Lost Tiffany Diamond Ear Ring Skydiving

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got call from Faith, she said she was Skydiving for the first time.  Once she landed in the field she was taking off her Goggles and felt her brand NEW (only had them 24 hours/10yr anniversary gift) Gold & Diamond Ear Ring flew off.  She immediately dropped to her knees with her parachute still attached and started looking for her ear ring.   Her partner and all of the staff at the Sky Diving Club searched and searched but with no luck.  They bought a metal detector NO Luck, the had someone come out with a better Metal Dectector- NO Luck.  Someone suggested she better hire a Pro, so she called “The Dallas Ringfinders”.

We got the call 1 week after the loss, we scheduled to come out after church on Sunday and met the couple and all 7 of the staff of the Sky Diving Club, everyone there had been searching for the Ear Ring.  Great thing was the staff had put out a orange cone at the landing location where Faith had landed.  Ellen & I got our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors and  our Garrett Water Proof Pinpointers and began our search… it only took a minute.  I got a solid 45 gold signal at less than 2 inches deep.  I checked the site with my Pinpointer but go No signal, I then cleared the dried grass with my foot and scanned again,  still getting the 45 Gold signal indicator.  I then bent down and slowly and carefully scanned the area with my pinpointer and got a hit on the edge of the thick grass I had cleared.. still seeing nothing I use my hand to slowly clear the grass and then I saw the “Glint”.  What fun to return a beautiful ear ring..

Lost Wedding Ring, Ortley Beach NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Metal detector rental

It was a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore, the perfect opportunity for Lisa and her friends to enjoy some time at the beach. What they didn’t plan for, however, was losing her rings in the soft, sugar-like sand so typical of these beaches. After searching for a while with no luck, someone in the group suggested calling NJ Ring Finder for help. Having heard about many successful recoveries on Long Beach Island and nearby areas, they were hopeful it wouldn’t be a wasted call.
Once I got the call, we arranged to meet shortly after. As I walked down the dune path towards the beach, I saw the group gathered in a large circle around their chairs, securing the area where the rings were lost. After a quick conversation to get the details, I got to work, carefully moving my metal detector’s coil back and forth across the sand.
Within just a few passes, the detector gave off a low, steady tone. I had a strong feeling this was it, and sure enough, BINGO—it was her ring! Everyone was amazed at how quickly the recovery happened.
Another successful search in the books. I love this job—saving vacations and creating lasting memories!

Lost White Gold Ring Found by Dowsing Rod in Rochester Hills Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

The Queen of the Castle’s Courtyard…..

…What started as a whole castle and carriage search for Jen’s missing ring ended up searching outside as well. The wax sealed letter revealed she wasn’t sure where to look but remembers that the day it went missing, she had been to a lot of places in and out of the castle and left no breadcrumb trail. After reading I realized this was no fairy tale. Crossing the moat and passing thru the gatehouse Jen assured me all defense mechanisms were disabled. I started my search of the great hall, kitchen, Queen’s chamber and with no enemies this castle had no dungeon(darn!). I used my MXT with wide search coil to search the smaller outer courtyard behind the castle where she had travelled to bring hors d’oeuvres to her guests and the children. No signals came thru. So, I went to the larger outer courtyard in front of the castle and started to walk around the perimeter of the castle with my dowsing rod to see if it would indicate an attraction of where to metal detect. As I started to pass the stone walkway leading to the spiked oak door and near a brick tower next to the inner courtyard Jen was previously preparing for high tea the dowsing rod pulled sharply to the right. I walked into the inner courtyard and took another sweep with the rod to see if the signal was coming from behind the castle walls, but the rod pulled to the right towards the brick tower. Looking thru the small pile of leaves and debris where the attraction was revealed Jen’s ring concealed next to the tower!! As she looked out from an upper chamber, I hailed her to come out. As she held her precious ring in her hand, she was amazed that it was found where it was. And now with peace restored in the kingdom, she can close this chapter of the book, take back the curse the course it took, and over high tea tell a better story of the glory!

Lost Ring at Perdido Key, FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

It’s not really summer anymore but we are still blessed with beautiful weather and that means days on the beach. Jennifer and her husband of 15 years came down from Arkansas and had been enjoying Perdido Key when calamity struck. Jennifer had taken her Diamond wedding band off and put it in the cup holder of her chair. After several relocations of the chair to find the perfect spot, Jennifer found herself packing up with the realization that her ring was gone. She Google searched and found me and luckily I was already nearby. She wasn’t sure if it was in the water or on the beach so I started with the easy part first. I had just set up a grid search and only barely started to cover the area when I heard a tone that had to be gold. I gently scooped it up and smiled at Jennifer. She came running over and magically the vacation was saved. Congrats Jennifer, I’m very proud that I could help you. God Bless!

Thrown wedding band found in Logan Ohio

  • from Marietta (Ohio, United States)

I received a call from a lady that was needing my help! Here is the story of how she came to needing my services.

 

On a HOT summer day down in hocking hills at the campground my husband and I had a few too many cold ones at the pool. Later that evening after watching some football and having a few more cold ones my husband of 8 years decided I shut the door a little too aggressively as I was going into our camper to make him a plate of food. The argument escalated into a full on screaming match and I decided I would take my wedding rings off and throw them. The first throw was pretty unsuccessful and before I knew it I saw my rings within sight so I picked up the biggest one and gave it a big ol fling! Jump to the hangover morning after we hopped in the truck and drove half an hour away to buy a metal detector. First time turning it on and it hits, found the wedding band. Continued the search for the engagement ring for as long as we could stand it. Felt like a hamster running on one of those wheels that goes no where! Fast forward to the next weekend and we went back down to camp to look again. Felt the same way, hamster on the wheel! Meanwhile the song by the band Perry ‘you lie’ the part about the wedding ring playing over and over in my head. After a 3rd weekend of an unsuccessful treasure hunt we decided to try professionals to get the job done. After a search online I came across Steve! He lived an hour and half away from our campground but on an evening after work met us down there to take over the hunt. Meanwhile he’s searching I just feel so defeated and thinking about my bad choices. He had me reenact my poor choice and where that ring landed he concentrated the search. We moved a pile of logs used for the fire pit and there it laid. Steve really was a God send and I am so thankful for him coming to help me undo what I had done. I feel complete again instead of thinking about my bad decisions every time I look at my hand. If you are unlucky and need Steve’s help or even if you just make bad choices at times Steve is your guy!

I got a call from Noah’s mom to see if I could help him locate a special ring that he had lost while playing basketball. It was a ring that his older brother once wore. What a blast to see siblings so close to each other. I got the story and pulled out my detector and……………Oh no. There was an underground dog fence giving off a lot of EMI. Bad thing was the house was vacant and I couldn’t turn it off. I started to make adjustments and learned that if I crept real slow I could hear signals amongst all the chatter. A few minutes later I let Noah be the one to operate the pinpointer and recovery the ring. The video shows the interference and the recovery.
