While tossing a football with friends, the ball bounced into the water beyond the backyard bulkhead. Cale removed his shirt and watch before jumping into the waist-deep water but couldn’t remember whether he had removed his ring or placed it in his pocket.
Was the ring lost in the water or somewhere in the backyard?
We made the trip to Sargent the following Saturday and started searching the grassy area where Cale had left his belongings. It didn’t take long! His missing Aggie ring was found hidden deep in the thick Saint Augustine grass, nearly impossible to spot without a metal detector.
Another successful recovery, and Cale’s Texas A&M ring is now heading home to South Carolina!

Well this was an EXTREME first for me!
Got a call from a range safety officer at a near-by long distant gun range. He advised me a gentleman had shot his titanium suppressor off his 300 PRC and it had traveled about 100-150 yards.
The terrain has wash out ditches and briars. “GOOD TIMES!”
So after work, I headed to the range, met up with this gentleman and two other guys that had been searching for it for hours already.
I get set up and start walking and veered to the left of where he shot and there it was! I had searched what these wound ring up as on my XP DEUS II and it told me 88 and above (WRONG) it was a 69/70 VDI. Luckily I saw it! Only took me about 10 mins to find it. I got very lucky to have walked and veered to the left!

Received a text from this sweet lady saying she had lost a gold erring while cleaning around a grape vine row. The back had fallen off and unfortunately the gold earring popped out of her ear and into the grass/leaves.
I get the layout and the details. She has the other earring so I used that as my target range. (VDI 30-32)
I get my machine all set up and start down one side and within 10-12 feet I get a hit!!! It was her earring!
I found out it had been lost for about a month after I started my search.

Reno, Nevada — November 1st, 2026: Lost Gold Wedding Ring Found by Owner with the help of metal detector specialist Trevor Oxborrow.
Got a message on Facebook from Maribel on Friday, October 30th: “I might have an odd request, But it’s really important to me.”
Tragically, her home was destroyed by a devastating fire. She and her kids were left with only what they were wearing the day of the fire.
Her request: “I would love to recover my wedding ring.”
I explained that my metal detector would be next to worthless searching through the burnt house debris. But I was willing to help search.
With the final home debris removal date looming, she needed to find her lost wedding ring ASAP. We scheduled Sunday, November 1st, for the ring search.
The good news, Maribel knew exactly where the ring was located at the time of the fire — on a small ceramic plate to right of her bathroom sink.
For three hours we lifted, moved, and sifted through burnt wood, broken granite countertop, crushed cabinetry, tuffs of insulation, folded over siding, and melted personal effects.
We finally got down to a layer of ash, dirt, and occasional cosmetics that indicated we were searching in the right area.
At three and a half hours we were both tired and ready to give up. I scraped a top layer of ash from an area to the left of where the ring should have been—and had just started using my pinpointer on that pile of ash—when Maribel started searching the new cleared area. At that very moment, she moved two bottles of melted cosmetics and yelled “here it is!”
Wow! That was a tough search.
I was so relieved we found her ring and she was super happy!
My advice if you’re looking for your lost ring — “don’t give up hope, and perseverance will be rewarded.”


This Gold & Diamonds Bracelet hunt began Friday afternoon as I was driving home from a Ko Olina hunt, when my phone rang. Alvin from San Francisco, on his 1st Anniversary vacation said his lovely wife Agnes lost her bracelet the night before as they were walking along Ala Moana Beach after sunset. My first thought was almost 24 hours have gone by and that beach has many detectorists and foot traffic. The sand is also very packed and not very soft for the metal to penetrate. Alvin thankfully was able to retrace their route from his phone. We met a short time later and I followed Alvin along the path. The beach was fairly sterile of targets so we got to the area they had stopped and I did a quick grid search in the soft sand there. I did find a small pendant but no bracelet. Since I traced my route by dragging my scoop in the sand I went back on the opposite side to expand the path. We got to the grassy area and I suggested one more lap back on the other side to take care of any GPS position error. About a third of the way I got a loud low tone and as I looked down I could see the shape of a bracelet just under the sand and gravel where the King Tide had washed ashore the previous night. I pushed my scoop gently into the sand and Gold and Diamonds appeared in the sunlight. I was as shocked as Alvin was. I reached down and picked up the bracelet, wiped it off and handed it to Alvin. We just witnessed a miracle and blessing. Had there not been the King Tides the bracelet would have been exposed and easily seen. Thank you Jesus! Alvin and Agnes were able to celebrate their 1st Anniversary with the sentimental bracelet her mother had made for her, on her wrist. Much Aloha to Agnes & Alvin!
