Engagement Ring Lost in the Lake-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

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.

Wedding Ring Lost During a Water Ballon Fight-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

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!

Wedding Band Lost While Preparing Raised Plant Bed-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

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.

Cedar Lake Cellars Wright City, Missouri

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I was attending the Night Lights Lantern Festival at Cedar Lake Cellars in Wright City, Missouri in October 2025. There were about 1000 people there and we were in a very large grassy field. Because the weather was a little colder, the ring had slipped off my finger somewhere near where we were sitting that evening. Luckily, I took a few photos and was able to determine the exact GPS coordinates from apples map function from the photo. I was able to get permission from the winery personnel to search the property and sure enough you found the ring within 10 feet of where the GPS coordinates from the photo indicated. I was shocked and very very excited. that ring had been there all winter and spring and now it’s back in my possession. The ring was very special to me and still is and now it has more of a story. I can’t begin to thank you enough.

Cell Phone Lost in a Retention Pond in Marmora NJ

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

I received a text from an unknown number asking if I am the guy who finds things. His co-worker lost a cell phone in a retention pond. I started asking questions like, « How deep is the pond? » He said 4 – 5 feet deep. He then put me in touch with Danyl.

Danyl said that her son was using her phone and received some very upsetting news. He threw her phone & it ended up in the pond. Turns out Danyl is also a 1st responder in Ventnor. Our schedules weren’t lining up. We were able to meet 2 weeks later. I told her it was a slim chance that a phone underwater that long would still work. She wanted to try, since there were pictures on it that weren’t backed up.

Picture 1 shows the pond. I put on my chest waders and walked into the pond. After a few feet, I turned around and exited the pond. I said that I couldn’t search the pond on foot because there were too many roots, stumps, and vines under the water. A major tripping hazard. If I tripped in chest-deep water, my waders would fill up and possibly get submerged.
I asked if I could use her nearby kayak. She said yes and retrieved it for me. After loading myself & my gear, I said I am probably going to drown anyway, as I was only on a kayak once before.
I launched and immediately realized it wasn’t going to be as easy as I thought. Every time I swung my metal detector, it sent the kayak in a different direction. The water is about 4 feet deep, and the paddle is about 5 feet long. I started jamming the paddle into the muck, swinging my detector, keeping the paddle a few feet away, and repeating the process. After a while, I realized I was getting no metal hits. You would think I would be finding beer or soda cans, bottle caps, or fishing gear.
Still no sounds after 2.5 hours of searching. I said to myself, one more trip up and back, as I was doing a grid pattern. On the way up I finally got a loud hit. It was fairly large. I tried to use my scoop to retrieve the item. But because of the roots & vines, I couldn’t get it. Danyl said she had been searching for it since it was lost while she was magnet fishing on her kayak. I didn’t want to move, so I asked if there was a way she could bring me the magnet. She went and got another kayak. When she got to me, she tried several times to fish it out. I had her move away a little & give me the magnet. On my first drop, I felt it click on. I gave her the rope and told her to bring up her phone.
We both were amazed when we saw it was her phone. When we got back to the shore, I put the phone on a table leaning upright with the charging port down in direct sunlight to start the drying process. I told her not to power it on or charge it for at least a week. When the sun went down, to get a Tupperware bowl & put an inch of rice on the bottom. Then place her phone on the rice, and then cover the phone with even more rice. Leave it in the rice for at least 1 week.
After a week, she plugged in the charger, and it lit up with a message, water detected. She contacted me, and I said to put it back in the rice for another week. 10 days later, she texted me. With the message that it was from the phone we rescued.
All I could say was wow. I love helping people, but helping another 1st responder is extra special. She is a paid firefighter with 20ish years in. The person who originally contacted me was her captain. We shared a lot of stories.
I am dedicated to finding your lost items!
I love my hobby!!

Lost Diamond/Gold Tennis Bracelet Found In Bethany Beach, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

On 12/29/25, I received a call from Amy regarding her lost diamond/gold tennis bracelet. Amy said that on 10/11/25, she had walked out the front door of her residence at about 1:30 am when her tennis bracelet got caught on the storm door handle. The tennis bracelet broke and came off of her wrist. Amy believed that the bracelet had flung off her wrist in the dark and had landed in the leaf litter on the ground in the front of her deck. Amy asked if I would search the leaf litter in front of her deck with my metal detector for her bracelet. I agreed to meet Amy on 12/30/25 to conduct the search. Upon my arrival at Amys home I searched the leaf litter with my metal detector and I did not find the bracelet. The search was continued as Amy used a rake to pulled leaf litter out from under her deck and I used a pin pointer to conduct a search of it. The bracelet was still nowhere to be found. I then used a flashlight to look through some of the small spaces in between the deck boards. After looking through a second space to the ground under the deck I saw the shimmer of the diamond and gold bracelet. I called to Amy who was in the house to let her know that her cherished bracelet had been found. It appears that when the bracelet came off of Amys wrist it fell straight down to the deck and slid in between a space between two deck boards and then fell to the ground underneath.  The deck was to low to the ground for me to be able to crawl under it so Amy crawled under the deck and retrieved her lost bracelet. The bracelet was located under the deck about 10′ from the front of the deck.

Two Gold Wedding Rings Recovered in Siler City!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Luke, who was vacationing in North Carolina from West Virginia. Quoting from Luke’s original text, « I lost not 1 but 2 wedding bands in the yard at our Airbnb in Siler City ». Apparently Luke lost his ring playing in the yard and someone in the group declared it shouldn’t be that hard to find a ring in the grass. That led to his wife’s ring being tossed out into the grass to show how easy it would be to find, which is how Luke got to the situation he was in. Anyway, Luke and I spoke and he cleared it with the landlord for me to go out and search. He had sent me a map of the backyard and had marked the area where he thought I should search. I found her ring after about an hour and a half (the yard was filled with pop tops, bottle caps, nails, screws, etc.), but it took me probably another 30 minutes to find his ring. I sent Luke this picture of the two recovered rings and we made arrangements for me to ship them back to him in West Virginia. Although I didn’t get to hand the rings to Luke and his wife, it was still a nice recovery and nice long-distance happy ending!

Lake St.Louis Lost Wedding Band

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I was cleaning the gutters, not wearing gloves (lesson learned) and as I threw the debris, my wedding ring slid off my finger and went with the debris into an area of Ivey. In that environment, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Jeremy Roth of Ringfinders to the rescue. He found the ring along with a few other items overgrown by the ivey. Just in time to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary!

Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

James contacted me and told me that his wife had lost her ring in the front yard. It was yellow gold with a solitaire. He said it had been lost for around two months and they had rented a metal detector with no luck. When I got there I asked all of the usual questions that I always do. She said they had been arguing and she threw the ring across the front yard, and where she had been standing. This is always a great help, because it gives me a better idea where to look. I started my grid search in the likely area, and had made two passes across the yard. About one forth of the way back across the yard on the third pass, I got a solid 19 on my Manticore. It was the ring, but after two months it was already completely covered and not visible. The actual search time was less that fifteen minutes.
