Lost White Gold Ring w/Diamonds Found in Elizabeth Park, Trenton Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Slippery Slope…..

…..Only a month into their engagement, Billy and his fiancée wanted to take a few pictures in beautiful Elizabeth Park. The park boasts of gorgeous scenery and picturesque bridges spanning small water channel off the Detroit River. The park also was a spot for a few war of 1812 skirmishes and has been quite attractive to relic hunters over the years. Arriving at the park they were welcomed by a brief rainstorm. After parking, as they descended a grass slope towards a bridge, she slipped on the grass and tumbled to the bottom. Regaining composure, they made it to the bridge. After a few pics they came back towards the car on a flatter route. At the car she discovered her ring missing. Being familiar with the park I knew where the young couple had this mishap. Using my MXT metal detector I started halfway between the slope and bridge. Grid searching carefully as I got near the bridge, I got a great signal. Reaching down with my hand-held pin pointer revealed her ring! I shouted out to Billy who was about 100 feet away still combing the slope. He ran towards me and was amazed that the ring was there! Billy agreed that the recovery helps sets the stage for their marriage being able to handle any type of terrain.

Lost Smart Ring Found in Royal Oak Michigan

The One Ring to Rule Them All?…,,,,

…How about a smart ring? Some of the features include health, heart monitoring, and can track where you go, the ad mentioned. This caught Joey’s attention and for a moment his thoughts went back to one of his favorite superheroes….. The Green Lantern and his power ring…. How cool would it be to have something similar but different in the sense of helping change how he could track his health. Further reading checked all the boxes and Joey bought one. But what happed next isn’t your average superhero story. When he called and said he lost his smart ring I asked if it was so smart why did it jump off his finger? lol. He said as he was leaving a little league game it started raining and the ring was lost in a grass area near the parking lot. Using my MXT metal detector it only took a few minutes, and the ring was recovered in the grass. Joey was thrilled that the future was back on his finger, and he was ready again to simplify his life with just a touch. The question remains tho, with all this ring’s monitoring and tracking true love capabilities, are you ready to say I Do with one?

Lost and found Diamond ring in Whitby Ontario

Received a text from Shauna about her loosing her diamond and gold engagement ring. She lost it over a week ago, in her backyard, while planting her vegetable and flower beds. She had taken her ring off, not to loose it, and placed it in her pant pocket. Unfortunately, she was also using the same pocket to hold her phone. About six hours later, while having taken her phone in and out of her pocket numerous times, she realized her ring was missing. The family spent many hours looking for the ring to no avail. She also tried using a metal detector but it only sounded off fifty percent of the time (tried it once the ring was found). Once I arrived, I was able to find her ring within thirty minutes by one of the vegetable Gardens. Another happy ending. Life is good.

Lost – Gold Diamond Heirloom Ring, Ponce Inlet, FL. – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

I had been on the beach all morning when I got a call from June.  She said that her friend

Daphne had lost her grandmother‘s ring at the dog park at Ponce Inlet. I told her I was nearby

and they said they could meet me there in one hour.

 

When June and Daphne arrived, Daphne was very distraught about losing her grandmother’s

ring. They took me to the river and showed me where they had been. I gridded all the entire

area … No luck. It was very hot so I told them they could leave, and I would finish the search

and give them a call if I had any questions.

 

They had only been gone about five minutes when (in my best Columbo fashion) I called June

and asked her when they had noticed the ring was missing. She said they had actually pulled

over in a Truist bank and checked for it on the way home. I told her I was getting nothing at the

dog park and that she might want to go to the bank and check the parking lot. She said it

couldn’t be there because she would’ve noticed it

 

Five minutes later I got a call from Daphne saying they had found the ring in the bank parking

lot…broken but repairable.

 

The ring was not found with a metal detector, but nevertheless… Mission accomplished!!!

MY BEST RECOVERY, A LOST GOLD & SILVER HOARD FOUND

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Barry who claimed to be eccentric, buried his stash of 30 gold Maple Leafs, 40 Quarter oz Gold  coins, 1500 Silver Maple Leafs,  and various other coins under his patio in boxes and bags, he went to retrieve some of them that he buried shallow on the edge of the patio. After digging for a couple of hours and his hands all blistered, he got a friend with a metal detector to help him locate the coins with no  success. Now he is devastated that they can not be found, he searched the internet and found me, asking if I could assist him. I drove the over 100k to his home and had a lengthy conversation with him, as he told me that he had talked about the coins with his neighbour. I then crawled under his patio with my metal detector not feeling very confident. After crawling around for 20 minutes and digging a few nails I got a fairly decent signal, digging down around 6 or 7 inches I saw a garbage bag and dug around it only to hit a bright yellow monster box that holds silver maple leafs. We were both excited and after detecting and digging  around, I found the bulk of his coins in plastic coin tubes, except the ones we suspect his neigbour found. What a great guy, his intent is to donate the coins to various Children`s Charities.

Training the Next Generation: Crime Scene Metal Detector Course in New Jersey

I recently had the opportunity to travel to New Jersey to teach a specialized Crime Scene Metal Detector Operations course through TRITECH Forensics, hosted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office.

The class brought together a dedicated group of professionals—investigators and crime scene technicians from both the prosecutor’s office and surrounding law enforcement agencies. Their shared mission: to sharpen their skills and expand their capabilities in metal detector use at crime scenes.

Over the course of the training, we focused heavily on the practical application of metal detectors for evidence recovery, with a strong emphasis on locating spent shell casings—an often critical piece of evidence in shooting investigations.

From understanding search patterns and detector tones to mastering real-world recovery techniques, participants engaged hands-on in exercises designed to simulate crime scene conditions. By the end of the course, they not only gained new technical skills but also a deeper appreciation for the role metal detecting can play in building stronger, evidence-based cases.

It was an honor to work alongside such motivated professionals and to contribute to the evolving standards of crime scene investigations.

Lost – Diamond Engagement Ring and Wedding Band, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

If you’ve lost your ring, keys, or phone on the beach, or in the backyard, give Detector Ed a call…757-419-0299.  I am available day or night, phone, or text me as soon as possible.  Do not post it on social media!

Tuesday, I got a FB text from Thomas.  He said that he and his wife, Madelyn had been to New Smyrna Beach.  During the trip their wedding ring set had been put on the beach towel.  When they packed up to leave, the beach towel was picked up and the rings went flying.

I told him that I would go right down to look.  As I drove along, I whispered a quiet prayer, « Please God, help me find these rings. »

When I arrived, I began gridding in the 95-degree heat with my Minelab Manticore.  Thomas had been very exact about their location, but I found no rings.  I was about to give up, having covered the entire area multiple times finding only trash items and coins.

Just then, a car that had been there the entire time pulled out.  I quickly, ran over and got an immediate hit.  It was a ring with a big, beautiful diamond!!  Only, a foot away, another beautiful diamond ring!  Thank you God!

Later that week the wedding set was returned to the happy owners.

Tacia called me on The Ringfinders web site in distress that she had lost her Grandmothers Wedding ring and Engagement ring, after telling me the story about how she lost them in her back yard I assured her that I would find them. The wedding ring and engagement ring were worn by her Grandmother all her life until she passed away at 98 years old. They both were given to Tacia as a heirloom so she was stressed out that she could not find them in the grass, but my assurance made made her feel better. Once at her home, it took me less than five minutes to find them both, it made her Mothers Day.
