Lost iPhone West Orange…. Found

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

I saw a post in my local community group about a young girl that had lost her iPhone while sledding.  I responded to the post that I would be happy to help find the phone and left my ringfinder.com link.  I was excited when I received a call from Anusha, the girl’s mom, requesting my help.  She said they had used the find my phone feature to locate the phone within about a 10-foot radius and offered for me to follow them to the location as there were several sledding hills on the road.  I followed them to the site and they showed me approximately where the phone was pinpointed with the find my phone feature.  I spent about 90 minutes working my way down the hill when I found the phone completely covered by snow!  I was happy to reunite iPhone and owner!

Lost Ring Hackettstown NJ… Found

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

Got a call from a young man about a ring that had been lost in the snow while filming a music video.  He had already bought a metal detector from Wal-mart and tried to locate the ring with no sucess.  He told me was there was footage of the ring on his finger and footage of the ring off his finger, so I had an excellent idea of the location of the ring and knew I could help out.  When I got there, he  showed me right to the area and within ten minuntes I was able to locate the ring under the snow and return it!  I love the happy endings when I can return rings to their owners!

Lost wedding ring in the grass, Kissimmee/Davenport, Fl…Found and Returned to Owner!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)

Mike McInroe…Ring Finder and Metal Detector Specialist…Call Anytime, ASAP…321-363-6029

Quentin was finishing up a job in a new housing development and the small basketball court was in need of some extra sod around the four light poles. One of his workers showed up with a few squares of sod and being as it was Friday, Quentin was anxious to get the sod laid and the job wrapped up. Unfortunately he did not have a shovel or machete to cut the sod into proper pieces so he used his hammer in a desperate attempt to make the pieces fit. There were places where the dirt needed to be leveled out and he used his hands to move the dirt around and as he was finishing up on the fourth pole he looked at his hand and realized that his wedding ring was missing. Quentin has only been married for one year and to think that he had already lost his precious wedding ring made him feel quite uneasy.

He was 99% sure he lost it while working with the sod and he began to search thru the thick grass, thinking surely he would be able to spot it. After walking over the whole area a couple of times he began to think that maybe he ought to consider renting or buying a cheap metal detector. So he typed “Metal detector rental” into his phone and found something even better! Theringfinders.com!!

(I always take photos and write a short story about each and every successful search and I use a good title and tags that will help people find our amazing and very helpful service. Read more of my stories and reviews on www.theringfinders.com web site and see first hand how we can help those in need of our unique services.)

I met Quentin on site and carefully grid searched the whole area thinking surely I would find his lost wedding ring hiding in the grass. But not so quickly! I soon realized that with my Garrett, ATMax metal detector I could only get so close to the large metal light pole bases and that I would need to detect closer so I opted to use my trusty Garrett pin pointer. And sure enough on the fourth and final pole my pin pointer gave a great response to a hidden metallic item tucked into a small corner…and lo and behold…there hidden just under the grass was Quentin’s lost wedding ring! Quentin was stunned and thrilled all in one and the relief was obvious on his face. It wasn’t the Friday Quentin originally thought it would be but he was super glad for the way it turned out in the end.

Lost something and need help finding it? Call, text or email…ASAP!

Mike McInroe…ready to look anywhere and very thankful to be a part of theringfinders.com

Missing Ring & Earring! Parkland County, Alberta, Canada.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)

The Culprit

Question is: Did Laser eat my Earring and Ring?

 

Jesse called me on Thursday requesting my service to locate a missing ring and earring.  Jesse said the ring went missing about one month ago, and the earring went missing two weeks ago from his bedroom dresser table.  The only possible culprit was his six month old dog Laser!

After asking Jesse several questions like; how was Laser feeling, did he have any signs of discomfort, and was he his normal self Jesse replied that he was fine so my next question was; is Laser a free roamer on the acreage?  Jesse replied no, that he is always let out into his dog run which is huge,  about 80’ x 80’ and that his daily deposits were still frozen on the ground.  I thought to myself, “hmmm interesting”, wonder which pile the ring could be in and also the earring!

I agreed to meet up with him Saturday morning.  When I arrived at the acreage I met Jesse and Andria.  They showed me the dog run where I met Laser. Andria told me about Laser, how he is obsessive with his toys and rocks, and eats anything that a six month old dog would do. When wearing her rings he would lick her hands.  Andria was positive that he ate the ring and also her earring, as two weeks ago she had found her jewellery box on the floor in her bedroom and one of her earrings was missing.

After searching about one hour the ring was found in a nice pile in the corner of the yard.  My next question was where is the earring?  I told Jesse that I needed the other earring so that I could tune my detector to it.

I carefully searched for the earring where the ring was found but had no luck. I decided to search the other corner of the yard and knowing how hard earrings are to find I began very slowly and low scan search each inch and finally I heard a faint tone! I called Jesse over and told him “there IT IS”!   He looked but could not see because the earring was inside this pile! LOL, and again I said “this is it”!  He could not believe his eyes when we took the pile in to be washed out and there was Andria’s beautiful diamond earring!

Jesse and Andria was over the moon that her ring and earring was back where they belonged!

Another very happy client!  Thank you, Jesse and Andria, for entrusting me to find your missing jewellery in a very unusual location. Yes, Laser was definitely the culprit!

Lost Wedding Band in Burnaby BC…Found

Chris Turner- Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP  Anytime   778-838-3463

I received a call for help yesterday while I was at work, the young man told me he lost his wedding band at a frisbee golf course in Burnaby. He went on to tell me that the ring came off when he threw his frisbee down to the ground. It was getting dark and he searched for 45 minutes with no success. The next day he went back and search for over an hour with his fingers going through the grass and mud in hopes that he could pull out the ring.

They found TheRingFinders through a friend from his frisbee group who told him about my service. We met up this morning and he showed me the area where he had lost the ring and even marked it with a stick which is an excellent idea to get me into the area where I could possibly find the ring. After maybe 10 minutes and very close to where he believed the ring had come off his finger… I found his ring just inches into the mud, he must’ve stepped on it while he was looking for it and buried it into the mud and grass. I was able to surprise them both with the ring after maybe 10 minutes of searching.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have the best job in the world and I love doing this more than anything I’ve done in my lifetime. I get to make people smile, I get to hear their stories of what the ring means to them and how happy they are when I’m lucky enough to find it.

 

Watch the Video of the search below…

LOST IPHONE ON HONEYMOON ISLAND…FOUND AND RETURNED!!!

STEVE THOMAS    DUNEDIN RING FINDER

LOST A RING OR OTHER METAL VALUABLE?
CALL ME ASAP ANYTIME. (843)995-4719    THIS IS A FREE SERVICE, REWARD OPTIONAL BUT APPRECIATED

 

A few days ago I was detecting on Honeymoon Island. I found the usual handful of coins and scrap metal but as I was leaving the beach, I found an iPhone buried under about 2 inches of wet sand. I quickly removed the phone as the tide was about to cover it again and took my recovery photo in dry sand. I could not determine at that time if the phone was operational but it looked new. I stopped by the state park office on the way out to see if anyone had reported the missing phone to the park service but the office was closed. I returned home and cleaned the phone as best I could and attempted to charge it. The phone soon displayed a message which indicated it was lost and provided a phone number to call. Unfortunately, the number provided was the number to that phone but at least I heard a voice message which provided the first name of the owner. After about 30 minutes of online research with the assistance of my wife, we were able to email and Facebook message the owner who lived in our area. There was no immediate response but we also located a  friend of the owner in our research, contacted her, and she in turn contacted the owner’s fiancée. It wasn’t long before we received a call from the grateful owner. She said that she had lost the phone the day before. As it was fairly late in the evening by the time we made contact, we made the exchange through the local sheriff’s department.

Carolyn, I hope your phone is fully operational and I am glad I could return it to you so quickly after you lost it!

Diamond engagement ring lost in snow, recovered and returned in Bensalem, PA!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Received an email from Catie on December 17, 2020 looking for help finding a lost diamond engagement ring. I gave her a call and she shared the details of what happened. Here in the Philadelphia area we had a significant snow storm Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Catie was clearing snow off her car in the parking lot of her apartment in Bensalem, PA when she suddenly noticed her relatively new engagement ring was no longer on her finger. She was quite certain it was on her finger prior to her starting to clear the snow off the car. In somewhat of a panic she dug around in the 10 inches of snow with no luck. Prior to calling me she had actually borrowed a metal detector but told me it was of no use and she didn’t know how to work it. After speaking to her I told her I would be there the next day at lunch time….I stressed to her not to touch, move or shovel anymore snow and to make sure no one shovel the snow around the area.

I met Catie at her car at around 130 pm and we re-enacted her movements that led to the lost ring. Based on her description of her movements I guessed it couldn’t be far from her car and most likely in the snow behind the car. I learned over the years to prioritize search areas…start a quick search in the most likely area it fell…even if that area is sort of in the middle of the entire search area. I made a first pass along and behind the tail gate of her car with no luck…the snow was deep! I turned and began making a 2nd pass a little more distant to the rear of the car and BOOM! A surface 8-9 tone on my Equinox 800 detector! Those of you who are detectorists know…if you get a solid surface signal in 10 inches of snow…its going to be a winner. The signal was so clear and obvious I wasn’t surprised when i bent down and wiped away a few inches of snow to reveal a beautiful diamond ring. Total search time – 2 minutes?!

Catie happened to be standing 10-15 feet away….watching with hopeful yet anxious eyes. When I got the signal…even before bending over….I gave her a wink(like babe Ruth calling the homer!). After bending over and picking up her ring I think she was in a bit of shock when she saw it in my hand. Then tears of joy of course! To this day I find the best part of being a Ringfinder is the visceral joy and relief on faces of people when I hold up their lost ring. What can I say…its a rush!

Catie is scheduled to get married September of this year…I certainly wish her the best!

Lost ring in Zion National Park: Found

Contact:

Jeff and his wife came from Texas to Utah to hike one of the most spectacular trails in the world, Angels Landing in Zion National Park. The narrow trail drops hundreds of feet on both sides. It leads to the top of the Landing, with 1500-foot cliffs dropping on three sides. It was on that trail that Jeff felt his sterling silver class ring slip off his finger and disappear into the shallow snow. They couldn’t find it. He was confident that if he had a metal detector, he could recover the ring. Although I have done searches in that area before, and I was willing to make the 4-hour drive each way, Jeff wanted to try first on his own. He came to my home to borrow one of my metal detectors. I showed him some of the simple operational features. He drove back to Zions, and found the ring!

Gold Wedding Band Lost While Sledding in Bethlehem, Pa. FOUND

  • from Reading (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by Joe the day after our first snow storm in Pennsylvania. He told me realized his ring had come off while sledding with his wife and daughter in a public park. We made arrangements to meet on Saturday morning and he showed me the areas they walked and played in the snow. After only about five minutes of searching with my Garrett ATPro, I found the ring. Joe was delighted I found his ring and excited to tell his wife. We continued to talk about TheRingFinders longer then it took me to find his ring. It was also a blessing we found it so fast as it was only 15 degrees outside.

I encourage anyone who looses a piece of jewelry to contact me immediately and not spend the money renting or buying a cheap metal detector.

Lost Keys in a Snowstorm, A Bad Tuesday in Gladwyne PA. Keys Found by Dave Milsted

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Koree was having a very bad day this past Tuesday. Eastern Pennsylvania was in the middle of a Nor’easter snow event. He also got into a fender bender and needed his vehicle towed. As he was waiting for the tow, he lost his only key for his car in 6+ inches of snow. While he waited the 3 hours for the tow service, it continued to snow at 1-2 inches per hour. Koree searched with no luck and gave up for the night. He came back to the parking lot the next day without finding his keys. That’s when he turned to the internet and found me. We made arrangements for me to search after work.
We met at the lot at 5 pm, it was already dark out, but the fresh snow cover provided enough light to search. I was afraid that the lot was paved and would have rebar, but it turned out to be a gravel lot. Koree showed me the area he thought he lost his keys.
I started detecting, getting signals frequently. This lot is along the Schuylkill River and an exercise trail. Obviously, a party area by the amount of beer bottle caps I was uncovering. There were also a lot of coins. Koree got excited at every signal I searched. He told me the dealer said it would cost $700 to replace his key and fob.
After 45 minutes of searching, I finally uncovered his key. He was so happy. His day just got a lot better. Due to COVID restrictions, no handshakes, fist bumps, or hugs were exchanged. Koree said he would spread the word about the Ring Finders!
I love my hobby!
