LOST WEDDING BAND – HAMILTON VA – FOUND!

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)

WEDDING BAND RECOVERY – Received a call from Ike in Hamilton Virginia who lost his wedding band while throwing a frisbee to his dogs in the backyard. There was a nice section of grass to the left and a semi-large garden on the right. I started on the left, and after an hour or so no luck, so I moved over into the garden section….it took two days, picking vegetation, fighting fencing, metal stakes, metal, metal, metal everywhere… After weed whacking and ripping out grass and miscellaneous weeds… Finally found Ike‘s ring which had become lodged between and gardn stone and the tall weeds.

LOST ANDROID PHONE IN POND (FOUND) – UPPER MARLBORO, MD

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)

FAMILY PHOTOS RECOVERY ❤️‍🩹 I received a call from Zino on behalf of his wife, who dropped her Android phone into a pond while walking across a wooden deck, taking photos of her children. The phone slipped out of her hand and bounced off the deck into the dark water. I loaded my diving gear, drove an hour to the location, and we discussed where she believed the phone was dropped. In a little over an hour, I was able to recover the phone, it was one of the darkest (funkiest) water dives I’ve ever done. The water stinks and I hope I don’t end up in the ER. 😂 praying that after some drying time and expert advice they’re able to get the phone working and recover hundreds of family photos.

SHANNANDOAH RIVER RECOVERY!!! It took over five expeditions and probably over 24 hours of search time between three of us. Finally recovered our customers white gold and rose gold wedding ring. Looking forward to getting it returned… This was a fun adventure!  and it was only found because I called the A-Team, it’s always a blast hanging out with our friend from Pennsylvania.
Also did a quick random recovery, OMG a two-year-old maybe three years old walking in the river carrying her mother’s cell phone… Just as the mother came down 50 feet away the child dropped the phone and I was able to recover it !! yes, the child was safe… 🙂

TEARS of SADNESS and TEARS of JOY ❤️😭
Camilla called me early this morning after a referral from my friend Robert Ellis. Camilla had lost her gold engagement ring while moving a large rock holding up a decorative plant outside her business in Vienna Virginia. She didn’t want to scratch the rings so she took them off and put them in her back pants pocket , then realized that her engagement ring was lost. Many tears shed both before, and then once the ring was found more tears..

WEDDING RING RETURNED – Roundhill VA.

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)
VOLLEY BALL FUN – It only took about six months, but this customer finally reached out to me after finding me on ChatGPT of all things! Went out to his location in Roundhill, Virginia, and he explained to me that he was playing volleyball with his son when the ring flew out of his hand last year. They searched for hours, even after borrowing a metal detector, they couldn’t find it.
Quick start and quick ending: after about 30 seconds with the detector, his ring was found!
Very happy man and I know his wife was thrilled to see the ring back on his finger.
❤️
PS… I didn’t need to shovel! The ring still was about a quarter of an inch below the surface! Pending face photo.

14K RING RIVER RECOVERY – Cacapon River, WV.

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)
The Cacapon River is one of West Virginia’s highest quality rivers. Protected by woodlands and peaceful fields, its waters are not polluted by industry, development or mining.
I received a call from a customer who was kayaking with his son on the Cacapon River. While going through an area with some mild rapids, the kayak flipped over, and everything went overboard. Obviously focusing on his son to ensure everyone was safe, he then realized his ring had come off his finger. He searched in the current for several hours but was unable to locate the ring.
We agreed on a date/time and after an hour-and-a-half excursion, I arrived deep back in the woods of WV. At first I was slightly concerned about the rapids, but after a little bit of foot dancing in the river to ensure I didn’t get washed away, I was able to get into the area I wanted to search. I had to hold the detector with both hands due to the current but was able to get a high 80s on my XP Deus II. I set the detector on a boulder to my left, put my snorkel mask on, then dunked my face into the cold water rapids. Like a gleaming beacon, I saw the  14 karat yellow gold ring, staring up at me through the water, in between two large rocks.
Happy customer. 😊 Happy Hunting

RED DIRT SILVER RING RECOVERY – CULPEPER VA

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)

I received a call from Nadine in Culpeper, Virginia.… (Yes, red dirt territory). Ms. Brackman is an environmental scientist with a passion for history, adores Dalmatians (massive Dalmatian figurine collection), and writes books. She contacted me because she lost a sentimental silver ring with a Malachite stone while tossing the ball to her dogs in her backyard. Girded for a quick 30 minutes, I found the ring pretty quickly; Nadine was ecstatic to have her cherished ring back on her finger!
