*** Virginia and Her family had gone to the beach to watch the Pacific Air Show. Her husband took his ring off putting it in his pocket. Later that day after returning to their RV camping spot. He discovered his White Gold Wedding ring was not in his pocket. 

He was sure that the ring could have come out of his pocket when he pulled his cellphone from the same pocket. They went back to the same beach for two days but had no success finding the ring. After 5 days and just before they were to return to  Arizona, Virginia called me. She was able to give me verbal directions as to where they had been when the ring may have fallen out of her husband’s pocket. 

I did a hour and a half grid search that evening in the dark to eliminate a large area. That evening I was able to talk to her husband to get his ideas of the area they had been. I sent him a google earth screen shot to show him where I had searched. The next morning with good sunlight which helps to keep a better grid pattern. His directions were a bit clearer. I did find his ring which was only 20 ft. just outside where I had stopped searching the night before. 

A very nice ring and very sentimental to the couple from  Arizona. They were able to return home having a great vacation with a happy ending.

Found Lost Duplicate Wedding Ring in Windsor Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

In the Spring of the year I received a call from Emily saying that she had lost her ring in the back yard of her house. Emily said she had been doing a Spring cleaning up of the yard and then noticed that her ring was missing. She stated that she and her husband had searched the yard, the trash bags and everywhere else that they could think to look. I agreed to come over to search too. I made 5 trips there to search  with different detectors and different coils but with no success. We all agreed that the ring probably was not there. Emily thanked me for my effort and we said our goodbyes.

Then on New Years Day Emily contacted me again. She said ” You are not going to believe this and I’m almost embarrassed to tell you but my husband had a duplicate ring made for me and I have lost it also.” She said that the ring was lost in the snow in the park adjacent to her house, The area was marked and would I mind coming over to try again.

When I arrived Emily, her two children, and I walked to the area that was marked with stakes and yellow caution tape. It was not a large area and I quickly covered it  but did not find the ring. So then I expanded my search area to outside the caution tape and quickly got a good signal. Emily, with the pin pointer, found the ring and stood up to hug me with tears in her eyes and the biggest smile on her face. We took pictures and said goodbye and I drove home knowing we all had a great day.

Found Wedding Ring in Terry Lake Ft. Collins CO

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Laura saying that she had lost her wedding ring in about five feet of water. She had marked the spot and could I help. We set up a time to meet.

When I arrived I was met by Laura and her two children along with her mother and father. The house was situated on Terry Lake in North Ft. Collins, Colorado. We introduced one another and  talked about the beautiful view of the lake with the Rocky Mountains in the background. As we walked towards the lake shore Laura told me that she had been swimming with her children. She said that she had a mosquito bite on her ring finger and when she moved the ring to scratch the spot the ring came off. That is when she put one foot down on the lake bottom and did not move it again. Laura called to her mom to bring out a 6 foot long T post to drive in to mark the spot right in front of her toes. That quick thinking had saved the day.

We waded out to the T post to where the water was almost chest high to me. With my left hand on the T post and my detector in my right hand I began making a circle searching the bottom very slowly. About three quarters of the way around the post I hit a good signal. Laura had called to her son to bring out a paddle board and a net. As I brought up scoop after scoop of muddy lake bottom I would dump it into the net on the paddle board for Laura to search through. The bottom was obscured by the silt that I was stirring up so I was going by feel only. After about 20 minutes and many scoops the target was still on the bottom. Finally I took a scoop, dumped it in the net and before I could get the coil back down to the lake bottom Laura let out a scream. I turned to see her holding her beautiful ring. We hugged while she cried, so happy to have her ring back on her finger again. The entire family was amazed that we were able to recover the ring from the lake bottom in 5 feet of water. We walked back to the patio where we talked more and they thanked me while I cleaned my gear before I headed home.

The next day Laura asked me if she could come by my house because she had something for me. She brought over some delicious baked goods and a beautiful arrangement of flowers for my wife. Such a kind gesture from a grateful lady.

Found Grandfathers Ring in Livermore Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Lisa in Livermore,CO saying that she had lost her grandfathers gold class ring and another silver ring in a horse pasture on her ranch. The ranch is up Highway 287 at the northern border just below the Wyoming State line. We arranged to meet the next day. When I arrived we talked and she told me how she and her grandfather were very close and how much the ring meant to her. We loaded up my gear in her truck and drove out to the pasture area. After parking we went through a gate and then walked about 500 yards out into the pasture, over small hills and around tall bushes. Lisa said she was working there, got hot and took off her coat and thinking she’d better not wear her rings, set them on the coat. Lisa stated that when she was finished working she just picked up her coat and started walking back to the truck. That’s when she realized her mistake.

I turned on my detector and Lisa pointed to the spot that she thought she had set her coat down with the rings on it.  The grass was long but laying down flat and thick. After about 10 minutes and two trash targets I hit a good solid repeatable signal. I gave Lisa the pin pointer and almost immediately she let out a scream. laid down flat on the ground face down and began to cry. We had found the gold class ring. After about a minute she stood up and hugged and thanked me. That was only one of two rings so I began searching again and hit another signal about 18 inches away from the first. That was the silver ring. Lisa said she had spent hours out there in the grass on her knees searching for those rings.

We made our way back to the ranch house and had some very welcome cold water. We sat and talked for about an hour before I headed home knowing we both had a great day.

Found Ring at Huntington Beach, CA

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I

I was working in Southern California for a few months so I had the opportunity to Metal Detect at Huntington Beach. Huntington Beach had been my beach of choice when I grew up in Southern California. Lots of good memories there.

I was detecting just on the North side of the pier at low tide on Sunday and found a class ring. San Gabriel Mission High School Class of 2018. The name on the ring was Maddi and it had an inscription inside the band that said…Breathing dreams like air.  A line from The Great Gatsby poem by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The next day, Monday, I called the school to tell them I had found a students’ ring. The person on the phone said we have Maddi working in the office this Summer. Let me have her call you back. My phone rang right away. Maddi said “I can’t believe you found my ring. I wasn’t supposed to be at the beach and my Mom said to not wear it at the beach. I’ve only had it 2 weeks and I’d already lost it. I’m in so much trouble.”  I asked her what the inscription said. “Breathing dreams like air” was her answer. I said Maddi I have your ring and I will bring it to the school at lunch time. The San Gabriel Mission HS was only 15 minutes from my work. Maddi was so happy and grateful to have her class ring back. She would be a senior when school began in the Fall. Good Luck Maddi

Found Lost Ring in Berthound Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Margaret saying she had lost her husband’s ring somewhere on her property. In talking to her  on the phone I could hear in her voice that she was very distraught. We agreed to meet the next morning.

Upon arriving Margaret told me that she had been wearing her husband’s ring since his passing. She was visibly upset saying that she had spent the day working around the house, in the garden, fed the horses and been down by the dock at the lake but did not notice the ring was missing until evening.

I said that it was a very large area to search. I began in the garden which was adjacent to the haystack. Margaret began feeding the horses and as I was watching her I noticed how she took the flakes of hay from the bales in the haystack and threw them over the fence. Finding only one piece of old copper pipe in the garden I moved to the haystack. With the pin pointer I checked in and around all of the bales where the hay was being pulled from. No Luck. Next I went inside the horse pen where the horses were feeding. The ground was damp from the recent snow and mucky from the horses. As I slowly swept the ground the horses reluctantly moved away. My detector beeped with a #7 showing on the visual display and 2 inches in depth. Margaret and I looked at each other. I said “Not to get your hopes up but this is a good gold signal and it’s not very deep.” Using the shovel I moved a piece of mud aside and checked it. The detector beeped again so I split the mud in half and found the part that had the target. I reached down, picked up the piece and broke it in half which revealed a gold mans ring shining brightly in the sunshine. Margaret was overcome with emotion that swept over me also. We hugged with her on one side of the fence and me on the other. She thanked me many times saying she thought the ring was lost forever.

We walked back to the house. Margaret offered me a cup of coffee to warm up and we talked about our children, grandchildren, and life. I drove home knowing we both had a very happy day.

Found Lost Widows Ring in Loveland, Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a text in the evening from Jae asking “Is this Greg The Ring Finder”?  I responded “Yes it is, may I call you”. I did and Jae began by saying that she had lost her sliver widows ring in her back yard. She had been playing with her dog in the snow at the time and had slipped and fallen down. When she got up she shook the snow from her hands. That is when she noticed that the ring was not on her finger. Jae stated that she and some friends that were visiting had sifted through the snow in an attempt to locate the silver ring but that they were unsuccessful. She and I agreed to meet the next day.

Upon arriving I greeted Jae and she showed me to the area in the back yard that she was standing when she noticed the ring missing. Jae was concerned that the search by she and her friends would make the ring more difficult to find.   I assured her that would not be the case.  I explained that because the ring was warm when it left her hand it should have melted it’s way down to the top of the grass and probably stayed right there.

I turned on my Minelab Equinox 800 detector, tuned and set it to the Coins and Jewelry mode. After only about six swings the detector beeped and registered a 26 on the visual display. The depth indicated about 6 inches under the coil. With my foot I moved away four inches of soft snow to reveal a layer of ice two inches thick. I was able to kick the ice and move a large chunk onto the snow. Swinging the coil over that ice indicated that the target was indeed in that piece. With my foot I broke the larger chunk of ice into four smaller parts and swung the coil over each one. The detector again beeped over the target and Jae picked it up. The ring was clearly visible on the edge of the ice. Jae and I hugged and she began to tear up saying how much the ring meant to her. She said  ” That’s amazing. I can’t believe that you found it so fast. We searched and searched and it was right there the entire time. ”

It was a great day having recovered and returned two rings to the owners!!!

Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Found in Ft. Collins Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Tim saying he had lost his gold wedding ring. He said that he was on his 2nd floor balcony and while shaking snow from his hands his ring came off. Tim said that he heard it hit the concrete floor once then did not hear it again. We arranged for me to come over the next morning to begin the recovery search. Tim said he would not be able to be there but his wife would be home.

The next morning when I arrived I was greeted by his wife Niccole who explained the situation and pointed out the likely search area. She said they had purchased a metal detector but could not find the ring because of all of the false     ” beeping and noises it was making”.  It was in a grassy area between two apartment buildings, snow covered with a lot of sprinklers and underground electrical services. After two trash targets we hit a solid repeatable signal reading 15 on the visual display and at a surface depth. Niccole had the pin pointer and in a short time had the ring in her hand and a big smile on her face. I took a picture of the ring and sent it to Tim. He called me excited that we had been successful because they both thought the ring was lost forever. We said goodbye and Niccole said that she would share The Ring Finders site with family and friends. I headed to my 2nd recovery for the day.

Wedding Ring Found in snow at CSU in Ft. Collins, Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Michael saying that he had lost his gold wedding ring the day before while walking through the Colorado State University Campus in Ft. Collins, Colorado and asked if I could help. We agreed to meet the following day at 10:00 am. When I arrived a few minutes early Michael was already on site. We said hello and began to discuss the circumstances surrounding the lost ring. The weather was very cold at about 20 degrees with a foot of snow and ice on the ground on the day the ring was lost. Michael said he walks with a spring in his step and swings his arms. He stated that he felt the ring slip to the tip of his finger on the forward swing but did not get his hand closed on the back swing in time to save the ring. He had marked the spot in the snow with his boot. On the CSU student blog Michael found someone who had a metal detector that came to help with no luck. He also had a few volunteers come out with strainers to sift through the snow with no success.

After a few minutes of talking I began by turning on my detector and tuning out all the surrounding electrical interference, most of which was coming from transformers about 25 feet to the South. We hit a few signals that turned out to be trash. Not surprising since we were searching along a sidewalk on a busy street. Then we hit a target with a strong repeatable signal. My detector visual display was reading a steady 17, a good gold number, and telling me that the target was not buried but was on the surface. Michael had the pin pointer so I asked him to begin to search a 5 inch round area. The pin pointer was sounding off but we could not see the ring so I told Michael to move some of the snow, ice and leaves. He did that and the pin pointer stopped beeping. I said “well you have moved the target and that’s a good sign that it’s on top”. I relocated the target with my detector and after checking again with the pin pointer Michael exclaimed ” There it is. there it is. I thought I would never see it again”. He jumped to his feet, stepped forward and hugged me and we high 5 ‘d each other smiling like a couple of kids. He took out his phone, took a picture and sent it to his wife. We walked to my truck to stow my gear. He thanked me many times telling me how much the ring meant to him. We parted ways both sure we had a great day.
