I got a call from a young woman who lost her wedding set. She put her rings in her pant pocket, set her pants down to change to go into her pool. While she was in her pool her dog grabbed her pants and took them from the backyard around to the front of the house. She had a good idea of where they might be. When I arrived the entire yard was xeriscaped and under construction. There were roofing nails, screws and all kinds of building material everywhere. I started where she thought they could be which was in the front yard, with no success. On the side of the house there was a patch of hay and random trash, building material etc. After many signals from nails and screws I got a solid signal in the hay pile. One ring found….about 2 feet away in the hay was the other. She was so surprised I had found it so quickly, honestly so was I. Most of that time was trying to get the dog away from playing with the detector coil. 🙂 She was shy and did not want to show her face but was happy to model on her hand.

Ring found and return in Denver!!

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)

Tom lost his ring in his yard over a month ago. He tried renting a detector but did not know how to use it to the best extent possible. It was a special ring and when his daughters found out they decided to buy him a new one while they were in Ireland. He still thought of that ring as special so he gave us a call. After talking to Tom about where he may have lost it in his backyard, I decided to search the whole perimeter. About halfway through the yard I found the ring not far from a tree. He was so happy to have his ring back and to have a new one from his daughters as well!

Found wedding band at Boulder reservoir

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I was on my way back from spending a great weekend camping in Gunnison, Colorado when I got a call from a young man who’s wife lost her wedding band at Boulder reservoir. He had said they were spending a family day on the beach when she took her ring off to put on sunscreen. It was when they were leaving they realized she did not have her ring on.

I was almost 3 hours away from home and 4 hours away from them but they were willing to wait. They were 99% sure it was on the beach. I grabbed a coffee and headed for the road and continued on.

I arrived and he explained to me where they were and the path to the car. I am so thankful I had my detector but not much else for flagging. So I used my flip flops to mark a perimeter. After the obligatory Pull tab and a nail, I got a great signal about 5 feet from where they were sitting. As they were packing up the blanket was shook like most people do to get sand off and with the sand the ring followed. Thankfully it took less than 10 minutes.

It had been a long day for all of us but so worth seeing her smile. Definitely my favorite part of metal detecting.
