Lost Platinum wedding ring search in Danbury CT
On 1/12 i received a call from a man named Tim from Danbury ct who lost his platinum wedding ring while throwing his Christmas tree out.Tim told me he went out to the sporting good store and bought a metal detector and him and his wife spent 4 hours looking for the ring and could not find it.
The Danbury area was just hit with a massive snow storm that ended earlier in the day up to 27 inch’s of snow.So I head out a few min’s after i got the call. I Got over to Tim’s home around 9:10pm. Let’s just say the snow was deep over my knees good thing i brought my fishing waders with me.
Tim was not sure where the ring came off but was sure he had it on when he took the tree out. Tim throw the tree of the 2nd floor balcony so i started my search in the area around the balcony i could see where the tree landed and where he walk dragging the tree about 150 to 200 yards to the dumpster. I spent about 25 min’s grid searching the back area i was sure the ring was not in this area. Started to walk down the road scanning the snow bank along the side as we walked to the dumpster. Nothing there. We get to the area of the dumpster and Tim tells me there was a car parked in front to it and a truck to the other side so he only had a small area to walk trough to get to the dumpster. I could see where Tim and his wife had spent there time looking for it earlier there was a pile of snow that had been shoveled so that’s were i start to scan i sweep my coil over the pile 2 or 3 times and get i nice hit at about 6 inch’s stick my pin pointer down where the signal was to check it out. Scooped out a few scoops of snow and went at it with the pin pointer and there it was tims wedding band. Tim could not believe i found his ring not even a minute after getting to the dumpster area. You could say Time was excited to have his ring back as was his wife considering that ring has only been on times finger for 4 months.
Lost gold wedding band search in White Plains NY
Received a call today from a gentleman named Mike who lost his wedding band yesterday. Mike just cleaned the snow off his car and was starting to walk back in to his house and stop to brush snow of himself when his ring slipped off his finger and landed in a snow bank and pricker bush’s at the side of the driveway. Rearranged what I had to do today and headed out for the little over an hour drive. I get down there and do a perimeter sweep in front and behind the bush’s Mike had a real good idea of where he was standing when I came off. Spent about 15 min’s checking around the bush’s in the snow bank fond a wheel weight no ring so I was sure it wasn’t in that area it had to be in the bush’s. Started scanning the base of the bush’s not more the 20 seconds in I get a really nice loud tone vdi showing ring scooped out 2 scoops of snow from the spot then scaned the snow I took out the signal was in there. Looked in the snow and there it was looking back at us. Needless to say Mike was very happy.
Ring search New City NY
Receaved a phone call on mothers day from a woman that was cleaning up downed tree branchs and leaves from near the end of her drive way and lost her wedding band when she was throwing sticks over the bank. Make plans to go down today it was about an hour and 15 min drive from my home to there. I was shown the area where she thinks she was standing and start my search on the top of the bank this area has about a 10 foot drop that is covered with old leaves and limbs so i used my sons detector because it has a smaller coil so i could get in the rocks better with it. After close to an hour of searching and not finding it i decided to go up to my car and get out my detector with the larger coil. Ann and I walk up to my car and were talking on the walk back down the drive way when I see it.I stop walking bent over and say i found your ring. Ann’s ring was not lost in the woods it was laying right in the middle of the drive way near the road. She was so happy to have her ring back and i was happy to have found it for her. I did not take a smile picture but have a pic of the ring . No smile pick to keep her anonymous since her and her husband are pretty well known around new york he is an ex tv news anchor a major station.
Hi Jason, Thanks so much again for finding my wedding ring! The testimonial is below. Hope you and your family are well!
Take care,
ann
I will always be grateful to Jason for finding my wedding ring. I thought I had lost it forever.
He drove more than an hour to our house to look for my ring. He knew it was so important to me. He was determined to find it. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. I thought my ring was hidden in piles of leaves where I had tossed some tree branches. We searched for more than an hour with Jason using his metal detector. We found ancient pieces of metal and some nails and even a bobby pin but no ring. Then to my amazement, Jason noticed something. My wedding band! The ring was actually on the driveway behind the spot I had been standing. Jason found my wedding ring with his eyes, not his metal detector.
I’m so happy and would like to thank Jason and his great powers of observation!
Ring search Trenton NJ
After doing my first ring search on Feb 14th i finely get around to joining the ring finders site on march 13th not even 12 hours after joining i receive a email about a lost wedding ring in Trenton NJ. Trenton is a 2 and a half hour drive for me but since it was a wedding ring a would give it a go. I replied to the email and Jimmy the rings owner calls me and we set up a time for me to meet him the next day. I leave my house early the next morning to get down there. I get on the new york state thruway 45 minutes into my trip traffic comes to a dead stand still the thruway was closed due to flooding we had the night before a Major rain storm. So i give jimmy a call and let him know i will be running late do to this. well after sitting there for a little over 2 hours they finally get one lane open but i still had to drive throw 2 and a half feet of water. finally after a little over 5 hours i get to the meeting place. The ring was lost on the on ramp to US1 a major highway. Thew area where Jimmy thinks the ring went out his window was about 100 yards long by 10 feet wide not a big area BUT heavily covered in trees and brush and to make it worse the area looked like a dump for any and every thing you could think of. We were joined by two other detectoristsfrom the PA area a vary nice lady named Betty and a man named Tom they are members of the Mid-Jersey research and recovery metal detecting club. The are was so hard to swing are detector that i ended up just using my pro pointer to search. Jimmy and I were searching a small area after we did a test throw with a test ring to get an idea of how his ring would have traveled. Jimmy was about 15 feet from me looking in the high weeds and all of a sudden i hear him start yelling I FOUND IT! I FOUND IT. Let me just say he looked like he was going to pass out he was so happy to find his ring. so after the drive from hell the day was ended on a high note by him finding him ring. below i is an email he sent to Chris Turner about the day then after that one is an email he sent me.
Chris….
WE FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for your kindness, your responsiveness, and your offer to help because I know you didn’t have to. Beyond being “metal detectors,” people like you and Jason are good samaritansthat give people like me faith that there are people out there that choose to do nice things simply because it’s nice. Thank you for returning my emails and calls, for comforting me in my misery, and for reaching out to your community for me. Jason was an absolute ring finding superstar! He came from three hours away, through floodydangerous roads, and came prepared with information on how my ring would read on the detector and different theories about how it could have fallen. It was impressive. If ever there were a ring finding professional, he was it.
I am forever greatful to you, him, and the fact that I found you on the internet under “ring finders”.
Jimmy
For all of the misery of this weekend, the feeling of finding it was almost worth the losing it in the first place
Jason-
If ever there were a ring finding professional, you are it! Three hours away, through flooded roads, you still came. And when you came you came having put a ton of thought into my ring loss situation and fully prepared for the scenario. I am eternally grateful and happy to know there are people like you who do good things for other people they don’t even know just because it’s nice.
Having you out there on the freeway entrance ramp with me where I lost my ring gave me a peace of mind. Thanks again, God bless, and best of luck to you in the future.
Jimmy
My First ring search Bear mt. state park, Bear mountain NY
I found an lost and found ad posted by Chris Turner on a detecting forum i am on for a lost wedding ring about 45 mins from me. So i wrote to Chris asking about it Chris gave me a call and got all the details about it. But there was only one BIG problem Bear mt state park is illegal to hunt with a detector. I made a call to the administration office and asked about searching there for the lost ring and was granted permission to use my detector in a set area where the ring was lost. Then i call the owner of the ring MR. Kim. we set up to look for it the very next day valentines day. I get there a little before i am to meet with him so i can look around and to go get my permit for the hunt. MR. Kim meets me and we got to the area where he lost it. he lost it during a snow storm 5 day earlier. He was back to the spot a few time since he lost it to look he even went out and bought him own detector to look but was not able to find it. with in 5 minuts of us getting to the spot MR. Kim had his wedding ring back on his finger. this was my very first ring hunt and will always be one of my best detecting memories ever. To top it all of not only was it valentines day it was also the Chinese new years so his year had a GREAT start.
