Platinum wedding ring recovered in Castle Rock, Colorado

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)

Brooklyn lost both her platinum wedding and engagement ring in her backyard doing yard work/playing with dogs.
Jeff would like me to note: she called him. Anyways…literal blood, sweat and tears. They found the wedding band last night in a neighbors yard with a flashlight as Jeff had suggested. We searched 4 neighbors yards, Jeff was bleeding from razor grass, I climbed a ladder several times, went down into window wells. After 2 hoursI decided I needed food. So after a quick lunch we regrouped. I decided to search with a pinpointer in deep, dense ornamental grass. The detector did not pick up anything there because of a metal fence right next to it. I was prepared to tediously use the pinpointer for awhile. After 2 minutes I found it at the base of the bush. The physics of how didn’t make sense. It would have had to fly straight up in the air to land where it was found.

Lost ring Winter Park found!

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)


I got a text late last night from Rebekah who was visiting from Texas. On Saturday she went on a hike in Fraser with her husband and friends. Hayden (husband) stopped to make a snow angel, while he was getting up he felt his wedding band fly off. They searched for a long time with no avail. They marked the area to come back and search. They looked for help on the internet thingy and after some research and a “no” from another detectorist they found me on Ring finders. I like a challenge and I really needed to get out. They were already so thankful that we were willing to drive out and try. Jeff and I packed up for some snow and headed west! They had brought a friend for reinforcements and to help in any way needed. After about 1/2 a mile hike…up, we got to their spot. Jeff and I started at opposite ends, less than a minute in I got a great signal, mind you it was not near where they thought, it was upslope a bit. I dug a bit with my pinpointer and about 2” inches deep I saw gold. At first I thought it was a bottle cap but then saw the platinum shine through. They were in disbelief and so thankful. They were just married 7 months ago and now they have a great story to tell. Well worth the drive, hike and
quick recovery!

Lost wedding band found and returned in Littleton, Colorado

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)

Testimonial:
Wow. Absolutely incredible, unforgettable experience.

What I thought was a normal Saturday went a little sideways when my wife realized she had accidentally lost her wedding band and engagement ring!

Luckily we found her engagement ring on the driver’s seat of her car, but after 2 hours of scouring the car, the area around the car, and the landscaping around that, we started to worry the wedding band was gone for good..

I was googling what metal detector works best for white gold when reddit recommended I try ring finders. When I hopped on ring finders Stephanie Hobbs was the closest ring finder to me, and I gave her a call!

She immediately answered and was able to be at our place looking in 1 hour, and for a very small reasonable flat fee!!!!

Her and her boyfriend Jeff both responded to our apartment, and after about 15 minutes of looking THEY FOUND THE RING, tucked away behind the TIRE OF OUR NEIGHBORS CAR. My wife and I had both LAID DOWN looking there multiple times! But what we didn’t have was Stephanie’s INCREDIBLE eye !!!
While this happened Jeff was painstakingly fishing his endoscope camera UNDER THE CARPET OF MY WIFE’S CAR WHERE THE WIRES GO to make triple sure that the ring didn’t roll down there somehow!!

The whole time we are chatting with Stephanie and Jeff realizing these might be two of the nicest, most kind hearted people we have ever run into. Absolutely amazing people to chat with and hang out with, all while being absolutely PHENOMENAL at ring finding.

I honestly don’t know what to say, my wife and I will never forget this day and will plan to stay in touch with Stephanie and Jeff in case they ever need anything.

 

White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

This adventure started at 9:30 am on Memorial Day, 2026 when I received a text from Maureen saying, “Hi, is this the ring finder gentleman? She went on to say, “I apologize so much, I know it’s a holiday, but I was told the sooner I try to get help finding it the better.  We were in front of the Carolinian Beach Resort on 25th Ave in Myrtle Beach with some friends yesterday and I lost my wedding band. It’s just a straight band with 5 diamonds across. It was given to me by my husband by his mom to give to me and I’m just devastated. I’ve been out with my dad’s metal detector once, and we are going to try and go out with it again today. Do you think there’s any chance in a million of finding it?” I immediately called the number, and it went to voice mail, so I text her to call me. When she called, I asked her if she could meet me and told her I could be there in about 30-40 minutes. She agreed, and I told her I was on my way.

When I got there, I texted her and she responded their GPS said they were about 16 minutes out. I asked her if she could give me a location on the beach with some landmarks, which she did. Luckily the beach wasn’t crowded yet, but there was a family just getting ready to set up their spot and it was very close to where I needed to search. I explained what I was doing and asked nicely if I could check their area really quick. They agreed and I quickly went over the area and got a solid 26 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Well, the 26 told me the target was in the silver range. This was way outside the single digits I expected for a white gold wedding band, which was what Maureen’s wedding band was. I dug the target and found a ring, it was nice looking, but one of the cheap rings people buy at the beach shops for $10 bucks. I thanked the family and waited for Maureen, her husband Miguel and their children.

Maureen and her family showed up a short time later and met me on the beach. Maureen walked to the south side of the area where they had been sitting. She said that she had taken her rings off and put them under the strap of her swimming suit top to put sunscreen on her and the kids. After she was done, her engagement ring was there but the wedding band had fallen out. I turned the Equinox 800 back on and started a north/south grid. Within just a few minutes, I got a booming 6 on the VDI, Bingo!! This was exactly what I was expecting for her white gold ring. Took a scoop of sand, shook out the sand and saw her ring in the bottom of the scoop. I held the scoop out to her and let her pull her treasure out. She was so excited, and some tears started to flow. Perfect ending and another chapter to add to her ring story.

Maureen – Thank you so much for calling and trusting me to help find your precious ring, so glad I could help. I wish all the best to you and Miguel.

Rental Detector in Kelowna finds lost ring

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)

Leila called me to ask if I rented out a Metal Detector, I told her that I sometimes do if I think it will be a successful hunt, I asked her what she had lost and where she lost the item. Leila had lost her gold ring in the grass at a ball field, she indicated that she knew the exact location. I told her I would rent her a detector that would be easy to use, but she should search for it as early as possible, others may find it in a public place. She came to my location quickly, and I demonstrated to them how to operate the machine. If they were unable to locate the ring I offered to supply my services to also search for it. The call came a few hours later that they had found the ring, success another happy customer.

 

Gold Wedding Ring Found by Rob Ellis in Richmond, VA.

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)

Matthew with his wife’s ring

Wedding Ring Found!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I highly recommend Rob Ellis. Most importantly, he found my wife’s missing wedding ring which she accidentally tossed off our deck when throwing out feed for animals. But the recommendation goes far beyond that. He behaved in the manner that I wish all vendors would:

He was quick to respond to my initial query & maintained good communication throughout the process.

Very thorough in understanding the details and circumstances pertaining to the missing item.

He kept his appointment and even though his arrival was delayed, he kept me abreast of the delay and I never had to “chase.”

He was also an absolute gentleman.

Cheer and God Bless!

Matt”

Thank you, Matt. It was a pleasure!!

Perdido Bay lost ring saves the weekend!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

Friday evening , I got a call from Annie in Lillian, Alabama. She and her brother Ben, along with several friends, had come down to their house on the water and spent the day on the dock and in the bay, having a blast. Ben, though, lost his wedding ring somewhere out in that water. They’d been out to chest-deep and deeper, playing around, so I met them on the dock to help. My wife joined me and sat on the dock with all the friends watching the show—she’s my lucky charm. I hit the water and it was definitely chest deep. I realized that it could be a long evening. Luckily though, not long in, I got a strong tone. A couple of scoops, and I had the ring. Everyone on the dock was celebrating. The best part was that Ben hadn’t even told his wife yet so as not to worry her on the drive down. This way he got to surprise her with the ring and an awesome story when she arrived and save the day and the holiday weekend. 😃👍
