Lost Knife Found In Shelby Township Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

The Art Of Manliness Lives On!

What is manliness?, and how is it measured? If you were to google this there would be all kinds of answers. Most would agree to some point that they are all correct to a certain degree. But not too far in the past and to this day, it was and still is manly to carry a knife. Who doesn’t remember their dad or grandpa handing a pocket knife to a young boy at Christmas or out on that special hunting or fishing trip! Then the thrill of adventure building stories around it till it was time to pass it on to a true friend or family member. Thoughts of this were in this pictured man’s mind when he received a knife yesterday for Christmas. Living near a woodsy area filled with forest debris he went out for a hike with his friend and the knife became lost.
We decided to search this morning and when we got there we discovered more debris piled up where they were hiking. I searched the clear areas while he removed the piles of Christmas scented debris to give me a clear area to swing the metal detectors coil. Sloshing thru the mud I was getting lots of junk signals coming from pieces of concrete that had settled and were poking up thru the earth’s surface. I knew the metal in the knife would be reading in the positive section on my MXT. So annoying as it was to hear the junk I kept swinging. I thought for a moment that maybe someone who was dumping the debris since the knife was lost may have saw it and kept it. But after 40 mins I got a bouncy +52 to +68 on the meter. Pulling the pinpoint trigger switch showed 0 depth so I got the Garrett carrot out and probed around in the foliage and sure enough there it was! This silver blade of this gorgeous knife revealed itself! I waved over to him and he thought I wanted to take a break and I said yes..a big break!… don’t move another branch! When he got to me he was super elated that his sentimental gift wasn’t lost forever and will be able to have many stories to pass it forward someday and that nothing will ever get between him and his knife again!

White Gold Engagement Ring Recovered in Carrboro, N.C. on 12/5/2018

  • from Hillsborough (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I recovered and returned this beautiful white gold engagement ring on 12/5/2018 for a nice young lady who had lost it in a yard last February. She explained she had tried several times to look for it over the past months with no luck. After speaking with her about the ring I agreed to meet her there and try to find it for her. When I got there I started my search using my Electroscope long range locators to narrow down the search of the yard and find the strongest hot spot signals. I then got out my detector to start my search in the strongest signal area I felt my Electroscope was hitting on. After about 15 minutes of searching I found the ring in the area of interest my Electroscope locked onto. I was very happy to locate this beautiful ring for such a nice lady. Its always a good day when I can help someone recover what they lost.

Lost Property Markers (Irons) Found In Rochester Hills Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Brown Is The New Black,

Life for Princess began in a suburb north of Detroit. As a puppy she took quickly to chasing toys and keeping her owners quite active. As she grew and went out on hunts she was proud of her beauty, poise, talent and abilities to serve her master and became very demanding and impatient. You could tell by her expressions and continuous ultimatums when her owner fell short of bringing down game. She loved the thrill of the chase so much that she started to chase anything that flew by in her yard, sometimes taking her into neighboring yards. She’s harmless, everyone knew who she was in the neighborhood and referred to her as the dog with the pretty brown coat. Her owners tried lots of things to try and keep her from roaming and finally decided to put up a fence to keep her in the yard but still give her room to be active. The pictured gentleman called me and asked if I could locate property irons/markers as the fence co. would need them. With my land surveying skills and experience I agreed to come by today. Armed with my Sidewinder and the « treasure » property map we set out into the yard. After a few minutes of detecting in all metal mode, I was able to find all 4 of the irons, very rare, I havn’t done this in quite awhile, as most property markers are gone, removed by someone, rotted, or never were put in at all. The owner was happy that they can proceed with the fence and as we walked around Princess would be watching us, we sensed her laughing at the upcoming change in her freedom even tho her poise, posture and expressions convinced us that the fence wouldn’t hold her back from doing her best….. as she feels brown is still the new black!

Lost Gold Class Ring Found In Rochester Hills Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

A Class Act Reunion!

This pictured gentleman was assisting a tree trimming crew in his yard and while moving limbs and what not his size 10 14k class ring slipped off yesterday. Overnight there was an inch or so of snow as well. I knew from past searches this chunky ring would be reading in the high 50’s to low 60’s on my MXT meter. Chatting a bit he mentioned he was in the planning stages for a 45th year class reunion, making this search and recovery very special. Not remembering where he was in the yard but a general area I started to run a grid pattern right down the middle of the yard. I actually liked the snow since I could see my footprints where I was walking helping me get a better grid search! This is the only time you will see me say I enjoy SNOW! After just a few minutes and some random junk and iron signals I got a +60 zinc penny 0 depth signal blaring thru my headphones. Pinpointing the spot and brushing the snow aside revealed this beautiful gold ring shining up at me! As you can see he was super thrilled that his class ring was found and he will be able to truly have a class act reunion!

Sharp Eyes Only Requirement In Palm Harbor Ring Recovery

One bright spot in an otherwise sad week.

Joan’s husband passed away just last week and was heartbroken to lose a ring he had given her. She was throwing pine needles off her second story balcony when her ring slipped off her finger.

Family, neighbors, and the yard man all searched in vain. She was directed to SRARC where a team was assembled.

District Captain Howard Metts, Dimitur Alipiev, and Paul Hill arrived at 2pm sharpe. Introductions were done as Joan explained where she was standing overhead. At that point Dimitur turned and said here it is. The look of astonishment was actually on ALL our faces. Joan fought back the tears and was so thankful to have the ring back. She couldn’t believe it wasn’t found before our arrival. We never took our detectors out of the cars.

Lost Platinum Diamond Ring in Chattanooga Tennessee…Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

Conner contacted me late Sunday afternoon, on October 28th, around 5:00 PM.  The ring was actually platinum, my first one, so I wasn’t certain what it would read on the CTX.  It gave me a solid 12-03, in the high-trash mode, very similar to white gold. I have attached a couple photos of the happy lady.

 

Testimonial:

« After a heavy rain, the night before, my fiancée and I were getting one of our cars unstuck in the yard. Little did we expect her engagement ring would go flying off her finger into the grass. We both quickly went into a panic as this is a family diamond passed on for generations. We tried everything to find the ring from crawling for hours to borrowing our neighbor’s metal detector. After six hours we were running out of daylight. I got online and found Ed Hart! He understood how important it was and drove over immediately to help find it. Within three minutes he had found her RING! We can not thank Ed enough. It is hard to find such wonderful people like him! Thanks again Ed you a lifesaver!  »

Ring Recovered On Redington Shores

Mike and I went to beach where ring was lost Monday and found that a beach re-sanding pipeline had been laid right through the area that we were to hunt, we spent about 2 1/2 hrs hunting both sides of the pipeline and sand that had been moved around because of the pipeline. I called the ring owner and told her that we could not find her ring and why and she said maybe it had fallen out of her purse near the car when she was getting the keys out. She sent me a photo of where the car was parked and I went there and started detecting the grass near where the car was parked, Five minutes later the ring was found. Today she came here from Lakeland and was reunited with her ring, she was very happy and said if we ever need a professional photographer to call her.

Lost White Gold Ring Found in Gibraltar Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

A Birthday To Remember!

This pictured lady had a birthday party for her son last Saturday out in the yard. As rain started to come down she was hurrying to gather the children and during the rush her ring came off. When I talked with her she said the ring was a silver one. I went by Sunday and searched a bit looking for silver signals on the MXT but more heavy rain came thru the area hampering the search.
As we got to talking about when to search again, I asked again what material the ring was and asked her if she had any paperwork on the ring. So today when we met she showed me that the ring was gold but silver colored! So now I would be looking for the numbers where white gold shows up on the MXT. I’ve always tried to include the children on my hunts when possible and I noticed the pictured lil’ guy taking a keen interest. After grid searching most of the area I finally got a +14 +16 signal at 0 depth.
As the Garrett carrot neared the ground surface it gave that warm, inviting vibration that said I’m here! So just down in the grass a bit this stunning white gold ring with diamonds sparkled up at me! Her son was thrilled to be my helper and as you can see I now have an expert pin pointer and future treasure hunter in the making! Mom couldn’t believe I found her ring, her smile tells the story and recovering it brought an extra joy to a birthday to remember!

LOST ENGAGEMENT RING BATON ROUGE, LA. – FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Taloria called late Saturday afternoon looking for help in finding her lost engagement ring. It was too late to drive the 1 ½ hrs to Baton Rouge and get any hunting in before dark, so we set up to meet early the next morning. When we arrived at the site, Taloria said she was on her way to a party with friends when she placed her engagement ring on her lap to apply some hand lotion. When they had parked in the grassy field, she exited the car not thinking about the ring. When she realized the ring was gone, she hunted in and around the car but did not find it. She then called us to help. Being she knew where the car was parked, the search area was small. The problems were tall grass and lots of trash (foil, pull tabs, drink containers, etc.). The hunt was very tedious.  Sid got tired of the constant up and down to check out hits. He got on his hands and knees and crawled around using the pin pointer. The technique worked. A hit with the pointer and glints of shiny metal proved to be the ring. Taloria (also Carrie and Sid) were very excited. After reuniting Taloria with her beautiful ring, lots of hugs, lots of smiles, and lots of pictures, we all headed home.

Indian Rocks Beach Ring Recovery

Alex was on Indian Rocks Beach Saturday swimming with his wife when he realized his wedding ring had come off. He found our SRARC Ringfinders website and contacted Howard Metts to see if we could help. Howard set up a hunt for the following Friday morning and was joined by Ed Osmar, Mike Shuler, and Dimitur Alipiev. After about 2 hours of hunting, Howard got a good signal and scooped up the ring. The ring is now on the way to Alex in Texas. What a great way to end the week!
