Lost white gold ring “bubbles” has been found in Perth park
Vicky called me a couple of days ago asking for help to find her white gold ring that she thought was lost at her local park and playground. The ring was a wide band with a nice “bubble” design stamped onto the outside of the ring. Quite a few people had searched the area but unfortunately the ring was no where to be seen. They had also put a notice up in case anyone had picked up the ring.
I spent about 30 minutes detecting the thicker grassed areas, whilst eyeballing the flatter ground but was only rewarded with 5 cent coins. There was a small sand play area that I also hunted but it was clear of signals so I moved back towards the grassed areas but still no luck. In the mean time, Vicky’s Mum continued to look for the ring by scouting the ground.
Because the area was generally flattened grass, the ring should be easy to spot by eye but this was assuming that no one else had pocketed the gold ring.
I decided that I would check the sandpit again so I ran the search coil closer to the stone wall this time and quickly got a nice solid beep from the machine…..expecting another 5 cent coin, I was thrilled to see the glint of a silver/white gold ring with the “bubbles” etched into the ring.
I casually wandered back to where Vicky’s Mum was still scouring the grass and informed her “I just don’t think you will find it there…..because…..of this” and I opened my hand to reveal the ring in the palm of my hand. I really enjoy that part !!!
Thanks for contacting me and it was great to have another successful hunt.
All the best,
Tony.
Lost diamond ring has been found, South Beach, Perth
Ki contacted me recently via TheRingFinders as she had lost a very sentimental ring that had belonged to her Mum. Ki was kind enough to include a quick story of how the ring was lost as well as some nice photo’s. Here is what she wrote……
“The story behind the ring is that it was my mother’s engagement ring. Sadly mum passed away 15 years ago, when I was 13 years old. Dad’s been looking after the rings until about 2 years ago when he passed them onto me. I was too scared to wear them for the first 6 months and just kept them in a safe place.
After work on Tues went down to the beach for just a quick jump in the ocean, meant to take her rings off but forgot. Figured I would be careful and not swim around too much… Didn’t count on the dog knocking them off!
Pandora (the dog), loves to swim, but also always wants to be picked up in the water. She’s a flat coat retriever so it’s a bit of an effort. When she launched herself off me the ring got scraped off and went straight to the bottom. I was looking and looking, about 6 other people were helping, stayed in till sunset so it was probably about an hour, and then Tim went back the next day for another 2 hours.
Found you by googling ‘Underwater Metal Detectors’…
Had no idea there was such a service as yours. We thought we were going to have to figure out how to do it ourselves.
But then you came and managed to find it so quickly. I still can’t believe I have it back. I am so incredibly grateful. Makes her ring even more special!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!”
Thank you Ki for contacting me…it was great to see that ring back on your finger !
All the best for the future,
Tony.
Sydney Metal Detector Man Recovers Lost Wedding Ring
Last night I received a call from Jason, who lost his wedding ring while swimming at Red Leaf Beach. Redleaf is a netted harbour beach at Double Bay in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. Jason was not sure of the exact location the ring slipped off his finger, so we both knew this would be a very difficult recovery. I met Jason at Redleaf beach at 6:30 am this morning, and began the underwater search. When unsure of the location the ring slipped off, all I can really do is cover as much surface area as possible before my tank runs out of air, or I start getting too cold. So with my underwater metal detector and 10 meter long rope as a guide, I began a slow search back and forth for Jason’s lost wedding ring. After about 2 hours of searching, things we’re not looking promising. I had recovered the usual coins, bottle caps and a ladies ring…but not Jason’s wedding band. After another conversation with Jason, we decided to shift positions. I only had about another 30minutes left in me due to low air, and drop in body temperature. About another 20 minutes of searching in the new position and almost giving up hope, I fanned out a signal which turned out to be a white gold wedding band. I was praying that this was Jason’s wedding ring! I called him over to have a look, he looked at it for a second and then his face lit up. I had definitely found the right ring. We we’re both mentally prepared for the possibility of not recovering the ring, so as you can imagine we we’re feeling pretty damn good to have it back! Jason, it was a pleasure meeting you… and thank you kindly for a generous reward. This certainly was a lucky day.
