Lost White Gold Wedding in Hillyard Washington…..Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

There are not many reasons a husband would forget about his lost wedding ring. However, for Breydon, the new addition to his family caused a three-week pause from the time his wedding ring was lost. Then after that brief hiatus from looking for his ring, Breydon called The Ring Finders to help with the search. Following Breydon into the backyard I spotted two very playful kitty cats. While swinging my detector over the grass where Breydon was performing his workout, the kitty cats were playing and investigating my every move. This was an added distraction to the already challenging ground. The number of targets that lurked below the dirt kept my pin pointer buzzing. Each target mimicked the sound of a lost ring. I must have walked over Breydon’s rings a few times mistaking it for a large signal of buried rubbish. Nevertheless, a Ring Finder is there to uncover all targets to eliminate the possibility of missing the lost item. So, repeating my grid search over that spotty signal, allowed my pin pointer to take a break. The dried grass from Breydon’s mower bag was keeping the ring safe and sound inside of it, until I came along to liberate it from its hiding place. As I handed Breydon his ring back, it ended the three-week long torturing that he was going through. It is truly amazing that we get to be a part of an individual’s life story, and for Breydon, the birth of his daughter received one more happy detail to the already joyous event.

LOST GOLD HEIRLOOM CLASS RING IN DURHAM, NC…..FOUND!!!

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

I received a text from a young man at Duke University. He stated he lost a family heirloom class ring. I told him I’d come out tonight and see if I could find it.

I get there and get the story. He was playing frisbee and threw it awkwardly when he felt the ring fly off but didn’t see where it landed.

I start my search and in about 20 mins I found the lost ring in the area of about where he felt it had to have landed. It was found based on the information provided.

I asked him if he could share the history of the ring.

This is a short story of the ring:

“The ring was from my great uncle’s high school graduation in 1953. He later became an army officer and passed away from his service before I was born (I was named after him).

It was then given to my uncle, who passed away, then to my dad who gave it to my sister, who passed it to me. It’s now been in our family for 73 years.”

I was so glad this one was found and returned! All ring recoveries are important, but the sentimental and heriloom ones are the most rewarding.

TheRingFinders.com – Brad Trogdon locates survey (property) markers preventing significant fees.

  • from Winston-Salem (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On Wednesday observed on a local social media post someone asking, “does anyone have a metal detector in the area” with no additional details.  I responded that I did and asked how I may assist.  The author responded introducing himself as Corey and said he needed to locate property line markers.  He also advised his neighbor had recently had a survey company locate theirs at a significant cost.  I advised that I was out of county but available Friday. We arranged to meet around 8:30 Friday morning.

Prior to Friday I researched the address on the local Tax GIS and register of deeds to obtain plat details and Property details. I quickly learned of the acreage involved and that over a dozen corners were possibly in play.

Arrived Friday morning and Corey detailed he was replacing a fence and only needed to locate four markers along the driveway and one was already found.  The exposed marker was what is referred to as a PK Nail.  It was driven into the drive way edge and he had painted so it was very visible.  Next closest marker labeled on plat map as EIP (Existing Iron Pipe)  This was  little difficult as metal detecting we found two short pieces (total of 6 Inches together) that appeared to be from the iron Pipe marker.  We measured from the PK Nail and its placement appeared to be under where a brick column stood. 🙁  Moved on to locate the EIP (Existing Iron Pipe) that marked property line at the road right-of-way  ~600 yards west from PK Nail.   Was able to quickly locate the Iron Pipe and a PK Nail inches away (Pictured).  Assume this PK Nail was placed by other than the original survey.  Forth and final property marker was marked as DH (Drilled Hole) on plat map along a stream.  Deed detailed that this marker was an Iron Pipe placed in the center of “unnamed stream”.  This was ~600 yards to the east of our initial PK Nail.  Drove to the stream and as walking up Corey said  “I know what that spot is now”  pointing to a 24″ concrete tile that had a hole drilled with an orange cap placed inside the hole. (Pictured)  Yes!  this I am sure was placed by surveys in modern times after the tiles were placed to create ability to drive across stream.

Successful morning!  This assignment was a welcomed challenge although not recovering precious ring or jewelry it illustrates how  TheRingFinders.com was able to assist resulting in preventing significant fees.

Thank you Corey for allowing me to assist you in this hunt.

Lost White Gold and Diamonds Wedding Band at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This Ring find began when I got a text from Stanley who was on vacation from Irvine, California and staying at the Aulani Resort.  He texted, “Hello my friend.  I need your service. I lost me ring at the Aulani hotel.”  I immediately called and Stanley told me he was standing in 3 feet of water and “It just slide off!”  He was leaving the next morning so I agreed to come first light and hopefully find his ring before they had to depart for the airport.  The pics Stanley provided gave me excellent info to create a grid search.  Facing the lagoon I worked from right to left.  About 5 minutes into the search coming down the wet sand slope I got a booming 49-50 on the Manticore and on the second scoop there was Stanley’ stunning ring in the scoop.  I ran back to my car to call Stanley and give him the good news.  We met on Aulani’s boardwalk for the return.  Thank you Brother! was his response and he was obviously relieved to be going home with his ring on his finger.  Thank you Jesus for the perfect timing!

Lost Ring Found in Hammond, Louisiana Yard – Persistence Pays Off

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

This week I got a call from a homeowner in Hammond, Louisiana who had lost a ring somewhere in her yard. She had already brought out another member from TheRingFinders, but unfortunately, the ring still hadn’t been found.

When I arrived, the first thing I did was ask her to walk me through exactly where the previous search had taken place. She showed me the area, and I decided to re-check it myself just to be sure. After covering that section thoroughly with my detector and turning up nothing, I felt confident eliminating that area entirely.

That’s actually a big advantage in these recoveries, once an area has been properly searched (especially twice), you can shift your focus and start thinking differently about where the ring could be.

I expanded the search, working left and right into adjacent areas of the yard, but still no signal. At that point, I decided to take a long shot.

There was a trampoline in the yard, and I moved to the opposite side which was much farther out than the homeowner thought the ring could have traveled. Using my orange flag marking technique, I began systematically grid-searching the area to eliminate ground efficiently and avoid overlap.

Sure enough… a solid signal.

Just like that, the ring was sitting in the grass on the far side of the trampoline which was well outside the originally searched zone.

Another successful recovery in Louisiana, and another reminder that these items often end up farther than expected.

If you’ve lost a ring or valuable item, don’t assume it’s gone, sometimes it just takes a different approach and a little persistence to bring it back.

White Gold Diamond Wedding Ring Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Litchfield Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Shortly before 5 p.m. on April 15, 2026, I received a phone call from Amy saying she lost her ring. She described the Wedding Ring, and I told her I could be there in about 55 minutes to an hour. Enroute, I called her to get more details on how and where she lost it. She explained that she had put her ring in the cup holder of her chair so she could apply suntan lotion. When she packed up to leave the beach, she forgot the ring. She said that she didn’t realize it was missing until she got back to her Condo. As I’m driving, she sent me a text asking, “Do you think we can find it?” I responded, “Yes, if you put me in the right area, we’ll find it!”

When I arrived at the gated resort, I had to get Amy on the phone so the gate guard would let me enter. I kept Amy on the phone, and she steered me to where she was waiting. We walked out on the beach, and she showed me a group of sticks stuck in the sand showing about where she had been sitting. Unfortunately, there was a couple just a few feet away and basically sitting in the search area. Amy must have told the couple what was going on, so they were happy to leave. Amy also mentioned that the ring could have fallen out of the cup holder on her way to the access. I started an east/west grid search about where Amy had put the sticks and worked my way out on all sides. Since Amy told me her ring was white gold, I knew the VDI (visual display indicator) was going to be in the 9 to 11 range, or there about. As I moved closer to the access point, I got a solid 11 on the VDI. I looked down and saw a little edge of what appeared to be a white gold piece of metal. I reached down and pulled out Amy’s beautiful ring. She was standing about 20 feet away, near where she had me start, when I held her ring up. She couldn’t believe it was found and just stood there. I think she said, “Is that my ring?” It took her about 2 seconds to close the distance and retrieve her ring. What a smile I got. It’s moments like this that make it all worthwhile!

Amy – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help find your lost treasure. All the best to you!

Metal detector rental finds lost engagement ring in bushes, Groveland Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



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, jewelry, keys, phones, property markers and more!

Mrs Lauren was standing in her front yard after sunset enjoying the cool Florida night air when her cat quietly walked up behind her and brushed against the back of her leg and startled her and made her jump. No big deal right? Wrong!! Well it just so happened that she was fiddling with her diamond ring and when she jumped she accidentally flung her ring off to one side and into the thick bushes and heavy mulch. She had a fairly good idea “about” where it went so she got her good flashlight and enlisted the help of her son to try and find it…but the longer they looked the more frustrated and desperate Mrs Lauren became. She had a hand held Nokta Pulse dive scuba detector but that just seemed to beep all the time…picking up the aluminum down spout, yard lights and other metal objects. It was getting late when she found theringfinders.com web site and my number and she decided to give me a call. We made arrangements to meet the next day and after showing me where she was standing it only took…literally… seconds to find the perfect beep that read a #61 on my Deus 2 metal detector and there was Lauren’s lost engagement ring hidden deep in the soft leaves and mulch! What an honor it was to hand her ring back to her and see the relief and joy on her face! Quietly I thanked God for helping me so quickly find and return her lost engagement ring!
How can I help you? Call, text or leave a message and let’s talk!

Annita was about 45miles away and couldn’t get to the location until later. I was able to leave immediately because the landmarks she gave me were very clear. By 7:30 am I had found both wedding rings . We met later that morning to hand Annita her beautiful sentimental rings.

Lost Wedding Ring – Found Wedding Ring near Marble Falls

Lost Diamond Wedding Ring Recovered at Camp near Marble Falls

Marble Falls, Texas — A cherished diamond wedding ring that went missing during a weekend at Camp has been successfully recovered, thanks to the professional metal detecting expertise of Chris Dean, a member of TheRingFinders.com.

Terri, who had been attending activities at the camp, realized her ring was missing. By carefully retracing her steps after reviewing photos that showed it on her finger earlier in the day, and absent later, she was able to narrow the search to a few specific locations within the camp.

After securing permission from camp officials, arrangements were made for a targeted search. Traveling approximately 350 miles, Terri and her husband met with Chris who also traveled to the Marble Falls from Kerrville. Chris determined the most likely location of the loss to be the camp’s volleyball court—an area that had already been searched unsuccessfully by the camp using basic equipment.

Within minutes of beginning the search, a signal from Chris’ Garrett AT Pro metal detector indicated a promising target. On the very first pass through the sand and after digging a single hole, the missing diamond wedding ring was recovered.

“When an item holds as much meaning as a wedding ring, every effort matters,” said the recovery specialist. “While luck played a role in the quick find, the successful recovery ultimately came down to experience, proper technique, and professional-grade equipment.”

This incident highlights the importance of using skilled professionals for valuable item recovery. Attempting to locate lost items with basic or rental equipment can often lead to missed opportunities.

For those facing similar situations, contacting an experienced metal detecting professional with TheRingFinders.com can make all the difference in recovering treasured possessions.
