Platinum wedding band lost along the lane to the house.

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Gregg Larabel, my RingFinder friend, received a call from Jason G saying he lost his wedding band on his way home from work.  He was driving into the lane to his home and threw a candy wrapper out of the truck window; his ring went flying with it.  It was dark, and he really did not have an exact spot where the ring was lost, but he knew it was just before the driveway to his neighbor’s house.  The next morning he did find a candy wrapper next to the lane and he marked this with a stick.  Gregg and I went out there and hunted for about 2 hours in the brush and heavy downfall of leaves with no success for that day.  Jason did say that he was sure the ring was thrown farther east of where he found the candy wrapper and we concentrated that day on that area.

Three days later Gregg and I called in some extra help — Fred Johnson, another Ringfinder, plus Denise M. and Jack B.  After preparing a test ring with a red ribbon on it, we threw it out a vehicle window to see how far it might have gone into the brush.  Then all five of us set out flags and started to grid the area.  After about an hour I found the ring very close to the original spot that Jason had marked for us, five feet or so from the edge of the road in a small clump of brush.  After some high fives we waited for Jason who was on his way home from work. Gregg had called him while he was on the road and told him the good news.

Jason presented us with a generous reward and after splitting that five ways, we all went home with smiles on our faces.  This hobby cannot get any better than this!

Ring lost in the sand on San Diego Bay Found!

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Zack left an urgent message on my cell phone voice mail stating that he had lost his 4 day old wedding ring in the sand across the street from where he was staying on his honeymoon. When I finally heard the message, I called him back for the details and arranged to meet him there at 11pm. We both arrived a bit early and Zack escorted me down to the area were he had lost it 3 hours earlier. He had been brushing sand off his hands by rubbing them on his pants when the unthinkable happened……the ring went flying into the sand and disappeared. Zack contemplated renting or buying a detector but found The Ring Finders online and decided to give us a try. Initially, I was told it was a silver ring, so, I expected a high pitched screamer for a target on my E-trac. Right after I fired my machine up, I get a low pitched, solid 12-06 moaner in my ears on my first swing. I asked again about the metal it was made of, and he said “silver, but it has some gold in it too”. Great, now I need to scoop virtually all non-ferrous sounds, starting with this one. Well, in this case, first time was the charm, as this 12-06 was his ring! So much for it being mainly silver. A happy Zack couldn’t believe I found it so quick. Getting me to the right spot was the key here, so, good job Zack! I hope you and your new bride enjoy the rest of your stay here. Great to meet you and thank you for the reward.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Kyle was installing fencing at a new home, and just for safety he put his 14k diamond wedding ring in his pocket so as not to lose it. On his way home he went to his pocket to put the ring back on, and it was missing. He checked out the W.W.W.  found The Ringfinders, and gave me a call, I responded within 30 minutes and found the ring 2 inches deep in the dirt by a fencepost. His concern was that it could have been anywhere on site, or even in the concrete around the post`s.  Another happy customer.

Contact:

Sara called about her husbands lost White Gold / Diamond wedding band. Lost at a local play area while out with the kids. Hard to explain, though the ring was just a bit deeper than my detector can scan, I have an in-line sunray probe which I can get just a bit deeper into the play area  – My last try and I very luckily scanned it – This was a one in a million shot, and it paid off!! Congrats to you and your husband Sara, so glad I could help out.

White gold rind recovered from Commerce City park

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Patrick was out playing in the local park with his son with a boomerang type toy. Being afraid of losing his ring, Patrick took off his ring and placed it in his son’s hat which was on the ground. As they were bringing their play time to an end, Patrick’s son went to pick up his hat when he noticed it was crawling with ants so he gave his hat a kick. And with that Patrick’s ring went flying and disappeared into the grass. Patrick went to a local metal detector store and rented a detector. After several minutes of searching he had not found his ring and ended up calling me for help. Luckily I was only a couple of minutes away and even though I was running late for a dinner date with friends and my wife I couldn’t resist helping out.

After 15 minutes of searching my CTX gave me a nice ring signal, there sat Patrick’s ring peeking out of the grass. Quickly we gave high-fives and snapped a couple of photos so that I could race home to my diner date.

Lennon, Michigan Wedding ring lost, wedding ring found

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I was called by Chuck M. yesterday to find his wedding band that he lost while setting plants in his yard. Chuck and his wife Sharmon live on an 80 acre farm in a small village of Lennon, Michigan just north of Swartz Creek, MI.

While doing the planting Chuck noticed his ring missing after planting 2 small bushes and taking some dug up sod and dirt across the yard and throwing it in a ditch. Chuck and Sharmon looked for the ring with no results, frustrated, they went to their computer and found The Ring Finders and gave me a call. I generally have my Ring Finder friend Dave Boyer go with me on hunts as I go with him on his calls. We make a pretty good team with a high percentage of finds.

We arrived at the farm and introduced ourselves to the Chuck and Sharmon and after they pointed out the area they were working in we got to work. Dave turned on his AT Pro and went to the first bush and up popped a penny. He tossed it to Sharmon and we all thought it was the ring which got a big laugh. A moment later my Fisher F75 gave me a hit and there was Chuck’s titanium wedding band. The total search lasted about 2 minutes. Smiles lasted longer than the hunt and another happy couple goes into the Book of Smiles.

It was our pleasure meeting this nice couple today and finding his lost ring.FullSizeRender (22)

White gold ring recovered from Denver volleyball court

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Nate was running late for his volleyball league game, so when he arrived at the courts he just hopped right in to the action. Within a minute of his joining the game his wedding ring slipped off his figure and landed in the sand of the volleyball court. He didn’t see the ring leave his figure but he noticed it was missing shortly thereafter.

Nate searched for his ring but would not find it as it had quickly sank out of sight in the loss sand. A few days later he found The Ring Finders and my profile, he contacted me and we set a date and time for a search.

I began my search pattern by running over the side of the court that he was on playing on when he lost his ring. I came up with a few targets but no ring. I then searched the opposing side hoping the ring flew to that side, no luck. I then switched machines and started another search pattern perpendicular to my original pattern. Within a couple of passes my MXT sounded off on a signal, I dug the sand out with my scoop. With in a few seconds the Nat’s ring was in my scoop. Nate was pretty darn happy, his wife had given up hope 30 minutes into the search. So she had a wonderful surprise when I dropped Nate off at home.

Nate’s ring is a unique one with wood and meteorite insets in white gold.

Lost Ring Found at Kelowna Beach

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Mark was down on Gyro Beach for the evening with the boys. He dropped his wedding ring in the sand, knew where it was but the whole group after searching around,could not find it. He called me the next day, which was Thanksgiving Day, asking when I would be available to help him in his search. Experience tells me the sooner the better, I told him I will be there in 30 minutes. I got there before he did and could see by the scrape marks where they had been searching, 5 minutes later it was in my pouch. Mark arrived and was delighted to see his diamond wedding band, he tells me I saved his marriage.

Lost Rose Gold Wedding Band at Hale Koa Waikiki Beach…….FOUND!!!

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

IMG_1521

This hunt started on July 14th 2015 when I offered ring finder services to a craigslist ad for a lost ring at Hale Koa Beach in Waikiki. David agreed and met me on the beach the next day. Not being positively sure David assumed his ring was lost while he was body surfing in large waves at Hale Koa Beach. The waves were strong enough to throw him up onto the sand so the best guess is when he used his hands to break his fall somehow and at some point it came off. I started my search in the wave bench and then moved out to chest deep water. A few insignificant targets but no ring. After covering the area thoroughly with no success David and I searched the area where they were on the beach and a few transit points back to the hotel but nothing. I told David there was a possibility the ring was at a depth I couldn’t detect but that the sand moves a lot here and the ring would eventually settle out in the wave bench if it in fact was lost while crashing on the beach sand. I’ve gone through the area 3-4 times and finally Tuesday night 6 October I got a solid but faint target in the wave bench. Six scoops later and low and behold there was David’s Rose Gold Wedding band. Wow! My theory was actually correct and thankfully we had some strong surf the night before that probably removed just enough sand for the Excalibur to detect the ring. It was at least 10-12 inches down in the wave bench sand. That’s a record depth for me. I emailed then called David that evening with a picture of the ring. Obviously he was pleasantly surprised. The ring is in the mail back to David in Las Vegas, Nevada. He still owes me a picture with a smile which I’m sure to get soon. Never give up! How no other detectorist in Waikiki didn’t find this ring leads me to believe it may have been divine intervention. Aloha to David.
