Lost Wedding Band Recovered Minnesota Metal Detector
The local Waconia newspaper was gracious enough to to a story on Team Finders and the Ring Finders last week. After reading the article, Stacy thought she would give us a try as her husband Bob had lost his Gold Diamond Wedding Band 4 years ago while raking and piling leaves in their compost pile. I went over to their house, only about a mile away -Which is very nice for a change. Usually I am traveling all over the State. Bob & Stacy showed me the area they were raking and where the compost pile was. It was actually a lightly wooded area which was easy to swing my detector through. I was searching and finding the usual suspects…..Pull tabs, foil, cans etc. I had covered the whole area we thought it would be and I decided to expand my search out another 10 feet or so. Right away I got a nice strong hit, I moved the top brush away with my shoe and i could see a ring. As I bent down closer, I could see it was exactly how Stacy had described it, A birds feather was lying right through the ring. Congrats on getting your Wedding band back Bob, thanks to Stacy for contacting me and thanks to the Waconia Patriot for writing the article on us.

We received an email from a very nice lady stating that her husband’s small pocket knife was lost in their yard. We thought it was a little unusual to get a call on a knife but we are always excited to help people . As we talked further we found out that the family had gone out and cut down 2 Christmas Trees this year and had strapped them to the top of the family SUV. Upon arriving at home the father had pulled out his very special 3″ knife that his wife had given to him as a gift on their wedding day. He used it to cut the rope holding the Christmas Trees to the SUV and then gave it to his oldest 10yr old daughter Ally to cut the other side. She cut the rope and put the knife in her top pocket of her jacket and helped her dad and sisters drag the 2 trees into the house. After getting the trees inside, she realize the knife was no longer in her pocket. After 3 days of searching the 3″ thick grass cover in large leaves they had nearly given up. 10yr old Ally was heart broken at losing her daddy’s special knife. 
Update-Case Closed Ring Found
I was recently contacted by Ms. Walker from College Station, Texas regarding a lost 2011 Texas A&M class ring. Ms. Walker was not exactly sure of where she lost her ring, but knew it was missing after an exhaustive search of her home and car.
