Lost and found Key fob in Trenton Ontario

Contact:

Received a text from Dylan about him having lost his key fob, and other important keys, while shovelling a driveway couple days ago (he is looking after his friend’s property while they are away on vacation). After shovelling about four feet wide along the driveway, he noticed that the key fob was missing from his jacket. After looking extensively for it with no luck, Dylan’s brother showed up with spare key fob so he could at least drive back home. He went back the next day to look for it again, with no luck, and finish shovelling the rest of the driveway. I met up with him today and after listening to what had happened, he was sure the keys would be on the left end side of the driveway, in the snow bank. Long story short, keys ended up being found in the snow bank on the right side of the driveway. Another happy ending, considering how expensive it is to replace key fobs and multiple other keys. Life is good!

Lost 24K Gold Wedding Ring at Four Seasons Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a call from Four Seasons Beach Team informing me that one of their guests who was on vacation from Oakland, California and lost his 24K Gold Wedding band in the lagoon and wanted to know if I could recover it.  I said “Of course” and to give that guest my number and I could coordinate the recovery.  He called and told me he was swimming on his back in about 4 feet of water and his Wedding Ring slipped off and disappeared into the murky water.  High surf has been pounding our west coast and stirring up the Ko Olina lagoons.  I told him I would arrive the next morning at the low tide which would be around 10am.  I arrived a bit early and discovered another detectorist on the beach.  The beach team told him he couldn’t be there, at the same time I was arriving.  His name was Paul, nice guy,  just read the rules online wrong.  I did direct him to Paradise Cove beach which is open to all detectors.  I counted out the umbrellas the ring should be straight out from and entered the water a little right of that to create a grid search.  I went out to neck deep water turned left.  I took two steps and Boom screaming high tone.  Four scoops later in the murky water and finally the heavy 24K gold ring was in the scoop.  I went back to my car to text a pic and he confirmed.  I went back to the Four Seasons Beach entry for the return.  Another one for the book of smiles.  Aloha!

Lost Gold Ring in the Snow Found in St. Clair Shores Michigan

Frosty Dog Fred….

Loves the snow, so just the other night Derek let him out in the yard to do dog stuff. Well, more time passed as usual, so Derek looked out and didn’t see Fred. Derek went out and found Fred hiding out in about a foot of snow. Reaching for him thinking something was wrong Fred bolted off and started to zigzag thru more snow. By time Derek got him back inside he noticed his ring missing. With my MXT metal detector I started a simple grid search thru the deep snow and got a great signal. Pinpointing down thru the snow revealed Derek’s ring partially frozen to the top of the grass. Carefully removing it I placed it in Derek’s hand to thaw. Excited to have his ring back he decided next time to handle things differently with frosty dog Fred….should he decide to play opossum again!

Wedding Ring found at Narragansett Town Beach, RI

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Eric who lost his ring in the sand while he was sitting on a blanket on the beach. He told me that the ring had special meaning because he bought it while on vacation in Greece, and it couldn’t be replaced.  I explained that I had hurt my back, and it was difficult for me to metal detect.  However, after hearing how much it meant to him, I decided to give it a try.  When I told my wife, Jeanne, she knew I would not be able to metal detect due to my injury and suggested that I bring my daughter, Emily, in case I needed help with the search.  By the time I walked from the car to the beach, I was in too much pain to walk any further and had to sit down.  Luckily, we had brought a beach chair in case I needed it.  I told my daughter that she was going to have to search for the ring.  Emily went with Eric to where he had been sitting on the beach and found the lost ring in the sand in five minutes.  I was happy that I followed my wife’s suggestion and brought my daughter along.  Thank you, Emily, for coming through for me.  Eric was thrilled to have his ring back!

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! 

Khaliya and her ring with Celeste!

The ring, close up!

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:



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!
