Lost wedding ring found in Leawood

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

Ed was raking leaves in his front yard when he realized his wedding ring was missing.  The harder he searched, the stronger that sinking feeling gripped the pit of his stomach.  He contacted me and the next morning I arrived at his home.  After our initial conversation, I gridded the front yard, but got no result. Next, we focused on the leaf bags.  Sure enough, the second bag came back with a signal.  Emptying the bag, small segments at a time, the target eventually found its way out of the bag and into that pile of leaves.  The pin-pointer did the rest and another discouraged customer was thrilled to have his ring back in hand.

Paladium and White Gold Wedding Ring found in Olathe KS

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

Heather was on a family outing at the Olathe Lake Swim Beach and lost her wedding ring.  She was in about 5’ of water and as the ring slipped off, she saw it disappear into the murk.  This ring has a very deep sentimental value for Heather and Dave.  It also has considerable material value as it is a palladium band with 14K white gold bands on either side and a beautiful round diamond.

She and her husband made several unsuccessful attempts to find the ring.  They contacted me through Ring Finders and we met soon after at the beach in question.  We had a 2-hour time limit on our search as the facility wanted us to be finished by the time they opened.  We recovered several targets but did not locate the ring. 

We decided to regroup on a day that the beach was closed so we wouldn’t run into a tight time limit.  Also, I changed tack to hunt underwater with my hookah dive rig, detector, pin-pointer, mask and weight belt.  So, Dave and I returned to the lake and after a few more fishing lures, pull tabs and bottle caps the Legend rang up a solid, shallow, repeatable 29.  There is very little visibility at 5’ but I had the target in hand as I rose to the surface.  This stunner emerged and I knew a happy ending would culminate with this ring going back to its grateful owner!!

 Later that evening, when David returned the ring to his wife, Heather texted me and said she was “too emotional” to talk.  Tears of joy I suspect.

Wedding Ring found in Fairway KS

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

Don’s wife contacted me through The Ring Finders to find her husband’s lost wedding ring.  She wasn’t as enthusiastic as one might expect and upon arrival at their home I realized why.  Turns out Don lost his ring about 6 weeks prior and never said anything to his wife, so she wasn’t very happy.

Don told me that while doing some work on their backyard landscaping, he felt the ring slip off his finger.  He was quite confident that he’d find it by just searching but after several hours he wasn’t successful.  He had the idea to search for it at night with a flashlight, but still no joy.  Eventually, he gave up but hadn’t told his wife yet.  When she found out, she sprung into action, found me in our directory and shortly after I was at their door.

Don was very specific about the location where he lost it, a spot with bushes and mulch.  Within 1 minute of turning on my detector, the ring was in his hand.  Likely, in his attempt to find the ring, he inadvertently covered it up even more by moving the mulch.

As I was departing, he thanked me for helping “save” his marriage.  I don’t know if it was quite that drastic but he was obviously very relieved and grateful to have it returned.

Ring found at Shawnee Mission Park

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

Paul and Anika had a ring exchange ceremony on beautiful Saturday afternoon.  The next day, they enjoyed the day spending time at a local park and lake. Paul discovered he lost his ring but was confident he was wearing it when they entered the park.

We scheduled a time to meet at the park and upon arrival spent about 10 minutes of detecting Q&A to get as much information as possible to narrow the search field.  After about 20 minutes of combing through pull tabs and can slaw, I hit a shallow, solid target but it still couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.  The pinpointer sniffed it out and we had one very happy couple.
