Lost Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Homeland Baltimore, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message 2 days ago from Nick who lost his wedding band while gardening a few days prior. Not only was Nick confident that he lost it in his yard, he informed me that there were certain areas of the yard that he was concentrated in. We made plans to meet the very next day.

When I arrived, Nick greeted me and immediately showed me around his yard and where he felt were the highest probability areas. He then excused himself and went back inside his residence and I got to work, starting with the first high probability area. The good news is not only was I able to locate the ring, I set a new personal record of less than 2 minutes doing so! Keep in mind that this record was set not only due to my detecting skill, but to Nick’s guidance and recollection of where he was when he first realized the ring was no longer on his finger. The ring was only about 1/2″ below the surface of the recently disrupted soil, but that was deep enough to hide it completely from sight. As a side note, this is a perfect example as to why I do NOT charge an hourly rate for my service! With that said, I’ve recovered rings in the past that have taken may hours to locate, with the extreme being 3 location returns over a week period with a total of about 10 hours of searching! As you can see, working on a reward type basis makes sense for both parties involved. I digress! The good news is the ring that Nick’s grandfather gave him is now safely back where it belongs!!

Sydney called me to ask for help locating her lost wedding ring in her yard. Apparently she had taken her little one outside and let him walk in the grass and as he toddled around Sydney would allow him to hold on to her hands to steady himself and a half hour later she realized that her wedding ring was no longer on her finger. She frantically searched her yard hoping to find it and later thought about using a metal detector and that led her to theringfinders.com and one of these stories. I was able to meet Sydney later on that day and she walked around the house showing me areas where her little on had walked. At one point we stopped to talk and as we were talking I glanced down and spotted Sydney’s lost ring just laying in the grass. I told Sydney, “Hey look…there is your ring!” The sun was reflecting just perfectly off of her lost ring and I was able to just bend down and pick it up and both her and her mom teared up and we just stood there stunned and super thankful! It is always a HUGE BLESSING to find a lost ring and to able to place it in it’s rightful owners hand!

Diamond Ring Found Underwater by Rob Ellis and Ray Jones, Lake Anna, Virginia

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)

Rob and Christina Smiles!

Christina asked my help to find her lost engagement ring. While staying at a rental house on Lake Anna, she was with her sister in waist deep water and thought she felt the ring slip off her finger. Everyone at the house searched for the ring before she called me.

Christina’s beautiful diamond ring

She obtained the property manager’s permission to search, so I loaded up my SCUBA gear and made the hour and 45-minute drive to the site. Christina walked into the waist-deep, cool water, demonstrating how she thought her ring came off her finger. I carefully searched the area using jack stays and my circular search device. After a thorough hunt, I asked Christine if her ring could have slipped off somewhere else. She showed me where she had jumped off the dock and swam over to the beach.  After 4 and 1/2 hours, I was cold, exhausted, and disappointed. But I was not ready to give up!

I explained to Christina that I would return. I obtained permission from the rental manager and was back in the water in 4 days. I invited my friend Ray Jones to join me. Ray and I often team up, especially for water searches. Ray had decided to search in the shallow water using my Equinox 800.

I had just set up my search pattern near the dock when I heard Ray exclaim, he found Christina’s ring. He had started his search straight from the beach to where Christina thought she lost the ring. As he was walking in about 12 inches of water, he started using the detector. Surprisingly he heard a signal in the correct target tone on the third swing of the coil!

Ray and I met a couple of the neighbors, and one gave up permission to search in the private community dock area. We found some change, fishing rods, and a $10 bill! It was another great day with my friend Ray!

Christina and I met so I could return her beautiful engagement ring. Metal detecting underwater is a big investment in time and resources. After our combined thirteen hours of driving, SCUBA gear maintenance, use of high-quality metal detectors, and five hours search time, it doesn’t seem worth it. But, when I gave Christina her ring, the look on her face was priceless!!

For my metal detecting friends, here are the target identification numbers on the 3.5 gram, 14k gold diamond engagement ring: Deus 2=59, Equinox 900=25, Equinox 800=12

Don’t give up. Many of my clients have bought, borrowed, or rented a metal detector before calling me. Just because someone has a tool, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it. I use state-of-the-art equipment, and I have thousands of hours of experience searching on land and underwater. If you have tried using a detector without success, please text/call to see if I can help.

 

LOST 24k WEDDING RING IN MORRISVILLE, NC…..FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call that a young man had lost his 24k wedding ring while playing volleyball. They thought he lost it in the sand. I jumped in the truck and made the almost 2 hour drive.

I get there, get the story and begin my search. I searched the entire volleyball sand pit area 3-4 times and wasn’t coming up with the ring. One of the ladies had a 24k gold and it rang up a 91. I couldn’t believe it rang up that high until I found his ring.

I expanded my search area. After about an hour to hour and a half I went near the grass edge to the higher grass area in the direction of the water and I get a 94 signal! I look down and I can see a gold ring! Apprenatly the ring had bounced off the ball and went to his right about 10-15 feet!!

Another recovery in the books! This one was my 100th ring recovery since joining “The Ring Finders!”

Lost wedding ring – Dauphin Island, AL

 

It was Wednesday evening and I was enjoying dinner with my BFF and detecting partner in Gulf Shores when I got a call from Justin who was vacationing at the beach from St Louis, MO. In spite of my phone displaying an unknown number, something told me to answer it. He explained that he had lost his wedding band over on Dauphin Island and sounded quite desperate to find it. Since I was visiting my friend for a week, I suggested I could probably look for it on Friday when I was planning to pass through on my way back home to Mobile. Hearing the disappointment in his voice, I decided my friend and I could go ahead and hop on the ferry first thing Thursday morning instead and try to help him out.

Justin anxiously met us upon our arrival at his rental and explained that he had thrown a football and felt the ring come off as he did so. They had been looking in the sand for it but, being platinum, it blended right in with the sand. He showed us where he had been standing and had even staked out an area where he believed the ring to be. By the time I was getting my machine set up, Cheryl had already completed her first pass of the area we were going to grid. I took about three steps toward the area to start when I heard Cheryl right behind me say, “I found it”….. pretty much right where I had been standing when I turned on my detector lol. There’s a good reason she is becoming known in the area by her well deserved nickname – “Beach Angel”. For the second time this week, I was thankful to have her with me as she seems to have an uncanny ability to go right to the exact area when we are doing a search. And Justin was very thankful to put his ring back on his finger where it belonged ! And please check out his awesome ministry channel on YouTube – Trial by Faith ……

Titanium “Fitness Ring” Found near Pittsburgh, PA by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I received a text from Gabrielle asking me if I could come out and look for another lost ring. I say “another” because she called me last year to look for a different ring she had lost. Unfortunately I was unable to find it. I agreed to come out but I had to wait as yet another snow was on its way.

The weather cleared and I was able to head out to search for the ring. She believed it was in the back yard where she had been cleaning up. It was a large area and I got started only to find a ton of targets. After I had been through the garden and yard areas twice I was convinced I was not going to find a ring on this trip either. As I was leaving I decided to detect my way to my vehicle, maybe I would dumb into the first ring I had been looking for. Suddenly I got a repeatable grunt and looked down – there was the ring she had most recently lost! Gabrielle had stepped out so I texted her that I found it. She could not believe I found it and that it was in the front yard. It was great to see a former kind and generous client and this time to return her lost ring.

 

Gold wedding ring lost on gravel road in Weirsdale, Florida found with a metal detector.

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Austin was doing some work tamping dirt around a post by his front gate and his gold wedding ring was hurting his finger, so he took it off and set it on top of his golf cart. He was thinking that as soon as he finished setting the post he would grab his ring off of the roof of his golf cart and drive up the driveway to his house for a drink. Well…he totally forgot about his ring and drove up the driveway and as soon as he got to the garage he remembered his ring and when he stopped and checked the roof of his gold cart…NO RING! The area where he was working was rough grass, dirt and gravel so he looked the area over really good and then remembered that his father in law had a cheap metal detector and even after using that for a couple of hours he still was not able to locate his gold wedding ring. Looking online he found my number and gave me a call and an hour later we met and Austin showed me exactly where he was parked and where he drove his golf cart. I set up my metal detector and began searching the rough grassy area thinking that surely his gold wedding ring must have slipped off while going around the other gate post. Nothing was located there so I headed up the driveway sweeping along the right side of the gravel driveway 100 yards to the carport and then I headed back down the opposite side. There were tons of signals…pieces of aluminum cans, bullet casings and other signals that sounded similar to what a gold wedding ring would sound like. I was swinging my coil so it went a foot or so over the edge of the gravel road as there were allot of leaves along the edge and as I was finishing up the far side I got a blip of a good signal out on the road and I rechecked the target and BOOM! There was Austin’s gold wedding ring…just laying in the open on the gravel road for all to see. Austin could not believe it and we both just stood there and shook our heads in unbelief!
