Wedding Ring Lost While Sledding – Recovered!

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

We don’t get much snow here in this part of NC, so two small snows in the span of about 10 days was pretty unusual. Even more unusual was the call I got from Alex, who had lost his wedding ring while sledding! Alex’s neighborhood has some hills, but unfortunately his property isn’t situated the right way, so he was sledding on a neighbor’s property. After one of the sledding runs, his hands were wet and when he shook the water off, the ring made a quick exit onto the hillside. Alex had secured a metal detector to try and find the ring himself, but had not had any luck; at that point, he contacted me. To his credit, he made a note of several nearby visible features, so when he took me to the area where he thought the ring would/should be, I had a solid starting point based on his landmarks.

The grass was similar to what you’d find on a golf course fairway, and being wintertime, it was all brown. It only took 15 minutes or so to locate the ring, which was — surprisingly! — very close to where he thought it had come off. The ring had fallen through the dead layer of grass and was sitting flat on the soil, maybe 3 inches below the top of the grass. Those of us on TheRingfinders joke that “it’s never where they think it is”, so it was refreshing to find Alex’s lost ring quickly and easily. The sooner I can get the lost item back to the owner, the better. Another happy ending!

Lost Security Keys Rosslyn Neighbourhood, Edmonton Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Received a Call yesterday afternoon from Keynan in regards to his girlfriend she lost her security keys in a snow covered parking lot, after asking Keynan my usual questions I agreed to meet up with his girlfriend at the parking lot.

I meet Kelsey at the parking lot she explained to me that she was walking out of the building toward her vehicle and when she got to her vehicle she reslized that her security keys had fallen off her lanyard somewhere in the parking lot, she and her friends spent a couple of hrs looking for them with no luck.

While I was talking to Keysey next to her vehicle from the corner of my eye I spotted just the tip of the a key protruding from the snow! Kelsey was relieved to have the keys back in her possession.

That was my quickest search ever I did not have to take my detector out of my vehical.

Keys Found in Snowbank in Ada, MI.

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:
Got a call from Samatha that she lost her car key and a mailbox key.  She was walking from her garage to her apartment when she thinks she dropped the keys.  The trouble was that it was snowing at that time and the plow driver came thru shortly after and plowed the entire parking lot.  I arrived last night at 9PM to search for the keys, searching the inside of her car and the route she took back to her apartment-no luck.  I told her I would be back tomorrow to do a more thorough search.  Arrived today around 1:00PM, much warmer.  The key tech arrived at about the same time to make her a new car key and Samatha and Buddy(her dog) came out to meet us.  I told her I was going to search the big snow pile first and she went on to talk to the key tech.  I got to the second side of the snow pile and got a screaming hit on the metal detector.  Dug down about a foot in the snow and there were her keys.  Somebody had to be watching down on us.
Walked over to her holding the keys in the air and she almost fainted.  Now she only needed a spare key from the key guy.

Matt and his family were attending the New Year’s Day Dolphin Dip on Surf City beach. This event draws a large crowd to take a polar plunge into the cold Atlantic Ocean’s water. Matt removed necklace and stored it out of sight, and when it was time to leave, he left the area without his necklace. He returned a short time afterward to find dredge pipes laying where his family had their belongings.
This necklace holds great meaning for Matt. His grandfather purchased identical necklaces for the grandsons during a trip to Norway when Matt was just a boy. Being a boy, he lost his necklace shortly afterward. After Matt’s brother passed away, Matt began wearing his brother’s necklace in remembrance of both his brother grandfather.
Matt reached out to Crystal Coast Ring. dredge pipes had been moved, and a search began shortly. Though he wasn’t present, Matt provided detailed information and a of where to search. It wasn’t long before Matt’s valuable necklace was found.

  • from Moose Jaw (Saskatchewan, Canada)
Contact:

Karl called and said he lost his gold wedding ring in the snow when he was brushing the show off his hands on the boulevard in front of his house. He had searched the area with no luck and his wife found my name on the Ring Finders.

I made the trek 4 hours to Brandon, Manitoba, on my day off it was -24 degrees Celsius. Searching the boulevard, it was covered in 11 inches of frozen snow. After two false readings near what should be gold on the metal detector the ring was found in the ice on the road in the curb area.

Thank you, Karl, on the opportunity to find your gold wedding ring.

Recovered 10 year anniversary wedding ring at Northstar- Lake Tahoe.

  • from Reno (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by the couple several days after it was lost in the snow  while having a snowball fight. They searched themselves before their stay had ended and thought the ring was lost for good.  Several days later they heard about TheRingFinders website and contacted me. I made the drive to the location they had lost it and after 30 minutes of a grid search I found it!  It’s tough celebrating by yourself but it sure felt good to make the call telling them I found it. She didn’t want to take the risk having me mail it back to her and they made the drive up to meet me today. It’s always an awesome giving it back to them and seeing their expressions.

Lost gold ring while planting flowers in Lake Alfred, Florida…found with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Mike’s Emergency Metal Detecting Service…just for you if you lost a ring or something precious to you.  Don’t wait until tomorrow…call or text me now at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Mr Chester was planting some new plants in his front yard and using a post hole digger and other tools he managed to get the holes dug deep enough to hold some new soil and using his hands he began setting the first plant.  Only minutes into the planting process he felt his large gold ring slip off of his finger and he immediately picked it up, brushed it off and put it back on his finger…thinking that now he would be more careful.  Ten minutes later Mr Chester again noticed that his beautiful gold and diamond ring was not on his finger and this time he figured it had to be deep down in one of those holes he had just dug and filled.  Not wanting to totally pull up the plants and sift all the dirt, he got to thinking about other ways to locate his lost ring and that thought led him to search online for a “Ring Finder” and up popped theringfinders.com and one of my successful ring search and recovery stories.  He called me and we made plans to meet up at his place the following Saturday.  Mr Chester was 99% positive that he lost it in the dirt while planting so that is where I concentrated my efforts.  I recovered two small items of aluminum and the 3rd signal was strong and repeatable which proved to be Mr Chester’s lost gold ring!  It truly was an honor and privilege to meet Mr Chester and to be able to help him find what he thought he would never see again.

Have you lost something and need my help?  Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk!

Mike McInroe…super thankful to be a member of TRFs!

LOST WEDDING BAND IN NEW IBERIA, LA.-FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Lani’s husband lost his black tungsten wedding band in a field near their home. They searched with and without a metal detector for a week. I got the call, and once I had an understanding of the job, made the 45-minute trip to the location. I met with Lani to go over the area where the ring was lost. I laid out a search area of about 1000 square feet. The first half was dry, the second had 1″ of water with the grass being about 4 inches tall. The whole area was trash-free, so all sounds were taken seriously.  About halfway thru the second half (the wet one) I got a strong 48 reading on my Garrett. Had to move grass and poke around with the pin-pointer for the ring.  Lani was very happy and so was I. Thank you, Lani, for the generous reward.

Lost diamond ring found

ITS A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I got a call about a lost wedding ring from Kuuipo. She explained how the ring was lost and I asked her to draw me out a map to help narrow the search area. After gathering as much information as possible I was faced with a hunt that was either gonna be on a lawn close to the beach or on the sand. I gathered my family and headed down to the spot. After careful searching on the lawn to no avail I started my way  onto the beach. As I started my gridding pattern towards the ocean I picked up a few coins which made me very happy because I knew that no one else came to this beach and metal detected. after my first pass down the beach I started my second leg while overlapping and around midway through I hear a tone that would make anyone stop in their tracks. I dig in the sand gently being careful and inside the Xtreme scoop is what was lost and now found a beautiful diamond ring. I smile as I retrieve the ring while onlookers are in anticipation. I say loudly … she will be happy. The beach goers asked if I was looking for something and I replied not no more. I get to call her about the good news. I found her lost ring! Another successful find.
