Late Friday, I received a call from Dustin, who had lost a precious silver medallion. He had been wrestling with a friend in his front yard when he felt his necklace snap. He found the broken chain, but the silver medallion—a special gift from his girlfriend—had disappeared into the thick grass. I told him I’d be right over.
As I drove, I prayed that God would guide me to Dustin’s keepsake.
We met at a nearby bowling alley, and I followed him to the house. He showed me the matching ring to the medallion, then pointed to the area of thick St. Augustine grass where they had been wrestling.
I fired up the Minelab Manticore and began searching near the road before working my way toward the driveway. Nothing but deep targets. Thinking the medallion might have flown farther than expected, I moved deeper into the yard.
Then came a beautiful signal—85 to 90.
I reached down with my pinpointer and carefully worked through the dense grass roots until a flash of silver appeared. As I lifted it free, the diamonds sparkled in the afternoon sun. Dustin’s smile said it all.
Praise God—another treasured keepsake was back where it belonged.
Lost something important? Maybe I can help. I’m Ed Duffey, a Central Florida metal detecting specialist focused on recovering lost items. Whether it’s a ring, jewelry, keys, or even a phone, I search beaches, parks, yards, and shallow water—just about anywhere it might be hiding.
If it’s metal and it’s lost, there’s a good chance I can find it.
