When Trey reached out after losing his ring somewhere in his backyard while doing yard work, he wasn’t sure if he’d ever see it again. It wasn’t just any ring—it was a beautiful tungsten ring with a meteorite inlay, making it a very special piece.
I packed up my metal detector and made the 1 hour and 45 minute drive to Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, hoping I could help Trey recover it.
Once I arrived, Trey showed me the area where he had been working and the spots where he thought the ring might have disappeared. I started working my way through the yard, carefully checking the ground and listening for those promising signals.
After searching the area, I finally got the signal I was looking for—and there it was!
Trey’s tungsten ring with the meteorite inlay was back in his hands.
That’s what makes being a Ring Finder so rewarding. Sometimes it’s a short trip down the road, and sometimes it’s a nearly two-hour drive. But when you can return something valuable and sentimental to its owner, the drive is absolutely worth it.
Another ring found, another happy customer, and another great Tennessee recovery! Equipment used was an Equinox 900 and the TID was 35.



One evening, while I was out searching for another lost ring, Sierra messaged me to say a wave had knocked her over and caused her ring to slip off her finger. After two water searches that day, I’d injured my shoulder and couldn’t search for her ring myself. I reached out to a few trusted detectorist friends, and Justin said he might have time to look. I’d planned to search two days later despite my injury, but early that morning, as I was preparing my gear, Justin contacted me to say he’d already recovered the ring. He also mentioned signs in the sand suggesting another detectorist had searched the area before him. I met Justin to pick up the ring and headed to the Whaler Inn in Pine Knoll Shores, NC. Sierra was shocked it had already been found, and it was a pleasure meeting and working with them. Thanks again to Justin for the assist.
Hamil in Atlanta contacted me about his recently lost wedding ring. He had just finished some yardwork and was standing on his raised porch brushing grass off his pants when his ring came off. He heard it « ping » on the rocks below but after hours of searching, he was unable to find it. He continued his visual search for a few days, but was still not able to locate the ring. He described the ring as a 24k gold band with he and his wife’s initials engraved on the inside of the band. I began my search by working the grassy area in a grid pattern. I found several pull tabs, a key, and other various metal objects, but no ring. Next, I searched in the landscaped area which is covered in river rocks but still no ring. After 2 hours of searching, I mentioned to him the only place I am unable to search is near the metal edging separating the river rocks from his grass. So he pulled up the metal edging so I could search that ground. Sure enough, after just a few more minutes of searching, I got a soft 50 signal on my Equinox 900 and out popped his gold wedding ring! Hamil was thrilled to have his ring back!


Devin and his wife were vacationing from West Virginia when Devin, relaxing and floating in the ocean, felt his wedding ring slip off his finger. While I was out of state, my friend Justin took on the challenge of finding it. After a tough day, a few waves to the head, and even getting bumped by a 20-year-old on a boogie board, he managed to recover Devin’s ring from the Atlantic. Not every recovery is easy, and searching in the water is especially challenging.

I got a call from Sydnie on Saturday the 4th and she said her friend who was down from Ohio for the 4th had lost her engagement ring in the lake right behind her house. They were floating about fifteen to twenty feet from the dock. Before I could make it over there they had to return home without the ring. I was able to get there for the search on Tuesday. I geared up for the search using my Manticore with the Gray Ghost Amphibian headphones and a sand scoop. Fortunately the water was only around 4 to 4 1/2 feet deep there. The bottom was a very shallow layer of soft mud, maybe less that 2 inches, with a hard pan of clay underneath. That made it difficult to use a sand scoop, but I made it work. Closer in to the dock there was a lot of iron and other debris that made the going slow, but as I got further away from the dock those signals were further in between. The water was deep enough that I couldn’t see the screen on the Manticore, and the lost ring was white gold so I could concentrate on the low tones. After about an hour and a half I was at least twenty feet away from the dock, maybe a little more, and I got the tell tale double beep low tone that was very strong. The lost ring was white gold so I could concentrate on the low tones. I lifted the detector out of the water to see the screen and it said 06 for the target ID. With the hard pan clay down there it took me three attempts to get the target in the scoop, but there it was, a dainty white gold ring.


Chris contacted me on Sunday morning and said his wife had lost her ring in the front yard while throwing water ballons on the 4th. He showed me the area they were at so I started there. I was fairly certain that early on in the conversation he said it was white gold, so I was mainly concentrating on shallow low signals. But, after around 30 minutes I got a very strong 72 on the Manticore with the telltale double beep that said it was very shallow or on the surface. A 72 is definately not white gold, but a silver or copper tone, and of course I investigated to see what it would be. It was the lost ring, and after looking at it I saw a 925 inside the band. So it was silver and not white gold. His wife was estatic and said she went to sleep crying the night before. In my book they are newlyweds, only 6 months in. A successful recovery!



Nick contacted me and said that his wife had lost her wedding band while preparing a raised plant bed, but she wasn’t sure which one. He and his wife has a matching tungsten carbide band set. The first bed I checked had a good signal, but it turned out to be a larger deep signal. The second bed was larger in size, but all of them had galvanized metal sheeting for the side walls. That was a problem, but I managed to work around it. In the second bed I found a signal that was showing a 30 on the Manticore, but was close to the metal side wall so that number may have been skewed. That 30 on the Manticore turned out to be her ring. It was about four inches deep. The total seach time was only about twelve minutes.
