Lost Wedding Ring in Neosho

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

Rhonda lost her wedding band putting out hay for her horses.  Once the initial panic subsided she called friends with a metal detector but they had no luck.  She contacted me and the next morning I was on the scene.  I demonstrated how the machine worked to her satisfaction.  She patiently recreated the scene and retraced all her steps.  With both she and her husband in close proximity, we started a circular shaped search pattern.  Within minutes, we heard that awesome report of a coil swinging over a solid target!  Voila, another happy ending.  She and Kenny are thrilled that they contacted a professional to return their precious keepsake.

Lost Keys in Leawood KS

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

Mike suspected he lost his key fob while shoveling snow.  He turned the house upside down but couldn’t find them (or his spares)!  A scheduled flight that afternoon intensified the need to respond and recover these keys.  He contacted me and I began to search the snow on the sides of the driveway with no luck.  The entire drive hadn’t yet been shoveled, but the rebar in the concrete was giving my detector fits.  So I had Mike completely clear the driveway and voila!  The key fob was still in the snow, but once it got over the grass instead of the drive, the Legend sniffed it straight out.  Another happy customer and another on-time departure.

Lost ring in Overland Park during Turkey Day Football game.

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

Nick lost his wedding ring at his family’s annual Turkey Day football game.  Hours of determined searching and borrowing a metal detector did not do the trick.  His mother in law contact me through Ringfinders and within 45 minutes we had his ring successfully recovered.  So often, it just pays to bring in a pro.  Another ring back to its rightful owner, another happy customer!                                                                                                                                                                

Lost Wedding Ring in Lee’s Summit

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

Kayle realized she lost her ring on Sunday.  Trying to recreate all her actions since the last time she knew she had it on, she felt the most likely culprit was the backyard football game.  She enlisted friends and family to help look through the leaves and grass.  She even rented\purchased metal detectors to no avail.  On Friday she contacted me and within a couple of hours we were in the “football field” in question.  We did our best to re-enact the events, figured out most likely areas and then grid the boundaries of the search area.  10 minutes of swinging and we hit that unmistakable staccato tone of a surface target!  Another very happy customer!         

Lost Ring Recovered in Louisburg KS

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

Kara attended an outdoor wedding and after the ceremony realized her unique silver ring was missing.  Lots of folks looked for it under a massive party tent but came up with nothing.  They searched again to no avail as the tent and setup were dismantled the next day.

Wisely, she got on the internet, found TheRingFinders and subsequently contacted me.  We carefully set boundaries for a grid search and voila!  15 minutes and we swung right over the ring, very near where she was sitting.  This is one she couldn’t replace so it had a huge sentimental value for her.

It is so satisfying to be a part of the story.

 

Platinum Diamond Wedding Ring Found on Florida Beach, Returned to the Owner!

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

This is so crazy and so unlikely but ever detail is true. Recently, I was hunting a Florida beach and found a gorgeous Tacori Platinum wedding band with multiple diamonds in the band.

As I was filming my good fortune I was approached by a young woman who said their had been people looking for a lost ring the day prior.  We searched for them on the beach but could not find them.  Grasping for straws, I thought to ask the attendant at the stand where they rent umbrellas and beach chairs.  Sure enough, the folks looking for that ring left their contact information with him.

He took my business card, contacted the woman who lost the ring, and within just a few minutes I got a call from Jennifer.  She described the ring perfectly and was  overwhelmed with joy at the prospect of getting her family heirloom back.  What a stroke of good fortune!!  30 minutes later she was reunited with her lost keepsake and we had a touching moment together with her daughter.

What an awesome hobby that let’s me be involved in this sort of joy.  I never tire of it 😊                                                                                                    

Lost Cartier Ring Returned in Olathe, KS

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

In a fit of pique, Jesse launched Sam’s matching Cartier love band across the drive, across the street and onto a neighbor’s property.  After cooler heads prevailed, she set upon a search for the ring  that included enlisting the neighbors, ushing flashlights at night, and even buying her own detector.  When none of these resulted in the return of her ring, she contacted TheRingFinders and that lead her to me.  We carefully reconstructed the events and within 15 minutes, the gold Cartier was back with it’s rightful owner!  Another happy ending and a very satisfied customer!

Frank lost his wedding ring playing football with his son.  After several searches attempting to locate the ring in his backyard, his wife contacted The Ringfinders.  The next day we were recreating the events step by step.  Sure enough, the ring was less than 3 ft from the very spot he’d marked as the search area.  Another happy customer and another happy ending!

Jayce lost her white gold and diamond ring in her back yard.  After two days of searching and two new metal detectors, she was frustrated and had given up much hope of finding it.  She finally contacted me and within 4 hours we were in her back yard recreating the events that lead to the lost ring.  Bingo!  Ring Found!  One more happy customer and one more cherished keepsake back with its rightful owner!  This doesn’t ever get old.  It is truly an honor and very rewarding to be a part of the story.

 

 

Diamond Anniversary Ring Found in South Johnson County

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

Emily lost her 5 year wedding anniversary ring at a local winery on Friday night.  She looked over and over for it to no avail.  She sought assistance from the staff at the winery and even bought her own metal detector but none of her efforts produced the ring.  During a discussion of the events at work, one of her coworkers suggested The Ringfinders.

She contacted me and within a few hours we were at the location retracing her steps.  When that didn’t work, I began a grid search of the expansive gravel parking lot.  The painstaking attention to detail paid off as 45 minutes into to the grid, I heard the familiar staccato of a surface target.  Platinum with 5 diamonds, Emily’s precious family keepsake was right under my coil.

She was beside herself with joy when she got the news that her ring was safe.  Returning these irreplaceable treasures is an honor and deeply satisfying to be involved in.  Another happy (understatement) customer!
