Playing with the dog in the snow.

 

It was an early December evening and my client was playing with her dog in the snow on a baseball field when she slipped and fell. When she was wiping herself off she noticed her ring was missing.  She searched with friends for her ring and was unable to locate it.  They looked up Ringfinders.com in the area and came across Paul Nolan and gave him a call and Paul agreed to swing out and help them in there search.  We could not meet on site so I sent them an overhead photo that I had put a labeled grid over the photo and sent it to them. They identified the locations where they where at the time of the loss.  I went out and gave the baseball field a good search where most of the footprints were in the snow and came up empty. That search has around 2 hours. I hate leaving without finding what I went out for, but it was getting cold and late. So over the next couple days I repeated searching and put in another 4 hours or so searching.  I was getting a lot of hits but down 2″ so I was ruling them out but still had to confirm it was not the ring in the snow.  It was taking a lot of time being a ball park with a lot of pull tabs and bottle tops.

I called them and thought we would have to try after the snow had gone in the spring.

On a April 18, 2019 I went into work early and was on my way home earlier then normal so I decided to take a swing by the ball field and give it another look. I could tell by the foot prints in the softer ballfield infield that people had been out and the tracks were in the same areas of the lost ring. I knew no one had found the ring with all the foot prints so I continued my quest.  I spent about an hour and a half in the outfield looking in the grass and also put a grid over the infield. I was feeling like I had covered every inch of the place a couple of times with my cross grid.  I was working my way back to my car and when I was in the first base line I got a quick hit.  I had looked down and about 75% covered in the dirt was a small gold ring. What a feeling.  That’s got to be it.  I made it back to my car and started going through my phone looking for the number of the client. I had photos from when I was first out on site. I gave them a call and talked to her husband  and he said she was on her way home from work. I told him who I was and asked if they had found the ring yet? He confirmed that they had not, but had been out looking for it.  I asked him to identify it again and he gave the description to a tee.  I told him that I had it and if he want to meet me at the park I would get it back to him for a nice spring surprise.  We met and he was elated to have it back. It was a ring that he had given to his wife when they went on their fist vacation together in the Dakotas.  It was not a real big ring, but it had a big place in her heart.  Knowing that you had just made someone’s day never gets old.

 

Attached is the ring after it was removed from the ground and cleaned up a bit.  

Zoomed in

 

So you can see why it was so had to spot.  Congratulations on your ring back. You now have a little more of a story to go with it.

Raleigh Ring Recovery – Lost For 10 Years – Found!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

My wife thinks this is my best recovery ever — it’s certainly the most romantic.

I was contacted by a man who had lost his platinum wedding ring almost immediately after his wedding — about 10 years ago. At the time, they were living in an apartment complex and although they extensively searched the apartment grassy area where he believed he had lost it, they were unable to recover it.

Although the ring had long since been replaced, their 10-year wedding anniversary was coming up, and he thought recovering the original ring in celebration of that milestone would be a nice surprise for his wife. He contacted the apartment management and was able to get permission for me to detect the area at the complex where they had been living 10 years ago, and it took me a little less than an hour to find it. Reuniting a ring and its owner is always a great feeling! Happy Anniversary!

How To Find A Lost Ring – Raleigh

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

It happens. People lose things all the time, but this recovery was special.

I was contacted by a woman who had lost her late husband’s wedding ring. If that sounds odd, it’s because she was wearing it. After her husband passed, she started wearing his ring and her own, with her ring on the outside as a “stop” to keep her husband’s larger ring from falling off.

On this particular day, she had decided to garden in her yard and for whatever reason, had reversed the rings on her finger (so the husband’s was on the outside). Without her smaller ring to anchor it, her husband’s ring came off and she was unable to find it. Given her sentimental attachment to the lost ring, finding it was imperative!

She showed me where she had been gardening, pruning, trimming, and other yard tasks, which turned out to cover a rectangular area about 75 ft x 10 ft. I was able to find the ring buried down in the dirt and return it — a happy ending is always a good way to end the day!

Lost 10 Years White Gold Ring Found In Farmington Hills Michigan

10 Years Age Progression

A huge amount of people worldwide go missing each year, but it’s always great when you read about a missing person being found, even tho you may or may not be the family members or friend of the missing person, today’s media coverage let’s you be right there with the details of whats going on, much more personal than before the internet.
Even tho an inanimate object like a ring is not a living person, when a piece of jewelry goes missing, the sentimental and emotional feelings a person has about that and the person whom it belonged to can take on the feelings of it being a living thing.
The story of this missing ring started ten yrs ago when the pictured lady’s husband was mowing grass and it came off. They searched off and on to no avail and her husband passed away a few yrs later. Late Nov. of 2018 I got in touch with her and went out to search only to find frozen ground. She wasn’t quite sure of the metal type either white gold or silver. She had an old picture of it when it was new (1st pic) and I thought ok well I will look for both metal ID’s and ignore everything else. It has 4 small diamonds on it and I thought it was white gold cos’ not too many people put diamonds in silver settings but there are some that do. I took some notes on signals I got and we decided to search again in the spring. Today I grid searched the area where she remembered him saying he was when the ring came off. I had to clear quite a bit of junk to get thru as I wasn’t sure how far down the ring may have settled over the years but I did have a number I was looking for on the MXT from past searches. The soil was black as coal and silty but the ground was damp and easy to dig. As I swept the coil I got a repeatable, sharp and short signal +12 with a reading about 3″ deep and decided to dig. As I was pinpointing, the signal kept saying I’m here plz find me! Moving dirt to the side of the hole I saw a silver object with nice contrast against the soil shining back at me happily that it was soon to be free from it’s entombment.
I waved for her to come to the back and I have never seen a person run so fast! She looked down into the hole and pulled the ring from the earth and looked at me and no words were needed as to how thrilled she was! So after 10yrs the rings rhodium coating got dulled a bit as can be seen in the pics, but other than that it was in great shape. As I was packing and cleaning my gear it was nice to listen to her call her friends and family members announcing that the spirit of this very sentimental ring and family member was reunited with it’s loving family…..back where it belonged!

Lost Gold Wedding Band McCauley Neighborhood Edmonton, Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

  

I received a call on Thursday from Mike requesting my assistance to help him find his wedding ring which he had lost a couple of weeks ago. When I asked Mike how he had lost his ring he replied that he picked up a runner off his dresser because it had some dirt on it. He had walked out of the front door to shake the runner and thought he had heard a ping noise but without realizing what it was, He returned back into the house. After a couple of days Mike realized his ring was missing from his dresser. He searched high and low for the ring in the house with no luck. He then recalled the ping nose that he had heard, and that it must have been his ring that hit the sidewalk and bounced on the lawn. Mike spent hours looking for the ring with no luck.
I stopped in on Mike this morning and he showed me the area where he thought the ring could be. I searched through dead leaves and pine needles and I told Mike that since the foliage was near the same colour as his ring it would be very hard to locate the ring with the naked eye. I searched the other side of his side walk and found his ring neatly covered in pine needles. Mike was very grateful that he had found me on the Internet.

Another happy client.

Thank you Mike and Maryann.

Ring Recovery – Metal Detector Rental – Raleigh

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Sometimes, even the most well-intentioned activities don’t turn out the way you think. A young mom had been playing in the yard with her young daughter and thought that tossing leaves in the air would be fun for both of them. It was, or at least it was until she realized later that her ring had come off during their playtime. She and her husband had searched the yard where they had been playing, but no ring. They had also rented a metal detector, but because of the electric lines, cable lines, water pipes, etc., buried in the yard, there was too much interference for them to locate the ring.

She contacted me to come out and it took about 45 min to locate the ring. As you can see, she’s a happy camper!

Lost Platinum & Diamond Engagement Ring at Pililaau Army Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:


This ring find began when I got a call from Reshell who lives in Kaimuki on Oahu. While enjoying some R & R at the Pililaau Army Recreation Center Beach her Engagement ring fell out of the beach chair’s puka storage and fell into the sand. Her Wedding Band had fallen too and she was able to spot it but the Engagement ring was gone. Being on the opposite side of the island from my home and rush hour traffic fast approaching Google maps said it was going to be 1 and a half hours to get there. Reshell was staying at the Center so I told her I would start making my way over. After a little over an hour I decided to call her to be watching for my car. Reshell’s went to voicemail. I tried several times with no luck. When I arrived I talked to the Military gate guard and they knew right where to find Reshell on the beach. It was at that time she noticed her phone was in silent mode and called me to apologize and to meet on the beach. We got to the beach area which was very small because of the shore break and thankfully the beach was sterile. After a quick hunt the ring wasn’t where the other ring had fallen as Reshell had the sense to mark that spot with a rock. I decided to start at the rock wall and work down to the wet sand. As I approached the rock wall I got a loud 6/7 tone on the Nox and one gentle scoop and there in the scoop was Reshell’s beautiful ring. Reshell thought maybe when she leaned the beach chair against the wall is when the engagement ring fell out. In any case the ring is back on her finger and she was tremendously relieved. Aloha to Reshell!

Lost Ring in Iowa again

  • from Waverly (Iowa, United States)
Contact:

Received a message from a guy that I helped last year. His Fiancée lost her ring again in the same yard as last time. It is only about 15 miles away so I went right down there. She was raking leaves and caught the rake tines on her ring and away it went. They tried to find it before looking me up. They showed me where they thought it was lost and sure enough within 5 minutes they had the ring back. This would  be my first repeat customer.
