3 Ring Circus!….

….Is how Becki described her Saturday entertainment event. Attractions included 2 dogs, BBQ’s, inground pool, horseshoes, bonfire, volleyball, water balloons, friends dog’s, badminton, toddlers and pre teens wandering about, ect. When it all ended about 3am Sunday morning, she realized her rings were missing. On site today she also remembered that she was carrying food, bags of ice and was greeting people at the fence gate. As I started my grid search with my MXT metal detector I told her I hope she will like my act. She laughed and proceeded to take her children to school. Foot by foot I eliminated areas and for quite awhile I got no signals on the metal detector.

Then I got one, near the deck stairs in the grass. Pinpointing the target and reaching down revealed the white gold ring with the garnets. I left it in place, marked the spot and continued on. About 10 feet away another good signal in the grass revealed the engagement band. Leaving it in place and marking the spot I kept grid searching and 20 feet from the engagement band I got a softer but solid signal, pin pointing in the grass revealed the thin wedding band! As Becki pulled into the driveway and came thru the gate I said step right up don’t be shy, you won’t believe your eyes! As I took her to each location her smiles got bigger and bigger! and even tho her Saturday event wasn’t exactly the big top, she agreed that today was the best show on earth!

Lost Platinum Bridal Set Rings Found In Monroe Michigan

My Hit Turned Double Platinum!

When I got a text from Nicole saying her rings came off somewhere on their large property, we made plans to meet today. She was playing volleyball in the pool and that’s the last time she remembered having the rings on. She was also in the vicinity of the pool performing various chores. They purchased a metal detector and tried to find the rings but no luck. On site today I turned on my MXT metal detector and started to rhythmically search around the pool, lots of hiss and white noise from trash signals came thru on the headphones. Almost completing the loop around the pool I got a great sounding hit in the area where platinum would be on the MXT meter. Using my pinpointer I probed closer to the ground and got a great vibe. Reaching down thru the grass revealed this most beautiful platinum bridal set rings glistening up at me. I held it in the air and flashed a heavy metal sign with my other hand and Nicole raced over to me. Rock n’ Roll we Hi 5 as she reached down and lifted it from the grass and signaled heavy metal back at me while a huge smile was on her face! We both agreed the rings were heavy metal weight wise and even tho I made a double platinum hit with the metal detector, I told her my musical creations will take longer!

sHELL Of A Deal!

Recently engaged Rohan was out enjoying the water with family and friends. While tossing a ball around the ring came off. They searched close to 5 hrs without success. We made plans to meet early today to avoid possible rain.

Using my detector pro headhunter metal detector w/ 12″ coil and snorkel mask it was a breeze to grid search the area thru the clear water. I also enjoyed that there were no trash targets sounding off, so I knew when the ring was detected the confidence was there that it would really be the ring. Moving out into chest high water I noticed a slightly rockier lake bottom and more shells. As Rohan was a ways off practicing with the sand scoop I got a solid signal near the buoy marker. Thru the snorkel mask all I saw was a cluster of shells. I double checked the signal.

Taking a deep breath, I descended to the lake floor. On the way down I turned my pin-pointer on and detected a metal item beneath the shells. Moving the shells aside revealed Rohan’s stunning platinum and gold ring just under the sand! Enjoying the moment I stayed there for another 15 seconds then ascended to the surface.  As I surfaced Rohan turned as I held the ring in the air. As he came closer he looked as if he saw a ghost ship or something! As I placed the ring and the shells in his hand I said hey this was one sHELL of a deal!

When The Gloves Came Off….

….didn’t mean that Edward was ready for a down n dirty brawl, but rather he had just finished wrestling quite a few large diameter downed branches in the high humidity and temperatures today. When he took his work gloves off and sought the cool shadow of a tree he noticed his new wedding band missing. I turned on my MXT metal detector and started a grid search. As I swept the metal detector coil I observed the tall grass bend under the coil with each swing. The ground contained lots of iron and small pieces of foil. Finally I got a good signal in the range on the MXT meter where the ring should be. I used my pin-pointer to probe the grass and as I pulled some grass out of the way this very nice brushed finish gold ring reflected up at me! As I pointed at the ground and counted to 3, Edward ran fast from his corner of the yard and was thrilled that we succeeded in knocking this problem out. Now he was prepared to continue the upcoming sparring with the remaining branches and yard debris.

Lost White Gold Ring Underwater Found On Harsens Island Michigan

Dad’s Island Gold…

….As Nate and his family steered their watercraft towards a quiet and relaxing island, rough waters had them veer off course towards a dock that was reachable. As Nate roped off the boat and stepped off onto the dock his ring slipped off. On site this morning calmer water greeted us. The path from shore to the suspected location led us over slippery rocks but eventually we felt nice firm sand beneath our feet. At a depth of 4 feet or so I started to metal detect a grid search area. Looking thru my scuba snorkel mask I could easily see the metal detector coil as I searched, along with a few mollusks attached to the dock piers and mossy rocks. I was surprised that I didn’t get any junk metal signals by the dock. A few more coil sweeps and I got a good signal. Taking a deep breath, submerging to about 5 feet and reaching into the sand with my pin-pointer revealed this nice white gold ring! As I came up thru the water and surfaced, Nate was excitedly watching as I held his ring into the air! Moving to shallower water, he immediately put it back on, closed his fist and headed for his camera!, along with saying how thankful he was that his ring would not be a permanent resident on the island.

The 7th Wave…..

….As a storm ended a water volleyball game near the edge of a sandbar last Sunday, Sen and his family made their way back to shore in their small watercraft. Upon exiting the boat he noticed his wedding ring missing. Making plans to meet today I was anxiously studying the weather reports. As I loaded my gear the sky was overcast and the wind was picking up. I enjoyed the scent of the lake and the cooling air as we sped towards the suspected location. Upon arriving I quickly noticed the difference in depth of the water. We jumped in and the cooling feel of the water energized and refreshed me. Thru my snorkel mask I could see the bottom quite well and as I started to grid search a few good size bluegill came over to check things out. Shoulder deep in the water it started to roll a bit with the increase in wind. 3 waves went over my head and even with my weight belt on I felt my feet lift from the sandy bottom. My metal detector sounded off on a few targets and they were all junk metal. Moving along the edge of the sandbar I was greeted with 3 more waves as I breathed thru my snorkel. Continuing my grid search I got a good sounding signal, and partially showing thru the sand I saw a silver colored object. Preparing to recover it I was hit once more with a 7th wave, so I took a deep breath and descended down to the object roughly 6 feet deep. Recognizing it as the ring I grabbed it and headed towards the surface. Swimming to where I could stand above water I quickly held up the ring and in excitement Sen moved towards me and was amazed that the ring was recovered! His Dad and brother saw the ring held in the air and steered the boat towards us. On the way back we enjoyed the cool breeze, adventure and success, riding the waves and laughing that it only took 7 waves to find it!

Zero Turn Action…..

….and a cooling breeze from acceleration is what Mark was enjoying while mowing his 1/4 acre property. But somewhere his wedding ring came off while flipping between the mower controls. On site I noticed his visually sharp rows and the scent of freshly cut grass. Using the rows as a guide to grid search, I swung my MXT metal detector coil over the ground with no junk targets or iron riddled soil signaling back. Of all the places to search, I concentrated on the shed area where he was fiddling with the mower. Suddenly a good target rang out thru the headphones. Pin-pointing thru the grass, this very handsome Tungsten ring appeared! Texting Mark to come out to the shed he arrived quickly. Asking if I was on a break from the heat I said no! look down! As he reached down to retrieve the ring he asked ..is this where it was? I said yes and this was the best lawn job I’ve ever done!

Red, White and BOOM!…..

…..Going into her 2nd week of marriage, Amanda’s 2 rings came off while at a fireworks display. She recalled carrying coolers, food and beverages up and down some stairs. Early today they located the smaller of the 2 rings but couldn’t find the larger ring. Feeling red with anger, white with fear and blue of not seeing the ring again I told her on the phone I was up for some high flying fun of a search. Scanning the land that I love, the metal detector rang out with the sound of freedom. When I reached down in the grass, something was sparkling so bright I thought it was a firework… but it was her wedding ring! When she came to the spot and saw her ring, her smile was indeed as bright as fireworks as she displayed her excitement with indepen-dance! We soared high on the great feeling of matching the spirit of the holiday by bringing freedom back to the ring and were thankful we live in the U.S. of Yay! As I departed with a piece of pie on this great 4th of July I said, Keep calm and sparkle on!

A Widows Tale….

…..It had been only 6 weeks since Dottie’s husband of 40 years passed away when his ring she wore in remembrance fell off her finger in the yard doing landscaping. When he was alive it had come off a few times but they were always able to locate it. She thought the ring was either silver or white gold. She borrowed a toy type metal detector and it only augmented the frustration of the massive amount of signals coming in with no way of interpretation. On site she showed me the areas she was where she felt it came off. She went into the house to tend to a few chores thinking I may be awhile. Setting up my MXT metal detector for turn on and go made short work of the loss despite the huge amount of iron signals coming thru. Just a few feet away from the flower beds I got a white gold signal that overloaded the detector sensors! Scraping aside a little dirt and grass revealed the missing ring! As she peeked out the back door I waved for her to come out. Bewildered at what I was pointing at she stooped down for a closer look and couldn’t believe that it was found! Seeing Dottie reach down to pick up the ring and the expression on her face was priceless. Providing closure for her was a great feeling as now she can continue her grieving process in her own way, knowing the ring is where she needs it to be.

James 1:27: Pure and undefiled belief is this, help widows in distress and keep oneself truthful in your actions.

Lost Gold Earring Found In Southfield Michigan

Flipped Out…..

……Is how gymnast Tessa reacted after getting home and discovering one of her sentimental earrings came off after a practice session with her friend at a city park. She pondered if she would ever see the earring again. After she did a layout and an arched body position, flexibility was achieved and what started off as a few pirouettes escalated into Olympic order competition. Cutting to the chase, Tessa executed a handspring, followed with a twist, flip and a flic-flac then reversing directions to the starting point. Moving to another location in the park with less area she repeated the routine. On site I got a read off the other earring and checked the first location as that was where she felt the earring came off. No luck. Moving to the second location my metal detector signaled with a matching meter read. Reaching down into the grass revealed her gold earring! I said hey Tessa look here! As I pointed, she reached down and lifted her earring from the tangled grass. Completely speechless she was and couldn’t believe that it was there. Even tho the Olympics are within reach, for now this is how she has fun doing what she does and achieving personal success.
