Lost & Found: Lindsey’s Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered from Lake Conroe
Lindsey’s Memorial Day weekend at Lake Conroe took an unexpected turn when she lost her cherished Texas A&M class ring right off the dock behind her family’s lake house. She shared that she was trying to get onto a paddleboard when she lost her balance and slipped off into the water. As she swam back toward the dock—just a few feet away—she felt her class ring slide off her finger and sink to the sandy lake bottom, about five feet below.
Her family made several determined attempts to recover the ring, diving down and feeling along the murky lake floor, but it soon became clear the task was far more difficult than they had imagined. Lindsey said that after countless efforts and no success, she had come to terms with the loss and even ordered a replacement ring from Texas A&M.
However, fate had other plans.
During the Fourth of July weekend, Lindsey came across a post online about a Texas A&M ring I had recently recovered from Lake Conroe through Houston Metal Detecting Services. That story sparked new hope, and Lindsey immediately sent me a text message, asking if there was any chance her ring could be found.
She provided excellent details about the location and exactly how the ring was lost—information that’s often crucial in these kinds of searches. And as any Aggie would understand, it wasn’t just about the monetary value—she wanted her ring back, not a replacement.
We set plans in motion to meet on Sunday and search for her ring. As soon as I got on site, it was clear we had a great shot at success. And sure enough, after carefully searching the area she described, I was able to recover Lindsey’s original Texas A&M class ring from the sandy bottom of Lake Conroe.
As you can see from the photos, it turned out to be a great day for everyone—especially Lindsey, who now has her beloved ring back where it belongs!

Gold Wedding Ring Lost in a Cypress, Texas back yard while playing toss with the dog, recovered by John Volek-TRF Houston
I was contacted by Nikos a resident of Cypress, Texas who was looking for help in finding his lost Gold wedding band in the backyard of his residence. Nikos reported he had been throwing his dog’s fetch toy in the backyard of his residence when the ring was lost. He stated during one of the throws his custom-made gold wedding ring flew off his finger and landed somewhere in his backyard.
Nikos said he spent several hours searching for his ring, and eventually procured a metal detector to aid him in his searching efforts. After several attempts with the metal detector and many hours in the Texas heat, Nikos realized he needed some help and conducted a little internet research and came across The Ring Finders Metal Detecting Service. Nikos said, he placed the call without hesitation and asked how successful I felt about finding his lost wedding ring.
After setting up a time with Nikos, I arrived the following day and conducted the search for his lost ring. Nikos walked me through his steps and re-enacted the throwing of the dog toy to demonstrate the pathway the ring may have taken.
The photographs show the outcome of this search and help to illustrate that just renting or borrowing a metal detector may not always be the solution.
Great day in Texas!

Lost Wedding Ring Lake Conroe, Texas…found by John Volek TRF-Houston
I was contacted by Doug, who was looking for someone to help him recover his Wedding Ring of 22 years from Lake Conroe…
Doug reported he had been training for an upcoming Tri-Athlon and swimming in a designated swim area when he had the misfortune of losing his wedding ring of twenty-two years. Doug said, he had lost his ring two days ago in about chest deep water. Doug said he spend hours diving down to the bottom and sifting through the sand and mud in hopes of finding his ring.
Doug said, he had lost a lot of weight while training for his Tri-Athlon event, and his ring was loose and slide right off his finger while swimming. Doug said, he knew the minute it came off, and stopped right where he was at, and started searching for his ring. But more importantly he looked around and identified some land marks that would eventually bring us back to that location in the water.
Doug said while agonizing over the loss of his ring…he did a little internet research and came across Houston Metal Detecting Services – The Ring Finders – Houston and placed the call.
After discussing the details with Doug, an arrangement was made to meet at Lake Conroe this morning to search for his lost wedding ring.
Doug’s ability to put us back in the general location was imperative…his ring was recovered within an hour…water depth 4-5 feet.

Finding Lost Texas A&M Class Rings in College Station, Texas
Texas A&M Class Ring Lost in Creek during classroom exercise in College Station,Texas (found) by John Volek
I was contacted by Ryan from College Station, Texas regarding his lost Texas A&M Class ring…Ryan stated while out on a fishery conservation class he had the misfortune of loosing his class ring. Ryan said, he and classmates were capturing some fish in the creek as part of the classroom assignment, and during that process he lost in ring somewhere in the creek.
Ryan indicate he believed the water depths of the creek ranged from a few feet to possibly eight foot deep in the center of the creek. I made arrangements with Ryan to meet him the following week to search for his lost ring.
Knowing the depths and terrain, I felt pretty confident the ring could be recovered with the right personnel, gear and equipment…I contacted my dive partner Carl…we looked over the details of the recovery and set out the following week to recovery Ryan’s ring.
Once on site, Carl drew the short straw and had to gear up for the underwater side of this search…I would be taking the shallower waters around the deeper portion of the creek.
Once Carl was set-up and underway, I began searching the edges of the creek…I pulled up a few possible signals (fishing lures, and a few bottle caps) before hitting a very distinct signal in about 4 1/2 foot of water…I pulled up a scoop full of rocks and other debris, along with a nice Gold Texas A&M Class ring.
I feel pretty confident Ryan and his father were shocked on how fast we were able to recover the ring!
