I have been metal detecting for a number of years. Early on, my mother lost her earring in the backyard of my childhood home. She immediately called me and asked if I could help find it. It was a yellow gold hoop earring. She had been in the garden, pruning her shrubs and pulling weeds in her flower beds. I searched and searched, even returning multiple times – but never found that earring. She sent the other earring she still had to my sister to try to find another pair as a replacement for a Christmas gift. Fast forward 3-4 years … and while at my son’s soccer game, she lost one of the new earrings. Could I redeem myself this second time and find the lost earring and return it to my mother? After about 5 mins of searching, we found it. My mom was very happy and rewarded us with a nice batch of chocolate covered peanut butter balls – a family favorite.

I was contacted by Jasmine regarding her lost engagement ring, she said her ring had been lost in front lawn at her home. Jasmine said she was getting married in two weeks, and was desperate and needed help finding her ring.
Jasmine advised her engagement ring had accidentally been dropped out the second floor window of her residence. Jasmine said her fiancé Anthony had been shaken out a dirty towel from the second story window unaware that her new engagement ring was in the towel.
Jasmine said she and Anthony had searched the lawn on their hand and knees but could not find her lost ring. Anthony said the following day he purchased a metal detector at Academy, but being unfamiliar with it’s operation he was again unsuccessful at finding the lost ring.
Jasmine said the next day she found The Ring Finders on the internet and placed the call!

I made the short trip over to Anthony and Jasmine’s residence this afternoon and was given a first hand account of how the ring was lost. The search area was relatively small and the recovery was quite quick. The smiles tell the story!

Got a call this weekend from a guy whose wife lost both of her rings while doing yard work. He found one of the rings, but couldn’t find the other. The area was a flower bed that they had recently cleared of brush, and then spread a bale of straw. It was a real life needle in a haystack! We quickly started looking when we got there, first scanning the hay with our handheld metal detector. Nothing. Then I detected the grassy area around the flower bed. Got a couple of hits that were deeper, got a hit on a piece of metal … then the sweet sound of gold. Check out the full story below on my website, www.LostandFoundRing.com.

Lost Engagement Ring in Crosby, Texas (found) by John Volek
I was contacted by Amanda on 10-18-2015 regard ring her lost engagement ring in a field near some new home construction. Amanda said while she and her fiancé were out looking at some new homes in Crosby her new engagement ring must had fallen off her finger. Amanda said she and her fiancé had been searching for her lost ring for several days, but had no luck conducting a visual search of the area. Amanda said on the third day they purchased a new metal detector and spent several more hours hunting for her lost ring.
Amanda said they were pretty sure of the area where the ring was lost, describing it as a grassy area along side of a road. Amanda felt the ring had slipped of after they parked and exited their vehicle to look at the new homes.
I made arrangements to meet Amanda on Monday 10-19-2015 to search for her lost engagement ring in Crosby.
The search area was a grassy drainage ditch along side of the main roadway into the subdivision. Amanda said she was sure she had had the ring on her finger after exiting the vehicle. Unfortunately, even in this new subdivision the grassy ditch was littered with small aluminum targets, like every 12 inches. It was a really difficult and time consuming search, but we prevailed.

Karen called earlier today to ask if I would be able to help her find her ring she believed she lost in her yard. She explained that she had been busy reconditioning the yard for the garden that they grow. She had spread out a lot of manure, and then covered that with 4 to 6 inches of hay, which was to be roto tilled into the soil. When she was done she realized the ring was missing. I was available, and we arranged to meet after she got off work, about 4 hours later. One thing I knew, was that because it may have been lost in her yard, it wasn’t going anywhere, so the need to be there quickly wasn’t necessary.
When I got there, a bit early, Karen pulled in about the same time. She came right over, because my vehicle was not familiar, so she figured I was The Ring Finder she had called. She showed me the yard, and I could see it was thoroughly covered with hay, and could smell the pungent smell of the manure which was underneath the hay. I fired up my detector with the standard coil, and proceeded to go over the yard. It wasn’t long before I realized a problem. The ground was infested with iron, which caused the detector to mask out anything in range of the coil. I went over the whole yard only finding one piece of aluminum. I then switched over to my 6 inch coil knowing its ability to recover better than the standard coil, and proceeded to detect the yard again. I swung about 3 times, right where I had swung before when that unmistakable sound of gold rang in my headphones. I pulled out my pinpointer and worked the area, finding Karen’s ring about 4 to 5 inches down. A pinpointer was a necessity especially because the ring color was almost the same as the hay it was buried in. Karen had been in another area of the yard when I made the recovery, so when she came back I mentioned that the ground was infested with iron which made it hard to hunt. She agreed that it was probably going to be difficult, and then I held up the ring to show her. It was then she beamed with a very contagious smile.
Karen explained that this ring was her mom’s mother’s ring, so it had some deep sentimental value to her, and the thought of losing it was not a joyful occasion. I was happy to reunite Karen with this reminder of her mom, and leave her with a great smile.

Kyle was installing fencing at a new home, and just for safety he put his 14k diamond wedding ring in his pocket so as not to lose it. On his way home he went to his pocket to put the ring back on, and it was missing. He checked out the W.W.W. found The Ringfinders, and gave me a call, I responded within 30 minutes and found the ring 2 inches deep in the dirt by a fencepost. His concern was that it could have been anywhere on site, or even in the concrete around the post`s. Another happy customer.
Lost Texas A&M Ring at Crystal Beach, Texas (Found)
10-12-2015
I received the following e-mail today:
My wife lost her Aggie ring today about 7pm in about four to five feet of water today about thirty or so yards from the beach. I have no idea if it’s even feasible to look in the surf like that but I figured I would try. We are staying at 1109 Blue Water in Crystal Beach. If you are willing to look please let me know. Thank you for your time.
Zachary
I have worked Crystal Beach before knowing it is located on the Bolivar Peninsula, just east of Galveston, and only accessible from the west by ferry boat. The ferry boat during the peak season can be a nightmare one often has to wait in line for hours to get to the other side. I was glad we were in the off-season.
I called Zachary back and he explained how his wife Paula had lost her Texas A&M Graduate Ring in the Surf on Crystal Beach. Zachary said he had a very good idea of where the ring had landed in the water. Zachary said he had made some marking on the sand to maintain the drop location in the water. In short, great job Zachary, this was the main factor in the recovery.
Zachary sent a few pictures of the beach and sand markings illustrating the ring drop zone in the water. Zachary and I made plans to meet early the next morning on Crystal Beach to search for the ring.
Back to the ferry boat discussion, cost me an hour each way, with little or no traffic, not sure what the ferry boat guys are up to?
I pulled onto the beach with the provided instructions and knew I was in the right spot. I immediately saw a large tent shade with the Texas A&M logo printed on the roof. Zachary and Paula quickly laid out the ground work, and we set out to find her lost ring.
The beach at Bolivar Peninsula took the brunt of Hurricane IKE, and restoration-rebuilding was evident with several nice new homes at the shoreline.
Zachary walked out into the water and set the perimeter for where we needed to conduct the search. I worked the grid east to west, pulling up a few deep targets, just didn’t want to make a mistake and miss the ring. I reset my search and started working north to south and hit the ring on the second pass.

This hunt started on July 14th 2015 when I offered ring finder services to a craigslist ad for a lost ring at Hale Koa Beach in Waikiki. David agreed and met me on the beach the next day. Not being positively sure David assumed his ring was lost while he was body surfing in large waves at Hale Koa Beach. The waves were strong enough to throw him up onto the sand so the best guess is when he used his hands to break his fall somehow and at some point it came off. I started my search in the wave bench and then moved out to chest deep water. A few insignificant targets but no ring. After covering the area thoroughly with no success David and I searched the area where they were on the beach and a few transit points back to the hotel but nothing. I told David there was a possibility the ring was at a depth I couldn’t detect but that the sand moves a lot here and the ring would eventually settle out in the wave bench if it in fact was lost while crashing on the beach sand. I’ve gone through the area 3-4 times and finally Tuesday night 6 October I got a solid but faint target in the wave bench. Six scoops later and low and behold there was David’s Rose Gold Wedding band. Wow! My theory was actually correct and thankfully we had some strong surf the night before that probably removed just enough sand for the Excalibur to detect the ring. It was at least 10-12 inches down in the wave bench sand. That’s a record depth for me. I emailed then called David that evening with a picture of the ring. Obviously he was pleasantly surprised. The ring is in the mail back to David in Las Vegas, Nevada. He still owes me a picture with a smile which I’m sure to get soon. Never give up! How no other detectorist in Waikiki didn’t find this ring leads me to believe it may have been divine intervention. Aloha to David.
I was contacted early last week by a lady who had lost her platinum diamond engagement ring back in February. She had been feeding the ducks when she lost the ring in the lake. She tried herself to find it and also another detectorist searched, but with no luck.
We arranged a day and off I went to meet her and her husband in Leicestershire. We were blessed with good weather , and after a short drive to the lake, her husband and I were in the lake. Me with detector and scoop, and her husband helping with another scoop. All I was finding was the occasional modern coin and just one piece of foil, a very clean lake I thought.
About three hours into the search and I hadn’t left the water, but I did not feel like giving up just yet. Then I started to get a signal with a very strong iron signal close by caused by the steel reinforcement in a concrete slipway. This was very annoying and quite off putting, there was also quite a lot of algae constantly clinging to my search coil. I noticed when I was moving the algae the signal would move, so the target had to be close. Put my hand in where the target was as I was now getting a double signal so it had to be just under the coil….out it came! “is this your ring” holding it up to attract her attention. She jumped up and ran over, she was so very happy to have that ring back . ” I’m not feeding the ducks ever again” she said.
Her face just said it all! She could not believe it and neither could I. It made my week knowing I had reunited a lovely couple with their engagement ring.
It was a great challenge for me, as water is not my favoured detecting environment. So bring on the next one!
