Hello fellow hunters. I am also part of detecting site that people can contact me if they lose something. Well after being registered for a while I finally got my first help request. Problem is it is in 3 feet of water. She said she was a teacher and lost them on a field trip at the end of May. I know this is quite a while to be found. Could have been found already, washed out even deeper. But she said it was an engagement ring and band. My problem, other than the weather that is coming is my Ace 250 is not the best for 3 feet of water. Wondering if anybody else could help. She said it was at Lake Kiowa, between Collinsville and Gainsville. I told her I would ask here to see if we could help. Let me know and I can give you the details and contact info. Thanks, Mark

You might want to contact Txconnection. I know he has found lost rings under water before. He is in the Forum.

Extend out the shaft and make a small center section! I have thought about doing this for my ACE just for a project.

I have used mine in 2-3' of water and found jewelry many times but its just very easy to get the unit wet when you are that deep.

Good luck

Does it have much wave movement or rivers feeding it close by?


It would be really cool to find it for her and I hope you guys get a chance to check it out.

I hope it lightens up for you so you can get some hunting time in soon, There are some pretty old places around your area.

I have a couple underwater detectors, but live in South Texas and have no idea where Lake Kiowa is so I would bet it isn't within a couple hundred miles from me. I travel throughout South Texas though, and if I can help out down here anytime...drop me an e-mail. Dug this Virginia token yesterday in Corpus...it's a looong way from home.

Tokens are always cool to find. That one is a long ways from home for sure.

I found a flattened penny from the Seattle Space needle in my local creek. Just cool to think about its travels -
