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.

I received a phone call today from Linda regarding her lost gold and diamond earring in the front lawn of her residence. Linda said she had lost her earring yesterday while walking across her front lawn to meet a neighbor at curbside. Linda said she had jumped over some short vegetation just prior to entering the grassy area of her front lawn. Linda said she had felt her earring come loose from her ear and then land some where in the grass.
Linda said she spent some time looking in the grass but could not find her missing earring. Linda said a short time later she posted a request on Facebook to borrow a metal detector. Linda said a short time later one of her friends responded to her post and forwarded her my information.
I met Linda at her residence this afternoon and we did a walk through of the events leading to the loss of her earring. Linda had the matched missing earring and I used it to refine my search with the CTX3030.
Linda’s smile tells the rest of the story…

Lost Texas A&M Class Ring in Isla Del Sol boat channel Galveston, Texas (Recovered)
I received a call yesterday from Alfonso regarding his lost Texas A&M class ring. Alfonso said he was visiting some friends in the Isla Del Sol area of Galveston Island when he lost his ring. Alfonso said he hand his friends had been throwing spent crawfish shells into the boat channel behind his friends home.
Alfonso said he did not see the ring come of his hand, but knew he had it on, because his ring had been an item of discussion during the crawfish dinner. Alfonso said after cleaning up and throwing the shells into the channel he realized his class ring was missing.
After speaking with Alfonso he sent me a few photographs of the channel and bulk head behind the house. We made agreements to met today and search for his missing ring.
Alfonso was specific on the location where he believed the ring would have landed in the water, but after nearly an hour with no results we expanded the search area. After resetting out grid another 10 feet, the ring was recovered within a relatively short time.
I had set up one of my GoPro’s to record the recovery while I was in the water, but unfortunately the recovery took several hours and the camera couldn’t hang.
As with most of the boat channel’s in the Galveston area, there is a large amount of debris, some or most related to hurricane IKE which covered island with more than 10 foot of water.
The visibility was minimal (ZERO) and all targets were sifted blindly by hand, but make no mistake, when you grab a ring, you know it.

Hi John,
My name is Alex and I need help finding my wedding band. I was playing volleyball in the park next to a friends apartment complex. We were playing in a sand field and I felt it slip off my finger. We spent 3 hours searching for it with no luck. Would you be available tomorrow (Sunday) to help me find it. I am really distressed about losing it and it would bring me great joy and relief to find it as soon as possible. The place is near the galleria area in Houston.Please call me at 650 ***-****Thank you,
Alex

I met Alex in the parking lot of the volleyball court today in the Galleria area of Houston. As I was gathering my equipment, Alex explained how he had spent three hours last night searching with no success. He said he gone to a nearby Home Depot and purchased a rack, a shovel, and a heavy duty screen to sift sand and he still couldn’t find his ring.
Alex said, later that evening his wife found my add on Craigslist, and followed my posted link to « The Ring Finders »
The search for Alex’s ring was quick, on my second pass I hit a really nice signal, and moments later Alex was holding his ring. Alex immediately called his wife to share the good news; it was very evident he was very happy to have his ring back.
Thank you, Alex

Subject: Wedding band lost in Lake Hello, I came across your website and was wondering if you could find my lost wedding band. I see you are in Houston. I live in the DFW area and lost my wedding band this weekend in Lake Lewisville. I have the exact location. It would require you to dive about 20-25 feet with scuba gear. I only had it for two months and I am willing to pay you for your services. Please let me know. Thanks.Richard
I contacted Don Wilson from The Ring Finders in Dallas and relayed the call information to him, and my interests in attempting a recovery. Lake Lewisville is in Don’s backyard and I knew he would know all the logistical aspects of the search location.
Don did all the ground work on this job, taking photographs of the search location, meeting with Richard at dock weeks prior, and making all the arrangement with the marina for our visit. Having the Dallas team present (Don and Ellen) and their son Tripp was the only reason this recovery attempt was even possible.
Don, Ellen, and Tripp thank you again for everything…
The dock in Lake Lewisville (the search location)
The depth 23″ feet, and after the 12′ mark total blackness down to the bottom at 23′, the bottom a soft silt mud. Utilized a custom made PVC dive pole to mark the primary search location from the surface. Used a boogie board leash as a lanyard attachment to the PVC pole ensuring I would not drift off of the search location (essentially cave diving in total darkness). The dangers in these black water dives is becoming entangled in or under one of the boat lifts or dock while ascending back to the surface.
You can see from the photograph above, overhead obstacles where a significant obstruction, basically you had to work your way under the lift to descend to the mark.
Now for the downside, after one hour and ten minutes of bottom time, I could not find that missing RING. The bottom of the boat slip at 23′ provided its own challenges, laden heavy with scrap material from the docks construction, and other large miscellaneous metal items made the search a real challenge.
The two lawn chairs above were fastened together with a cable lock and were an unexpected find at the bottom. I worked the bottom with a handheld Vibra-Tech 730 sifting through 4-5 inches of mud pulling up targets.
Large pieces of iron, cut pad locks, small nails and bottle tops were among the assortment of recovered items.
A short video illustrating the recovery location
It was a tough way to end the day, I always like finding the prize. The ring may be worth another look one day, but for now the ring belongs to the lake.
