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

Graduation Party, Craw-fish, Nerf Guns and a Lost 2016 Texas A&M Class Ring
Jack called regarding his lost 2016 Texas A&M class ring, at a craw-fish boil graduation party in La Marque, Texas.
Jack said during the party, some of the kids starting shooting Nerf bullets at the grown up participants. Jack said, after getting hit a few times he grabbed a craw-fish and sent it flying in the direction of his adversary.
Jack said he realized a few minutes later his class ring was missing from his finger. Jack said everyone at the party helped look for his ring, but it was no where to be found. Jack said the next day he purchased a metal detector at Academy and went back to search again, but he still had no luck finding his ring.
Jack told me the metal detector was confusing to use, and it seemed to make noise on just about anything and everything. Jack said after that experience he went on the internet to look for help.
