Success Stories
Mrs Zorab Reunited With Her Lost 25th Wedding anniversary present watch
I received an email back in March when the UK was hit by the beast of the east weather asking for help as Mrs Zorab was out feeding the animals on their land and lost her watch.
The search was then delayed by the snow that took some time to thaw. On the 5th April Morley Howard and David Baker were on hand to offer to help the search.
Mrs Zorab had a printed map of their land that her husband printed off and explained what and where she was when she thought she lost the watch. Even after the snow had thawed, they searched themselves but to no avail. So after being informed of the areas where to search Dave (Manic Dev) and Morley (The Ferret) headed off to a large paddock. We thought that, as the grass was short and the watch has not been found, it could be under some loose hay. We walked the width of the field to the gate where the first hay was laid.
Just as we were about to enter the area where the hay was Morley turned to Dave to say something and noticed a bright reflection in the sun about 15 feet away. We then started to walk to this reflection and could see it was the lost watch.
We didn't even have time to start detecting and hurried back down to the farmhouse and knocked on the door, Morley was holding the watch; when Mrs Zorab came to the door she saw the watch and was lost for words and was most grateful.... She allowed us to carry on metal detecting afterwards.
Mrs Zorab and Morley are pictured above.

Jo returning the lost ring to Chris
Valentines Day Ring Recovery 2017
We received and email yesterday from Tim asking if we could be of any help as his wife Chris lost her mothers ring out in the field whilst chopping wood. The ring has so much sentimental value as it was his wife's mother's who lived to a good age of 104.
Jo and Morley were shown around the area where they thought it may be. After a couple of minutes of searching Jo managed to locate the lost ring using her Garrett AT-Pro metal detector. Tim was there to see the ring being found.
Tim and Chris made a very kind donation to The Cystic Fibrosis Trust via our justgiving page.

Mother In-law found under the patio
I received an email this morning (3 Sept 2016) from a couple that "lost their mother in-law"
“metal cannister with mother in law in it , was under a rose seem to have lost her, not a wind up!!! Help”
When I contacted them they said they have moved her twice before and due to having some building work they were eager to find her and relocate her resting place. They searched high and low but with no joy until the contacted us for help.
I turned up today armed with my new XP Deus Metal Detector.
Set the machine up in Gary's Hot Program and began to search the garden.
I walked over the flower bed and got a signal and seemed that the builders laid a patio over the top of her. Luckily we were able to dig from the side and recover her. (See Pictures below). Click pictures to enlarge.

Pamela now reunited with her wedding ring
I received an email just after midday from them asking if we be of any help as Pamela was doing some gardening on Saturday then later on in the day noticed that her cherished wedding ring was missing. Jo and I made arrangements to go and see them and within an hour after checking through cuttings, plant pots and flower beds I went to check the cuttings bag and again no joy there so decided to scan the gravel drive. There was a car parked on the drive and I was picking the car up with the metal detector but just as I was moving away I heard a Nice signal on my New Xp Deus. I took my pin pointer out and sifted some gravel and there it was. The joy on their faces was fantastic as they were reunited with the ring.

Lost Wedding Ring On Burnham on Sea Beach now reunited
I thought I'd pop down to our local beach here in Burnham on Sea. Lots of sand is starting to build up so older finds are getting harder to find.
Today I thought I'd have a couple of hours just wandering around. Managed to find around £5 in spends ::g
As I was heading towards the jetty on my way home a distressed chap came up to me and said "hi mate sorry to bother you but Iv'e been building sand castles with the kids and just noticed I have lost my wedding ring can you help :-/ I said that's luck you just caught me I was just going home sw;
He took me over to where he'd been building the castles. Problem being here is that the sea defence wall carries on down into the sand and I was picking this up. So I set the machine on minimum sensitivity as i didn't want to go to deep as the wall was giving me good signals.
Well I searched the area where he'd been building the castles to no avail.. Ho well he said don't worry if you can't find it .... But I asked if he'd been play ball etc that the ring might have came of elsewhere. Nope he said just around here.... So I thought I'd do a wider scan and a couple of minutes later A nice signal and with a sweep of the hand over the sand It was there :-O
His wife and little kids were jumping for joy when the dad was reunited with his wedding ring. the guy was so very grateful and offered me reward but I declined and said the look on your face and seeing your wife and kids so happy That is my reward
I gave him my calling card and asked his permission for a photo which he was all to happy to do so, BUT I forgot my camera and had to use my phone
Happy Easter 2014 Holidays

Founder Of the SAS Club Reuniting the Ring
Lost Ring Reunited 14th July 2014
I received a phone call last night from a lady who one of her guests staying with her lost her engagement ring whilst attending her son's wedding function. So Phoenix and myself drove over this morning to be greeted by the couple that lost the ring. They were staying at B&B nearby and were due to go home to Surrey today. We followed them from the B&B for a couple of miles to the farm where they held the big day. They informed us it was lost in this field somewhere around there. On the day they had a big marquee with dance floor, bar and toilets etc. It looked like a big do they had. Well we were asked to start around the area where the dance floor was. Off we went and a couple seconds later I saw a shiny glint in the sunlight Could it be No It was some small shiny confetti stars that was all over the place.... Anyway the dance floor area was scan and only a few bottles tops to show. We then moved over to near where the bar was 15 mins later a sweet signal A recent button carried on for another 5 mins The AT-PRO gave a sweet signal showing a surface target...... I bend down and part the grass away and BINGO there it was lying in the sunlight shining brightly.... I shouts YES and hold it in the air.... The picture joy on the couples faces were out of this world. She said that they spent all day on their hands and knees around there looking for it too.
They offered us reward in which we declined, "nope the look on your faces is our reward" I said.
The gentleman offered to pay for the petrol and we said that they can donate it through our website To Just giving for Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
I love this Hobby
The ring now back where it belongs...
Happy Days
Morley handing over the lost ring
Lost Ring Reunited 16th July 2014
I received an email from a lady asking if we could help as her husband was working out on the farm last year in the snow and managed to lose his wedding ring. This was handed down from his mother and was keen to find it. The gentleman was not around to show me the location so his wife took me over to the field and explained what he was doing and where about they think it could be.
Off I went with the Faithful AT-Pro. There was a couple of rows of cages where some of the structure was giving me some false readings due to the metals around. So I lowered the sensitivity alot and this enabled me to get closer to them without the falsing. Ding a nice target 5cm down. Took the trowel out and dug a plug only to find a nut and bolt. Well about an hour later Another good signal quite close to the hutch, the target was reading 5cm deep again. I reached for the probe and scanned the grass it's near the surface and thought could it be I parted the grass and noticed the the ring had been driven over by a vehicle and pushed into the soil.
YES BINGO I said to myself....Chuffed to bits feeling on top of the world I walked back down to the farm house with a big smile on my face. The lady came out and I held up the ring "OMG Thank you so much hubby will be over the moon when I tell him" she said. They offered a kind reward and I declined and said if they wish to they can make a donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust via our website.
Another great day to remember :-) Below is a picture of the ring still in the ground.
