Fast-Forwarding……

From the summer of 2024 to summer of 2025, Austin found it hard to believe that the year had passed so quickly. While him and the family enjoyed the new house, it was time to move again but around a year ago his wedding ring went missing. With 2 weeks left to vacate the house he often paused-rewound-replayed the events over the last year musing over where it may be. When I arrived, he had 2 locations he had a good vibe about. One was in an area where he was picking up the children’s toys for the winter and the other was in the neighbor’s yard while he was helping them install rabbit fence around a garden. I selected Track 1- « toys » and started grid searching with my MXT metal detector but all I heard was hissing/popping/crackle sounds thru my headphones from bad ground. Selecting Track 2 « rabbit fence » I started to metal detect the area and got a sweet-sounding tone thru the headphones. Digging down an inch revealed that the sweet melodious tune I heard was from Austin’s tungsten ring! As he reached down to pick up the ring, he was thrilled that we cued up the right track and it wasn’t just his imagination.

Barking Up the Wrong Tree…..

While Josh was walking his dogs down a trail, the dog leashed to his right hand bolted after a squirrel that zoomed across the trail. Taken by surprise, the force pulled Josh’s balance off and he fell to the ground. The leash came off his wrist and the dog raced to the tree jumping up and down convinced the squirrel was still around. Meanwhile, Josh managed to get to his feet and got control over the other dog who wanted in on the action. Finally, the 3 of them continued on the trail. A few hundred feet was travelled when Josh noticed his ring missing. Going back to the area where the melee occurred, he couldn’t see his ring, and with dusk setting in they went back to the car. I started a grid search with my MXT metal detector where Josh remembered the incident had taken place. Checking both sides of the trail revealed nothing but as I got near the base of the tree, I got a good signal, and by the sound and meter number could only mean on thing,,,,Josh’s ring! When he reached down and picked it up, we recalled how bummed out the dog must have felt about not getting the squirrel, but Josh was seriously happy that we were on the right trail and got to the root of the real matter!

Robin called asking for help in searching a family property after the Altadena fire.

When I arrived she took me to the area she believed some missing jewelry should’ve fallen. The problem was that there was an old 400-500 pound cast iron bathtub sitting on the spot. There was a pipe in the backyard that I was able to anchor a come-along to, and then stretch a strap over to the tub. At that point, moving the tub out of the way became an easy assignment. After moving the tub, I was able to find 3 rings (one broken), and 1 pendant.

Robin felt satisfied that the area was searched well.

Maria called wanting to try and recover some items lost in the Altadena fire. There was one item she was most interested in recovering her mother had given her many years back, and it was a Gold coin that was made into a pendant. I did the search sifting out a large area where she believed everything must have gone. I found the pendant and very excitedly took it over to show her.

The total of finds for the day was :

  1. One large gold coin pendant
  2. 27 large silver coins
  3.  3 rings
  4.  1 chain

You can see by my picture, just how much this kind of work takes out of you. This was about 4 hours of straight sifting to find these items. Yet to see how emotional she was to have these back, made it all worthwhile.

Ninkey called to ask if I was available to help her search for items lost in her home in the Pacific Palisades fire. I let her know I was, and drove there to help her.

I got to work right where she thought everything went, and she was right on the spot. I was able to recover:

  1. 51 dollar coins
  2. 10 chains
  3. 11 pieces of silver flatware
  4. 1 cross
  5. 1 knife (which had a lot of sentimental value)
  6. 1 tooth fairy box with a little bear on it that had been her daughter’s
  7. Other miscellaneous items

I will have to say that doing these searches was a very emotionally draining experience with so much pain and loss.

Lost Gold Wedding Band – Found by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter in Fox Chapel Area (Pittsburgh, PA) Call 814-244-2300 ASAP for assistance finding your lost item!

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I was contacted by Jill who stated her mother thought she had lost her wedding ring while weeding. Her mother was throwing the weeds over an embankment behind her residence and thought her ring flew off. When I initially spoke with Jill the ring had been lost for about three weeks. I was unable to make it out the same day she called me to search but assured her I would make arrangements to look.

A few days later it worked out that I was able to search for the ring. I drove out the residence and met Jill’s mother, Peggy and her dog Missy. Peggy explained to me that her husband had passed away and how important the ring was to her. She did not see the ring fly off her finger but she was pretty certain it was over the embankment. They had searched with a metal detector that they bought and also enlisted the help of a neighbor without any luck.

I looked over the embankment and it was overgrown with weeds and tall grass. I took a few steps and realized that all the vegetation was hiding just how steep the bank was. So I started my grid down and back up the hillside taking note of how far I was down. I was thinking that maybe I had not went down over the hill far enough so I was prepared to have to go further down. I was there working my way though the forest of vegetation when all of a sudden I heard that sweet sound of gold. I had seen a picture of the ring and it was very big so the hit I got was loud and steady. I parted the weeds and looked down and there was the ring….sweet success!!

I climbed back to the top of the hillside and Peggy came out to meet me. When I showed her the ring she was stunned and began to shed tears of joy. It was readily apparent how important the ring was to her. She thanked me numerous times. Before I had started to search she had told me how her dog Missy could do all kinds of tricks. I told Peggy that if I found the ring she could have Missy do a few tricks; so Missy got to perform and was very impressive.

Now that the pressure was off as the ring was found there were a few minutes to chat. It is very interesting to hear the stories of rings that are found and all the other important details that the clients like to share. As always it was great to meet another extremely kind and generous client and reunite her with her treasured keepsake!

Lost gold Pisces pendant recovered, after over a month in Lake Michigan, Warren Dunes State Park, Sawyer Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Family heirloom Pisces pendant, lost while at the beach Aug 1st. Was lost in a fairly large area, she thought it was while they were in the water. It was Reese’s grandmother’s pendant, that Reese wears proudly.
I’ve made more than a few search attempts for this one. Her brother Gavin made a detailed map of the area. The odds that no other pirates have found this were slim to none. However, some sand has moved out over the past week, upping the chance of uncovering some things. So I made a spin around the loss area this afternoon. At the tail end of the hunt, I got a iffy iron sounding signal. Opted to dig it, as usual. The glare of the setting sun made it a trick to see in the scoop basket, but I saw a gold colored chain hanging partly out of the scoop basket. Put my hand on that and hoped with all I have, that I’d see a Pisces pendant when I looked in. Sure enough, there it was! They are beyond thrilled to have it back.

Lost Tungsten Ring in the Sand Found in Westland Michigan

A Fist Pump Serve…..

….was all Dennis could hope for as he spiked the ball down to score the winning point on the volleyball court as darkness fell upon the game. With a successful win the players congratulated one another with high 5’s and danced around on the court. After Dennis got home he noticed his ring missing. Rushing back to the court he looked around in the dark with no luck. On site he showed me what went on. I had 3 places the ring could be. Either side of the court or the opposite side of the court out in the thick grass. I elected to start in the area he was standing when the final serve was given. My MXT metal detector was wanting to score but gave no signals until I was right under the net. A very nice signal came thru. Pushing thru the sand with my pin-pointer metal detector revealed his ring! Dennis was totally surprised that the ring was there and felt even more victorious that this meeting at the net scored another memorable victory of a different kind that will last a lifetime.

Lost and found diamond wedding ring Cobourg Ontario

Contact:

Received a text last evening from Terry about him loosing his Diamond wedding band while at Cobourg beach yesterday afternoon. While wrestling with his son, in waist deep water, he felt his ring slip off his finger. We decided to meet at the beach right away to find his ring and not wait til the following day as there are many detectorists looking for lost jewelry, especially after a weekend. Terry was pretty sure he could get me within a 20×20 feet area where the ring had slipped off. Unfortunately, the beach and water looks quite different in total darkness. After an hour or so of gridding the area, took a break and Terry infoed me he had to get back home for work the next day. I decided to stay and keep looking. Another hour into the hunt, and after jewelry targets including a ring, I finally found his beautiful ring. I drove to his home and returned his ring. He was extremely happy and very emotional to be reunited with his ring. Another great recovery. Life is good!!!

White Gold Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by a husband, (Ben), saying his wife lost her wedding ring in the front yard and that they had tried finding it with a metal detector, but had not located it. They had a very large front yard, but had marked off an area they thought it would be, because he had to run the mower. The area he thought it would be had not been cut. The temperatures those days were at the 95 degree range and I was in the full sun with no relief from any shade. The first day I spent around 4-5 hours finding nothing but surface items that sounded like a ring, small pieces of foil. I had completely covered the entire area he thought it would be. I was spent from the heat, so I came back the next day and expanded the search area. After around 4 hours I was well outside of the original search area by around 60 feet or so and I got a consistent 17 on my Manticore and it seemed to be on the surface because of the double beep. I had found it, but there was a problem. It was in the area that had been mowed and had been damaged from being run over with the mower tire. The band had been bent, had a small stone missing, and the main setting stone was loose. So as soon as I could I put it in a small zip lock bag so if anything else came loose it would not get lost.
