Saving Caden’s Texas A&M Ring, Galveston, Texas
Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered from Galveston Waters – A Technical Dive by Houston Metal Detecting Services
Caden reached out to Houston Metal Detecting Services after losing his Texas A&M class ring at a friend’s family home in Galveston. While relaxing on a second-story dock overlooking the bay, the ring slipped from his hand and vanished into about 10 inches of water below.
What seemed like a shallow loss quickly turned into a technical challenge. The area beneath the dock was a zero-visibility environment—murky water, soft silt, and tight spaces between barnacle-covered pilings. Standard searching wasn’t going to cut it.
We arrived prepared with full underwater SCUBA gear and a custom-built grid system tailored for blind recoveries in tight and murky environments. With the grid in place, we conducted a methodical underwater search by feel and metal detector tone—sweeping slowly and thoroughly to avoid missing anything in the muck.
Roughly 40 minutes into the dive, we got a clean, solid signal. Reaching down into the soft sand, we located the ring—Caden’s Texas A&M class ring, buried but unharmed.
Seeing the relief and excitement on Caden’s face as we handed the ring back made every moment underwater worth it. It was more than just a ring—it was a piece of Aggie pride, and a memory now saved.

Hey John, Mike McInroe here in sunny Florida and I see you have recovered another chunky ring! Seem to get allot of those, hey? And I see you have devised an attachment to your underwater grid…the pole sticking up from the center. How does that work for you? Keep up the good work and again I want to thank you and Chris Turner for the gift you gave him that he passed on to me! I love that scoop and use it all the time and it does not leave a red mark on my shoulder after hours of carrying it on the beach! Take care my friend, Mike McInroe
