1950 Class Ring Returned, Missing for 64 years.
I was conducting an underwater scuba search for a lost wedding ring. As usual, I will find many different items on my searches. I was approx. 25 feet deep in an area that was sandy, though under the thin layer of sand was a foot of muck. My detector made a strong sound, I knew it was either a coin or a ring by the tone. Digging in muck really clouds the water and makes it very difficult to recover items. I was trying to clear the area by waving clear water into my hole and I caught a glimpse of this large gold ring. It wasn’t what I was looking for, though it was a nice to see! I cleaned the ring up and got a closer look, it was 1950 St. Thomas Academy Jostens Class Ring. 18 Grams of 10K Gold. The next day I started my search online and it only took me about 5 Minutes to find the name that went with the initials sketched in the ring. I found out he was living in Fort Worth Texas and is now 82 years old. I contacted him and he was quite surprised to say the least. He couldn’t remember the exact lake he had lost the ring in, though he remembered losing it the summer he bought it in 1950.
The ring is now on it’s way to it’s rightful owner. Congrats and I’m glad I could help out in recovering your lost valuable.

Hello! My name is Josh Kimmel. I recently joined The Ring Finders. I am very involved with metal detecting and have a true passion for this hobby / lifestyle as well as a passion for recovering history in all of it’s forms. My passion for metal detecting goes beyond just merely trying to find pieces of the past, I also have a passion for helping others locate those special lost items that they thought may have been lost forever. That’s right!, I enjoying trying to help others find these items and strive to reunite people with their items. Jewelry such as class rings, wedding bands, engagement rings, gold, silver, platinum and other rings and jewelry to keys and even property markers. I have been asked to search for many different things and strive to do my best to locate them when possible. One of my favorite returns was of a silver and platinum class ring that had been lost for approx. 31 years when I one day found it and tracked the owner down to return it to her within 2 weeks. When people lose that precious, sentimental item it can be very distressing and I do what I can. Each lost item is unique and has a story of it’s own. When that item is lost by someone that story doesn’t have to end. With a recovery that story can continue.
If you are in the Celina, OH or Grand Lake St. Mary’s area or even the Ohio counties of Mercer, Auglaize, Van Wert, Allen and other outlying areas I just may be able to help. Why try to rent a metal detector or find a metal detector rental to try and locate your lost sentimental item or a particular metal item you would like found when you can contact a metal detector specialist that will use many years of experience as well as some of the best equipment to try and locate that item for you. Forget renting the detector and get a detectorist!
My years of experience and the equipment I use enable me to find and locate many different metal items in all terrains. Parks, private yards, school yards, tot lots, beaches, snow, water(up to 5ft deep), fields, woods, hillsides and anywhere else for that matter. Rings, jewelry, property markers, cache hunting, property searches and so on I’m always trying to help people with my experience. I even offer my services to Realtor s, Law enforcement, and insurace companies as well others and do what I can to help.

Lost Diamond Ring in yard, Port Orange, Florida….Found!
Thousands of people across this great land drop things every day in their yards! Some of those things are found and many are never recovered. People often move to another house, sometimes across town and other times to another state. And yet those lost items remain hidden in the ground waiting for someone else to find them.
Nancy had lost a very special ring in her front yard months earlier and now was in the process of moving out. The very thought of never seeing her precious family heirloom again drove her to search for someone who could help her find this unique platinum and diamond ring that was handed down from her great grand mother.
As I listened to Nancy’s story I figured the ring should be fairly easy to find, so we set up a time to meet and do a thorough search. Nancy showed me the area of the yard where the ring was lost and as soon as I started searching my detector began giving off all sorts of noise. I tried two other search modes and still there was lots of static and interferrence of some kind. I finally switched to the Prospecting mode and in 5 minutes I got a sweet low signal and there 3 inches under the grass was Nancy’s beautiful ring!
Do you know where you have lost something a long time ago or maybe even recently? I am here to help!

Lost Ring in Garden, Don’t Waste your Time Renting a Metal Dectector – Call a Ring Finder! – Madison, WI
I took a day off from work to take care of several errands around town that had piled up, so I was driving a lot, stopping in several businesses, and crossing many parking lots. Later in the day, I worked in my yard, weeding and cutting back branches with my pruners. I usually wear gloves when I’m gardening, but I didn’t think I’d be out for very long that afternoon, so I skipped the gloves. (Never again!)
Among other things, I inherited crooked little fingers and big knuckles from my father. I’m also left-handed, and my sister had given me some left-handed pruners. The big knuckles mean that my wedding ring has had several modifications to make it fit my finger right, with the last being hinges on the sides and a clasp on the palm side of the ring.
After I had done more gardening than I planned, I had another errand to run, and when I looked at my left hand on the steering wheel, my stomach dropped about a foot when I realized my wedding ring was gone and I had no idea when – or where – I had lost it. Because I’m usually pretty aware of it, I thought I must have lost it in the garden – but where? I was all over the yard and it could be anywhere – in the mulch, in the dirt, in the grass, in the overcrowded hostas, in the birdfeed bin – anywhere.
When I got home, my husband and I started to search, but it was getting dark, so we decided to try again later. On my next day off, I checked with the places that I had visited on the Thursday that I lost the ring, but no one had seen it. I still suspected it was in the yard, but I still didn’t know specifically where.
My husband kept up the search over the next several days, and I borrowed a metal detector from someone who answered my plea on our neighborhood message board. But I quickly realized that I did not have the skill (or the time to learn the skill) to use it effectively. Dan later told me that this is common when people rent a metal detector. Feeling more and more discouraged, I checked the Lost and Found listing on Craigslist, where a title jumped out at me: “Lost Ring?”
That listing led me to the www.TheRingFinders.com website and to Dan Roekle, who I contacted. After coordinating our busy schedules, he and his son Carter came over on a Saturday afternoon. I showed them the two specific places in the yard that I thought were the most likely places where my ring was likely to be. Dan commented on the large number of pieces of metal that he was getting hits on, mostly from the roof replacement that we had a few years back. He showed me one of the pieces and then he continued his search. A few minutes later, he came back to where I was and with a totally straight face, said “Sometimes we find other things, too” and opened his hand. There was my ring! He had found it in the middle of the leaves of a hosta plant – the perfect place to hide. The grin on my face still hasn’t gone away!
And there’s one more thing my father gave me – he was a clergyman who married my husband and me, so part of the service was blessing our rings. He died seven years ago, and knowing that I have back the ring that he blessed, means more to me than I had ever thought it would. Thank you so much, Dan and Carter!

Lost Gold Ring in Victoria Found and returned
July 20th 2013 Roy lost a ring in Elk Lake that was a very special ring because it was custom made from his late mothers jewelry. When Roy was on an air mattress in July of 2013 he felt and watched his ring fall off and sink to the bottom. He jumped off and figured that it was about 10 feet deep.
Roy hired a diver the next day, who spent 1 hour and 20 minutes searching, but no luck.
Fourteen months later I was diving with my Hookah and an under water detector looking for another lost ring, when under 6 inches of silt found this ring.
I knew this was a very special ring so I had to try to find the owner.
I searched the internet and found Roy’s ad and texted him, ” I think I have found your ring I said”. A few minutes later my phone rang, the man at the other end gave me a description of the ring in my hand and we arranged to meet later that day.
Roy appeared to be in shock but very happy, fourteen months later his lost ring was recovered and returned to him.
I love my job.
Lost Platinum Diamond Wedding Ring at Bethany Beach, Delaware/Found
I received a call from a young lady regarding the loss of her Platinum Diamond Wedding Ring in the sand located at the beach on Bethany Beach, Delaware. The young lady stated that she had been putting suntan lotion on her children and that she was not sure if she had lost the ring while while putting the lotion on the children or if she had lost it afterwards while sitting in her beach chair. I responded to the beach where I made contact with the owner of the lost ring at which time she took me to the area of the beach where the ring was lost. I began my search in the area of the beach where the lady had been sitting in her beach chair, after two swings of my coil I received the tone that I wanted to hear. With one scoop of sand the ring was recovered and returned to its grateful owner. The young lady confessed that she did not really believe that I would be able to recover the ring.
Metal Detecting For a Lost Diamond Wedding Band, Vancouver BC…
I was relaxing at home and thinking of hitting the hay when the phone rings just a few minutes before 10 pm. It was a young lady who sounded very upset and was wondering if I could help find her diamond wedding band.
After talking about the search she was brave enough to tell me that she got mad at her husband and tossed the ring into a grassy area by the college. Believe it or not that is a very common thing that people do…You never see many people on my videos talking about this because they don’t want to be seen or talk about such a search, and most won’t want their picture taken. I woke up quickly and grabbed my equipment and headed to Langara College where she was waiting.
I was greeted by a very sad young lady when I arrived and we talked about the search area, I had her throw my wedding band so I can see the general area and strength of the toss. I started my search and after a lot of questions and approximately 30 minutes and my second cross grid of the area I got a good signal and there between the grass blades was her diamond wedding band!
I was so happy to see that ring and I was able to surprise her as she did’t see me find it…
I hope she and her husband can patch things up and she can look back and smile about the night the ring went flying. Thanks for watching! If you lost something and need it found call me ASAP You can watch the video of the search below…
Platinum wedding band recovered in South Haven, Lake Michigan
Wow! what a find today. I not only found the ring for Todd S. but got a steak dinner out of the deal. I was called by a fellow Ring Finder, Tom Townsend, who originally got the call but because of his work schedule could not make the search. I called Kimm, Todd’s sister-in-law, around 5PM and after talking to her made arrangements to go down to South Haven, MI at 9AM the next morning. The weather at the moment was warm and the big lake was very calm so I decided to make the 50 mile trip right away that evening. I called my detecting partner, Dave B., and we got our gear together and got down to South Haven about 6:30PM giving us a good 2 hours to hunt before sunset.
We met Kimm and Todd’s wife Jennifer and their other sister Melissa and the kids at the lake and they directed us to the spot and there in the lake was Todd who had goggles and a snorkel and had been in the water for over 5 hours looking for his ring. Dave and I began our search using a grid method and in about 20 minutes I got a good signal on my CZ21, I scooped up the sand and there it was a beautiful platinum ring with 7 diamonds. Todd was about 3 feet from me and I raised my hand with the ring and got a big bear hug from him. It was a very emotional moment from a giant of a man. After some happy faces and pictures taken, even by tourist, we were invited to dinner at their vacation home down the street.
After everyone went back to the house Dave and I searched the water for a little while as the Lake was calm and the weather was great. We changed into our dry clothes and went to Todd’s vacation home and met the rest of the family. This was an Italian family from Pingree Grove, IL and when they get together it is a meal that was meant for a king. We had Filet Mignon and all the trimmings. Kimm had grown most of the salad items from her 4000 square foot garden. With the meal and great conversation, that lasted late into the evening, we wrapped up a great search event and headed back to Grand Rapids. Thank you Tom T. for the referral.
