Down the Rabbit Hole…..

…… began with Joe’s new yard project. The gravel he ordered after he tore up some grass didn’t show up and throughout the day tools went missing and machinery malfunctioned. To escalate matters his wedding ring fell off his finger and he didn’t know where in the yard it was. I did a grid search with my MXT metal detector where he said he was working but nothing came up. Going out further from the house I got a good signal in the wet grass and as I moved around it my foot slipped into a slight dip in the ground almost twisting my ankle. Reaching into the dip in the ground my pin pointer metal detector went off. Parting the grass back revealed Joe’s ring! His back was turned to me but as I yelled to him, he came running over and said that he had filled the rabbit hole in a while ago after the bunny’s left and said it must have settled leaving a small divot. Super Happy to be Out of the Rabbit Hole, Joe took a nice long look at his ring realizing that even tho this journey down the rabbit hole was over, he now had a deeper understanding of what’s important and that the rabbit hole is only as deep as you make it!

Lost and found gold wedding ring Sandbanks Ontario

Contact:

Received a call earlier today from Oscar about him having lost his gold wedding ring yesterday while swimming at Outlet beach in Sandbanks Provincial park. Weather was calling for severe thunderstorms warning early afternoon but once the bad weather rolled through, I headed to Sandbanks for the ring recovery. Time is of the essence to get searching quickly as there are a lot of metal detectorists looking for gold at this location. Having talked with Oscar extensively, I was able to use Google Earth, mark important reference points and send him back the picture to confirm I was going to be looking for his ring in the right area. Once at the beach, we had a quick FaceTime session to confirm the location. I headed in the water and started to grid the area carefully. Within 30 minutes of the search, I heard the sweet sound of his gold ring, at about 5 feet deep, within the general area he had lost it while swimming. We met later on this evening, with his lovely wife Samantha, and returned his ring. Really nice and sweet couple and extremely happy to be reunited with this special wedding ring. Another happy ending. Life is good!

Lost and found gold diamond wedding band in Havelock Ontario

Contact:

Today’s recovery took me to Havelock area, to a local camp ground. Kelly called me to see if I could recover her husband’s custom made gold diamond wedding band at a local pond within the campground where they are staying. Joe and a friend were in the pond, anchoring a huge floating trampoline using ropes and cinder blocks. While securing the ropes, he felt his large custom gold ring fall off his finger in about ten feet of water. Unfortunately, Joe is currently working away and was not able to meet me but I did talk to him the evening before to gather as much information as possible. Conditions were not favourable, with at least two feet high thick solid weed bed and a foot of silt beneath the weeds. After 90 minutes under water, with perseverance and lots of work through the weeds and various metal items, I finally found his gorgeous ring. It had worked it’s way through the weeds and into the silt about six inches. Another happy ending and so happy I was able to give the ring back to kelly right there and then. She called Joe right away and shared the good news. Life is good!

69-year-old wedding ring lost and found – Lake Mills, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Johnson Creek, Wisconsin residents, Lyle (Spike) and Bonnie Klockow, celebrated their 69th anniversary with their family on Monday, June 23rd. Returning from a boating excursion on Rock Lake the following morning, Lyle wrung rainwater out of some rags over the side of the boat. That’s when his precious wedding ring slipped off his hand and disappeared in the dark water. Recent weight loss caused Lyle’s ring to fit more loosely than normal. On his hand for nearly seven decades, the ring was now gone. The loss left Lyle feeling horribly disappointed. For sixty-nine years, the ring had served as tangible evidence of his marriage to Bonnie. The memories were innumerable.
I received a phone call from Terrie, Lyle’s daughter and made arrangements to meet up with the family at her aunt’s lakeside home. Monte, Terrie’s brother, led the way to the boat dock. Lyle arrived soon afterward and confirmed the approximate location where the ring had come off his hand.

The presence of metallic objects in the silt set my detector off with a staccato of signals. Armed with a description of the ring I was able to ignore many of these objects and hone in on those with promising conductivity numbers, those consistent with gold. An ancient brass shotgun shell was excavated, evidence of bygone duck-hunting escapades. Then, not far from where Lyle believed the ring left his hand, a solid ‘70’ on my controller indicated the presence of a target consistent with a white-gold ring. Sorting through the mud, stones and sticks in my scoop, Lyle’s ring appeared at last!

Bonnie, who was sitting with the rest of the family on their back deck, was curious about all the activity down by the dock. Who was the strange man and what was he doing wading in the water? Lyle had not told her about his missing wedding ring. He didn’t want to upset her. This made the reveal all the more fun. And the beautiful smiles on the couple’s faces tell the rest of the story.

If you or someone you know has lost a ring or precious jewelry item, don’t let its story end. With over forty years of metal-detecting experience, chances are we can add your smile to the growing list of happy clients. Long lost or recent, on land or in water, call today!

Sparklers in the Grass…..

As Amanda was starting to celebrate today, she started by taking a plunge into a cool pool. Shortly after a volleyball game started. After splashing around a bit, she got out, got dressed and wandered around the yard with some sparklers, the children and dogs. Sitting for a bite to eat a friend noticed her ring missing. Quite a few people ran to the pool, but the missing ring was not there. I started my grid search on the side of the yard where she had been. My MXT metal detector was quiet but then I heard a loud BOOM in the headphones! I yelled out that fireworks just sounded in my headphones! As Amanda and friends came running, I parted the grass and revealed some pretty sparklers in the form of diamonds and a gold ring hiding in the grass! Amanda was thrilled and took a few minutes to catch her breath. Now the fuse was lit to a grand celebration!

Lost and found gold wedding ring in Cobourg Ontario

Contact:

Received a phone call from Parshant late last evening. He and his brother and family had spent the day at Cobourg beach when disaster struck. While playing volleyball in the water, he felt and saw his 22k gold wedding band fly off his finger while hitting the ball. After a frantic search for over an hour, they manage to find me via the Ringfinder’s website. I gathered all the required equipment and headed to Cobourg beach. The issue was that they couldn’t quite remember exactly where the ring had fallen off and ended up with a very large search area. After searching for over an hour and a half, it was now dark. I decided to come back the following morning for a fresh start. As this beach is heavily hunted by metal detectorists, and following a long weekend with Canada day festivities, I had to find this ring ASAP. Using grid markers along the shore, I was able to grid the area properly and within thirty minutes, I finally was able to scoop the ring out of the water and return it to its rightful owner this evening. Another happy ending and beautiful day at the beach. Life is good.

Huge gold chain lost and found in Apsley Ontario

Contact:

Received a text from Lou yesterday about him having lost his gold chain while swimming. Lou, and his young family, had rented a cottage near Apsley on Chandos lake. While playing with the kids, he did a few dives off the dock only to realize later that his huge gold chain was no longer around his neck. After arriving early this morning and getting situated, I got in the water and went to work with my Excalibur II under water metal detector. After eliminating a few trash signals, I heard the sweet tone of gold and found his chain within ten minutes. Although the chain is very valuable due to the size and weight, it is priceless as it was given to him by his grandmother. Another happy ending.

Platinum Wedding Band Lost While Cutting Yard-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Kevin had contacted me and said he had lost his wedding band in the yard while cutting the grass. They had looked for it for a couple of days but the weeds in that area were quite tall and finding a ring visually was out of the question. I found the ring in an area where the weeds were around eight inches tall. Total search time was around an hour.

Gold Wedding Band Lost Right After Wedding-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Linsey called me and said they had held a wedding venue in their yard for their daughter and son-in-law. Her yard was quite large and her son-in-law had lost his ring right after the wedding. She had purchased a metal detector but struck out.  Because of the size of the yard I set up a grid search and it took me all of two hours before I found it. Her daughter and son-in-law were out of town at the time.

Lost White Gold Ring w/Diamonds Found in Elizabeth Park, Trenton Michigan

Slippery Slope…..

…..Only a month into their engagement, Billy and his fiancée wanted to take a few pictures in beautiful Elizabeth Park. The park boasts of gorgeous scenery and picturesque bridges spanning small water channel off the Detroit River. The park also was a spot for a few war of 1812 skirmishes and has been quite attractive to relic hunters over the years. Arriving at the park they were welcomed by a brief rainstorm. After parking, as they descended a grass slope towards a bridge, she slipped on the grass and tumbled to the bottom. Regaining composure, they made it to the bridge. After a few pics they came back towards the car on a flatter route. At the car she discovered her ring missing. Being familiar with the park I knew where the young couple had this mishap. Using my MXT metal detector I started halfway between the slope and bridge. Grid searching carefully as I got near the bridge, I got a great signal. Reaching down with my hand-held pin pointer revealed her ring! I shouted out to Billy who was about 100 feet away still combing the slope. He ran towards me and was amazed that the ring was there! Billy agreed that the recovery helps sets the stage for their marriage being able to handle any type of terrain.
