New Haven CT Channel 8 news meeting CT’s own Treasure Hunter August 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

I was asked to be interviewed by Ann Nyberg a celebrated and award-winning anchorperson for Channel 8 news in CT. We discussed my start in detecting 37 years ago, my membership in three CT clubs Nutmeg Treasure Hunters, Yankee Territory Coin shooters, and Southern New England Relic Hunters and most recently my membership in the @theringfinders,com organization. Ann asked my favorite find over the years and there’s been so many that it was hard to choose just one. But I chose a very meaningful one for me that was about a young boy losing his heirloom Grandfathers ring in the ocean and giving up hope until his mother contacted me and after three tries of narrowing the location where he had been playing catch in the ocean and using his hand drawn treasure map , I was able to locate the ring. His mother cooked a meal for our club, and we awarded the ring back that night and she honored me with a beautiful St Anthony medal.

Swiss Visitor’s Ring Recovered at Thornbury Beach Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

It’s always rewarding to help someone turn a stressful moment into a happy memory , especially when it happens in a beautiful place like Thornbury , Ontario.

We recently got a call from a couple visiting all the way from Switzerland. They were staying at a lakefront home, enjoying some well-deserved time by the water. While applying sunscreen at the beach, she had taken off her rings and slipped them into her pocket — but as many of us know, that’s often how these little treasures go missing.

Later, while sitting at the beach, she noticed one of the rings glinting in the sand. Relief quickly turned to panic when she realized there were supposed to be three — and one was still missing.

They searched everywhere but couldn’t find it. That’s when we got the call.

After a three-hour drive to Thornbury, we arrived with our metal detecting gear and got to work. Thankfully, it didn’t take long — within minutes, we located the missing ring buried in the sand, not far from where they had been searching.

The look of relief on their faces made the drive more than worth it. It’s a great reminder that even when something feels lost for good, the right tools and a little experience can bring it back.
