Lost Ring at Strawberry: Found and Returned

Contact:

Lizzie was enjoying a 4×4 ride along a snowy dirt road in the hills above Strawberry Reservoir. When they tried to turn the truck around, it got stuck in the snow. A few minutes after working with the group to get the truck unstuck, she realized that her precious, valuable wedding ring with two large diamonds was gone. After freeing the truck, the group searched the snowy road but couldn’t find the ring. Finding a lost ring in the snow without a metal detector is very difficult. You can pick up a handful of snow with the ring in it, and never even see it. Lizzie called me, and I was able to come that night. It took 90 minutes to get there, 10 minutes to find the ring, and 90 minutes to get back home, but it is so rewarding to help people find their lost rings!

2xLOST, 100+yr OLD, WEDDING SET IN WILLOW SPRINGS, NC……FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

A friend of mine, Ray Mann, who is also a friend of Justin Wahrenburg, referred me to his neighbor whose wife had lost her wedding ring set in their backyard about a month ago. My friend Justin was actually my very first ring recovery I ever made as a member of “The Ring Finders.”

These rings were incredibly special — over 100 years old and originally purchased in Charlotte, North Carolina. Because of their age and history, they were truly irreplaceable in so many ways.

He contacted me, and I told him I could come out that same day to search for them.

After carefully scanning the entire backyard using a VDI range of 40–75 and not finding anything, I decided to adjust my settings to 35–65 and start again from the beginning. Within minutes, I got a signal reading VDI 37 and uncovered the first ring. About five feet away, I picked up another signal reading VDI 38 — the second ring!

Turns out I had simply missed them earlier because of my original settings.

Needless to say, the whole family was overjoyed. They had been praying and believing the rings would be found.

Her husband actually filmed the moment, and her reaction when the rings were returned was captured on video.

Moments like this are exactly why I love doing what I do — finding something so meaningful and getting it back where it belongs.

Metal detecting service finds lost ring in grass, Ocala Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



The very best metal detecting service in Central Florida is theringfinders.com! We can help you with all your metal detecting needs and lost item recovery needs as well. My name is Mike McInroe and I am here to help you in your time of need…call or text me anytime and let’s talk.

I received a frantic call from Fernando asking if I could possibly help him find his fiancee’s lost ring in a horse pasture in Ocala and if I could come right away. I asked a few questions to help determine the likelihood of actually being able to find her ring and he assured me that she dropped it somewhere in a 30 square foot area of grass, sand and leaves. Two hours later I met Fernando and his fiancee and they showed me the area where the ring was lost. (Fernando had purchased a cheap metal detector and spent a few hours digging in the dirt and had become quite frustrated with all the noise and energy spent and coming up with nothing to show in the end. They searched the internet for help and came across theringfinders.com and one of my recent recovery stories and decided to give me a call.)

It only took 10 minutes to cover the target area and I then began to expand my searching and I actually spotted the edge of the lost ring a few feet away. I motioned to Fernando to come take a look at what I found and he was so relieved and so very thankful! Fernando’s fiancees eyes were filled with tears as she gently put her lost ring back on her finger.

Have you lost a ring or something valuable recently or even years ago and need some expert advice and help? Call 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Craigslist find

  • from Mount Pleasant (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I was called by a lady that lost her wedding ring, but wasn’t quite sure where she lost it. One possible location was a park and the other was at an indoor soccer field. I searched the park’s playground and parking area with no luck. I went to the soccer complex with the lady and did some dumpster diving, as she thought it was possible that when she washed her hands in the bathroom she may have had the ring come off in paper towel and it got thrown away.This was a dead end too. I posted the ring on the town’s facebook page in case someone already found it, but there were no responses. One night while looking for any lost items in the area on Craigslist I saw a post from a lady stating that her husband found a wedding ring in the parking lot of the soccer field. I thought it just had to be the ring. I coordinated the communication with the two ladies and it ended up being the ring. It was a miracle. The lady that lost it was so upset when she lost it, but everything worked out perfectly.

Lost Ring Found at Apartment Complex in San Jose

  • from Santa Cruz (California, United States)
Contact:

Santosh called me for help searching for his fiance’s lost engagement ring which fell off her hand from a third story apartment into what Santosh suspected was the bushes below.  The area to search was quite small and we set a date to give it a shot.

When I arrived Santosh and his fiance showed me the area which was quite confined but covered in brush and had a wall of bushy vines behind it hanging on a metal trellis.  They described hearing the ring bounce once off their downstairs neighbor’s balcony railing and not hearing it again.  I began searching the area and it quickly became clear that there was a lot of trash in the spot and it was going to be difficult to isolate any small ring-like signals.  I needed to slow way down and even run a discrimination pattern to try to cut out some of the trash signals.  I did isolate and dig a couple of targets but was not having any luck.  We tried several different methods both with metal detector and just a pinpointer, digging everything out of the area that we could find.  I also searched the bushes on the wall behind the area they suspected their ring was.

Finally after about an hour and a half of this I asked whether they had searched their neighbor’s patio.  It turns out they did in fact search that patio so I asked if it was possible that the ring could be in some other area than where we were searching, perhaps still somewhere on the other patio.  I explained that in this confined of a space and with this much time and effort it was really starting to feel like the ring was not in the area we were searching.

Eventually after trying a bit more we agreed that it would be wise for them to check other locations, especially their neighbor’s patio again, and that if the ring did not turn up that I would be glad to come back the following week and try again.

Several days later I received a text from Santosh who said that they did in fact check with their neighbor again and found it sitting right on the patio in an area that they did not previously look!  Sometimes thoroughly ruling out one area can be valuable enough information that it eventually leads to a find.

Most lost rings at the beach happen because people wrap their rings in a towel or shirt and then later they forget about them.  That’s what happened in this case.  Luckily they didn’t walk away and I was able to come out and find it.

The pictures above show a recovery of a small gold and diamond earring.  She was very on vacation and had one of her earrings fall off as she was exiting the beach.  She called me late at night and I was able to meet her there early the next morning.  She knew the general area where she lost it.  After about 20 min of gridding the area it finally popped up:-)
