18K gold ring recovered in Blanchard, Oklahoma! ?

  • from Norman (Oklahoma, United States)

I recently received a call from a gentleman in Blanchard, Oklahoma, who had lost an 18K gold ring. The challenge was that he wasn’t sure exactly where he had lost it. It could have been somewhere in his yard, inside his home, or even at work.

Rather than searching randomly, we decided to systematically eliminate one possibility at a time. Since the yard was something I could quickly search with a metal detector, we started there.

It turned out to be the right decision.

Within about two minutes of starting the search, the missing 18K gold ring was recovered.

Sometimes a successful recovery requires hours of searching and research. Other times, narrowing down the possibilities and starting in the right place makes all the difference.

Another lost ring back where it belongs.

Lost Car Keys Recovered in Chapel Hill

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Susan, a woman in Chapel Hill, called me and explained that she wanted my help in locating a set of car keys. I asked the basic questions – where, when, how, etc. and it unfolded like this: Her son drove to a friend’s house to help move some downed tree branches from where they fell, over to the woods on the other side of the adjacent field. For whatever reason, he set the keys to his car on the deck of the four-wheeler they were using to haul the branches. The keys fell off the four-wheeler at some point and mom had to bring over a spare set of keys to get the car home. Although glad that she had a spare set, she was hoping I could find the original set and avoid the cost of a replacement key fob. The grass was high and the surface of the ground wasn’t visible, so it wasn’t surprising that they had been unable to locate the keys just by walking through the field. I met Susan at the house and we walked to the field where they’d been working. The younger brother of the friend showed me where they had been working and it only took about 15 minutes of searching to find the key fob. Very glad to get it back to Susan for her car. Another happy ending!

Lost Item Recovered in Holly Springs

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I got a call from Bill, a nice gentleman in Holly Springs who had lost a hearing aid while collecting and moving brush and sticks. Bill’s house sits next to a pond and twice each day, the gnats come out to pester anyone in the backyard. Bill was working with gloves on, and in one of his “get-away-from-me-gnat” swipes with his gloved hand, he had inadvertently knocked the hearing aid out of his ear. It was a little later that Bill realized the hearing aid was gone. He had looked all over where he had been working and had swept the area with a magnet, hoping the hearing aid would stick to the magnet, all with no luck. We then made arrangements for me to come out and search. He had the remaining hearing aid that I was able to scan, but it gave only a very tiny, weak signal on my detector. (There’s just not enough metal in a tiny hearing aid to give much of a signal on the detector.) Anyway, Bill showed me where he had been working and we started looking – Bill with his magnet and me with my detector. After maybe 35 or 40 signals that turned out to be false alarms, I did find the tiny hearing aid. If it had been one of the hearing aids that has the big battery resting behind the ear, this would have been much easier. As you can see in the pictures, Bill’s was the type that fits entirely in the ear canal, giving me almost no metal to detect. After finding it, Bill and his wife explained that he had an upcoming appointment for an upgrade and had he arrived with only one hearing aid in hand, he would have gotten no trade-in credit on the new device. Glad it worked out for them – another happy ending!

Lost Sentimental Gold Earring at Sandy’s Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This earring hunt began when I got a voicemail from Bryann who was on a Birthday Vacation on Oahu and inquired about my services she had heard from a local friend.  When we connected she told me she had lost her gold earring on Sandy’s Beach in the dry sand.  She sent me a pic of the beach with a red line drawn on it of the route she had been on when she noticed the earring was gone.  Sandy’s is heavily detected and I let her know.  She let me know it was from her late husband so I knew I had to give it my best shot.  I was at work so I told Bryann I would grab my gear when I finished and go straight there to hunt.  When I arrived,  the beach was quite crowded and part of the search area was blocked with conservation tape as turtles had nested in the area.  I started the hunt along the rock wall near the parking lot and went as close to the conservation area that I could.  After the first pass I started back the next leg and immediately got a nice low tone center line on the Manticore video display.  I took one scoop and there was Bryann’s Sentimental Gold Earring in the scoop.  I texted her a pic and told her, “You were blessed”.  After a quick pick up at my home they were off to the airport.  Bryann sent me a pic from home wearing the earring with a Shaka and a Smile.  Aloha to Bryann!

Lost Ring in the Water? Ring Recovery Help in Southwest Florida

Losing a ring in the water can happen in seconds. You may be swimming, wading, playing in the surf, or simply cooling off when you suddenly realize your wedding ring, engagement ring, or other jewelry is gone.

At a Florida beach, finding it by hand can quickly become nearly impossible. Waves move the sand, visibility can be poor, and a ring can disappear beneath the bottom almost immediately.

Looking for a Metal Detector Rental Near Me?

Many people who lose a ring don’t know that professional ring recovery services exist. Their first thought is often to search for a metal detector rental near me, rent a metal detector in Bonita Springs, or Fort Myers metal detector rental.

As a member of The Ring Finders, I help people search for lost wedding rings, engagement rings, jewelry, and other valuables throughoutSouthwest Florida.

Lost – Men’s 14k gold wedding band, New Smyrna Beach – FOUND !!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Tuesday had started like so many Tuesdays do. My wife and I had settled into one of our favorite spots in DeLeon Springs when my phone buzzed with a text from Christian.

He had lost his wedding band on New Smyrna Beach.

I gave him a quick call. He sounded worried—almost desperate. He explained that he had lost his 14K gold wedding band the day before. He had placed it in the cup holder of his beach chair, but when they packed up to leave, the ring was gone. They searched for it but came up empty-handed.

I told Christian where I was and that I expected to be back in New Smyrna Beach by noon. Before heading out, I whispered a quick prayer, asking the Lord to protect the ring and keep it there until I could find it.

Once I returned to New Smyrna, I called Christian and told him I was on my way to the beach. When I arrived, he directed me to the area where they had been sitting.

I fired up my Minelab Manticore and began gridding the dry sand near the roadway. The heat was intense, with the bright sun beating down and radiating off the sand.

On my second pass, I got a promising signal.

I looked down, and there it was—a small, round circle barely protruding from the sand.

Could it really be?  I reached down and picked it up.  It was the ring!

I checked the inscription, and there was no doubt. I had found Christian’s wedding band.

I was incredibly grateful. The ring had been sitting there since the day before, and somehow no one had found it. I truly believe the Lord led me straight to it—and answered my prayer by getting it back to Christian and his wife Sarah, quickly.

Another ring saved. Another story of something thought to be lost forever, found.

Gold, Diamond and Ruby Ring Missing for 25+ years

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from Kathleen, she is selling her family home and remembered that her Grandfather lost a very important ring in the yard one day 25+ Years Ago.  She said she had a dream about the ring and that it was in the front yard on the left side of the house.  Knowing the home would sell soon she got on the Internet and found us on “The Ring Finders.com”.  We came out the next day when it was 103 degrees in Garland, Texas.  Kathleen told us the story so Ellen and I geared up to start the search.  I began on the front left side of the house (just like Kathleen had seen in her dream) and had not gotten 10ft into my search next to a metal flower bed edging and got a 49-51 signal on my Garrett AT Pro so naturally I began to dig.  I turned over my first 5 inch scoop of dirt and the ring popped out.   I could not believe it myself.  25+ years and it was only 3-4 inches down.

Kathleen and her partner were so excited, tears and hugs and lot’s of “I can’t believe it” along with big smiles…. Another Great Find for the Ring Finders!

 

Wedding Ring Recovered in Clayton

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I got a text from Seth, telling me that he had just lost his wedding ring – that’s the usual part. The *UN*usual part is that he and his wife have been married almost two years and they’ve just now finally paid off the rings. Yikes! What a time to lose the ring! We made arrangements to get together at his house. It turns put that Seth had been trimming a holly bush and between getting stuck by the holly leaves and sweating heavily (95 degrees and >90% humidity), the ring had come off his finger and he hadn’t noticed. Seth and his wife had searched, but hadn’t been able to locate it, so they contacted me. After seeing the size of the bush, I decided to start at the bottom and work up, figuring that the ring had probably bounced its way down to the ground, but if it had snagged on the way down, I could always start working my way back up. The ring was indeed on the ground, but was covered by holly leaves and branches that had fallen during the trimming. Not a difficult recovery, but because of the extra motivation to get it back to Seth and his wife, a very meaningful recovery. Another happy ending!

Lost ring in yard while mowing…Found

  • from Johnson City (Tennessee, United States)

Received a call earlier this week from a gentleman. He was mowing his yard on a hot day and while trying to clean grass from his hand the ring went flying. He heard it bounce off of something but not sure what direction it went. He purchasing a metal detector but soon decided it would be best to have a ring finder come out. After searching his front yard and his neighbors front yard, I crossed the street and found it in the grass on the other side of the road. So glad to be a help to this family and return his ring.
