Yesterday, Sabrina and her fiancé, Patrick, were traveling across the country so he could report for duty at Ft. Irwin. When they stopped along a lonely stretch of I-70 in central Utah to let their dog out, Sabrina felt her engagement ring slip off of her finger. They thoroughly searched through the snow where she was standing, but they couldn’t find it. Next, they drove the several miles into Salina, Utah, bought a metal detector, and went back for more fruitless searching. Patrick had to report the next day, so they didn’t have time to search further. Sabrina was heart-broken to lose her ring. She found TheRingFinders last night, gave me a call, and asked me to help. This morning I drove more than 2 hours through a snowstorm, but I was able to find her ring! I shipped it out this afternoon, and it will be back on her finger in a couple of days.

Thank you, Patrick, for your service in the Army!

Just 3 days before Christmas…

A Christmas miracle story about a man who was cleaning his roof and noticed that his wedding band was no longer on his finger an hour later… He had no idea where the ring could have come off but he assumed it came off his finger when he was throwing leaves and branches off his roof. After searching with no luck this man pretty much gave up ever thinking he would see his ring again.

Three months later and only three days before Christmas his daughter goes to rent a metal detector hoping she could find it and give it to her father  for a Christmas gift.

After researching on the Internet for metal detector Nicole stumbles across The Ring Finders website, that’s when she contacted me to find out if I could help her. I was excited for the challenge and met Nicole at her fathers home,  after 30 minutes of agonizing nail signals I eyeball the ring on the dirt almost covered by a leaf. I was very excited knowing that Nicole would be able to surprise her father for Christmas. I was very honored knowing he was married  for 56 years and that his ring was found to continue that amazing story of love!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Friday October 5th, I put on my wetsuit and drove a short distance out of Green Bay for a ring search.   It had been lost the previous weekend when Tim, the ring’s owner, had been pulling his dock out of the water for the winter.   He saw the ring plop into the water, and knew approximately where it was.  I have been to the site the previous Tuesday, but high waves drove me off before I could make any progress.  Since then, a storm had come, bringing in sand and waves that came to an all-time high-water mark of several decades.  I was worried that the ring might have shifted, though it was a man’s heavy gold wedding band, and they tend to go straight down until they reach equilibrium.   My diving buddy, Brian P., went with me because we knew the ring could have traveled.   We measure the distance to the probable drop site 100 feet off shore, marked it with a float, and started our search patterns.  The water was cold, but we persevered for three hours.   Finally, I decided to dig the deep signals because we had been looking fairly shallow, and found it 18 inches down with my new Minelab Equinox, near the float marker.   I couldn’t believe it had descended that deep, especially because it was nestled in stones, with only the top six inches being sand.  Tim was overjoyed to see the ring back on his finger, especially because his silver wedding anniversary was coming up soon!

2018 search results.

I was looking over all the records from this year’s searches. I did 22 searches for jewelry this year, a little bit quieter than usual. The good thing was that only 3 were unsuccessful. There were also a few searches where the client found their own jewelry in a different place than was searched, one found in a glove, another found in a clothes dryer and one found in the couch. The 3 unsuccessful searches, I will be going back in the Spring when the grass and weeds are low and the snow and ice is gone.

Thank you to all who used The Ring Finders, it was nice meeting you and the pets at Central Vt Humane Society and I thank you for the rewards.

Lisa was out doing yard work in their back yard when one of her prized diamond stud earrings went missing. She spent several hours out searching for her earring over the next few days. She even went to a local rent-all store to rent a metal detector to search for the earring. When they tried the mate earring prior to renting the machine they discovered that a rental machine would not even pick up such a small target. Lisa then contacted another person in an attempt to get a search for the earring, that person showed no interest in trying the search. She then called me, though I was away on vacation and out of cell service. When I finally received the voicemail I called Lisa back and we set up a date for me to come and see if my machines would even pick up the mate earring.

Upon my arrival Lisa lead me to the back yard and told me of what she was doing when the earring went missing. We then tried one of my machines that I had brought along for the search, there was no signal from the mate earring. I made a few adjustments and was then able to hear the earring so we at least stood a chance of finding the missing earring though it was a long shot. I began my search in the area that Lisa was sure the earring was lost in, no luck. I expanded my search area and after 45 minutes I had found the earring back diagonally across the yard from the original search area. The earring was found about a foot and a half away from the back. To say that I was surprised at finding the earring would be a understatement. Lisa was so excited to have her earring set compete again.

Brian called me and stated he lost his wedding ring while helping his mom cut back bushes and cleaning up leaves in her flower beds. While driving to church later in the day, he realized he did not have his ring on his hand. After returning to his moms house, they made a visual search of the yard as well as searching through approx. 10 large garbage bags of leaves and brush, but with no luck. After Brian’s call to me, I made arrangements to search the yard and after approx. 20 min. searching with my Garrett ATPro, I got a strong target signal of 61. As I moved the coil away, I saw the ring in the grass. Brian and his mom were watching from the house and ran outside when they saw my excitement.  Brian immediately took a photo of the ring on his finger and sent it to his wife.

I was so glad to make their day and return his ring before the holidays.
