On Saturday morning (February 24th, 2024), I received a call from Susan stating her husband, George, had done it again! George lost his gold wedding band a second time while working in the mulch beds. George is now my second repeat client. He had lost his ring in March 2023 doing the same thing and had used my metal detecting service to find it. Susan told George that she thought they could find it, but George said no, we’re calling Christina, lol. Thanks for trusting my service! I was free the rest of the day, so I got ready, grabbed my gear, and headed out to meet George at his home in Huntsville, Alabama.
I met George about an hour and a half after Susan’s call. He showed me the area he had been working in that morning. He said he didn’t think it was cold enough for his ring to slip off, but then said he guessed he was wrong. The area was pretty small, and George knew he had the ring on when he started. I had my notes from the last time I found George’s ring. It was a 25 on the Nox 900, so I knew exactly what I was looking for. I got out my Minelab Equinox 900 and started my search. About 2 minutes in, I had a shallow 25 beeping on my metal detector. I told George, “I think we have it!” I bent down, moved a piece of shrubbery, and there was George’s gold wedding band! Thank you, Lord God!!!
George was so thankful to have it back! I told him that I enjoy seeing him, but hopefully there won’t be a third time under these circumstances, lol. We took some photos, and I was on my way home. This actually might’ve been my quickest recovery. I think it was under 2 minutes. It definitely makes up for the longer, tougher searches. Looking forward to the next adventure…
I was over on LBI checking out the beach when I received a call from Stephen. He had been doing yard work earlier in the day and noticed his wedding ring was not on his finger when he was wrapping it up for the day. Stephen had stated that between raking leaves, trimming some bushes, and a few other odds and ends around the yard, somehow his wedding ring went missing. I asked him if anything was brought to the recycling center, and his response was no, which was a big relief. I told him I could swing by in about 30 min. which worked perfect for the both of us. Once I arrived we went over in detail exactly what he was doing, and then we narrowed it down to the most likely place his ring could have been lost. After a short discussion, we headed over to the area he had been bagging some leaves, and in the same spot he had been loading brush into cans. I made a half dozen passes with my machine, when I received a really nice signal, and BINGO, there was Stephens wedding ring just a few inches under some yard debris. The look on his face was priceless as I handed his lost ring back.
Tony was doing some surf fishing in Lavallette NJ early one Saturday morning with his buddies. It was pretty close to high tide when he realized his phone was missing, but he wasn’t quite sure where it could be. He looked everywhere possible when he figured it must have fallen out somewhere in the water while he was fishing. Loosing a phone can be very devastating with all the pictures, videos, and other information that can be stored on them now. Needless to say this was the situation with Tony, especially the pictures and videos of friends and family that can NEVER be replaced. Luckily I was able to locate his phone during the next low tide, about 20′ down the hill, right where the low tide waves were breaking. It was already buried in the sand over 12″, and prob. very close to being lost for ever. Time is so important when recovering lost items in the surf or ocean, that is why you need to call ASAP when an item is lost.
