Lost Wedding Ring on the Beach, Beach Haven NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Maureen called to see if I could help find her husband’s wedding ring, which she had accidentally dropped in the sand earlier that day. They were visiting her mother and had decided to enjoy a warm afternoon at the beach and do a little fishing. Her husband had given her the ring to hold for safekeeping while he fished, but somehow it slipped from her hand into the soft, powdery sand. They had tried using their children’s sand toys to sift through the area, but with no luck.

Realizing they needed some extra help, they did a quick Google search, found my page, and called right away. I packed up my gear and headed over. When I arrived, they showed me the area where the ring had likely fallen and shared the details. With just a few swings of my metal detector, I picked up a promising signal, and sure enough—there was the ring in my scoop. They couldn’t believe how quickly it was recovered after spending hours searching. Sometimes, calling a professional right away is the best way to save time and make the most of the day!

When Lauren reached out to me she was extremely worried because her platinum wedding band had vanished while raking leaves. The ring belonged to her grandmother and represented a treasured family heirloom that carried emotional meaning spanning an entire century. She removed her rings early in the morning because she did not want to damage them during yard work. She placed them carefully inside her pocket with her phone and zipped it securely before beginning the cleanup.
At some point during the work she decided to put her rings back on her hand for safety. When she reached into her pocket she discovered the wedding band missing despite the zipper being fully closed. She searched through leaves and checked her steps repeatedly but the ring remained hidden beneath the yard debris. After realizing the search required professional help she contacted Ring Finders South Jersey for assistance locating the cherished heirloom.
After arriving I spoke with her about the exact areas she worked earlier in the day. Gathering those details helped me create a clear plan for searching the yard thoroughly with my metal detector. I began scanning near the leaf piles first because those areas often hide important items without showing any visible signs. The first section produced no tones matching the metal profile of platinum.
I moved to the next location just several feet away and swept slowly back and forth across the ground. Shortly after that I picked up a clean signal coming from beneath a thin layer of leaves near the side of her yard. I pushed the leaves aside carefully and immediately saw the platinum ring resting quietly underneath them. The moment felt incredible because I knew how much the heirloom meant to her entire family.
Lauren was overjoyed when she saw the ring back safely in her hands again. She could not believe how quickly everything changed from anxiety to complete relief and gratitude. Watching her smile while placing the hundred year old ring back on her finger was incredibly rewarding. Recoveries like this remind me why I love helping people find their lost valuables throughout South Jersey.
Every sentimental item carries a story that deserves to continue, and I am grateful to help make that possible.

Parts from broken equipment found by metal detectorist in Middle TN

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I met Tom at his gorgeous property in the hills of Middle TN to search for some parts from a piece of machinery that were lost almost five months ago near a creek at the back of the property. Tom said he had some friends with metal detectors search for the items, but they were unsuccessful in finding the missing parts. One of Tom’s co-workers did an online search and found my information on TheRingFinders directory. Tom expressed how important it was that these two missing pieces were found. He showed me the areas where he last saw the missing parts back in July, before the ground was covered in fallen leaves. Within an hour I was able to locate both pieces that Tom needed. This just goes to show that it’s not always expensive jewelry or lost car keys that people need our help finding.

Platinum Ring Recovered in River Ridge – Found in Seconds!

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I received a message from a gentleman in River Ridge whose wife lost her platinum ring while walking through the front yard. They had a good idea of the general area where it slipped off, but after searching through the grass with a Minelab metal detector they purchased at Academy, they still couldn’t locate it.

I arrived at his home, introduced myself, turned on my detector, and the very first beep I heard was her ring. The entire recovery took about 5 seconds from when I turned the Nokta Makro Simplex Ultra on.

Always a great feeling handing a sentimental piece back to the owner.

If you’ve lost a ring or any metal item don’t hesitate to reach out to Anthony Cuccia at (985) 445-4514.

Found! 111-Year-Old Heirloom Ring Lost in Snow – Kenosha, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

On December 8th, I was driving home to Waukesha, Wisconsin, from a successful ring search in McHenry, Illinois when my cellphone rang. The call was from Kenosha, Wisconsin, resident, Cheyene Hoppe. Cheyene and friends were enjoying a visit outside a downtown building two nights previous. That’s when a family heirloom ring went missing in the snow. The gold wedding ring was inscribed with the initials of Cheyene’s great grandfather along with the date of his wedding in 1914. He was married in Lithuania and later immigrated to the United States. Cheyene lovingly wore the ring in his memory. Now it was gone. She was heartbroken.

In the European way, Cheyene uses her hands a lot as she talks. But a flip of her hand resulted in the heirloom piece coming off. She had the sense that the ring ejected from her hand in an upward motion. But there was snow all around, including thick bushes, steps and landscaping. The ring could be anywhere.

Using my XP Deus II metal detector and hand probe, I carefully sifted through the snow on both sides of the walkway, probing in and around the snow-laden juniper bushes. The ring was nowhere to be found. Only three search locations remained, two planter boxes and a larger, 5’ tall box with several inches of snow covering them. The box was behind Cheyene at the time her ring came off. It had a sheet-metal top, which made using a metal detector out of the question. Instead, I used a small hand-held probe which allowed closer contact with the metal. Moving through the snow a few inches at a time, I cleared nearly two thirds of it from the box when a distinct beep noise announced the presence of a target. To everyone’s surprise, it was Cheyene’s heirloom ring! It was sitting in the snow on top of the box behind where she had been standing two nights before.

The smile on Cheyene’s face certainly tells the rest of the story! And I am so thrilled that the ring’s amazing 111-year-old story continues.

Found Lost Wedding Ring in Snow! – McHenry, Illinois.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Austin Gebert, was installing Christmas decorations in the front lawn of his McHenry, Illinois home when he lost his gold wedding ring. Nearly a foot of snow covered the ground. At one point, as Austin flipped snow off his cold bare hand, he felt the ring fly off. He told me on the phone, “It left my hand like a bullet.” The ring just vanished into the whiteness.

Austin reached out to me by phone on Sunday evening, December 7th. I arranged the hour-long drive the next morning and was greeted by Gabriela, Austin’s wife. She gave me a tour of the suspected lawn area. I noted several metallic Christmas decorations in the vicinity. These needed to be removed so as not to interfere with a metal-detection search.

An initial search failed to turn up Austin’s ring. I moved to a larger snow pile alongside the Gebert’s driveway where it had been shoveled. About 14 inches into the pile, I heard a faint signal in my headset. My trusty pin-pointer helped locate the target. Reaching in with my bare fingers I felt an unmistakable ring-like object and pulled it up and out into the light of day. Sure enough, it was Austin’s ring!

Since Austin was at work, I presented the ring to Gabriela whose face lit up like Christmas lights. Her smile tells the rest of the story.

Thank you, Austin, for the privilege of searching for and finding your missing wedding ring!

Found wedding ring lost in snow! – Glendale, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

A late November snowstorm gave Glendale, Wisconsin resident, Bob Goding, the opportunity to enjoy quality time with his grandchildren. The snow was just the right consistency for building a snowman. But in the process, Bob’s gold wedding ring went missing, most likely when he shook snow out of his glove. He contacted me a couple days later and we arranged to conduct a metal-detecting search for his ring on December 2nd.

On arrival, all that remained of poor Mr. Snowman, was a scattering of lumps. Bob and his wife had discretely dissected him (after the grandchildren had gone home), this in case the ring had become encased inside the jolly figure. Sadly, Bob’s ring remained at large. And Mr. Snowman’s lumpy remains only added insult to injury.

I embarked on a grid search in the front lawn where the snowman had been created. Boot prints of all sizes bore evidence happier times. As I expanded the search area, a signal in my headset invited attention. The conductivity numbers were in the range of a man’s gold ring. Indeed, the target turned out to be Bob’s missing, but now found, wedding ring! And the smile on Bob’s face tells the rest of the story.

If you or someone you know has lost a ring in the snow, grass, leaves, sand, underwater, or elsewhere, chances are it’s still there. Don’t let its story end. Call today! We’d love to add your smile to our growing list of happy clients.

iPhone Cell Phone Lost In The Windham Maine Snow, Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

Thursday morning, December 4th, I received a phone call from Kandy. Kandy’s friend, Corey, had lost his cell phone, a few days earlier, while shoveling his driveway, during a snow storm. Corey wasn’t able to call me, because, well, he lost his phone. Kandy told me that Corey searched the areas that he had shoveled, along the driveway and up to the shed, on his Town of Windham, Maine property. Kandy and others had also searched the snow and snow banks, for Corey’s phone, without finding it. Kandy asked if I could search for the phone, with my metal detector. I told her I could absolutely search for it , but it would be in an hour or so, as Cheryl and I were in Biddeford, Maine, running errands. I told Kandy that as soon as I returned home, I would grab my metal detecting equipment and head to Windham, Maine. It was now just after 10:00am and I figured I could get to Corey’s house around 11:30am and 12:00pm. Candy said that would be great and if I needed anything, she only lived approximately 10 minutes away.
After dropping Cheryl off at home and loading my equipment up, I left for the Windham Maine Highland Lake area, arriving at 11:45am. I immediately took a photo, of the driveway and sent it to Kandy. I want to make sure I had the right property and not someone else’s. Kandy replied immediately and confirmed I had the correct property. The search area was not very large, at all. I was estimating 15-20 minutes to search the shoveled areas. I would start at the left front of the driveway, as you faced the house. I would search straight up the driveway and walkway, then turn and come down the right side of the driveway. As I started, I could see quite a few potential obstacles, in the way of large pieces of metal. While searching, large metal will mask the item, I am looking for. My metal detector cannot get within a foot or two of vehicle, lawn furniture, even houses, with aluminum siding. If the item I am looking for, is next to one of these sources of interference, I may not be able to find the item. As soon as I started, I saw a cyclone fence, lawn furniture and other metal objects. If I was unable to locate the phone, because of this metal, I would need to go back and use my pinpointer, sticking into the snow and hoping it picks up the phone. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
As I made my way along the cyclone fence, it really wasn’t interfering at all, except in the area, of the support posts, for the fence. So far, so good but still no phone. Next up was the path, to the shed and there was no interference and also no phone. I then made my way back down the path, along the house, with interference, but still no phone. I only had a 25-30 foot section of snow to search, from the corner of the house, to the mailbox. Approximately 1/2 way between the corner of the house and the mailbox, I received a very loud high tone, reading 96, on my VDI screen. I couldn’t see anything, so I continued swinging the coil, removing a little snow, from the area, with each swing. All of a sudden, I saw the side outline of something black, just like a phone. I removed a little more snow and verified that it was Corey’s phone. My first thought was, YES, I wan’t have to go back along the metal interference it’s and search manually, with the pinpointer. I then took a photo, of the phone, all covered in snow and sent it to Kandy. The entire search, from the timestamp on the photo I took and sent to Kandy, at the start of the search, to the photo I just took of the phone was just 18 minutes. Not to bad. I then called Kandy and she was so happy that Corey would be getting his phone back. Kandy arrived about 10-15 minutes and thank me again for coming out so quickly and expressed amazement that the phone was found and so fast. She told me that where I found the phone wasn’t searched throughly because Corey really thought it wasn’t lost in that area and most of the search effort was along the other areas. As you all know, if you aren’t sure where something was lost, it could be anywhere. Kandy then took a few photos of me holding the phone, as she preferred not be be all over social media. As I was leaving, Kandy was still all smiles, thanking me and was heading, into the house, to leave Corey’s phone inside. Later that afternoon, Kandy sent me a message

“Thank you again! Really appreciate you coming so quickly. Corey is very grateful that you found his phone.”

So, more smiles and another phone back up to the ear. I have the best job, in the world.😀❤️🙏

Ring Found In Snow, Holland, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:
Simon contacted me stating he lost his ring that he had only received a few days ago.  He was unloading a Xmas tree from the car in the driveway when he felt his ring fly off and heard it hit the fender of the car.  They searched everywhere and could not find it.
I arrived and Simon showed me the area by the big tree in the yard where they had cleaned the snow off searching for the ring.  In a few minutes I got the signal I was looking for on the other side of the tree and next to the driveway.  I gave Simon the pinpointer and let him do the honor of digging it out of about 6 inches of snow.  A big sigh of relief when he found it!
