Received a call from a man that lost his wedding ring at a Chicago beach, in the volleyball court.
He put it in his backpack for safe keeping, you know the rest of the story.
Took about a half hour, happy camper.
Beautiful Chicago scenery never gets old, I love it.
Going to the beach, leave your ring at home, on your finger or keep my number handy.

Dan in Sharpsburg, GA contacted me about a hearing aid he recently lost while doing yard work. Fortunately, he had a good idea of where it came off which greatly helped reduce the search area. It took a few hours, but I finally got my metal detector over it and was able to recover it and return it to him in one piece this morning.
I got a call from a lady saying that she lost her engagement ring in Lake Huron at Crescent State Park in Michigan. My daughter and I traveled 2 1/2 hours to meet the couple. After they showed me where it should be in the water, I got searching and found it in about 15 minutes. It was worth driving that distance to see the smiles on their faces.
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.
Received a call from a woman who had lost her diamond engagement ring, in her yard in Chicago.
She had been waving her hand while showing her fiancé just how loose the ring was… you can probably guess what happened next.
The search area was full of tall grass and heavy trash, but after 45 minutes, luck—and persistence—paid off.
The ring was recovered, and it was absolutely beautiful.
I got a call from a lady saying that her husband lost his wedding ring at Sanford Lake in Michigan. I met them both there to try to find it. The husband said he was in about a 75 foot long area along the beach in the water. He said that he didn’t go out farther than 30 feet. He was playing with his kids and crawling on the lake bottom. I figured that I would start at where he could crawl and keep his head above water. In less than five minutes and my first signal, I scooped up his ring.They were both happy to have it back and it made my day to get it back to him.
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!
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.
