Lost Ring Found in Wakefield, RI
Lucinda called me for help with finding her ring, a family heirloom. The beautiful diamond ring was a gift from her mom, who received the ring as a gift from her grandfather when she turned sixteen. Lucinda was very upset that she had lost the ring while weeding her garden. She and her husband looked for the ring and even bought a metal detector, without any success. That’s when they searched the internet for help and found TheRingFinders website. I searched the yard, garden, and pile of brush but didn’t locate the ring. Behind the pile of brush, there were bushes. After searching under the bushes, I decided to shake them. That’s when I saw something fall and discovered that it was the ring. Lucinda and her husband couldn’t believe it. She hugged me. They were so thankful that I could help return this precious item to them!











I had a guy to contact me several months ago about a high school class ring he had lost in 2005. He had since moved out of state up to Pennsylvania. This weekend being Mother’s day he was in town visiting family and had obtained permission from the current homeowners to do a search in the yard. So this has been several months in the making. He thought it was white gold, but wasn’t certain. I wasn’t sure what kind of signal I would get on my CTX, and I knew it would be several inches deep, so I was doomed to dig just about everything. I started up towards the house and worked my way down to the street, drawing my grid lines. I had been there about three hours and had dug a bag full of trash and modern coins. It’s slow going when you have to dig nearly everything. We had only about five feet of yard left before we got to the street when I got a signal that at first looked like trash. The CTX didn’t give me a VDI number, (I think there was trash very nearby), but I did have a consistent tone and a small tight target identification picture on the screen. Since it was consistent I dug it and out popped a ring that had been in the ground for 16 years. It was 3-4 inches deep, a little deeper than I thought it might be. Another happy ring owner!
