LOST 14k WHITE GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN HICKORY, NC…… FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a text last night from a young man whose mom had lost her wedding rings while picking up leaves and tossing them over the fence. The son had found the wedding band by sifting through the leaves, but was unable to locate the engagement ring.

They had been on her finger for nearly 51 years!

I showed up at 8:00 am and the search began. After an hour we hadn’t found it yet, so we went inside to talk to his mom and get a better idea of where she was and what she had been doing prior to losing it. Turns out we were in the only area where she was tossing leaves. I suggested we go back and try again. After about another 30 mins, I decided to kick over the sifted leaves to move them more out of the way, away from the fence and I got a hit! The ring was under 2-3 feet of sifted leaves and I missed it the first 8 times because I didn’t move the leaves. It was found 3 feet from the wedding band near the fence line!

Needless to say it was a very Merry Christmas for the whole family as they both were back where they belong!

Gold Wedding Ring found in Machesney Park Illinois

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

I received a text message from Jeff asking if I could possibly help find his wife’s wedding ring that had been lost in their backyard about 4 months ago. Of course I agreed, we then set up a day and time that worked best for both of us to do a search. I met Jeff at his house a few days later after we both got off of work. He took me into the backyard and showed me the area that they believed that it was in. So I divided the yard in half, diagonally, and began a grid pattern from their backdoor to a large tree in the corner of the yard. On my 4th past I received a loud repeating 50 VDI signal that was “double tapping” on my DĒUS II. In my experiences, a ring on the surface or close to it will make this “double tapping” sound. I told Jeff, “This might be it right here.” I checked the snow covered grass with my pinpointer, which immediately sounded off! After a little digging with my fingers in the grass, roots, and dirt I could see a shiny circle peeking through! I said, “There it is!” And handed it to Jeff as he came walking over to me.

Another smile for the book!

Lost Koa Inlaid Zirconium Wedding Ring at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring fing began Thursday 12 December when I got a call from AJ from Eagle River, Alaska who lost his Zirconium, Koa Inlaid Wedding Band at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina while picking up his gear to run for cover under a tree while it started to rain.  Somewhere along that route his ring went missing.  He was leaving that day but gave me a map of the area.  I went Saturday morning and during the vast grid search AJ’s ring popped out of the dry sand in front of a tree near the grass.  It was dead center in the area he drew.  I texted him the good news and the ring finally arrived in Alaska today as you can see the smile on his face.  Aloha to AJ!

Lost Hearing Aid in Safety Harbor, Fl…Found and Returned!!!

Paula was walking down the outside stairs of her second floor condo in Safety Harbor when she fell down the last few steps and landed hard and face first on the sidewalk. She had not been using the handrail with her hands full and was badly injured including bruises and cuts to her face and a possible fractured collarbone. After she was helped back into her home, Paula realized that one of her hearing aids was missing as a result of the fall. After receiving medical treatment and returning to her home, Paula’s good friend Carol and a family member helped search for the hearing aid in the area where Paula landed but they were unable to find it. Carol found me through social media and contacted me the next day to see if I could help Paula find her hearing aid.

I arrived at Paula’s condo and realized that the search area was very small but did include under the stairs and several areas with shrubs including shrubs that bordered the complex’s pool fencing. I scanned Paula’s other hearing aid for a reading on my Minelab Equinox 900 detector so that I would know exactly what to look for and as I expected, the signal was very weak due to the very small amount of metal in the hearing aid. I also tested my hand held pinpointer because I quickly realized that I would have to do most of my search with it as there was very little room for my detector coil. I began my search on my hands and knees with the pinpointer in the area of shrubs near the fence because it was in the direction of Paula’s fall and also shook the branches of the shrubs just in case the hearing aid was hanging from one of them. I then searched the shrubs beside the stairs and the leafy area underneath the stairs by probing with the pinpointer but no luck. After about 15 or 20 minutes, I walked up the last several steps and looked down towards the sidewalk where Paula had landed when I noticed several red spots on the left side opposite from the area where I had searched. As it turns out, these were blood spots from Paula’s cuts where she fallen and then tried to get up. Carol and Paula believed the hearing aid to be on the right side of the steps since it was in Paula’s right ear. I began a visual and pinpointer search under the shrubs on the left side and after only about a minute I saw the hearing aid laying on the leaves. Paula was thrilled to have her relatively new hearing aid back in her ear! Paula requested that I not take a picture of her smiling face due to the cuts and bruises suffered in her fall so you have mine instead.

Paula and Carol, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find Paula’s hearing aid! It was a pleasure meeting you both!

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Paradise Cove Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

Paradise Cove 121924 MOV_0780

This ring find began when I got a voicemail from Liz saying that Aloha Security told her I might be able to locate her Mom’s Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring in shallow water at Paradise Cove Beach.  I told her I had a hunt in Waikiki I had to finish up and then I would head right over to Paradise Cove.  When I got to Paradise Cove Liz’s mom Debbie, from NYC, was waiting at the lagoon to show me the area to hunt.  She told me she was throwing a football with her grandchildren and when she reached to catch the football her engagement ring flew off into shallow water.  I walked out to the furtherest distance Debbie was and started a grid search back towards shore.  On about the third leg I got a nice 27-32 hit on the Manticore and on the second scoop there was Debbie’s amazing ring in the scoop.  She was so thankful and I think she was about to cry.  Many people had looked for her but it was buried.  Another vacation saved!  Aloha to Debbie and Family!

I received a call from Erik asking if I was available to help in finding a ring lost in the sand at the beach. I was, and let him know that I could be there soon. We arranged to meet there so he could show me where to look.

When I arrived I met Erik and his girlfriend Rowan, and they explained that Rowan had removed her jewelry in order to go out in the surf, but when getting ready put her jewelry back on, she found that one of her rings was missing. She told me how the ring had been in the family for numerous generations, and was given to her by her mother, so the sentimentality of the ring was strong. She said she was on vacation from Vermont, and was fearful the ring would be lost forever. I could see in the sand their search area, and began my search at the edge of it. I received a couple of signals, but the items were so small they fell through the scoop. Then right in the middle of their search area I received a strong signal, dug, and had Rowan’s ring. I called them over to let them know it was found, and she was very happy to know she would be able to go back home with her family treasure.

4 CT DIAMOND RING RECOVERED FROM CAR USING ENDOSCOPE RETURNED TO OWNER..PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL.

  • from Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida, United States)

Sometimes metal detectors can’t be used due to other metals in the vicinity. In such cases, we can opt for visual searches or utilize specialized tools like endoscopes for small, confined areas that aren’t visible to the naked eye.  In this particular case, an endoscope was necessary for the search. If you need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me. 

William called to inform me that while driving with his wife, she expressed concern about her wedding ring feeling loose. She effortlessly removed the ring and handed it to him. However, the situation took a turn for the worse when he somehow managed to drop the ring inside the car during the drive.  Despite his certainty that the ring was in the car, he spent three days searching without any success.

Desperate to find the ring, William took the car to a Mercedes dealership and left it there for an additional three days. He instructed the dealership to remove the seats to search for the ring. Unfortunately, the dealership was unable to locate the diamond ring.

Concerned that the dealership might have stolen the ring, I agreed to search for it using some specialized tools I had successfully used in the past. The search took over an hour, but we were able to locate the ring wedged behind a small metal bracket in the seat mechanism. As seen in the photo, the ring was in a challenging location.

We were all relieved that the ring was found and returned, and now back on his wife’s finger where it belonged.

Taylor contacted me about the loss of her husband’s wedding ring. She had been with him at a volleyball event the day before at the beach. He took the ring off to go in the water, and left it with the beach stuff. When they got ready to go Taylor picked everything up forgetting the ring was there, and the ring was gone in the sand. They looked for as long as they could without any luck. When she called she let me know she would not be able to meet me there, but was able to give me directions as to where to look. I went as soon as possible.

When I arrived at the beach, I was able by the map, and photos to figure where to begin my search. I also noticed that the beach cleaning machines had gone through, but not all the way into the area I was going to search. I began a tight grid going just into where the machines had been. Back and forth, back and forth, and not finding much. After about 20 minutes I began to find some tinfoil, and bottle caps, so I figured I had found the area where they had been the day before. Then right at the edge of the County clean zone I got a solid signal, dug, and found the ring. I sent Taylor a picture, and she confirmed it was her husband’s ring. We met later that day at a local Starbucks to make the return, and she was very happy to have it back.

Lost Silver Irish Claddagh Ring Saved from the Sand at SoCal Beach

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)


Call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man if you lose a ring in the sand.

… Rachael put her two rings in her shirt pocket and walked across the sand to set up her beach chair on the sand so she could watch the waves. Some time between where she parked her car and where her beach chair one of the two rings was lost. It had to be in the sand.

The missing ring was a silver Irish claddagh designed ring passed down to her by her grandmother. After discussing when she last saw the ring and what she might have done that caused the ring to fall out of the pocket. It could have been pulled out when she took her celphone from the same pocket.

I wasn’t looking foreword to gridding the 100 plus yards of sand back to the parking lot. Our best place to start would be where Rachael spent most of the time.  After a few minutes I got a great high tone from my metal detector with high numbers that are common for silver metal. Boom ! One quick dig with my xtreme sand scoop, I had her ring. She stood watching the search process and I was able to let her reach in the scoop to retrieve her very special ring. Happiness is having your ring returned after you thought it was lost forever. Rachael was a very happy lady to have her ring saved from the sand.

Lost Diamond Engagement Ring Recovered in House by Ring Finder… Alexandria, Virginia Owner Celebrates!

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Barbara’s yellow gold, 1.4 carat pear shaped diamond with accent round diamonds engagement ring which “Ring Hero” Brian Rudolph helped to recover in Alexandria, Virginia home.

Barbara smiles with great happiness and relief as she holds up her beautiful yellow gold, 1.4 carat pear shaped diamond with accent round diamonds engagement ring.

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Barbara contacted me during a time of great distress because she could not find her beloved yellow gold, 1.4 carat pear shaped diamond with accent round diamonds engagement ring. She searched all over her house for many days but all of her efforts led to no avail. She remembered that she did a particular errand but then returned to the home and she was worried that maybe her ring fell off in a public environment. After nearly a week of searching, Barbara found THE RING FINDERS’ website online and learned about my ring finding service. We immediately set up a time for me to come to her Alexandria, Virginia home to do a full investigation to see if I could recover her irreplaceable keepsake.

I visited Barbara’s house twice: once on a Friday and the other day was two days later on Sunday. When I first arrived, my client gave me a very long tour of all the places where she worked and relaxed around the house. She showed me the two cars that she drove, the location where she walked across the lawn and also where all of the garbage was thrown out. There was a lot of territory to cover.

On Day 1, I was focused on metal detecting the lawn, searching some places in the living room (which included probing the couch), and lastly, searching all of the bags of trash outside. It was dark outside by the time I completed the final bag of garbage and at that point there was no recovery made. I left the house after searching for about 3.5 hours.

On Day 2, I set my aim on probing both vehicles and searching more rooms in the house. Once I concluded that the sentimental “symbol of love” that Barbara so very much cherished for many decades was not lost in either car, I made my way into the house. My client suggested that I move next into the laundry room since there was plenty of clothing to be scanned and multiple hiding places that the ring could have made its way into. However, I continued my walk straight past the laundry room and went directly into the kitchen.

I had remembered that I had asked Barbara the other day if she had been in her kitchen sometime during the day of the disappearance of her ring. She couldn’t remember specifically what she did in that space in the house, but I was still curious to check one specific area before moving on to the next room.

I asked Mrs. Katz, “Do you have a cabinet or drawer where you stuff your reusable plastic grocery bags?” She immediately responded by pointing to a narrow cabinet near the refrigerator and said, “Yes, absolutely. I throw them all in here. Why do you ask?” I went on to share with my client that I recently successfully found a men’s wedding band in a large bag hanging from the pantry door handle where the gentleman had stuffed all of his reusable grocery bags into it. The ring had slipped off of his finger and landed in the pile of plastic! I wanted to check to see if Barbara’s ring might have ended up in a similar environment.

Handful by handful, my client gave me a fistful of grocery bags to metal detect with my pinpointer. After clearing one clump of plastic, I would repeat the procedure with a fresh group of bags. After detecting forty out of the hundred items stuffed in the narrow vertical cabinet, suddenly, my client let out a shriek of excitement and exclaimed, “Brian, we found it! The ring! It just fell to the bottom of the cabinet from within the middle of the pile! You did it! Your hunch was right! My ring was in here all along! I can’t believe it!”

Barbara and I rejoiced together and the two of us were completely in disbelief! Even though I find these consistencies in similar environments while trying to solve such head scratching mysteries, it never gets old and its always beyond amazing to be a part of these kind of recoveries!

My client’s spouse came out of the bedroom and he was completely blown away by my successful endeavors. He admitted to me just like many other unbelievers have in the past, “When I was told what you do to help people find their lost rings, I didn’t think for a minute that you would solve this one! Well Brian…you proved me wrong!”
