Lost Ring, Found in Back Yard and Returned – Rochester, MA

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

October 20, 2023: While I was out doing yard work Leighton called with information on a ring search he was not able to help with. My wife was on her way to a luncheon, but took time to stop bye and tell me of the call. I finished up what I was doing, went home, and called Leighton. Information in hand I returned Mary’s call to get the specific information on the ring’s loss. It was the previous day that Reed’s wedding band was lost while playing football with his sons. I took down the pertinent information and I was on my way.

Reed had purchased a detector to search for the ring. His son had set up a well laid out grid over the possible area the ring had been lost in. But they were unsuccessful in locating the ring because of lack of familiarity with the detector and amount of non-precious metal in the yard. I was impressed when I saw what they had done, very professional. A point of last known and first realizing the loss were marked. Making my task of keeping a well defined grid search very easy.

Within several minutes I had verified several target signals as invalid. I made a few adjustments to my detector’s setting and bingo…a perfect signal. It was hard to see the ring as it had been stepped upon which embedded it into the soft soil. All that could be seen was one side of the ring.

I gave the ring to Mary and I listened to the problems encountered with the new metal detector while hunting for the ring. Well, I gave a few minutes of instructions on the detector’s use and I am sure there is a new young detectorist in the family. I could not have wished for a better hobby to pursue. I have met so many wonderful people and been there when they have needed a bit of help.

As this return was preceded with two members passing along information I just wanted to add my Thank You to both Leighton Harrington for passing the info to me and to Brian Rudolph in Maryland for helping Mary find the right “RingFinder” closer to her home and who would help her and her husband in the search for a lost Tantalum wedding band. This was my first Tantalum ring that I have found in my 41 years of detecting. Thanks to all, it has been my pleasure.

Keys Lost On Surf City,NC Beach Found So Owner Didn’t Need To Sleep In Car

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Andrew placed his keys on the beach and then placed his shoes over them to mark the spot while he walked the Surf City, NC shoreline.  Upon returning, he grabbed his shoes and headed to his car.  It was about 5:30pm when he realized his keys were now buried in an unmarked location.  Andrew notified me of the lost keys at 7:49 and the tide was coming in.  Unfortunately, I was busy planning a trip out of state and reached out to some trusted friends.  I explained to Andrew of the situation and he was planning to sleep in his car until morning when he could contact a locksmith to make a key to allow him to drive home to Fayetteville, NC.  One of my friends finally came through and headed to find Andrew’s keys.  At 10:15pm I received the above picture of Andrew holding his keys.  They were found in the surf and although wet,  the key fob still worked for him.

Gold Ring Lost in the Sand at Newport Beach, CA. Recovered by Stan the Metal Detector Man

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

 

 

 


If you need a metal detecting specialist call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man  … 949-500-2236

*** Sara is visiting Newport Beach from Idaho. Her friend was getting married and she wanted to see the ocean while being here in Southern California. The group of friends walked out to get a view of the Pacific Ocean, she stood on the upper sand watching the waves. She threw her hands in the air and her gold ring went flying. As the ring hit the sand it disappeared immediately. It happened so fast she couldn’t determine what direction it went. She knew for sure that was when the ring was lost.  Many times people think when they notice the ring missing that could be where it was lost.

Sara and her friends were able to optain a loaner metal detector. This was not going well so one of her friends found my information online after a onlooker suggested getting a metal detecting specialist. After receiving the call I met them on the beach a couple miles from where I live. The tide was coming in but we had plenty of time before it would be a problem.

Setting up my grid pattern to go over the area they had already searched, I planned to go outside the zone they had believed the ring had traveled. Rings seem to come off at the end of a throw. Sometimes they come off straight down to the feet of the person that threw a ball, brushed of sand off their clothes, rings lost playing volleyball can end up in the craziest of places. This ring was actually found ten feet outside of where everyone thought it would be..All those that searched for the ring were totally surprised where the ring ended up. Nothing surprises me anymore. Sara was very grateful, this was a ring that was a family heirloom, irreplaceable.

 

Call me anytime time if you have any questions about how this service work… Available to help you now.. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE

LOST GOLD RING IN APEX……. FOUND!!!!!!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:
Got a text from a buddy that his co-workers girlfriend lost a gold ring that she’s had since she was a girl. Her grandmother let her pick it out and she bought it for her.
She got home from work; it was almost dark, and she was throwing a dog toy around for her dog when she felt the ring slipping off as she threw the toy. She tried to stop in mid throwing motion.
I came out with the XP Deus II and covered the area. Took me about an hour and twenty mins to find because it was 5 inches from an aluminum pathway strip that went out to the fire pit.
After adjusting the DISC to eliminate the high tone. The gold ring was a 51/52!
Found and returned!

Another lost bracelet found in williamstown West Virginia

  • from Marietta (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from a co-worker asking me if I could help find his mother in law’s gold bracelet.

I met up with Cody at a local boat ramp and he explained that while she was holding a boat steady at the dock,  her bracelet snagged a tie down and broke, then fell into the River. The water level was high, and the water was rough and murky.

It has been a couple days since this had happened, so the water had calmed down and cleared up quit a bit. I had brought a probe with me to get an idea on how high the water would be on me at a couple of areas he thought was where it had fell into the river. While laying on the dock and using the probe I noticed a faint outline of what looked to be a broken bracelet almost completely covered by silt!! Using my probe and carefully trying not to muddy up the waters, I was able the retrieve her bracelet in almost 5’ of water. No metal detectors needed thankfully because the water is getting cold.

Lost gold and diamond bracelet found in Parkersburg

  • from Marietta (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

Prospective Clients,
Steve Wagner is the man!!! I had a bracelet pop off my wrist while digging out a skid steer. Piles of dirt everywhere and not a clue where or how deep it was buried. After searching for awhile I had pretty much given up hope. Somebody got me in contact with Steve and I couldn’t be happier. After he arrived, and was explained the situation and the location, he broke out his equipment and got to work. Within 15-20 minutes he had located the missing jewelry. What a relief!!! Steve was one of the nicest guys I’ve met and knew exactly what he was doing!!! Professional, courteous, on time. Would highly recommend to anyone that was in the same predicament as me. Very much appreciated.

Thanks a million,
Brent Bailey

Lost ring while running/swatting at bees in Marietta Ohio

  • from Marietta (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

While out cutting grass I met an unfriendly family of yellow jackets who had taken up residence in the ground near the side of my house. After receiving a few stings I removed myself from their part of the yard and in the process of escaping I lost my wedding band swatting them away.  The next day I searched the ground using a rake in hopes of stirring up the ring in the grass where I could see it, but gave up after 30 minutes of no luck.

On a long shot I searched online and found Steve’s name as someone who could possibly help find my ring.  After speaking with Steve he agreed to come out to the house a couple of days later to see if he could help increase my odds of finding the ring.  Steve set up his detector, went to work, and in 10 minutes from the time he arrived he had found it covered up in the grass.

I truly cannot thank him enough for finding my ring that I thought was gone forever. If you need similar help you are in good hands with Steve.

Lost wedding band chasing a hog near Beverly Ohio

  • from Marietta (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

I live on a 4 acre farm. My husband and I have a huge 500 pound hog. One sunny warm day in the beginning of June, I was out enjoying the pool with my son and nephew. I heard my husband yell for me so I hopped out of the pool to see what he wanted. Turns out the 500 pound hog had broke out of his field and was chasing my niece around the yard. Mind you, he thinks he’s a ginormous puppy dog and just wanted her attention. I went running down the hillside to help get him back into his field and felt my wedding band slide off of my finger. We all searched and searched for it and never could find it. My son is really great at finding things in the weeds but he couldn’t even find it. On July 22nd, I asked Steve Wagner to come out and see if he could find it with his metal detector. Within about 45 minutes of looking, Steve had recovered my ring! Apparently it had been through the ringer so to speak, ran over with the lawn mower, trampled on by kids and chickens. I thought I wouldn’t see it again. And the enjoyment Steve got out of finding it was definitely amazing. Thank you Steve for finding my wedding band and taking your time and energy to come look for it. You are very much appreciated ☺️ And I’d say if anyone loses anything they’d like to have recovered, Steve is the man for the job.

Lost wedding band 4 years ago near Malta Ohio

  • from Marietta (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

So I had seen a post from Cassie on Facebook about this guy who found her wedding ring when she lost it at the fairgrounds and I asked her about him.

I lost my wedding ring while my husband and I were out mowing. I had taken my rings off and sat them on our porch. My husband, not knowing, had laid his shirt over top of them and when he grabbed his shirt, my rings went flying. I only found my engagement ring and couldn’t find my wedding band. My husband and I got a medal detector and he searched our hillside with no luck so my husband bought me another wedding band. Steve had seen that I was interested and he contacted me. My husband and I thought it was a lost cause because it had been 4 years! He was here close to 5:00 and left close to 8. He looked 2 and a half hours in the rain and our nasty steep hill and finally found it, along with at least 20 bullet casings. Now I have three rings instead of two and it’s more sentimental because I have my original wedding band! 🔥 I can’t thank you enough Steve Wagner!! If you have some valuable jewelry that you’ve lost, please contact him. You won’t regret it!
