LOST WHITE GOLD WEDDING RING IN RALEIGH, NC….. FOUND!!!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

While in SC attempting another recovery, sadly didnt find that one, I received a text about a lost ring in Raleigh, NC, at a parks volleyball sandy pit area.

The couple were visiting from out of state and leaving soon. I advised them of the current laws and that I’d have to call the local police to see if I could get permission to try and find it. I called Raleigh, PD and they deferred me to the park staff/security. I called and spoke with the director of the park where the ring was lost. He advised me he would have to call his supervisor and said he’d call me back. About 30 mins later I get a call and the green light!!! They said someone would need to be present while I searched for the ring, I said, “sounds good to me!” So from SC it was about a 3 hour drive!

I arrived at the park, then couple arrived and I called the Director to advise him we were there and I was about to get started. I covered the first area and didn’t find it. The park director showed up and sat at the picnic table where the 2nd possible location was. 1 pulltab and 1 twist top later I get another signal and it’s her ring!

Lost car key/fob…found with a metal detector…Maitland, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Rob and his beautiful lady friend were coming in late and as she pulled the apartment key from her purse the car fob popped out as well and they heard it bounce off of the concrete sidewalk and then nothing. They figured it fell into the short wispy bushes and they searched with the lights on their cell phones but could not locate the hidden fob. The next morning they searched again and still no fob. They went online and found theringfinders.com website and gave me a call. Two hours later I met them at their apartment and Rob was positive about the location where the fob dropped so it was a matter of scanning the bushes with my ATMax metal detector and a double check with my Garrett AT Pro pin pointer and BINGO!

They were so happy to have their car fob again and I was happy to be a help and blessing to them.

How can I help you? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk…321-363-6029!

Lost Gold Ring at a Private School in Tustin, CA… Found in Play Area Wood Chips

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 

Stan Metal Detector Man call or text for prompt mobile metal detecting at your location.. Stan .. 949-500-2136


*** Marlo’s father, Bob called me asking for information on how the ringfinders service works. his daughter had lost a sentimental gold ring at her work place. He bought a metal detector to find  the ring in wood chips of a children’s play area. Bob realized quickly that the detector was not able to locate the ring. He had never used a metal detector before, so it just added to the frustration.

We arranged to get on the private school property in the evening after school students were not there. Bob met me there where security people accompanied us to the area of the loss. Marlo was there to explain that one of her young 7 years old students ask to see Marlo’s gold ring. A couple minutes later the little girl had dropped the ring in the wood chips.

It helps a lot to hear the whole story of the loss from the person that lost the item. I turned on my detector and shortly realized why her father was having problems with his detector. There was massive interference with EMI ( electrical magnetic interference ) .. I adjusted my metal detector to tune out the interference. A couple minutes later after digging a coin and a screw, I was able to find the small gold ring, Marlo and her father were very impressed to see how efficient a proper metal detector could find a small gold ring.

Marlo was so happy that her father had found my service to help her find a sentimental ring that was a gift from her mother. Rings have so much meanings for people. I wish I could have found the owners of rings that I have found over the past 50 years. The internet has changed that, now people can find help.

Call with any questions about finding lost metallic items that can be located by an experienced metal detector expert..  Stan the Metal Detector Man .. member of the Ringfinders … 949-500-2136  … ‘I WILL TRY ANYWHERE”

Lost Black Diamond & Titanium Wedding Ring at Kaimana Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began yesterday when I got a call from David who was on vacation from Middletown, Connecticut and enjoying the day at Kaimana Beach with his lovely wife Sara.  While heading out for a swim David’s Black Diamond Titanium ring fell off into the sand just before the reef edge in waist deep water.  He actually saw the ring on the bottom momentarily but a wave crashed into him and it was buried from sight by the stirred up sand.  David found me on “theringfinders” website and we agreed to meet the next morning at 9 during the low tide.  When I arrived I met Sara & David on the beach and David went into the water to show me where to hunt.  He had counted 25 paces from the water’s edge which was a brilliant manuever in order to get the most precise location.  Most tourists in a panic would not think to do that.  I fired up the beast and started gridding around David.  Thankfully, the area was sterile and the first target boomed on the Manticore.  Upon the second scoop there was David’s unique ring in the scoop.  David retrieved the ring from the scoop and we went up to the area where Sara was on the beach.  We were going to tell her it was a hopeless situation but I think she could tell immediately that prank wasn’t going to work.  A few laughs and handshakes and I was on my way home.  Vacation saved!  Aloha to David & Sara!

Lost your Jewellery, cell phone, keys… don’t wait till it’s too late call/24/7  Chris- 778-838-3463

Cell phones…We live on them now and they are crazy expensive. Most of us have them insured bot if you don’t have the phone you dot get a replacement, for us, Canadians AppleCare does not include lost or stolen however, if you go through your provider, most cases, they will offer you lost or stolen for an extra fee. I have mine insured that way because mine cost a lot of money… I think next year I’m going to lease my phone

I was detecting at White Rock beach and I found a phone I put it in my pocket when I got home I cleaned it up took the SIM card out put it in my iPhone and was able to get a contact number off that phone. This phone belong to a young lady and the mother explained how important it was to get it back because without it their plan would cancel for some reason they needed the SIM card. I’ve returned a lot of phones because I know how to retrieve the numbers from them. I still have a lot of phones that haven’t been claimed. Maybe people were on holidays here and just gave up..

This is the young ladies uncle who picked up the phone…

Lost White Gold Diamond Engagement Ring- Found in Grove City, PA by Metal Detecting Specialist Brian Carpenter

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I received a text from Madeleine that she had lost her ring is a pasture while building fence. I asked her to give me a call and she provided me with some more information and as luck would have it I was able to head out right away. During our initial conversation she asked me if I ate meat and told me her family had a cattle farm and she would bring me some steaks. So when I was packing up my gear I threw a small cooler in the back, more about that in a bit… About an hour and a half later I met her at the farm where she lost the ring. I looked at the sprawling pastures where she said they had put in about 60 acres or so of fencing. At that point I thought to myself, I am going to be here a while…lol! We talked a bit and I got a few additional bits of information. She had put her ring in her vest pocket with the control for her dog and only removed it from her pocket in two spots and we both thought that logically those could be the places where the ring dropped out. She has also bought a metal detector and walked the fence line but did not check the area where they were working initially. So Madeleine handed me my call out fee and two awesome looking steaks that I deposited in the cooler. She headed out and I started to work.

I started griding the area where they were working with the skid loader.  Back and forth I found a few nails, shell casings and smal random pieces of metal. I had gotten a few good sounds but no ring. Then I got another hit and checked again with my pinpointer…nice steady tone on the top. I parted the grass and there was the ring. It had been about 20 minutes to a half hour. I sent Madeleine a text…hope that you haven’t made it too far, with a picture of the ring and jokingly asking if this was hers. However the cell service was terrible and only the first text made it through before my phone rang. She asked what as up and I said oh you only got my first text and then the others came through with the picture and her response – Yes that’s it! We talked for a few minutes about arrangements for her to get the ring and now that the hard work was done I asked her about the old farm house down the road. As anyone who metal detects knows old farm houses are pretty high on the bucket list as permissions and they can be hard to get. So I inquired if I could look around for a bit before heading back down Interstate 79 and I would drop her ring off. She gave me permission but wanted to come up and get the ring as soon as she could. I met her at the old farm house and as you can see from the picture she was smiling as soon as she pulled in. I was happy to have found her ring, especially as quickly as I did and return it. It was a pleasure to meet and help another kind and extremely generous client!

In case you were wondering, I did not find anything other than a few clad coins at the old farm house but the opportunity was awesome. And after doing some research I found out the signifcance of the “steaks”. Madeleine’s family has a wagyu beef farm. To me at the time it did not mean much – the steaks looked great…however after checking things out I now know the significance of wagyu beef (if you don’t know what it is…look it up) and WOW! So while it has been a really busy weekend and I have not had the opportunity to grill up those steak I am really looking forward to doing so and VERY MUCH appreciate the added bonus and generosity!

Wedding Ring Recovery in a Palo Alto Park

  • from Santa Cruz (California, United States)
Contact:

 

Chris contacted me looking to get the ball rolling with Ring Finders because he had lost his wedding band in a park.  The situation he described is all too common: he had taken his ring off and put it on a carabiner for safe keeping before playing sports.  He remembered putting it on the carabiner along with a water bottle and he remembered having this assembly in tact when he left the field, but when he was back in the car and getting ready to leave he realized his ring was missing.  So Chris reasoned that it was either in the car or on the field, and he decided to make one more search of his car before bringing me in for some assistance after his search proved unsuccessful.  I was pretty confident we would find his ring based on Chris’ prior search and the clarity with which he described what happened.

He and his wife met me at the park this morning and reiterated what he did and the path he took to and from the car.  He also revealed to me that he and some friends had previously searched the area both by eye and with a metal detector.  We agreed to thoroughly search the beginning and end points of his path and to search the path he took if we didn’t find anything at the endpoints.  Our search was starting to get a little longer than expected, to the point where I felt it was a good idea to change to a smaller coil with better target separation and also use slightly different settings on my metal detector that audibly accentuated surface targets.  I was pulling up a fair amount of trash, and at one point even a junk stainless ring!

During my slow grid back to the start point, on the path that Chris took, I hit a very solid signal that was clearly right on the surface.  And sure enough it was sitting right at the base of the grass, just hidden in the green and gold background.  Chris and his wife were in disbelief when I exclaimed, “I got it dude!”, as it seemed their hope was waning due to the prolonged search they had been through.  We were all thrilled that our thorough search proved fruitful in the end.

Lost wedding ring found in front yard…Kissimmee, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:


If you have lost something important to you, like a ring, keys, phone, etc…call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk. I can answer any questions you may have about my recovery service and am available day or night! Call or text ASAP!

A couple of years ago Collin’s wife was in their front yard getting ready to pull some weeds and decided to remove her engagement and wedding ring and put them in a small pocket in her jacket to keep them safe. She spent maybe 25 minutes doing yard work and as she was finishing up she reached into her pocket and could only find her engagement ring. That led to another 25 minutes of searching high and low but her lost wedding ring was nowhere to be found.

Fast forward two years and the nagging thought of her lost wedding ring still out there somewhere in her front yard lead them to research “How to find a ring in the grass”! They found my name and number on theringfinders.com website and after hearing their story I showed up the next day to do a search. Collin showed me the small front yard and mentioned that his wife had started pulling weeds in a small mulched area so that is where I opted to start swinging my Deus 2 metal detector. I swung my coil two times and instantly got a signal that indicated a low tone and shallow as well. I kicked some of the mulch aside and low and behold there was a small gold ring just waiting to be recovered and both Collin and I could not believe it had happened so fast! How I thank God for helping me find their lost wedding ring and for being a blessing to them in their time of need.

How can I help you? Call or text me anytime and let’s talk…321-363-6029!

Tutukaka Ring, “Lost gardening” – Found under the house.

  • from Paihia (New Zealand)
Contact:

Wayne called me, hoping I would be able to find his lost 50yr old gold wedding ring at Tutukaka.
I headed down from the Bay of Islands straight after work, and was met by an extremely anxious Wayne thanking me for my rapid response.

He took me around the garden, retracing his steps that day – Watering, weeding, clearing a drain, and digging wet grass out from under a lawn mower.

There were several likely spots, cleaning out the drainage ditch was top of the list though.
Wayne had been piling the vegetation on the sides of the drain, and I systematically worked through both the drain and the piles as I worked my way along.

I reached the end of the drain with no luck, and was about to head over to start in the garden, when Wayne remembered he had also been under the house to retrieve some items.

On hands and knees, hands slipping through the loose sand?  This was now the next likely spot.

I crawled under, following the fresh tracks Wayne had left as he made his way deeper under the house – undisturbed since he was last under here.
Having cleared his entry path, I moved across to cover his exit route.
Off to the side was a single isolated depression in the sand, where a hand had been outstretched – possibly as he turned around to shuffle his way out.
I swung the coil out over it, and a solid double tone of a very shallow target rang out.

My hand closed on the imprint and as the dry sand filtered out through my fingers, I felt the unmistakable shape of a wedding ring.

Wayne was rapt.
