Alek was visiting Tampa on business and hanging out with some friends at Ben T. Davis Beach when his 18k gold and diamond ring went missing. He had taken off his ring and put it in his pocket to play volleyball and afterwards had run into the water and dove under. Alek along with his friends frantically searched in the sand and then knee to waist deep water with flashlights since the sun had set but had no luck. Alek found me online and reached out to see if I could come search that evening and I agreed to help because he sounded so desperate. By the time I started searching it was almost 9pm so for several hours I searched the volleyball area and then the water but I was not able to find the ring. Alek and I agreed to meet at 8am the next morning to search again and when I arrived, I noticed that the tide was so low that the area that Alek was in the night before was no longer under water! What a blessing that was. After searching for about 45 minutes in the wet, mucky sand, Alek and I came upon his beautiful ring half buried in the muck! The ring is back where it belongs.

Luigi had just spent a few weeks in the hospital and rehab and decided to get some fresh air and to do a little yard work. For a while, he picked up leaves by hand and tossed them into a can. As he finished, Luigi realized that his 18k Italian gold wedding band that he had been wearing for 51 years was no longer on his finger! The ring had become loose on his finger as he had lost some weight in the hospital and was lost somewhere in the yard. Luigi and wife Cathey frantically searched through all the collected leaves and in the area of yard where was Luigi was working. Unable to locate the ring, Cathey found me through a Google search. I arrived at Luigi and Cathey’s home at dark after conducting another, unfortunately unsuccessful, search and after about 45 minutes, Luigi’s wedding ring was back on his finger where it belonged!

Nancy’s husband Eddie had sadly passed away only a few months before and Nancy wore his wedding ring on her thumb. Recently, she worked in her back yard to cover several plants to protect them from an expected freeze and afterwards she drove to the beach to take a few pictures of the crashing waves. When she returned home, Nancy realized that the ring was no longer on her thumb! Fortunately, Nancy reported the loss on local social media in case the ring had been found at the beach and several people referred Nancy to me. We set up a search beginning with Nancy’s yard near the plants she had covered and after about a 30 minute search, I located the ring hidden in the grass! Needless to say, Nancy was thrilled to have her late husband’s ring back where it belonged!

Amy took a short walk on Sand Key and after she returned to her car she realized that her bracelet was no longer on her wrist. The bracelet was very precious to her as it contained some of her late father’s ashes and he had passed away about 10 years ago. Amy searched for the bracelet in the sand with the help of a law enforcement officer but she was unable to find it. She later posted the loss on a local social media page called Seminole Happenings and several people tagged me. I reached out to Amy for the specifics, drove over to Sand Key the next morning, and found the bracelet after about a 30 minute search partially buried in the sand! Very blessed to have been able to get the precious bracelet back where it belonged!

A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (practically)!

Tia found out about my free metal detecting service on social media and messaged me to say that her daughter Ryin had been playing with puppy Teddy in her back yard when Teddy jumped up and pulled out one of her diamond earrings! They had been unable to locate the earring so I came over to search. Even though Tia had the other earring so that I could obtain an accurate VDI reading on my detector, it was so small that it did not provide a strong reading on the detector or even my handheld pinpointer detector. I searched for awhile in one mode, checked out a couple of targets in the grass with Tia’s help and when we couldn’t locate the earring, I set my detector on another mode and retested the earring. After the test, I picked up the earring in my glove and dropped it in the grass but thankfully Tia spotted it right away so I didn’t have to look for two! The new mode provided a little better signal so I searched the small grassy area once more. I found a somewhat promising target and because Tia had to leave in a few minutes, she searched the grass by hand while I moved on to find another possible target. A minute later Tia cried out that she had found the earring! A few minutes later she contacted daughter Ryin who was traveling with her boyfriend and gave her the good news.

JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!!

Kayla found about my metal detecting service through the page Seminole Happenings and messaged me to let me know that her husband Jasen had lost his wedding ring in their front yard the day before. Jasen was wiping water off of the Christmas decoration inflatables when he felt his ring fly off of his finger into the thick St. Augustine grass. He and the family were unable to locate the ring so I set up a search with Kayla. When I arrived daughter Lauren became my assistant and pointed to the areas that she thought I should search. After only about five minutes, my detector found a promising target and when I pushed aside the grass I had uncovered Jasen’s ring! I asked Lauren to come over and gave her my handheld pinpointer detector so she could “find” the ring for daddy. Since Jasen was playing golf at the time and was unaware of my search, I suggested to Kayla and Lauren that they wrap the ring and give it to Jasen as an early Christmas gift which they did. The pictures tell the rest of the story!

Carola, her friend Esteban and other friends were participating in a field day at Plant Park when Carola realized that she had lost her ring in the thick grass. Esteban found me online and I headed to the park to search for the ring in the late afternoon. When I arrived, I found out that a young lady named Elena had also lost a gold bracelet participating in the same event. Fortunately, I was able to find Carola’s ring in less than 30 minutes but I was unable to find Elena’s bracelet, even searching some after dark. Tampa Ring Finder Jason Connolly followed up with another search the next day for Elena’s bracelet but he was unable to find it as well. Carola was very happy to have her ring back on her finger and hopefully Elena’s bracelet will turn up soon!

I received a call from Fernando about 4:30pm and he told me that his wife of five months Kenza had lost her beautiful Cartier 18k gold wedding ring in the water at Honeymoon Island State Park throwing a football to her husband. Fortunately, some nearby beachgoers told them about my free metal detecting service.
I was able to begin the search a little after 5pm knowing that I would only have about two hours until one of our beautiful sunsets. Fernando and Kenza’s son Samy was fishing in the search area and at one point I was able to recover a fishing lure he had lost in the water! After searching for about an hour and a half I had only recovered a quarter and the lure and then I hit a promising target about waist deep that I thought could have been a penny. When I pulled my scoop out of the water, Fernando came over and saw that I found Kenza’s heavy gold wedding ring!! Kenza was speechless for just a moment and then she was overcome with joy! I was just happy that I was able to find it before dark although I would have come back the next morning to search again. We watched another beautiful sunset and I thanked God for answered prayers!🙏😎

Before Dave began to hit some golf balls at the driving range, he removed his wedding band and put in his pocket. Dave also put a towel in the same pocket. At some point he pulled the towel out of his pocket to dry his hands and then realized later that his wedding band must have come out as well and fallen into the grass. Dave searched for his ring but was unable to find it. He found me on social media, we set up a search with my metal detector, and after about 10 minutes Dave’s gold wedding band was back on his finger! Contact me if I can help you!

Karina was in her car parked at her church and decided to put some lotion on her hands before she went inside. She took off her beautiful gold rings, one with an emerald and diamonds and the other with rubies and diamonds, placed them in her lap, applied the lotion and then got out of the car, flipping the rings off of her lap into the thick grass parking lot. When she realized what had happened, Karina began to search the grass frantically with her hands, hoping she could locate the rings this way. Some boys who attended the church came over to help her search by hand but the rings could not be found. Karina decided to purchase an inexpensive metal detector to search on her own and then someone at work told her about my metal detecting service.
Karina contacted me, we set up a search and when I arrived Karina pulled her metal detector as well as a hand held pinpointer out of her car and asked if she could search as well. I suggested that she just use the pinpointer for the time being so her detector would not interfere with mine. Karina’s sister Naira was there as well, looking on anxiously. After searching the thick grass for about 30 minutes, I hit a promising target, pushed down into the grass with my pinpointer and out popped the emerald ring! Karina was so excited that she rushed over, dug through the grass with her hands and found the ruby ring herself! The smile on her face tells the rest of the story!
