Lost Grandfathers Ring in Concrete Mix

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a gentleman who was mixing concrete for a row of 2 X 2 Steps.  He was making about 20 steps for a customers’ walkway.  In the process, due to some recent weight loss, his treasured ring which his Grandfather had worn his entire life and then passed on to our him disappeared.  Short story, he had the ring on, made 20 concrete steps and 2 hours later when finished the ring was gone.

He was pretty sure it was in the 3rd step as a bag of quikCrete had burst open and he had scooped concrete with his hands.  Upon arrival with our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors we began scanning each step.  Few normal beeps and noises until I reached the 1st step.  It was not a normal Gold Signal but it was extremely strong.  I told the customer, I’m not sure it’s your ring but there’s definitely something there.

He said OK and picked up the 2X2 step and threw it on the ground breaking it into pieces, then he yelled “There it Is”. He did a little dance in the yard, gave us a big hug and told us we made his year.

This hobby/business is so much fun…

Diamond Wedding Ring Recovered – Wake Forest!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I received a text from a woman who had lost her wedding ring after a “discussion” with her husband. He saw the ring fly up in the air, but it was nighttime and they hadn’t been able to find it the next day. As I was out of town on vacation, I contacted two friends and asked them to visit the woman and see if they could locate the ring. They each went to her house and searched but were unable to find it. When I got back to town I contacted her and asked if I could come out and give it one more try. She agreed and I made the hour drive to her house. Her husband explained the backstory and then detailed where they had looked for the ring, which seemed to cover all the obvious possibilities. I didn’t see much point in going over ground that had already been searched, but it seemed like he had thoroughly searched all the out-of-the-way places (in the rain gutter, on the roof, in the flower bed, etc.). Anyway, I decided to really scour the yard on the off-chance that it had been missed. On my third sweep across the front yard I got a solid signal and found it! As you can see in the pictures, it’s an impressive ring and when the husband told his wife that I had found it, she was absolutely beside herself. Very glad to be able to reunite the wife with her ring. Another Happy Ending!

Wedding Ring Recovery!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Got a call from a gentleman whose wife’s ring had gotten lost in the front yard. He was positive he knew where the ring was, but had not been able to find it, which is when he contacted me. We set up a time to meet and he took me through the scenario about how it came to be lost in the yard. It’s a somewhat personal story, so suffice it to say that there was a marital discussion and we’ll leave it at that. The good news: front yards are usually grass and are usually mowed, which makes recoveries easier. The bad news: front yards are typically where water lines, cable connections, and electrical power come in from the street, so it can be difficult to pick out a ring signal with all the interference and background noise. Apparently the ring-finding spirits were with me this morning and I was able to find the ring in 15 minutes or so. Although the husband is the one I spoke to, he assured me that his wife would be thrilled to have her ring back on her finger. Happy Ending! PS – Please excuse the gaping mouth in the photo – I was talking when I took the picture.

Lost white gold wedding band recovered from Bunganut Lake in Lyman, Maine with a metal detector.

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)

I received a call from Jeff who had lost his white gold wedding ring while swimming at a friends camp over the summer,  asking if I would be able to look for  it. Although the late October Sunday was an unseasonably warm day the waters of Bunganut Lake in Lyman had cooled off quite a bit since Jeff lost his ring. The search area was small with about a 10’ maximum depth, but strewn with large boulders which made navigating and detecting a challenge. After about two hours I was able locate and reunite Jeff with his ring which I found at the base of one of the boulders and covered in a couple inches of silt.

Lost 48 year old wedding ring – Found!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

Charles and Marty were visiting all the way from Seattle. When you have worn your wedding ring for 48 years and it goes missing on the beach, you can’t just let it go. Luckily Charles’ and his wife Marty tracked me down and asked me to give them a hand. They weren’t sure exactly where it had come off but they had good directions to where they had been sitting with their family the day before so that was a pretty good starting place. Marty and Charles weren’t able to be there for the search but I could hear how important this ring was to them in Marty’s voice when we spoke on the phone. I was thrilled when I called back later and asked where I could meet them to drop off Charles’ ring. They were almost in disbelief and the entire family cheered in the background. I met them later and got some fantastic hugs as we put the ring back where it belongs. Congratulations Charles and Marty!

Lost ring on the Beach at Night – FOUND!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

My wife and I were out of town this weekend but luckily Hannah was right down the road when she gave me a call. Hannah and her husband were walking on the beach the night before when her husband fell and felt his wedding band go flying. I searched the entire area they thought it might be but it was nowhere to be found. My wife pointed to another area and said, “what about over there?”  I said it couldn’t hurt to try and only went a few feet when the gold band came up gleaming in the sand. I don’t know who was prouder, my wife or Hannah. Her husband is going to be thrilled when he gets home from work. 😃

Lindsey lost her wedding ring set in her backyard.  After renting a detector to no avail, and searching at night with a flashlight with no luck, her neighbor contacted The Ringfinders.com and soon after I was at her home to meet her beautiful family.  We talked through the scenario and I showed her what the ring would sound like when I swung over it.  5 minutes later, another happy ending.  I love my job. 😊

Lost – Men’s Black Tungsten Wedding Band, Orlando, Fl – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Hurricane Milton ravaged Central Florida, coming in on the west coast and continuing across the state with torrential rain and destructive winds.  Don was out in his back yard cleaning up debris.  As he shook his hand after picking up leaves and muck, he felt his ring fly.

He looked and looked but knew with all the downed limbs and leaves…he needed help to find his wedding ring.  He found theringfinders.com com and gave them a call.  When I first contacted Don, I was out of town but arranged to meet him on Monday.

When I arrived at the Orlando home, Don led me to the back of his property, behind the pool and in a very dense part the yard with all types of tropical plants.  He explained how he lost the ring and had looked extensively.

I grabbed my Minelab Maticore with the small coil and headed for the back.  As I approached the area, I started getting hits from targets.  Sometimes back yards can be tough.  But as I got to the area, he lost the ring.  There was only one large, clear hit.   I dug through the sticks and leaves, and the ring popped out near the sand on the bottom of the pile.

It turned out to be a very short hunt and Don was elated to have his wedding ring back.  Another theringfinder.com happy customer.
