Centreville, Virginia Search for Lost Diamond Pendant…Found by Metal Detector Expert

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Nicholas’s 16th birthday gift from his special aunt…a white gold and multiple diamond pendant.

The first year college student excitedly holds up his beloved pendant after metal detectorist, Brian Rudolph, successfully metal detected the piece of jewelry on Nicholas’s friend’s back lawn.

Nicholas was over at a friend’s house for a party one evening. He was wearing a white gold diamond pendant that was given to him by his aunt for his 16th birthday (2 years earlier).

Because the chain which the pendant was hanging from was partially broken, Nicholas would occasionally look down to make sure that the piece of jewelry was still hanging around his neck.

During the party, Nicholas and a couple of friends started play wrestling. The 18-year-old college student continued to take inventory regarding his treasured pendant following the “horsing around”.

At some point, the guys decided to leave the house through the basement door and go take a drive over to the nearby 7-Eleven. As soon as Nicholas walked approximately 10 feet or so across the back lawn, he looked down (using the moon as his lighting source) and he noticed that his beloved 16th birthday gift was no longer hanging from the chain.

Nicholas began searching for his lost white gold and diamond piece of jewelry but all of his efforts could not retrieve the pendant. It was about one-thirty in the morning, it was dark outside, the grass in some places was fairly thick and tall, and the sentimental keepsake was quite small in size.

The sad teenager immediately went online and searched for an answer to his problem. He found THE RING FINDERS, an elite international directory of metal detectorists who specialize in finding lost jewelry. He immediately left me a text message and a voicemail. Later that morning, I called the distressed college kid to discuss details regarding the lost pendant.

Sometime in the afternoon, I drove to Centreville, Virginia to meet up at Nicholas’s friend’s house where the white gold diamond pendant fell off of my client’s chain. I first asked Nicholas to reenact his walk from the walk-out basement steps all the way to the place on the grass where he realized his jewel was missing. He felt pretty sure that he checked the basement carpet and furniture and so his only conclusion was that the piece of gold was somewhere between the top step and 10 feet across the lawn.

I began metal detecting all of the footage surrounding the suspected site. Unfortunately, nothing turned up. I then did a perpendicular grid search just to make sure that I didn’t miss the pendant if it was stuck on an angle below the grass line. Still, I was again unsuccessful in recovering the item.

Next, I did some detailing around the concrete area at the top of the steps but that too proved to be free of the cherished 16th birthday gift. So, I then explained to Nicholas that the only method left for me to do was to change out my detector’s coil size and set my machine to a special mode that might help pick up the pendant’s gold properties if in fact the item was truly lost on the lawn.

As a result, I’m excited to share that the special strategy that I decided to implement proved to bring success to my lost pendant search attempt! One of the signals that got picked up by my metal detector was not one that had sounded off through my headphones earlier in the search. The piece e of jewelry was just too small for the detector to pick up the target signal when it was on one of the normal search modes.

I was so happy for Nicholas and he could not have been more excited for the work that I demonstrated during that nearly 2 hour search time frame. I wasn’t willing to give up until I initiated every last option that I could offer from my toolbox of experience and technology which ultimately brought the positive results that I and my client had been looking for!

Donnie celebrates the return of his beloved wedding band that had been lost for 3 months. Thanks to Brian Rudolph, a professional ring finder, the client’s irreplaceable ring was back on his finger within 5 minutes!

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Donnie lost his wedding band during the winter season while moving a hot tub somewhere in the backyard of his Upper Marlboro, Maryland townhouse.

The distressed newlywed tried using a metal detector and searched everywhere for the ring but unfortunately he could not find the zirconium 18 karat rose gold wedding band anywhere.

When all of his efforts failed, Donnie took to the internet and found THE RING FINDERS, an elite international directory of metal detectorists who specialize in finding lost jewelry of every kind. The young man reached out to me and we set up an appointment for me to come out to his home in Upper Marlboro, Maryland to see if I could find the missing wedding band.

It was my pleasure to metal detect and recover Donnie’s lost wedding ring! I found it in less than 5 minutes from the time that I powered up my detector! My client was beyond excited about my quick recovery of his cherished symbol of love! The large-sized zirconium and rose gold ring had already sunk into the dirt and was covered by earth and grass. Donnie would have never found his ring again without the help of a professional metal detectorist. It was my joy to serve this client and to preserve yet another important sentimental keepsake that would have been lost forever!

On the Minelab 800 it came in at 5 to 6 an the ATMax it came in at a solid 43. It was a really small white gold with diamonds ring. Glad we could find it for them.

How to find a lost ring by using ChatGPT

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your sentimental ring/watch/cell phone/keys… Call ASAP! The sooner the better 24/7 Chris-778-838-3463

I’ve been asking people how they find me online and I’m starting to hear people are using ChatGPT and finding TheRingFinders…Amazing!

I received a text message in regards to a lost Silver ring in a backyard, it did not sound like it was going to be a difficult search… But I’ve come to learn that some of the ones that sound easy turn out to be the hardest, and that was the case on this search that took over 2 1/2 hours.

Why it was so difficult was because of the amount of trash in this backyard that was causing my Metal Detector to beep on every inch of the yard. I knew I was looking for a high tone, but there was lots of high and low times everywhere.

I felt confident this ring was in the backyard so I continued searching until I did find it, and Murphy’s Law would have it that it would be in an area that it should not been in…

Always, always always think out of the box. I love my job! See you at the next smile!

 

Sterling Silver and Turquoise Ring Lost in the Old Orchard Beach sand, Found With a Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

Recovery and Return #76, for The Ring Finders of Maine

As my wife and I were on a 13 mile bike ride, I saw I had a Facebook PM, from an hour earlier, from Jessie. It said
“Hi!! My bf lost a ring in the residential area of Old Orchard Beach, Maine (near puffin st). Could you help us located it please? It’s circled in Red”.
I asked her a few questions about the location of where the ring was lost and she replied,
“The ring was lost very close to the house (Puffin St) on the beach. Right near the walkway to the road”.
Jessie then told me she was at work and her boyfriend, Matt would be calling me with more information. Matt call a few minutes later and told me that the ring would be in front of his Uncles house, on Puffin St, just 10 to 20 yards, out on the beach, going towards the water. The previous day, Sunday, September 15th, Matt and his cousins were throwing a football around, on the beach and Matt felt the ring come off, after throwing the football . Everyone in the group searched, for the ring, but it was already under the sand and out of sight.
Matt then sent me a photo of the ring and a photo, with a circled area, in which Matt was confident the ring would be in. Matt wasn’t sure just how far the ring flew off his finger, but was sure, it would be in the circle. Matt asked me if I could get down there in the next two or three days and search for his ring, he would appreciate it. I told Matt that I wasn’t waiting and would be searching, within a 1/2 hour, after finishing talking with him. A ring lost on the beach, should be searched for asap and as it was now, a full day has passed. If the beach cleaning machine had cleaned the beach already, the ring was probably lost forever. Another possibility is that another metal detectorist may have found it already. I just needed to get there asap and search.
When I arrived at the location, I saw that the beach had not been cleaned, by the beach rake. That was a huge relief. I decided to start at mid beach and grid the area, south to north , working my way towards the house. This was decided as I was communicating with Matt. I was on the beach and sending Matt photos, of the area, to try and verify the area, as best as we could. Once Matt told me

“That’s the house and spot, though it won’t be far from that location. Perfect!!! It would be closer to the houses, than the water, but that should do the trick”.

Now with the location verified, I started the grid search. I was finding very few targets as I was going along. A few pull tabs, a piece of foil and 1 quarter. The beach was very clean. After 35-40 minutes of searching and as I worked my was towards the houses, I finally received a really good target, right in the area, Matt had been throwing the football around. A very loud high tone and a 12-45/46 on my Minelab CDX-3030 VDI screen. Absolutely in the Sterling Silver range or possibly another quarter. I pulled my pinpointer out and stuck it into the sand. As I was moving it back and forth, Matt’s Sterling Silver ring with a blue and a white turquoise stone popped up and became visible to me. I didn’t even need to dig it, as it was barely under the surface. Wow, I knew Matt would be extremely happy and I sent him a text saying, “How does it feel”? Matt replied “Pardon”? I then sent Matt a photo of his ring, still in the sand, exactly as I found it, with the pinpointer. Matt then replied

“OMG! You’re incredible!!!!!. My deepest and endless thanks my friend. WOW! You’re a legend, for real”.
I sent back two laughing emojis 🤣😂

We then made plans to meet at my house, the next night, as Matt was going to be in Saco, Maine anyways. When Matt did arrive he was so polite and thankful and to,d me the ring was very special because it was a gift, from his girlfriend, Jessie. I am just so happy to have been able to help him, in his time of need. Being retired gives me the flexibility to leave anytime and search. I was afraid of the beach rake getting the ring but it all worked out and Matt now has the ring back on his finger and a smile, ear to ear.

Recently we rejected a request at Nice beach as follows:

Hello, I lost a wedding ring about a week ago, I believe while playing in the waves along the rocky beach in Nice.  I’m afraid it’s a lost cause because the waves are pretty big, the rocks are numerous, and the beach is crowded so if the ring washes up someone will find it.  The hotel told us see they see people regularly searching the beach with metal detectors.  But I found you online and thought it was worth a shot—have you by chance had any luck with a situation like this?

Response (actually by my wife)

Hello, 

Did you lose it on the Nice beach itself? The website explains that Nice beach is the only beach I won’t search.

 The rings descend very quickly in the rocks once you start moving them around. Also I don’t dive and the shoreline descends very rapidly, which prevents me from digging with my scoop.  

That place must be a diamond mine for all the people that lost their engagement rings that  I have had to turn down for several years.

I don’t charge for my time but do charge for my expenses and then (only if I find it for you , you can choose a reward that you want to give.

Otherwise, you are only obligated to pay my expenses (gas, toll booths and parking. It is a 5 hour round trip from where I live (1 hour north of marseille) 

I would really like to help , but don’t like to charge anyone for my expenses when I don’t believe I would be successful. 

If you are fortunate enough to find a scuba diver with a metal detector, but I don’t personally know of anyone.

I saw an underwater video of this area and the rocks turn to sand as the water deepens. 

I am hoping it can replaced without too much expense. 

Cordially,

Larry Griffith

Ocean City NJ Lost Promise Ring and Earings Found by Ring Finders South Jersey

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)

LOST A RING?

DON’T WAIT TO CALL

215-850-0188

Michael found me on Facebook through several recommendations to my Ring Finders South Jersey page. His daughter and friend had lost some jewelry on the beach in Ocean City, NJ. They were enjoying the day when they placed a promise ring, earrings, a class ring, and a necklace in the cup holder for safekeeping. While they swam in the ocean, they forgot that the jewelry was there and it fell out when they folded up the chair to leave. After realizing the jewelry was missing, they went back and found some of it, but couldn’t find the others. Thirty minutes later, I met Catherine and Erin on the beach in the general area and began a quick search with my metal detector. I found one earring, then another. One more sweep and then I found the promise ring! A happy ending in Ocean City, NJ!

Heirloom Wedding Ring Lost In Emerald Isle Waters Found Weeks Later

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

CRYSTAL COAST RING FINDERS – EMERALD ISLE, NC

Anna was walking in the shallow water with her son when a large wave knocked her son off his feet. When Anna grabbed him, her wedding band came off. The gold ring was given to Anna’s mother by her father’s great aunt, and Anna had worn it for five years in place of her own wedding rings. I began my first search for Anna’s ring one week after she lost it. Unfortunately, the sand had shifted, and I found very little metal that first hunt. The sand along the water’s edge stayed soft and deep, only giving up very light metals. My fourth search was three weeks later. I was also searching for a special bangle that was lost further out. As I was working along the shoreline, I received a very strong signal. As I moved the sea shells out of my sand scoop, I noticed Anna’s gold ring! I immediately left the water for the dry sand and inspected the ring that was a match to Anna’s description of the inscription. I sent her a few photos minutes later. Anna told me on the first attempt she had confidence in me finding her heirloom ring, and the fourth attempt she was correct! Thank you, Anna, for your trust, and it was a pleasure meeting you and your family.

Lost and found Rolex watch in Rideau river Ottawa

  • from Cobourg (Ontario, Canada)

Today was a very special recovery and a four weeks in the making. Chris was swimming in the Rideau river. As he slowly let himself go from the ladder off the back deck, the clasp of his heirloom Rolex watch came undone and watched in horror as the watch slip off his hand and sank into the water. This special watch was purchased by his mom, and given to his dad to celebrate his retirement after 33 years of loyal service with the Canadian Navy. It was given to Chris when his father passed. After having Scuba divers try to find the watch, on three separate occasions and some with underwater metal detectors, he started to loose hope of ever seing his watch again. Fortunately, he was able to put me within a twenty foot radius of where he believed the watch had fallen into the water. Unfortunately, had to deal with about five inches of silt which brings visibility to zero once you start swinging your coil. But, after finding multiple various metal items, I was finally able to feel the watch with my fingers under the coil of my detector. After surfacing, I was able to give Chris his father’s watch and get it back on his wrist. He was extremely happy and emotional and was a great moment for all. Another happy and special recovery. Life is good!
