Lost Earring Found in Calgary

  • from Calgary (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

May 12. 2020 –  Got a call tonight. Young lady playing volleyball in the back yard. While ducking under the net she caught her earring in the net and the diamond stud was gone!!  Since they had a good idea of where it was, I put my sniper on and scanned the earring that she still had. Off I went to work. It is amazing how much grass gets compacted when people crawl on their hands and knees looking for a lost item. I certainly wasn’t under the net.  I asked her to recreate what happened. When she did, it was evident that the stud may have been sling shotted a distance away. Started a search in the new area and sure enough, there it was. About 6 feet from the net. I pointed it out and she pounced. Big smile!!

A Broken Heart Over a Lost Heart.

May 6– Mimi called me up and asked if I could find her lost pendant. She had taken off her jewelry and added her ring to the necklace. Later, while walking her dog, she took the jewelry out of her backpack and when she removed her ring, the tiny heart pendant that her mom gave her before she passed away fell into the grass. After searching and giving up she called me. When I arrived she took me to the spot just
 on the side of the pathway where she thought it might be.  Ten minutes later, she had it in hand and tears flowed.

Rings Can Fly

May 1 – I received a call from a gentleman living out Okotoks way. His wedding band had gone missing. Turns out that that meant he had in an off moment, taken his ring off and thrown it off the balcony the previous weekend. After having unsuccessfully searched for it in the area where it landed he called me in. He was right about where it landed. It wasn’t hard to find with the detector but it was laying totally flat with a stone in the middle. A quick search and a grateful owner.

Lost engagement ring, Casselberry, Florida….Found and Returned!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Michael, a newlywed of two months, emailed me asking about theringfinders service and if I would be available anytime soon to help look for his wife’s lost diamond engagement ring! I assured Michael that if he was confident about the area where she lost it then there would be a very good chance of finding it. Often people think they’ve lost something in more than one location and that usually means allot more work trying to locate the missing item. And thankfully in this case there were only two locations that they felt very confident about.

Gaby, Michael’s dear wife, had put her ring in her pants pocket along with her ear bud cord and she remembered pulling the cord from her pocket a couple of times while they were out taking some photos around a small pond in their neighborhood. And as with many ponds and water ways here in Florida come the usual wildlife that make themselves at home. And in this case there are allot of ducks…and Gaby was sure one of them had picked it up and possibly ate it!

I met Michael and Gaby the next morning bright and early and followed them to the first location where Gaby had posed for some photos. And after a 20 minute search of all the possible areas that she had walked the previous day…NO RING! So we walked along the sidewalk to the other side of the lake where more photos were taken. They again explained where Michael stood with the camera and the two places where Gaby had posed. So I set out a few marker flags and again got to work grid searching the final area. All along while searching I would get various sounding signals and when looking for a lost ladies wedding ring it is best to double check all the small foil like signals to be sure it is not the ring. Plus when looking for a recent drop it is almost sure to be just down in the grass and not buried in the dirt. And sure enough just as I was finishing up the final corner of the search area I got a loud signal reading of “44” on my Garrett ATMax metal detector and showing it was down two inches. I checked the target with my Garrett pin pointer and there hiding under the grass was Gaby’s lost engagement ring! So I laid the pin pointer on the ground with the ring laying just off the end and motioned to Michael and Gaby to come over and look at what I had just found. As she picked up her precious ring I said a heart felt thank you to God for allowing me to find her lost treasure.

Maybe you’ve lost something recently and would like some help. Call, text or email me ASAP and I will do my very best to help you recover your lost item.

Lost Gold Ring Found In Yard In Schwartz Creek Michigan

A Mother’s Day Surprise!

With a 50 yr. wedding anniversary closing in and today being Mother’s day the pictured gentleman has often wondered where his wedding ring was lost 3 years ago. Over the years many thoughts crossed his mind, was it lost on vacation?, in the yard?, in the car that’s now sold?, a public place?, ect.
Researching metal detectors left him uncertain as to how to operate the machine, leading to more frustration. Reaching out for help I talked with him Saturday and we decided to meet today to search the yard for starters. We picked several areas to search based on his recollection of the routine during the time of year he remembered the ring vanishing, which was late summer/early autumn mowing grass and dumping leaves, ect.
Knowing the type, size and karat of the ring, I knew from past searches the number that I was looking for was approx. +14/+16 on my MXT. I also knew that it would not be a surface find laying flat but rather could be vertically oriented and 2″-3″ or more under the surface. Gridding very carefully and checking for signals in that meter number range we worked our way back into a part of the yard where grass/leaves were dumped then roto-tilled for a garden. So after 3 yrs. if the ring was here, it could be deep. But no luck. Thinking we had ran out of luck, He went into the house to get some warm drinks. I decided to grid search back in the other direction from where we came, the 6 sq. ft. area which I hadn’t searched I got a very narrow but solid signal and a +16 on the meter, 2″ depth, sweeping 90 deg. I got a bit wider signal with same depth. Cutting a plug around the signal I heard my steel digger meet another metal object! Prying gently upward out popped this very stunning white 14k gold ring with an awesome custom engraving that was oriented 45 deg. just under the grass root base! While I was waiting for him I took a few pics and when he arrived I pointed down and asked him if that metal object looked familiar. He leaned over, and reaching down pulled the shiny ring from the dirt, holding it up and smiling I said who is this happy man? Your not the person who I met at the door! Taking a few more pics and chatting, he was anticipating the wife returning home to present this surprise, and share the story of the recovery with her and family for years to come!

Lost Ring Found in Burlington VT

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)

5/9/20
I got an email yesterday from a woman who lost a ring a week ago. She and her boyfriend looked for it all week with no luck, and were about to go buy a detector to find it. The ring hadn’t come from an expensive jewelry store, but was special to her because her boyfriend had made it for her, and it is a very cool ring!

I went over and she showed me the search area. It included the backyard where they had planted clover over a large area and flower bulbs along a fence. She had also possibly lost it on a 100 yard sidewalk.

I started where the bulbs were, got lots of nail and scrap signals. This property had been lived and worked on for probably the last 200 years! Then we went down the sidewalk with no luck. Lastly, I figured the best thing to do was a grid search of the back lawn where they had just tilled and planted clover. Lots of signals!! On the third pass, I got a signal with numbers all over the scale, but dug it anyway. There it was! I got cheers from her and her boyfriend who were with me and cheers came out if the house windows, too! I didn’t realize there was such a big audience!

Lost Wedding Ring Lost While Doing Yard-Work in Haddon Township NJ During the Coronavirus Outbreak (COVID-19)

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)

I received an email early in the morning from Mischa. He reports that he lost his wedding ring the day before while adding new mulch to his flower beds. We made arrangements for me to search after work.

I met Mischa and asked him several questions. He showed me the search area. All of the flower beds are up against a chain-link fence. I started to search with the smallest coil I have.

I searched all of the beds with no luck. I moved to another detector to search his travel paths to see if it fell off out of the beds. No luck. Mischa was thanking me for looking. I told him I wasn’t done yet.

I went back to the beds, on my hands & knees, pulled all of the mulch away from the fence and searched with my pin-pointer. Next to the last bed, I found it. The chain-link fence was too big for my metal detector to find the smaller ring. He was so happy. We maintained social distancing, no hand shakes or bro hugs. The search took a little over an hour.

I love my hobby!!

Lost Wedding Ring in West Chester PA Found By Dave Milsted During Coronavirus Outbreak (COVID-19)

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

 

April 25th, 2020 was going to be the most beautiful day of the week. So I had made arrangements to meet Mark at his parent’s house. This is where his wife lost her wedding ring a week ago playing field hockey in the backyard.

The area was beautiful, foggy, and a nice wet lawn, easier to track where I have been detecting, so I don’t miss anywhere. Mark wasn’t there yet, so I met his dad, Dennis. We did the whole social distancing thing.

He showed me a vast backyard, where they played field hockey last weekend. I asked if they were in any particular area, and he pointed to more then half of the yard. Oh boy, this could take a while. I went back to my SUV and got my detector.

I just started to search, and I heard someone say hello, I had headphones on, so I began to look around. It was Mark. I asked him a few questions. He was able to narrow the search area down a little. I was going to start my search at the swing set.

I started to search, and I got a good signal. I couldn’t see anything because the grass was so thick. I used my pin-pointer and spread open the grass, and there was a beautiful white gold wedding ring with several small diamonds. Less than 2 minutes of searching, it was in my hand. I needed that. I took a few pictures.

Mark was up on the deck. I started walking towards him and asked is there any area that his wife was in the most. I said that I didn’t want to be here all day. I said I had another question that might help. Does her ring look like this? And I opened my hand. The look on his face was priceless. No hugs or handshakes. Just smiles.

I asked for his wife’s cell number and sent her a few pictures. Within 30 seconds she called Mark in total disbelief. She worried all night that I wasn’t going to find it. I had told Mark when he contacted me earlier in the week that if it were in the yard, I would find it. He believed me until his wife changed his mind overnight. I love my hobby!!

Joy,happiness and a returned diamond engagement ring during Covid chaos in Media, PA

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Kelsey found me in the online directory and contacted me to see if I could help her locate her beautiful white gold and diamond engagement ring. Her and her fiancee, Sasha’s, wedding plans are on hold due to this Covid chaos but they are so happy and looking forward to their future together. Understandably, Kelsey was quite upset about her lost ring. She had been beating a dirty mat over the edge of a 2nd story deck of her home when she felt her ring slip off and fall into a large flower bed underneath the deck. She spent several hours digging through the leaves and dirt before contacting me. When I arrived she walked through exactly what  happened by re-enacting the incident. The area where lost was a small area but overgrown with healthy rhododendron bushes and lots of leaves. As I always do…I demonstrated how my equipment works to both of them so they could have confidence in my competence and provide some optimism. I spent about 10-15 minutes working the area right below where she was standing on the deck as they stood behind me(social distance!) watching. After a few false signals due to trash and nails I got a good “gold” signal on my machine….my pinpointer zeroed right in on the lost ring. I live for the rush of watching the overwhelming joy and relief on the face of the people I am able to return rings to. Kelsey was no exception…I was so happy to reunite her with her ring and bring joy to her in this time of stress, anxiety and uncertainty.

Newly-wed lost ring in De Luz (Recovered!)

  • from Arkansas City (Kansas, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from Andrew who had lost his wedding ring a week ago. He was weed whacking on the side of a hill and slipped on the steep slope. After awhile he realized his new ring was missing! He came back another day and brought his fathers metal detector. After searching for an hour with no luck, he eventually found the ringfinders and gave me a call. The area it could have been lost was about 100 yards and the slope was much steeper than expected. To make it more difficult, the ring was made of steel which has a very similar tone as iron. After searching for only 10 minutes digging a couple of nails and iron junk, out popped Andrews very nice wedding ring. I told Andrew to open his hand and dropped the ring into his palm. “No way you found it!!!” Thrilled to be a part of another successful ring return. Best wishes to Andrew and his new bride!
