I received a call about losing a few items of jewelry during a motorcycle accident along the side of the road. We setup a time to complete a search and I was able to find three of the bracelets at the location. He was happy to have the bracelets returned to him.

Eileen called just as I had gotten out of the dentists office, wondering if it would be possible to come and search for her I-Phone that slid off the roof of a car, and landed somewhere alongside the roadway. She explained that she had put the phone on the roof of the car, and said goodbye to her company. Forgetting the phone was on the roof she went inside, and her company drove off. The following day she realized the phone was missing, and realized what had happened. She contacted her friend hoping he had picked it up prior to leaving the night before, which wasn’t the case. They had finally decided it must have slid off the car roof and landed somewhere on the side of the road. Using the find my phone app. they found the last known location of the phone before it died, where they searched for 4 days without any luck. That was when she decided to call in a professional recovery expert. We made arrangements to meet on the side of the roadway that afternoon. It was there Eileen went into more detail about HOW important this phone was, as nothing was backed up to the cloud, including over 6000 pictures, that were absolutely unreplaceable. This area was right in front of a big housing complex, that had manicured grounds with fences and pristine walking paths. I was praying it didn’t fall off there as the grass cutters had recently cut the lawn, and it would have shredded it to bits, had they ran it over. I instructed Eileen to go into the management office, explain what happened, and ask if possibly the phone was turned in. While she was in doing that I covered the entire area on both sides of the road, and all the landscape, with no luck, just as I had figured. Standing back, looking in the opposite direction, the curve in the road looked ever so inviting of an area, for a phone to slide off the roof. I walked back covering everything from the road in about 10′ with no luck. Then I turned around and continued back along the tall weeds, and wood line. Right along the weeds, just inside of where the mowers cut, I received the loudest broken signal from my metal detector, that I know ever to familiar, would be her cell phone. Sure enough BINGO!!!! I had her phone. I decided to record the moment when I returned her it, and needless to say, what a heart filled experience it was, reuniting Eileen with over 6000 photos, which covered many years of her life prior, to this almost tragic mishap.
Kitty was visiting here and spent the last day of her vacation at the beach. She took off her special necklace with attached pendant, that was given to her from her grandmother, to apply some lotion. Well, you know the rest, it ended up in the dry sand where it seemed to completely disappear. After searching online, trying to contact some people in vain, talking with a few, including my fellow ring finding buddy Curtis just north of me. He told her that I was closer and could probably get on site quicker, since she had to get to the airport to catch her flight. Being Father’s day, a Sunday, summer time, and a hot sunny day (at least at my house), traffic and parking can make a 20 minute drive turn into an hour or more. My wife came with me in case she had to circle for a while if it came to that. As luck would have it, the weather at the beach had turned a bit cool and overcast, so, lots of folks were leaving the beach area and allowed us to get there quickly and find a parking spot close by. We met Kitty at the search area and got the story of the lost necklace. Not a huge area, maybe 20′ X 30′, but, she had no feeling as to the most likely spot. I decided to start at the north most end and work my way south. First target on my first pass was promising, but, not knowing what this was actually going to read on the detector, I would be investigating every signal. Success! A gold chain with it’s pendant came to light. An emotional Kitty gave us both a big hug and tearful thank you. A pleasure to meet you, glad you could make your flight, and thank you for the reward.

I received a text from Patrick who had lost his ring while cutting the grass. He had taken it off and put it in his pocket and thought it had fallen out in the yard. We talked and timing was not good as there were a lot of personal events happening. We talked and I found out that he was leaving for vacation and was going to make arrangements for someone to meet me at his house while he was gone. I thought about it and if I had been going on vacation I would be wondering and would not be able to truly have a relaxing time if my ring was missing, so I made arrangements to get there before he left.
He had marked a spot in the backyard where he thought it might be. I cheated and checked that area real quick and did not find it. Then I started my grid search. It took me between 5 to 10 minutes and I located it. It was not too far away from where he thought he had lost it. Patrick was glad to have it back and I was relieved to have found it. As always it was great to meet another kind and generous client and I hope he was able to enjoy his vacation a little more having his ring back.
Jennifer called to inquire about the possibility of recovering her wedding and engagement ring, that accidently flew off her finger into the water, at the boat dock. As usual I questioned her about exactly what had happened, as well as any information she might know about the water depth, clarity, current, etc. She explained that she had opened the state room door, stepped out onto the finger dock, and was brushing some crumbs off one of the boat cushions, when both rings flew right off her finger, into the dark water below. Jennifer was adamant this was exactly what happened, and confirmed both rings must be pretty much straight down, or possibly under the other boat, or under the finger pier. The water was a workable depth of around 5′ or so, depending on what end of the finger pier I was. Knowing how deep and dark the water was, I had to gather many items to ensure I had what was needed, to make this a successful recovery. Once on location at low tide, the water did average 5′, so that was a good thing. What wasn’t so good was how black and muddy the bottom was, as you can see the nasty black mud in the one picture. after clearing MANY targets, which is common in marina locations, I got a promising signal, that turned out to be Jennifer’s wedding ring. She was quite surprised I was able to find it with all the trash on the bottom. One would figure the other ring would be right near by, but after another 45 minutes, I had no luck. I really didn’t want to throw in the towel, but I was leaving for vacation early the following morning, and had to call it a day. Jennifer was extremely grateful, as I promised her I would return the first chance I had after I got home.
While wrestling with her daughter on the front lawn, she lost a recently received Mother’s Day pearl earring. Let’s see if we can get it back to where it belongs. Watch the video for the full story.

My wife and I recently were in Texas for about six weeks for the birth of our second grandson. I received several messages from individuals who had lost jewelry in the water at Honeymoon Island. Because I knew I would not be returning for several more weeks, I needed to call upon some experienced, trustworthy detectorists to conduct searches for these lost items as soon as possible and before they were found by someone who would not return them.
Adriacely contacted me to say that her husband Wil had lost a gold necklace with a large gold pendant given to him by his grandfather. Mitchell messaged that he had felt his white gold wedding ring slip off of his hand while he was paddleboarding. Tampa Ring Finder Jason Connolly and Scott Carlson of Pinellas County Florida Ring Recovery agreed to search for both items. After water searches by both, Scott (who had previously found and returned another necklace I had searched for) recovered and returned Wil’s gold necklace and Jason was able to find Mitchell’s wedding ring!
Adriacely and Wil, so very happy that Scott was able to find your necklace. Mitchell, it’s nice to see that wedding band back on your finger courtesy of Jason’s recovery efforts. Scott and Jason, thank you for your outstanding work done in these difficult water recoveries. And thank you for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder to help you find your lost jewelry!
My wife and I recently spent about six weeks in Texas for the birth of our second grandson. While there, I received a several messages from individuals who had lost jewelry in my area of Dunedin, Florida so I began to coordinate recovery efforts with experienced and trustworthy detectorists back home. I also was able to join a Texas A&M lost ring page and tried to do what I could to help reunite grads with their lost rings including three detecting searches in Texas as well as helping a grad find his ring that was for sale in a Houston pawn shop!
Jennifer contacted me from the Land o’ Lakes area and said that her fiancé had lost his gold ring in the edge of a lake while trying to skip a rock across the lake surface. His mother had given him the ring so it had a great deal of sentimental value. Jennifer had tried using her son’s metal detector to find the ring in the water but had no luck. I told Jennifer that I was out of town for a few more weeks but that I would contact Jason Connolly, the Tampa Ring Finder to coordinate a search for her as the lake was in his “territory” anyway. Jason met Jennifer on site and after about a 45 minute search was able to recover the ring in thigh deep water and return the ring to her!
Congratulations to Jennifer and to Jason for a job well done! Thank you to Jennifer for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder to help you find your fiancé’s precious ring!
