Wedding Ring Lost at Venice Beach, CA…Recovery Maybe Providential?

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Kyla today asking if I could help her find a wedding ring. I told her that I would be glad to help her. I asked where she was, and she told me Venice Beach. I was out metal detecting close by, and told her I could be there in just minutes.

I met Kyla and her husband Andrew when I got there a very short time after the call, they showed me where the ring had been lost. It was her husbands ring that had been lost in the sand,  I looked in the area, and there was a lady with a toy metal detector searching the sand trying to help them, and I could see that she had looked in the area of the loss because the sand was completely smoothed out. It took all but about 3 minutes to find what I could tell had been searched for, for quite a while from the amount of smoothed out sand. I use the best equipment available to help the people I search for, and it does make a difference.

After handing Andrew his ring, and experiencing their joy, I asked them how long they had been married, and they told me 2 weeks. They were on their honeymoon from New Zealand, and they were due at the airport in 1 1/2 hours. I got to thinking, I was right where they needed me to be so they did not have to leave their token of love behind to go home, providence, maybe? I just so enjoy this service!

Andrew explains what the loss and recovery meant to him:

Thanks for your help at Venice re the lost wedding ring in the sand at the outdoor Gym.

” While on my Honeymoon in Santa Monica I lost my wedding ring at Venice Beach. A young lady saw me and my wife Kyla searching in the sand and advised there are “guys with metal detectors” walking the beach who could find it?

Immediately we jumped on google and did a search. We called Steve and explained the situation. He was with us in about 10 mins and ready to get his hunt on!

It took him about 2-5 mins and he found the ring! Without Steve we would have gone back to New Zealand with no ring and my wife and I would have been devastated. I cant thank him enough!

Having the ring found was umm lost for words ” a miracle!!” I don’t know what I would have done if Steve never crossed our path.

Thanks so much!”

Regards, Andrew

Gold Ring Lost in Snow .. Big Bear, CA. .. Found and Returned

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Ridhima sent me an email asking me if I could search for a ring lost in the snow at Big Bear, CA. I sent her a reply asking her to call me so we could discuss the circumstances of the loss.
Ridhima and her husband, Shashank had taken their 4 year old daughter to see the snow for the first time. They had only spent about an hour playing in the snow. On their way home Ridhima noticed her ring missing. It was too late to return to search for the ring and she was not sure where the loss occurred. When they got home they reviewed Celphone videos the had taken. The ring was on when they were playing in the snow. She got on the Internet, locating TheRingFinders.com.
We had one problem, they were not able to meet me at the location. I asked them to send me photos, and a google satellite map marked with approximate location. After seeing the photos and the map, I agreed to make the 100 mile trip to search the snow for the gold ring.
The next morning I arrived at the location dressed for the cold weather. The snow was less than 8″ deep which would be within range of my metal detector. The only thing I learned was that gloves are nice to have when digging in the snow for metal signals.
It only took an hour of grid searching the area to find Ridhima’s special ring. I sent her a photo and we met on my way home to return the ring. They couldn’t believe that the ring they thought was lost forever was now back where it belongs. I have more respect for our fellow ringfinders that search the snow. Many of my searches are on beaches in the sand, much easier.

White Gold Wedding Ring Found, Industrial Park Leduc, Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

 

 

Received a call last evening from Brad told me he lost his wedding band at work while hooking up to a trailer in the yard! And could I possibly help him find the ring. 

Meet Brad within one hour he showed me where his ring could possibly be? Brad explained to me how he lost his ring? he took his ring off and put the ring in his pocket while he was working also in his pocket was his truck keys and when he took the keys out to move the truck the ring must have fallen out? That narrowed the search to two possible areas approximately 20′ x 40′ each.  Since the temperature has been above Zero for the past week the yard was full of mud and a lot of metal pieces scattered all over the yard? This been said it was going to be a real challenge to locate the ring?  Brad did his best to try and find the ring with no luck at all.

Within 30 minutes of the search I found the ring buried in mud I called Brad over and asked him was that his ring in the mud he was over the moon to have his ring back on his finger Brad didn’t believe he would ever see his ring again, Another happy client!  Thank you Brad for entrusting me to finding your ring.

Platinum Wedding Ring Lost in Backyard .. Pasadena, CA. .. Found

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Thursday,  2-9-17

Peter called me early this morning from Pasadena, CA. He had lost his platinum wedding band in the back yard while gardening. He was sure that it was somewhere in the back yard. Although he had not felt the ring slip off his finger.
Peter’s plan was to rent a metal detector when he found TheRingFinders.com. He called me, asking if I was available. It was very important to have his ring for a formal wedding ceremony this next weekend.
Peter was at work but I was able to meet his wife, Nadia at noon. She showed me the area that Peter had done the most work. The ring did not show, so we expanded the area to where he had walked to get tools. As I was walking over to that location with Nadia, I got a short solid signal with my XP Deus metal detector. There, between the asphalt driveway and the grass was the platinum wedding band lying vertical. Nadia quickly bent down to retrieve the ring with a look of relief that they will now have this ring for their important wedding ceremony. Another happy successful recovery for me to remember. I love helping people find their precious sentimental keepsakes.

Lost anniversary ring recovered in Redmond after Washington snowstorm!

  • from Seattle (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Hello everyone, my name is Jason Anderson and I just wanted to use my first post to introduce myself and my services. I am a very determined detectorist and am looking forward to helping reunite you with your lost items in the greater Seattle/Bellevue/Eastside areas.

I am available to hunt for all kinds of lost items, not just rings… and I can travel further for searches on a case-by-case basis. I can even do shallow water hunts if need be.

My first case as a Ringfinder occurred this week after Washington got a bit of a snow storm. A woman had lost her rings in the snow after taking her wet gloves off. She was understandably upset and very hopeful I could help find her rings. I was able to travel to her city the next morning and it proved to be a difficult hunt in the snow… but I found her gold & diamond anniversary band! The other ring was still out there but it was getting dark so I scheduled a return trip to continue searching.

Before I could return, the snow quickly melted in the rain and luckily a neighbor found the remaining ring! All’s well that ends well! She was ecstatic and so am I!

Just remember, if you lost your ring or any other metal items that are important to you: Don’t give up hope, and time is of the essence! Give me a call or email me please! I want to help you find your rings, and your smiles! 🙂

Lost Platinum Wedding Band .. Dana Point, CA. .. Found in Tot Lot

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Mike had walked to a neighborhood park with his young son. While they were at the kids play area he noticed his platinum wedding band missing from his finger. The last time he remembered seeing his ring was at the house.
That night he returned to the swings which had wood chips on the ground. He thought that using a flashlight while raking through the ground cover might give him a glimpse of the ring. There still was a chance that his ring may have slipped off anywhere between the house and the park.
After discussing the details of the loss, I could only offer to search the places where the ring could be hiding. The most likely would be the child’s swing area where he was the most active.
Mike met me at the park early the next morning and it didn’t take long to get a nice low tone signal that turned out to be Mike’s platinum ring. I took a few minutes to show Mike how the detector works by digging a few coins in the same area.
I had high hopes that the ring would be in the swing area. I can recall at least 5 other rings recovered at swing sets. It has become easier to determine where a ring was lost after hearing many lost ring stories. Still, you never know unless you try.

Texas Aggie Ring Lost Found Returned!

  • from Kerrville (Texas, United States)
Contact:

         

Wednesday evening I received a call from Karen who said she found me by looking for Fredericksburg, TX. Metal Detector on Google. Karen told me that after removing brush and leaves from their yard to a burn pile her husband, Royce, noticed his Texas Aggie Ring was missing.  She asked if I could possibly help locate it. Being a Texan I asked her how big the yard was and if she had a good idea where it could have been lost. She answered “the yard is large but the area it might be in was only about a half an acre or so”. I said to her “If it’s in the yard then I will find it!” Knowing how important an Aggie ring is to a graduate of Texas A&M I made an appointment to meet with them today.

I decided to take my 9 year old grandson, Jake, with me on this recovery. After picking him up from school we headed over to their place east of Fredericksburg. Upon arrival at the house and after introductions were made we walked the different areas of the property that they had worked in. Well, the area was much larger than ½ acre and was spread out to about 100 yards from the house. I asked the investigative questions determining what, how, when, where. I came to the conclusion that the Aggie Ring could be anywhere in about a two acre area. Unfortunately Royce could not recall exactly where he happened to take off his gloves that day. With that in mind, Jake (he has his own detector and knows how to use it) and I “suited” up. I instructed him to start around the burn pile and I started  the yard area around the house. Knowing the lost gold ring was going to be big and on the surface I concentrated high tones. After about 25 minutes of swinging my Garrett AT Pro I received the unmistakable “BIG gold tone” in my headphones. Luck was with us! Reaching down and parting the grass was Royce’s huge Aggie ring. I waved to Jake to come over to where I was,  Royce must have sensed our excitement as he headed over to where we were. He gave out a big Aggie WHOOP and danced around for a while! Royce got Karen and we all did some dancing and hugging (Jake too)!

It sure was great to meet Royce and Karen and it was an honor to recover Royce’s lost ring for him. It was just as exciting to have Jake involved in the return. He and I had high fives and smiles all the way home. He sure has a story to tell his classmates in school tomorrow. Thanks goes to Royce and Karen for contacting TheRingFinders.com and for the handsome reward. Jake will get his share and the rest will go towards more metal detecting equipment for both of us.

Remember, if you lose your ring, jewelry, keys or other valuables just call a member of TheRingFinders.com. Each member is a highly skilled metal detectorists and will do their very best to get your item back to you!

Gold Ring Lost in Sand .. Laguna Beach, CA. .. Found and Returned

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

While doing some grocery shopping in Laguna Beach, I received a call from Jeff at 6:30 pm. My cellphone reception was poor inside the store. So I went outside where I could make out that Jeff had lost a ring in a beach about 2 miles south of where I was shopping.
He told me that he had put his heirloom wedding ring in the cupholder of his beach chair. He didn’t remember it till he was already home. This ring was originally his grandfather’s and irreplaceable. Both Jeff and his wife were upset about the loss.
Jeff got online to research renting a metal detector. He located TheRingFinders.com, where he was able to get my phone number. After he told me about the event that led to the loss, I told him I’d go to the location right away. He sounded surprised but agreed to meet me in a half hour.
15 minutes later I parked at Pearl St. It was dark out, so I put my head lamp on grabbed my detector and sand scoop then walked down 50 steps to the beach. Jeff told me about a driftwood hut near where they had been all day.. Walking and swinging my detector directly toward the hut,  I hit a perfect signal that proved to be Jeff’s ring.. I turned to walk back up the steps where I could see Jeff. We met at the the top of the cliff, where I gave him his ring and took a photo of his smile.
The next day Jeff sent me a testimonial which I will send to our TRF’s testimonial page. Jeff was truly grateful.
