I got a text from Andrew in Chapel Hill about his lost wedding ring. He’d been playing football with his son in the yard and while practicing a long snap (picture the guy who hikes it to the punter), his ring flew off. He knew exactly when it happened and where, but didn’t know where the ring had gone. In the month since he’d lost it, Andrew had bought an inexpensive metal detector to try and find it himself, but had not found the ring, which is when he called me. After he showed me where and how the ring came to be lost, I searched for about 90 minutes with no luck. I took my own ring, tied a bright orange string to it, and asked Andrew to come out and snap the football several times wearing my ring so I could see where his ring might have gone. After several snaps, we had a good idea of where the ring should have been – unfortunately, the ring wasn’t there. I widened my search area quite a bit and after another hour or so, found the ring almost 90 degrees to the left of where we thought it should have landed.
Andrew and his wife have an anniversary coming up soon and he’s glad he’ll have his ring back where it belongs for that special day. Another happy ending!

I received a call from a nice couple in Fuquay-Varina (about 15 miles from the house) asking me to help find the wife’s wedding ring. The husband said it was in the back yard, which should have been an easy recovery. When I got there, he showed me where the ring had gone: down a briar-covered hill, behind the back yard. Although they were certain about the direction the ring had gone, they didn’t have a guess on how far it might have traveled. Given that, I started at the top of the hill, working my way down, fighting the briars. After maybe an hour of “briar fighting”, I had reached the bottom of the hill, but still no ring. I decided to walk even further out and start to work my way back towards the house, hoping I wouldn’t have to re-search the hill. As soon as I reached what I had chosen as my furthest point, I found the ring easily.
When I climbed back up the hill and returned the ring to the wife, she burst into tears. It’s always good to be able to recover and return a ring, but this one was extra special – another happy ending!

I was cleaning the gutters, not wearing gloves (lesson learned) and as I threw the debris, my wedding ring slid off my finger and went with the debris into an area of Ivey. In that environment, it was like 
looking for a needle in a haystack. Jeremy Roth of Ringfinders to the rescue. He found the ring along with a few other items overgrown by the ivey. Just in time to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary!
Zack and Yasmine contacted me via the Ring Finders directory after losing a beautiful gold ring several weeks earlier. They were enjoying the first snowfall of the year on the campus of the University of Delaware in Newark, DE when her ring came up missing. The ring, which was originally her mothers, flew off her finger during a snowball fight. Yasmine distinctly felt the ring come off during a throw and despite searching several times she and Zack could not find it. I met them on campus and they had the good sense to remember the precise area where the snowball fight occurred. I started the search with my Minelab Manticore metal detector(15 inch coil) in the area she was standing when she made the throw and used a grid pattern to cover the 25 square yard area. When i didn’t find on my first scan of the area I expanded my search area and started to cover a wider area. A gold ring on the surface has a very distinct and unique signature on a metal detector and I was hyper focused on just that signal when BOOM! I got the signal I was hoping for…I looked down…I didn’t even have to bend down…there on the surface was her beautiful gold ring!!! I called Zack and Yasmine over and pointed down…the happiness on their faces made my day!



Yesterday afternoon, I received a call from Lynn inquiring about my assistance in locating her vehicle key fob, which her son misplaced while shoveling snow on the driveway.
After inquiring with Lynn, I agreed to visit her and search for the key fob in the snowbank. Upon arrival, I observed that the snowbank was approximately four feet high, and the driveway was not its usual size. Within five minutes, I discovered the key fob atop the snowbank. Lynn informed me that she believed the keys had fallen to the bottom of the snowbank, making it impossible for her son to retrieve them. I clarified that this was not the case, as the recent snowfall and her son’s shoveling activity had caused the keys to be within a few inches of the top of the bank.
Lynn expressed immense gratitude for my assistance in retrieving her key fob. She informed me that the dealership had requested over $800.00 for its replacement.

This young man called me up saying he lost his wife’s 18k gold engagement ring! I’m thinking to myself, “HOW DID YOU LOSE IT?!?” I said ok tell me what happend..
Story goes, It was getting dark, they were on a walk enjoying spending time together. It was cold, they were horsing around and she was afraid of losing her ring so she takes it off and puts it on her thumb to slid it into her husband’s shirt pocket for “SAFE KEEPING”!! A few mins later he did something to cause her to chase him and he stumbles and falls down a slope. He didn’t think anything about it until he realized he lost his watch. Then he checked his shirt pocket, and his heart sank, the ring wasn’t there!!!!
He called me up and I shot over in the dark. He wasn’t 100% sure where he fell so I was scanning about 50 yards of possibilities. Lots if signales and sadly I didn’t find it that night. I advised him to try and find his watch during the day and to try and narrow the search area a little.
The next day he goes back to site and finds his watch. It was just about dark again and rain was coming in on Saturday. So I told him I’ll be there first thing Sunday morning!
I arrive, get my gear and we walk over to where he found his watch. I set my machine to 40-61 range, because the ring looked very thin. I didn’t find it, so I changed my range to VDI 40-72. BOOM! Got a 62 and there it was just under some dirt!!!
I love helping people find lost items! It makes my heart happy and to see the joy, happiness and relief on their face!
