LOST 14k WHITE GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN CHARLOTTE, NC…… FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a text last night asking for help to find an engagement ring lost in their backyard. We planned on me being there at 9:30 am.

Story goes, they were laying on blanket in the backyard when she had put ring on her pinky, stood up and it slipped off into the thick grass. They searched and searched, bought a pinpointer and even ordered a metal detector as well.

He found me online and asked if I could help.

I made the hour and half drive, get the location, turn on and set up my machine, take a step and boom there it was!

Love helping people find the little priceless things they lost and put them back in their life!

LOST WEDDING RING IN GREENSBORO, NC POND……FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from a lady that said her husband of 51 years had lost his wedding ring at a small lake/pond while fishing with his grandkids.

As he was reaching to get a bobber he slipped and fell into the water. That’s when his ring slid off and he lost his cell phone in the process too. He found the cell but couldn’t find the ring. He also said a buddy of his tried to find it with his metal detector but since they didn’t come up with it, he thought it had to have gone deeper in the water/further out from the bank. Oh and the bank was made up of rip raft rock so that made it a bit more of a challenge.

I started scanning the rocks hoping they missed it and I wouldn’t need to get wet. I even scanned the waters edge before getting wet. I didn’t come up with a signal.

So I decided I had to get wet! I realized that I had forgot my weight belt, so fortunately they had two 10lbs weights that I was able to feed my belt through to hold me down, so i could scan the 3-5 feet water about 3-7 feet out.

After 4 hours of all that, I decided to scan the waters edge again (made like the 4th-5th time I had scanned this area between my two set ups)! I get a hit and I tell the gentleman, “I AM NOT SURE HOW I MISSED THIS SIGNAL LAST 3-5 TIMES!”

I grab my pinpointer, get near the waters edge and come up with a big GOLD RING!!! It had been less than a foot off the bank (where he lost his phone) and about 8 inches of water! UGH! Glad i found it but, well you know! Lol

We walk back to the house, his wife didn’t know I had found it yet. We go into the house and I say, “WELL WE GAVE IT A GOOD SHOT, BUT ALL FOUND WAS THIS GOLD THING!”

The transition from sadness/disappointment to literly tears of joy was priceless!! She comes up to me to take the ring and gave me a big hug, keep in mind im still soaking wet! She said I don’t care! Then she turned to her husband, they hugged and both cried a little more!

This is why I do this and what I live for/love to experience!

LOST PLATNIUM ENGAGEMENT RING IN CAMDEN, SC…..FOUND!!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a call Wednesday from a gentleman who’s wife had lost her engagement ring while they were out fishing.

They had rented a boat to enjoy spending some quality time fishing together. Just before they were to be putting things away to start heading back, She caought a big catfish and lost her engagement ring mins after the photo was taken. She actually had lost both wedding and engagement but the wedding ring fell in the boat while the engagement feel in about 3-4 feet of water. He tried jumping into the cold water to see if he could save his wife’s ring but sadly with no success. She was understandablly so upset and have been crying.

Thats where I come into the picture. I had to prepare my boat, get my gear ready as I had to plan for a 2.5 hour drive 1-way along with having to cross from the boat ramp side to the other side of the lake to the spot where she lost the ring.

I arrived at 10:00 am, he arrived at about 10:40 and we made the boat ride to the other side. We started where he was pretty confident where she lost it. After a few pulltabs, can pieces, and 2 hours later, I get a good signal that sounds right on top as it should be! After a few scoops I see a platinum diamond ring in the basket!!! By 12:30 ish the ring had been returned. Had to wait for him to get home before he could take a picture of his wife and her happiness!

He told me, “This was so worth it to help my wife stop crying!”

I love helping people find their lost priceless items!!

LOST 14k WHITE GOLD EARRING in MOUNT ULLA…… FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I received a call yesterday from a gentleman, whose wife had lost a 14k white gold earring in their field. She was mowing when she ducked trying to avoid a limb. Well the limb caught her earring and popped it out of her ear and into the grass. They bought a cheep metal detector and used the other earring to try and find the one that was lost, but with no success. So they found me on the internet and gave me a call.

I told them I’d be there first thing in the morning. I arrived and we had to walk to the back of the fields. She showed me where she was mowing and where she got snagged by the limb and 10 secs later there’s her earring!!

LOST GOLD 750 CARTIER RING in RALEIGH, NC…… FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Barley got home and a young lady texted me saying she had lost her gold 750 Cartier ring in Raleigh while playing in an outdoor beach volleyball tournament.

She said she lost it while making a play on the ball. She felt it slide off. She said she went back today with a metaldetecter and couldn’t find it.

She asked when I could come and find it for her. So, of course I said, “Give me 10 mins and I’ll be on the road!”

When I arrived there were a group of people playing volleyball so I had to wait. As soon as they were done, my first signal in the corner of the playing area was her ring.

Today was 2-2 gold ring kind of day!!!

LOST 18K DIAMOND RING in NEW LONDON, NC……FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a call the other day from a gentleman whose wife had lost an 18k gold ring about two years ago. He asked if I could come and try to find it. I was currently working that day, but I said I would come first thing Sunday when I was off. I get to the house meet his wife and she begins to show me where she was at and what she was doing the day she lost her ring. I began to search, I was hearing many signals, but I got a good signal under a holly bush tree move back the dirt and I could see a gold circle. I stood up, looked over at her and said I think I just found your ring. The smile and the excitement on her face said it all. She was beside herself with joy. She couldn’t believe that after two years, she was reunited with a ring that she’s so cherished.

After finding the ring, we stood in the driveway talking about the ring. They shared with me that it was a custom ring made in New York. The jewelry company name was seven fingers. Because the jeweler only had seven fingers.

I love putting smiles back on peoples faces!!

LOST WHITE GOLD WEDDING RING IN RALEIGH, NC….. FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

While in SC attempting another recovery, sadly didnt find that one, I received a text about a lost ring in Raleigh, NC, at a parks volleyball sandy pit area.

The couple were visiting from out of state and leaving soon. I advised them of the current laws and that I’d have to call the local police to see if I could get permission to try and find it. I called Raleigh, PD and they deferred me to the park staff/security. I called and spoke with the director of the park where the ring was lost. He advised me he would have to call his supervisor and said he’d call me back. About 30 mins later I get a call and the green light!!! They said someone would need to be present while I searched for the ring, I said, “sounds good to me!” So from SC it was about a 3 hour drive!

I arrived at the park, then couple arrived and I called the Director to advise him we were there and I was about to get started. I covered the first area and didn’t find it. The park director showed up and sat at the picnic table where the 2nd possible location was. 1 pulltab and 1 twist top later I get another signal and it’s her ring!

LOST FAMILY HEIRLOOM PLATNIUM DIAMOND RING in CHARLOTTE, NC…….FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message from a young lady needing my help to search for her lost family heirloom platinum diamond ring that was passed down by her great-grandmother.

Story goes, she pulled into work, took the ring off and put it in her pocket. She went into the building and then back out of the building. She turned to the right and ran to the back shed on the backside of the building to place a box in there. Then she ran back inside. The running must have caused the ring to work itself up and out of her pocket.

When she came back inside she realized she had lost her ring. Her and her co-workers searched and searched for her ring to no avail! She was so devastated!!

We make arrangements for me to come search for it. I get to the site and start my search. There were lots of signals in the gold/platnium range. Based on that it took me hours to recover it. But finally, not too far from the front door, in the high grass I get a signal, grabbed my pin-pointer, I move the grass back and I finally see the ring!!!

I texted her pictures of the ring and she sent a co-worker/friend to come pick it up!

LOST SILVER WEDDING RING in FAYETTEVILLE, NC….. FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

So on my way back home from my Goldsboro, NC recovery, I get a call from a guy in Fayetteville, NC that lost his silver wedding ring in his backyard while cleaning up trees and debris 2 weeks ago.

I make the deture and head his way. Get to his house, we head to the back and I start my search! The ring is not foubd where he thought he lost it and where he had already found his copper ring.

I advise we backtrack his steps. We start from the point of where he had taken them off and placed into his pocket along with his keys. 15-20 feet from there in the middle of the back grassy area just off his back porch, I get strong hit and look down to shiny silver roundness!

Man I really enjoy this hobby and helping people get their priceless treasures back!!
