Lost Gold Ring Recovered in Chaple Hill, N.C. on 11/25/2015

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

last night on 11/24/2015, I received a call from a nice gentleman who lost his ring while working outside on his home. After speaking to him and going over the details of how he lost the ring I agreed to meet him at his home to do the search on the next morning at 8:00 am on 11/25/2015.  When I arrived at his home it was right at 8:00 am like we agreed on. He walked me though everything he had done up to losing the ring. He also explained that when he was done working he had went to the side of the house to rinse a bucket out he was using. He put his hand in the bucket that he had the ring on the stir the water and wash the dirty bucket out. Since the water was dirty and cold it would only make sense why he would think the ring would come off in the water. He explained that he dumped the water out on the side of the in the leaves.  Well when I decided to begin my search I had my Regulator long range Electroscope and decided to use it first to check the areas. Instantly I got a signal with it when I was standing in front of the house while shooting it down toward the side of the house. After establishing  the first line on bearing I change my angle and shot a new line of bearing while this time standing further out in front of the home so I could shoot across my first line to see where the strongest signal would cross. I got 3 hits across my first line of bearing, 2 of them was 2 weak to worry about but the Third one was very strong so I started my search there.  The strongest was not on the side he thought the ring would be but instead was where he was working in the front. I grabbed my detector and sure enough I found the ring in the strongest area in less than two minutes. I was very happy to help him recover it fast. He was happy to have it back.

Wedding Rings Found in Seekonk MA

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

Last Tuesday, Christine was walking a trail through a wooded area in Seekonk MA with her two daughters.  In a clearing near the path, she bent to brush off her daughter’s jacket, and her wedding band and diamond ring flew off of her hand.  They were lose as she had lost some weight.  Christine thought the rings had flown into leaves and brush that surrounded the clearing.  After searching the area, she couldn’t find either ring.  That evening, Christine and her husband, Bright, located me on the internet at theringfinders.com, and Bright called me for help.  The next day I met the couple in the area and had Christine reenact what had happened the previous day.  I determined that the rings had probably not flown into the brush and leaves but were on the ground in the clearing where they were lost.  Sure enough, Bright found her diamond ring on the ground in the clearing.  Immediately after, I was able to locate her wedding band.  It was a pleasure to help this couple and to see the rings back on Christine’s finger where they belong.

Lost Ring Found – Middleton WI

  • from Madison (Wisconsin, United States)

Got a call this weekend from a guy whose wife lost both of her rings while doing yard work.  He found one of the rings, but couldn’t find the other.  The area was a flower bed that they had recently cleared of brush, and then spread a bale of straw.  It was a real life needle in a haystack!  We quickly started looking when we got there, first scanning the hay with our handheld metal detector.  Nothing.  Then I detected the grassy area around the flower bed.  Got a couple of hits that were deeper, got a hit on a piece of metal … then the sweet sound of gold.  Check out the full story below on my website, www.LostandFoundRing.com.

Mark was down on Gyro Beach for the evening with the boys. He dropped his wedding ring in the sand, knew where it was but the whole group after searching around,could not find it. He called me the next day, which was Thanksgiving Day, asking when I would be available to help him in his search. Experience tells me the sooner the better, I told him I will be there in 30 minutes. I got there before he did and could see by the scrape marks where they had been searching, 5 minutes later it was in my pouch. Mark arrived and was delighted to see his diamond wedding band, he tells me I saved his marriage.

Platinum / Diamond Wedding Ring Recovered

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Well, considering the weather today I was not expecting a call for a recovery. But, low and behold right around 5 I received a call for a lost Platinum / Diamond wedding ring. So I drove over in the rain and met the party in about 15 minutes after receiving the call. The group directed me to the area where they believed the ring may have been dropped. So after turning on my Excal I began searching the area and recovered one bottle cap and the second signal out popped this beauty. All in all, actual search time was about three minutes. Less than an hour, round trip.IMG_8215 IMG_4370 IMG_2464

Yellow Gold / Diamond Mens Wedding Band Recovered!

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from a gentleman (Chris) the other day. He said that he lost his wedding band after taking it off to apply sunscreen and left it in the cup holder pocket on the beach chair. He didn’t realize that it was still in the pocket until he was back to his hotel room, then realizing that it must have dropped out after folding the chair. This band had some family history since it contained diamonds from his mother in laws ring, so he was anxious to get it back ASAP. Luckily he got my contact info from beach patrol HQ. I met Chris at the beach about 15-20 minutes after getting the call and recovered the ring in about 5 minutes. Happy camper!

Two Lost Diamond Rings Recovered in Hawi on the Big Island of Hawaii

We got an urgent call from a family on vacation who had lost two diamond rings in the water near Hawi, Hawaii (Big Island), while swimming with their children in the ocean.

We drove about 1 hour and 45 minutes to the small State Park of Keokea to recover the rings and met them in the parking lot.

It turns out that Avesta had lost both of her precious rings – one a diamond ring with a whooping 2.75 carats in platinum. The disappointment of both Avesta and her husband, Hamid, was visible at loosing their valuable rings but they were both optimistic at our chances of finding them.

I put my mask on and hit the shallow water with my Excalibur II metal detector. After a 30 minute search we had found a pocket full of coins but no rings. Swinging back into a sandy area, suddenly I heard the low growl of platinum in my metal detector’s headphones. “I don’t want to give you false hope but think I’ve found a ring,” I said.

Sure enough, the basket held a gleaming ring with nine diamonds in a row. Hamid picked it out of the basket, happy, and eager to see if the second ring was also nearby. As I put the detector back in the water, a second signal was instantly in the headphones!  And right there, we recovered both rings, one after the other, where they had been lost and sunken into the sand. The second ring we recovered was a whooping 2.75 carat diamond ring – you can see the joy and surprise on their faces on the video – when getting back their lost – and now found – treasure!

“Lucky me that I found you guys. Thank GOD!!!!!” Avesta wrote in an email the next day.  “Phewwww so lucky I am!! FYI it was our 8 year anniversary the day you found the ring, makes it even more special.”

Heavy white gold engagement and wedding band recovered!

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Received a call for a lost engagement & wedding ring (fused together) yesterday. After gathering some details from the caller it was learned that the ring was most likely already underwater since the caller believed that it was in the wet sand and lost near low tide, (or so we thought). So we decided that this afternoons low tide would be a good time to shoot for it. I arrived about 2 hrs before dead low tide and hunted a large area (approx 50 X 50 yards)for about 2 hrs,  in the wet, with no luck.  The client was not entirely sure when she dropped the ring but thought it was in the wet sand. So the day was getting late and the dry sand was finally begining to clear off from beach goers and even the client was loosing hope fast. I still had plenty of daylight left so when the client approached me to tell me that she was leaving to meet with family I decided to hunt the dry area now that it was vacant.  The client literally made it to the end of the beach access ramp and BINGO, snagged it! Another happy reunion and satisfied client.

Lost Ring Found – Castle Rock Lake with Video

  • from Madison (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

ringCastleRockLakeBoat_crop
We recently were called up for a hunt to Castle Rock Lake, WI. Ring was lost at Alcatraz Island. We spent around 1.5 hours just trying to find the location they lost it in. The woman knew she had lost it there, but when we returned the landscape of the lake was totally different. The weekend before there were hundreds and hundreds of boats … the day we went up there were 5.

For the other lake hunters reading this, they can appreciate the difference that makes when trying to find a location in a lake. There are few landmarks to “grid” against. We had one photo taken from the day she lost it – which ended up being our treasure map. We spent 1.5 hours matching up that photo with the landscape, tree by tree. Then once we felt we were in the right location, I set up my 4 PVC pipes, which I use as grid markers in lake searches. 15 mins later – bingo. That feeling of pulling something so valuable out of a wide open lake is incredible.

We’ve started to GoPro our hunts, so below is a video from that day. I love capturing that moment we either show / tell someone we found their ring – truly priceless as you will hear in this video. I’ve also included a link to the full story of how the ring was lost and found from the woman’s point of view.
