Houston Metal Detecting Services – Texas A&M Class of 2000 Ring Recovery

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)
Houston Metal Detecting Services – Texas A&M Class of 2000 Ring Recovery
Two weeks ago, Steven reached out with a tough request: help finding his lost Texas A&M Class of 2000 ring at A.D. Dyess Park in East Houston.
Steven explained that while coaching a softball practice, the unthinkable happened. Between hitting grounders in the outfield, he took off his ring and slipped it into his pocket. Later, after running across the field several times, he remembered pulling his phone from that same pocket and suspected that’s when the ring was lost. The problem? Steven wasn’t sure where in the outfield it had happened.
Over the following two weeks, Steven conducted an extensive search. He even purchased his own metal detector and scanned the field multiple times, but with no luck. That’s when he decided to call in professional help.
The Recovery Effort
I met Steven today at the field, and together we set up visual grid markers to organize the search. We discussed his detector, reviewed the settings, and assigned him a sector of the field to work on. While Steven worked his grid carefully, I began expanding my search beyond the marked area.
It didn’t take long before I hit a strong signal about five feet outside Steven’s search grid. I quickly repositioned four of the grid markers around the signal and called out, “Let’s take a break.”
As Steven walked back across the outfield, I asked him to run his own detector over the marked area—just to confirm it was working properly. Within a few swings, his machine gave a solid hit. Steven looked down and there it was: his Texas A&M Class of 2000 ring shining back at him from the grass.
The Moment
The look on Steven’s face was absolutely priceless. After weeks of searching and countless hours of effort, his ring was finally back where it belonged.
This recovery marks another memorable success for Houston Metal Detecting Services—bringing us up to around 40 Texas A&M class rings returned to their owners. Every one of them carries a unique story, and Steven’s recovery is another reminder of why we enjoy doing this work.

Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered from Murky Tiki Island Waters

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)
Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered from Murky Tiki Island Waters
Today, Houston Metal Detecting Services successfully reunited a 1985 Texas A&M class ring with its rightful owner—Tim, a Colorado resident—after it spent the last several months buried beneath the murky waters of a residential canal on Tiki Island.
Back in March, Tim was visiting friends on Tiki Island when the unexpected happened. While standing on the second-story deck of the home, tossing chips to a flock of eager seagulls, Tim said he felt his ring slip off his finger mid-throw. He watched in disbelief as it arced through the air and disappeared into the water, about 25 feet out from the balcony into the canal below.
Despite making several attempts to retrieve it himself over the following days, diving into the canal’s zero-visibility water, Tim quickly learned that the bottom was a thick, mucky mess—making the task next to impossible.
Months passed. Unsure whether recovery was even feasible, Tim contacted a local metal detecting club in the Galveston area, who referred him to Houston Metal Detecting Services, recognizing the technical difficulty of such a recovery: deep open water, zero visibility, and a silty bottom.
Tim and I spoke about the challenges, and he mentioned he was planning another visit to his friends’ home on Tiki Island. We agreed to meet that weekend to evaluate the area. A bottom probe revealed a 2–5 inch layer of soft muck resting atop a firmer base—making the ring potentially recoverable with the right equipment and precision technique.
With a plan in place, the actual search took place today. After carefully marking the suspected drop zone, suiting up, and working methodically through the silted bottom, the unmistakable ping of the detector confirmed what we were hoping for: Tim’s class ring was still there.
The ring was successfully recovered and, as the attached photos show, Tim is once again the proud owner of his cherished 1985 Texas A&M ring—and he’ll be taking it back home to Colorado as a symbol of both Aggie pride and persistence.
Another recovery complete. Another story added to the adventure.

Lost Gold Ring in Texas Heat Wave Brenham, Texas

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)

Sentimental Gold Band lost during yard work in the Texas Heat Wave in Brenham, Texas recovered by Houston Metal Detecting Services.

A quick trip to Brenham to search for a sentimental Gold Band, produced positive results. Perhaps one of our fastest recoveries, in a very large search area. Turn on your detector, check settings, swing detector, and BANG Gold Ring. It’s always nice when it works out that way, especially on 100-degree days, but more often than not, it’s hard and hot work in this Texas environment.

The photograph is an indication of work well done!

Gold Wedding Ring Lost in a Cypress, Texas back yard while playing toss with the dog, recovered by John Volek-TRF Houston

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)

Gold Wedding Ring Lost in a Cypress, Texas back yard while playing toss with the dog, recovered by John Volek-TRF Houston

I was contacted by Nikos a resident of Cypress, Texas who was looking for help in finding his lost Gold wedding band in the backyard of his residence. Nikos reported he had been throwing his dog’s fetch toy in the backyard of his residence when the ring was lost. He stated during one of the throws his custom-made gold wedding ring flew off his finger and landed somewhere in his backyard.

Nikos said he spent several hours searching for his ring, and eventually procured a metal detector to aid him in his searching efforts.  After several attempts with the metal detector and many hours in the Texas heat, Nikos realized he needed some help and conducted a little internet research and came across The Ring Finders Metal Detecting Service. Nikos said, he placed the call without hesitation and asked how successful I felt about finding his lost wedding ring.

After setting up a time with Nikos, I arrived the following day and conducted the search for his lost ring.  Nikos walked me through his steps and re-enacted the throwing of the dog toy to demonstrate the pathway the ring may have taken.

The photographs show the outcome of this search and help to illustrate that just renting or borrowing a metal detector may not always be the solution.

Great day in Texas!

Lost Wedding Ring Houston, Texas (found) by John Volek

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)

Wedding Rings lost while throwing out trash in Houston (found) by John Volek

I was contacted by Josh and Courtney today regarding Courtney’s  lost wedding ring. Josh said the ring was lost last night in the parking lot of a local pub in the Houston area.

Josh said, as they exited the pub last night, Courtney picked up a bottle that was laying in the parking lot near their truck. Josh said Courtney walked over to where the dumpster was and threw the bottle in the receptacle. Josh said unfortunately her wedding rings flew off  while tossing the bottle. Josh said they were able to immediately find the engagement ring in front of the dumpster, but they could not find the matched wedding band.

Josh said they searched in the dark for quite some time and returned the next morning armed with a new metal detector. Josh said they search for several hours and were not able to find the missing wedding band.

Josh said Courtney searched the internet and found « The Ring Finders », and placed the call. I met Josh and Courtney this afternoon to search for her ring. The conditions were really difficult as you can see from the picture,  but Josh’s and Courtney’s picture tells how it ended.

Josh and Courtney were a great couple, and it was great to be able to reunite them with their rings.

and it was no surprise we eventually found the ring.

Post Tension Foundation Cable Locating Sugar Land, Texas

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)

02/18/2015

I was contacted this morning by Cordell regarding assistance in locating the post tension cables in a concrete foundation. Cordell advised his daughters home was under renovation, and he was needing to confirm the location and existence of the post tension cables in the foundation.

I met with Cordell an hour later and observed the renovations of his daughters home in progress. Cordell said the foundation was being fixed-leveled and his was wanting to confirm the location of the existing post tension cables.

Once the first horizontal cable was located, pin-pointing the remaining horizontal and vertical cables at five foot intervals was quite easy.

A handheld TRX pin-pointer performed this function with ease.
