Found Wedding Ring in Trophy Club,Texas

We received a call from a lady who said « thank God I reached you »I have a lost ring for you to find. I said OK and ask for the details. She described it as a Men’s gold wedding ban. I ask her where is was lost and she said in her backyard. I ask as I always do, « are you sure that’s where you lost it » and she said she was positive.
I said OK then we can find it, then I asked the most important question. How was the ring lost, what was he doing when he lost it……. there was a long silence and she said « I know it’s there because I threw it there ». I said that was no problem and we would drive the 28 miles to Trophy Club,Tx around 7pm to let the heat go down, it was 101 degrees warm.
We arrived at a beautiful home, got our equipment out, the lady kindly showed us where she was when she threw the ring and then my wife her re-inact the event (this is a must we have learned). We spent maybe 20 minutes detecting the yard and there was a lot of underground trash. We knew the ring would « Hit Hard » on our detectors because it had only been 3 days since it was lost and men’s wedding bands are typically large in size.
We were correct in our assumptions and the Ring was returned for another happy customer for « The Ring Finders ».

PS…. the husband was in counseling while we were looking for the ring.




We received an email from a very nice lady stating that her husband’s small pocket knife was lost in their yard. We thought it was a little unusual to get a call on a knife but we are always excited to help people . As we talked further we found out that the family had gone out and cut down 2 Christmas Trees this year and had strapped them to the top of the family SUV. Upon arriving at home the father had pulled out his very special 3″ knife that his wife had given to him as a gift on their wedding day. He used it to cut the rope holding the Christmas Trees to the SUV and then gave it to his oldest 10yr old daughter Ally to cut the other side. She cut the rope and put the knife in her top pocket of her jacket and helped her dad and sisters drag the 2 trees into the house. After getting the trees inside, she realize the knife was no longer in her pocket. After 3 days of searching the 3″ thick grass cover in large leaves they had nearly given up. 10yr old Ally was heart broken at losing her daddy’s special knife. 


In looking at the bathroom we found a small open lip under the cabinet where the kick plate is. It was only a 1-1/2 inch opening that I could not even get my hand into, I got out my 3ft Detection Camera scope and worked it into the slot, nothing at first but on the second side, there in the dark glowing under the light from the camera scope was Les’s Platinum Wedding Band. I said, ‘hey Les, take a look at my detection screen, is that your Ring?’ He was so excited, he and I had to break loose the baseboard under the sink in order to reach it. He hollered for his wife, « they found It, they found it! » Another successful hunt for « The Ring Finders ».
