Recovery #394!

I recovered this wedding band once before. Got a call from Michael who I found his wedding band during the summer on Long Branch Beach asking if I could help him again. He was spending the morning in the Upper Raritan River trout fishing. While standing in waist deep water he clapped and shook his hands to try and dry them his ring flew off into the water. He tried to see if he could find it himself but the water was too muddy to see. He marked the area on the bank of the river and left. He called me and I told him i’d be happy to help but where he was, was a little over an hour away if he didn’t mind meeting me there in about an hour and a half. We met on the highway and I followed him to a little bridge, parked and from there we had to walk in the river about 100 yards to where he was fishing. We got to the marker he left and I went out to the middle and started detecting. I got 1 signal but that turned out to be trash. Then another and being a rocky bottom it took 6 tries to get it into my scoop and it turned out to be his ring. He was so glad I was able to find it for him. A great recovery on a Sunday afternoon hunt.

Great Job Dave Milsted! #393


Gloomy Day turned nice!

Bob contacted me through my website, asking if I could search for his lost ring. He had been doing yard work, and when he went to Loews for more supplies, he noticed that his titanium wedding ring was missing. We were both available this Saturday, weather permitting. We are expecting 4 days of heavy rain.

Saturday morning was gloomy, but the rain paused; we now have a fine mist. I met Bob at his house. He showed me his work area in the front of the house. He had planted some flowers and placed about 2 inches of mulch. If it is not here, it could be in his backyard, as he made several trips to his shed. I asked if he had searched his car, and he said yes. He also searched the parking lot at Loews.

I got started, and he returned to the house to tend to his 6-month-old & 2 large dogs. I did a quick check of both flower beds and noticed there were a lot of iron targets. This took all of 5 minutes. I dug a few, and they were old nails. So I need to slow down and make a much more thorough check.

About 10 minutes later, I got a signal under one of the bushes. Dug down about 3 inches, and there was his silver titanium ring. I took a few pictures and knocked on his door. Bob came out, and I asked him if I could search the backyard toward his shed. As he was answering and trying to figure out why it wasn’t here, because he was sure this was where it would be, I held up his ring, and when he finally noticed, the look on his face was priceless. I had asked him if he was in the dog house because he had lost his ring, he said no, but his wife was disappointed. She will be happy again.

I love my hobby!!

Recovery # 392

Found it! Got a call for a men’s lost wedding band at Alapocas Run State Park in Wilmington, Delaware over the weekend.

Lost on one of the fields while throwing a ball with his dog. A fairly large area but eventually it was under the search coil of my Whites V3i metal detector!

Another happy customer!
