I got a call from Simon about his lost ring at the beach. He had given the ring to his girlfriend to hold while he went swimming. When they were getting ready to leave, they were cleaning off their belongings, when the ring flew off his girlfriend’s finger, and was immediately lost in the sand. It was after dark when he called, but I reassured Simon that I would be able to search in the dark, and that we should do the search right away, so I left for the search.

I got to the beach around 9:30 PM, and was able to meet Simon who took me directly to the spot they had been earlier in the day. I could see the search marks in the sand, and knew we were in the right place. I began my grid going over where they had looked, but the ring was not there. Simon showed me another spot, so instead of just going to the next area, I worked my way over, and on that path I got a good signal in the head phones, dug and had this real nice gold and diamond ring in my scoop. I pulled it out and asked Simon if he recognized it. At that moment he was in disbelief that it had been found, and so quickly. He was so happy to have it back, and his girlfriend would also be relieved to have the responsibility of having lost it taken off of her. A great night for sure!

Lost keys and cell phone rescued from Bass Lake in Traverse City, Mi with a metal detector.

I received a call that Hugh lost his keys and cell phone in Bass lake. Hugh was anchoring his boat in waist deep water. When, I got to the location Hugh’s wife told me off the right side of the dock in waist deep water. The muck was about a foot deep in the area. The keys and phone disappeared in the muck as soon as they hit the bottom. I got the waders on and headed into the lake. The first target was an old ice shanty. I moved out a little further then found the keys. I found the phone right next to the keys. A nice easy call, I was in the water about 10 minutes.

Lost Wedding Ring Playing Volleyball at Manhattan Beach, CA. .. Recovered wIth Metal Detector

… Chris was playing beach volleyball at Manhatten Beach, CA. when he lost his Tungsten wedding ring. He didn’t feel it come off but he did know it was on before starting the game. Immediately after winning the game and before leaving the area around the volleyball court, he noticed his ring wasn’t on his finger. 

Chris was given my contact information by one of his neighbors. He said he would be able to meet me at the location. When I arrived, I told him this could be an easy recovery because he called me and I was there within a couple hours of the loss.  To most people it seems that this would be a simple search, but I have been surprised by how far a ring lost playing volleyball can end up. I try not to get overconfident that it’s going to be a fast recovery. 

Chris felt that it should be on the north side of the court. That’s where I started my grid search. He stayed with me as I found a few coins and metal trash. After finishing that side of the volleyball net, I could see Chris was beginning to lose hope. For some reason he had felt the ring had to be in that area. I have found rings lost while playing volleyball in the strangest places. Volleyball players are very active and there is major hand motions.

Well, after 30 minutes, I moved to the south side of the net. On the second pass near the net. “Boom”, a strong signal in my headphones which turned out to reveal the wedding ring in my sand scoop. Chris close  enough to me to hear the clanking of the heavy ring in my scoop. He knew we had found his ring. Big smile and a happy man to have his wedding ring back where it belongs.

Man’s Sterling Silver Bracelet Lost, Found and Returned on Ocean Isle Beach NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

About 11:20 a.m. on Wednesday, July 14th, I received a text from Sean saying in part, “Hi Jim, lost a sterling silver bracelet this morning at OIB (Ocean Isle Beach). Lost it just off public access at Monroe St.” I tried calling him and got an immediate text back saying “sorry, I am on a work call at the moment. I’m off around 1:30, but if you did want to come detect before then, my wife could meet you at the beach and show you where we were.” I responded back “Was it in the dry sand or water?” His response was, “Dry sand, I am pretty sure. I did sit on the edge of water with my daughter but I have a hard time believing it came out of pocket. I took it off near chairs to go for a run, then forgot to put it back on when I returned. Lost when packing up I expect.” I text him back that I could be there in 40 minutes and he sent me his wife, Olivia’s, number for coordination purposes. I called Olivia and told her I’d be there in 40 minutes, grabbed my detector and was on my way.

When I arrived at the access, Olivia was waiting on me. She led me out to the exact spot where Sean suspected he lost his bracelet. I thought I’d have to work around the people already on the beach enjoying the day. Instead, there was a small clear area surrounded by groups of people on all 4 sides. I’m not sure if it was luck or prearranged by Olivia or Sean to keep the spot open, but it worked. I turned my machine on, took 3 or 4 steps and hit a nice target. Dug the target up, lightly shook out the sand and there was Sean’s bracelet in the bottom of the scoop. Olivia was kind enough to stand in for Sean and let me take a couple of pictures of her holding the bracelet. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to meet Sean, but it all ended with a happy return. On my way home I got a text from Sean saying, “Thanks! Delighted you found it. I had already contacted the seller and they didn’t have them anymore. Much appreciated!”

Sean/Olivia – Thank you for trusting me and The Ring Finders to help find your lost treasure. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a safe trip home to Maine.

Lost Platinum Wedding Ring, Found in Pratts, Virginia

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)

Call Ray at MyGoldFinder for lost items 571.258.7217

I received a call from Melissa, asking if I could assist with locating her husband’s platinum wedding ring. The ring had been lost since August 2020 and between then and now time Melissa and Jonathan had purchased a metal detector and attempted to located the ring themselves, with no luck unfortunately.

The story of how the ring was lost started with a stroll along a path on their property by Jonathan and his children, upon arriving at the top of a small hill his children were attacked by a swarm of bees, with one of them having bees all over his head. Jonathan was frantically swatting the bees away from his son(s) when the ring went flying off his finger, and to the best of his recollection it went towards the wooded tree line. Fortunately, his children were fine but the ring was lost….and so my recovery efforts begin…..

I coordinated with Melissa and we set a date for me to come out to conduct a search of the area Jonathan believed the ring had come off. There is a wooded section, only about 40 yards wide by probably another 40 yards deep, but it was thick with vines and brush, along with years of metal debris as the property used to be an older farm. I started my initial search around the top of the wooded section hoping the ring had not actually gone into the thicket of this mess, but after about 45 minutes I was headed straight into the woods. It was tough going, due to the vines and brush you really couldn’t use a larger coil to swing, nor did the 6″ coil work too well in the thicket areas. At times I was on my belly reaching in just to get the coil to do a moderate sweep of the thick areas. Long story short, I was drenched in sweat and dirt, no luck on the ring. After several hours and with the intense heat of the day I decided to call it for the day.

I decided ask Rob, a friend of mine from theRingFinders, Rob Ellis if he was interested in oing me on the hunt and he jumped at the chance to get his Equinox 800 out as well. Rob and I have worked together in the past and it was always a lot of fun teaming with him so decided a Navy (me) and Marine (Rob) team could absolutely get the job done!!

Rob and I met on Sunday at the customers property, talked to Jonathan again about the details of how the ring was lost. Rob and I came up with a quick search strategy before getting started and we broke out two grassy sections in front of the wood line. I used flags to line up my grid and Rob had his rope line on a tethered wheel to lay his grid out. We were almost side by side at this point..There is also a large fire pit area near where we were conducting our search so I was immediately pounded with lots of trash, slow picking… but part of the job.

Within less than an hour I hear Rob say “I found it!” I was like… what? He said “I found it!!”, I was so surprised and there ii was just feet from where I searched the day before. Rob asked that I make the post as we teamed on the second visit on this recovery effort.

We had Jonathan come over to see where his ring was located and he was slightly shocked at the location as he was so sure it went towards the woods. Jonathan and Melissa were overjoyed to have his ring back and couldn’t have been happier.

theRingFinders: ‘teamwork’ is a true recipe for successful recoveries.

 

God Bless

Lost gold wedding band Rolley lake Mission, BC…Found!

Chris Turner- Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP  Anytime   778-838-3463

 

It always starts off with a phone call or a text message in regards to a lost ring,  Strangely I was already recovering a ring only 4 miles from this young man’s location. The odds of that is incredible that I’d already be two hours from home doing a search and receiving another search request only minutes from where I was. After finding a beautiful custom-made diamond ring for a young couple I headed off to the next location to help this young man. He wasn’t there as he lost it days before, I asked him questions about the location and if he could send me Google earth and he did, I went out there and did my best but could not retrieve the ring.

 

I wasn’t too concerned that someone else may have beat me to it because of the location he had lost it in, it was deep deep water up to my chin, also muddy, branches and rocky location that a lot of people do not like searching because of the difficulty involved. We made arrangements to meet on the weekend 4 days later, I met this young man and he told me the story of his lost ring. He was only married three months so you can imagine how painful this was for him and his wife to of lost this beautiful gold ring.

 

I told him it would be a very difficult search due to the conditions and the depth but I was willing and up for the challenge. After only 30 minutes I was able to retrieve his ring out of this muddy mess and surprise him!

Lost Diamond Ring Hayward Lake, Mission, BC…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Chris Turner- Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP  Anytime   778-838-3463

 

I get a call from a young lady who told me that she had lost her ring at the Hayward lake in Mission, this is about a 2 hour drive from where I live. We discussed the search over the phone and the fact that it was lost where someone else could easily find it with a metal detector I knew I had to get there as soon as possible. We met the next morning and I heard the story of the ring and what it meant to them to get it back. I assess the search area, which I thought was going to be smaller and it turned out to be half of the swimming area. This could easily take a couple hours to grid search, but that’s OK I will do what I have to do to find that smile.

Because this lake/park does not allow Metal Detecting we had to get permission first, the permission was granted and I began my search in the areas they believe the ring could be in, after 20 minutes and no ring I asked a few more questions, one place stood out to me and I started searching that area and found her beautiful custom made diamond ring only minutes later… A total of 30 minutes to find her lost Smile!

NEW iPHONE 12 DROPPED OFF A DOCK PORT SEVERN, MUSKOKA LAKES, ONTARIO 🇨🇦

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)

Samantha and Friends were dockside enjoying a beautiful sunny cottage country day. She accidentally dropped her new iPhone 12 into the water between the two dock portions. They searched for hours but had trouble seeing the iPhone in the dark mucky waters below the dock.

I arrived late in the evening with my new lightweight battery operated hookah system BLU3 NEMO  and my trusty Minelab Excalibur2 underwater metal detector!

Took me but 5 seconds to see Samantha’s iPhone shinny side up! Check out the video!

One very happy young lady and another donation made to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation charity in which Samantha received a tax receipt!!

Paying-it-forward!! I love using my passion for metal detecting and five detecting to raise much needed funds to financially support breast cancer patients in need 💖
