I received a call on Wednesday (January 29th, 2025) from Alice stating that back in October her mother-in-law, Judy, had lost her ring while standing on her front porch in Scottsboro, Alabama.  Alice’s nephew had tried looking for it with a metal detector, but unfortunately, he was unable to find it.  Alice had recently come across my ring finders Facebook page (The Ring Finders – Huntsville, Alabama) via Google and she thought they’d give it a shot. I told Alice that I’d be more than happy to help look for Judy’s ring.  I work my normal “9-5” job during the week, but said that I could come out on the weekend.  We setup a search for Saturday.

I met Judy at her home in Scottsboro at noon on Saturday, February 1st.  We talked for a few minutes first, because we had both realized that my father-in-law, Lindell Sr., actually works for the company that Judy’s son, Steve, and daughter-in-law, Alice, own.  Small world!  I asked Judy to show me what she was doing when her ring came off.  She said her dog had rolled around in the yard and had some dormant Bermuda grass on him.  He was standing on the steps of her front porch, and Judy began brushing off the grass with her right hand.  She then felt one of her rings fly off and heard a ping on the metal railing on the right side, but she couldn’t tell which direction her ring went.  This was a very sentimental ring that was bought during a cruise to Mexico for her 40th wedding anniversary.  A beautiful and irreplaceable yellow gold ring with a ruby.

I began searching with my Minelab Equinox 900 metal detector.  The shrubs were very full, so it was a close quarters type of search.  I did my best to swing the coil around the foliage.  Then I got down on my hands and knees and began searching in and around the shrubs with my handheld pinpointer, the Garrett Pro Pointer AT.  I had searched the entire right and left sides of the landscaping, plus the front of the yard.  I only found various bits of small flexible metal, which was probably used in the construction of the house.  The landscaping had a metal edging around the entire border.  It gave off a loud tone.  The border was covered up with a mondo/monkey style type grass.  I knew I needed to manually search the entire boarder, because the metal could easily mask the ring.

I carefully searched through the monkey grass.  I cleared the right-side border, but no ring.  Next, I started searching the left side and I had gotten about part way down when I finally saw it… that yellow gold beaming back at me!  I was so happy and relieved that the mystery was finally solved!  It took an hour and 45 minutes, but Ms. Judy’s gorgeous red ruby ring was found!  I got in a couple of quick photos and rang the doorbell.  I told Judy that it was a tough search, but… we got it!  I opened up my fist to show her the ring.  She was so excited and gave me a big hug!  We both thanked God for answering our prayers.

I’m truly blessed that I get to go on all these fun adventures and meet such wonderful people.  Until the next one…please take care and God bless!

 

*****PHOTO UPDATE*****

I received this photo on Tuesday afternoon (February 4th) of Judy and her son, Steve.

I received a call from Michelle asking for help in searching her burned home, We agreed on a day to conduct the search.

When I arrived I could see the home was completely gutted. Michelle and her husband David met me, and explained that they, some fire fighters, and their friends had searched the site, and recovered most of what they were looking for with the exception of a few items. I began looking for one of the items, and then Michelle asked if I would redirect my attention to another area of the house where she had lost something of great sentimental value to her. It was a small bronze sculpture of the mythological Greek Goddess Athena’s helmet that she had had for many years that was associated with someone she admired. The previous searches turned up the head dress of the helmet, but not the helmet. She showed where it had been, so I began my search. After about 30 minutes of searching, a little rounded object no bigger than a tennis ball came out of the rubble. I picked it up, it was heavy, and formed. I turned it around and saw the shape, then called out to Michelle who got very excited that this memory was still intact. So very happy to be of help.

Chris contacted me about searching his home that had burned during the Eton/Altadena fire, we made arrangements to do the search.

When I arrived Chris and his wife Laura met me at our arranged meeting point, and they took me to their property. Driving through the area just makes my heart sink knowing how all of these people lost everything they had worked so hard for so rapidly. When we arrived they told me that the home was searched already by a Samaritan’s Purse team, but the wanted a more thorough search to insure everything that could be found was found. I searched 3 different areas, and was able to find 5 lumps of melted silver, one of Chris’ hand planes, a decorative anchor, and 5 small pieces of gold including a partial chain, and fully intact earring with gem. They were happy I was able to help, and I was thankful to be able to help as well.

Lost Wedding Ring Found at Carpinteria State Beach

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:
Lost a Ring in the Sand at Carpinteria State Beach? Call Dave The Ring Finder!
If you’ve lost a ring, necklace, pendant, or bracelet in the sand at Carpinteria State Beach, don’t waste time or money on a metal detector rental. Instead, contact Dave The Ring Finder, a proud member of The Ring Finders network, at 805-290-5009 (call or text). I specialize in recovering lost jewelry fast, so you can get back to enjoying your day!
Today, I received an urgent text from Mike, who had been camping and playing football at Carpinteria State Beach. While diving for a catch, his ring slipped off—stripped from his finger in a one-in-a-million moment. He wasn’t sure of the exact spot, but we narrowed it down to a 20×20-foot area of sand. I grabbed my gear and got to work.
The challenge? The beach was littered with bottle caps, pull tabs, and melted aluminum scraps. My Minelab Manticore was picking up a symphony of signals, making it impossible to zero in on the ring’s tone without digging every target. With so much metal trash, I couldn’t risk the ring being masked, so I committed to clearing the area scoop by scoop.
After 40 minutes and about 40 dug targets, doubt started creeping in. Had we misjudged the spot? I expanded the search slightly, and within a minute, I hit a solid 50-51 tone—a promising sign. I plunged my CKG scoop into the sand, gave it a few shakes, and there it was: Mike’s lost ring gleaming in the sunlight!
What started as a tougher-than-expected hunt ended in success. Losing a ring in the sand at Carpinteria State Beach doesn’t have to ruin your trip—Dave The Ring Finder has you covered. Call or text 805-290-5009 today, and let me reunite you with your lost treasure!

Lost woman’s rings found in Burleson, TX.

  • from Fort Worth (Texas, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from John he said his fiancé had thrown her rings in the backyard field and he wanted to recover them before he made an insurance claim. I agreed to meet him on January 31, 2025 and search for the lost rings. I arrived as scheduled and started my search of the large field. I started to my right side and my first pass was about 75’ long  then moved over and searched back 75’. I continued for about an hour and had made about 5 passes 75’ deep by about 50’ wide. At about 1 hour and 10 minutes I found a small gold ring and figured the other one should be close by. About 5 minutes later I found the ring he was looking for. John was glad and  I was happy I was able to locate your ring. Thank you for the reward John!!!

Gold Promise Ring Lost! Ermineskin Neighbourhood, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

I received a phone call and text late last night, but I was unfortunately unavailable. I responded with a text message first thing this morning.

Marcus requested my service to recover his lost promise ring, I understand he was brushing snow off his vehicle seat when the ring flew off his finger. He heard it ping inside the vehicle but couldn’t locate it, and then spent an hour searching the parking lot without success.

We arranged a meeting this morning, but a different vehicle was parked where his vehicle had been. After Marcus explained the situation again, I searched inside his vehicle  and immediate area without finding the ring. Marcus then showed me a photo of where his vehicle had been parked, and I determined the ring must be underneath the vehicle that was parked on the spot where his vehicle was last night.

We discussed the possibility of the vehicle owner being a visitor or employee in the complex. I suggested we either contact each office in the complex to find the owner or wait for them to appear, which could take all day.

Fortunately, we were able to locate the owner quickly, and she kindly moved her vehicle. My first sweep with my metal detector located his ring, Marcus was ectatic to have his ring back on his finger.

Thank you for entrusting me to find your ring. It was my pleasure to assist you.

Kara reached out to me about her lost diamond earring in the sand in Avalon, NJ. She was removing her shirt and it got caught sending it somewhere into the sand.

Arriving at the beach, I carefully scanned the area with my metal detector where Kara had last seen the earring. My metal detector finally picked up a signal, buried beneath the surface.

There it was – Kara’s lost earring, glinting in the sun. Kara was excited to see the earring! They were able to continue to enjoy the rest of their time at the Jersey Shore in Avalon, New Jersey.
