Broken Diamond Ring

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)
Contact:

20130422_201406This weekend I was contacted and requested to find a wedding ring mount and stone.

The white gold mount and diamond from a wedding ring had apparently broke off the band.

I went to a local jeweler and secured a similar mount to determine if my Excalibur II was capable of detecting this small article.

Under the right condition the Minelab seemed to give a faint response. I was hopeful.

The callers residence was another issue, apparently high voltage buried cable and lots of building debris.

I spent couple of hours on my hands and knees with my pinpointer in the grassy areas where the mount and stone might have possibly fallen off.

My work revealed no results

Thanks Chris Turner for the insight on this project

Insurance Company Contact

Contact:

20130412_111228 (2)A big thanks to The Ring Finders website:

I was recently contacted by a Houston based insurance company to assist in a claim investigation.

Their client was reporting the loss of an expensive ring in their back yard, either in their garden or one of several flower beds.

I spent several hours on location searching the areas in question.

No ring was recovered. (was really hoping for a recovery)

I felt comfortable reporting to the insurance company the ring was not at this location

Hoping a solid relationship had been established with the insurance company.

The insurance company found me at theringfinders.com.”

Update Lost Men’s 2013 Texas A&M Class Ring-Found

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)
Contact:

RingA previous open case in Houston involving a lost men’s 2013 Texas A&M Class Ring-Engraved (EW Arnold) has been found.

I recieved the following message from the owner:

Yes sir I actually did! I was looking for your email but I could not remember your email address and with all the emails the school sends me, my email is jam packed. My ring came out of a black hole over spring break when I was in Port Aransas. I found it in the gym bag that I have used every day since I lost the ring, the same bag that I also took to Colorado for the winter break. Not sure how it turned up the way it did but I am quite happy regardless.

Thank you again for your time in helping,

William Arnold

Lost Class Ring in College Station, Texas

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)
Contact:

 I was recently contacted by Ms. Walker from College Station, Texas regarding a lost 2011 Texas A&M class ring.  Ms. Walker was not exactly sure of where she lost her ring, but knew it was missing after an exhaustive search of her home and car.

Ms. Walker felt there could be a slight possibility that it may have fallen of her hand somewhere in her front yard, but was clearly unsure.

I was able to assist Ms. Walker in contacting a fellow Detectorist Bill Sloan in College Station. Mr. Sloan was able to assist Ms. Walker in a metal detection search of both her front and back yards.

The ring remains unrecovered at this time and has been reported to the College Station Police Department.

The ring is described as a ladies 10K Texas A&M class ring with inscription Kelly E.B. Walker. If this ring should cross your path it’s looking to go home.

The following is an e-mail sent by Ms. Walker

Thank you Mr. Volek,

I really appreciate all your help and your connecting me to Mr. Sloan. He was incredibly kind and patient with me throughout our dealings.

He wouldnt even let me pay him for gas. I know he was from the area but I still found it surprising. He made clear that he was simply doing it to help, as you did.

You’ve both made a painful process much easier and I really appreciate it.

My next step is to have a friend of mine take apart the dash on my car. I heard a metal object sliding around when I made a particularly sharp turn yesterday and my heart stopped. I have no idea if it’s my ring or not, but a girl can hope.

Take care, Mr. Volek. I’ll keep you updated if I find it.

Thanks and Gig ’em,
Kelly Walker
