Lost White Gold Engagement Ring Found in Snow in Akron, Ohio!

  • from Wooster (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

This (Tuesday) morning I saw I’d missed a text overnight from Celeste in Akron, Ohio. The text said her fiancée, Khaliya, had lost her white gold engagement ring in their snow filled parking lot on Monday. Unable to find it, they had asked around to see if anyone had a metal detector. They were able to get a hold of one and gave it a try, but without any experience with a detector, they had no luck, just a lot of noise. Then someone told them about Ring Finders and Celeste decided to “give it shot” and reached out. 

I have to admit, I didn’t have very high hopes at first, especially being a parking lot! First of all, Ohio was slammed with snow over the weekend, and a lot of places were still “digging” out! Secondly, some parking lots can be tough, with rebar and other structural supports running beneath them causing interference. Plus, with traffic and pedestrians, a ring can be kicked, moved, run over, dragged or even picked up! You name it, it could happen! Third, plowing! If the parking lot had been plowed, or if the snow had been removed…it wouldn’t bode well. I expressed these concerns to Celeste when I messaged her back and the response was just what we (as detectorists) love to hear in a situation like this; gravel parking lot, had not been plowed. Great!!

I arrived in front of their house around 1 pm and they met me at my truck. They explained that they were helping their roommate get their vehicle out of the snow and had been pushing the car up the driveway. We followed the path they took and then I sent them inside (it was single digits with a negative windchill!) and told them I’d text when I found it. Less than five minutes later, BAM! Clear tone, one to two inches down in the snow, there it was! I text Celeste with a simple, “Got it!” and received, “OMG! Coming!” 

I took a couple of pictures of the ring as I waited and when they arrived, they were both so excited and couldn’t believe how quickly I had found it! I handed Khaliya her ring and I showed them exactly where it was found. They thanked me, we snapped some pictures and I sent them back in to get warm! I loaded up the truck, blasted the heat and headed home, smiling! It never gets old!

Lost Gold Ring in the Snow Found in Wyandotte Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

As the Midnite Ice…

lay hiding beneath the snowdrifts, Jenny and her friend Lance had no idea about what was going to happen as they ran thru the park after enjoying some refreshments at a local business. As each of them formed snowballs, Jenny threw first and while doing so slipped on that hidden ice and fell into a snowdrift. As Lance pulled her up, by time they got to the car, she noticed her ring missing. The ring is a family heirloom from her grandmother. Being past midnite, they called me when it was daylight and we agreed to meet. I fired up my icebreaker MXT metal detector and started a grid search from where Jenny started to run and where she fell down. It wasn’t long before the MXT signaled on a non-ferrous metal item thru the snow. Brushing the snow away with my pin pointer metal detector and a few inches into the snowdrift revealed Jenny’s ring! Handing the ring to Jenny produced smiles on both their faces that would have melted that ice had they stayed longer, but they didn’t! Now Jenny’s glad she’s not on slippery ground anymore…or on thin ice with her grandmother!

Lost hearing aid in grass in Deland, Florida found with a metal detector by Florida Ring Finder.

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)

Contact me for all your metal detecting and recovery needs! My name is Mike McInroe…Central Florida Ring Finder at 321-363-6029! On land, in the water, the grass, sand, in cars, in homes…rings, keys, phones, property markers, etc.

Randy called me after losing one of his very expensive hearing aids. Apparently while out walking his dog…along came one of his neighbors with their own dog and the two dogs got into it! In the midst of the chaos Randy felt one of his hearing aids come off of his ear and he tried to reach for it but it fell into the darkness and landed somewhere in the short brown grass. The next day I met Randy and he showed me the area where he lost his hearing aid. I set out four plastic cones and began my systematic grid search…overlapping on each pass to be sure I would not miss such a small target. (Randy had his other hearing aid and my metal detector was able to get a decent signal off of it so I had a really good idea of what sort of signal and the exact numbers to concentrate on…which really helped allot!) About 20 minutes later I got the signal I was looking for and I called Randy over and let him retrieve his lost hearing aid.

Lost something recently or even years ago and need my help? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk!

It is always a pleasure helping someone in need of a ring finders service. How can I help you?

Mike McInroe…Thankful to God for TRFers

Car key fob lost and found Belleville Ontario

Contact:

Received a message from Brianna about her husband having lost a whole bunch of keys, including their car key fob, while clearing a drive way with a snowblower. His key chain broke while clearing snow the night before. Met up with her and she confirmed she was missing a car key fob and an appartement key fob as well. After looking at where the snow had been thrown in the yard by snowblower, I started detecting/gridding the area and soon found a couple set of keys that she wasn’t even aware went missing. Eventually, 2 key fobs and 2 set of keys were recovered. Disaster averted and another happy ending. Life is good!

Lost Sterling Silver Thumbprint Ring Found in Wooster, Ohio!

  • from Wooster (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

Saturday morning I woke up to a missed call and text from Chris. The text said he had lost a ring in Wooster, Ohio and asked if I’d be interested in helping him recover it. I messaged him immediately and he called me right back. His wife had been cleaning snow off her car the night before and the ring flung off. He explained that the ring had tremendous sentimental value, as they had lost their son a few years back and this was a memory ring they’d had made through the funeral home with their son’s thumbprint on it. They had searched the car and the immediate area, but no luck. He called around to several friends to inquire if anyone had a metal detector and then he did a little searching online and found The Ring Finders. Within the hour we arrived at Chris’s house. He showed us where she’d been parked the night before and we got to work. There was a lot of interference, with the driveway, porch steps and a drainage pipe all within the tight search area. After the first couple of swings, I switched my Deus to a modified “fast” program and within two minutes I located the ring about two feet from the driveway and two inches from the drainage pipe! Chris rushed in to get his wife, who did not know we had found it yet. She came out to the garage and, as he was introducing us, I handed her the ring. The look on her face was priceless as she grasped the ring and held it to her chest, thanking us. This is why we do what we do! That look, that moment…there is nothing like it! The whole thing (from initial contact to handing her the ring) took less than an hour, but that moment will last forever!

The ring as found!The ring!The ring and its owner!

On the bus ride home to San Bernardino,CA. He could not find his ring. He believed it must be on the beach where he had been all day. It was impossible to return to search for the ring. They were almost home, 50 miles from the beach.

After returning home he was able to get on his computer, getting ideas on how to find a ring lost in the sand. While searching the web, he got my contact information. He gave me detailed verbal information of where he was on the beach, near 4 trash cans.

I traveled 5 miles to Crystal Cove State beach, found the location, Jose described .. ( 4 trash cans ) .. Within 30 minutes of grid searching with my Minelab Manticore metal detector, I had Jose’s precious silver ring in my sand scoop. Jose was able to meet me a few days later to pick up his ring.

Lost 2 White Gold Rings Bridal Set w/ Diamonds in the Snow Found in Taylor Michigan

The Tip of the Iceberg……

Presented itself when a more than predicted snowfall drop Wednesday afternoon in southeast Michigan took everyone by surprise, especially newly married Jacob and his wife. While dodging sleet as they walked into the shopping mall Jacob tripped and fell onto the snow. As his wife helped him back on his feet, she dusted him off but after they got into the store, she noticed her ring was missing. They put on ice what they came for and rushed back outside to the snow-covered area of the fall. The sound of snowplow blades on the pavement had them frozen in fear but Jacob had ice in his veins and tried to find the ring by moving some snow around, but that cut no ice. Jake called his dad to take his wife home, and I asked Jacob on the phone if he could remain there and try to keep the plows at bay until I arrived. That seemed to work, as the area was unscraped when I started to search with my MXT metal detector. Scanning over the small piles of snow a familiar signal came thru and moving the veil of snow above the signal revealed what was really hiding beneath the tip of the iceberg…..the missing ring! Overwhelmed with excitement from getting beyond the surface of the lost ring, Jacob feels this is the beginning of a great year and many more for him and his wife, and that’s the icing on the cake!
