Happy Valentines Day!..

I got a call from Derrick’s mom saying that she went and got some jewelry out of lay away that Derrick bought for himself. She wanted to surprise him. So, about a week ago she got it home and misplaced it somewhere. Meeting today Derrick thought I was searching for his mom’s lost jewelry. Mom had to go to work for a bit but recalled the jewelry was in a certain room in the house, so I started there. I chose to bait my dowsing antenna rod with silver as the chain was the most massive of the targets sought. I swept the rod left to right and right to left. The antenna locked in a certain direction in the room. Stepping a few feet over to triangulate, the rod locked again so we had a narrower area to look. Using my pin pointer metal detector, I passed it thru and around some items where the antenna rod pointed. It wasn’t long before the metal detector buzzed that something was nearby. As I reach into the clutter I’ll call it, I felt a small envelope that was heavy when I pulled it out, Derrick was thrilled but didn’t open it. I was not sure all the items were in the one envelope, so I searched again with the pin pointer and got another signal not far from the first. Reaching in again I pulled out another small envelope. I thought that this was the lost jewelry envelopes so I said to Derrick that maybe he should open them. Opening the heavy one he about fainted when he saw that it was his silver chain. Opening the second envelope revealed his 2 gold rings with a note that read: To Derrick with love, from mom!

Lost White Gold Ring w/Diamonds in the Snow Found in Allen Park Michigan

Frosted!!……..

Is how newly engaged Jade felt after falling down in the snow in the front yard. After changing clothes, she noticed her ring missing. Now dark out she tried shoveling and using a flashlight to find the ring but had no luck. The next day I began a grid search with my MXT metal detector. Detecting thru the piles of shoveled snow provided no signal. Detecting along the path to the house I got a great signal. Pinpointing down over a highly compressed patch of snow, as I slowly scraped it away, I caught the sparkle of diamonds shining thru a thin veil of frost! As I was getting the ring free from the snow, I waved Jade to come over. Looking down all she saw was a chunk of snow. I wasn’t until she picked it up that the cold mass started to thaw. When the snow defrosted and the ring appeared, she went into diamond overload as we both were dazzled with the reflections of elegance the ring processed. Yes, Jade loves her diamonds and is beyond happy that even snow can’t dull the sparkle.

The Only Ice that Kept Her Warm…..

suddenly turned Brianna cold when her ring went missing somewhere between where her car was parked and her grandma’s apartment. After spending some time with family, Brianna ran briskly from the apartment to her vehicle. Grasping the steering wheel and pulling away from the curb she felt something missing. When I got there, I was able to search all the area where the vehicle was parked with no luck. Starting towards the apartment I got a great signal and pinpointing down thru 6 inches of snow revealed her ring with one on the most sparkling and gorgeous diamond settings I have seen. Putting it back on her finger suddenly warmed her up again, and with grandma giving the thumbs up from the apartment window melted away any doubt of the recovery.

Groundhog Gold…..

Being holed up in the current Michigan deepfreeze, Mohammad and his wife decided to run a few errands. Upon arriving home, a friendly snowball fight ensued that left her ring missing. Agreeing to meet on Monday to search, after arriving I set up my MXT metal detector and began a grid search. In just a few minutes I got a great signal with the detector. 6 inches of snow cover was hiding the ring! Amazingly in one of the pictures, the beautiful ring’s shadow appeared. Coincidentally a certain groundhog saw his as well. Can we put faith in a rodent to predict when spring will arrive?  Or does seeing the ring’s shadow predict the next 6 weeks and beyond will be warm and comforting for Mohammad and his wife…..

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!

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!

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!

I was out detecting the beach when Omar came up to me and asked for my help.  He lost his wedding ring when it flew off of his finger and landed somewhere in the sand near his blanket.  He tried digging around to find it but didn’t have any luck.  I agreed to help him.  After searching for his ring for two minutes, I located it in the sand. Omar was so happy to have his ring back.

Wedding Ring found in Ninigret Pond, Charlestown, RI

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

Dan contacted me to ask for my help in finding his lost wedding ring.  This is Dan’s story of what happened…” When setting my boat anchor, my wedding ring got caught on the chain and went flying into Ninigret Pond over two weeks ago. My own attempts to find the ring were wildly unsuccessful and I had pretty much accepted the fact that my 15-year-old wedding ring was lost to the depths of Davey Jones locker. My last-ditch effort was to search google for a local detectorist, and after a two-minute inquiry, I found Gary Bonin of The Ring Finders right in Charlestown………..We set off on a boat trip to find my ring! After arriving at the location and showing Gary the general area where I thought the ring would be, he located it in under 20 minutes! The ring was almost unrecognizable after two weeks in salt water which turned my white gold ring into yellow gold! Even more ironic, when I identified the ring from the engraving with the date of our wedding, Gary remarked ‘oh, that’s my birthday’.  After using polishing compound once I got home, the ring is back to its old “white gold ” self. I cannot recommend Gary and The Ring Finders enough. Before you give up hope your ring or other valuables are lost to the beach or ocean, call Gary!”
