Lost Wedding Ring found April 2021:
(Lost Item #3127)
Good afternoon John --
I received the lost ring report last night. I emailed Ashley this morning and made arrangements to meet her and her husband after work. I met them at their house around 4pm today and they explained how and where they lost the ring. After approximately 5 minutes I was able to locate and return her husbands wedding band. They were very gracious and offered to pay, which I refused. I explained we do this for free.
The thrill of finding and returning another ring was reward enough!
Thanks,
Tom Durbin

Lost Wedding Ring found May 2021:
(Lost Item #3131)
Hello John,
I contacted the owner while I was at the vet's office with my JRT. He reported that another detectorist was scheduled to look for the ring that morning, and provided me the details regarding the location of the loss.
Later in the day, he reported that the first seeker found the area too trashy (a grassy area about 200'x100', adjacent to a road and a supermarket parking lot) and that he had been unsuccessful. My wife checked the weather forecast for the next day and it showed heavy thunderstorms in the area. She convinced me to make the hour drive to the search area around 4pm today.
Once I got there I decided to concentrate on surface targets since the ring had been lost the day before. I tested a ring which I thought was tungsten (it wasn't) and got a distinct "double beep", 10/11 on the Nox. After eyeballing the area first but finding that the grass was too high and thick, I began detecting, taking out about 20 minutes to shoot the breeze with a friendly MD'r who stopped by to chat.
Luck was with me -- I got a clear 17 signal, no double beep, but something told me to check it further. I located the ring with my pinpointer. I think it had been stepped on and pushed into the surface.
I notified the owner and mailed it to him the next day. Very, very nice guy. I'm glad that I could help.
Cheers,
Devin
It's here somewhere

Hello John,
The owner came out and showed me the area where he thought he lost the ring while throwing a tarp over the chicken coop. Because there was so much metal in the immediate area, I thought I should try to eyeball it before resorting to the metal detector. On my second or third time around the perimeter of the coop I spotted it half-hidden under a leaf. I was too surprised to take an “in situ” photo, so I replaced it near its original location.
Regards,Devin

Lost Wedding Ring found November 2020:
(Lost Item #3063)
John,
Chrissy indicated her husband was pulling bulbs in the garden and lost the ring somewhere in the garden bed or when removing the trash. I started searching in the yard and didn't have any luck so I started searching the garden. The second signal there I found it a couple of inches down in the tilled dirt.

Lost Ring found October 2020:
(Lost Item #3038)
I drove up to College Station to try to find this man's ring. I got the report info, contacted him and we met. After a 2 and a half hour search, I finally found it with my pin pointer near the bar of a lamppost at center court of the volleyball court.
He was very happy!

Lost Ring found August 2020:
(Lost Item #3027)
The ring was sitting on a ball cap on the sand, and when Ian put his cap back on he had forgotten about it being there.
It only took a few minutes to find it.
The picture is of Ian and his friend Levi.
