Wedding Band Lost While Sledding – Found! by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter in Irwin, PA

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I got a call from Don on my way home from Digstock in NC. He lost his wedding ring in his backyard a few months ago and wanted to see if I could come out and look for it. He had looked, even with a metal detector, and did not have any luck. After getting home and checking my schedule I went out the next day.

When I arrived I met Don’s wife and she showed me where to look. Pretty standard, big hill for sledding with a few small trees and a little area of brush. I started to look and before too long Don came back from work. After about a half hour I found his ring in a mossy area a short distance from where he thought he might have lost it. I gave it to his wife to give to him when he came out of the house. He was happy it was found and I took him to the back to show him where. There had been some pretty good sounds in the backyard and Don told me it was an old golf course. He gave me permission to look around which I was very appreciative. On top of finding his ring I added a bit more clad to the collection, nothing good but it was a beautiful day and a new place to look. As always it was nice to meet another kind and generous client and be able to return their ring to them.

Lost wedding ring found on the Soccer Field at West Ranch HS in Valencia

Lost Your Ring in Santa Clarita? How Dave MacDonald, Metal Detecting Expert, Saved Raul’s Wedding Ring
March 10, 2025
Yesterday afternoon, I received an urgent call from Raul, a Valencia resident who had lost his wedding ring at West Ranch High School. Raul plays in a competitive men’s soccer league every Sunday on the school’s grassy field. Usually, his focus is on winning the game, but this time, victory took a backseat—he just wanted his precious wedding ring back. He explained that he’d removed the ring for safekeeping, placing it in or on his bag, only to discover it missing an hour later.
Raul suspected the ring was lost somewhere between two points on the field—a sprawling 200-yard stretch of grass in Valencia. That’s a big area to cover, so I knew I’d need to bring my A-game as Santa Clarita’s trusted metal detecting expert. We arranged to meet on Monday at 3:30 PM, after the school day ended and the field cleared out. Raul and his friend had bought a couple of cheap metal detectors the day before, hoping to find it themselves. I advised him to return them—when it comes to finding lost rings in Santa Clarita, Valencia, Castaic, or Canyon Country, Dave The RingFinder is the name you can trust.
The Search Begins with Dave The RingFinder
We started at the endpoint near where we parked, retracing Raul’s steps from Sunday. I worked slowly and methodically, ensuring no patch of grass was overlooked. Fortunately, the West Ranch HS field in Valencia had minimal trash, so my metal detector stayed quiet—perfect conditions for a focused search. As we progressed, though, time dragged on, and the remaining field shrank. I started to worry: had someone picked up the ring, or worse, had a mower flung it hundreds of feet away, lost forever?
Halfway through, I suggested a new strategy—let’s head to where Raul had originally been on the field and start fresh. He marked off a 30’x30’ area, and I began gridding it out like the metal detecting pro I am, while Raul searched nearby. I dug up 20-30 quarters and dimes—typical finds on a school field—but no gold yet. Doubt crept in. Then, my detector let out a double beep, a low tone that could mean a gold ring… or just another pull-tab. I held my breath, dug down, and there it was—Raul’s wedding ring, gleaming in the grass!
Another Happy Ending Thanks to Dave MacDonald
Raul’s relief was instant—he was out of the doghouse, and his ring was back where it belonged. As I like to say, “God is good!” Another lost ring recovered, right here in Valencia.

A quick night time recovery in Huntington Beach (Sunset Beach)

Contact:

Call Surf City Ring Finder- 714-944-0555

Andrew called me and said his wife took her gold and diamond wedding ring off and set it on her towel only to pick up her towel later and lose it in the sand.

I met Andrew at the beach and he had marked off a large area in the sand and also place a stick near where they were sitting.

I turned on my detector and the first swing I got a 12 on my Equinox 800. This was a first signal recovery and a beautiful ring to boot.

Grandmother’s Heirloom Platinum Wedding Ring Set Recovered and Returned to Owner

  • from Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

** *** Lost Heirloom Platinum Wedding Ring Set at Gainesville, FL.  Found after owners searched for a week with a metal detector, then gave up searching and called a professional Ringfinder**

I received a call from a gentleman who explained his wife lost her heirloom platinum wedding ring set somewhere in their yard. They searched for a week using a metal detector and gave up any hope of finding the rings. They even contacted their insurance company to let them know they were likely going to have to file an insurance claim. His wife found TheRingFinders website and contacted me. Even though they were almost 100 miles from my house, I could tell how distraught they were so I responded to their house for the search.

Please click the video link to see the recovery and their reaction.

 

**TESTIMONIAL**

My wife lost both her wedding band and her engagement ring somewhere in our lawn of thick St. Augustine grass.  We borrowed a friend’s metal detector and searched for over a week with no luck.  It was her grandmother’s diamond and we were distraught. We contacted our insurance company to let them know we were likely going to have to make a claim.  My wife found TheRingFinders.com and we made contact with Adam on a Thursday.  He responded immediately and we made plans for him to travel approximately 200 miles round trip to our home in Gainesville on Sunday.  Adam arrived Sunday morning with enthusiasm and professionalism.  We showed him the area of the yard that we had been searching thoroughly and had given up on, and in less than ten minutes he found both rings.  We were in disbelief, as we had truly given up hope.  Talk about results!  While I hope we never have to call on Adam again, it is reassuring to know that he is out there helping people like us with his kindness and experience.  I would 100% recommend Adam.  Thank you very much, Adam.

LOST GOLD HEIRLOOM DIAMOND RING IN YORK, SC………FOUND!!!

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

Received a text yesterday from a young lady stating she had lost her grandmothers ring in her yard about a year ago while doing yard work, taking her gloves off to play with her dogs.

She also stated they were about to move and wanted me to come see if I could find it before they moved. I tell her I’ll be there at 8:00 am!

I get there at 8:00 am, we talked for a few mins to get the story and locations to search pointed out. She felt it was in the backyard, but mentioned a small area in the front where it might be.

I got my gear and searched the front first. Done in about 5 mins, it wasn’t there. We then move to the backyard. While she was putting her dogs away, I started walking towards the area she mentioned. As she’s walking back, past me and my very first signal, I get a signal not too deep. Using my digging tool, I see shiny heart with a diamond pop out of the dirt!

It was found! This is what I enjoy the most about being on this website! I don’t care how far I have to drive to help someone find their priceless lost items!

“DIG IT ALL, SAVE SOME RINGS & BURY THE DRAMA!”

Family Crest Signet Ring Lost at Santa Monica or Venice Beach California

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

   


Conor called me for help. If you need advice or metal detecting service, call or text me.. Stan the metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136


***  I was asked to help Coner to find his lost gold family crest ring in the sand at a Santa Monica Beach. He is an avid rugby player and has weekly beach rugby  tournaments near home.

I met him on the beach in Santa Monica. He showed me an area that the ring could be. Coner said he normally puts his watch and ring in his shoe that are not worn while playing. After the game he only had the watch in the shoe. He believed it was possible that he didn’t remove his ring before playing the game. I searched the whole area and could not find the ring.

A week later Coner called, telling me that he was reviewing videos of a practice he did a few days before the tournament. The video showed the ring on his finger. It actually showed the ring missing after he had passed the rugby ball. The video actually showed a black spot in the air that could be the ring.

I agreed to meet Coner at Venice beach, a mile from the original location. He sent me the video clip which made me feel we had a chance to find his ring. At least we could grid search the area to prove it wasn’t there.

This turned out to be worth the two trips across town. The Gold Ring was still in the sand after lost for more than a week. This search was much shorter than the first search because the video had a lifeguard tower 30 or 40 ft. from where the ring came off. Landmarks and videos do help to make searches successful.

……………………………………………………

Many Searches are unique. It’s important to ask the right questions when someone asks for help. Even though they are positive what and where the loss happened, they may not put you in the location of the loss.

First unsuccessful search was a mile from where the ring was eventually found a week later after Coner’s friend had reviewed the rugby practice video and he called me to get my opinion.

Gold diamond wedding ring lost inside Airbnb, found by Florida Ring Finder…Kissimmee, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Prompt Metal Detecting Service available now…Mike the Florida Ring Finder is here to help you in your time of need! Call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Kennedy and her family were spending some vacation time here in sunny Florida at an Airbnb when early Sunday morning her young 2 year old daughter decided to collect her mom’s rings and hide them throughout the house. When Kennedy woke up she found one of her diamond rings on the kitchen floor and the other one tucked snugly in a corner of her daughters bed blankets. And the diamond wedding ring was no where to be found. Kennedy was beginning to feel desperate knowing they only had a few more days of vacation before heading back home to Michigan. Later that evening she typed into Google “Help me find my ring” and up popped one of my successful ring recovery stories and she sent me a text asking for my help. House searches are not always easy and thankfully there were a lot less toys and cloths and furniture and shoes, etc to look through being as it is a vacation rental. I started in the kitchen and using a very strong flashlight I searched carefully making my way to the 5 bedrooms upstairs…checking bathrooms and closets, under beds and in blankets. An hour and a half later I made my way downstairs and began in the laundry room where there were piles of cloths and suitcases. Ten minutes later…BINGO! There, behind a large suitcase, simply hiding down by the baseboard was Kennedy’s lost diamond wedding ring! Kennedy writes,”Mike and theringfinders are so kind and are life savers. Being from out of town on vacation, I had a limited time to find my wedding ring after my toddler hid it in our Airbnb. Mike was so helpful and found it within two hours. I am so thankful!”

Kennedy and her mother were so delighted and were beaming from ear to ear, saying how thankful they were for my help. How I thank God for allowing me to find her ring and to help bring relief and joy to their hearts!

Have you lost something and need help? Call or text me ASAP at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!
Mike McInroe…looking for an opportunity to help you!

How to find a lost ring in a Ball Pit amusement center! (Fort Greene, Brooklyn)

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)
Contact:

If you lost jewelry or valuables – call me right away! 646-235-8797

I have to admit, I was a little bummed when I got the call to turn around because they had found their ring. This looked like it was going to be an epicly fun search! But hey, I’m thrilled for this newly engaged couple—nothing like a happy ending (even if it means I didn’t get to dive into a sea of plastic balls). I ended up just providing guidance and mental support…

From the pictures, you can see the ball pit in all its chaotic glory, including the bottom. It seems like there wasn’t much metal to interfere, so this might have been an easy find. Might have been. I guess I’ll never know… unless fate (or another slippery ring) leads me to another ball pit adventure.

The baby picture is just for fun! lol

On the bright side, Josh told me to keep my come-out fee, so at least my disappointment was softened by a little silver lining.

Wishing this couple a lifetime of happiness—and hopefully, no more lost jewelry!

Lost Wedding Ring Rescued in the Snow in Luxemburg Casco

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

 

Frank lost a wedding ring…and not just any wedding ring. This ring belonged to his father. Frank’s father passed away when he was 10 years old, and his sister was seven. Neither of them at their age could comprehend that their dad was gone and not coming back. Their mother passed away in 2021 from cancer. She gave Frank his father’s wedding ring a week before she died. Inscribed inside the 18K gold ring was “Always with you, Love Mom and Dad”.

Frank was repairing a utility box on Monday, February 17th, 2025, damaged by a vehicle sliding off the snowy road into the ditch. He took off his left glove and hastily raised his arm so the sleeve of the jacket would come down on his arm. While he did this activity with some force, the ring popped off his finger and into the snow.

He looked for the ring on Monday and Tuesday without success. He went online and Googled “somebody that finds rings in Green Bay”. Fellow RingFinder, Tom Caldie’s name appeared at the top of the page. Frank reached out to him Tuesday evening. I spoke with Tom about the search on Tuesday evening and wished him luck finding the ring. Tom called me after the search on Wednesday evening and mentioned spending about three and a half hours searching without success. Tom gave Frank my contact information to see if I would give it a try since he was leaving town for the weekend.

Frank contacted me, and I agreed to meet at 11:00 AM on Saturday at the location where the ring was lost. Frank was not one to give up, especially for this ring. He was prepared to shovel snow with two of his friends using a large deep fryer used to boil turkeys in peanut oil, then let the snow melt, allowing the ring to appear.

Tom had left his detector with Frank to use, and his friend Drew was using it while Frank went back to his house and retrieve a lighter and propane tank to use the deep fryer. I had to change settings on my machine a few times due to electromagnetic interference from the underground power lines…lots of chatter, and it was very tough to hear solid tones. I searched in areas Tom had not detected and could easily see, looking at the snow that was not trampled down. I found the ring about 10 feet away at twelve o’clock or right in front of where Frank was standing when he raised his arm in about six inches of the fluffy white stuff. Frank and his other friend Jesse were unloading more equipment from the vehicle, ready to get some exercise. When they came near the utility box in the ditch, Drew and I planted the ring near a near the deep fryer. Frank was ecstatic the ring was found. The picture above shows a smile not coming off his face for a long time…from one Marine helping another Marine…Semper Fi
