I got a call from a young man who had lost his phone. He was on a small bridge over a section of a river near his house, when while taking pictures, he dropped the phone in the water. I asked how long it had been since the loss, and he told me a week. My heart dropped when he told me the amount of time that had gone by, but he assured me that the phone should still be there, so I drove out to meet him.

When I got there we walked out to the spot where the loss occurred, and he explained what happened. He also told me that he had done his own searches during that week to no avail. I looked into the water, and the deepest area was no more than 4 feet deep with a sandy bottom, and I was having a hard time figuring out why he wasn’t able to find it; it should have just been laying there! Well I got ready, and stepped into the water, and as soon as my foot hit bottom I understood why it disappeared, there was 8 inches of silt that looked like sand. The bottom was real clean of metal trash, and then under the bridge I received a real good signal, put my scoop in, and up came a beer can. I searched again, and in the same area another good signal, this time it was his phone. It was still there after a week, and still working; amazing. Made his day!

Bekah called distraught because she had lost something very sentimental to her while at a family picnic. She and her family had gone to the Hanson Dam Recreation Area for a get together, and while walking around, she noticed the necklace she was wearing was not around her neck any longer. The necklace and pendant had been in her family for generations, and it made her feel extremely bad to know she had lost it. We arranged to meet, and I was on my way.

When I arrived Bekah and I found each other, and she took me out to the area of the loss. The area wasn’t real huge, but the grass area was littered with metal trash which slowed the search process considerably. I searched stopping every few inches to check for the missing necklace, and Bekah followed along with high hopes. We covered all of the area, so I asked if she had been anywhere else, and she showed me another strip of grass she had been in, and I began to search there with her right beside me on the adjacent pavement. My process again was real slow checking every few inches, when all of a sudden I heard a cry of emotion from Bekah. It happened that as she was following me ever so slowly, her foot bumped something on the pavement, and when she looked down, she saw the necklace. She was certain it was lost in the grass, but like I always tell people I help; it may not be where you expect it to be. Also the day she lost it, she was frantic in her search, and she overlooked it though it was in plain sight. Sometimes you just need to slow down a bit, and my slow search made that happen for her. She was thrilled to have it back.

LOST SHEETS OF GOLD in CHAPEL HILL, NC….. FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

This will be one of my best but craziest recoveries EVER! I still can’t believe I was actually able to find it for the daughter of the deceased man that buried it in their backyard during his later stages of Dementia. Yes, he buried the sheets of GOLD that were rolled up and put together with paperclips. I know I will get comments like it is gold leaf. but it is 100% NOT GOLD LEAF; it is heavy and in sheets as stated. He used this gold to make chips.

The original story was that her father had made a small GOLD BAR out of the gold, but when I found it, I knew I had found what he had buried and what she was hoping I would find. It took me about an hour and a half to get the signal of this lost treasure! The backyard was full of leaves, rocks, trees and it wasn’t an easy target to find, luckily there wasn’t much other metal items in the natural area behind the house. That alone made it easier to locate the GOLD! The estimated total GOLD weight of what I think is 24K gold is about 15g to 20g.

Neeta called and asked for help finding her husband’s wedding ring. He had been playing at the beach with their daughter when he noticed it gone. It had happened earlier that day, so the timing was right; always, the sooner the better. I got down there as soon as I could.

We began the search, and she put me close, because it did not take very long to find it. Neeta was very pleased to be able to have her husband’s ring back so quickly, and I was happy for a great outcome that day.

I received a call from Favio who had lost his cell phone the night before at the beach. He was wondering if I would be able to do a search for him, and I let him know I was available. I asked if the phone was still showing on the find my phone app, and he said that it was, which boosted hope for a successful recovery. We arranged to meet at the location that evening.

When I arrived Favio had some car trouble and was a late in coming, so I asked him to send me a map of the area, and where he believed the phone had been lost so I could begin my search while he was in transit. I had almost completed the search area when Favio and his friends arrived. They then moved the search area a bit North of where I had been searching, and within about 20 minutes, I was able to hand his phone back. Favio then explained how he had recently come South from Alaska, and purchased the best phone he could afford in order to be able to do some film work, so this recovery was furthering his dream career. I was very happy to make his day.

Car Keys Thrown from Apartment Balcony in Birmingham, AL… FOUND!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee…call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7…610-504-6135

On Friday morning, November 24th, 2023, I received a call from Gary stating his adult son, Greg, had thrown both sets of his own car keys from his 3rd story apartment balcony in Birmingham, Alabama.  Greg was going through some rough times in life, which eventually led to this outcome.  We’re all human and life happens.  Thrown items occur way more than people think.  The important thing was that I had an accurate account of what happened.  This can mean the difference between a find vs. no find.  At the time of Gary’s call, I was still in Tampa, FL on vacation, but I was about to head to the airport to fly back to Huntsville, AL.  I told Gary that I could conduct a search the following morning when I was back in town.

I met Gary and Greg in Birmingham at noon on Saturday.  I grabbed two rocks that were similar in size to a car key fob, and we headed up to Greg’s apartment balcony.  I had Greg re-enact the 2 throws using the rocks.  I took a photo and marked the location they landed at (photo below).  We headed down the stairs to the back of the apartment complex to start the search.  We had to hop the fence and slide down a bit of an incline to get to the location the rocks landed at.

I started a grid search with my Minelab Equinox 900 metal detector and shortly noticed that there were quite a few trash targets in the area.  The ground was covered with leaves, so I needed to check all targets with my pin pointer to make sure I didn’t miss the keys.  A few minutes into the search, Gary had visually found the first set of keys!  They were about 15 feet to the left of where the first rock landed.  I headed to the second location and began detecting there.  Soon after, I also visually spotted the second set of keys.  This set was about 10 feet from where the second rock landed.  Both sets of car keys were found!!  Gary and Greg were both very thankful and relieved.  We gave praise to God for the quick double recovery.

After we celebrated and took some photos (Gary and Greg politely declined to be in the photo), Gary and I headed to my favorite Birmingham seafood restaurant, The Fish Market, for lunch.  We enjoyed a nice meal and fellowship together.  Gary thanked me again and I was on the road headed back to Huntsville.  I thank the Lord for another successful recovery and safe trip home.  I also pray for Greg and his journey in life.  Until the next adventure, please take care and God bless!

Rob called me after they had search for a couple hours for his wife’s very sentimental ring from her home in Vietnam. She was enjoying her first experience of snow and was throwing it. This was an old property with 100’s of signals and lots of foot traffic because of its location. After about 15 minutes I was able to recover it, not to far from their search area.

Glasses recovered SCUBA diving, EZ Cruz Marina, Woodbridge VA by Rob Ellis

Recovered By Master SCUBA Instructor Rob Ellis

 

Found May 16th, 2023

Erik was enjoying the day at EZ Cruz Marina, when a gust of wind took his hat and prescription glasses. With help from his friends, Erik tried using a long-handled net to scoop the glasses. Visibility, rocks, and depth made netting his glasses impossible. Sharon, the manager from EZ-Cruz marina, remembered that I recovered a ring last year and gave Erik my contact information.

A weighted Drop Line for Reference

When Erik called, he told me exactly how and where the glasses entered the water. He even sent me photos with drawings.

Gear Preparation

 

My divemaster (AKA: my wonderful wife) and I checked in with the marina office. We assessed the conditions and finalized how to conduct the search. We dropped a weighted “down line” from the dock to mark the center of the search area where the glasses fell into the water. The easiest entry was from the shore, with a hundred-yard swim. We attached a safety rope after reviewing tender-diver signals.

 

 

 

Most dock bottoms have a lot of metal debris, so I tethered the detector at the surface for my first search by gentle touch and use of a Garrett Pinpointer.

As I descended into the murky water, I lost all visibility at about 5 feet. I hit bottom at about twelve feet, and it was dark, very dark. Even my flashlight wouldn’t penetrate the murky water. I very carefully used my fingertips and pinpointer with a search pattern using the drop line as a reference. Within just a few minutes, I felt a pair glasses and carefully put them in my bag. There are always a lot of sunglasses around docks, and I wasn’t sure these were Erik’s. I ascended, gave the bag to my wife who compared them to a picture Erik had provided. She told me they were the right ones by signaling me the OK sign.

Manager Sharon from EZ Cruz Marina

Erik Smiling!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were so glad to return Erik’s glasses. The actual search by touch took less than ten minutes. But the preparation, planning for the search & recovery, and clean-up took several hours. It was worth it to return such a nice young man’s glasses.

Don’t give up. Many of my clients have bought, borrowed, or rented a metal detector before calling me. Just because someone has a tool, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it. I use state of the art equipment, and I have thousands of hours of experience searching on land and underwater. If you have tried using a detector without success, please call to see if I can help.

Lost hearing aid found in Malcolm, Nebraska

  • from Lincoln (Nebraska, United States)

I got a call from Richard’s son that his father had lost a hearing aid. Richard still had one which I scanned to see what the signal was like. Richard took me on a tour of his acreage to show me the places he did yard work that day. Twenty minutes later I got the signal. He is having 28 people over for thanksgiving in a couple days. I’m glad he will be able to hear all the laughter of his family.
