Platinum wedding band found in Denver, Colorado yard

October 21st, 2011 by

Mark very happy to be holding his ring once again

Mark Rubinstein was hanging out in his back yard having a couple of brews with a buddy on a cool September evening. Guys being guys they ended up in a friendly slapping match, the kind where it is all fun and games till somebody loses their wedding ring. The pair searched in earnest that evening trying to find Mark’s platinum wedding band without any luck. The next day mark searched the area one more time on his hands and knees pulling the grass apart and visuallysearching, again no luck. A couple of weeks went by with sporadic but intense searches yet still the searches were fruitless.

Mark sent me an email regarding my services and explained that the ring was lost in him back yard. I assured him that if the ring was truly in his back yard I stood a very good chance of recovering it. But I also made no promises about the rings recovery as I have made searches that were not successful.

Another week went by and I did not hear from Mark so I sent him another email and also left him a message on his cell phone.  After a couple more days Mark sent me an email and we arranged for me to come to look for his ring the following day at 1:00 pm.

I arrived at the address Mark gave me at the prescribed time, Mark was in his car taking care of some business on his cell phone. He showed me to the back yard and explained what had occurred the night that he lost his wedding ring. I readied my Whites XLT with my Bigfoot coil and prepared to search.

Mark needed to take care of a bit more business so he excused himself and left me to my search. Within 10 minutes of starting I had recovered Mark’s ring. The ring was well hidden by the grass and not visible to the naked eye, but the ring was quite visible to a metal detector. By the time Mark made his way back I had already taken close-up photos of his ring and was just hanging out on the deck.

Mark was elated that I had found his ring as he thought that it could possibly be gone for good.

Ring recovered October 21, 2011.

Found, Lost platinum wedding ring in West Vancouver

I received a call from a young man that owns a landscaping company here in West Vancouver.  He said that he’d lost his platinum wedding ring of ten years some where in his clients back yard.

He rented a metal detector and searched with 4 of his employees for over 4 hours but didn’t find the ring. He then went on his smart phone and found ”The Ring Finders” (That is a smart phone!)

We made arrangements to me meet later in the day, when I arrived he showed me the area he believed the ring was lost in and I began my search. Only minutes later I found his wedding band, needless to say he was excited but couldn’t understand why he couldn’t find it as he and his employees were searching for hours in the same location…

 

I have had close to 70% of the people who hire me rent metal detectors first and after searching for hours give up the search and call me. My equipment is much better then the ones they rent and also it could be a little overwhelming for the person who has never used a metal detector.

Every ring has a story and it’s always a great feeling to help continue that story for the people I help.

Thanks for reading my blog!

If you have lost something and need help finding it please call me ASAP!

 

I love My Job!

Ring found in yard near Longmont, Colorado

July 1st, 2011 by

Marshall Lipps lost his platinum wedding ring while doing yard work in the spring.  He had trimmed some ornamental grasses and bushes and taken the clippings to a composting pile towards the back of the property. Since they live on a small acreage the ring could have been along a sizable path or someplace not thought of. Marshall even went to a rental place and rented a metal detector twice in an attempt to recover his ring. But he was not able to locate the ring using the rental detector.

Marshall then came upon the “Ring Finders” site and contacted me to assist in the search for his ring. By now it had been three weeks since he had lost his ring. Marshall and I walked the area where he was working and talked about what it was he was doing along with a demonstration of his actions.

I set out the search for Marshall’s ring searching the area of the ornamental grasses and the path to the compost pile. I ended up finding it near the compost pile but in an area that wasn’t expected as he didn’t recall being quite that far to the side of the pile. Marshall was happy to see his ring, but his wife was even happier.

Ring recovered on Mar 20, 2011.

Marshall reunited with his ring

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!

 

Update – Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Billericay Essex – Not Found

April 4th, 2011 by

Well despite my best efforts and grid searching an enormous lawn for 11 hours, (over 3 sessions). I failed find the lost platinum wedding ring mentioned in my earlier post.

The most annoying thing was that the person who had lost the ring KNEW it was there, as they had thrown it onto the lawn from an upstairs window during an argument with their wife. Unfortunately the area where it could have possibly landed had been mowed with a ride on lawn mower and I think it had been flicked by the mower blades somewhere inaccessible by me. Still at least they very kindly gave me a donation for the Alzheimer’s Disease Society despite me being unsuccessful in my efforts.

Next week I am searching a compost heap in Bristol for a lost gold wedding band — watch this space !

Lost Wedding Ring Retrieved From Community Pond in Northern Virginia!

February 27th, 2011 by

On 2/21/11, I was contacted by a woman named Susan about her recently lost wedding ring.  She told me how she was at her neighborhood park the day beforer and when she went to throw some bread crumbs to the geese in the pond….you guessed it, off flew her wedding band! We made arrangements to meet and a few days later I found myself at the edge of a well maintained pond in a beautiful community. Immediately I slipped into my waders and got to work. After fifty minutes, 3 old cans, a beat up minnow trap and  a coax cable connector, I hit pay dirt!

Back where it belongs!

The look on Susan’s face was one of amazement and joy.  By contacting me quickly and taking note of exactly where she was when the ring came off, Susan made my job that much easier. Being able to return something that is so precious to someone sure is a great feeling!

Success!

Lost platinum ring has been found at Mullaloo beach, Perth

January 21st, 2011 by

George contacted me recently via TheRingFinders directory. He had just lost his large platinum wedding ring in the shallow waters of Mullaloo, a popular Perth beach.
George actually felt the heavy ring slide off his finger but to his credit he did a great job in using some beach landmarks to reference the area.

George is from Scotland and is currently on his honeymoon in Perth so the loss of his ring at the end of his holiday was very disappointing. He and his wife are due to fly home today with George thinking that his ring would be enjoying an extended stay at the beach.
The real problem was the shallow area was the “wave zone” with constant waves and white water crashing and surging up the beach and then draining back out to sea with just as much force. I knew this hunt would be a challenge and real determination and patience was the order of the day.

I hit the beach early yesterday morning and started gridding the area as best I could. The constant 2 foot waves and white water along with all that stirred up sand made the going really tough. I have hunted in conditions like this before and got rewarded with a steel scoop to the back of the head and a detector shaft that was nearly bent in half. I conceded defeat today as the swell just wouldn’t back off and gridding 100% was futile. I had checked the internet before hunting and saw that the conditions were going to improve by Friday so I decided to temporarily abandon the hunt.

The following morning saw me back at the beach at daybreak with a strong desire to scoop up this ring one way or another. Fortunately the swell had dropped significantly so I decided to hit the same area again but started out deeper in case the backwash had sucked the ring into a small offshore “gutter”. I managed to quickly find a couple of coins and a silver ring so I was really confident I was on the right trail. My next signal was quite strong and in between the small waves I managed to scoop up something that made a nice clunk in the bottom of my scoop. After the sand had melted away, there lay George’s honker of a platinum ring….finally all of that effort had paid off.

I have just called George with the good news. The long flight back to Scotland might just feel okay, now that the ring will be back on his finger.

Great to meet you and family George…..keep that ring safe in chilly Glasgow.

Regards,
Tony.

George’s platinum wedding ring….FOUND !!

Found…Platinum/White gold wedding ring at Port Beach, Perth

December 28th, 2010 by

I received a call from Chris who had recently lost his platinum and white gold ring at Port Beach, which is right next to the entrance of Fremantle harbour, here in Perth, Western Australia. I was working at the time but told him that I would be in the water within 48 hours !

Conditions were okay with just a bit of swell moving into the shallows. As always, covering a search area with 100% certainty is still a hard thing to do but Chris was confident he had a fairly tight search area where he believed his ring slipped off.

I started in the shallows and planned to work gradually deeper. Chris thought it might be in about waist deep water. The first couple of hours revealed a few $1 coins and the plentiful beer caps which I really hate unless they come directly from me !

At the 2 hour mark of hunting, I managed a nice weak but smooth signal. I sunk the steel scoop into the hard seafloor and wrestled it to the surface…sure enough, after the sand had melted away, there lay a big and heavy gold ring which hopefully was Chris’s. To the joy of Chris and his wife, the ring was indeed his. I never tire of seeing the happiness on people’s faces when they are reunited with what was almost lost forever.

Thanks Chris for the bear hug and the reward. I’m thrilled that today was a successful hunt !

Take care and regards,

Tony.

Lost platinum wedding band in the snow… B.C.I.T, Burnaby

November 25th, 2010 by

Wedding band lost in the snow

It snowed pretty hard today and I was running around with my wife getting some stuff read for work next week,  I got a call from a young man that had lost his  platinum wedding band in the snow at B.C.I.T (British Columbia Institute of Technology)

He told me that he had a good area were he believed his ring came off,  also that 5  people had  stopped to help him search for his lost ring for close to one hour, with no luck.

We made plans to meet and search for the ring and we met an hour later.  I started the grid search and 10 minutes into the search I asked him if he could get a ring out of my truck so we could do a test with it.

Just as he was going to the truck I received a good signal and kicked the snow to see his wedding band looking back up at me!

Thick Platinum Ring Lost in Snow

Needles to say he was very happy to see his ring,  it only took 10 minutes  to find it and he was in a bit of a rush to pick up his daughter from school, so it worked out well.

He was a very nice young man and I was very happy to help him find his wedding band of 6 years…

I love my Job!

Lost something in the snow?

Call me ASAP
