Yesterday I found a platinum wedding band for Tim, who lost it while pulling weeds in his garden and moving the weeds and brush to a burn pile
He said he never had the band off in 22 years of marriage and his anniversary is on Friday. So he got it back just in time.
I received a text from a young man at Duke University. He stated he lost a family heirloom class ring. I told him I’d come out tonight and see if I could find it.
I get there and get the story. He was playing frisbee and threw it awkwardly when he felt the ring fly off but didn’t see where it landed.
I start my search and in about 20 mins I found the lost ring in the area of about where he felt it had to have landed. It was found based on the information provided.
I asked him if he could share the history of the ring.
This is a short story of the ring:
“The ring was from my great uncle’s high school graduation in 1953. He later became an army officer and passed away from his service before I was born (I was named after him).
It was then given to my uncle, who passed away, then to my dad who gave it to my sister, who passed it to me. It’s now been in our family for 73 years.”
I was so glad this one was found and returned! All ring recoveries are important, but the sentimental and heriloom ones are the most rewarding.

I was unloading bags of mulch from my truck bed. When I was taking a couple bags off my hand slipped and my wedding ring went flying. I didn’t see it flying in the air but heard it hit the deck to the side of the garage which has stairs that down one level. I could not tell if it was on top of the deck or side of the deck that the ring hit. But a heard a thud type sound and then the ring was gone. I looked around and could not see anything. I also borrowed a friend’s metal detector and could not find it. Jeremy came out and found it so fast I couldn’t believe it. Thank you so much!
Easter Sunday my wife was hiding eggs in the yard. Our engagement ring was previously stolen, so the tiny wedding band was all we had left. No idea where it flew off while dropping eggs. I figured it was gone for good, but just like Jesus, it came back!
Jeremy was able to save the day 
Karen reached out after losing her ring in the backyard while starting some spring cleanup. One minute it was on her finger, the next it was gone. No gloves and no clear idea where it slipped off, just the feeling it might be gone for good.
This was not just any ring. It represents 45 years of marriage. You could hear how much it meant.
We began searching the yard slowly, working through signals and covering the area piece by piece. Plenty of noise along the way, but about 30 minutes in, a clean solid tone came through. The kind that makes you stop.
And there it was.
Ring recovered and back where it belongs.
What an amazing Sunday morning.
This has been a crazy one!
So I get a text from this young lady saying she had lost some rings while playing with her kids in their wooded area of their back yard. She had placed all the rings in her pocket but she didn’t know there was a hole! Little did I know there were a total of 7!
I get there Wednesday night and found 4 of the 7 before I had to go out of town. I tried again last night and the 5th of the 7 was found. There are still 2 more that are soldered together left to be found.
Plan is for me to try again soon. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Received a text from a gentleman stating his wife had lost a gold ring with a large topaz stone while doing some gardening/planting in there backyard a few days ago.
We agree on a date and time. I make the drive, get to the area and 15 mins later found her ring!
Only it wasn’t in the flowerbed, it was in a pot that she planted a plant in! I scanned the plastic pot and got a signal. The first signal was a wine twist top. I put everything back and there was still a signal!
Last signal was her 14k gold ring with large topaz stone!

It was Wednesday evening and I was enjoying dinner with my BFF and detecting partner in Gulf Shores when I got a call from Justin who was vacationing at the beach from St Louis, MO. In spite of my phone displaying an unknown number, something told me to answer it. He explained that he had lost his wedding band over on Dauphin Island and sounded quite desperate to find it. Since I was visiting my friend for a week, I suggested I could probably look for it on Friday when I was planning to pass through on my way back home to Mobile. Hearing the disappointment in his voice, I decided my friend and I could go ahead and hop on the ferry first thing Thursday morning instead and try to help him out.
Justin anxiously met us upon our arrival at his rental and explained that he had thrown a football and felt the ring come off as he did so. They had been looking in the sand for it but, being platinum, it blended right in with the sand. He showed us where he had been standing and had even staked out an area where he believed the ring to be. By the time I was getting my machine set up, Cheryl had already completed her first pass of the area we were going to grid. I took about three steps toward the area to start when I heard Cheryl right behind me say, “I found it”….. pretty much right where I had been standing when I turned on my detector lol. There’s a good reason she is becoming known in the area by her well deserved nickname – “Beach Angel”. For the second time this week, I was thankful to have her with me as she seems to have an uncanny ability to go right to the exact area when we are doing a search. And Justin was very thankful to put his ring back on his finger where it belonged ! And please check out his awesome ministry channel on YouTube – Trial by Faith ……
