A Different Search in Kelowna BC.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

A lady called me that her husband had lost 2 gold rings, one of them large wedding ring. Asking questions on their loss, she explained that the loss is in his business office. I advised her that a metal detector has issues indoors due to all the electrical units around, but that I would respond and do a complete search. At the office I asked him what he did to lose the rings, he explained that working on his keyboard the wedding ring was so large it interfered with his typing, so he always takes them off and puts them on the desk. I spent one hour searching every part of the room, his files, cupboards, chairs, visually, and with a pinpointer with no success. In the end I advised them that to lose two rings was unlikely and I suspected that someone entered his office and stole them. I told them to search their clothing and vehicle, I also recommended that they submit a police report in case they show up at a pawn shop.   At least they have the satisfaction of knowing that the rings are not in the office.

Buried but Not Lost: A Platinum Wedding Ring Recovered in Spring, Texas

Buried but Not Lost: A Platinum Wedding Ring Recovered in Spring, Texas:
I was recently contacted regarding the loss of a platinum wedding ring at a residence in Spring, Texas. The homeowner explained that the ring went missing shortly after completing cold-weather protection preparation in the front yard of his home.
Before the cold weather arrived here in Texas, he had spread a large volume of mulch across multiple flower beds. He covered several plants with protective sheets to guard against freezing temperatures. It wasn’t until the following evening that he realized his wedding ring was no longer on his finger.
He searched briefly but quickly became overwhelmed. The search area was extensive, the mulch was freshly laid, and numerous plants had been handled and covered. Knowing the odds were stacked against him, he turned to the internet—and that search led him to Houston Metal Detecting Services.
Arrangements were made to meet at his residence that same day.
The search area was sizable, consisting of a large grassy front lawn and several mulch-covered flower beds. From the start, I knew this recovery would be more challenging than a typical surface find. Given the circumstances, it was unlikely the ring would be sitting on top of the grass or caught in the roots. The more probable scenario was that it had been unknowingly buried beneath fresh mulch in one of the flower beds.
We began with the easier portion of the search—the front lawn. After carefully covering the entire grassy area with no success, attention shifted to the flower beds. These beds had recently received several inches of new mulch, making a visual search nearly impossible.
Working methodically through the beds, the signal finally came in.
As shown in the photos, the platinum wedding ring was recovered from approximately three inches beneath fresh mulch in one of the front flower beds. Another wedding ring, once thought lost for good, was safely returned to its rightful owner.
Moments like this are exactly why I do what I do—helping people recover items that carry far more value than metal alone.

Wedding Ring recovery at Sunset Beach, Huntington Beach

Call Surf City Ring Finder-

Chris called me and explained to me about the loss of his wife’s ring at Sunset Beach. They were already on their way home to Northern California but he sent me a video of where they were on the beach. I went to the beach after work and used his video to find the area they weee at. After detecting for about 30 minutes I located the lost ring. The ring was pretty deep in the sand as the high tide had gone over it after the loss. His brother lives in Orange County so he was able to pick it up for him.

Amy lost her Class Ring on January 26th 2026 while she was enjoying the day in Central Park. She told me the loss occurred a week ago so I was concerned that the commercial lawn mower might have run it over. This search took about 40 minutes as it was littered with pull tabs and numerous pieces of foil. Amy was so excited when she saw I had found her ring.

Beautiful Heirloom Ring Lost in Livermore…Found!!!

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

On January 16th, I arrived to perform a search in Livermore, CA.  An heirloom white gold ring with sapphires and diamonds was reported lost in the yard by the owner Vickey.  It was not a terribly large area and she had been performing yard work when her beloved ring went missing.  She spent some time trying to locate the item, but the leaves in the yard made the search more than difficult.  Since I didn’t believe the ring would stay missing long I had all three of my young boys in tow.  I talked with Vickey for a few moments and introduced the boys.  She showed me the area and I had her filling out the search contract.  I blew away tons of leaves using a leaf blower and before she could finish the form, we had made the recovery!  Tears of joy streamed down her face and she was very appreciative of our efforts.  We sat at the from of her home and celebrated and discussed other searches I had performed and how I had gotten involved with such an amazing community.  It was the first recovery of the new year and I was proud to have taken part.

Thank you kindly Vickey for reaching out and entrusting me with such an important task.  I hope that ring tells a story of many more years with you and your family.

Beyond the Backyard: A Cypress Wedding Ring Recovery

Beyond the Backyard: A Cypress Wedding Ring Recovery
Tim’s call came in with a familiar tone—hope mixed with frustration. He explained that he was looking for someone to help recover his lost wedding ring, which had disappeared in the backyard of his home in Cypress, Texas.
The day before, Tim had been in the yard throwing a ball for his Labrador retriever, enjoying a normal afternoon at home. On one of the throws, he felt his wedding ring slip from his finger. Tim told me he distinctly remembered seeing a brief glimpse of the ring as it flew straight up into the air before he lost sight of it completely. Despite searching on his own, the ring was nowhere to be found.
The following day, I arrived at Tim’s residence and began a detailed grid search of his backyard. With no clear direction of travel and no visible clues, every inch of the yard needed to be carefully checked. Although the search was thorough, it produced no results. Still, Tim remained confident—he knew what he felt, and he knew what he saw.
Based on Tim’s account of the ring’s trajectory, we decided to expand the search area beyond the original yard and into the neighboring property. That decision made all the difference. After carefully scanning the adjacent backyard, the metal detector gave a strong, unmistakable signal. Hidden in the grass was Tim’s wedding ring—well concealed, but right where the physics of the throw suggested it might be.
Handing the ring back to Tim was the best part of the job. What began as a moment of loss ended with relief, gratitude, and a powerful reminder that sometimes answers lie just beyond where we first think to look.
Another ring recovered—and another story with a happy ending

It can be better to be blessed than be good and/or lucky – Lost gold ring found in the snow in Pittsburgh by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

While it is always a blessing to make a recovery for my clients this one and the last have been nothing short of miracles! There is no way I make them without some devine intervention and some additional help from St. Anthony and I pray it continues.

I was contacted by Alex who said he lost his ring after he slipped and fell in the snow. After he fell and got up his ring had disappeared in the snow. This was no ordinary ring…as you will see from the picture it was a monster gold ring with diamonds, maybe my largest recovery to date.

I met Alex outside of an apartment complex where he stated he lost his ring. It has been almost a week since he lost it and I had talked to a maintenance worker who stated that they had recently done some additional snow removal. Alex showed me the patch of snow he thought he had lost his ring. The maintenance guy stated that it looked like someone had fell in another area too. Alex was pretty sure he knew where he slipped but after almost a week he wasn’t entirely positive based on what the worker had said. I started to search the first area to no avail. There were some good sounds but when we uncovered the ground – nothing! I then moved to the other area the maintenance man mentioned and checked it. I was unable to locate anything good…there was a lot of interference from the sidewalk and other targets. I had been using my trusty Garrett AT Pro but thought it might be time for the Minelab Manticore. Maybe the 2D screen could provide some additional help. I hit the area again but with negative results. In the meantime Alex was trying to get in touch with his friend to get some more information about the area we should be concentrating on. I was becoming frustrated that I could not find it, from Alex’s description of the ring it should have been screaming in my headset like I was at an AC/DC concert. After we had moved snow, checked the area thoroughly several times I was deflated. I started to check some other random areas where I had yet to look. I went on the opposite side of the sidewalk and overtop of about a 5 foot snowpile. Towards the top of the pile I got a sound but it wasn’t overwhelming. None the less I was like what in the heck could be in the top of the snowbank. I got out my pinpointer and started to search and there I could see the glint of gold. I could not believe my eyes. I said to Alex there it is…at first he did not see it. Then he looked again and we pulled it out of the snow.

Alex was estatic to say the least and I was in disbelief. Based on my observations the maintenance worker must have scooped it up on his shovel and deposited it where we found it. Hence, my opening, there is no way I make this recovery without some extra assistance! As always it was great to make a (miracle) recovery and meet another kind and generous client.
