I finished the day 2-3 on recoveries, lack of sleep, many hours and miles driven to put smiles back on 2 of the 3 and hopes for the 3rd one it is somewhere in her bags waiting to be found!

While on the ferry ride to Southport coming back from Bald Head Island and after successfully completing my early morning ring recovery. I get a call from a gentleman telling me his wife lost her wedding set in some grass at the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, NC last night. They were able to find the engagement ring, but the wedding band wasn’t able to be found.

They had lots of help from police and pedestrians all trying to locate this ring in the dark!

He found me online and gave me a call. I advised him of my current location/situation and assured him that I could head straight to him once I get back to my truck and change into some dry clothes. Four hours later I arrived and met the both of them. I get my gear ready, get the story, area to search and start the recovery!

About 15-20 mins I get a ring hit, look down to scan with my pin-pointer and I see a ring shaped object! I could just barely see it with the grass already covering it. It would’ve been impossible to see this one with just the naked eye!

After a few photos and “couple embraces” it’s back on her finger where it belongs to stay forever!

I DIDN’T EVEN TURN ON MY MACHINE!!!

Received a text message that a gentleman had lost his platinum wedding ring in his yard.

I told him I could leave in a few mins and would be there in an hour and a half.

I arrive, get my gear, meet him, we make our way to the backyard where I get the scoop.

He was skimming his pool and he was shaking his hands dry next to a black/rod iron looking fence that had a row of elephant ears growing on the pool side of the fence.

As he was showing me the direction he thought the ring went, stating it’s probably on the other side of these elephant ears. He goes to move the plants back and we look down and we both see the ring! He was like, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MY WIFE AND LOOKED ALL OVER FOR THIS RING!”

I took a couple of photos and loaded up to head back home.

Love the easy ones!

Received a text from a fellow ring finder asking if I wanted to take a double ring recovery that he wasn’t available to go out on. Of course I said, “SURE!”

I was passed on that they were lost at a wedding venue.

He sent me his number, I texted him, he said he lost them after he put them in his pocket before playing football with some kids. Turned out he had a hole in his pocket and that’s how he lost them. We set up a time when I could be there. I also had to gain permission from the Venue. The Venue said I could come out, but I had to be off the property by noon because they have events scheduled from noon today all the way until Sunday.

I arrived at 10 am, took me about an hour, but I found them both about 7 inches apart!

When we met up, his first words were, “YOU GOT ME OUT OF THE DOGHOUSE!”

Received a text from a past customer that his wife bad lost her silver ring (AGAIN)!

He asked me if I could come and find it today, I said yes and headed out.

l arrive and was told he put her on his shoulders and was spinning her around and around many times fast and it flew off her finger and into some vines and briars. It flew about 30 feet!!

I turn on and set up my machine to find silver and luckily it was on the farthest side from the direction it flew off. It was only about 2.5 feet into the vines.

Received a text/call last night from a gentleman that proceeded to tell me his wife lost a custom engagement ring while they were swimming yesterday.

He said she lost it in waist deep water. They had gotten to the spot by boat, but I found a half mile trail, there and back, I could take without needing to launch my boat.

I get to the site and got set up, walked into the water and got a solid hit on my first target! Two scoops later and it was in the basket!!!

I texted him and we met up to give it back to him!
