I’ve always thought about getting a metal detector. How do I get started? I hear these things all the time when I tell people about my hobby. There is now a website that can answer all of the questions for anyone who is interested in metal detecting.

I was surfing the internet and came across this story. Another metal detectorist (Leon Jones) found a USA Olympic ring and researched who the owner was. Made contact and returned the ring.

It was a USA Olympic Curling ring. This is a quote from John Landsteiner (the true owner of the ring) “The coolest thing about this whole thing is he had the honesty and integrity to try find me and return it”.
A big SHOUT OUT to Leon Jones for putting the hobby of metal detecting in a positive spotlight for the work to see!!

The Philadelphia ABC affiliate 6ABC did a story on the ring I found earlier in the week. That was the “Ocean Tried To Claim Another Wedding Ring” post.
Here is a link to a copy of the story that aired on Friday, August 10 at 4pm & 5pm, click here. This is the second time the press has done a story on one of my recoveries in 1 months time. In July there was an article in the SandPaper, a local paper on Long Beach Island.
I guess that my 15 minutes of fame are almost up…
This week I had another successful recovery. I was able to help another 1st responder. You can read the full story here: Most recent recovery
Typical story for beach losses. He put suntan lotion on, enters the water with slippery hands, cold water shrinks his fingers and while playing with his son in rough water the ring flies off.
His wife posted the loss to her friends on Facebook. A friend of hers referred me. I went down at night to make the recovery. I was able to pull the ring from the grips of Davey Jone’s Locker.
