Lost Custom Wedding Ring near Lincoln Heights…Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

There once was a happy couple named Kassidy and Brian. They walked joyfully around a bike park while their kids rode their bikes. They sat for a while on a bench. Then they walked around the paths in the park and lastly headed back to their car. The days errands needed to be completed, so off to the grocery store they went. Then they returned back to their house. Kassidy had to begin working on the chores. Back and forth she went from left to right, walked all the while keeping a steady pace through each task. There were pumpkins to move, leaves to pile up, grumpy kids to tend to and then lastly a shovel to find. As Kassidy was walking with her shovel she could feel the coolness of the day creep into her hands. Nevertheless, Kassidy kept on working. Cleaning the chicken run, feeding and watering, and new bedding in the nesting boxes. The last step of putting fresh bedding in the nesting area caused another feeling to creep in. The last handful of wood shavings that she was throwing into the box, gave her a familiar feeling. Kassidy’s ring was gone. The fact of the matter was this wasn’t the first time that ring had fallen off. In fact, she knew the very sound it made when it would fall off of her hand and hit the ground. This time was different; the not so happy couple hadn’t the foggiest idea of where it came off at.

The story I normally tell is that the person who lost an item finds me and then I try to find their item. For this story that isn’t how it went. See I got a call at work, it was from one of my colleagues, he had a question about my metal detecting skills. One of his friends had told him about his wife losing her ring. After a day with no contact, I spoke to my colleague about the situation. After a few texts from my colleague to his friend, I got a call from the friend, Brian. We talked and I got the details of where I would search first. So off to the park where the happy couple started their day. After showing up to the park, the evening had come to a close. I had a head lamp but searching in the dark was hard. There were pits and jumps everywhere, I didn’t find the ring there.

After that search, Brian and I talked about meeting up on Saturday. When I arrived in the morning to Brian and Kassidy’s house, I was taken on a tour of their property. Kassidy had been really busy and shown me everywhere the ring could have fallen off. Which was almost anywhere she had walked because the ring would fall off her finger without a forceful action. The tour ended and I asked her where she thought the ring could have fallen off. Her mind told her that it was most likely the chicken coop area. The nesting box was small, so I got out my pin pointer and searched the wood shavings. The next place I thought to look was the bag she had been pulling the shavings out of. At no point did I assume I would find the ring, because the couple had done all they could do to back track her movements. I used my pin pointer on the top of the shavings and then brought the bag out to a clear area to scan it with my metal detector. Swinging the coil around the bag I didn’t get any signals. However, when I tipped the bag over a very clear signal came out of my headphones. I checked the VDI number and saw a 12 on the screen. Thinking the ring was white gold I bent down to take a closer look. The ring was in the bag. I couldn’t believe it. I was thinking there was just a very slim chance this ring was somewhere on their property. But now I was standing over its hiding place wondering if I should surprise the couple. Walking with the bag in hand over to the front door, I thought I would ask for a demonstration from Kassidy on how she was grabbing the shavings out of the bag. Brian went and got Kassidy, and she gladly showed me what she did. The bags opening was facing up and the ring was down away from Kassidy, so I tipped the bag over to reveal the ring sitting inside the bag. Kassidy was in complete shock when she stuck her hand into the bag and retrieved the ring. I was also in shock that the ring was so well hidden inside the bag that it spent two weeks in there without being found. The ring back on Kassidy’s finger and the warm embrace of the couple hugging brought the happiness back to the couple and so concludes a Ring Finders happy ending.

Lost Wedding Ring in Lee’s Summit

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

Kayle realized she lost her ring on Sunday.  Trying to recreate all her actions since the last time she knew she had it on, she felt the most likely culprit was the backyard football game.  She enlisted friends and family to help look through the leaves and grass.  She even rented\purchased metal detectors to no avail.  On Friday she contacted me and within a couple of hours we were in the “football field” in question.  We did our best to re-enact the events, figured out most likely areas and then grid the boundaries of the search area.  10 minutes of swinging and we hit that unmistakable staccato tone of a surface target!  Another very happy customer!

Lost wedding ring in Roxborough found and returned!

“I found you” 🥹
I woke up to a phone call from Jaime after working my night shift today. He explained he was practicng football drills in a park with his 15 year old son yesterday and realized he had lost his rose gold wedding ring. He was recenlty married and was worried his wife was going to be really upset so He bought a metal detector from Amazon for around $100. He didn’t really know what he was doing with it though and asked if I could help him. When I got there he had cones already set up where they were running the drills and he said he was 99% sure he lost it in that area. He stayed to help me for a little bit and I can tell he was getting the hang of the detector. He asked me what sensitivity I was using. 😆 so he must’ve of googled some info. After almost 2 hours I found the ring…not where he thought he lost it. Probably about another 8-10’ away off the grid.
I am finding that when they say 99% sure it really means only about 20-25% are right about that.
He has the sweetest inscription I think I’ve seen yet “I found you” ❤️

Jet turbine RC heli recovered Waverly Nebraska

John came across one of my ring finder posts. He saw that I did dive detecting recoveries and wanted to see if I would try and find this turbine heli that went down and he thought it possibly went in a pond as they had searched around it with no results. He even did some detecting in the water but he knew a tight grid was key and I have developed a proven technique. I used to fly giant scale rc so I understand how the depth perception can be very hard to impossible when something goes down. Well before I hit the water I expanded their original search area as walking is easier than diving in pitch black. Well unfortunately I came across it 1 day after the combine did. I was able to detect the area and recover all the parts though. The mystery has been solved after 4 months.

Wedding Ring Found On Thousand Oaks Golf Course

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:
Melody called me and stated her husband Richard lost his wedding ring while walking near the golf course. They have been married for 51 years and he is in the doghouse now for losing his ring. I called my friend Duke and we arrived meeting Richard at the front door. He explained that he was hunting for golf balls in the woods behind his house near the driving range when his ring came up missing. We followed him to the area and there were dozens of golf balls thrown back onto the fairway that he had found in the wooded area. We started searching the woods and then Duke had Richard show him how he was throwing the balls he was finding. On a hunch Duke walked out onto the fairway about 10ft from the woods and there was Richard’s ring laying in plain sight in the short grass-the ring had went flying along with one of the golf balls. Duke gave me the high sign and I walked out there and spotted the ring right away. Duke called Richard over, hiding the ring with his foot, and then showed him the prize. These are the moments we never forget!

Lost wedding ring in Denver found and returned!

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

This gentleman lost his wedding band in a busy Denver park while playing with his dog. It was loose already and he was meaning to get it sized, unfortunately not before the day he lost it. After gridding the areas of possibilities with pin flags I went to work. After almost 2 hours and about half way through the grid, I got a perfect signal 73 on the Deus. I looked down and there it was camouflaged in dead grass. Exposed for anyone that would be looking for it. Need less to say he has made arrangements to make sure it fits properly.

The Impossible Coronado Beach Find: Micah’s Lost Gold Necklace (and Gold Coin)

  • from Coronado Beach (California, United States)

Micah being reunited with gold necklace!

***Call a professional metal detectorist for help locating a ring in the sand-at the beach, in the grass – at a park or backyard — Charles “MD” Krug 619-762-0940***

It began with a call from Micah’s wife, who had found me through The Ringfinders after returning to their home state. Her husband, Micah, had lost something extraordinary—an almost unbelievable treasure—while body-surfing just 48 hours earlier.

A rogue wave had hit him hard, tossing him end over end in the surf. When he surfaced, shaken and gasping, he immediately knew something was wrong. His 90-gram 14kt Byzantine gold chain and pendant—a dazzling 20 pesos gold coin—was gone. With a melt value around $7,600, it wasn’t just expensive—it was a precious and sentimental piece of jewelry.

As the tide fell that day, Micah and his family searched frantically in the shallows, scouring the sandy bottom in knee-deep water. But the ocean is a cruel keeper of secrets. The chain was nowhere to be seen.

When I received the call for help, I was honest: with only a vague idea of where the loss occurred, the odds of finding it were slim to none. Still, there was one glimmer of hope—the sheer weight of the necklace. At nearly three troy ounces, there was a chance it had sunk straight down and stayed put, anchored by the heavy coin.

So I began my hunt. I studied tide charts, calculated the target IDs for both 14k gold and the Mexican 20 pesos coin, and mapped out my search zones with GPS precision. Over the next several days, I conducted four separate 90-minute hunts, battling shifting sands, pounding waves, and exhaustion.

This time of year, the surf is merciless—six to eight-foot breakers crash with bone-rattling force on the shallow slope of the beach. Snorkeling was impossible. I worked upright, detector in one hand and basket scoop in the other, pushing the limits of the surf zone to about four feet deep. Any farther, and the waves would swamp me completely.

Then came the fifth outing. Low tide. Late afternoon sun. The sea was calm—for once. In waist-deep water, my detector sang out with a strange, alternating tone. It wasn’t the strong solid tone of gold; more like a nickel and dime mixed with some iron.  Still, instinct told me to dig.

First scoop—nothing.
Second scoop—still nothing.
On the third scoop, a flash caught my eye.

In the wet sand, coiled like a sleeping serpent, was a four-inch length of warm, bright gold chain.  My heart leapt.  I froze, then a grin spread across my face. “Woohoo!” I shouted into the wind, the cry echoing across the empty beach.

I marched triumphantly from the surf, chest out, water streaming from my surf shirt (gut sucked in).  Instead of dumping the scoop unceremoniously onto the sand, I knelt and reverently sifted through the wet mix until the entire 26 inches of gold chain emerged, the gold coin pendant, still attached, swinging freely.

The $12,000 necklace shimmered in the fading light—salt-streaked, sand-dusted, yet utterly magnificent.  The ocean had held it captive for twelve days, burying it nearly a foot beneath the sand, and yet it survived unmarred, untouched, and waiting.

Some hunts end in frustration.  Some end in quiet relief.  This one ended in pure, unforgettable triumph.  (Shout out to Saint Anthony!)

Gold Chain and Gold Coin!
