Diamond Ring Lost for 7 Months Near Cottonwood Heights, Utah- Found

Contact:

I received a call from Sara about her lost diamond wedding ring. Apparently her daughter was playing dress up in the front yard and asked to borrow it. Shortly after coming into the house she told Sara that she had lost it outside. For 6-7 months they search the yard for it and in desperation to find it, she called me. I went over to her house with my son and after getting the rough area to search, went to work. My first signal was a high tone from a brass sprinkler head. At the end of my first pass, I got a nice 8-11 on my detector that was pretty close to the surface. After pulling back the grass a little bit, I could make out the edge of something. Sure enough it was her ring that had been lost for nearly 7 months. The whole experience was under 5 minutes and she was sure excited to see her ring again!

Lost Diamond Wedding Ring Near Ogden, Utah- Found

Contact:

Received a call from a couple after searching for their beautiful diamond wedding ring while working in the yard. They were out planting flowers and getting the house ready to list. Losing the wedding ring couldn’t have come at a worst time and knowing how fast houses move on the market in Utah, I made it a priority to get there as soon as possible. I arrived the next evening with my daughter and went on looking for the ring. I covered the entire area they thought it would be but no luck. We opened up the trash cans and went through the trash just to make sure. I decided to try one more time and literally close to the last piece of lawn, I got a very iffy signal that was a lot lower then what I was expecting for a gold ring. Much to my surprise, it was the ring. My daughter quickly yelled out “The Ring” and ran over to give it to them. So happy I was able to recover this one and so happy I got to spend a little time with my daughter doing it!

Lost Crypto Wallet Found in the Snow Near Bear Lake, Utah

Contact:

One of my first calls of 2025 was from a friend (Jimmy) who had a man from his coaching group lose his phone while out sledding in a remote part of Utah. Phones can be replaced but what made this one so important was that it contained a photo of his crypto keys to access his crypto wallet. The man had a good portion of his net worth in that crypto wallet so getting the phone back was  a must. What made this recovery challenging is that it was in an area with extreme temperatures know as the sinks. When I arrived the next morning to start searching, it was -10 degrees Fahrenheit. I was concerned my detector would freeze up but Minelab makes a good detector. The search area was roughly a half mile and the slope of the hill made it very difficult. After several hours of searching, no phone 🙁

I returned two more times over the winter to try to recover the phone. The last known ping from the phone was near the highway but given the area has no service, it was unclear if it was accurate. Finally over Memorial day weekend, I took my daughter and a trash bag to clean up trash on the sledding hill. Since there was no snow, I didn’t feel the detector would be needed and boy was I right. After about an hour and about 600+ feet from where the last known ping from the phone, there it was!!! It was found 4 months to the day it was lost!!! I took it home, put it in some silica gel beads as I have done with other electronics in the past and delivered it to my friend Jimmy to send out to the man in Oregon. I am confident they will get it to work again so he can get access to his crypto wallet in the near future! What an Adventure!!!

Lost Gold Wedding Band Found- Ogden Utah

Contact:

It was late in the evening and Lee was working to get some vegetation planted on his slope behind his house to prevent erosion. He only had an hour of sun left so he was hurrying as fast as he could. After finishing, he went to wash his hands and notice his gold wedding ring that he had been wearing for the last 37.5 years was missing. He reached out me for help but I was traveling for work at the time. His neighbor offered to come search the area with his metal detector but was unsuccessful. We made plans for me to come search when I was back in town and upon arriving at his house, he showed me the area to search. I dare say it took all of about 4 minutes to get a signal that turned out to be his ring! As you can see by the picture, Lee & his dog were happy to see the ring again! Check out the full recovery on Youtube!

Lost Titanium Wedding Ring Found- Salem, Utah

Contact:

I received a call from a man who was working construction near Salem, Utah. They were putting in a large underground pipe system and his hands got dirty so he went to wash them off. While he was doing that, he put his beautiful titanium ring with turquois inlay in his vest pocket. After returning to work, he realized he never put his ring back on and upon checking his pocket, it was gone. They searched the area with a metal detector and for a last resort he reached out to me for help. They were about to fill in that section of the pipe system so I knew I had very little time.

When I arrived, the recent warm weather turned the area into a very muddy construction site. I searched all over the area he thought it could be and then I went down into the area that they dug out. I cleared some trash from the area to ensure I could get all the signals. Fortunately, right next to the valve where he was working, I found his beautiful ring. His wife had joined him that day and they had just barely returned from getting food when I was able to surprise both of them with the ring. Check out their reactions on my YouTube Channel!

Lost Wedding Ring Up Big Cottonwood Canyon- Found

Contact:

This was actually my last recovery of 2023. I received a call from a couple that was visiting from Florida. They were finalizing all their wedding plans and were preparing to fly back to Florida to get married on New Year’s Eve. They went up Big Cottonwood Canyon to take pictures when he realized his ring was missing. It was a beautiful silver ring with an opal stone.

We made plans to meet the following day to search the area where they had taken pictures. He provided me with some very good intel on possible areas to search. They were staying at a relative’s house about an hour away so I was able to get to the  location before they did and I quickly started to search. The snow was not deep and since silver is usually such a high tone, I quickly focused on signals in that range. In about 5 minutes, I had located the ring! They pulled up and I was able to surprise him with the ring! It’s always awesome to see the stress go away when presenting that lost item to someone. They sent me pictures of them getting married just a few days later! Congrats on a beautiful wedding! Check out the full adventure below!

Lost Wedding Ring Found After a Year at the Bottom of the Lake- Provo, Utah

Contact:

I received a call from a woman who had lost her wedding ring in Utah lake. The only issue was that she lost it in August of 2022 when the lake was 47% full. With the great snow year we had here in Utah, the lake is currently 87% full. She was walking on the rocks when she made a quick move to catch herself and the ring flew off her finger into the water. Utah lake is a shallow lake and because of that, the visibility is less than 6 inches. I decided since I would not be able to see in the water to set my discrimination on my minelab equinox to only get signals from 9-13. I used a couple of rocks for markers from where she sent me pictures of where she was standing. I tried my best to grid back and forth picking up a few lead sinkers and then I finally got a decent hit on the detector. I took my glove off to feel for the item and immediately realized it was a ring. Could it be her ring? After returning to the surface I looked down and sure enough it was!

After almost 14 months at the bottom of the lake, It is back where it belongs! So happy for you Melanie and thanks for reaching out to me!

Another Apple Watch Proactively Returned to Owner- Utah

Contact:

I have spent almost 10 hours under the water looking for a lost ring for a gentleman who lost it the day after he got married. Every time I have dove in the area, I have found other items to return. So far I have returned two apple watches and an iphone 13 from that location. On my last dive, I found 7 apple watches in the area but only 3 would turn on after being dried out for a week in a bag of rice. Of the three, only one had medical ID information which lead me to the owner who lived out of state. I love proactive recoveries cause most people have given up ever seeing their items again. She was so grateful to me for reaching out and sending her lost item as she was preparing to buy another apple watch!

Make sure to fill out your medical ID info on your wearables, you may never know when it might come back to you!

After 51 Days in the Lake, Found Owner of Apple Watch Ultra Near Kamas, Utah

Contact:

After my last post where I dove down to find a lost apple watch and came back with 10 total apple watches, I started to dry them all out and see which ones would charge. Now the thing with apple watches is that if they have a medical ID info or are not locked, I can usually find the owner. I have returned 3 proactively over the last year. After drying them out for almost a week, only 3 powered back on and only one had the medical ID information. I was able to find the contact information and reached out with a short clip from my dive and letting them know I had found their apple watch. I was surprised to find out that the apple watch in question had been in the water for 51 days!!! It was an apple watch ultra and was lost while on a backpacking trip in the mountains. He had tried to find someone that would scuba dive to find it but gave up hope. It was so awesome to meet up with him and return it! Please check out the second half of the video to see this happy reunion!

Lost Apple Watch in the Lake Near Kamas, Utah- Found

Contact:

I received a call from a gentleman who had just lost his apple watch that day in a lake above Kamas, Utah. The lakes in the area are well over 10,000 feet elevation making the water extremely cold. After seeing a few videos and explaining where to look, I made the 1.5 hr drive to the location. I then had to hike about a mile to get to the lake with over 60 lbs of equipment to dive. After getting set up, I could see that the clouds were rolling in so I decided to get in and get out as fast as possible. I was looking for a white band apple watch so it should stick out. Well it just so happened I stumbled into an apple watch graveyard cause after about 20 minutes, I came up with 10 apple watches, 2 sun glasses, and 2 other watches. Fortunately one of the 10 apple watches was his!!!

Later that night, we were able to meet up and after a stressful 24 hours, he had his apple watch back on his wrist! Hopefully I can find a few of the owners to the other 9 apple watches!
