The Ring Finders
Metal Detecting Service Inc.

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
