Lost White Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a call from Braiden who happened to be on the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach, as a young lady named Laura, got bitten by a bee on her finger and as she swung her hand to get rid of the bee her White Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring flew off into the sand and disappeared.  She was in a panic state as she couldn’t find her ring and wasn’t really positive as to where it landed in the sand during her stressful bee sting moment.  Braiden agreed to meet me on the boardwalk and direct me to where Laura was.  I arrived rather quickly and Braiden was easy to spot at 6 foot 7.  When he introduced me to Laura she was still crying but still had the wherewithal to describe the event and where it should be.  I fired up the Manticore and told her to relax as there would most likely be some trash found during the hunt.  I show my clients every target I retrieve so they know I’m not going to pocket their precious item.  My first target was a piece of foil and as I showed it to Laura a look of dishearten surprise was obvious.  I told her again I would show her everything I dig.  Next target “Boom” gorgeous ring in the scoop.  “Now you can get excited” I said, as I let her retrieve her ring from my scoop.  Tears of relief flowed down her face and she gave me a giant hug of thanks.  Applause and cheers rang out from the tourists on the beach.  Vacation saved!  Aloha to Laura from Canada!

LOST 14k GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING in CATAWBA, NC…….FOUND!!!!

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

I received a text from a young lady on Sunday stating she had lost her 14k gold engagement ring in her backyard while pushing her little sister on a sled.

As she pushed her, she fell and stood up and shook her hands off and at some point the ring fell/flew off her finger.

Due to the road conditions, we agree on Tuesday after I got off work to drive down and attempt to locate her ring.

I arrived and met her and her mom, got the story and began my search. After about 30 mins, I get the signal I was hoping for. After a quick brush away and pin-pointer locating the target, there was her ring in the snow!!

I love helping people find their lost and irreplaceable!!!!

Gold Wedding Ring Lost In The Snow – Found in Pittsburgh by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter 814-244-2300

I was contacted by Joshua who stated his wife had lost her gold wedding ring in the snow in front of a house in Pittsburgh. They were visiting from New York  and the ring had fallen off of her finger outside of their car. I was able to make plans to search for the ring the next morning.

I arrived to find out that while the ring was lost out in front of the house it was along the street rather than in a driveway. I met Joshua who showed me where he had parked. Two days had passed and of course they had been searching and people were moving snow as they shoveled out parking spaces and sidewalks. I inspected the area and my heart started to sink. This looked next to impossible. On the curb next to where they had parked was a neighbor’s garbage to include a trash can, an old air conditioner and what looked like a stack of old shelving. Just as an added bonus to what looked like an incredible task was the fact that the temperature was in the single digits.

I started to search, got a pretty promising sound and began combing through the snow. I forgot to mention this was an old cobblestone street. As I got down under the ice I found an copper penny in one of the cracks on the roadway. I was starting to prepare for this to be a VERY long haul. I started to move around the car and to the area of the neighbor’s trash. As I moved around the plastic trash can I got another pretty good hit. I got out my pinpointer and it was a relatively small target. While removing the snow to find the target I caught a glimpse of gold that disappeared back into the white fluffy snow. I dug down and finally there it was – the ring! I hate to say it but I was in disbelief. I have said it before but this was nothing more than simply devine intervention!! I had only been searching for about 20 minutes or so when I found the ring.

I took the ring to the house and gave it to Joshua. He was amazed and very happy that I recovered it. Then I found out they were newlyweds and had been married for just a week. They were returning to New York the next day. As always it was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client and return their lost ring.

Keys Lost In The Snow – Found by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter in Pittsburgh, PA! Call or Text Brian at 814-244-2300

After one of the massive snowstorms that covered the country recently and hit Pittsburgh pretty hard I was contacted by Donquia who had lost his keys in front of his house. Donquia said he slipped on the front steps and his keys went into the snow. We made arrangements for me to come out the next morning.

I arrived in the area to find only a small path on the street in front of Donquia’s house to be plowed and the rest of the area was nothng but piles of snow and plowed in cars. With nowhere to park I left my truck sitting in the middle of the street, got briefed by Donquia and got started. He was pretty sure he went one way and the keys went another. I started to sweep over the snow with a few hits but no keys. I then had to drive around the block as someone needed to get by on the roadway. When I came back I parked in the street again and started on the opposite side of the steps. After a few minutes a nice sound came through my headset. I started to dig with my snowshovel and jackpot, I found Donquia’s keys!

I was happy to find Donquia’s keys relatively quickly so he could get to work a bit later. As always, it was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client and recover his lost item.

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

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

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!

His & Hers Platinum Wedding bands Lost, Recovered and Returned in Villanova, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Thanks to fellow Ring Finder, John Favano, for the referral! Jerry reached out to me after losing his beautiful platinum wedding band while playing in the snow in the front yard of his Villanova, PA home. After searching for several hours on his hands and knees in the fresh snow he thought he would try to get a better idea of what the ring would look like in the snow….so….yeah….he borrowed his wife’s matching wedding band and threw that down. As you can guess….he immediately lost that one too! After several more hours of searching with rakes and shovels he finally surrendered and got in touch with a professional. He lost them on a Sunday….I was there with my metal detector Monday afternoon. Within 3 minutes total….I had recovered both rings! Jerry told me he briefly considered renting or purchasing a metal detector before calling me. I told him of the countless times I get the called after people buy or rent machine in an effort to find themselves…I told him the experience of the guy using the machine is more important than the machine itself! I was very happy to reunite Jerry and his wife with their beautiful rings!

Wedding Ring found in Watchaug Pond, Charlestown, RI

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

Harry contacted me about a ring lost in Watchaug Pond.  Here’s what he wrote about the experience: “I lost my wedding ring that I had worn for 20 years in late summer of 2024.  I was playing ball while swimming with my son in Watchaug Pond, and the ball jammed my finger.  I shook my hand and watched as the ring flew off into chest-deep water.  I looked for it but didn’t find it.  Figured I would never see it again.  Fast forward more than a year and my neighbor saw a story about Gary finding a ring for someone in Ninigret Park.  I reached out and through their dedication and kindness, Gary and Wayne, both members of The Ring Finders, met me at the pond.  After about 40 minutes of searching, they located my ring at the bottom of the pond and I go it back.”  We are thankful that we were able to help Harry recover his wedding ring.

Ring found at Misquamicut Beach, RI

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

I received a call about a lost ring from a mother who explained that her daughter, Chris, had lost a small ring on the beach.  Chris had the ring since she was a child and still wore it on her small finger. The mother told me that it was lost on the beach right next to Misquamicut Beach. I searched that beach in the area where she said the ring was lost but couldn’t find it.  When I contacted them to give an update on my search, Chris clarified the location, which was actually on Misquamicut Beach.  Unfortunately, I had been searching the wrong beach.  Four days later, I went back to the correct location and found the ring in two hours. I mailed the ring back to them in Connecticut because they don’t live close by.  Chris was happy to have her special ring back!
