This ring find broke my heart and made me smile at the same time. Her husband had passed due to illness and she lost the ring while working in the yard. She had searched for weeks looking for it with no luck. After an hour of detecting I found it. Overwhelmed with joy she was moved to tears.
Had a lady contact me regarding her lost rings. She let her kid use them as he was practicing to be a ring bearer. After they got home she realized he did not have them. She was concerned that a metal detector would not pick them up as they were platinum rings. I assured her the detector would have no problems if the rings were in the grass.
Had a client call me. He took his family to the lake for a swim and lost his wedding ring while swimming. I met up with him and we took a boat to the spot where he thought it was at. After an hour of searching in 10-15 feet of water and running very low on air I found his ring.
This ring find began when I got a call from Ijah who lives in Honolulu with his lovely wife Alison. After enjoying a day at Paki Park Playground with their son, Alison was leaving and as she picked up her bag her two rings fell into the grass and disappeared. She had taken them off to apply sunscreen and had placed them on the bag for safe keeping. Ijah & Alison were able to find the Engagement Ring but not the sentimental rose gold promise ring. I asked him if the grass in the park was long or short and when we could meet. He told me he was heading there again to hunt some more so I told him I’d head over after my business appointment. When I called to let Ijah know I was on my way, he told me that the grass was recently mowed, probably that morning. My heart sunk thinking the mower would either slaughter the ring or throw it into infinity. I told Ijah to expect the worst and pray for the best I was still going to hunt. When I arrived I was able to street park right at the lost ring spot. Ijah had placed a plastic bear where they had found the one ring already. I started my grid search there. I had a few false targets probably EMI then a boomer on the Manticore. The grass was fairly thick so I stooped down with my pinpointer and as it went off the probe exposed a shiny rose gold ring. Got it Ijah! Wow! I can’t believe it! That was so fast. Ijah called his wife over to show her and she was obviously relieved after searching for two days. We said a few pleasantries and handshakes then I walked away thankful the mower failed to ruin the hunt. Aloha to Alison & Ijah!

Hanna called requesting my assistance to help locate her I-phone 11 lost while walking and playing with her dog in the a school playing field. I agreed to meet her after asking my usual questions! Meet Hanna at the park and she showed me the direction she took also told me she had a few friends with her looking for her phone for a few hrs the night before but could not find her phone. What made the search more difficult for them was the I phone had a white protective case and laying in the snow making it hard to see also her phone was on silent and find my phone app was not turned on. After about one hour we located her I-Phone which made Hanna very happy.
It’s been a while since I posted, so I figured I would at least let people know I’m still at it! I often get called from people asking if I’m still doing this, and I thought maybe it’s because my last post was from a few years ago.
It’s always interesting how the calls for lost rings come in waves. Lots of calls during beach season, then a slow period until leaf cleanup (!!), then again during snow shoveling season. Regardless of the case, I have the equipment and experience to help whatever the situation. Leave me a message and I’ll always get back to you. Usually with lots of questions:
I also get a lot of calls for rings lost indoors, inside vehicles, or even inside dumpsters! Unfortunately in those cases my eyes are as good as yours. Metal detectors are fairly useless in these situations, so you’re best off retracing your steps (which I can’t do!).
People also ask about fees up front. I don’t charge a fee to come out. I’m happy to help, but will gladly accept whatever you’re comfortable with whether the item is found or not. It all goes right into my daughter’s college fund!

On Wednesday evening (January 17th, 2024), I received a call from Amy stating she had lost her white gold and diamond stud earring (which was a gift from her husband) while shoveling snow from the driveway of her home in Franklin, Tennessee. On Sunday night into Monday evening, Tennessee and Alabama received a snow and ice storm along with artic temperatures that put the area out of commission for about a week. I told Amy that I would make it out for a search once the roads were clear and I had time off from my normal day job. It wouldn’t be until Sunday (January 28th), that I could safely travel the 1.5-hour drive to Amy’s house.
I met Amy at her home in Franklin, TN around 2pm on Sunday. Outside, was a brisk 42 degrees Fahrenheit with no sunshine and occasional drizzle. Since this earring was a stud, I was worried about the amount of metal and whether I could get a reading on my detector. Amy had her second earring, so I scanned it with my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 6” coil. I didn’t get a signal in any of the Park or Gold modes. I then checked the earring with my Garrett Pro-Pointer AT and Nokta AccuPOINT pinpointers. I received a reading on both, but the Nokta had the stronger signal. I planned to use that pinpointer to scan the sides of the driveway. This was definitely going to be a tough search considering how small the earring was, how large the driveway was, and that I had to use an almost 10-inch handheld metal detector.
I had Amy tell me exactly what happened. Amy shoveled her driveway in two sections. First was the steep driveway and the second was the steps to the house and outside the garage. After finishing the first section of the driveway, Amy went inside the house to re-layer, and she put on a sweater. She said she felt the sweater tug on her earring. She went back outside and finished the second section. Amy said the earring backing was still on her ear when she went back inside the house, but the stud was gone. Since fingers shrink when they are cold, I felt her ear shrunk when she went outside, plus the earring was loosened up from the sweater, so I decided to start my search in the second section of the shoveled driveway.
I had Amy show me one more time how far she shoveled in the second section by the garage and steeper part of the driveway. We were walking over, and Amy exclaimed, “there it is!” Amy had eyeballed her own earring laying in plain sight on the driveway! Amy told me that she couldn’t believe it because her husband had checked the entire driveway. He even used a flashlight at night, hoping the diamond would gleam back. Thankfully, the earring was not run over by a car and damaged, or even caught in the tire tread and driven away. Amazing! We celebrated for a few minutes, took some photos, and then I was on my way back to Huntsville, AL.
Maybe it was the heavy rain or wind that moved the earring into plain sight that day. Or maybe and what I truly believe – is that it was divine intervention and the power of prayer. I always pray before I leave for a search and when I get home. I ask that the Holy Spirit guide me to the person’s lost item and then I praise God, the Father when it is found and give Him all the glory. Truly a blessing being a member of Chris Turner’s The Ring Finders and getting to go on these adventures. Looking forward to the next search…

I received a text from Brenda asking if I could look for her key fob which was lost in the snow. Her husband had been shoveling the driveway the day before and it fell out of his hoodie pocket. She did know if it was in the snow around the driveway or down in the sewer at the end of the driveway.
It was a balmy 18 degrees on the car thermometer when I arrived…almost warm enough for shorts and to work on my tan. I got straight to work and did not find much of anything…a piece of foil, a paperclip, and some type of tiny pieces of what looked like a chain but no key fob. The driveway was a problem as there metal all around the perimeter, so much so that I set down the machine and took out my pin pointer and checked the entire area with it.
After about an hour Brenda came out and was very disappointed I was unable to locate it. We talked for a few minutes and I told her at some point they might find it after the snow melted if it was not in the sewer. As we were talking she informed me with that being the only key fob for the car the dealership would have to remove the computer to make a new key and it was going to be an eye-popping amount of money. She thanked me for coming out and gave me my travel fee and a bit extra (very kind but not necessary). I decided that on my way out I would look one more time…I made it back up to the area of the steps that lead to the side of the house where I had found the foil earlier. I had another sound, guessing it was more foil I reached back in. Low and behold I found the key fob.
I went to the porch and rang the doorbell and returned the key fob to Brenda. I was relieved to have found it which would save her a pile of money and aggravation and she was just so thankful. I am glad I checked again and I had thought I had done a very thorough search prior to finding it, but I had to remind myself of one of the cardinal rules of metal detecting – always go back over your hole to make sure there is nothing else in it. I guess that holds true even in the snow! I was happy to be able to help and as always it was nice to meet another kind and generous person like Brenda.
