Lost platinum wedding ring recovered! Fort Meade, Maryland.
This is my 2nd recovery in 2011 so far….and I’m 2 for 2! I’ll let Jeff P. tell the story. Thanks for checking out my page!
In May 2011, my platinum wedding band came off during a soccer game. I knew I had it on at the beginning of the game and realized midway through the second half that it had come off. I thought back and suspected that it flew off during a throwin, but had no idea where on the field it had fallen. The field is a very large area, approx.100×75, so I thought it was a lost cause.
After the game, I went home and began researching metal detectors with the intention of renting one and searching for it myself. I was surprised to find the RingFinders.com community and decided to contact Jim Wagner. Jim returned my email and within 2 hours, we were out on the field looking for the ring. After only 40 minutes of searching, Jim found my ring! What a feeling of relief! My wife was out there with us and she was thrilled. Thanks, Jim!

Yours truly and a VERY happy Jeff P!
Lost wedding band Cape Cod – Found & Returned by Cape Cod team
Rick and Eleanor,
Maureen and I just wanted to send you this note to thank you so very much for the great thing you did for us yesterday. We were so distraught over the loss of our wedding ring that we didn’t know what to do. Even though we knew the ring was in our home, we were at wit’s end on how to actually find it.
Your patience, attention to detail and methodology is what made finding our ring possible. I don’t know how many times I had searched the same area where the ring wound up being. Your detection equipment certainly eliminated where it was not, which finally led to where it was!
You were both so conscientious and your calming presence made us both feel that everything was going to be OK.
Again, our most heartfelt thanks goes to you and the whole community behind TheRingFinders.com. What a wonderful service you provide.
Sincerely,
Steve & Maureen
Lost Ring… Found In Iowa City, Iowa
Hello Everyone,
I’ve been watching Chris Turner videos for awhile now and they always made me feel good. So I decided to take the plunge and join his Ring Finder site. I was a bit skeptical going in because I thought who would ever see this site and then give me a call. Well I joined on Jan. 28, 2011 and got my first call five short days later on Feb. 2nd. Needless to say I was very surprised.
I live in the eastern part of Iowa and we had a blizzard on Feb. 1st which dumped 12 to 14 inches of new snow. On Feb. 2nd I received a call from a young fella who lost his palladium wedding band during the storm. He said he had a good idea where it fell off at. So we agreed to meet the next day after I got off work.
I arrived the next day at 4:15 p.m. and met with his wife who showed me the area where his ring fell off his finger. Talking to her I found out they had only been married 7 months so this was a very sentimental ring to them. The snow was super deep and I wasn’t getting any signals. I had the discrimination on my detector wide open except for iron. I wasn’t sure where palladium would hit on the E-Trac but I was hoping it would be on the 12 line. I finally went over a target but it didn’t sound very good or look good. I dug down to the ground and it was deeper still so I knew that couldn’t be it. The next signal I got was just a whisper but it made me stop and investigate. I dug a couple of scoops with my shovel and it started to sound a little better, a few more scoops and wow there’s something here. I then had the target on top of the snow. I took my glove off and reached down into the snow and I could feel a ring! When I pulled it out and handed it to his wife her eyes got really big, I think she was stunned for a few seconds.
Her husband arrived a short time later and was very happy. He slipped the ring back on his finger as soon as he could. He told me that they had rented a detector and tried to find it themselves but the rental didn’t work very well. He said he wished he would have found the Ring Finders site before he wasted money on the bogus rental.
I must say that they were a very nice young couple and I was so happy I could help them. I know they truly appreciated it. I’ve found rings for people before but this was also special for me. My first success as a Ring Finder! Now I know why Chris loves his job.
HH everyone,
Norm Slaymaker
Thank you Chris Turner and Nuttal Enterprises/ Merci a Chris Turner et Les entreprises Nuttal
First of all, I would like to thank Chris at The Ring Finders for for starting an extraordinary team. I have always loved helping people. When I found The Ring Finders online I realized that I was going to be able to put my favorite hobby of metal detecting to use by helping people find their lost items. This was a dream come true ! I said to myself, this is where I need to be and want to do ! The first thing I did was get the information from Chris, join the Ring Finders and became a member. I started giving myself at 110% by going out there and offering my services. Chris gave me tools and advice on how to get started. I followed everything he thought me. Well, it paid off ! For my first year I became the finder of the year and won a 48” long handle scoop from Nuttal Enterprises !! This wonderful gift will come in handy when searching for rings. I want to Thank Chris Turner from The Ring Finders and the owner of Nuttal Enterprises for the long handle scoop. I am honored and extremely happy to be a member of The Ring Finders, and plan on staying a member for a very long time. Happy Holidays everyone and wish you a great 2011 search season. Thank You !
Tout d’abord, je tiens à remercier Chris Turner, créateur des Ring Finders pour le démarrage d’une équipe extraordinaire. J’ai toujours aimé aider les gens. Quand j’ai trouvé son site Internet, j’ai vite compris que j’allais finalement mettre mon passe-temps favori de détecteur de métal en valeur en aidant les gens à trouver leurs bijoux perdus. C’était un rêve devenu réalité! Je me suis dit, c’est là que j’ai besoin d’être. La première chose que j’ai faite a été d’obtenir l’information de Chris pour devenir membre des Ring Finders. J’ai tout de suite commencé à me donner à 110% en offrant mes services. Chris m’a donné des outils et des conseils sur la façon de démarrer. Je les ai suivies à la lettre. Eh bien, ça l’a porté fruit ! Pour ma première année en tant que membre, j’ai décroché le titre de chercheur de l’année et a remporté une passoire à sable muni d’un manche de 48” de long des entreprises Nuttal ! Ce merveilleux cadeau me sera utile lors des recherches futures. Je tiens à remercier Chris Turner des Finders Ring ainsi que le propriétaire des entreprises Nuttal. Je suis honoré et très heureux de faire parti de votre équipe et je prévois y rester pour très longtemps. Joyeuses fêtes à tous et je vous souhaite une excellente saison de recherches 2011 !!!!!

Lost SigNet Ring Found In Delray Beach, FL Park and Reunited with owner
Words cannot describe the happiness when one is reunited with their lost ring
On Decemember 5th, 2010 I received this phone call from a guy who lost his ring playing football at the park with his friends. I was just arriving home from a camping trip when I called him back. He told me his story and I said I would call him back with a time that I could meet him out there. I had not even had a chance to put my gear away. Within minutes, I had called Andrew and was in transit to Delray Beach to find his lost ring. My hunting partner and I searched the field where the ring was lost for a little more than five hours before it was pitch black outside. Andrew had mentioned to me that he had somewhere to be and asked if he could leave now and I assured him that we would not be giving up that easily and if it was found tonight, I would call him so he could come back. We stayed another 30-40 minutes hunting in the blackness of night until I later unearthed his ring from the ground. I called Andrew to let him know that we had found his ring and he was in disbelief! I had described the ring I was holding and he met us back at the park to claim his ring. Andrew was so excited to have his ring back!

Found: Lost Sweet Sixteen Watch on San Francisco Beach
Abbey and her friends enjoyed Baker Beach in San Francisco until after dark last Wednesday night. Then she discovered her Cartier watch, a Sweet Sixteen gift from her parents, was missing. The whole group used their cell phones as flashlights, but they couldn’t find it.
We met Abbey at the beach this afternoon. She and her friend Madeline had already marked where they thought the blanket had been. They did a good job-it took us less than 20 minutes to find the watch, about ten feet away. Check out the YouTube video-Abbey was pretty happy!
P.S. That’s the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. See the next posting-we also recovered a missing platinum ring in Marin County on the other side of the bridge today-that’s two big recoveries in one day.
See the comments for Abbey’s follow-up note.
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.

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
