Product Information:

The fine folks at Anderson Detector Shafts sent out an Excalibur II travel shaft for long term testing and evaluation 🙂 The product looks and feels very well built and should be a nice upgrade for traveling with an Excalibur II.

Anderson Detector Shafts also builds some really nice looking Carbon Fiber shafts,  and a variety of other quaility detecting products.

Ryan at Andeson Detector Shafts will be your point of contact.

Product Information:

Repairing or Cleaning your scratched Metal Detectors Display Screen.

Several months back while working a job, I rubbed the display screen on my CTX3030  with a wet muddy glove and scratched the display screen.

The scratches were not always visable, but with the sun hitting it just right, it was very noticable and distracting.

 Came across this product by accident, but it worked very well on repairing the display screen on my CTX330; I feel pretty confident it would work well on any detectors display screen.

The product came out of a 3M headlight restoration kit purchased at Harbor Freight. After using the kit for it’s intended purpose, I tried a dab of the final polishing compound on the CTX3030’s screen and it took out the scratches with no problem.

The screen looks new again.

Recent Discovery, the new White’s Bullseye TRX Pinpointer.

As I favor Minelab products, I am going on my 6th and 7th Minelab pinpointer pro. (all under warranty) I am not sure if it’s the Texas heat, humidy, or moisture while occasionally operating in some damp enviroments, but failures have plagued my pinpointers. 

I was getting ready to send both back on warranty issues, and did not want to be without a pinpointer. A quick Google search, and I discovered White’s had jus released the new Bullseye TRX.

Although, I have not field tested the new TRX, I am really liking the sensitivity, as well as the lanyard attachments on both the pointer and carrier.

The build seems solid, and if it runs trouble free, it might be my new go to product for pinpointers.

 Thanks,

Lost White Gold Wedding Band in Coquitlam, BC…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

I received a call the other night just before I was going to bed as I had to work early the next morning.  Tim told me that he lost his ring the day before while he was playing in the snow with his daughter. It was our first big snow dump this year.

I made arrangements to meet Tim and help find his ring,  I got there and he showed me the area where he believed his ring may be lost… this turned out to be quite a large area but I knew it was just a matter time and we would find it. Tim had his gloves on but remember where he took them off to take pictures of his daughter.  I started where he got ready to go to his truck to load the family but no ring.

I was fighting the power lines which were very close and these were the big Hightower power lines… It really sets off your Detector. We worked our way to the top of the hill where his family were sledding down and he took off his gloves a few times to take pictures… a total of approximately 40 minutes and we found his beautiful wedding band!

Tim was pretty happy to see his wedding band again and you can tell it meant the world to him! I have the greatest job in the world… I get to make people smile.

Thank you very much Tim for the very generous reward, I will donate 15% to Children’s Hospital as I do with all my rewards. Remember to checkout  »RingSafe » on our sponsor link on our website…This may prevent a future repeat of what happened today.

Thanks for reading my blog!

Best, Chris Turner

I Lost My Ring, How To Find A Lost Ring

  • from Fredericton (New Brunswick, Canada)
Contact:

If you are reading this, then your solution is at hand.

Most people, after losing something very precious, valuable or important to them, will Google the two title phrases. Then some think about renting a metal detector and trying to find it themselves. While that is an option, it is not the best or most efficient one.  Let me explain with a little story.

34 years ago, when I bought my first metal detector, I planned to find treasure and get rich. So out to my backyard I went and swung that detector from morning until bed. After 2 days of searching every square inch, and digging every beep, I’d found hundreds of metal bits, and $1.32.

Later in the summer, a family friend was over for dinner and, excited to see my detector in action, threw his chunky college ring into the grass. I attacked the area, proud to show off its capabilities. After 2 hrs of me searching, he took pity on me, walked over and picked his ring out of the very area I’d been repeatedly searching over.

34 yrs later, I’ve upgraded and know my equipment, and how to search properly…and I rarely miss the rings/targets anymore. I have many stories of happy people who are looking, once again, at the very item they thought was lost forever. All because they called or contacted me and let me do what I do best.

Let me help you be reunited with your lost item.

Thanks,  Steve

Keys Found in Franklin, MA

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

On Valentine’s Day, I received a telephone call from Kelley, a fellow employee, explaining that she had lost her keys in the company’s parking lot somewhere in the snow.  It was my day off, and another employee suggested that she call to see if I could help.  The company has huge parking lots, so I was concerned that it may have been plowed into one of the huge mounds of snow, but I agreed to give it a shot.  I searched three areas of the parking lot where she thought she may have dropped the keys without any luck.  Finally, I searched around a light pole in the parking lot and found the set of keys.  Kelley said it was the best Valentine’s Day present she could have received!

Lost Ring Sugar Land, Texas (Recovered)

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)
Contact:

Received the following e-mail:

Hello John,

I saw your info on theringfinders.com website. I lost my wedding band this past week and was looking into renting a metal detector in hopes of finding it, but then I found you in a Google search. Would you expect the same payment whether the ring is found or not? I’d be willing to pay $**** if found, but $**** if not for your time. I don’t know if that’d be worth your while, but just wanted to be honest up front about what I’m willing/able to pay. If that’s
reasonable for you, please email me back and we can try to arrange a time to meet at the park. Thank you for even considering!

Best,
David

I met with David and his son at a local park in Sugar Land where they had played baseball a few days earlier. David said, he and his son were throwing the ball and he was pretty sure his Platinum Wedding Ring came off of his finger when he had taken off his baseball glove. David pointed out an area in the park where he and his son had been playing, and then walked the area with me, highlighting the areas he had remembered pulling off his glove.

The search area in the park was about 100′ by 100′ of flat level grass. I was pretty sure this would be a quick easy find, thinking this should be a really low trash area and the ring should be a fast find. Well the park had a lot of false signals requiring me to stop and dig through the grass frequently checking for the ring.

After about an hour, and moving another 10′ outside of the original search area, success a good solid signal. I looked into the grass and saw the ring. I had given David’s son one of my handheld Pin-Pointers to play with, and I could see he was about 20-30- feet away digging in the grass looking for treasures of his own.

I called him over, and asked him to check this  particular area for his Dad’s Wedding Ring. After a few minutes of working his handheld in the grass, the handheld sounded and he found the ring. It was pretty cool seeing David’s son finding his father’s ring. It was a Kodak moment.

Lost Wedding Band… Found at The Quad Cities (Port Byron, Ill.)

Contact:

I received an email from Breyana on Feb. 17th. She said her husband and her had been sledding and coming down the hill his gloves had filled up with snow. At the bottom he took them off and shook them and his hands and his ring went flying into the powdery snow.

They searched but couldn’t find it. She then googled for help and the ringfinders site came up. I emailed her back and then she gave me a call and we arranged to meet today.

The sledding was done at her in-laws farm and we had to walk in a ways but not real far. She then showed me the place where the ring was lost. Almost immediately I got a signal on the CTX3030. It showed 12-35 and not very deep. She had put me right on top of the ring! Breyana's ring

My easiest search so far, this makes up for some of those very long tough ones! Good luck ringfinders.

Lost Engagement Ring… Found Independence, Iowa

Contact:

ring Jan. 2014 ClintI received my first call for 2014 on Jan. 28th from a young man who found the ringfinders website. He regrettably  became angry at his fiancée and gave her engagement ring a toss.

They were in a parking lot at the time and it had recently snowed. He said he saw it bounce off the drive that led out of the lot and then lost sight of it. When he looked for the ring, it wasn’t on the pavement anywhere. So he thought it landed in the snow on the side of the drive.

He then rented a detector but couldn’t find it. He then found me and gave me a call. When I arrived the next day after work I went through some snow he had shoveled into a pile hoping the ring would be in it but all I found was a dime.

I then started my first pass beside the drive and I got a 12-15 hit on the CTX3030 but it was in the frozen ground so that couldn’t be it. The next hit was a 12-05 at about two inches and from just beneath the snow I pulled up the ring. We both were very relieved, him more than me.

So I hope this is a sign of good things to come in the new year. Good luck to all the ringfinders out there.
