I received a text from Haley, a student at the University of Tampa who needed my help locating a promise ring from her boyfriend she lost in Plant Park while laying in the sun with friends the day before.
My wife and I both graduated from UT and we were excited to go back to the campus. We both went to meet Haley and a couple of her friends at the loss location early on a Saturday morning, before most college students were awake.
Haley pointed out the spot where they were on the grass and I got to work gridding the area approximately 20’ by 20’. I covered the area thoroughly with no luck and I could see by Haley’s body language that she was losing hope.
Next, I started expanding the search area and got a nice sounding signal 10-15’ away from the initial search area. It took about 40 minutes, but the ring had been found. Haley was moved to tears and was so thankful to have her ring back!
Unfortunately I forgot to take photos at this recovery, but Haley did send me a photo of the ring afterward.

Men’s Gold & Diamond Wedding Band Recovered in Tampa FL

Item recovered January 15, 2025.

Dustin, a landscaper by trade had lost his wedding ring mowing a customer’s large yard. He wasn’t sure where it had come off, but he spent most of the day on the front and side of the property.

I took a drive to the loss location after work with my largest coil and started moving as quickly as I could with the limited daylight remaining.
I started on the left side of the property working from the driveway to the right in rows covering the front yard. When I reached the end of the house, I changed directions to cover the large side yard working from the road to the back of the property.
I had covered about half of the side yard when it started to become difficult to see, and I had not brought my head lamp with me to continue after dark. Just as I was about to give up for the evening, I hit a smacker of a signal and I could see the ring laying on the ground waiting to be found!

Dustin was visiting his daughter in the hospital after work so I drove there to meet him and make the return in the hospital parking lot.
