Ray with stick showing depth
On the last day of April, Scotty was fishing off the end of a pier when his new wedding band slipped into the water. He quickly noted where the ring had dropped in relation to the wooden structure. Because I was not available to search, I asked my friend Ray Jones to help. The depth off the fishing platform is about neck deep, depending on the tide. In spite of a current and low visibility, Ray was able to remove many misleading targets consisting of lead weights, fishing lures, coins, and other items. Even though he was wearing a wetsuit, Ray was unable to remain in the cold water and called off the search for that day.

I joined Ray for the next search. Because of conflicting schedules and storms, we were not able

to meet until June 2nd. I was the lucky one to find the ring, but it was truly a team effort.

For my detecting friends, the Tantalum ring had a 23 VDI on my Equinox with a Coiltek 10X5.
Don’t give up. Many of my clients have bought, borrowed, or rented a metal detector before calling me. Just because someone has a tool, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it. I use state of the art equipment, and I have thousands of hours of experience searching on land and underwater. If you have tried using a detector without success, please call to see if I can help

Glad to have another happy customer. An heirloom to stay in the family 🙂 She sends this nice note :
return to the east coast with their rings.
Night before last I got a call from Lacey asking if I could come find her sister Nichole’s lost James Avery charm bracelet in the sand at the beach. She had placed it in her chair cup holder, but apparently forgot and dumped it out when picking it up to put it away. It was very sentimental to her, as she told me she had been adding charms to it for several years. It was rather late and I was 45 minutes away so I promised I would come early the next morning. I arrived and was relieved to see that they were renting a vacation house directly on a small private beach. They had marked off a square where they thought it might be so I set off carefully gridding the area with my Equinox 800. Within minutes, I got a signal that was much deeper than I expected a fresh drop to be and definitely not as loud as I would have thought. First scoop – nothing. Second scoop – nothing. Third scoop – and there was her shiny silver bracelet sparkling in the dry sand. Nichole happily placed it back on her wrist and gave me a hug. I (as always !) turned down her offered reward and asked only for a picture of her smiling – the best reward ever !
Late Saturday afternoon I got an urgent call from Tara’s husband stating his wife just lost her engagement ring while swimming in the water. Given the remnants of wind and waves produced by the passing tropical storm (Alex), a safe and effective search wasn’t immediately possible. Well, after about 3 hours of searching the following afternoon, the desired target was found, safely in the scoop…not a “silver ring” but an absolutely gorgeous 14k white gold diamond engagement ring, actually two rings combined into one. The story continues, the ring being on the finger it belongs. No coincidences in Gods kingdom, just appointments. Much to be thankful for 🙏🏻🎉👍🏻 Remember, it’s only lost until you call…Mark!!!
