Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Fort Washington, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from Mike from the Fort Washington/Oreland, PA on a Saturday night. Earlier in the day he was getting a headstart on  a pool installation project in his backyard. After a few hours of digging a trench for the water lines he looked down and noticed his 10-year old gold wedding band was no longer on his finger! He searched for a bit but soon realized it was hopeless without the help of a metal detector…after a quick search of internet he found me in the Ring Finders Directory. I came the next day (before the Eagles Super Bowl victory!!!) and met him in his backyard. I brought 2 detectors with me….one with a small search coil to search under shrubs and one with a larger coil to cover a larger search area. After talking to Mike and him pointing out where he thinks the ring most likely fell off (in and around the muddy trench) I set to work around the muddy trench with my 6 inch coil. I had my machine set to just search out just gold ring signals…5 minutes into the search I received a beautiful signal in my headphones…honestly from doing this for so many years…without even looking I was a 100% sure this was his ring. I called Mike over and let him hear the signal and told him there it was…my machine was showing it 2-3 inches beneath the surface of the mud. I bent down and dug a little with my pinpointer and I think Mike and I both saw it at the same time ..there it was!!! Mike was surprised I found it…he thought it was a goner for sure! It’s always thrilling to be successful in a recovery operation and I was very happy I could come through for Mike!

GOLD AND SILVER COIN COLLECTION LOST IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED.

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

Terry called me last week and told me that her family had lost their house in the Palisades fire. Her mother had a very expensive gold and silver coin collection and desperately wanted to know if there was a chance I could find it for them. I met them two days later in Santa Monica and followed them to their property in the Palisades. They guessed  at the area that the coins should have been but the mom felt like she had moved them to another location sometime ago. I started to remove some debris and began finding some of the silver coins, I sifted more carefully and began finding more and  silver coins,  Some of the coins of silver half dollars were fused together. I finally started to find the gold coins which included a 1874  20 dollar gold piece and a 1899  20 dollar gold piece. There were over 10 gold  coins and over 150 silver coins recovered  so it turned out that the collection was never moved to the second location. When Terry called her mother with the good news they were both very happy and relieved. It was a successful search  for me with a positive out come for the family.

Lost ring at the park…Found

  • from Johnson City (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I had a couple of hours of free time and decided to go metal detecting at a local park. I hit on a target and decided to dig it. Turns out it was a class ring. I love finding these things because I can almost always get them back to the owner. I reached out to the school alumni page and after a quick search they were able to provide me with his last name. After a quick search on Face Book I was able to track him down. He had lived in this area 15+ years ago and now serves in the Army. After making contact with him he was elated that the ring was found. I’m mailing this ring back to him and so glad to bring some joy to a fellow Soldier.

Gold Wedding Ring Lost While Snow Blowing, in Gorham, Maine, Found With A Metal Detector

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

As I was watching The Super Bowl, on Sunday night, I received the following Facebook PM, at 9:00pm, from Ryan.

“I Lost my ring, in the snow”.

I replied,
“Hi Ryan, So sorry to hear this. When did you lose it, how and where”?

Ryan replied,
“I was using my neighbors snow blower brought it up to his house in front of his garage and used my hand to clean out the snow from the inside. Then shoveled it to the side as it was in front of his garage door . I looked down at my finger and it was gone”.

Ryan and I continued our conversation and he was 99% sure, his wedding ring would be in his neighbors driveway, underneath the hard packed snow or in the snowbank, along the driveway. With 11 inches of freshly fallen snow and another 6 inches forecasted to fall in a few days, I wanted to get to Ryan’s, asap. The longer, we waited, the better the chance the ring could be moved by the snowblower or the plow, making the ring, that much more difficult to locate. Ryan said he lived near University of Southern Maine, in Gorham, Maine, approximately 20 miles, from my home in Saco, Maine. Ryan asked if I could come out, the next day, Monday, at 3:45pm, when he would be home. I agreed to meet him and now I just needed to charge my equipment up.
I arrived at 3:45pm and Ryan immediately took me to his neighbors driveway and showed me the area he had cleaned the snow out of the snowblower and the area he had shoveled the excess snow , on the the snow bank. The driveway was very hard packed snow. I took out a 14K test ring and buried it in the snow bank . I then started my detector up and showed Ryan what the ring sounded like, on the detector and the VDI reading, on the detector’s screen. The ring let out a nice loud low tone that was crystal clear.
I decided to grid the fairly small area, starting in front of the garage doors and working my way towards the snowbanks, on the side of the driveway. My 1st pass resulted in a few targets but they were under the ice and asphalt. I turned around and headed back towards my original starting point and again, a few targets, but no ring. I turned and started back towards the snowbanks and about 3/4 of the way there, I received a very loud low signal, in the 42-43 range. It sounded great but I thought the VDI reading was a little high, for a gold ring. I took out my pinpointer and located the target, in the hard packed snow of the asphalt driveway. I then started scraping the hard packed snow away, with my pinpointer and all of a sudden, I saw a Gold Ring. I immediately said “There it is” and Ryan said “Thats amazing “. I picked up the ring and handed it to Ryan, who shouted over to his wife, in their driveway, “He found it“ and held the ring up, so she could see it. I could see her smile and another smile broke out, on my face. The entire search only took approximately 7-8 minutes and the ring was exactly in the area, Ryan thought it would be.
I am just so fortunate to be able to help people like Ryan out, in their time of need. There is just no better feeling than to be able to put a ring, back on someone’s finger and a smile on their face. ❤️🙏

Gold Ring lost in Hayward, CA…Recovered!!!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)
Contact:

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

Our first ring recovery of 2025 came while I was providing First Aid support for a Cub Scout knife safety/whittling class for our Pack.  I had received a call for assistance in Hayward, CA to locate a yellow gold chain ring lost in tall grass along a trail.  I informed them that I was committed for another two hours but would head their direction shortly thereafter.  I had them text me an address and informed them I would let them know when I was on my way and again when I was 10 minutes out.

My two older boys would accompany me to provide assistance and loaded their detector as we made for the location.  It took just under an hour to reach the site and a short 3 minute walk put us in the target area.  I provided some orange soccer cones for them to define the search area as I prepared our detectors. I was excited when my oldest boy got a promising hit on his Vanquish 540.  Upon further inspection it was found to be spectacle frames for a pair of glasses.  Moments later, I got a great signal on the 800 (12-14) and when pinpointed…we had made the recovery!!!

It was a beautiful day and I had almost wished it took a bit longer to locate while spending time with the boys among the tall Kelly green grass of the East Bay hills.

Lost ring while in backyard…Found

  • from Johnson City (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I received a text from a gentlemen asking if I could find a ring in their backyard. They weren’t positive it was there but think it flew off while playing with the family in the yard. I went out and searched the yard twice with no luck. The husband at one point told me the dog was trying to jump over the fence and his wife grabbed the dog mid-air as it was going over. We decided togo into the neighbors yard and check. Sure enough as she was wrestling with the dog the ring flew off on the other side of the fence. So glad to get this one back to the owners.

2nd time was the charm! Gold ring lost in the snow – found in Indiana, PA by metal detecting specialist Brian Carpenter

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I was contacted by Justin who lost his ring while walking his dog in the cold and snow. Justin lived locally but we were having a tough time getting together. Because it was an apartment complex I wanted to get over there and search as soon as possible to try and make sure I/we were the ones who found it. I got held up and by the time I was able to get to Justin’s place he had returned to work so I talked with his girlfriend who pointed to two general locations where he walks the dog. I searched both places a small patch of grass on the corner and a larger patch on the backside of the complex. I looked for a long time with no luck and decided to give up as it was cold and snowy. I told Justin I did not have any luck but I would come back over since it was so close.

It took a week and a half or so before Justin and I could meet back up. Actually I was on my way to his place when he got called back into work. Luckily I was able to get there before he had to go. Justin took me back and showed me a more specific area to search which was not part of my initial search. Prior to going over I had strapped on my small coil to look for the ring as the areas I had searched before were pretty small. However this time, the area Justin pointed out was a lot bigger. I was kicking myself for not bringing my larger coil but because I was so close and had been there before I did not pack it. The thought went through my mind that I should go back to the house for it but I decided to go for it with my small coil and come back out again with the large one if I needed to. It was about 15 – 20 mins of searching the field I located the ring laying on the top of the grass where the snow had melted.

Justin was at work so I sent him a text and he was very happy. We arranged a time for me to meet up with him after work and return the ring. It was a pleasure to meet and help out another kind and generous client. I was also reminded that it is always best to talk to the person who had the loss when possible (I might have found it my first time out) and to take all my equipment no matter how close.

As a side note – the young lady who I had looked for her ring in Plum, PA sent me a text that the ring had been recovered after all the snow melted. I also had another potential customer in West Mifflin, PA text me that he found his ring. Unfortunately I had not been able to make it out as quickly as we would have liked for the search. It is great that all of these rings have been recovered either by myself or the owners and I thank them for updating me. This mean that all the rings that I have been called about for 2025 have been recovered to date – awesome!

I got a call from Jan this past week, she told me she had lost her home in the Altadena fire, and I had helped her friend Mark find jewelry, and coins after he lost his  house, to the same fire. She told that she had lost all of her worldly possessions in the fire, but desperately, wanted to find her mother’s wedding ring. I went to meet her, and followed her to her one room home which she rented inside a house owned by a friend, I moved some debris out of the way, and found her mother’s engagement ring within an hour  Even though the diamond had fallen out , she was so happy to have it back, she was just as excited when I found a key, that belonged to a very old China cabinet that was stored at her daughters house. she was very happy when I was able to find a button from  her late brothers military uniform. I did recover other jewelry as well, Jen told me that she finally had some closer after the terrible fire.

Here is a short review by Abhi and what all transpired with his wife’s lost diamond earring! Abhi writes, “I am beyond thrilled that we met Mike! What a pleasure and blessing it was to work with him. My wife lost one of her treasured diamond earrings a few weeks ago going back and forth between our kids rooms at night as they were not feeling well. There was a lot of tossing and turning! She took her earrings out, placed them on the night stand and a few days later only found one of them there! After extensively and exhaustively searching our home, we decided we needed some professional help. Mike came to our house and was incredibly patient and thorough, asking amazingly detailed and thoughtful questions. He was looking EVERYWHERE! Even diligently taking tissues out of the trash bin, one by one, to make sure no stone was unturned! We ended up finding the lost diamond earring underneath a rocking chair cushion tucked all the way in the back corner which was only seen due to the large industrial flashlight he was carrying. He was amazingly sincere, patient and ultimately got the job done. Thank you Mike!”
