s ring. They decided to call it a night sometime after 2 am, after I assured them I’d text them when I found it. I grabbed my second detector, with a 15” coil out of the car and started all over again. I expanded the search area 10 ft past the end point and worked an east/west grid. I went from the bottom of the dunes to the top of the slope, probably 35-40 yards end to end. By now, I was way outside the assumed area Dwight said he felt his ring slide off his finger. After at least another 30 minutes, I got a very loud and solid signal. It showed me a vdi (visual display indicator) of 20-21. Of all the rings I’ve found, a man’s Rose Gold band was not one of them, so I didn’t know what number to expect. I dug a shallow scoop of sand and saw a quick glimmer of gold as I lifted up the scoop. Shook the scoop and there was Dwight’s ring sitting in the bottom of the scoop. BINGO! It was now 3 am, but I text Savannah anyway with a picture of the ring. Almost instantly she responded, “Coming down now, thank you SO MUCH. We met up and I handed Dwight back his lost treasure. Both were extremely happy. We met up again this afternoon so I could get some pictures. This is their last day of vacation so at least it’ll be a good one! Looking back on this find and discussing it with Savannah and Dwight, there’s no logical explanation of how the ring ended up so far away from where it should have been. The only thing we could come up with is that the wind was blowing so hard, it literally blew his ring 30-40 yards down the beach. It was a very strong wind though!

Savannah/Dwight – Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to help find your treasure. Best of luck to you both and have a safe trip back home.

Jim

Lost – Diamond Engagement Ring and Wedding Band, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

If you’ve lost your ring, keys, or phone on the beach, or in the backyard, give Detector Ed a call…757-419-0299.  I am available day or night, phone, or text me as soon as possible.  Do not post it on social media!

Tuesday, I got a FB text from Thomas.  He said that he and his wife, Madelyn had been to New Smyrna Beach.  During the trip their wedding ring set had been put on the beach towel.  When they packed up to leave, the beach towel was picked up and the rings went flying.

I told him that I would go right down to look.  As I drove along, I whispered a quiet prayer, “Please God, help me find these rings.”

When I arrived, I began gridding in the 95-degree heat with my Minelab Manticore.  Thomas had been very exact about their location, but I found no rings.  I was about to give up, having covered the entire area multiple times finding only trash items and coins.

Just then, a car that had been there the entire time pulled out.  I quickly, ran over and got an immediate hit.  It was a ring with a big, beautiful diamond!!  Only, a foot away, another beautiful diamond ring!  Thank you God!

Later that week the wedding set was returned to the happy owners.

Lost Fancy Silver Ring at 4 Seasons Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began while I was on a Friday afternoon hunt at 4 Seasons lagoon.  Marissa & her father on vacation from South  Carolina approached me and the look on their face was “Can you help?”  I asked did you lose something and Marissa said she did a Fancy silver ring in the shallow water of the lagoon.  They pointed out the area and I began the search.  After about 20 minutes with no recovery they said “thanks for trying.”  I was like, “no hang on the beast isn’t going to miss a silver ring!”  I expanded out the grid search towards the South and on that line I got a screaming high tone and in one scoop there was Marissa’s Fancy Silver ring in the scoop.  Marissa came over and said “can I hug you and thank you so very much.”  Another vacation back on track.  Aloha to Marissa!

Lost Huge Gold Diamond Ring Found in Grandbury Texas!!!

  • from Fort Worth (Texas, United States)
Contact:

Paxton called me Wednesday 5/28/25 asking if I could help in locating his lost wife’s huge gold and diamond ring. After a few questions about the areas I agreed to come out on Friday 5/30/25.

My son and I arrived on Friday and started to search the sloping rocky backyard. After about 10 minutes I located a gold band that was not their ring. At about 30 minutes into the search I got a very good signal right by where my son had already searched and found a couple of nails and moved on. Well this signal was the ring right under the surface in the dirt. Paxton did not want a picture taken so that is yours truly with the Rock!! Thank you Paxton for the very generous reward.

Contact:

Call or Text Stan the Metal Detector Man for reliable metal detecting help anywhere in Southern California .. Beaches, Parks, Yards, Water, Homes or Cars.. 949-500-2136


*** Jordan called me after leaving Dog Beach at Huntington City Beach, CA. After the family left the beach, his wife realized her phone was missing. They were already at a resturant and could not meet me at the general location until later.

I told him it wasn’t necessary to meet me at the location if he could send GPS co-ordinates of where they had taken photos.

He sent me the GPS co-ordinate numbers and I was able to get to the location to find the cellphone under 4-5” under the sand.

They were still at the resturant when I called him, so I suggested it would be easy for me to deliver the iPhone to him at the resturant.

When I met Jordan he told me I saved their vacation as they would be returning to Utah next week. He was a little camera shy so you have to see my smile.

Im avalailabe to help you soometimesv you do not have to be present for me to do the search.. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.. STAN ..949-500-2136

Lost Ring Central Park NYC… Found!!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
🌳💍 The Central Park Ring
Toss 💍🌳
⁣
Recently, a man in Central Park managed what we can
only describe as a one-in-a-million shot—and not in a
good way. 😅
⁣
While enjoying the day near the Conservatory Garden,
his ring was somehow launched (yes, launched) into
the bushes. But not just any bush—this ring stuck the
landing dead center in a shrub with a perfect circle of
shoots at its base. Think of it like a natural leafy
prison… and the ring was locked inside.
⁣
Enter Greenwood Detecting—and shoutout to Ed
Trapper for tipping us off about this mystery! 👏
⁣
Armed with a trusty detector and a pinpointer, we
carefully scanned, probed, and dodged some overly
enthusiastic squirrels. After a tense half hour and a
LOT of leafy rustling, there it was—the ring, perfectly
wedged in the center of its shoot-jail hideout.
⁣
🎯 Score one for the good guys.
✅ Ring recovered.
🌿 Shrub undisturbed.
🤯 Physics-defying ring toss? Still under investigation.
⁣
Whether it’s a backyard or the middle of Manhattan, if
your jewelry takes an unexpected detour, Greenwood
Detecting is here to bring it back.

Over Mother’s Day weekend, one family was having the
perfect backyard bash—cornhole, playing catch with
the dog, and celebrating the amazing moms in their
lives. But in the middle of all the fun, one dad looked
down and realized his wedding ring had vanished into
the green abyss of his lawn. 😱
Enter Greenwood Detecting! 🕵️‍♂️🔍
Thanks to a heads-up from our friend Ed Trapper
(shoutout and high-five! 👏), we got the call and
headed to the scene. After some careful scanning and
a few suspenseful beeps, we struck gold! The ring was
right there, nestled in the grass exactly where the good
times had been rolling.
✅ Ring recovered.
✅ Crisis averted.
✅ Backyard memories saved.
Another happy ending thanks to the magic of metal
detecting—and a good referral. 😊
