I received a text from Mike who stated he had been cleaning his gutters and thought that he lost his wedding ring when tossing the debris in his yard. We talked and I made arrangements to head out and search the area. Upon arrival we talked and he was not sure if it would be in the front or back and also that he had cut the grass and mulched up the debris from the gutters. That concerned me because I thought that the ring could have been launched by the mower however he said that he did not have the side chute open. I felt a little better that it might be in yard. He also said he ran down to the store and bought a cheap metal detector but was unable to find his ring. I told him that was actually pretty common and I was glad he called me. He said the ring was tungsten.

I started my search and about a third of the way through the front yard I got a good hit. I parted the grass and there was his ring – sweet! Then when I pulled it out I realized it was only part of the ring. I asked Mike if that was it and he said yes. I felt bad that it was only half. He was good with knowing what happened and having half the ring back. I checked the remainder of the yard and was unable to locate the other half. He informed me that he wears tungsten because of work and that it was supposed to break under pressure so he understood. I had never heard that before and would not recommend testing that theory. However, he was very glad to have closure and said he would try to grind the edges and have it put on a chain. This was the first time I have only recovered a part of a ring. While I was bummed that it had broke I was glad to have saved a piece of his original ring and that he was planning on modifying it so he could continue to wear it. As always – it was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client.

So…I had just left my last customer to check out a lead on a place to metal detect when I received a phone call for another lost ring. This was wild because business had been pretty quiet lately. So I spoke to Jim who told me he lost his ring just a short time ago cutting his lawn. He sent me his address and as luck would have it he was only about 20 minutes away.

I arrived at Jim’s house and I was feeling much better about locating his ring. He had just lost it in his backyard and stopped mowing immediately. I grabbed my equipment and got started. While I had a lot less area to search it seemed to take me forever after finding the last one so quickly. In reality it took me about 10-15 minutes and I located it hiding in the cut grass. Jim was extremely grateful to have his wedding ring back and I was happy to help. As always it is great to meet nice and generous people like Jim and have a positive outcome!

I received a text from Josh that his wife had lost a very special stud earring in their backyard. She had been outside holding a child when the earring was dislodged from her ear. I told him that I would be more than happy to come out and look for it.

I was a bit nervous as I had only been out searching for an earring once before and struck out. Everyone says earrings and small chains are pretty difficult. I arrived and Josh showed me the area. He had got a detector and searched himself to no avail. I got started and almost immediately I got a good sound even though it was a bit sketchy. I took out my pinpointer and there hidden in the grass was the earring. I think I was almost as surprised as Josh at how quickly things worked out. It was a nice recovery and as alway it was good to meet another kind and generous client!

One Cooooool(d) Find! Lost key fob – Found in Harrison City, PA (near Pittsburgh)

I received a text from Brenda asking if I could look for her key fob which was lost in the snow. Her husband had been shoveling the driveway the day before and it fell out of his hoodie pocket. She did know if it was in the snow around the driveway or down in the sewer at the end of the driveway.

It was a balmy 18 degrees on the car thermometer when I arrived…almost warm enough for shorts and to work on my tan. I got straight to work and did not find much of anything…a piece of foil, a paperclip, and some type of tiny pieces of what looked like a chain but no key fob. The driveway was a problem as there metal all around the perimeter, so much so that I set down the machine and took out my pin pointer and checked the entire area with it.

After about an hour Brenda came out and was very disappointed I was unable to locate it. We talked for a few minutes and I told her at some point they might find it after the snow melted if it was not in the sewer. As we were talking she informed me with that being the only key fob for the car the dealership would have to remove the computer to make a new key and it was going to be an eye-popping amount of money. She thanked me for coming out and gave me my travel fee and a bit extra (very kind but not necessary). I decided that on my way out I would look one more time…I made it back up to the area of the steps that lead to the side of the house where I had found the foil earlier. I had another sound, guessing it was more foil I reached back in. Low and behold I found the key fob.

I went to the porch and rang the doorbell and returned the key fob to Brenda. I was relieved to have found it which would save her a pile of money and aggravation and she was just so thankful. I am glad I checked again and I had thought I had done a very thorough search prior to finding it, but I had to remind myself of one of the cardinal rules of metal detecting – always go back over your hole to make sure there is nothing else in it. I guess that holds true even in the snow! I was happy to be able to help and as always it was nice to meet another kind and generous person like Brenda.

I was contacted by Tom who lost his ring doing yard work. He was throwing some sticks and vegetation over an embankment when his ring went flying. We made arrangements and I went out to see what I could find. It was not too bad of an area to search with a lot of leaves, trees and grass clippings. I started to look and did not find it where Tom thought it might be. I then started to expand my search area. Tom in his kindness gathered some of the sticks and things and moved them into a pile a short distance from where he thought his ring would be found before I had arrived. I then went through that pile of stuff and beyond. It was on the other side of the items that Tom had cleaned up hoping to give me a better chance at finding it. He could not believe how far the ring actually traveled. I was happy to have recovered the ring and Tom was elated to have it back. Another successful day for another kind and generous client.

This one starts out with the proverbial “needle in the haystack”…. I received a text from a client who was at a pumpkin patch and her husband had just lost his wedding band playing in a hay area. While looking for the ring a nearby patron said hey – my mom lost her ring a while back and a guy came out and found it…let me get you his number (thank you for the referal – small world!!). So unfortunately I was unable to head out that night, luckily the farm was closing soon and the clients had secured permission for me to come out first thing in the morning.

I went out the next morning and met Jennifer and Brian who showed me where the ring was lost. There was a large shed with hay bales stacked up and hay all over the floor. I began to search right way…I was told I could search but only until they opened. It was a very rainy day and I was informed I could take my time because of the weather. Fortunately it was not long when I hit that sweet sound of a gold wedding band.

Brian and Jennifer were surprised as to where it was located when I found it. It was on the opposite side from where they had been looking. I was happy to return his wedding band and as always it is great to meet kind and generous people. Also – a big shout out to Hozak Farms for allowing me to come out and search for the ring – Thank you!

Metal Detecting Service – Lost Ring In Car- Found- Pittsburgh, PA

I received a text from Cathy that she had lost her mother’s ring in her car and asked me to call her. I called her and she said her ring fell off in the car and she could not find it. She saw it go flying back behind the driver’s seat. It has been a while since she lost it and had vacuumed the car and searched to no avail. She said their last night in Myrtle Beach on vacation she ran into a member of the ring finders who told her about us and what we do. He did not have a scope with him so he told her to check the website when she got back.

I went out the same day, got there and started to look under the driver’s seat immediately since it was the last place the ring was seen. I started checking the vents when I noticed the carpet under the vents was loose. I then started to check under the carpet, it was a few minutes later I found what I thought to be Cathy’s ring. I know that sounds a bit crazy but in full disclosure this was only my second time using an endoscope and I am finding out that things can look a bit different or deceiving. I asked Cathy to look and she said yes because she recognized the design. Then I realized…finding it in the car is only half the battle…you have to retrieve it too. I informed Cathy that I would try to get it out but if I could not she might have to seek a mechanic. Luckily her husband was able to put the seat the whole way up and I was able to get a hold of it. It was a bit touch and go because it was tight and I didn’t want to drop it and have the ring go further down into the car, but in the end I got it out!! Cathy was so happy to have her ring back as it meant so much to her since it had belonged to her mother. I was glad I was able to help. It was truly a pleasure to meet such kind and generous people like Cathy and her family. It was also great to get my FIRST find using an endoscope.

P.S. – If you are still reading this there are a few people I want to thank in addition to Cathy for calling me. First I’d like to thank the unknown ring finder in Myrtle Beach or else I would not have had this opportunity. Then our fellow ring finder, Rod Greene…he lent me his scope (don’t worry I am getting my own…lol). I know this might sound like an Oscar or Grammy speech but I am almost done…LOL. I also want to thank fellow ring finder Brian Rudolph. The first time I was out searching a car I reached out to Brian because he has tons of success. Although that search did not pan out he gave me some good pointers and encouragement to keep searching cars. So thanks to all you guys for your help and support!!

I received a text from Shannon asking me if I could come out and look for her husband Luke’s wedding ring. Shannon said her husband had contacted me a few months ago to look for his ring in the snow but they had found it before I was able to get there. This time he was working in the yard when it came off. We made arrangements and the next day I went out. Shannon showed me a relatively small area next to the house and I started to look. I cleared the first area and started to expand my search when I located the ring. It was a few feet outside the section they had been concentrating on and was under a small flower. Shannon was happy that I found the ring and was not very surprised as she was confident I would locate it from the onset. I was glad that I was able to make the recovery and as always – it a pleasure to meet kind and generous people like Shannon.

I received a text from Christina asking if I could look for her husband’s gold wedding band. They were not sure but thought it could have been lost in the yard a few days prior when they were doing some yard work. I drove out later that afternoon and met Christina and her husband Kurt. They showed me where he had been working in the yard and I got to work. I checked about half of the area when I hit a pretty good sound…only to find a nail. However, following the cardinal rule of always checking the hole again I got another good sound and this time I struck gold! I pulled out the ring and asked Christina to come outside. She could not believe that I found the ring and I gave it to her to return to her husband. Kurt was very happy to have his ring back. Not knowing for sure if it was in the yard it was definitly a nice surprise for all of us. As alwasy – it was great to meet kind and generous people and be able to return the lost ring!

I got a call from Mike that he was removing some trash from in front of his house when his ring flew off his finger. Mike said that he and some of the neighbors had searched the area but were unable to find it and he thought maybe it went into the sewer. It was Good Friday and I was planning on heading to church in a little bit so I was hesitant to head out until after mass however, my wife convinced me to go and help Mike – maybe that was my calling for the day. So I told Mike I would be right out and about an hour later I arrived. Looking at where the sewer was compared to where he had been standing when he lost his ring I was thinking that would be one heck of shot and some really bad luck if it went into the sewer, so I had my doubts it went in there. I began my search, checking the most logical place which was the neighbor’s yard across the street and I came up empty so I went back over in front of Mike’s house. After scanning the front yard I moved to the lower side of the driveway where there was a slight drop off to the grass and BAM! there it was. Mike was very surprised at where I had found it in relation to where he had lost it. He and his wife were ever so grateful. The nice thing about a semi-quick find like this was I got to spend a bit of time talking to Mike afterwards. As always – it is great to meet kind and generous people like Mike and his wife and be able to return his lost ring! And I was really glad my wife talked me into going out sooner than later…there is only one Easter miracle but this was definitely a blessing!
