Neighborhood Yard Sale’s……

Do indeed have some valuable trinkets. Every so often someone’s trash really is a treasure. Ladonna, her mom and nearby residents got all their stuff together to have a quick go at selling. It was towards evening of the sale that LaDonna noticed her ring missing. A panic attack started to develop, wondering where it may be since she was moving between homes carrying things all day. Did it fall off into one of the trays or bags of clothes for sale and someone took it? I told her the best I can do is help search thru what bags/containers were left and metal detect the ground. While she checked the remaining sale containers, I started to grid search where she remembers walking. I didn’t get any signals from next door but 3 doors down I got a signal in the grass that matched where a ring of this type should read on the metal detector meter. I thought what’s the chance of this being her ring.? As some trash items do hover in this meter range, if this was a trash signal could it really be treasure?….as the saying goes. Reaching thru the grass I couldn’t believe what I was about to pull up….it was her ring! A gorgeous specimen as the diamonds were sparkling with fire, truly a fine piece! I immediately called her and said I had a question about a HOT ITEM found 3 doors down, she thought I got sidetracked with sale items on the table and wasn’t looking for her ring and appeared upset. That changed quickly when I had her reach into the grass and pull up her ring! She was speechless and I thought she was going to pass out from excitement. She laughed when I said I’ve struck gold at a yard sale, what kind of price can you put on that?

Tug of War…..

……So having missed the international tug of war day on Feb. 19th, Brendan and Sara’s dog Charlie decided on Father’s Day to get some practice in before the national tug of war day in August. Little does Charlie know that the tug of war day is for people…but he doesn’t care, he just wants to be included in any type of play and had been watching them go back and forth with the rope. Taking a break Sara grabbed a small tug rope and threw it out in the yard in random directions as Charlie fetched it. Back in the house she noticed her ring came off. Her and Brendan visually searched but to no avail. While Sara had to attend a work meeting, I met Brendan and started to search the yard, first the thick bushes where Sara thought it may be then the thicker grass. No luck, so I went out as far as I could and started to work inwards and after a few minutes got a good metal signal from the metal detector out near the property line roughly 35 feet from where Sara remembers being. Reaching down into the grass I pulled up her spectacular ring! Brendan came running to the location and was thrilled that it was found even tho so far away than thought. As Charlie approached with the look that Brendan and Sara were pretty evenly matched, I said Sara would probably make a great softball pitcher!

Queen of the Waterslide……

…….Remember how much fun it was to go to your grandparent’s house for the day or weekend? I have very fond memories of that! Such was the case with Lauren, her children and other family members who were invited to the grandparent’s place recently to escape the heat. Usually, small kiddie pools were set up but, on this day, grandpa presented a nice waterslide on a hilly portion of his property for them to enjoy. And that they did. Hours went by of sliding and running around up and down the hill, by day’s end everyone was cooled off and waterlogged. While starting to dry off, Lauren noticed her wedding ring was missing. Bewildered, what was she to do as this ring was her grandmother’s that was passed to her for her wedding, so for sure some sentimentality attached to it. Luckily, this was not the grandma’s house who gave her the ring. So, she rented a toy type metal detector and discovered the hill had lots of trash metal from the house construction years ago. I started a grid search using my MXT metal detector knowing the approximate number her ring should be on the metal detector’s meter, thus passing over the junk metal signals. I traipsed up and down the hill where the waterslide was for almost 45 minutes with no ring signal. Lauren was convinced she was nowhere else but on that hill by the waterslide. I started to think otherwise and started to metal detect next to the house where the side door was where everyone was coming in/out. Sure enough a few feet from the door in the thick grass a good metal signal came thru at zero depth, so I felt good about this one. Reaching down in the grass revealed her beautiful ring! Waving at her, she and the children rushed right over. As she smiled reaching down and holding up the ring, I asked…Do you feel like a Queen? She said yes and of the waterslide as well!

The Class of 1921 Graduates….

…Finally, their day had arrived. After receiving his diploma, Rudy’s great grandfather set out to achieve many goals.  Prior to this he had bought a gold class ring and over time the ring has been handed down to various family members. When Rudy was 21 yrs. of age his family presented this ring to him as a total surprise for following in his great grandfather’s footsteps as regards education and achieving goals. He wore it with pride and was always excited to talk about the history behind it. But one day he was having a great time at a friend’s pool throwing footballs, diving off the diving board and going down the slide. After some time had passed his ring was missing. Devastated about the loss the thoughts of having to explain to his parents was causing him not to think clearly about where the ring may be. I arrived and metal detected the grounds area with no success. Searching further out I received a good metal signal in one of the neighbor’s yards. Reaching down into the grass revealed Rudy’s simply stunning ring! Totally thrilled the weight of the loss was off his shoulders, he said it was time to celebrate, congrats and a huge bravo! Caps off to a well-deserved success!

Ricardo called me asking for help finding his wedding ring. He had been at the beach an hour before, and after he left his ring was missing. He wasn’t able to meet me there, but was able to give concise directions as to where he had been. I let him know I was available, and was on my way in just a few minutes. It is always important to conduct a search as soon as is possible in order to increase the possibility of a recovery.

I was able to get to the beach in good time, and using Ricardo’s directions, was able to find the area for the search. There were many people in the area, and I was thinking that they might have placed their towel over his ring. I began in the open areas between the towels trying not to disturb anyone while I searched. I made one pass down the beach, then began my way up, when in the middle of the beach I received a solid signal, dug, and had the ring. I looked a my phone, and saw that 4 minutes earlier Ricardo sent a text asking if I was having any trouble finding the beach, and my reply was “I have your ring.” which amazed him. He lived close in a nearby town, and asked if I could drop it in his mailbox.

I made it over to his house, put his ring in the mailbox, wrapped in some papers to insure it stayed where it dropped, and felt great about the search. Didn’t get to see the smile, but I know it was there.

Lost Cartier Platinum Wedding Band at Halekulani Beach…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a text from Kawakita who with his wife was visiting Oahu from Japan.  They were leaving the next morning at 11am and my backup ring finders were out of commission.  I told him I would come over after my Royal Hawaiian hunt since they were the next beach over.  Ends up I only had 90 minutes left on my parking to go over and hunt.  I told Kawakita to meet me on the beach as I had minimal time.  He quickly showed me the search area and I started immediately.  We had some tourists in the way but they politely moved.  As I started my fourth leg coming down into the wet sand I got a strong #9 on the Manticore and two scoops later there was the Cartier.  I think Kawakita was as shocked as I was because we both thought it would be in the turbulent water.  His wife whom I never got her name was just arriving on the beach and when he handed her, her ring she was overcome with joy.  A few hugs and gracious thank yous sure made that a great hunt.  Aloha to Kawakita and his lovely wife!

Lost Tungsten, Gold & Diamonds Wedding Ring at Royal Hawaiian Beach…FOUND!!!

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

This ring hunt began when I got a call from Nate who was on vacation from Seattle, Washington.  While wrestling with his son in chest deep water his Tungsten, White Gold and Diamonds Wedding Ring came off and disappeared in the soft sand.  He tried using a mask & snorkel but the ring was buried.  I agreed to meet him first light on the beach.  While I was waiting for Nate to arrive another detectorist strolled through the low tide trough.  I texted Nate “Hurry we have competition!”  I told the competition what we were doing and he continued out of the area.  Nate set some grid extremes for me and in I went in with the Manticore.  The sets were coming in crazy from waist deep to over my head.  A few times my headphones got ripped off my skull.  After completeing the grid in about an hour I had only found a silver toe ring, a broken copper necklace and a cherry earring.  Nate became quite sure of his distance so I went out and did a parallel to shore hunt.  Suddenly,  I had a screaming target and after two scoops there was the ring in my scoop.  I told Nate I believe I got it.  I noticed him clasp his hands in prayer and one look in the scoop it was confirmed.  Wife never has to know!  Aloha to Nate!

Lost Gold Wedding Ring Recovered, Weko Beach, Bridgman Michigan (Lake Mi)

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:


06/25/2024 Weko Beach, Bridgman Michigan, Lake Michigan, water temp 68. William and family were enjoying the day at the beach. The 90’s temps last week warmed the big lake up nicely nearshore. At some point, William realized his gold wedding ring had fell off. He noticed this while out by a certain buoy marker out by the water inlet tower.
His daughter Alissa, later did some googling and came across my information as a “Ring Finder”. She texted me, we worked out the details and today (06/26) I did my searching, based off a hand drawn treasure-map of sorts.
There had been a quite strong wind/storm event later in the evening of the day of loss. Things move at this beach rather easily, even heavy 2-3 ounce fishing sinkers and massive amounts of sand come and go quickly.
Well, after a bit of searching, working the fairly large area, I got a nice sounding signal, told the gopro to “start recording”, took a careful scoop and observed a very gold men’s band in the scoop! He’s been wearing it since May of 2002 and I’m glad to have helped recover it for them.

Lost White Gold Diamonds & Sapphire Rings at Hilton Hawaiian Village…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a text from Jennifer who is native to Oahu but currently resides in California.  She asked how do your services work?  I immediately called and she told me.  While enjoying the cool waters at Hilton Hawaiian Village with her partner Jordan her White Gold Sapphire and Diamonds ring fell off in shallow water.  In a panic she tried reaching into the sand and coral rubble to retrieve it and in the process her other White Gold & Diamonds ring also came off and disappeared.  I told Jennifer I’d be off work at 1pm and we could meet anytime after that near the food truck in the parking lot which was just a few yards from the search area.  Knowing this area is detected constantly I was thankful when a few targets especially pull tabs and two nickels showed up…the ring just might still be here.  After about 40 minutes I completed the search area Jennifer showed me.  While trying to decide what to do next Jennifer’s significant other Jordan asked if I had gotten to wear a little girl in a bright pink swim suit was snorkeling.  I said just shy of that and I agreed to spread out the search area yet again.  This time it paid off.  On the 1st leg return I got the Sapphire & Diamonds ring.  Then expanding from that point the Manticore picked out the all diamonds ring.  Jennifer was so elated she told me she had to hold back her tears of relief and joy.  Both rings were now back on her finger.  Aloha to Jennifer & Jordan!  Always expand that search area!!!

I had just gotten back from a successful search from earlier in the day (it was now about 7:00 PM) when my phone rang, and a gentleman was wondering if I could help locate his lost wedding ring. Well my wife was on the way home with our dinner, so I asked some questions about the loss, and figured there was a good possibility of a recovery, but wanted to have my dinner because I hadn’t eaten since 10:30 that morning. so I asked if he would mind me eating first, and then I would come. He agreed, and I told him I would let him know when I was leaving.

Rob told me that he would meet me at the beach, but I got there a bit earlier than he did. He had given me an area to search, but because it was dark, and the sand all looks the same, I looked around for traces of a search in the sand. I did find an area in the vicinity he had given me that looked like someone had been searching for something, so I began to search as I waited for Rob to come. I searched the whole area with no success, and became a little dismayed until Rob showed up, and let me know I was looking in the wrong place. He lead me to where he remembered him being earlier that day, and I began a new search. I swung my detector twice, got a good strong signal, scooped the sand, and had Rob’s wedding ring to hand back to him. He was astonished that the recovery happened so fast, but the fact that he was there to correct my search area made all the difference. He was very happy, and I believe he said that he and his wife were celebrating their wedding anniversary in 3 months. What a great end to a long day.
