WEDDING BAND LOST IN MURKY WATERS OF BACKYARD POND in PEFFERLAW, ONT 🇨🇦

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

I had a referral from another RING FINDER Anne for a lost wedding band in a pond in Pefferlaw, Ontario. Soon after, I received a call from Ron the ring owner!

I made arrangement to attend early Saturday morning. I brought along my trusty Minelab Excalibur2 underwater metal detector and my newly acquired DIVE BLU3 NEMO hookah system purchased last fall.

The search area was roughly 6’ to 10’ wide by zero to 20’ out from the dock. When Ron stated it was mucky, squishy bottom and black with zero viz… he WASN’T KIDDING!!

Check the video our of the recovery of this beautiful rose gold wedding band;

Ron being a former diver knew those conditions aren’t favorable nor wanted for anyone in the water! It’s very easy to lose ones bearings as you could see. I had to pop up a number of times to ensure I was heading back to the dock area.

I was thinking after my first down and back attempt, I would then switch to a Lazy “D” style grid pattern (1/2 moon) back and forth from dock outward!

Lucky on the way back to the dock and right under the dock ladder I heard the sweet gold tone on the Excalibur2!! I popped out with the wedding band much to the surprise and delight of Ron and Christopher!!

It was a pleasure to meet both these guys and a big thank you for the generous donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation in which they received a tax receipt!! PAYING-IT-FORWARD!!

Lost Gold Ring Found In Flint Michigan

Return To Sender……

…..Got a call from Terry, a postman who said his ring fell off somewhere on his route. I told him I was certified, insured and offered special handling along with same day deliver of the lost item. Sensing the priority, I airmailed myself to the ZIP code in question. Arriving at the curbside I turned on my MXT metal detector and began tracking the lost item. Scanning his mail bag and cart revealed nothing. Developing a sort plan, we decided to begin at an address block and start the clock. Scanning the curb strips and grass areas covered quite a few homes. Nearing the end of the route the tracking number came in on the call window of my tracker and revealed a match. Reaching down in the grass revealed Terry’s lost ring! With delivery confirmation confirmed, Terry was thrilled with the handback service and that a change of address wasn’t needed. A picture for the post card followed.

Lost Ring Found in Calgary. Making it to 50 years

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

On  a Sunday afternoon, Punam and her mom go for a walk. Why is it special?  It was her mom’s first time out in over a year due to Covid. Not long after starting, her mom noticed her ring missing. That started a 2 hour unsuccessful hunt. With no luck, they found me online.  I talked with her husband for a while and it was suggested that we wait until Monday. I was a little pushy and said, “Time is our enemy”.  With lost items, that is very true. So we agreed to do it same day, especially since I told him that there was no obligation if we didn’t find it. With a little time and good information…….we were able to find it.Watch the video for her priceless reaction and an emotional response.

Beautiful 1 carat diamond ring returned!

  • from Virginia Beach (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

This beach was private and I asked to owner to check on getting me permission to detect. She was able to obtain permission and off we went. This was in some pretty soft sand and it had been a couple days. After searching for an hour I was about to give up and as I was coming out of the deeper water I got a very scratchy light hit but it was in the proper range for the ring. It was basically my LAST target and BAM! I was very happy to be able to return this beautiful 1 carat diamond ring!

Grid and Search!

  • from Virginia Beach (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

When I get a call about a lost ring I have the owner mark the closest spot to where they think it was lost and then I draw a box around the area and start griding it off. In this case it only took about 5 minutes! Another smile to add to the book!

Lost ring in Acton Maine found

  • from Bremerton (Washington, United States)
Contact:

I quickly responded to a text from Liane  who found my name in the ring finders directory. Liane and her husband were splashing around in waist deep water when they realized his platinum ring was missing. I showed up a few hours later and we took a boat ride to the sand bar where the ring went missing. I set out some florescent markers and started my grid search and after a couple hours I got that solid 15 signal and pulled up the missing ring. A gorgeous day to be in the water

Grandmother’s ring found

  • from Caroline (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Dwayne contacted me, saying his daughter lost her ring, the day before,   in a playground park in Red Deer Ab.  He told me his daughter had put her ring in her pocket for safe keeping, along with her keys, and the ring must have slipped out when she took her keys out.  He told me him and his wife had searched for hours with a cheap metal detector, with no luck. He also said the grass was quite long and hasn’t been mowed for awhile.  Then he told me this ring was his daughter’s grandmother’s ring and they recently had some work done on it. The ring had lots of sentimental value.  I told Dwayne I would be there after work, after 6p.m.  My son was done teaching school for the day, I asked him to join me.  He has a lot of experience with the pin pointer.  On the 1 hour drive to Red Deer we chatted about the upcoming search, neither one of us were fully optimistic about it.  We thought this could be a needle in a haystack.  Soon we met Dwayne’s wife and daughter at the playground.  The young lady explained were she was and which way she was walking, when she pulled her keys out of her pocket.  I started working a pattern and nothing really for signals.  About 30 minutes of searching I got the tone I was looking for.  My son checking with pin finder, and pulling away the long grass, there the ring was.  The story on the young lady’s grandmother’s ring can continue.

Lost Ring in Gainesville VA – Found! (June 2021)

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Two days ago, Lee contacted me after finding the RingFinders on the internet while researching ways to find his lost ring. It all began earlier that day (on his anniversary actually), while he was tending to some plants on his back deck, Lee tossed a handful of debris over the railing and into the woods… an his wedding ring flew off his hand during the process. He, his wife, and his neighbors spent hours searching the yard and woods but couldn’t find it; that’s when he turned to the internet.  He was hoping to find a quick tutorial on which metal detector to buy and how to quickly learn to use it; he discovered it was not that simple as there are various machines and it takes a while to learn what the tones and numbers are actually saying. But he did learn how easy it was to contact a RingFinder, so he sent me a text with some details and we set an appointment for the next day. Once I arrived, Lee walked me through where he was standing, how he threw, and where the plant debris landed. It wasn’t long until I heard the magical tone, pushed some grass to the side, and saw the shine of his ring.

Happy Anniversary Lee, glad to see your ring back on your finger!

Diamond and Gold Solitaire Engagement Ring Lost in the Sand at Santa Monica Beach…Found and Joyfully Returned.

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

Steve’s Emergency Metal Detecting Service For You if you lost a ring or something precious to you. Please don’t wait until tomorrow, time will work against you, please CALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, CALL NOW! 310-953-5268

I received a call from Molly while on my way home from picking up dinner for my wife and I. Molly had lost her gold solitaire engagement ring in the sand, and was hoping I could find it for her. I asked if she could wait at the spot a little while so I could eat my meal, and I would leave immediately after, and she agreed that would be fine. I then proceeded to wolf down my meal in order to get on the road, because I know how disheartening it is for someone to lose something very precious to them, and think it might be lost forever. When lost, the story of the ring stops, and we help to continue the story. I also know that we as Ring Finders offer hope to people. I let Molly know when I was on my way.

When I got to the beach Molly and I found each other. She proceeded to show me what had happened. She also had wisely marked the spot because the tide was coming in, and washing over the area making it all look the same. I began, and received a good signal believing I found the ring, but only brought up a piece of aluminum. I continued the search, and then received another good signal, dug, and had Molly’s ring in the scoop. I pulled it out, and gave it to her, and which point she became very emotional. I could see how much that token of love meant to her. I was so happy to restore her joy!

Three Gold Pendants Lost in the Sand of Marina Del Rey Beach…Found and Joyfully Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

Steve’s Emergency Metal Detecting Service For You if you lost a ring or something precious to you. Please don’t wait until tomorrow, time will work against you, please CALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, CALL NOW! 310-953-5268

I received a call from Guy right after dinner. I had been relaxing with my wife watching a little television when he called. He told me about his loss of some pendants that had great sentimental value to him, he had on a chain around his neck. His dog was playing when she jumped on him, and accidentally broke the chain, and everything went flying into the sand. He was able to find his chain, but not the pendants. He told me he marked the spot which was a good thing. I let him know that I would come immediately to do the search which surprised him, but I know from years of experience, that the sooner the search is made the better the chance of a recovery, as there are too many variables that come into play as time goes on to diminish the possibility of finding the lost item.

When I got to the beach Guy was waiting for me, and we walked out in the darkness to do the search. The main concern was finding the item Guy used to mark the area of the loss. We both had out lights on searching. I was a little worried because the super high tide might have washed his marker away. Finally close to 10:00 PM Guy found it. It was a 2×4 that he had forced into the sand, and although the water came up it did not move. I began my search on one side of the marker where Guy thought the items fell with no signals. I then began on the other side, and received a signal which I dug, and poured out the sand. I checked again, picking up a load of sand. After I shook it out, in my scoop was a gold ring which Guy identified as his mother’s. I ran my coil over the area again getting another signal, scooped and had his gold cross. One more time and I was able to give him his daughter’s name in gold. A successful search with a very happy, and relieved Guy!

Guy sent the following testimonial:

Hi,

My name is Guyen (Guy) and I was taking my daughters pet Luna for a walk on the Marina del Rey beach on Monday the 21st 2021. Luna loves to play with rocks on the beach by digging holes and burying the rocks. That day was like any other day but suddenly Luna wanted to get my attention and lunged towards me. That broke the necklace. I had a cross, my mothers wedding band that was gifted to me and my daughters name in 22ct gold in Sinhalese. I found the necklace but the other three items just vanished. This was at 5.50pm. Luna and I was looking for the lost items until 7.30pm and decided to call it a night. Before leaving, we marked the spot to come back the next day to look for the three lost items.
 
I came home and searched online for metal detector rentals to rent one for the next day and I was unable to find one. Then I randomly stumbled upon the website of Mr. Steve Smith “The Ring Finders”. I immediately called the number and Mr. Smith answered the phone. I explained my situation and he said that he would like to come out that night itself as the beach cleanup tractor can shift the items or the tide can wash the missing items Mr. Smith said that he will meet me in 30-45 minutes.
 
I explained this to my daughter who was skeptical and was concerned for my safety as I was going to meet this person that I connected online to look for the three missing pieces of jewelry. She even took my phone and shared my location with her incase this person who volunteered to help me was to harm me.
 
Mr. Smith met me at the Marina del Rey beach and we walked towards the location where the jewelry vanished. It was about 9.50pm. I directed Mr. Smith to the location and within a few minutes he found the Cross, my mothers wedding band and my daughters name in 22ct gold pendent. It was unbelievable to say the least. I asked Mr. Smith how much it would be for his services and he said that he would only take a donation. He did ask if it was okay for him to take a picture of me holding the three items that was found. Naturally I agreed as it was the least that I could do. 
 
My faith in humanity was renewed that day. Good people who genuinely want to help people do exist. For anyone who goes to the beach, I highly recommend that you store the number of Mr. Steve Smith “The Ring Finders” in your phone. You never know when you might need his help. It’s as good as having AAA on the beach.
 
Thank you Mr. Steve Smith “The Ring Finders” from the bottom of my heart.
Guy from Marina del Rey
