Lost ring in Merrimack New Hampshire found

Hey Guy’s and Gal’s!

I wanted to share a couple emails I have gotten recently to demonstrate some typical requests we get as ring finders.

Dear Guy,

About a year ago, I put my ring somewhere in my house for safe keeping.  I was leaving town for a while and did not want to leave it in easy view in case someone broke into our house while we were away.  Long story short, I cannot find it but feel certain it is here somewhere.  I am wondering if this is something you might be able to locate.  I do have some other jewelry and silver in my house and don’t know if your detector can distinguish between a gold band with very small rubies and diamonds and sterling silver flatware, etc.  If so, I would love to talk with you.

You can reach me at 781-xxx-xxxx.  I will be out of town over the weekend and be back Sunday evening.

Many thanks for considering my request, and for your heart-warming blog!

Sincerely,
Polly Sxxxx

 

This is a long shot but here it goes…. just lost my wedding ring in my front yard. Can you please help me. I was raking and lost it. I live in Merrimack. Is this something you could do for me? I can pay you. Please help.
Thx Mark Bxxxxxx

I responded to both emails immediately, but am waiting to hear back from the ring misplaced in the home. The ring lost while doing yard work I recovered an hour after leaving my regular 9 to 5 job. I searched the front yard of Marks house for about five minutes then proceeded to the big pile of leaves he had captured while cleaning up the yard. It’s crazy, but a ring in a big pile of leaves is sometimes as bad as a ring lost in the sand. A ring  just has a way to elude the hand. When I swiped my Teknetics-Omega 8000 over the pile of leaves I got a repeatable nickle signal and that was a clear indicator our prize was there. A quick search with my pin pointer and Mark was reunited with his wedding band. Mark made the comment how he had recently lost some weight, so you need to keep that in mind come New Years resolution time. 🙂

Lost wedding ring in Westford Massachusetts. Found!

  • from Bremerton (Washington, United States)
Contact:

It never fails. My daughter and I had just got back from a 20 mile drive when my phone rang. Turns out a gentlemen 5 miles from where we had just came from lost his wedding ring while dumping yard debris in the woods behind his house. Mike had rented a metal detector and him and his wife had spent a few hours searching prior to calling me. They had given up finding it themselves. It was dark, so I hesitated for about 3 seconds before agreeing to meet them at their house and look for Mike’s Platinum and Gold spinner wedding ring. I arrived shortly and Mike showed me the general area, on the outside of his small wooden fence, where the ring was last headed. It was explained to me that Mike was standing up against the fence when he tossed a hand full of leaves onto the other side of his fence. We emptied the area of as much debris as possible and then proceeded to sweep the area. After a few minutes  I asked Mike to show me exactly where he was standing and exactly the motion he remembers going through when he lost his ring. Afterwards I went to where he was and slowly animated the movement. What I noticed was that the position he was in when his hands separated from the debris put his left hand in an almost parallel line with the fence. A ring will have a hard time coming off a finger unless it is straight or even hyper-flexed, and if Mike’s finger was straight or more the ring would have went over the fence off to the left over the fence, if over the fence at all. It could have even hit the fence. I did an about left face and started to stroll the fence line when in the beam of my headlight, yes I said headlight, I got a familiar glint. Shiny object LOL. There on the ground about 6 feet away was Mike’s ring. It would have made a nice ping sound the next time the grass was mowed, especially if not finding it left everyone thinking it was lost out in the woods. Happily reunited we with his ring, Mikes wife, Mike, and I went on to have a great few minutes of conversation about things I have found in the past and some of my more challenging ring returns. Really nice people and very appreciative. Folks, find something you are enthusiastic about and dearly treasure and do it, because we don’t get any second go’s at this life. I Love this hobby and under some circumstances do it for free, but what I have found is many people would not think of some kind of a token of their appreciation not being accepted. I added a few interesting finds just to change things up and of course a smile photo!          A couple odds and ends at bottom.

Lost ring in Worcester MA Found

  • from Bremerton (Washington, United States)

Hey Guys and Gals

I don’t know if you remember, but last week I found a ladies ring on the roof of her house, if you just did a double take go back and look for that article, after returning Jennifer’s ring and before leaving her driveway I got a call from a gentlemen who lived about 30 miles away, so instead of heading home I headed further towards western MA to a town called Worcester. Seems while doing a bunch of trimming and brush hauling Mr. Jones came up bare handed. I arrived at the owners house and ask him a series of questions, which all got the normal responses. It would be great to top the ring on the roof story, but instead I’ll just take credit for being a luck charm, because after a few short minutes while walking around, the owner looked down and found his ring. Some are easier to find than others. Regardless, I got some gas money and some fresh produce. No complaints here! All in all another happy couple. I don’t know about all the guy’s out there, but for me I’m just happy when a ring gets back where it belongs no matter who finds it.

Lost ring in Natick, MA. found. Find of a life time.

  • from Bremerton (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Find of a life time is a common phrase heard in the metal detecting community. It has a different definition than what you will find in this story. Last Monday I got a text concerning a very special lost ring in Natick, MA. A very common story where the parents were playing with the children in the back yard when one action or another dislodged the women’s ring from her finger. The play immediately ceased and the family spent the rest of the daylight looking for the lost ring with no success.

When I arrived at the home the first thing I noticed was the landscaping. The ground in the back yard reminded me of a green and brown loop pile carpeting. In other words there was no real place for a ring to go, so I figured Id be out there in a few minutes flat. Well after 30 minutes of covering the entire back yard with a grid search I came up empty I expanded the search to around corners, under and in any yard toys, and on and in a small shed, but still a big nothing. At that point I made a joke about climbing over into the neighbors yard or checking the gutters. The next words out of my mouth were, “Do you have a ladder?” I am still not sure what that look on Jennifer’s face meant! I got the ladder to check the gutters, but as it turned out they were not going to need a handyman to come by later this fall to clean them out and the roof was pretty much debris free also except for a large platinum ring with 8 crazy diamonds.

Two people playing keep away, an air filled ball, a loose ring, and of course physics will send a ring flying every time. Hope I can attache video and be careful it’s a little loud, but pay attention to the wife and not me. She was very happy!

 

Video is loud so be careful!!

YOU REALLY SHOULD SEE VIDEO!

On October 16th I was outside playing ball with my family. I reached up with both my hands to catch the ball and I felt my wedding ring come off my finger. All of us immediately started looking for it. My husband
marked the spot where i was and we continued to search. After 1/2 hour my husband decided to go buy a metal detector. My kids went inside and I stayed outside walking back and forth through the yard. My husband returned
and he began to search with the metal detector, still no luck. After 3 hours of nonstop searching i had to come inside to cook dinner. I began to feel hopeless. I have had my wedding ring for 10 years and I felt I had lost a piece
of myself. My husband searched online and he came across ring finders. We contacted Guy and he asked if we wanted him to come out that night or the next day. We agreed that he would come out the next day. I anxiously waited for him
to arrive and was hopeful that he’d be able to find it. The morning I met Guy he asked were the action took place I took him to the backyard. He asked where we were playing and where I thought the ring would be. He began his search
walking up and down the yard. He said the ring might have went over the fence and we might need to search the neighbors yard also. I guess anything could have been a possibility because where I thought it was we weren’t having any
luck. He also had asked if I had a ladder so he could check the gutters/roof. I was thinking that there was no way that it could be in the gutters or on the roof with the way that it had came off my finger. I gave him the ladder from
the shed. He climbed up and was looking all the while I was thinking I should get ready to go ask the neighbors if he could search their yard then Guy pulled out his phone I didn’t realize it then but he was recording this moment
because he had found my ring. I would have never in a million years thought that it was up on the roof. I still get emotional thinking about the moment it was back on my finger. It must have hit the ball in mid air and that’s
how it ended up on the roof. I appreciate Guy so much for his patience and thinking outside the box. I am forever grateful.
Hello Guy this is Jennifer Edwards I apologize for the huge delay in this email but here it is.
Hope all is going well.  All the best, Jennifer

Lost ring in lake Pawtuckaway NH found

  • from Bremerton (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Hey guys and gals!

Monday, the 10th of October, I got a text message from a gentlemen named Vic asking me if I could help him find his custom made 22K wedding ring. Vic, his wife, and close friends, had been enjoying Columbus day at one of the largest State Parks in Southeastern New Hampshire, when he encountered what would perfectly describe the ideal situation for loosing a ring, it was dusk, he was in the frigid waters of Lake Pawtuckaway, and lastly he was playing catch with a Frisbee.

Straight out about 20 yards from the rocks in the first photo was where the ring ended up being found. Vic was happily reunited with his beautiful ring and he learned a good lesson, but I will have to admit I learned a lesson too, never give up and always remember the basics. I looked for Vic’s ring for two hours before deciding I needed a break. I was cold and kind of light headed from splashing around in the cold lake water, so Vic and I sat down to warm up in the sun and he set out telling me how it’s a custom where he’s from for each partner to have the others ring custom made and how they do not see the ring until it goes on their finger at the wedding. Turns out the designs each one chose was almost identical, which in their opinion was pretty awesome.

I listened to Vic’s story again on how he lost his ring and being it rang so true to how a ring is lost I had to determine one of two things was going on, concerning me not finding the ring yet, my detector was not working correctly or the ring fell on or near a piece of iron and my machine was discriminating out the iron and the ring at the same time. I proceeded to start my hunt over in all metal mode and dig everything that beeped and a long story short I got a hit on a couple of objects side by side, scooped them up and had a bobby pin, a small nail, and a 22K gold ring. Turned out to be a gorgeous day!

Lost ring in Bedford New Hampshire

  • from Bremerton (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Hey Guys and Gals!

I got a phone call from a young man in Bedford New Hampshire who went on to tell me about how his wife who lost her platinum wedding ring while doing cartwheels in their yard. Of course I had to laugh a little and then I thought about this old man (myself) doing the same thing while hanging out with his daughter.

I arrived at their home about an hour after dark and began my search. After grid searching the area where all the fun had taken place I determined I was loosing my touch or the ring was somewhere else. A second round of questioning determined mom and son had played all over the yard.  Deciding to take a quick swing around the pool area I quickly tripped over something in the grass (LOL) Not really, but if I had stepped on this ring I would have felt it. The pictures of the ring suck and for future reference I am getting a better camera. I was waiting on new photo’s, but wanted to go ahead and get this posted. Very handsome couple and was glad to meet them. Also feel fortunate to be a member of the ring finders where you can bring a smile to a sad face.

Lost ring in Hollis NH while spring cleaning yard

  • from Bremerton (Washington, United States)
Contact:

I had a message left on my phone Sunday by Brian who lives in Hollis New Hampshire. Brian had been cleaning up sticks and leaves in his yard the day before when he noticed his wedding ring missing. As soon as I got off work I headed to Hollis NH. Turns out it was his dads ring originally, so you can imagine the personal value. Brian stated he had gloves on most the day and tried to recall all the times he took them off or worked without them. He had also borrowed an old White’s metal detector and searched for hours. I went over all the areas he and his wife pointed out to me. I guess I spent an hour or so before starting to get discouraged. It was a big yard, so if I was going to have to search the entire area I was going to have to come back. His wife and I started a conversation while I searched all the areas earlier discussed, but this time I broadened my search area by a couple feet. There were multiple debris piles and one large one they had apparently been using for years. I walked out in the center of the pile and got a pull tab signal, checked it and it was a pull tab. I got another pull tab signal and made the comment, ” it’s another pull tab but we have to check them all right? Well it wasn’t a pull tab it was the ring. I hope I never get used to the wide eyes and big smiles.

Lost earring Salem NH returned

  • from Bremerton (Washington, United States)
Contact:

After 3 trips to a lake in Salem NH to look for a lost earring I had about given up. I have to smile when I think about the owners attitude. Vicki was very matter of a fact that I was going to find the earring and that I was going to find it before this winters freeze. She had more confidence in me than I did. I did everything according to procedure. A proper question and answer session and a perfect grid search way beyond the bounds of where the earring could have been. As it turns out it wasn’t that part of the process that was flawed. It was my tools. I did some investigation work and determined that the match to this earring just wasn’t going to respond properly if at all to the coils I had available for my machine, so with some discussion the family decided we would buy the coil needed and start over. The 4.5 sniper coil arrived and I came back out at my earliest time. Unbelievably after 10 minutes in the same exact area I hunted before I got a signal identical to the one I got while testing the coil on the earrings match. I wish I had a better camera because there was something magic about having a fist full of sand and debris oozing out between your fingers with a 1.5 karat diamond lodge between my pointing finger and my middle finger. The sun was bright and the diamond looked like it was in a show case. I can’t explain how happy I was for these guys! Really nice people.

Lost ring in Sudbury MA “It was Grandpas”

  • from Bremerton (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Shane1 shane2

This really nice guy in Sudbury MA called me the other day and said he lost his wedding ring while playing ultimate Frisbee. The ring was his Grandads and was obviously irreplaceable. When I got to the fields we met and he showed me an area extending from the parking lot to about 200 or 250 yards away. Oh boy I thought. We started where he thought he had lost it first and by the time we went from one end of a designated area to the very end I could tell he was getting disillusioned. The truth is I went a few feet past the designated area by chance and I got a nickle signal that defaulted my detector. I grinned to myself squatted down and saw a shimmer of gold. He was a happy camper as was I!

Lost, 75 miles per hour ring, found on highway in Derry NH

  • from Bremerton (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Wow Guys and gals, be careful when trying to get a fly out of your car. I got a call from a young man the other day, it seems his bride of 8 years and himself were coming home from a day in the mountains and biking when a pesky fly wouldn’t exit the truck. Well as it turns out it was a big horsefly and while shoo shooing it out the window off goes what is probably the most unique ring I have ever found. I don’t know if anyone has noticed the amount of trash on the sides of our highways, but let me tell you there is a ton of it. If I picked up 1 piece of trash I picked up 200 and when Evan and I thought we had about cleared out a quarter mile of people’s leavings I found another one, but I knew the owner of this one. The thing is the ring was sitting right on the side of the pavement about 10 yards of where I had predicted it should be, if what Evan had told me was accurate. It was sitting perfectly centered on the little piece of trash pictured next to it in the photo. It’s 18K gold wrapped in meteorite, so not only was the signal crazy, but the ring was camouflaged as a butter lid. Ha Ha! No matter we got it back where it belongs. Smiles all around!     evanringtrash evanringSolitaire evanSmile
