A Different Search in Kelowna BC.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

A lady called me that her husband had lost 2 gold rings, one of them large wedding ring. Asking questions on their loss, she explained that the loss is in his business office. I advised her that a metal detector has issues indoors due to all the electrical units around, but that I would respond and do a complete search. At the office I asked him what he did to lose the rings, he explained that working on his keyboard the wedding ring was so large it interfered with his typing, so he always takes them off and puts them on the desk. I spent one hour searching every part of the room, his files, cupboards, chairs, visually, and with a pinpointer with no success. In the end I advised them that to lose two rings was unlikely and I suspected that someone entered his office and stole them. I told them to search their clothing and vehicle, I also recommended that they submit a police report in case they show up at a pawn shop.   At least they have the satisfaction of knowing that the rings are not in the office.

Buried but Not Lost: A Platinum Wedding Ring Recovered in Spring, Texas

Buried but Not Lost: A Platinum Wedding Ring Recovered in Spring, Texas:
I was recently contacted regarding the loss of a platinum wedding ring at a residence in Spring, Texas. The homeowner explained that the ring went missing shortly after completing cold-weather protection preparation in the front yard of his home.
Before the cold weather arrived here in Texas, he had spread a large volume of mulch across multiple flower beds. He covered several plants with protective sheets to guard against freezing temperatures. It wasn’t until the following evening that he realized his wedding ring was no longer on his finger.
He searched briefly but quickly became overwhelmed. The search area was extensive, the mulch was freshly laid, and numerous plants had been handled and covered. Knowing the odds were stacked against him, he turned to the internet—and that search led him to Houston Metal Detecting Services.
Arrangements were made to meet at his residence that same day.
The search area was sizable, consisting of a large grassy front lawn and several mulch-covered flower beds. From the start, I knew this recovery would be more challenging than a typical surface find. Given the circumstances, it was unlikely the ring would be sitting on top of the grass or caught in the roots. The more probable scenario was that it had been unknowingly buried beneath fresh mulch in one of the flower beds.
We began with the easier portion of the search—the front lawn. After carefully covering the entire grassy area with no success, attention shifted to the flower beds. These beds had recently received several inches of new mulch, making a visual search nearly impossible.
Working methodically through the beds, the signal finally came in.
As shown in the photos, the platinum wedding ring was recovered from approximately three inches beneath fresh mulch in one of the front flower beds. Another wedding ring, once thought lost for good, was safely returned to its rightful owner.
Moments like this are exactly why I do what I do—helping people recover items that carry far more value than metal alone.

Call Surf City Ring Finder-

Chris called me and explained to me about the loss of his wife’s ring at Sunset Beach. They were already on their way home to Northern California but he sent me a video of where they were on the beach. I went to the beach after work and used his video to find the area they weee at. After detecting for about 30 minutes I located the lost ring. The ring was pretty deep in the sand as the high tide had gone over it after the loss. His brother lives in Orange County so he was able to pick it up for him.

Amy lost her Class Ring on January 26th 2026 while she was enjoying the day in Central Park.

Beyond the Backyard: A Cypress Wedding Ring Recovery

Beyond the Backyard: A Cypress Wedding Ring Recovery
Tim’s call came in with a familiar tone—hope mixed with frustration. He explained that he was looking for someone to help recover his lost wedding ring, which had disappeared in the backyard of his home in Cypress, Texas.
The day before, Tim had been in the yard throwing a ball for his Labrador retriever, enjoying a normal afternoon at home. On one of the throws, he felt his wedding ring slip from his finger. Tim told me he distinctly remembered seeing a brief glimpse of the ring as it flew straight up into the air before he lost sight of it completely. Despite searching on his own, the ring was nowhere to be found.
The following day, I arrived at Tim’s residence and began a detailed grid search of his backyard. With no clear direction of travel and no visible clues, every inch of the yard needed to be carefully checked. Although the search was thorough, it produced no results. Still, Tim remained confident—he knew what he felt, and he knew what he saw.
Based on Tim’s account of the ring’s trajectory, we decided to expand the search area beyond the original yard and into the neighboring property. That decision made all the difference. After carefully scanning the adjacent backyard, the metal detector gave a strong, unmistakable signal. Hidden in the grass was Tim’s wedding ring—well concealed, but right where the physics of the throw suggested it might be.
Handing the ring back to Tim was the best part of the job. What began as a moment of loss ended with relief, gratitude, and a powerful reminder that sometimes answers lie just beyond where we first think to look.
Another ring recovered—and another story with a happy ending

It can be better to be blessed than be good and/or lucky – Lost gold ring found in the snow in Pittsburgh by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter

  • 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…

While it is always a blessing to make a recovery for my clients this one and the last have been nothing short of miracles! There is no way I make them without some devine intervention and some additional help from St. Anthony and I pray it continues.

I was contacted by Alex who said he lost his ring after he slipped and fell in the snow. After he fell and got up his ring had disappeared in the snow. This was no ordinary ring…as you will see from the picture it was a monster gold ring with diamonds, maybe my largest recovery to date.

I met Alex outside of an apartment complex where he stated he lost his ring. It has been almost a week since he lost it and I had talked to a maintenance worker who stated that they had recently done some additional snow removal. Alex showed me the patch of snow he thought he had lost his ring. The maintenance guy stated that it looked like someone had fell in another area too. Alex was pretty sure he knew where he slipped but after almost a week he wasn’t entirely positive based on what the worker had said. I started to search the first area to no avail. There were some good sounds but when we uncovered the ground – nothing! I then moved to the other area the maintenance man mentioned and checked it. I was unable to locate anything good…there was a lot of interference from the sidewalk and other targets. I had been using my trusty Garrett AT Pro but thought it might be time for the Minelab Manticore. Maybe the 2D screen could provide some additional help. I hit the area again but with negative results. In the meantime Alex was trying to get in touch with his friend to get some more information about the area we should be concentrating on. I was becoming frustrated that I could not find it, from Alex’s description of the ring it should have been screaming in my headset like I was at an AC/DC concert. After we had moved snow, checked the area thoroughly several times I was deflated. I started to check some other random areas where I had yet to look. I went on the opposite side of the sidewalk and overtop of about a 5 foot snowpile. Towards the top of the pile I got a sound but it wasn’t overwhelming. None the less I was like what in the heck could be in the top of the snowbank. I got out my pinpointer and started to search and there I could see the glint of gold. I could not believe my eyes. I said to Alex there it is…at first he did not see it. Then he looked again and we pulled it out of the snow.

Alex was estatic to say the least and I was in disbelief. Based on my observations the maintenance worker must have scooped it up on his shovel and deposited it where we found it. Hence, my opening, there is no way I make this recovery without some extra assistance! As always it was great to make a (miracle) recovery and meet another kind and generous client.

Houston Metal Detecting Services – Awesome Wedding Ring Recovery

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)
Contact:
Not every recovery takes place on a beach or in a lake—sometimes the lost treasures are hiding just a few feet from home.
I received a call from Gabriel in Houston, who was understandably anxious. The previous night, during a heavy rainstorm, his wife stepped out of his truck in their driveway. As she reached to swing the door closed, her loose-fitting wedding ring slipped from her finger and vanished into the thick grass along the side yard. Despite hours of searching on their hands and knees, the ring seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
When I arrived the next afternoon, Gabriel walked me through exactly what happened. The grass was deep and wet from the rain, the kind of ground where a small ring can easily sink out of sight.
Just a few minutes into the search, a solid signal rang out near the area Gabriel suspected. A quick sweep of the pinpointer, a gentle push through the grass—and there it was, his wife’s wedding ring resting just beneath the surface, hidden by the blades.
The look of relief on Gabriel’s face said it all. Moments later, he placed the ring back into his wife’s hand, and you could feel the weight of the moment—one more memory preserved, one more sentimental treasure recovered.
Always a privilege to help bring these stories full circle.

Houston Metal Detecting Services – Texas A&M Class of 2000 Ring Recovery

Houston Metal Detecting Services – Texas A&M Class of 2000 Ring Recovery
Two weeks ago, Steven reached out with a tough request: help finding his lost Texas A&M Class of 2000 ring at A.D. Dyess Park in East Houston.
Steven explained that while coaching a softball practice, the unthinkable happened. Between hitting grounders in the outfield, he took off his ring and slipped it into his pocket. Later, after running across the field several times, he remembered pulling his phone from that same pocket and suspected that’s when the ring was lost. The problem? Steven wasn’t sure where in the outfield it had happened.
Over the following two weeks, Steven conducted an extensive search. He even purchased his own metal detector and scanned the field multiple times, but with no luck. That’s when he decided to call in professional help.
The Recovery Effort
I met Steven today at the field, and together we set up visual grid markers to organize the search. We discussed his detector, reviewed the settings, and assigned him a sector of the field to work on. While Steven worked his grid carefully, I began expanding my search beyond the marked area.
It didn’t take long before I hit a strong signal about five feet outside Steven’s search grid. I quickly repositioned four of the grid markers around the signal and called out, “Let’s take a break.”
As Steven walked back across the outfield, I asked him to run his own detector over the marked area—just to confirm it was working properly. Within a few swings, his machine gave a solid hit. Steven looked down and there it was: his Texas A&M Class of 2000 ring shining back at him from the grass.
The Moment
The look on Steven’s face was absolutely priceless. After weeks of searching and countless hours of effort, his ring was finally back where it belonged.
This recovery marks another memorable success for Houston Metal Detecting Services—bringing us up to around 40 Texas A&M class rings returned to their owners. Every one of them carries a unique story, and Steven’s recovery is another reminder of why we enjoy doing this work.

Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered from Murky Tiki Island Waters

Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered from Murky Tiki Island Waters
Today, Houston Metal Detecting Services successfully reunited a 1985 Texas A&M class ring with its rightful owner—Tim, a Colorado resident—after it spent the last several months buried beneath the murky waters of a residential canal on Tiki Island.
Back in March, Tim was visiting friends on Tiki Island when the unexpected happened. While standing on the second-story deck of the home, tossing chips to a flock of eager seagulls, Tim said he felt his ring slip off his finger mid-throw. He watched in disbelief as it arced through the air and disappeared into the water, about 25 feet out from the balcony into the canal below.
Despite making several attempts to retrieve it himself over the following days, diving into the canal’s zero-visibility water, Tim quickly learned that the bottom was a thick, mucky mess—making the task next to impossible.
Months passed. Unsure whether recovery was even feasible, Tim contacted a local metal detecting club in the Galveston area, who referred him to Houston Metal Detecting Services, recognizing the technical difficulty of such a recovery: deep open water, zero visibility, and a silty bottom.
Tim and I spoke about the challenges, and he mentioned he was planning another visit to his friends’ home on Tiki Island. We agreed to meet that weekend to evaluate the area. A bottom probe revealed a 2–5 inch layer of soft muck resting atop a firmer base—making the ring potentially recoverable with the right equipment and precision technique.
With a plan in place, the actual search took place today. After carefully marking the suspected drop zone, suiting up, and working methodically through the silted bottom, the unmistakable ping of the detector confirmed what we were hoping for: Tim’s class ring was still there.
The ring was successfully recovered and, as the attached photos show, Tim is once again the proud owner of his cherished 1985 Texas A&M ring—and he’ll be taking it back home to Colorado as a symbol of both Aggie pride and persistence.
Another recovery complete. Another story added to the adventure.
