I received a text  from Travis’s wife about finding her husband’s VMI class ring.  I was able to meet Travis and his daughter this last Friday and heard his story. Travis said he had thrown an apple core off a friends back deck when his VMI class ring went sailing with it.  Travis had searched several days trying to find his ring with no luck. I started my search in front of the deck area then moved outward. I finally was able to get a shallow signal and using my pinpointer  to brush the grass aside. Boom there it was..

I was shocked at the size of his ring. One of the largest ring’s I have ever seen. I called over his daughter and she picked  it up and cleaned it off then we tried to surprise him. But he knew something was up when he saw both of us standing there waiting on him to come off the deck .. that’s when she gave him his ring.

You could tell his ring was very meaningful to him and having his daughter there to give it back to him was an awesome moment.

Thanks Travis for trusting me enough to find your ring.

 

I  received a call several days ago about a lost diamond ring. I was able to go out  after work and recover that lost ring.  Took only a half hour of searching before finding it.

Another successful search in the books.

Hi all

I Received a call from Pamela about her engagement ring that was lost in her back yard.. I set up a time to go out and try to recover the ring. I started along a metal wire fence and worked out from there.. on my second pass I received a #18 vdi on my Fisher F 75+ and used my pinpointer to zero in on the signal.. bingo I found it…. 

Total time of search was about 2  minutes.

Thank you for the call and happy to help out this young couple..

If you have lost something important and need a hand finding it. Give your local ringfinder a call..

I received a text from Charles about his lost wedding band. I was able to text him back soon after that night and told him to call me and we would set up a time to search for his ring. Charles had lost his ring taking grass off his fishing equipment and he accidentally flung it off his finger which bounced once and rolled off the dock and fell in to the pond. After making several tries for the ring himself by feeling for it with his fingers he gave up. Charles posted a need to find his ring on craig’s list and was contacted by one of our ringfinder relatives from myrtle beach and told him to contact me.

I’m not 100% comfortable in pond water because its nasty,mucky and you sink 4 to 5 inches on each step. I brought my hip waders hoping they would be high enough to keep from getting totally wet. I was trying to dig signals in the clay bottom and after an hour I was wondering if I would ever find this titanium ring. I believe I chased this ring 2 ft before finally getting it in the sand scoop I was using.

Thank you Charles for the call and letting me find your ring and for the generous reward.

 

 

I received a call from Rick about his wife’s wedding and engagement rings lost while she was trying to fix a flat tire on a garden tractor. I was able to go out this morning even though it was raining. I was able to get the complete story about how the ring was lost. Ricks wife was taking off the front tire of the tractor because it was flat and needed repaired, so trying to protect her rings from being scratched or damaged she gave her son Jr the rings to put in his pocket for a short time till the work was completed. After jr and his mom went inside, jr went back outside to catch fireflies in the neighbors yard, and was called in later by his mother to get her rings back, only 2 problems, jr’s pocket had a ring size hole in it,and no rings in it.  I search the suspected areas where they thought the rings where and found nothing, so I moved into the neighbors side yard and found the first outer band in some tall grass   . I searched for another 30 minutes or so with the smaller second ring still not being found. To tell the truth I almost gave up because I believed it to be inside the house, but I wanted to give the side yard one more shot and at the 3ft from the neighbors gate I got that low signal of foil and saw the glint of gold and knew right away I found the smaller inside ring. I was able to return both rings.

Ricks wife went on to tell me that several years ago her rings where stolen from the NICU unit at our local hospital and pawned. After the Greenville police investigated they tracked down the thief and was able to recover both rings at a pawnshop. A great recovery by the Greenville police department.

If you have lost something very important to you give your local ringfinder a call.

 

I received a call from David about his wife’s rings lost in Twin Lakes campground swimming area. I was able to go out last saturday night at 9pm to look for the rings but was stopped by the 10pm curfew. After not finding the ring saturday night we agreed on another time to search which was today. We met at the lake location and after about 30 minutes search I was able to locate both rings.  (1) gold engagement ring and (1) camo ring.

Thank you David for the call and trusting me enough to recover your wife’s rings.

Thanks to the staff at TwinLakes campground for letting us back in to recover the rings. The staff was very awesome to work with to make this recovery possible.

Thank you David for the generous reward. If you have lost something important to you please give your local ringfinder a call.
