On April 28th. 2026 I received a call from a very nice lady named Paula. She had lost her beloved 14K gold brooch on Sunday, April 26th, most likely at her church. The brooch was the most sentimental item that she had received from her late husband, so to her it was priceless. Paula had already alerted the church staff to be on the lookout for her brooch inside the church buildings.
I met with Paula at her church about one hour after receiving her call. She showed me the route that she walked from the entry doors of the church to where she had been parked. I found a gold earring along the path, concealed in the grass, but not Paula’s brooch. Paula turned the earring into the lost and found in the church reception area. Paula asked me help her look inside the church, just to get a fresh pair of eyes to visually search the floors. No luck inside the church.
Once outside, Paula asked if I’d follow her to her friend’s house a few minutes drive away so I could use my metal detector along the path to her friend’s front door. I agreed to the search at her friend’s house, but asked if I could search her vehicle first. She assured me that she had searched her vehicle thoroughly and did not find the brooch. Using my digital borescope I searched under and around the driver’s seat and located Paula’s brooch tucked away, completely hidden from the naked eye. I showed her the screen with the live image of her brooch and she cried tears of joy. When I handed Paula her beautiful brooch she gave me the biggest hug and said, “You made my day! No, I take that back. You made my whole year!” It’s a wonderful feeling to re-unite nice people like Paula with their treasures that they thought were gone forever.
I was on my way back from spending a great weekend camping in Gunnison, Colorado when I got a call from a young man who’s wife lost her wedding band at Boulder reservoir. He had said they were spending a family day on the beach when she took her ring off to put on sunscreen. It was when they were leaving they realized she did not have her ring on. 
Andrew called asking about locating his wedding ring he lost in the bay the night before. We talked for a while and he was positive of the location the ring popped of while catching a football. He said it was in chest deep water, and he had pictures of exactly when it came off. I met him at the house a few hours later, got my gear together, and we walked out to the spot. Well, the water was quite rougher and deeper than it was the prior evening, but we continued the search with no luck, as he stood in the exact spot he said it flew off. After 2 hours we threw in the towel, and decided to resume searching in the morning at low tide. I brought my weight belt to hold me down, and a buoy to mark the spot. After about an hour I got a strong signal that turned out to be his ring. Turns out it was closer to chin/shoulder deep where it was lost, and low tide with no boat traffic allowed me to get his ring in my scoop in roughly 5′ of water. Definitely one of the more challenging recoveries, due to the water depth, and not being able to see my equipment on the bottom. Andrew and his wife were totally amazed.
