Lost Wedding Ring Recovered Woodbury Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Mike about his wife losing her wedding ring. Losing a ring can be very traumatic, though Mike stayed calm and started some research on how to find a missing ring. He came upon theringfinders.com and started reading about all the recoveries made. Mike gave me a call and asked if I could help. His wife was out watering the plants in the backyard and cleaning up after their dog. When she got back in the house and started to wash her hands, she noticed only her engagement ring was on her finger and the wedding band was missing. These cases are tough when the person has no clear knowledge of when the ring came off. It could have been while leaving work, in her car, in the house or in the yard. I ask many questions to try and narrow the search as much as possible. Both Mike and his wife were pretty sure the ring fell off in the backyard while doing chores. As I let everyone know up front, if the ring is in the yard, I’ll find it. If it’s not there, we can start looking other places such as in her car. I have found many rings hiding under the seats and in little crevices  in a car. They hide incredibly well. We all went to the back yard and she showed me exactly where she was watering and cleaning up. I started a grid search of the yard to cover every square inch. It only took 10 minutes or so and my Minelab Manticore gave me the beautiful gold tone. I knelt down with my pinpointer in the thick grass and there it was!!! It’s such a great feeling to find these lost valuables. Truly glad I could help out.

Take Care,

Darrin

Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

James contacted me and told me that his wife had lost her ring in the front yard. It was yellow gold with a solitaire. He said it had been lost for around two months and they had rented a metal detector with no luck. When I got there I asked all of the usual questions that I always do. She said they had been arguing and she threw the ring across the front yard, and where she had been standing. This is always a great help, because it gives me a better idea where to look. I started my grid search in the likely area, and had made two passes across the yard. About one forth of the way back across the yard on the third pass, I got a solid 19 on my Manticore. It was the ring, but after two months it was already completely covered and not visible. The actual search time was less that fifteen minutes.

This young lady text me on friday night saying she lost her ring that was a family heirloom. She said they where driving along the road and she went to throw her daughters icecream cone that she didnt want anymore out the window and when she did the ring came off too. So I met her there as soon as it got daylight and searched for about 2 hrs she knew where the icecream cone landed (off the road about 20 feet) but we couldnt find where the ring was. She definitely seen it fly off so I knew it had to be there somewhere. I finally went right beside the busy highway and was going along there when I seen a sparkle in the rock from the rising sun and there it was. She was super happy, I give praise to God cause we where really praying that we would find it.

Lost Gold Ring Found on the Beach in Monroe Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Where the Water Meets the Sand……

Was the partial voicemail left by Haida who texted next that she and a friend were picking up beach shells and driftwood when her ring fell off her finger. It was a very special ring, one that her sister had just presented to her for graduation. Getting too dark to search further, she went home and was hoping that her sister didn’t notice the ring missing. We met the next morning and Haida with her friend relocated where they remembered being. I noticed patterns on the sand where the tides gently rolled across the sand overnight. I began a grid search with my MXT metal detector at the water’s edge. Working in towards shore I sank into the sand almost a foot deep, it was very loose with rough edged granules. Getting a good signal, I started to sift thru the sand with my pin-pointer metal detector and felt it buzz next to my hand. Slowly bringing the scoop of sand up Haida’s ring revealed itself! Haida and her friend were up on solid ground with their backs turned so I just stood there holding the ring up. When they turned around, I never saw anyone run as fast to get their ring! Thinking it was lost forever Haida was extremely happy that it wasn’t, and now she’ll always stay in good standing with her sister through every high and low tide.

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered Minnesota Metal Detecting

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Pam was out in front of her condo doing a little fall clean up. She was removing the leaves from the shrubs when she felt her diamond wedding ring fall off her finger. She knew it couldn’t have gone far, though she, her husband and some neighbors searched for hours with no luck. She went on-line and searched for helped, coming across theringfinders.com and she gave me a call. We set up a time for the next day and I met her & her husband in front of her building. She showed me exactly what happened and I assured her, if her ring is in this 20′ X 20′ area, I’ll find it. Over 40 years of metal detecting, I think I’ve got this down to a science :O) –

It took about 1 minute and I received that beautiful gold tone through my Minelab Manticore headphones. I took out my pin-pointer and found her ring under some leaves and thick grass.

So glad I could reunite you with your wedding ring Pam. It was nice meeting and chatting with both of you and I will be checking out Perch lake. It is a non-motorized lake, though I can use my electric trolling motor…

Recovered engagement ring at Sebastion Inlet State Park

  • from Melbourne Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Mike Mcinro a fellow ring finder who had referred me to Melanie.  Mike was unable to do  the search and I was a lot closer. I texted Melanie and met her and her fiance the next day. I had to get  permission seeing that metal detecting is prohibited. The park ranger was happy to let me use my equipment.

While they were belly boarding the ring slipped off.  They had a pretty good idea of where it was and    stayed for a few hours keeping me company. There RV was in the park so they had to leave. . I widened my search area and found the ring 4.5 hours later. The whole time searching I was able to enjoy matinees and dolphins swimming in the inlet. I texted them and they turned around in there motor home and met me. We were all very happy it ended well.

Buried Silver Found!

  • from Washburn (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

While out detecting one day I received a call from a man who told me that he had buried some silver bars and coins in the 1980s and was now unable to find them. Of course I would help! After a nice lunch prepared by his wife, the search was on. The plastic bucket containing the cache was not to be found under the bunkhouse where he thought he buried it. After over an hour of digging, we decided to try another side of the building. Instantly a solid, repeatable signal was detected and the digging began. In no time, a plastic bag was discovered and silver coins spilled out. After removing the bag, a plastic bucket was revealed, dragged out, and opened. The lost treasure had been found! He already sold the treasure and put it into his retirement account. Truly a once in a lifetime experience ☺️

Lost in sand volleyball court-14k Pendant FOUND! Peoria, Arizona

  • from Peoria (Arizona, United States)
Contact:

I got a call late at night from a guy who had lost his very sentimental Crucifix while playing sand volleyball at a local park. (he felt his chain snag on the net and snap, and he looked down and saw the chain which he scooped up but could not find the pendant). They had gone back with a cheap chinese detector with no luck. He had to work so I met his girlfriend at the park the next day. I had done some testing at home on a small crucifix of mine and chose my Gold Bug 2 for the search (I brought along a White’s Treasure Pro for just in case but never pulled it out). She showed me the spot she remembered him being at the time, but I ended up searching a roughly 15′ x 15′ area and found it about 10 diagonal feet on the other side of the net! Ironically, about 30 seconds before the recovery, his girlfriend was on the phone with him and said to me: he’s asking if you think you will find it and I told her that unless some lucky duck had happened along and found it sitting on the surface which was extremely unlikely that my machine would find it; and right exactly then, Bingo! He was still on the phone and jokingly told me that if it was not found he would have cried for a year haha. I was so happy for him!

White Gold and Diamond Pendant Recovered

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Recently while enjoying a wonderful warm afternoon in her backyard Melinda’s prized white gold with 3/4 carat diamond pendent went missing. Melinda was holding one of dogs when his paw got caught up in her necklace and pulled it away from her neck. She managed to catch her necklace, but the pendant had managed to escape her grasp and had disappeared into the grass. Melinda and her 80-year-old mother spent hours on their hands and knees searching for the pendant. She even went as far as borrowing a detector from a neighbor and tried to find her pendent but had no luck as she had no idea how to setup the machine to recover such a target.

She sent me a text about my ability to find her pendant; I happened to be in area and actually had my XP Deus with high-frequency coil with me. We exchanged a few texts and finally a phone call to finalize search details. I was pulling up to her house just over an hour from first contact from Melinda. She explained what had happened, where she was standing when the pendent went missing. The search areas was small but so is the pendent. I set up my machine and Melinda went inside to grab a sport drink for me. With the first swing of my machine a good signal rang out, I pulled back the grass the pendent revealed itself. When Melinda returned with the drink, I was holding her pendent out for her to see. I think she was in disbelief that I had found it so fast.
