Ring Found on July 4th in Volleyball Court in Grand Rapids, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)

After getting home from another ring find I get a notice from my friend Gregg Larabel that there is another ring lost and they need help in finding it right now.   I called the number but it went right thru to voice mail so I just showed up at the volleyball court.   A group of people were having lunch nearby and I asked them if somebody had lost a ring in the volleyball court-their reply was yes but they did not know who it was.   I just grabbed my equipment and started to search for the ring.   Just got started and Allen and his wife show up, they had been sitting in a group outside their apartment and saw me start the search.   The ring that was lost was Allen’s wedding ring.   Allen showed me what he was doing when his ring flew off his hand and the direction he thinks it went.   I started my grid of that area and after finding 2 pennies the third target was his ring.   Allen gave me a big hug and we just saved another marriage.

Wedding Set recovered at Sea Girt Beach NJ

Got a message from Michael asking for help in locating his wife’s Loree wedding set. I called as soon as I got the message and told him i’d be there in 20 minutes if he’d wait, he agreed and I met them at the beach. While out enjoying the 4th of July on the beach with his family, Loree took off her rings and put them in the side pocket of her beach bag so she could take her son down to the water to swim. During the day the bag got knocked over and the rings fell out without her knowing. Leaving the beach she remembered her rings and they were gone. She was devastated. They took me to where they were sitting and I found 1 of them right away but couldn’t find the other in the same area. I searched some more and about 5 feet from the first one I found the other. She couldn’t stop crying for joy when she got her rings back on her hand where they belonged. A great Happy Ending.

Ring Found At South Haven, Michigan on July 4th

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)

John called me last night and said he lost his platinum wedding band in about thigh deep water just south of the South Beach. He and his wife and kids are vacationing from California with friends and family for a couple of weeks. Larabel was busy so Tom Cleary agreed to meet me there this morning to find this ring. After about 2 hours of searching I was tired out and turned the detector over to John. Gave him a 2 minute instruction on how to handle the detector and he was off and running. After about an hour John calls me over and says he has a good reading on the detector that I had told him about. I helped him dig the target and there was his ring. We had been searching in too deep of water and his ring was only in water below the knees. John saved his own vacation memories with this find. John and Vanessa toasting the new found ring.

Lost wedding band, Found wedding band under floating waterpark!

  • from Key West (Florida, United States)

Gotta call from Rachel who is a local here in Key West.

She and her friends were having a blast jumping in and out of the water when she climbed back up onto the float she noticed right away that her solder 2 ring platinum band fell off.

After speaking to Rachel and getting the details. The ring was lost in 10’ of water. Not easy to move around under a Waterpark with my battery powered Blu3 nomad hookah system. So I decided to rent some tanks/gear to be able to freely swim and hunt under the float.
Because this float is owned by Furry water adventures . We had permission to go when they closed in the afternoon.  So I took my boat to the floating park. Got my gear on and went in the water.
As I’m underwater making my way over to the area she thought it was lost at. I Swung my detector back and forth picking up a target or two. As I get under the area I notice to my left the ring sitting on the sand . I knew right away it was her ring because it was lost the day before and it was soldered together sitting right on top of sand.  Right where she said she thought it had came off at.
It’s always an amazing feeling to see how grateful and appreciative the people get when they see their lost keepsakes that they thought was lost forever back in their hands.

Wedding Ring Lost in Springville, IA…Found

Cuyler and Eden live out of state, but they are in Iowa visiting family for the holiday weekend.  It’s been pretty hot in Iowa lately, and a friendly water balloon fight began among family members to help ease the summer heat.  However, sometime during the family fun, Eden lost her diamond wedding ring.  Her hands had gotten wet so she shook the water off of them, and then she soon realized that her ring was missing.  Today, July 4th, I received a call on her husband, Cuyler.  Cuyler told me the story and asked if I would be able to look for his wife’s ring on the holiday.  I told Cuyler that I would drive up to Springville and find Eden’s ring.

I arrived at the rural family homestead and met with Cuyler and Eden.  I was shown the approximate area where the ring was believed to have been lost.  Cuyler had marked out the area for me with landscape flags.  The family had performed a visual search, but with the recent rainfall the grass had begun to grow again, and I was certain the ring would be found in the taller grass.

I got my equipment together and began my standard grid pattern search.  After about 30-45 minutes of searching, I got a nice solid tone on my Equinox 800.  I pinpointed the location and used my Garrett carrot to zero me in on the object in the grass.  I spread the grass blades apart and saw a nice shiny diamond ring facing skyward with the stone sparkling like fireworks.  I retrieved the ring and reunited it with Eden and her expression of gratitude will not be soon forgotten.

Wedding band recovered in Sea Girt NJ

Got a message from Leah asking for help in locating a friends wedding band at Sea Girt beach. I told her to get me as much information about it and i’ll head right down. While driving to the beach I got a call from Inger the woman who lost the ring, she is visiting from Norway. She was able to give me a pretty good idea as to where to look for it. It seems while enjoying the day at the beach she put her jewelry in the cup holder on her beach chair. When it was time to leave she started putting it back on and started to gather stuff up and didn’t get the chance to put her ring back on yet. Not knowing this her son went and folded up the chair and the ring went flying into the sand. Everyone started to look for it but didn’t have any luck. I got to the beach and she told me about where to look and to look for the holes they dug and the dig marks looking for it. Sure enough I saw where they were sitting and digging and after about 10 minutes I had her ring in the scoop. I called her to tell her the good news and made arrangements to meet up with her the next day. A happy ending for all.

Contact:

Michael contacted me regarding his wifes engagement ring that had been lost on the beach in Ocean City, Maryland. Michaels wife gave him her rings so that he could place them in their bag for safe keeping while enjoying their day at the beach. The engagement ring did not make it into the bag and was lost in the sand. I met Michael at the beach and he showed me the area that he and his family had been sitting on the beach at the time that the ring was lost. Michael sat down on the sand and watched as I began to search the beach with my metal detector for the lost ring. I was able to locate the lost ring after a few short minutes and as I recovered it from the sand, Michael said “And it was just that easy”. The ring was returned to Michael so that he could return it to his wife.
