Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

The recent “Polar Votex” or just plain COLD weather prompted a series of service calls in just one day which is very unusual. One of the calls was from Vicki who called me and stated that she had lost her ring in the snow when she put it down to run a metal detector over it. They were trying to find an engagement ring that had been lost by another family member earlier in the day when cleaning off her car.  I was just wrapping up another search with disappointingly – no luck. With the cold and darkness Vicki thought it might be good for me to come out another day. I told her I would swing by hoping to have at least one quick recovery as I was going to pass within about 5 miles of the place they were lost on my way home from the current search.

On my way I was thinking how hard can it be to find the ring that was put in the snow, they should pretty much know where it was. I figured I would have a quick recovery of Vicki’s ring and then maybe with some additional luck find the other. I arrived at the search location and found that area in which the ring had been located was pretty much bare. Prior to searching the internet for additional help they tried to sift through all the snow with a garden soil screen and used a heater to melt the snow. All of the snow from where the second ring was lost had been put into garbage cans and dumped alongside the house.

I started to look without much success, first over the original area and then where the new snow was dumped. I did have a really sweet sound but there was nothing there or so I thought. I was not having much luck and after having been in and out of the cold for several hours and with the darkness I decided I would need to come back. As I was getting ready to pack my gear I decided I should pull my car up and check the street again in case the plow came by before I came back out. I walked down and back and on my way back got a good hit. I dug into the packed snow and found the first ring that had been lost.

I got back in the car to head home with the promise of coming back out to look for the other ring. Glad to have found one although it was not the one I thought I would have located first. As I started home I couldn’t help but notice the car thermometer read -3.

The next day I contacted Vicki and told her I did not think I was going to be able to come out, however a couple of things changed and I was able to go back down. I was pretty confident that in the daylight I should be able to find the second ring. Well I was right…within about five minutes I located the ring. Remember the sweet sound I mentioned from the night before. I wanted to remove it from the ground so I would not keep hearing it. I had to dig down about a 1/8 -1/4 of an inch under the ground and there in the mud was Vicki’s ring. The ring must have gotten tramped into the ground during the moving and melting of the snow, but I had been expecting to find it on top of the ground.

I was glad to have found both rings – one that had a history of 48 years and the other that had one of just 34 days. It was great to meet another group of kind and generous people and find the first rings of 2025!

I received a call from Markus asking if I could help find his mother’s jewelry. Her home of 30 years had burned in the Altadena fire a couple of weeks ago, and although they had gone back looking 3 times, they were unable to find much of anything. He told me that she had a lot of jewelry, and really needed to find it. I let them know I was available to help them, so we arranged a time for us to meet at the site for the search.

We met at a local fast food restaurant, and then I followed Markus and his mother to the site. Driving through the destruction was just surreal. It looked like a movie set, and made my heart drop to know that so many people lost so much of what they worked their lives for. So many memories, all gone so fast.

When we got to the house there wasn’t much. Markus and his mother showed me where I should look for her jewelry, and so I began a meticulous search of each area they showed me. In the first area, where she said her best jewelry was, I found among other small items, a very large clump of melted gold that had formed around one of the bed legs. In another area where the silver was stored, I was able to find a lot of it (all melted), so much that it filled a basket. In the third area, I had to break apart a wall that had fallen in to access the last area, and there I found a whole bunch of somewhat intact jewelry, I think the wall may have protected it from completely melting down. I was able to fill a plastic container with all of that jewelry which included at least 7 watches, bracelets, rings, and necklaces. After a total of about 3 hours, I was able to help provide closure for Markus’ mom. It was a very humbling day for me.

Anniversary Gold Ring Dropped Inside a Vehicle! Charlton Heights Sherwood Park.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Adele called me asking if I was able to find her anniversary ring lost between her seats in her vehicle she told me she just left her nail salon and the nail care technician told her that her ring was very loose on her finger and she said to Adele to get her ring resized  before she lost it, While Adele was driving home she stopped at a red light, she took off her ring to switch the ring over to her other finger and thats when the ring fell between her seat and disappeared after I asked Adele my usual questions I agreed to help locate her ring. The next day Adele was going on Vacation for a week so the ring stayed in her Vehicle while she was gone, in the back of her mind she kept thinking of her ring, when she arrived back home  she did a Google search how to find a lost ring in a car and found the Ringfinders webpage and contacted me. While driving to Sherwood Park I said to myself this will be an easy search and it should not take long to locate her ring, I meet Adele at her home she took me into the garage and she told me that’s her car and the ring was in it somewhere because she heard a ring Ping and ring disappeared, Adele looked for the ring also her husband spent a couple of hours removing the mats and checking everywhere with no luck. I started to check the situation out and found out the only place the ring could be was the ring had made its way through the opening in the carpet and must have ended on the floor on her vehicle and that the ping she heard. I got my bore scope camera out and carefully inserted between the carpet and the vent, check around but could not see any sign of the ring so the next thing I removed the four bolts that held the seat to the frame of the car but could not disconnect the seat completely due to the Airbags where attached and if had disconnected the seat the Air bags could deploy. I then carefully cut a slit in the carpet where the vents came through the carpet to gain more access to the vehicle frame then through the bore scope I could see her ring then I was able to reach her ring and handed her ring back to Adele. Boy was I wrong when I said to myself this was going to be an easy search in total it took me over three hours to find the ring and put her vehicle back together again. Adele and her husband were overjoyed to have the ring back on her finger once again. Thank you Adele and Nick it was a pleasure meeting you both and having a successful search.

Ring Lost While Sledding: Recovered by Rob Ellis, Fairfax, VA.

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)

It was the first time Eugenio had seen snow. His wife and another couple decided to have some fun sledding on the Fairfax George Mason Campus. At some point, Eugenio noticed his platinum and gold wedding band was missing. He contacted me and the next day we set up a search. Eugenio got permission from the GMU police, and we met at the campus station. The short drive to the hill and walk to the sledding area seemed much longer because it was only 30 degrees Fahrenheit! I wanted to search for the ring before more sledders arrived and the ring was pushed deeper into the muck.

The hill had three sides the couples used for sledding. Metal detecting up and down the slopes was challenging, and the cold wind was brutal. I could sense Eugenio’s despair that we might not find his ring. Finally, at the base of the last search area, I heard a beautiful sounding target with my Equinox 900. I scrapped down a couple of inches to confirm and then called Eugenio over to pick up his beautiful ring.

Found Here!

Lost Gold Ring In Snow, Brandon, Manitoba

  • from Moose Jaw (Saskatchewan, Canada)

Karl called and said he lost his gold wedding ring in the snow when he was brushing the show off his hands on the boulevard in front of his house. He had searched the area with no luck and his wife found my name on the Ring Finders.

I made the trek 4 hours to Brandon, Manitoba, on my day off it was -24 degrees Celsius. Searching the boulevard, it was covered in 11 inches of frozen snow. After two false readings near what should be gold on the metal detector the ring was found in the ice on the road in the curb area.

Thank you, Karl, on the opportunity to find your gold wedding ring.

This previous Saturday I noticed a missed text message at 1:24am from someone who needed help finding a lost ring in Mission beach San Diego. I text her back immediately after waking up,,With a few more questions I decided to head that way in the dark as the sun was close to rising.

Upon meeting Hayley at the scene of the lost ring she showed me the area along a row of fire pits where her & many others spent hours sifting through the beach sands in hopes to find it. Although these fire pit search areas are littered with nails,Foil & many other buried pieces of trash I still managed to unearth her precious Gold Ring within minutes of swinging my Metal Detector.

Recovered 10 year anniversary wedding ring at Northstar- Lake Tahoe.

  • from Reno (Nevada, United States)

I was contacted by the couple several days after it was lost in the snow  while having a snowball fight. They searched themselves before their stay had ended and thought the ring was lost for good.  Several days later they heard about TheRingFinders website and contacted me. I made the drive to the location they had lost it and after 30 minutes of a grid search I found it!  It’s tough celebrating by yourself but it sure felt good to make the call telling them I found it. She didn’t want to take the risk having me mail it back to her and they made the drive up to meet me today. It’s always an awesome giving it back to them and seeing their expressions.

Lost gold ring while planting flowers in Lake Alfred, Florida…found with a metal detector!

Mike’s Emergency Metal Detecting Service…just for you if you lost a ring or something precious to you.  Don’t wait until tomorrow…call or text me now at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Mr Chester was planting some new plants in his front yard and using a post hole digger and other tools he managed to get the holes dug deep enough to hold some new soil and using his hands he began setting the first plant.  Only minutes into the planting process he felt his large gold ring slip off of his finger and he immediately picked it up, brushed it off and put it back on his finger…thinking that now he would be more careful.  Ten minutes later Mr Chester again noticed that his beautiful gold and diamond ring was not on his finger and this time he figured it had to be deep down in one of those holes he had just dug and filled.  Not wanting to totally pull up the plants and sift all the dirt, he got to thinking about other ways to locate his lost ring and that thought led him to search online for a “Ring Finder” and up popped theringfinders.com and one of my successful ring search and recovery stories.  He called me and we made plans to meet up at his place the following Saturday.  Mr Chester was 99% positive that he lost it in the dirt while planting so that is where I concentrated my efforts.  I recovered two small items of aluminum and the 3rd signal was strong and repeatable which proved to be Mr Chester’s lost gold ring!  It truly was an honor and privilege to meet Mr Chester and to be able to help him find what he thought he would never see again.

Have you lost something and need my help?  Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk!

LOST WEDDING BAND IN NEW IBERIA, LA.-FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Lani’s husband lost his black tungsten wedding band in a field near their home. They searched with and without a metal detector for a week. I got the call, and once I had an understanding of the job, made the 45-minute trip to the location. I met with Lani to go over the area where the ring was lost. I laid out a search area of about 1000 square feet. The first half was dry, the second had 1″ of water with the grass being about 4 inches tall. The whole area was trash-free, so all sounds were taken seriously.  About halfway thru the second half (the wet one) I got a strong 48 reading on my Garrett. Had to move grass and poke around with the pin-pointer for the ring.  Lani was very happy and so was I. Thank you, Lani, for the generous reward.

Lost diamond ring found

  • from Waikīkī Beach (Hawaii, United States)

ITS A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I got a call about a lost wedding ring from Kuuipo. She explained how the ring was lost and I asked her to draw me out a map to help narrow the search area. After gathering as much information as possible I was faced with a hunt that was either gonna be on a lawn close to the beach or on the sand. I gathered my family and headed down to the spot. After careful searching on the lawn to no avail I started my way  onto the beach. As I started my gridding pattern towards the ocean I picked up a few coins which made me very happy because I knew that no one else came to this beach and metal detected. after my first pass down the beach I started my second leg while overlapping and around midway through I hear a tone that would make anyone stop in their tracks. I dig in the sand gently being careful and inside the Xtreme scoop is what was lost and now found a beautiful diamond ring. I smile as I retrieve the ring while onlookers are in anticipation. I say loudly … she will be happy. The beach goers asked if I was looking for something and I replied not no more. I get to call her about the good news. I found her lost ring! Another successful find.
