On Friday 11/6 I received a phone call from Deepak asking if I was the person who looks for lost jewlery.  I told him that I surly was! He asked if I could come help him find his wifes missing diamond ring. I told him that I would be glad to come help and take a look for the ring. So we made plans to meet up after I got off of work. When I arrived Deepak met me outside and walked me to the front of the duplex where the ring was thought to be lost. I asked him why they thought that it was there. He said 2 days ago he and his wife were outside in the grassy area chasing each other around and just frolicking. Afterwards when they went inside is when his wife noticed that her ring was missing. Deepak told me that he had the ring custom made while they were living/ working/ and going to school in Australia. He said some days he worked 22 hours a days 🤯 to raise the money to have the ring custom made! So it clearly meant a lot to the both of them. So I started a grid pattern in the suspected area. I could see areas where the grass was flattened by footsteps. I did a grid search area of about 20 yard by 30 yards and didn’t find a ring. Deepak said that maybe I should go back to where I started and go the opposite way. So I did, and on my way back of my first pass I got the sound that I was waiting for! A nice,  double tapping, solid 62 on the DĒUS II! At first I couldn’t see it,  but as I kept sweeping my coil over the signal, all of a sudden I seen a flash of gold! I looked at Deepak and said « good news my friend »! There it was sitting deep in the grass hidden well out of plain sight. But eventually he spotted it and grabbed it!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!!

Lost Gold Ring in Yard Found in Southgate Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

What the Hay? A call came in late afternoon from Jason saying he was going haywire over losing his ring in the yard while covering up some plants. After breaking hay, I said were burning daylight, let’s make hay while the sun shines. While grid searching Jason said it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. Nearing the end of where he put hay our last straw was to search near a storage bin that contained a small amount of hay. I got a good metal signal through it, so we dumped out the contents. Clutching at straws, Jason’s ring appeared! Holding it up I said hay is for horses…I’m glad I was able to bale you out!

Lost Ring in Lexington, Kentucky… FOUND! 💍

  • from Louisville (Kentucky, United States)
Contact:

I recently had the pleasure of helping Emily recover a special ring that went missing while she was outside spending time with her kids. What started as a normal day of family fun quickly turned into a search for something that meant so much to her.

Thankfully, Emily had a good idea of where the ring might be, giving us a solid starting point. But even with a general location, finding a small ring hidden in the grass isn’t always easy.

With my metal detector in hand, I carefully worked through the area, checking promising signals along the way. After a few hours of searching, persistence paid off — Emily’s missing ring was finally found!

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of returning something so meaningful to its owner. It was a pleasure meeting Emily and her family, and I’m grateful I had the opportunity to help.

Another successful recovery and another reminder of why I love metal detecting!

2 Property Markers Found in Murrells Inlet SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On November 10, 2026, a little after noon, I received a call from Joe asking if I could help him find 3 property markers. He also mentioned that the property was actually his son’s townhouse property. I asked Joe if he had the Property Plat and he stated he did. I wasn’t able to go right then, but told him I’d text him very shortly when I was on my way with my ETA. It wasn’t too long afterwards that I finished doing what I was doing and was on my way. I text Joe giving him a 40 minute ETA.

When I arrived, I met Joe’s wife and she had the Property Plat, which was a tremendous help. Shortly after, Joe showed up and led me to the back of the house. He showed me where he suspected one corner of the property line was. It turned out to be inline and forward of a metal fence post. I had my Equinox 800 so I set the mode to Field 2, turned the sensitivity way down in the single digits and expected a -5 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Property markers are made out of rebar, which is iron and gives a very low tone on the machine. It took a few swings before I got the -5. Joe and I looked at the plat and got the distance for the far west corner. I had my measuring wheel with me so it made measuring the distance easier. After a few false readings, I was able to home in on a -5. I started digging a hole and saw the pink tape that is used to wrap the top of the rebar property marker. Again, Joe and I got the distance for the south marker and rolled it off. Here’s where things got complicated. Since the plat was done, the road in front of the house has gone from a two lane to a four lane highway with sidewalks running on both sides and in our case a metal storm drain had been installed. I wasn’t able to find the 3rd property marker. Joe is going to see if he can get an updated plat from the county and if so, will call me so we can try again. One thing is for sure; Joe’s son’s property extended probably 40 plus feet from where a previous owner had installed a fence.

Joe – Thanks for giving me a call to help. Keep me posted.

Lost White Gold Ring Found in Toledo Ohio (Phone Assist Find)

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I’m Outta Time!… Caleb exclaimed when I picked up his call. He barely got the words out that his ring went missing and he thought it was in the yard or in a 3 foot tall by 30 foot long leaf pile in the street. The problem was that he heard the city leaf vacuum truck on the next block, perhaps heading towards him very soon. I was an hour away so I mentioned that he should first start looking thru the street pile as fast as possible and let me know if the ring is found. We ended the call and he rushed out there. An hour or so later I got the picture of him with his ring! A return call revealed that as the vacuum truck was a few houses away, he was shakin’ like a leaf when he found the ring but after relaxing felt like a champion that he wasn’t swept by the competition!

I got a call from Bruno that he lost a 18 karat gold ring on the Fort Lauderdale beach in front of Hugh Taylor birch State Park. I wasn’t having any luck until he told me that he had moved a lot of sand. I then expanded the search area and found it . He was very very happy. Please read his testimonial below.

 

Craig was fantastic! I hired him to come to Fort Lauderdale Beach with his metal detector after losing my wedding gold ring in the sand. He was incredibly kind, responsive, professional, and dedicated to helping me find it. He did an excellent job, and thanks to his efforts, I got my ring back! I highly recommend Craig to anyone who needs help finding something valuable. Thank you, Craig!

Lost Silver Pandora Ring Recovered In Owings Mills, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Paris the other day letting me know she lost her ring a day before in a grassy field. She found me after doing an AI search on the web. We made plans to meet up the next day. Paris had a great recollection of the area and directed me into a grassy area where she believed the ring to be. After about 20 minutes of searching, I was successful! Paris was so grateful and I could sense the sincerity of her appreciation. I’m so glad I was successful, but a lot of that credit goes to Paris for recalling exactly where she was when the ring was lost.

Hopefully you will never need my services, but if you do, don’t hesitate to contact me.

I was contacted by Dylan who lost his ring outside his grandparents’ house in a small wooded area. It was a very special ring that was a family heirloom.

Arrangements were made and I met Dylan who showed me where he thought he had lost the ring. It was a pretty standard area, some trees and leaves, etc. I started searching and it was not very long before I heard that sweet sound of gold. Suddenly I uncovered Dylan’s ring that was hiding in the dirt and leaves.

Dylan was very grateful to have his keepsake back. It was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client and reunite him with his lost ring!

I was contacted by Keri when her husband lost his wedding band doing yard work in the backyard. Unfortunately I was on the other side of Pittsburgh finishing up an unsuccessful search and would not be able to make it out that day.

After the weather dealt us another setback I was finally able make it out to do the search. I truly appreciated the patience that was displayed. The backyard had some tall grass, branches, along with a brick firepit. I started to search and was not having much luck. I did have some good sounds by the firepit so I moved back over and started to cover that area again. I got another good sound but could not locate it. I started to root around a little bit more with my pin pointer and there was the ring tucked in between the bricks.

I was very pleased to recover the ring and return it. I also learned that they had only been married a short time. As always it was great to meet kind and generous clients and recover their lost wedding ring!
