Surprising Recovery!

  • from Eau Claire (Wisconsin, United States)

While kayaking, Linda lost her Apple phone a few feet off the dock into 4 feet of water. The water was cold and visibility nonexistent, and the phone could not be found.  The next morning, using an Excalibur II, an appropriate signal was located very quickly and the phone was brought to the surface in a sand scoop.  Of course that would be too easy, and the phone, only partially in the scoop fell back into the water.  It then took about 30 minutes to bring it up again. The big surprise however was when Linda turned it on, it worked after sixteen hours submerged in the lake!  Just as happy as Linda was her grandson, who was worried how it could call Grandma if her phone was lost.

Engagement Ring Found!

  • from Eau Claire (Wisconsin, United States)

Got a text from Cara. While working at a horse ranch she lost her diamond engagement ring.  The ring had more than monetary value.  It had belonged to her fiancee’s grandmother who passed away five years ago.  She wasn’t sure where she lost the ring so we retraced the route she took while watering and feeding the horses.  This included paths and multiple paddocks, which were were a combination of mud and horse droppings.  I found out that some horses are very curious and frequently got in the way.  One apparently thought my Garrett carrot was an edible carrot.  We searched for almost two hours and were about done when I got a solid steady 11 on the Equinox.  The ring was about a half inch down in the mud and manure!

Silver Necklace recovered in Black River Falls, WI

Contact:

Amber found me on the Ring Finders website after she lost a silver necklace of sentimental value, given to her by family.  She was helping with a wedding when she noticed the necklace was missing.  She was certain that she lost it while carrying a suitcase across a mowed field.  On a cloudy, misty day we discovered it hiding in the stubble after about an hour of searching.  Made us both smile!

Lost Keys Found in Eau Claire, WI.

Contact:

Janessa lost the keys to her apartment and mailbox while walking her retriever last evening.  She and her friends searched but no luck.  Her father found my number and she called to see if I could help.  We detected the path she had followed and the places where they had stopped to play, a fairly large area.  We searched for almost two hours, and were becoming pretty discouraged, when there they were.

Class ring found!

  • from Eau Claire (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

While searching an old volleyball site, I recovered a large gold college class ring.  From the date and a partial name engraved on the inside, I was able, with the help of the university, to identify and locate the owner.  On the telephone, the owner’s wife recalled her husband losing the ring playing volleyball 24 years earlier!  Needless to say, he was as surprised as he was happy to get the ring back.
