Lost Ring in the brush in Oliver Springs TN

Ring Recovered After Yard Cleanup!

My friend Tyler reached out after losing his wedding ring while clearing thick vines from his fence. As he pulled the vines loose and tossed them into a brush pile, he his ring had slipped off somewhere in the process.
When I arrived, we narrowed the search to the area where the vines had been thrown. The search wasn’t easy because the ring was lying very close to the metal fence, making it difficult to distinguish from the fence signal with my detector. After about 40 minutes of carefully working the area, I switched to my pinpointer and slowly searched along the fence line.
Success! The pinpointer led me right to Tyler’s ring hidden beneath the brush. Seeing the relief on his face made the search worthwhile.
If you’ve lost a ring or other valuable item, don’t give up hope. Many recoveries happen just like this one, and with the right equipment and patience, there’s a good chance your lost item can be found.
It’s always a great feeling to reunite someone with something they thought was gone forever.

Lost ring in yard, Knoxville, TN

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)


I was contacted by Wally to search his yard for a lost ring. Wally has had this ring on for 43 years and never taken it off for any extended period of time. He was in the yard mowing the day he lost it and didn’t notice until he went into the house and his ring was missing. I conducted my search with overlapping searches of his entire front and backyard. The search lasted about three hours and no luck. I was having difficulties around the driveway and sidewalks due to the rebar. Also there was lots of leaves that have fallen making the visual search even harder. I came back the next day determined to find the ring but this time I brought my leaf blower. My thoughts were it could be on the driveway but because of all those leaves I wouldn’t be able to see it. I cranked up the blower and let it idle while I gently blew the leaves away from the driveway. About 10 minutes into my second search i found the ring just off the sidewalk in the mulch of the garden. What luck it was to see it.
