METAL DETECTOR FINDS GOLD RING LOST FOR 12 YEARS - RETURNED!
Nov 8, 2026
Finding a gold ring with the Etrac.
Having never found gold with the Etrac, I was unsure if this ring was real even though it hit where rings are expected to show on the screen.
As there were no hallmarks I assumed that the ring was not real gold but it obviously was is as explained in the video.
Hopefully there will be more finds like this in the future.

I must have been filming from a bad angle as I'm not that fat in real life - must have been the iphone in my pocket - looks as if I'm pitching a tent.
lol
There's actually a few names carved in the trees here.
That means people have been here at some point.
This is a good signal.
They're reading, I think it was 1219.
I have found coins along here,
so I'm kind of hoping it's a little threepenny bit or something.
It says it isn't deep, but it may well be deep.
Yeah.
Oh!
Well, I would like to think
that this is real,
but I doubt it is.
And I can't see any hallmarks.
You got me excited there for a minute.
Nah.
Can't see any hallmarks,
so I'm just presuming that that isn't real gold.
I'd like to think it was gold,
though, because I've never found anything gold.
I suppose it was reading where gold is meant to read,
but seeing as I've never found any, I wouldn't know for sure.
It certainly looks very new, in very good condition.
This is just a very quick update on the ring that I found.
I cleaned it up, and the ring still has a little bit of weight to it.
When I was actually driving back home,
I phoned the people that own the house.
Because I knew that the woman that owns the house
and the land had actually lost her ring.
I didn't think it would be anything like
this so I just assumed this would be a bit of costume
jewellery or something because of the size of it.
But she described it exactly like this
and this is actually her ring so I'm gonna take it back.
I have had a few attempts
at finding it but obviously managed it this time. Very pleased indeed.
And the reason it won't be hallmarked, I'll tell you for why.
My brother was a jeweller.
Right.
And one of his suppliers brought...
Two rings from Spain,
so it'll be Spanish gold and there won't be any hallmarks on it.
I looked, I couldn't see a hallmark
No, you won't. And I saw the size of the stone and I thought
nah that can't be real, so I just chucked it
in my pocket with the rest of the stones.
Well it's a semi-precious stone, it's what it's called a blue topaz.
Is that it? Oh that's good.
That's good.
Oh fantastic.
I have no idea. I have no idea.
This is the very first thing that Duncan bought me.
And I lost it, so it's been missing at least 12 years.
12 years? No, no, no.
Listen, you've got...
Actually, I'll take that, because I'll...
I'll give that to Cain, but no, no, no.
Give it to Cain.
No, honestly, no, I'm not having that.
Oh, my God.
Well, that's felt mighty good.
Missing for 12 years and returned excellent.
