Shotgun Overboard! An Unexpected Recovery Mission

  • from Terjarv (Finland)
Contact:

Early this morning, while I was at work, a coworker called me. The moment I heard his voice, I knew something had gone wrong. There was desperation in his voice — he needed help, and fast.

He had been out waterfowl hunting with a friend when disaster struck. As he was lifting the dog back into the canoe, his shotgun accidentally slipped overboard and vanished beneath the dark water of the lake.

There was only one thing to do: grab the metal detector and head out on an unexpected underwater treasure hunt.

When we arrived at the lake, his friend was already waiting for us with the canoe ready to go. I loaded all my detecting gear into the canoe, climbed aboard, and we headed out across the water toward the spot where it had all happened.

Once we reached the area, it was time to get wet. Wading through cold water, thick reeds, and deep mud, I began sweeping the bottom with the metal detector, hoping the shotgun hadn’t disappeared too deep into the muck.

Then, finally, I got the signal we had been hoping for…

Success! Against the odds, the lost shotgun was found and recovered! 😄💪

Not exactly the kind of treasure I usually go looking for — but definitely one recovery they won’t forget anytime soon! 😄

LOST UNDERWATER CELL PHONE FOUND WEEKS LATER WORKS!

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Jacksonville, NC – While fishing by the New River, Alexander accidentally kicked his phone into the water and assumed it was gone for good. Weeks later, after having to put down his pet ferret, he realized all his photos of the animal were on that phone. He reached out to Crystal Coast Ring Finders, and I went to help. A friend warned me the area was known for alligators, but Alexander gave me a clear idea of where to search. Using a fishing magnet to test the semi-soft riverbed, I found the depth was manageable. After several passes through the murky water, I finally located Alexander’s phone—it was actually the second phone I recovered that day from the same location. Since he wasn’t home, I left it in a designated spot. Later that night, Alexander sent me a picture of it charging and working again. I was thrilled he could recover all his cherished photos.

Lost gold wedding ring, FOUND! Cape May Point, New Jersey

By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Kim & Daniela. They explained that they had spent the day at Pearl beach in Cape May Point. At some point during their visit, Danielas gold wedding ring went missing. She wasn’t sure when it was lost during their visit, but she was confident that it was at the beach as she was sure it was on her finger when they arrived earlier in the day and noticed it was gone just after leaving the beach. Daniela was concerned that it may be in the water as she had spent some time swimming as well. I met Kim & Daniela on the beach and we identified the areas they had been while visiting. I began grid searching the area where they had been sitting on the beach first. I made a few passes over the area and found Danielas ring a few inches beneath the dry sand. Tears of joy & relief were flowing! Daniela truly thought it was “gone forever” Another happy ending, another successful recovery!

Kims Review: « There are still people in our world that care about others and genuinely want to help… this defines Jeffrey from Cape May Ring Finders.

Our story:
We had a beautiful day at our favorite beach, followed by sitting down to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in town. The waitress complimented my wife on her nail polish, and as she walked away, my wife glanced down at her hands and gasped, “My ring!”
Her wedding band was missing from her finger as panic seeped in. A dinner plate full of tears followed by a sleepless night. The only explanation was that it was lost somewhere on that beach… the same place we got engaged.
The next morning, I found Jeffrey online at Ring Finders Cape May. I texted him to see if he could help us. I explained the situation, he asked a few questions, and then asked, “Can you meet me in 20 minutes?” We rushed to meet him, and remarkably, within 10 minutes our ring was found! We couldn’t believe it — Jeffrey is pure magic.
We are forever grateful for Jeffrey, and he gives us faith that our world still has selfless angels among us.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️«

Lost gold wedding ring, FOUND! Avalon, NJ By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Sigmund. Sigmund explained that he was enjoying the day on the beach with his wife and friends here in Avalon, New Jersey. Shortly after leaving, he realized that his wedding ring was no longer on his hand. The group returned to the beach and began searching where they had been sitting only to end up empty handed. After a brief discussion I rode up and met the couple on 30th street beach. After meeting, we began walking down and Sigmund informed me that his 12th wedding anniversary was on this upcoming Monday, so the couple was a little “extra” eager to find the ring. Once we arrived on the beach, I began checking the area the group identified. After two passes I had Sigmund’s MASSIVE gold ring in my scoop. Another happy ending, another happy couple!

Sigmund’s Review: « It was days before my anniversary, and I lost my ring at beach. My wife found Jeff’s number, and we called him and I’m so glad we did. Jeff & his wife showed up in less than 20 mins and found my ring in a few seconds. They were friendly and Jeff went straight to work! I highly recommend if you find yourself in this unfortunately situation. »

Soccer Field Madness!!!

  • from Bristol (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

Success! The Bristol Rec Department reached out to me about assisting them locating 24 corners they put in last year for their soccer fields. They installed screw pins with white whiskers to help with making each year laying out the lines a breeze but a summer of mowing they did not stand up to the test of time.  The 4 smaller fields didn’t take much time at all to locate but the mid-sized field was the troublemaker. Always nice to help my community.

Gold Wedding Ring Recovered in Chapel Hill

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

Lorrie, a very nice woman in Chapel Hill, contacted me about finding her late husband’s wedding ring. Since he passed three years ago, she had been wearing the ring on her index finger. Although she had been very diligent about always knowing where the ring was, it had gone missing and she was heartbroken. She had torn apart the inside of the house and was positive it was not there, leading her to the conclusion that it must have come out of her pocket when she pulled out a poop bag for her dog, Henry, in the backyard. We both thought this was a long-shot attempt to get the ring back, but given how dear the ring was to her and the time she had put in searching the inside of the house, I came over to close the loop and search that one last possible spot. The area where Henry does his business is small, so it only took 10 minutes or so to cover it – or at least it took 10 minutes for me to recover the ring. It was laying on the ground (under the grass and not immediately visible) right in the middle of where she thought it was. Any recovery is meaningful to me, but some are a little more heartfelt – like this one. Another happy ending! (After giving her the ring, she begged off on having her picture taken with no makeup – this was the best I could do!)

Lost Car Keys Recovered in Chapel Hill

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

Susan, a woman in Chapel Hill, called me and explained that she wanted my help in locating a set of car keys. I asked the basic questions – where, when, how, etc. and it unfolded like this: Her son drove to a friend’s house to help move some downed tree branches from where they fell, over to the woods on the other side of the adjacent field. For whatever reason, he set the keys to his car on the deck of the four-wheeler they were using to haul the branches. The keys fell off the four-wheeler at some point and mom had to bring over a spare set of keys to get the car home. Although glad that she had a spare set, she was hoping I could find the original set and avoid the cost of a replacement key fob. The grass was high and the surface of the ground wasn’t visible, so it wasn’t surprising that they had been unable to locate the keys just by walking through the field. I met Susan at the house and we walked to the field where they’d been working. The younger brother of the friend showed me where they had been working and it only took about 15 minutes of searching to find the key fob. Very glad to get it back to Susan for her car. Another happy ending!

Lost Item Recovered in Holly Springs

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

I got a call from Bill, a nice gentleman in Holly Springs who had lost a hearing aid while collecting and moving brush and sticks. Bill’s house sits next to a pond and twice each day, the gnats come out to pester anyone in the backyard. Bill was working with gloves on, and in one of his « get-away-from-me-gnat » swipes with his gloved hand, he had inadvertently knocked the hearing aid out of his ear. It was a little later that Bill realized the hearing aid was gone. He had looked all over where he had been working and had swept the area with a magnet, hoping the hearing aid would stick to the magnet, all with no luck. We then made arrangements for me to come out and search. He had the remaining hearing aid that I was able to scan, but it gave only a very tiny, weak signal on my detector. (There’s just not enough metal in a tiny hearing aid to give much of a signal on the detector.) Anyway, Bill showed me where he had been working and we started looking – Bill with his magnet and me with my detector. After maybe 35 or 40 signals that turned out to be false alarms, I did find the tiny hearing aid. If it had been one of the hearing aids that has the big battery resting behind the ear, this would have been much easier. As you can see in the pictures, Bill’s was the type that fits entirely in the ear canal, giving me almost no metal to detect. After finding it, Bill and his wife explained that he had an upcoming appointment for an upgrade and had he arrived with only one hearing aid in hand, he would have gotten no trade-in credit on the new device. Glad it worked out for them – another happy ending!

LOST GOLD WEDDING RING IN RIVER NEAR BREVARD, NC….FOUND!!!

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

Received a call from this gentleman “3 month newlywed” saying he had lost his gold ring in the river while floating! I told him as soon as I get off work I’ll make the nearly 4 hour drive to rescue his ring.

I arrive at 5 pm and follow him to the spot. We parked and made a steep decent to the waters edge as we get to the bottom, he said “right here is where I think I lost it”, but he wanted me to start a little higher and work my way down just to make sure. Not a problem!

The water was 1-2 feet deep in spots and I didn’t have my goggles. It was moving pretty good and was colder than I expected. The river and the rocks held many challenges as I made my way down river trying to stay on the path he took, keep my balance, check every spot I could with the @XP deus II and the HF coil! ONLY WOULD’VE WORKED HERE!

After two lures and a signal I couldn’t get to, I get another hit while sitting on a mossy rock trying to find 3rd signal.

I held the pinpointer in my left hand and used my first two fingers. As I followed the vibration to the target, I made two swipes with my fingers and I felt the familiar feeling of a ring slide on my finger!!! It had been found!!!

It was a challenge, but I overcame and adapted to the conditions and not having all my gear!
