Wyatt was tubing down the Republican River in Nebraska, a popular destination for many kayakers and tubers. He geared up for the nearly 5 mile float. Not long after the start, his tube flipped and he lost his phone. It was in a somewhat water proof pouch and quickly disappeared into the swift current of the river. He was upset and rightly so. He vigilantly kept an eye out for it the rest of the trip with no luck…………… Fast forward 20 months and that is where I come in. The Republican river is shut off during the off season and the water level drops significantly but springs still keep it going but at a minimum level. I like to treasure hunt and decided to take my metal detector and go walk the river this nice day in February. I came across his phone in about 8″ of water. I took it home, pulled the sim card and a friend who works for the service provider contacted them with my information. It was a blast being able to return to Wyatt what he thought was lost forever.

Jerry was out goose hunting when all of a sudden it came to a halt. His charging handle on his shotgun had come lose and flew over and behind the blind somewhere. They searched for it in the tall grass for quite sometime with no success. He mentioned he needed someone with a metal detector and his hunting partner recommended me. Leadtime of ordering a new was going to really cut his season short so I met them out there. The rest is history. There is definitely more than one way to put a smile on a face. Always my honor to help someone find their lost item.

Bradley was out with his cousins enjoying the unreasonably warm day in late December. Doing what boys do they grabbed their fishing poles and hit a hole. While sitting there he moved over, accidentally knocking his phone off the ledge and then he watched it slide down before launching into the 38 degree water. He stripped down to his shorts and jumped in. His toes, not touching the bottom in most places, tried to feel for it. After 10-15 minutes he had to give up. He then turned to the web and found me on Theringfinders.com. We met a couple days later and hit it immediately. Always my honor to help put a smile back on a face.

Jessica, Chads wife was going to her car early in the morning to head to work. Yes it has all happened to us. She hit a slick spot, arms went up and she went down. Luckily no injuries but…….now her car won’t start. The only set of keys was in her hand when she went down. Wow, they could be anywhere. Chad, her husband looked many times for them. Luckily after much debate about purchasing a metal detector he found me on the Ringfinders.com…….this was an older part of town with lots of signals, very few shallow. After gridding the area out I then had to start moving other items out of the way to get good signals. Then boom, I hit the panic button and a big smile came to his face. The smile and friendships made are always a blessing to me also.

Josh found me on the Ringfinders.com site. He had lost is wedding ring of one year. He feared, Finley his dog might have ingested it while throwing snowballs to him. He checked the trash and also had done a few other things out back when he was out with Finley. Well Finley doesn’t like brooms so luckily I didn’t have to try and scan him. It was literally the first signal after swinging the manticore. Always my honor to recover such an irreplaceable and sentimental item for people.

After Frank had bought a metal detector and had exhausted all his efforts trying to find his wedding ring that he lost while playing with the dogs, he turned to the internet and we met. We talked about what happened. I started the search. You know, simple grid of the area where he threw the ball and felt his ring come off. Well no ring target for 60’out. Wow…..So he got on his camera and we pulled up him playing with his dogs. Found the part where he felt the ring come off. Then searched again. We then doubted if that is when he actually lost it. We searched the trash and other things he did right before playing with the dogs. All negative. Well my rule of expanding the area was going to have to be enforced. Boom in the other direction, on the other side of the fence I got the signal. I then let Frank use his new metal detector to find the signal and recover his wedding ring of 5 years. He was very thrilled and we were both astonished at where it was finally located. I believe a new treasure hunter was born that day. It was my honor to help Frank. Every search and recovery is a learning experience. Video shows the story.

Jet turbine RC heli recovered Waverly Nebraska

John came across one of my ring finder posts. He saw that I did dive detecting recoveries and wanted to see if I would try and find this turbine heli that went down and he thought it possibly went in a pond as they had searched around it with no results. He even did some detecting in the water but he knew a tight grid was key and I have developed a proven technique. I used to fly giant scale rc so I understand how the depth perception can be very hard to impossible when something goes down. Well before I hit the water I expanded their original search area as walking is easier than diving in pitch black. Well unfortunately I came across it 1 day after the combine did. I was able to detect the area and recover all the parts though. The mystery has been solved after 4 months.

Ashley had lost a very special ring, the first peice of jewelry that her husband had given her. Call it a promise ring if you want. That particular day her fingers felt extra swollen and puffy so she put the ring on another finger after she managed to get it off the regular one. She was very devastated but she was also able to remember details that helped narrow down the area that she lost it in. To me with all my experience it made logical sense, enough that I took the trip. I searched the given area but no ring……. I was then talking with her son Sebastian about what he remembered about that day a few months ago. He got me thinking and I expanded my search area. Boom I got the hit. Now Sebastian was very curious about metal detecting by time I had gotten the signal so I thought of something. I went back and we dug some coin signals together. After a little lesson I took him to the area where I got the ring signal. I gave him my Manticore and told him to swing. Boom the signal nice and loud. He bent down and retrieved the target out of the sandy western Nebraska soil and was able to return his moms ring to her. Wow, money can’t buy moments like this. After some pictures and talking, Sebastian said that he had lost a ring while mowing the ditch this summer. We grabbed some gear and not long after that he had his ring back. Oh the smiles. Its always my honor to help put smiles back on people’s faces.

Tom and Barb have been married for 55 years. When they returned inside after working together on an outdoor project, Tom noticed his gold wedding ring was missing. They searched and searched but could not find it. Tom turned to the internet and eventually came across me. Long story short, after I had searched their property and didn’t find it, I expanded my area to include some of the neighbors close by. Yes, nestled in the river rock under some plants was his ring. Once I got the signal I instantly saw it. This is testament to how goo they can blend in and hide in plain sight. Its always and honor to help people get back such irreplaceable things.

Christian, a horticulture professor at the University was out working the test plots doing the final pickings and tilling when it happened. The thing nobody ever wants to have happen. He looked down and saw his wedding ring was missing. He had been outside all day and it seemed like the chances of finding it was like a needle in a haystack. A fellow professor found me through the ring finders on the web. I met Christian and we began to go over all the areas he was working, the list was long. I started at the most logical placeses first which ended up being the wrong choice on this recovery. As our real estate was quickly getting smaller he would bring up more small but important details. One of thos was something he did first thing in the morning when he got there, clean out the roto tiller. An over 3 hour hunt finally came to an end when I searched that area. As he was cleaning it out he said he was throwing debris off to the side. The rest is history. It’s always my honor to help people get back such irreplaceable and sentimental items.
