Ring Found in Long Lake, Coldwater Michigan

Wedding ring returned

After an email request to find a lost wedding ring in 5 feet of water, I jumped into action. Traveling 2 hours from my home my brother and I went to Long Lake located in Reading, MI close to Coldwater. The lake had a muddy bottom with about a foot of mucky clay every step was an adventure. After searching around in neck deep water a hit was made and up came the scoop with the wedding band in it.
The owner, Chris P. of Dayton, Ohio, standing in the water with us, yelled up to the people on shore “they found it”.
A yellow gold band with six diamonds was handed to the owner and he said “I can tell my wife now that I lost my ring and found it, this is the second ring I never found the first one”.

Lost Ring – Barnstable, Cape Cod, MA found and returned by Cape Cod team

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

A mother’s 18K wedding band with 45 diamonds was found within five minutes of arriving at the hunt area and returned to the owner that afternoon. A pleasant 30 minute drive home was enhanced by a wonderful ice cream cone.

Jamie had been removing some flowers that were past their time to be sitting on the kitchen table. In doing so she tossed them along with her ring off the back porch, into the woods. Not being able to find the ring she reached out to two sisters Eleanor and Judy for help. The two detectorists did not find the ring on the first day. They invited me to come with my new detector and help in the recovery the next day.

In the likely area of the loss I could not set up my detector where I was standing, move back about 3 feet and “tuned in” the detector. On the first sweep I got a good sounding signal, looked down and saw the edge of a ring. Yes, it was Jamie’s ring.
That is the way all unfortunate situations should end…with Happy Smiles!

My stand in for Jamie

Lost Diamond Ring found in Salmon Arm

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

On a sunny day in Salmon Arm BC, Mike & Kelly Wilson were taking a stroll along the walkway next to the river. As they stopped and leaned on the rail to take in the scenery, Kelly was twisting the ring on her finger when suddenly it slipped off her finger falling onto the rocks and bush below. No problem said Mike, I saw it bounce & we will walk down and pick it up. Well after a few hours of searching they could not locate the ring.The next day Mike went to the local store and purchased a metal detector to assist them with the search, with no success they considered making an insurance claim. Mike thinking that someone more proficient with a metal detector may be able to help them, found me on the internet and asked if I would be willing to assist them. I told him I would be only too happy to help him out. After a two hour drive to Salmon Arm from Kelowna, Kelly showed me the location that she was standing on the walkway, I procceded to search the area and removed various pieces of foil and bottle caps., when after a few minutes I got a good signal around some roots in the long grass. Unable to visually see the target, I probed around with my finger, I felt the shank of the ring and said that I thought I had found something,  much to Kelly`s excitement. I removed the ring and was shocked to see a large 14 karat yellow gold ring with 15 large diamonds that Mike had valued at over $15,000.  Kelly was now so excited she gave hugs all around and dashed off to show all her friends. Mike was more than happy to give me a large reward. Plus a feather in the cap for the “Ringfinders”

Lost White Gold Ring at Cocoa Beach, Florida….FOUND!!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Early Monday morning I received an e-mail from Chris stating that his girlfriend had lost a small gold ring at Cocoa Beach late Sunday afternoon. As they were leaving the beach they realized their bag had a hole in it and the ring had slipped out. They spent an hour looking in the sand but were not able to find the ring. That night Chris went online to look for information on recovering lost jewelery and came across my name at theringfinders web site.

Later Monday morning I was able to talk to Chris and we set up a time to meet up half way and drive to the exact location. It was an absolutely beautiful spring day in the low 80’s with a cool breeze coming off the pristine Atlantic Ocean!

Chris showed me right where they had put their bag and the two paths on which they had walked to and from the car. (He also had lost a single car key that later on as we were searching the sand Chris was able to spot by eye and we were only 15 minutes into the search!)

I found the usual junk items in the sand–bottle caps and a few pull tabs along with a cool little hot wheels car–but no ring! I then decided to widen my search along one of the path ways and got a small signal that was barely audible and as I kicked the sand away to reveal the item— there was a small silver part of a band showing in the sand!!

It was such a thrill to be able to hand Chris his girlfriend’s precious ring and to see the joy it brought him!

And now what was lost has been found!!

Lost something?

Lost Ring Minnesota Lake Elmo recovered

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

McKenzie was a bit angry at her boyfriend and decided to throw the Silver Heart ring he gave her out of the car window. It was a country road and traveling at 55 mph, so the chances of directing the ring finders to the exact spot was pretty slim. We used a method of recreating the ring being tossed out and this gives us an approx. distance the ring could travel from the road. Well, it all payed off as 15 minutes into the search we located the ring. It was very close to the spot McKenzie thought it would be. She was off by only 10 feet!! Happy to see that ring back on McKenzies finger…Now please keep it there!!!!Take Care!

Engagement Ring Willmar Minnesota Found

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Erica lost her ring near her driveway in the snow. Needless to say, December in Minnesota has a LOT of snow and the ring disappeared. They rented a metal detector and had no luck finding it. So, i traveled up to Willmar and searched the area for a couple hours to no avail. It had snowed quite a bit since she had lost it and snow is always moved around by shoveling and snow blowing. I talked it over with Erica and Andrew and told them I would come back and try in the spring. I always tell people, don’t give up hope, I have found quite a few rings on the 2nd and even 3rd try. The 2nd try was the charm in this search, the ring was right where we figured it would be. All i can figure is that the deep snow must have kept it from registering the first time I went up. Anyway, Erica and Andrew now have their engagement ring back were it belongs. Congrats to both of you and hopes for a long and happy marriage together. Take Care!

I just wanted to share with the folks here at Ringfinders the “business cards” I’ve ordered. They are made of good quality paper card, which gives them a good presentation.

Lost Rings Cape Cod – Found & Returned by Cape Cod team

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

    Jan 17, 2011

      A message from RingFinders.com via Gateway Treasure Hunter Club put me in contact with JianJian who had seen her wedding rings leave her finger as she shook cold snow from them. The joyful play time with her two children turn to tears and a several stressful days.

Eight days after the loss and several bath tubs of snow being melted Kent B. from GTHC and I parked along 4-5 foot tall piles of snow to start our search. Power lines proved too much for one detector and a lowering of the sensitivity of a new, barrowed from J&E Enterprise, Garrett ATPro was a necessity. The ATPro was setup before hand in the PRO-CUSTOM mode specifically tuned to find platinum. Forty-five minutes into the search the ATPro sounded off for the first time. The reading locked up on 51, 4 points lower than my sample platinum ring.

The other machine being used could not “see” the target which was reading at 8 inches on the ATPro. A second shovel full of snow was removed, put on the roadway and the engagement ring was recovered. A second signal also locked on 51, but had a broken tone, also could not be “seen” by the second detector. From the second shovel full of snow the one of a kind, ornately designed, wedding band emerged.

Photo taking started before JianJian was told of the find. That action was the clue something was up and she came running out of the warm house with more excitement and appreciation than anyone I have ever returned a ring to. A few more photos were taken and a warm refreshment was offered. A wonderful cup of Green Tea was enjoyed over many detecting stories and the story of the diamond.

JianJian came to Massachusetts from an area in China where even a thought of a diamond engagement ring is something that would rarely enter a young woman’s mind. Years after JianJian’s wedding she was looking through a box of her husband’s great-great grandfather’s items and came across a piece of folded up wax paper. The contents, a single diamond, had been worn in a tie tack or similar adornment. A diamond ring was made and worn with respect in honor of the past owner. To say the least the ring had a great deal of sentimental value to JianJian.

My thanks go to Chris of RingFinders.com for passing the information along, Kent for keeping me company and aiding in the search and Eleanor for the use of the Garrett ATPro. Of course JianJian deserves my biggest THANK YOU for her open energetic personality, warmth and gratitude in allowing us to help in having a Happy Ending to a situation only she experienced the full breadth of. I know each person will be brought to mind every time I sip on a warm cup of Green Tea.
