LOST JEWELRY & COIN COLLECTION IN PALISADES FIRE FOUND & RETURNED.

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

 

I got a call from Scott who lost his home and all the family’s possessions about two weeks ago to see if I could help him find his wife’s jewelry and his coin collection. Today was one of the first days that the property owners were allowed back to the Palisades since the fire began on January 7th. We met in Santa Monica. When I followed him into the first national guard checkpoint on PCH in the Palisades then had to go to through another sheriffs  checkpoint and wait one hour for an escort to the fired zone. After a quick explanation of the lost valuables I put on my protective gear and began the search with in two hours of sifting through the ash and debris I found at least 200 silver coins, then we moved on to search for his wife’s jewelry but the debris was larger and had to be tossed aside before I could start sifting again, within 45 mins time frame I found over 25 pieces of Scott’s wife’s jewelry consisting of rings, bracelets, chains, brooches, earings and a couple of jade pendants. Luckily I was able to use my 30 years of experience with fire recovery to help this nice but devastated family be reunited with some of their family heirlooms.

Ring Lost While Sledding: Recovered by Rob Ellis, Fairfax, VA.

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

It was the first time Eugenio had seen snow. His wife and another couple decided to have some fun sledding on the Fairfax George Mason Campus. At some point, Eugenio noticed his platinum and gold wedding band was missing. He contacted me and the next day we set up a search. Eugenio got permission from the GMU police, and we met at the campus station. The short drive to the hill and walk to the sledding area seemed much longer because it was only 30 degrees Fahrenheit! I wanted to search for the ring before more sledders arrived and the ring was pushed deeper into the muck.

The hill had three sides the couples used for sledding. Metal detecting up and down the slopes was challenging, and the cold wind was brutal. I could sense Eugenio’s despair that we might not find his ring. Finally, at the base of the last search area, I heard a beautiful sounding target with my Equinox 900. I scrapped down a couple of inches to confirm and then called Eugenio over to pick up his beautiful ring.

Found Here!

IPhone lost in Snow in Philadelphia, PA….Found and Returned!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

After the largest snow storm of the year dumped 6 inches of snow in Philadelphia this week…Adeep ventured out to have some fun in the deep snow drifts around his University City apartment. Unfortunately his Iphone slipped out of his pocket while playing around. His “find my iphone” app got him close to the location of the lost phone but it was clearly under the snow somewhere! He found me listed in the Ring Finders directory and several hours later I was there with my metal detector! He pointed out where he was fooling around in the snow….and where the “find my iphone” app was suggesting its location. Less than 10 minutes into search I got the signal I was looking for with my machine…moved aside about 8 inches of snow…and there was his iphone!!! Adeep was surprised and very happy that I was able to locate his lost phone so fast!

Wedding Ring Lost While Sledding – Recovered!

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

We don’t get much snow here in this part of NC, so two small snows in the span of about 10 days was pretty unusual. Even more unusual was the call I got from Alex, who had lost his wedding ring while sledding! Alex’s neighborhood has some hills, but unfortunately his property isn’t situated the right way, so he was sledding on a neighbor’s property. After one of the sledding runs, his hands were wet and when he shook the water off, the ring made a quick exit onto the hillside. Alex had secured a metal detector to try and find the ring himself, but had not had any luck; at that point, he contacted me. To his credit, he made a note of several nearby visible features, so when he took me to the area where he thought the ring would/should be, I had a solid starting point based on his landmarks.

The grass was similar to what you’d find on a golf course fairway, and being wintertime, it was all brown. It only took 15 minutes or so to locate the ring, which was — surprisingly! — very close to where he thought it had come off. The ring had fallen through the dead layer of grass and was sitting flat on the soil, maybe 3 inches below the top of the grass. Those of us on TheRingfinders joke that “it’s never where they think it is”, so it was refreshing to find Alex’s lost ring quickly and easily. The sooner I can get the lost item back to the owner, the better. Another happy ending!

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Received a Call yesterday afternoon from Keynan in regards to his girlfriend she lost her security keys in a snow covered parking lot, after asking Keynan my usual questions I agreed to meet up with his girlfriend at the parking lot.

I meet Kelsey at the parking lot she explained to me that she was walking out of the building toward her vehicle and when she got to her vehicle she reslized that her security keys had fallen off her lanyard somewhere in the parking lot, she and her friends spent a couple of hrs looking for them with no luck.

While I was talking to Keysey next to her vehicle from the corner of my eye I spotted just the tip of the a key protruding from the snow! Kelsey was relieved to have the keys back in her possession.

That was my quickest search ever I did not have to take my detector out of my vehical.

Keys Found in Snowbank in Ada, MI.

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:
Got a call from Samatha that she lost her car key and a mailbox key.  She was walking from her garage to her apartment when she thinks she dropped the keys.  The trouble was that it was snowing at that time and the plow driver came thru shortly after and plowed the entire parking lot.  I arrived last night at 9PM to search for the keys, searching the inside of her car and the route she took back to her apartment-no luck.  I told her I would be back tomorrow to do a more thorough search.  Arrived today around 1:00PM, much warmer.  The key tech arrived at about the same time to make her a new car key and Samatha and Buddy(her dog) came out to meet us.  I told her I was going to search the big snow pile first and she went on to talk to the key tech.  I got to the second side of the snow pile and got a screaming hit on the metal detector.  Dug down about a foot in the snow and there were her keys.  Somebody had to be watching down on us.
Walked over to her holding the keys in the air and she almost fainted.  Now she only needed a spare key from the key guy.

Matt and his family were attending the New Year’s Day Dolphin Dip on Surf City beach. This event draws a large crowd to take a polar plunge into the cold Atlantic Ocean’s water. Matt removed necklace and stored it out of sight, and when it was time to leave, he left the area without his necklace. He returned a short time afterward to find dredge pipes laying where his family had their belongings.
This necklace holds great meaning for Matt. His grandfather purchased identical necklaces for the grandsons during a trip to Norway when Matt was just a boy. Being a boy, he lost his necklace shortly afterward. After Matt’s brother passed away, Matt began wearing his brother’s necklace in remembrance of both his brother grandfather.

Contact:

Karl called and said he lost his gold wedding ring in the snow when he was brushing the show off his hands on the boulevard in front of his house. He had searched the area with no luck and his wife found my name on the Ring Finders.

I made the trek 4 hours to Brandon, Manitoba, on my day off it was -24 degrees Celsius. Searching the boulevard, it was covered in 11 inches of frozen snow. After two false readings near what should be gold on the metal detector the ring was found in the ice on the road in the curb area.

Thank you, Karl, on the opportunity to find your gold wedding ring.

Recovered 10 year anniversary wedding ring at Northstar- Lake Tahoe.

  • from Reno (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by the couple several days after it was lost in the snow  while having a snowball fight. They searched themselves before their stay had ended and thought the ring was lost for good.  Several days later they heard about TheRingFinders website and contacted me. I made the drive to the location they had lost it and after 30 minutes of a grid search I found it!  It’s tough celebrating by yourself but it sure felt good to make the call telling them I found it. She didn’t want to take the risk having me mail it back to her and they made the drive up to meet me today. It’s always an awesome giving it back to them and seeing their expressions.
