A fellow in western Maryland buried 4) 4-inch x 18-inch PVC pipes filled to the brim with .999 pure silver eagle coins and ingots. When he wanted to dig them up a year later, he had no map and could find only three. It drove him crazy. He appealed to the Maryland Free-State Treasure Club for help. A small team from our club drove out to meet him. Within an hour Darryl Fallis detected the pipe much to the landowners delight, and ours - the brush behind us was the target area and the incline was 45-degrees.

Traveled to Gaithersburg, MD to search for a ring - 18K gold ring with diamonds dropped by mistake from a balcony. Using a chatty and noisy Fisher F-75 around EMI and cement with rebar, it took several attempts searching in 6-inches of snow and in shrubs. The final attempt, after changing frequency, Brad got an 18-20 readout which was promising. He dug out an ice block where the pinpointer sounded off. Success! The ring fell out.

While searching for lost items at the Catonsvill High School after the previous night's fireworks, Bud found some car keys and door opener which had a discount code for a store attached. Bud called the store, gave the code and his personal cell number. The store contacted the customer and gave Bud's number. Bud and the customer got togerther at a Walmart where the keys were returned.

A terrible house fire in Essex Maryland. A mad-at-the-world devient firebomed his neighbor's house and burned it mostly down. Bill Hill, a friend of the victim's relative, and Leo Pollock were called upon to search through the ashes for heirlooms and valuables that might have survivied the conflagration.
   
Gary Pennington 11-22-13 - Lost wedding ring, Ricardo Da Silva, NE Washington, DC
I was raking and pickin up leafs in my yard, and had come inside to shower. Soon thereafter, I realized that my wedding band was missing. The ring has significant sentimental value to me, as it was my father's band, who had passed away when I was 7 years old. This was one of the few items that connected me to him. My wife and I picked through a bag of leafs, handful by handful, twice, but it wasn't to be found. I searched throughout the yard, getting on my hands knees, but again to no avail. I was pretty distraught at the thought of having lost the ring. This is when I reached out to Gary at the Maryland Free-State Treasure Club. He offered to come by and look for the ring on a Saturday morning. True to his word, Gary and a colleague appeared, and began to work in the yard. Within 10 minutes of their search, I head a knock at my door. My ring had been found. My appreciation and gratitude to these gentleman is without measure.
Thank you, Ricardo

My nieces and I found an Archbishop Curley Class ring ('79) last month and we were able to track down the owner (he lost it around 79-80 while he worked for the county grooming the fields).

Bud Lamb was in the Catonsville area when someone overheard him talking about metal detecting. The woman who overheard him requested that he search for a family heirloom ring that her granddaughter lost years prior on a property that dates back to 1695. Bud recovered the ring and posed for a photo.
