Palladium Wedding Found in Double Oak, Texas
We got a call from a wonderful lady that said her husband (a pilot) had lost his ring while working in their front yard. He was standing in a culvert ditch tossing some large rocks from one side of the driveway to the other and felt his ring slid off; he said he heard it “tink” twice but never saw it land. He and his family searched for months looking for the ring without luck. He bought a cheap metal detector himself but without success, his father-in-law came over with another detector but had no luck either. Months past and his wife was playing around on the internet and found “The Ring Finders” website and called us.
We arrived and met with the couple, I truly think the husband felt is was a lost cause. The ring had be lost for over 6 months. With the snowy/wet weather we have had this year he felt it was lost forever.
My wife & I got our Garrett Detectors and went to searching; we checked everywhere the husband said he thought is might be but had no luck. So we went back over to where he stated he had been standing originally when he lost the ring. The ditch was knee deep in leaves, trash, mud and an 18-inch metal pipe that went under their driveway. After scanning over that area many times we decided everything had to come out of the ditch due to way too many hits on trash. So on our hands and knees we began to pull out all the leaves and junk using our Garrett pinpointers to check every handful of trash for the ring. After a short time I saw something shiny and I told my wife “I Got It”. There stuck in the mud, 5-8 inches down in the muck, right where the husband had been standing throwing the rocks was his ring. The “Tinking Sound” he heard must have been the ring hitting the metal culvert not the driveway as he thought. The ring was in great shape.
And for the fun part, we went up to the door and rang the bell, the wife came to the door and she said “No Luck Huh” and we just smiled and I open my hand revealing her husbands “Palladium Wedding Ring”, she said “Oh my gosh, let me go get him” he was thrilled and we had “Another Successful Hunt for the the Dallas Ring Finders”.
God I love this hobby!
Till next time, detectors ON!

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.

In looking at the bathroom we found a small open lip under the cabinet where the kick plate is. It was only a 1-1/2 inch opening that I could not even get my hand into, I got out my 3ft Detection Camera scope and worked it into the slot, nothing at first but on the second side, there in the dark glowing under the light from the camera scope was Les’s Platinum Wedding Band. I said, ‘hey Les, take a look at my detection screen, is that your Ring?’ He was so excited, he and I had to break loose the baseboard under the sink in order to reach it. He hollered for his wife, “they found It, they found it!” Another successful hunt for “The Ring Finders”.
