I got a call late in the day that a wedding ring had been lost over the weekend. He’d been working out in the compost pile moving things around, moving dirt to the flower beds, trimming branches, etc. All the fun things that homeowners do. At the end of the day he realized his wedding ring had come off. He borrowed a friend’s metal detector, but hadn’t had any luck recovering the ring, which is when he called me. I met him at his house the next morning, and began searching the flower beds, garden paths, and compost pile. The ring turned out to be in the compost pile, amongst the yard trimmings, food scraps, coffee grounds, etc. As with most husband-ring-recoveries, he was happy, but his wife was overjoyed. Glad to be able to help! Another Happy Ending!
I got a call from a gentleman who had decided to wash his dog in the front yard of his house. He took his wedding ring off, set it on the towel, washed the dog, then grabbed the towel before the dog decided to run around and get dirty again. Mission accomplished — the dog was clean and the drying towel was in the washer, but the wedding ring was nowhere to be found. He and a friend searched the yard but were unable to find it. He called and I came out that afternoon to try to recover it for him. After about 45 minutes, I was able to find the ring, but I also found a sterling silver St. Christopher pendant. He was excited to get the ring back, but was amazed to see the pendant, which he and his wife had gotten for their daughter in Italy. It had been lost for over a year!
Christina and Scott recently got married this past Memorial Day Weekend, and today was their first day on the beach in Ocean City, NJ as a married couple! I received a call from Christina late in the afternoon yesterday who told me that her husband lost his wedding band while applying sunscreen after a swim in the ocean. It was a joy to recover the lost ring within minutes of searching so the newlyweds could relax and enjoy the rest of their vacation.
June 27th, I was called up to a Door County cottage to find a ring that was lost the previous weekend. It was next to the dock on the « fishing » end of the lake, which means muck and weeds! It took me 90 minutes of probing with a small coil on the Minelab Equinox 800 and a Vibraprobe, but after being misled by a few really old beer cans that were opened with a can opener and a few bottle caps and pop tabs, I finally teased it out of 18″ of muck. I also looked at the far end of the dock for a gold watch that was lost years ago, but the silt was shoulder deep, so all I got was a beauty treatment, if that is what muck in your hair does. The water felt good, though. It was nice to get Chris’s 14k gold wedding band back on his finger where it belongs.

Shawn and her husband are planning to move to another house and before they say good bye to their home in Longwood they desperately want to find his wedding ring which slipped off of his finger while swimming in the pool. Apparently the « pool guy » had not been doing his job very well and the water had turned a chalky white and visibility was only a foot or two. And neither Shawn nor her husband could hold their breath long enough to search the deeper part of the pool with their goggles.
Since they were going to be moving out in a few days they were getting very anxious about not being able to find the custom made lost wedding ring and that led them to do an online search for someone to help them. Theringfinders.com came up and after reading a few of my successful recovery stories Shawn decided to give me a call. (You see, most of my requests to find lost items are usually to search in yards, parks, beaches, lakes and places like that and the saying « Like shooting fish in a barrel » came to mind! But of coarse every search I have been on there is always some sort of challenge involved and many times it ends up being more difficult than first imagined.)
So that same day I was able to meet Shawn and as I surveyed the pool I settled on using my scuba tank and 50 foot Gator Gill hose along with my mask, fins, weight belt and flashlight. I entered the pool and slowly sank to the bottom making my way along one side while shinning my light along the bottom hoping to catch a glimpse of gold. I swam to the deep end and there were leaves and debris on the bottom and I carefully went thru each pile trying not to stir everything up. Shawn said her husband’s ring was rather wide so there was no fear that it could slide down the slits in the drain. I slowly circled the drain making my way in wider circles and BINGO!, there was the lost custom made ring just sitting there waiting to be found! I surfaced and made my way to the shallow end and began to shine my light into the house and Shawn came out–all excited and all smiles!
I thank God for allowing me to be a help to this young couple and now their story can continue and they do not have to worry about leaving their wedding ring behind!

With more recreational activities opening back up, the pictured couple took some time to improve their golf swings late last June.
All was par for the course until hole 6. Swinging her club, she watched the ball hook and go into some bushes. To avoid the penalty of being driven out of bounds, they chased it. Upon recovering the ball and exiting the brush, a branch grazed her right ear. Once back on course, she noticed her gold diamond stud earring missing. These were a gift from her husband over a decade ago. A visual search combined with buying a metal detector and having a person from a local metal detecting club search produced a very high handicap. Quite tee’d off they came to the foregone conclusion it was gone. Swingin’ it one last time they reached out for help. When I arrived on site today I took a read of the other earring stud post with my detector. Armed with the information of my opponent we headed for the brush area. Searching the shaded area where the branch hit her yielded no results. Scanning the thick grass in the direction she exited I got a soft repeatable signal in the range of the earring. Probing thru the grass revealed the backing of the earring. She was thrilled! I realized the stud post would be from this point « fore » ward and scanning about a foot away I got the same signal but a bit louder. Reaching down and probing thru the grass revealed this gorgeous white gold diamond stud earring! I said Lady and gentleman we have a stud! She zoomed over and when she reached down and pulled it from the 3 inch deep, twisted grass I yelled teeriffic! Once outside the grass area she was at a loss for words and could not believe it was found and was ready to give up. Posing for a few pics and chatting a bit we enjoyed the moment, realizing that with this hole in one, we all really stroked the winning putt, the loss no longer put a wedge between them and with driving ambition we can succeed against all odds.

Boyd gave me a call and asked what the chances were of finding a lost i-phone in a lake. After hearing his story and getting a bit more information on the how, when and where…I decided to gather up all my gear and give it the ol « college try »!
Boyd’s wife, Elizabeth wrote this… »It is so nice to be able to text you from my miraculously working phone! Here is my review of your services. Mike is a Methodical Miracle Worker! I dropped my phone in a lake in a paddle boarding mishap. While I knew the approximate area where my phone was, the aquatic vegetation and algae were extremely thick, rendering visibility very difficult. After five days of searching to no avail, I knew that we needed to call in a professional–and that is exactly what Mike is! Upon his arrival, I was immediately impressed with his careful, intentional approach; he uses high-quality, specialized equipment and takes care to search the area deliberately. Despite this being an objectively difficult task–my phone was a « needle in a haystack, » buried in a fairly large area with very thick vegetation and varying depths of water–Mike kept a positive, professional attitude in every moment. And the moment he pulled my lost phone from among the lake weeds was one of pure joy. Thank you Mike! I wholeheartedly recommend your services. »
During my search I used a 5 foot by 20 foot pvc submersible grid that allowed me to thoroughly cover the thick vegetation while pushing and forcing my 5 and one half inch Pulse Dive hand held metal detector/pinpointer through the weeded lake bottom. I also used my 50 foot hose and regulator by Gator Gill and floated my scuba tank on my small kayak. It took a good two hours of searching but thank God we were successful in the end! And thank you Elizabeth for giving me the opportunity to serve you and for the great review!

I received a call this morning from a young man who told me that he lost his gold wedding band at China Creek Park in Vancouver. He went on to tell me he was about 80% sure it was lost in the park, I asked him a few questions and explain to him that this would be a closure search, meaning that if the ring was there I would find it, and because there was a 20% chance it wouldn’t be there it could show up somewhere else…Car, house, store…
He also told me that he lost the wedding band four days ago and that he came back with his dad and they both raked the area hoping the ring would show up. This is the second search in a row that I’ve heard that the people have been raking the grass looking for their ring, it’s not a bad idea, it might pop it up, but you have to go over it.
When I got to the park (Murphy’s Law again) they were already halfway through cutting the grass, I saw a young man walking towards the lawnmower 4×4 and he started talking to the Parks Board gentleman who was cutting the grass. When I got closer and met Devon (Great Guy!), he told me they were going to hold off on cutting the grass where the ring was lost, as they hadn’t made it to that area yet.
Devon showed me the area where he believed he had lost his ring, I asked him to make a square in the grass by dragging his foot as the grass is a little damp and left marks so I can see where he thought the ring was lost. I began my search and after 10 minutes I found his beautiful wedding band that was hiding inches under the grass.
I surprise Devon with the ring and got to see his great smile and how happy it made him, he was married for less than a year and told me how hard that was knowing that he lost it. It was an honor to find your wedding band, Devon!

This morning I met with a young couple from Quebec, vacationing at Sand Banks, Prince Edward County, for the week. Unfortunately, she lost her engagement ring at the beach yesterday while placing it in her nap sack before going for a swim. Let me suggest to you that if your ring has any monetary/sentimental value, have your initials and phone number engraved inside the band and perhaps have it ensured. Bad situation that ends well. Her reaction video, below, is really worth watching. Another happy customer. Life is good. 😊
Miranda was spending the day enjoying the North Carolina sun and removed her ring before going for a dip into the Atlantic Ocean. It wasn’t until after they had left she realized the ring was lost. When she returned to search, someone told her there was a detectorist hunting the same area she had set up earlier. After an online search she messaged me and asked if I was the one on the beach earlier that day. Neither I or some my nearby friends who detect had hunted that area. I then proceeded to Bogue Inlet Pier to conduct a night hunt. Because of a misunderstanding of location the hunt took me almost 3 hours before I found the ring! It was a huge relief for the both of us as it was very hot even at 2:00 am and I was hunting the soft dry sand. I returned the ring to her later that afternoon!
