Yard waste treasure

  • from Yakima (Washington, United States)
Contact:


It was a cold snowy day in February 2022 when I was asked to search for a Lost Ring following some landscaping and pruning. The 2 Hour Dr. was snowy and it was cold outside when I arrived, but the snow had stopped. After meeting this nice couple and hearing their story, I first search briefly where he had been doing some pruning and piling the trimmings. Next, I asked to see where he had placed all of the prunings which happened to be in a large rubbish can in a shed. I slowly pulled out the material and scanned it first visually and was able to find the ring amongst the trimmings , needless to say all were happy and a very nice reward was received for the hunt. I was very pleased to be able to help reunite this Ring and its story with the owners.

Lost – Men’s Gold Cartier wedding band – Daytona Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Mother’s Day was a perfect day and my wife, Myrna, and I topped it off with a bike ride to our community pool.  When we returned, I was putting away the bikes when I got the call from Yanaia.  She said that they were at the beach and lost a ring.  I could sense the distress in the tone of her voice.  I hopped into the car and headed her way.

When I arrived, the beach was packed, and Yan was waving me down.  I found out that her husband, Eddy, was the one who lost the ring…a heavy gold Cartier wedding band.  I thought to myself, “this should be easy!”

Eddy was standing in the middle of a tidal pool that was roughly 20ft in diameter.  He was holding a metal stick to mark where he thought he lost the ring, and his expression was very worried.

I fired up the Manticore and began the search.  I swepted over the middle spot of the tidal pool where it was obvious, they had been digging.  Nothing.  I expanded the search in a spiral outward until I had covered the entire tidal pool.  Nothing but a penny, a trash item, and a very small screw.

I began to grid off around the water and toward the beach, going into the surf somewhat.  I stopped and prayed.  This search should not be this difficult!  As I expanded toward the driving lanes, I got a great hit and suspected success.  I heard the tell-tale jangle in the scoop and saw gold!

As I handed the ring to Eddy, his expression changed in an instant from desperation to exuberance.  I was the recipient of hugs from Yanaia and Ariana.  Cheers from Jose, Joshua, and people all around!  The item that was lost was found.

Lost – Men’s Gold Wedding Ring – DeLand Florida – FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

On Tuesday, April 16th I got text from Samantha.  She said that her husband Ian, had lost his men’s gold wedding band a few months ago.  She continued, that he had been working in the yard and it flew off his finger while he was weeding.

Although it took a little over a week before we had a time when we all could meet, I knew it would still be there.  Rings you lose in your back yard stay there, as a rule.

I arrived and Ian and Samantha led me to the area where the ring had been lost.  I fired up the Minelab Manticore and began a cursive sweep of the area.  I got a great hit right where they said the ring had been lost.  I ignored that hit and covered the rest of the area just to see if there were others.  There were not.

I fired up my pinpointer and put it on the spot the detector had indicated.  As I pushed the pinpointer under a clump of grass, I saw the gold ring reveal itself.  My prayer was answered.    I held the ring up and Ian said, “You found it!”

Happy family!  The ring that had been lost for a few months was back on the hand of the owner!

Check out my Facebook page for more water recoveries

I received a call from Derek about the possibilities of recovering his ring from a very wide lagoon. He explained exactly what had happened, and he knew right when the ring came off his finger. Water recoveries are extremely challenging to begin with, but add in the fact he and his buddies were racing to the other side and back, and this one becomes almost impossible. Well, as the conversation continues, I discover Derek had quite a bit of pertinent information which is needed to even consider this recovery. I asked him to supply me with everything he had, which included many pictures, and probably the deciding factor to move forward with this recovery,  was the video of them racing to the other side. That was the spot where the ring had come off. I asked him to give me a few days to review everything, which he agreed to, as the ring was not going anywhere . After looking at all the information given I called Derek and explained this would be extremely complicated, but as long as he was positive the ring came off right when he stopped swimming , we should definitely give it a try. We cleared it with the homeowner, and set up the date to do the recovery. Once there a bouy was dropped just past precise location, and a guide line was placed on the bottom and secured back at the dock. With near zero visibility, on the 3rd pass back, we got a promising hit just before the bouy. After fanning the target a bit, you could just make out the ring.  This all happened in roughly 55 min from start to finish.Had there not been the pictures and video his ring would still be on the bottom of the bay/lagoon. Huge shout out to Buzz, couldn’t have done this one without you.

Lost engagement ring in the ocean, Ship Bottom NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Jersey shore ring finder ring finder south jersey    Kate reached out to me wanting to know if it was possible to locate her engagement that slipped off her finger during the day somewhere at the beach. It was late in the evening, and after determining that it was close to high tide when it most likely came off, it would be best to wait until the early morning low tide. We arranged to meet early the next morning at the dune walkover. As we were heading to the location I had asked her to mark in google maps we talked about the main things she could remember leading up the the ring disappearing. Once we got to the spot, she showed me some pictures she had, before and after the ring went missing. Something didn’t look just right, but I figured I would check the area that was marked. After coming up empty handed I asked her to see the pics again, it was then I knew that was not quit the right location. I adjusted the location about 40′ to the north, and things looked just right, including the piles of seaweed that had pushed high up on the hill the prior day when the pics were taken. Kate confirmed after looking at the pics that this was absolutely the right location. Combined with the rough surf, was the fact that she was boogie boarding, and that is never a good thing when doing a recovery. Kate did remember one wave that knocked her down, where she lost the board, and that was luckily close to the beach in waist deep water. I decided to hit that area real quick, and while Kate was in about knee deep water looking, I got a signal that made my eyes open wide. With the waves crashing right where I was, I took extra time to zero in on the exact spot, and hoped to grab it on the first scoop. Sure enough I had it on the first try, BINGO, it was her absolutely stunning ring!!!!! Kate had no idea what had just taken place just a few feet behind her, as I scooted up the hill , past the waves to get a better look and clean it off. At that moment I decided to make a video to capture her response, which you will see I’m not very good at. (Will be posted soon) Her reaction was something that makes this profession SO SO rewarding that no words could ever explain.

While spending the day with his family in Marco Island and playing in the waves with his son, Thomas realized his gold band was no longer on his finger.  After spending the afternoon looking with a metal detector without any luck, his wife took to the internet and posted the loss.  A few responses came back “you gotta call Mark!”  Well his wife found Mark, and I was down there with an hour searching.  Well so were several other metal detectors too that had seen the post.  The rest is now history, found the ring in the abyss, and now their story continues.  Remember it’s only list until you call…God does hear and answers prayers! 🙏🏻🎉

Engagement ring recovered in Green Bay snow.

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

In early January, I received a message about a lost engagement ring from Emma, who was playing in the snow at night at her future mother-in-law’s home, and it slipped off somewhere in the yard next to the driveay .   They had shoveled the snow aside the next day and looked carefully, but could not find it.     I brought my trusty Garrett AT Pro, but decided to teach Emma how to use an analog Tesoro Umax, and perhaps recruit another potential metal detectorist to the hobby!   Sure enough, after a few surface coins popped out, she found a clear “ringy” signal.  I brushed away the snow, and revealed a beautiful emerald and gold ring that took my breath away.    I could see why she was concerned!   Her beautiful ring was back on her finger and she and her fiancé were relieved.

THREE Lost Rings Found in the Snow! Morris, CT

  • from Stonington (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

Three rings were lost while Emi played in the snow with her kid – Morris, CT.

From Emi:

“I lost three rings. An engagement ring, a wedding band, and an eternity ring. They are all gold with some diamonds. I was sledding with my child, and luckily for photos, we narrowed it to a small timeframe where the areas could be indoors but most likely out in the snow.”

A photo in the main bedroom at around 9:55 AM captured all three rings still on Emi’s finger. Then, a video of Emi and her kid being pulled around on a sled in the front yard shows the rings were missing by 10:06 AM. Emi also told me she fell in the snow, so there was enough outdoor activity that I felt confident the lost rings could be outdoors. I began searching the snow, marking the areas I covered. This property was old, so there was lots of metal in the ground from centuries of occupation. Signals were ringing through my metal-detecting headphones every couple of feet. The high volume of signals complicates a snow search because, with snow on the ground, you cannot just look down and see if the rings are there. I had to dig through the snow to check every signal. It was an emotional rollercoaster for the spectators because every time I bent over to check a signal, it caused some excitement. Then, they were disappointed when they realized the signal was buried under the ground but could still ring through the inches of snow. I eventually heard a signal and pushed the snow out of the way with my foot, exposing a circular, shiny item. It was a thick gold wedding band! The engagement and eternity rings were only a short distance away in another snow pile. Emi and her family were jumping with joy to have the gold rings back!

From Emi:

“Rarely do I leave a review, but I was so impressed with Keith’s quick find. Took him 30 mins to find 3 rings I had lost in the snow. I was out sledding with my kid after a fresh set of snow and of course, didn’t think to wear gloves. It wasn’t until much later that I noticed my rings missing, and after going through photos, we narrowed it down to a small timeframe. We bought a metal detector and searched out in the snow to no avail. I emailed Keith, and he got back to me early next morning with news that he could come in a few days as he was booked. Due to the snow, it seemed like it was a busy time. He came that Sunday and gave me a 2-hour window with an approximate eta. He showed up on time with a very serious metal detector and went straight to work after asking a few questions. He’s a really nice guy with a warm but professional demeanor, and I would hire him again in a heartbeat if it happened again. He’s 100% legit and worth every penny. I am so grateful for his service and can’t thank him enough! Thanks, Keith!”

Lost Ring in Wooded Brush Found! Bridgewater CT

  • from Stonington (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

A ring was lost while helping remove a tree limb from the roadway in Bridgewater, CT.

From Nate:

“I felt the ring come off at a substantial speed due to my hand being wet. I know exactly where I was standing, which direction I was facing, and which direction (roughly) the ring went. I heard two distinct “ting” sounds behind me before it went silent, and I turned, but not in time to see where it went or how far. We searched and searched, careful not to disturb the scene too much, and even used a metal detector. We did not go more than a few feet into the wooded brush and are admittedly novices with the detector. The ring is 95% palladium with a satin exterior and chrome-like interior that is quite shiny. We tried searching at night as well as day using a flashlight. Very frustrating that we haven’t found it.”

Nate’s wife found me online, and we worked out a schedule. Nate walked me around the roadside and demonstrated the scenario with another ring (junk ring). The brush and leaves in the wooded area along the road were deep, so a newbie with a metal detector would understandably have trouble finding this ring. My wife and I found multiple targets around the wooded area and even found the neighbor’s property marker. Deep under the leaves, I finally found the lost palladium ring with my XP Deus metal detector. Nate was shocked because they had already spent hours and days across a couple of weeks searching for the lost ring, with no luck. The ring was finally back on Nate’s finger!

From Nate:

“I lost my wedding band and spent several hours, over several days, searching for it. I knew exactly where it was and even bought a metal detector to try and find it. When all hope was lost, I turned to Keith. It was more of a process than I thought, but not more than the ring was worth to me, so, in the end, it was absolutely the best decision. He was professional and efficient. He found the ring in less than an hour!”

Lost Heirloom Wedding Band Found in the Yard! Carlisle, Massachusetts

  • from Stonington (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

A lost heirloom wedding band found in a yard in Carlisle, Massachusetts! Nick was cleaning up the kiddie pool as part of his end-of-summer chores. He used a hose to rinse the pool parts off when he flung his hands to get the water off. A few minutes later, something didn’t feel right. He looked down and realized his heirloom wedding band from 4 generations back was missing! Such an important piece of family history gone missing brings an unbelievable amount of stress. This wedding band was made from Nick’s great-grandmother’s ring, the diamonds of which were placed in his wife’s ring – a truly irreplaceable heirloom. Nick spent some time searching the lawn, walkways, and garden spaces with a borrowed metal detector. He eventually found my website, rediscoverlost.com, and we scheduled a time to search. Soon after meeting at the property and investigating the situation, I heard a few metal-detecting signals around the areas Nick mentioned. Most of the signals turned out to be common trash. I started working my way back to where the pool was and heard a signal in one of the plants alongside the walkway. I pushed aside the vegetation and saw a gold ring wedged between the plant stalks, standing on its edge. This was the location where Nick thought he was standing when he shook his hands. Nick’s wife happened to be driving away right as I was finding the ring. Check out the YouTube video below to see her reaction!

 

From Nick:

“Having lost an heirloom (four generations back) wedding band in my yard, I was very anxious to find it. Hours of searching on my hands and knees and with a borrowed metal detector was fruitless. Keith and his wife came in and found it in about 15 minutes. I am profoundly grateful for his help. As with so many things in life, there is no substitute in this field for skill/experience and having the right equipment + knowing how to use it, and Keith ticks all these boxes. If you’ve lost something metal and have been unable to find it yourself, don’t despair – get Keith involved.”
