 A New Partner for Lost History in NWA

My name is Jacob Hogue, and I am proud to officially launch my professional recovery service as a member of The Ring Finders Metal Detecting Service here in Northwest Arkansas. My mission is simple: to help you continue the story of your most sentimental possessions when they go missing. Whether it’s a wedding band lost in a Cave Springs backyard, a family heirloom dropped at Osage Park, or car keys buried in the snow at a local trail, I am here to help you find what you thought was lost forever.

Why Call a Specialist?

Many people try to rent or buy a detector themselves, but without years of experience, the chances of finding a small ring are slim. I use professional-grade equipment like the Minelab X-Terra Pro, which features advanced Pro-Switch technology. For jewelry recovery, I manually switch my frequency to 15 kHz, the “sweet spot” for detecting gold, platinum, and fine silver that standard detectors often miss.

My “No-Risk” Professional Approach

I believe that professional recovery should be accessible to everyone in our community. That’s why I operate on a unique business model designed to put your mind at ease:

• Transparent Pricing: I charge a modest $65 call-out fee to cover my travel and gas across the NWA area.

• Reward-Based Recovery*: My actual finding fee is on a Reward Basis—you pay what the item is worth to you only after it’s back in your hand.

• The Book of Smiles: Every successful recovery is a chance to add to my local “Book of Smiles,” documenting the moment we turn a tragedy back into a celebration.

Serving Cave Springs, Bentonville, Rogers, and beyond…

I am currently the exclusive Ring Finders member listed for this region, and I am ready to respond. If you’ve lost something in Cave Springs, Bentonville, Rogers, or Fayetteville, don’t wait. The sooner we start a professional grid search, the higher the chance of a successful recovery.

Lost wedding band recovered

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:
This past weekend I received a call from Kyle after he found my information on theringfinders.com. He had lost his 18 kt gold wedding band while throwing the ball for his dog Moose. He had seen the ring go flying and even seen where it bounced off the concrete patio. He raked the yard, spent time on his hands and knees and even purchased a pinpointer from a large on-line retailer. But his attempts to find the ring were fruitless.
Stephanie Hobbs and I were at his house within an hour of taking his call. We scoured the yard with our detectors, searching some of the area multiple times. Stephanie asked Kyle if he knew his neighbors, thinking that the ring may have flow over or through the fence. He did not know the neighbors well and it appeared they may not be home anyway. Then Stephaie asked if he had a ladder so that we could look over the fence, he only had a stepstool. Due to the lack of height in Stephanie I had to get on the stepstool to peer over the fence. Within a few seconds I spotted the ring laying in the mulch on the neighbor’s side of the fence. I got down off the stepstool and reached under the fence as Kyle guided me, I pulled a hand full of mulch to our side of the fence. That is when Stephanie used her pinpointer to locate the ring. TEAM WORK was the word for the day.

Lost gold engagement ring with beautiful diamond in Longview, WA. – FOUND!

  • from Vancouver (Washington, United States)
Contact:

     

Early Sunday morning, I got a call from Connor in Longview, Washington. His wife had lost her wedding ring, and he was hoping I could help track it down.

A couple of days earlier, the two of them had been tossing a football in their front yard when, mid-throw, his wife saw her diamond ring slip off her finger. She watched it catch the light as it sailed through the air before disappearing somewhere in the lawn. Over the next few days, Connor, his wife, and a group of friends searched tirelessly—on their hands and knees, combing through the grass. They even sectioned off the area they believed it landed in and carefully cut the lawn down to the dirt with scissors. When that didn’t work, they bought a metal detector, only to discover it wasn’t as straightforward as they’d hoped.

The yard presented a unique challenge. The ring had been lost near pad-mounted electrical transformer boxes, and the property sat beneath overhead power lines. Between the underground conduit and the electrical interference from above, the detector constantly gave false signals. Thinking the issue might be the equipment, they upgraded to a better model—but the results were the same.

That’s when they found me on RingFinders.

We scheduled a visit for later that day, and my wife, my 10-year-old daughter, and I made the trip out. We began by gridding off the front yard and doing a careful sweep. I adjusted my detector settings several times to compensate for the electrical interference. After covering the most likely areas, I noticed an old project pickup truck sitting near where they had been playing. It had no engine and looked like it hadn’t moved in quite some time.

I asked Connor if we could shift it. He hooked up some tow straps and pulled it forward about 15 feet, giving us access to the ground beneath. Earlier, my wife had tried reaching under it with a pinpointer, but the truck’s metal frame had made it impossible to get a clear signal.

Once the truck was out of the way, I made a few passes over the patch of overgrown grass where it had been sitting. Then—BOOM. A strong, clean signal, shallow and right in the gold range. I bent down, lifted a clump of dried grass—likely tossed there when they had hand cut the lawn with scissors—and there it was. The ring, nestled at the bottom.

I handed it to my wife, who presented it to Connor just as he was finishing parking the truck. The look on his face said everything—pure relief and joy. He was incredibly generous and later left us a kind review that we’ve since added to our testimonials.

As we drove home, I thought about something my daughter had done before we left for Longview on our ring find—she had prayed that we’d find the ring. Well, prayer answered! 🙏

Nathan had contacted me, asking me if I could find a ring that he lost 2 years ago in a sand pit lake. We chatted, set up a day and met out there. He showed me the area that he thought it was in. Water was 60 degrees so my plan was to use hip waders and then progress to 8mm wet suite backed by my Blu3 Nomad dive system.  On the last pass before needing to break out the dive equipment I got the signal. In the scoop was a ring of 15 years. Alway my honor to help someone get back something so irreplaceable.

Cell Phone Lost in a Retention Pond in Marmora NJ

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

I received a text from an unknown number asking if I am the guy who finds things. His co-worker lost a cell phone in a retention pond. I started asking questions like, “How deep is the pond?” He said 4 – 5 feet deep. He then put me in touch with Danyl.

Danyl said that her son was using her phone and received some very upsetting news. He threw her phone & it ended up in the pond. Turns out Danyl is also a 1st responder in Ventnor. Our schedules weren’t lining up. We were able to meet 2 weeks later. I told her it was a slim chance that a phone underwater that long would still work. She wanted to try, since there were pictures on it that weren’t backed up.

Picture 1 shows the pond. I put on my chest waders and walked into the pond. After a few feet, I turned around and exited the pond. I said that I couldn’t search the pond on foot because there were too many roots, stumps, and vines under the water. A major tripping hazard. If I tripped in chest-deep water, my waders would fill up and possibly get submerged.
I asked if I could use her nearby kayak. She said yes and retrieved it for me. After loading myself & my gear, I said I am probably going to drown anyway, as I was only on a kayak once before.
I launched and immediately realized it wasn’t going to be as easy as I thought. Every time I swung my metal detector, it sent the kayak in a different direction. The water is about 4 feet deep, and the paddle is about 5 feet long. I started jamming the paddle into the muck, swinging my detector, keeping the paddle a few feet away, and repeating the process. After a while, I realized I was getting no metal hits. You would think I would be finding beer or soda cans, bottle caps, or fishing gear.
Still no sounds after 2.5 hours of searching. I said to myself, one more trip up and back, as I was doing a grid pattern. On the way up I finally got a loud hit. It was fairly large. I tried to use my scoop to retrieve the item. But because of the roots & vines, I couldn’t get it. Danyl said she had been searching for it since it was lost while she was magnet fishing on her kayak. I didn’t want to move, so I asked if there was a way she could bring me the magnet. She went and got another kayak. When she got to me, she tried several times to fish it out. I had her move away a little & give me the magnet. On my first drop, I felt it click on. I gave her the rope and told her to bring up her phone.
We both were amazed when we saw it was her phone. When we got back to the shore, I put the phone on a table leaning upright with the charging port down in direct sunlight to start the drying process. I told her not to power it on or charge it for at least a week. When the sun went down, to get a Tupperware bowl & put an inch of rice on the bottom. Then place her phone on the rice, and then cover the phone with even more rice. Leave it in the rice for at least 1 week.
After a week, she plugged in the charger, and it lit up with a message, water detected. She contacted me, and I said to put it back in the rice for another week. 10 days later, she texted me. With the message that it was from the phone we rescued.
All I could say was wow. I love helping people, but helping another 1st responder is extra special. She is a paid firefighter with 20ish years in. The person who originally contacted me was her captain. We shared a lot of stories.
I am dedicated to finding your lost items!
I love my hobby!!

Forsyth, Stokes, Davidson, Davie, Yadkin and Wilkes Counties Metal Detecting Service… Lost your Ring, Cell Phone or Keys… Call ASAP – TheRingFinders Brad (336) 793-5698.

  • from Winston-Salem (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I received a message on social media reply to a post where I had assisted a lady in locating a tool she had dropped in her yard.  She explained that she had lost her diamond ring in her yard while randomly pulling weeds over a year ago.  Her main question was could it be found after this amount of time.  I responded absolutely that rings have been found that have been lost for hundreds of years and precious metals hold up very well in the soil.

We scheduled a day and time for me to review the area that she thought it could have dropped.  We searched four areas of her home with negative results.  After an hour she wanted to stop the search so she could prepare a meal for her family.  Even though not immediately found we know where the ring is not hiding and I hope to schedule time and perform a broader search around her home.

Most important if you are reading this and have lost a ring or valuable item “Do Not” post specifics on social media with pictures and where you last saw the item.  Social media is great but also not so honest people are there as well that will gladly take your information and search for your item for their personal gain.  Its sad but does often occur.  Please reach out to me or another reputable individual that may be able to assist you in locating your item.

This is a hobby for me and not a business so any reward you provide other than expenses I gladly accept and in turn share with local non-profits and St. Jude Children’s hospital.

I love my hobby and more importantly the smiles on peoples faces when their items are found.
