Buried Silver Found!

  • from Washburn (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

While out detecting one day I received a call from a man who told me that he had buried some silver bars and coins in the 1980s and was now unable to find them. Of course I would help! After a nice lunch prepared by his wife, the search was on. The plastic bucket containing the cache was not to be found under the bunkhouse where he thought he buried it. After over an hour of digging, we decided to try another side of the building. Instantly a solid, repeatable signal was detected and the digging began. In no time, a plastic bag was discovered and silver coins spilled out. After removing the bag, a plastic bucket was revealed, dragged out, and opened. The lost treasure had been found! He already sold the treasure and put it into his retirement account. Truly a once in a lifetime experience ☺️

Lost in sand volleyball court-14k Pendant FOUND! Peoria, Arizona

  • from Peoria (Arizona, United States)
Contact:

I got a call late at night from a guy who had lost his very sentimental Crucifix while playing sand volleyball at a local park. (he felt his chain snag on the net and snap, and he looked down and saw the chain which he scooped up but could not find the pendant). They had gone back with a cheap chinese detector with no luck. He had to work so I met his girlfriend at the park the next day. I had done some testing at home on a small crucifix of mine and chose my Gold Bug 2 for the search (I brought along a White’s Treasure Pro for just in case but never pulled it out). She showed me the spot she remembered him being at the time, but I ended up searching a roughly 15′ x 15′ area and found it about 10 diagonal feet on the other side of the net! Ironically, about 30 seconds before the recovery, his girlfriend was on the phone with him and said to me: he’s asking if you think you will find it and I told her that unless some lucky duck had happened along and found it sitting on the surface which was extremely unlikely that my machine would find it; and right exactly then, Bingo! He was still on the phone and jokingly told me that if it was not found he would have cried for a year haha. I was so happy for him!

White Gold and Diamond Pendant Recovered

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Recently while enjoying a wonderful warm afternoon in her backyard Melinda’s prized white gold with 3/4 carat diamond pendent went missing. Melinda was holding one of dogs when his paw got caught up in her necklace and pulled it away from her neck. She managed to catch her necklace, but the pendant had managed to escape her grasp and had disappeared into the grass. Melinda and her 80-year-old mother spent hours on their hands and knees searching for the pendant. She even went as far as borrowing a detector from a neighbor and tried to find her pendent but had no luck as she had no idea how to setup the machine to recover such a target.

She sent me a text about my ability to find her pendant; I happened to be in area and actually had my XP Deus with high-frequency coil with me. We exchanged a few texts and finally a phone call to finalize search details. I was pulling up to her house just over an hour from first contact from Melinda. She explained what had happened, where she was standing when the pendent went missing. The search areas was small but so is the pendent. I set up my machine and Melinda went inside to grab a sport drink for me. With the first swing of my machine a good signal rang out, I pulled back the grass the pendent revealed itself. When Melinda returned with the drink, I was holding her pendent out for her to see. I think she was in disbelief that I had found it so fast.

Lost White Gold Wedding Band at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began as I was searching the southern half of Aulani Lagoon.  A young lady asked what I was doing and I pull my detector up out of the water and said looking for lost jewelry for the resort.  She said, « Oh wow!  Our friends husband Tommy,  just lost his white gold wedding band in this area we were swimming »  When Tommy threw a football he felt the ring fly off.  Since I was going exactly in that direction I continued my current search.  BOOM!  Next target in shoulder deep water is a white gold band in my scoop.  I yelled over to the ladies, « Found it! »  Tommy was coming down to the beach and verified it was his.  Elapsed time less than a minute.  Tommy said, « You saved my marriage as his lovely wife looked on. »  Vacation saved!  Aloha to Tommy & Family!

Vintage 10k Yellow Gold Black Onyx Ring Lost In Lamont County Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:
I received a call from Damon requesting my assistance in locating his Great Great Grandmother’s Black Onyx ring, which was lost on his wedding day last saturday October 4, 2025.
Damon informed me that his mother who had inherited it from her late Great Grandmother. His mother subsequently passed it on to Damon’s wife.
He mentioned that they had taken photographs at an old homestead, where he believes the ring fell off his wife’s finger.
I agreed to conduct a search for the ring, recognizing its sentimental value to both Damon and his wife. I met Damon at his home in Lamont County, approximately 60 miles east of my location.
We drove to the location where they had taken their wedding photographs. Damon indicated three potential areas where the ring could be found. After carefully listening to his description, I suggested that we begin the search from the end of the road. Damon and his wife were certain that the ring had fallen off at the beginning of the photo shoot. We proceeded to the end of the road and retraced our steps towards the old homestead, halfway up the path. Suddenly, I heard a pleasant tone, and there was his ring, beautifully concealed by leaves. I informed Damon of its location, and he was overjoyed.

🔩 Specialized Playground Bolt Recovered – Cedar Creek School, Lanoka Harbor NJ

I received a call from Jamie over at Cedar Creek School regarding a lost swing set bolt. Jamie, a maintenance worker for the local school district, explained they had a work order to repair the handicap-accessible swing. Upon arriving at the site, they discovered that a critical, specialized bolt securing the front bar had vanished beneath the rubberized mulch.

He asked if I could assist, and I let him know I was just moments away. Once I arrived, Jamie pointed out the exact location of the missing hardware. Using my metal detector, I quickly scanned the area — and within minutes, the bolt was recovered. The swing was immediately repaired and made safe for student use again.

Whether it’s lost jewelry or essential equipment like this, I’m happy to help recover what matters!

LOST 18k HEIRLOOM RING in WINSTON SALEM, NC……..FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from the young man yesterday about losing his heirloom gold ring that was his late grandfathers.

He had taken it off, put it in his pocket and was playing basketball. He later took the rings out of his pocet and put them on the porch, but didn’t realize he had lost one until later.

He searched for this ring for days and even used a metal detector. He wanted to keep trying into the night before he had me drive out to him. I walked him through some settings and gave him a VDI range to search for.

Earlier today, I received a text that he wanted me to try, so I loaded up and headed his way.

After arriving, 10 minutes later I found his ring, under the goal and already pushed into the dirt from being stepped on.

Lost Vera Wang White Gold & Diamonds Wedding Band at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a text this morning when I woke up saying, « Aloha Joe, I found your number on ring finders.  Friday 10/03, about 5pm I went swimming in the Aulani Lagoon and lost my wedding band.  I had my niece on my back and they wanted to swim out a lil bit and it slipped right off my finger.  I read about all your experience and testimonials.  I live on the island,  Kapahulu side.  My family and I tried our best to snorkel and look for the ring but we had no such luck. »  Kapahulu is just down the street from me, so I called Whitney to get the details of the ring and lost location.  To my surprise she described the stunning ring I had found the morning before, Saturday at Aulani.  I hadn’t posted anything about this find yet and she described the ring and location perfectly.  She was at work and we agreed to meet afterwards for the return.  Whitney was so grateful to have her stunning ring back as you can see in her smile above.  Aloha to Whitney!

How to find lost rings in the grass with a metal detector, Ocala Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



This search and recovery came to me as a result of a family dispute. Sometimes rings, phones, key fobs and other items are deliberately thrown and most often we are called to come out and try to help locate these thrown items for either the one who threw them or for someone else who has a vested interest…say like a husband or wife, or a boyfriend or…I think you get the idea!

Andi called me and explained that she needed help finding her engagement and wedding rings somewhere in their yard. Apparently she had gone out and rented a metal detector and tried using it for an hour or two and ended up digging a bunch of holes plus her husband had spent 3 hours searching the yard as well and …Nothing! When I arrived the next day I got my Deus 2 metal detector and started doing my usual overlapping grid search of the area where Andi said she threw her rings. There were holes here and there and pull tabs and bits of aluminum scattered every where. Experience has taught me that most often items originally are thrown harder, further and with more intensity than one might think. And this proved true in Andi’s situation. At least 45 feet out I got a good repeatable signal reading « 49 » and then about two feet away another similar signal! I called Andi out and as I showed her what I found she just buried her face in her hands and quietly wept. The relief and consolation and comfort overwhelmed her heart and it was a thrill to see.
