A friend of mine, Ray Mann, who is also a friend of Justin Wahrenburg, referred me to his neighbor whose wife had lost her wedding ring set in their backyard about a month ago. My friend Justin was actually my very first ring recovery I ever made as a member of “The Ring Finders.”
These rings were incredibly special — over 100 years old and originally purchased in Charlotte, North Carolina. Because of their age and history, they were truly irreplaceable in so many ways.
He contacted me, and I told him I could come out that same day to search for them.
After carefully scanning the entire backyard using a VDI range of 40–75 and not finding anything, I decided to adjust my settings to 35–65 and start again from the beginning. Within minutes, I got a signal reading VDI 37 and uncovered the first ring. About five feet away, I picked up another signal reading VDI 38 — the second ring!
Turns out I had simply missed them earlier because of my original settings.
Needless to say, the whole family was overjoyed. They had been praying and believing the rings would be found.
Her husband actually filmed the moment, and her reaction when the rings were returned was captured on video.
Moments like this are exactly why I love doing what I do — finding something so meaningful and getting it back where it belongs.
