Success! The Bristol Rec Department reached out to me about assisting them locating 24 corners they put in last year for their soccer fields. They installed screw pins with white whiskers to help with making each year laying out the lines a breeze but a summer of mowing they did not stand up to the test of time. The 4 smaller fields didn’t take much time at all to locate but the mid-sized field was the troublemaker. Always nice to help my community.

I was contacted by a woman who had lost her ring while tubing on a popular river here in Oklahoma. She did exactly what I wish everyone would do after losing an item in the water—she took photos, documented the area, and provided as much information as possible about where the ring may have been lost.
With a good search area established, I set up my water-recovery gear and began working the river.
Several hours into the search, another person approached me and explained that they had also lost a ring in the same area I was already searching. Since I was there and equipped for the job, I added a second lost ring to the recovery mission.
After seven hours in the water, the search produced some surprising results. I successfully recovered the second person’s lost ring, along with five additional unclaimed rings from the same stretch of river.
Unfortunately, the original ring that brought me there was not recovered.
But that search isn’t over.
I plan to return as soon as conditions allow and continue working the area. Her careful documentation gives us a solid search zone, and until I’ve thoroughly covered it, there’s still a chance that ring is waiting to be found.
Sometimes recovery happens in minutes. Sometimes it takes multiple trips and many hours of searching. Either way, the goal remains the same: keep searching and return these lost items back to the people they belong to. (Notice all the trash removed from the river during the search.)
I recently received a call from a gentleman in Blanchard, Oklahoma, who had lost an 18K gold ring. The challenge was that he wasn’t sure exactly where he had lost it. It could have been somewhere in his yard, inside his home, or even at work.
Rather than searching randomly, we decided to systematically eliminate one possibility at a time. Since the yard was something I could quickly search with a metal detector, we started there.
It turned out to be the right decision.
Within about two minutes of starting the search, the missing 18K gold ring was recovered.
Sometimes a successful recovery requires hours of searching and research. Other times, narrowing down the possibilities and starting in the right place makes all the difference.
Another lost ring back where it belongs.
This earring hunt began when I got a voicemail from Bryann who was on a Birthday Vacation on Oahu and inquired about my services she had heard from a local friend. When we connected she told me she had lost her gold earring on Sandy’s Beach in the dry sand. She sent me a pic of the beach with a red line drawn on it of the route she had been on when she noticed the earring was gone. Sandy’s is heavily detected and I let her know. She let me know it was from her late husband so I knew I had to give it my best shot. I was at work so I told Bryann I would grab my gear when I finished and go straight there to hunt. When I arrived, the beach was quite crowded and part of the search area was blocked with conservation tape as turtles had nested in the area. I started the hunt along the rock wall near the parking lot and went as close to the conservation area that I could. After the first pass I started back the next leg and immediately got a nice low tone center line on the Manticore video display. I took one scoop and there was Bryann’s Sentimental Gold Earring in the scoop. I texted her a pic and told her, « You were blessed ». After a quick pick up at my home they were off to the airport. Bryann sent me a pic from home wearing the earring with a Shaka and a Smile. Aloha to Bryann!
Tuesday had started like so many Tuesdays do. My wife and I had settled into one of our favorite spots in DeLeon Springs when my phone buzzed with a text from Christian.
He had lost his wedding band on New Smyrna Beach.
I gave him a quick call. He sounded worried—almost desperate. He explained that he had lost his 14K gold wedding band the day before. He had placed it in the cup holder of his beach chair, but when they packed up to leave, the ring was gone. They searched for it but came up empty-handed.
I told Christian where I was and that I expected to be back in New Smyrna Beach by noon. Before heading out, I whispered a quick prayer, asking the Lord to protect the ring and keep it there until I could find it.
Once I returned to New Smyrna, I called Christian and told him I was on my way to the beach. When I arrived, he directed me to the area where they had been sitting.
I fired up my Minelab Manticore and began gridding the dry sand near the roadway. The heat was intense, with the bright sun beating down and radiating off the sand.
On my second pass, I got a promising signal.
I looked down, and there it was—a small, round circle barely protruding from the sand.
Could it really be? I reached down and picked it up. It was the ring!
I checked the inscription, and there was no doubt. I had found Christian’s wedding band.
I was incredibly grateful. The ring had been sitting there since the day before, and somehow no one had found it. I truly believe the Lord led me straight to it—and answered my prayer by getting it back to Christian and his wife Sarah, quickly.
Another ring saved. Another story of something thought to be lost forever, found.

I received a text about a lost Eternity ring. Great, another chance to practice my hobby. Oh no, the ring had been lost on Mayflower Beach one of Cape Cod’s many bay side beaches. The reason for the “Oh no” is that the wet sand of the beach at low tide goes on for miles and pin-pointing a location is very difficult to say the least. A beach photo with a marking is of great help, but not always very accurate. And that was going to be the case in this search. A search at low tide is best on the bay side as I can drag my scoop leaving a mark as to the area covered, unlike when the tide is high.
All that being said, I had time for dinner and would fight the crowd trying to get onto the beach along with all the sunset seakers trying to get a good view of theevening’s sunset. That was the easy part. I geared up, and headed for the search area. The word about the lost ring had spread and a very helpful woman confronted me and asked if I was there to find the lost ring. I answered with a “yes” and was pointed to the woman who had lost the ring, Lauren. The photo I had was marked as the first sand bar and Lauren was on the second. I was not surprised. By the time I reached the area Scott, met me and pointed out the “pools” the children and been playing in and an area north just beyond a group playing basket ball, yes – basket ball on the wet sand of Cape Cod Bay at dusk. The area east and west was also pointed out. The search was on.
The area, less the basketball “court”, was covered with only one bottle cap being found. Not a surprise, the ball players were taking care of their trash. “Bravo” to them! The sun had set, the hoop was lost in the darkness and the game was called. Now it was my turn on the court, with high hopes the ring would be my next target. No such luck…back to talk with Lauren and Scott.
Well if it was not in this court, the ring might have fallen out of Lauren’s pocket while playing ball, an area as big as the one I had already covered. The last light had gone and soon Lauren and Scott were on their way home. Me, heck no, I had a ring to find. Lauren’s player position kept her closest to the line of pools. It was there I had my first signal in this area. Yes, it was the ring. I removed my gear, got my phone out and tested “COME BACK” but I did not get a reply before I reached the dry sand and the parking lot. I called the number on the phone and it went to voice mail. OK, I can return the ring tomorrow, and my wife would have a good look at the beautiful ring.
Almost ready to leave and a phone call and a question…Where are you? I put on my 4-way flashers and then a heavy panting Scott was at the car, he had run from home. About a minute later Lauren showed up with I think a tear in her eye and a big hug. Things could not be better until a truck full of friend and relatives showed up to join in on the joyous return.
Hey, this is why I enjoy my hobby so much. You could never get the feelings I do without experiencing the happening as I do. Offers from myself and the truck driver to give Lauren and Scott a ride back home were declined, they wanted a peaceful stroll back to reflect on the day’s experience and a good night’s sleep.
PS: Many thanks to Kelly for starting my experience with this great and wonderful group of family and friends. Rick

A day at working on my Honey-Do List was first in my mind until the phone rang and Ryan pleaded for help in finding her girl friend’s engagement ring that had just slipped off of Katie’s finger into the chest deep water of Nantucket Sound. How could I refuse, I could not. I had to go especially after being told that Katie and two others were standing right where the ring fell off. I was promised a few coins would be dropped on that spot not knowing if the human markers would still be in the water marking the spot when I got there.
Within a half an hour I met Ryan in the parking lot to be escorted to the the beach. Oh no, the pressure was on, so many people, all there for a wedding, were now waiting to see me do my magic. Into the water I went. I immediately heard the tone of a ring along with other chatter from the coins. One, two, three coins and the tone of the ring was still coming from the depths. One more scoop and I tried to hide the target that was in my scoop as I walked ashore. But Katie’s sharp sight spotted the glitter of her gold ring and was ready to take it from the scoop.
Once we both were on dry sand and the ring was lovingly taken from the scoop and replaced on the finger where it had fallen off. Everyone there were there to celebrate a friends wedding, not to hear about detecting. I gave out a few cards with TheRingFinders.com info and left, letting the party and celebration continue.
Received a call from this gentleman “3 month newlywed” saying he had lost his gold ring in the river while floating! I told him as soon as I get off work I’ll make the nearly 4 hour drive to rescue his ring.
I arrive at 5 pm and follow him to the spot. We parked and made a steep decent to the waters edge as we get to the bottom, he said “right here is where I think I lost it”, but he wanted me to start a little higher and work my way down just to make sure. Not a problem!
The water was 1-2 feet deep in spots and I didn’t have my goggles. It was moving pretty good and was colder than I expected. The river and the rocks held many challenges as I made my way down river trying to stay on the path he took, keep my balance, check every spot I could with the @XP deus II and the HF coil! ONLY WOULD’VE WORKED HERE!
After two lures and a signal I couldn’t get to, I get another hit while sitting on a mossy rock trying to find 3rd signal.
I held the pinpointer in my left hand and used my first two fingers. As I followed the vibration to the target, I made two swipes with my fingers and I felt the familiar feeling of a ring slide on my finger!!! It had been found!!!
It was a challenge, but I overcame and adapted to the conditions and not having all my gear!
