Noah called me on the phone after finding my information on THE RING FINDER’S website. He and his girlfriend were hanging out in his mother’s van that was inoperable in their driveway. Amira took off her rings and put them in one of the cup holders in the first section of the rear seats. When they came back to retrieve the rings, Noah picked up the three rings that were in the cup holder and one of them dropped out of his hands and landed somewhere below the seat.

Noah and Amira looked everywhere for the very special family heirloom ring that was handed down to Amira by her grandmother. It was made out of 14 karat yellow gold and various birthstones that represented several family members’ birth dates. The young lady was devastated. They searched and searched but neither one of them was able to find the missing keepsake.

After nearly two weeks of looking, Noah’s uncle went online and found THE RING FINDER’S website after Googling “lost ring in van”. That’s when my client contacted me and we set up a time a couple of days later for me to travel out to Noah’s residence and become Noah and Amira’s ring hero!

Once I arrived, I immediately took out my search gear and began looking for the lost family heirloom ring. Within 10 minutes or so, I was able to identify and recover Amira’s precious and irreplaceable gold ring! Noah did a FaceTime with Amira and she immediately broke down in tears of joy and with much gratitude in her heart! I was so happy to be able to help solve the mystery of this beautiful lost piece of jewelry that otherwise could have potentially gone missing forever! I am so proud to have become THE RING HERO for this very sweet couple!

Press Correspondent on Capitol Hill Loses Wedding Ring…Found by Preteen Ring Finder in Washington DC

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Brad was working on Capitol Hill in Washington DC when he lost his very special 14 karat yellow gold classic style wedding band. While taking a break out in the courtyard of one of the adjacent buildings, Brad wiped off some water that was on one of the outside seats and in the process, his priceless piece of jewelry went flying off of his finger and landed somewhere in the grass.

Brad looked everywhere for his ring and some other people also joined in the search but no one, including Brad, had any success in recovering the wedding band. He immediately looked online to see if there was a specialized service that might be able to assist Brad in recovering his lost ring. Thankfully, the gentleman came across the elite international directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS. That’s when I was contacted.

Later that same day, after spending several hours metal detecting with my grandchildren at a local park, the three of us drove to downtown Washington DC to help Brad find his lost ring. Reece and Kayden couldn’t wait to power up their detectors and start the search! Brad took us to the grass where he believed his ring had ended up and I, along with my grandkids, began metal detecting the area.

I am excited to share that within 5 minutes or so of beginning the “investigation”, my oldest grandson Reece picked up a very encouraging signal on his Garrett Ace 300 metal detector! He knelt down to check out the potential target with his pinpointer and sure enough…his eyes locked in on the awesome sight of the shiny yellow gold hiding below within the many blades of the healthy grass! Reece found the wedding band! He was beyond excited! And so were the rest of us!

Brad could not have been more impressed with our super “ring hero” team effort! He was going to be taking a flight back home the next morning to Alabama, so the timing of being able to acquire our help and recover the ring so fast and efficiently, had truly surpassed all expectations that Brad was carrying within him since making the initial phone call to me earlier in the day!

I am so proud of my grandchildren, Reece and Kayden, who diligently searched for our client’s beloved wedding band and in the end, they successfully returned the irreplaceable keepsake to its proper owner! It was a really fun afternoon!

Gifted Necklace From Grandfather Lost On A Beach In Saco, Maine. Found with a Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

I received a message from Gary, a friend and fellow detectorist. Gary told me about a lost necklace and it was just 3 1/2 miles from my home, that he had seen on a Facebook post. Would I be willing to look for it? Of course, a lost necklace in my hometown is a given. I took the information and contacted Ashley, the originator of the Facebook post. Ashley told me the necklace belonged to her daughter, Kalleigh and Kalleigh was upset she lost it because the necklace was a gift from her Grandfather. Ashley described the events leading up to the necklace being lost on Bay View Beach, in Saco, Maine. I sent a photo of an aerial view of the beach and asked Ashley, if the areas I had marked, on the photo, were where she thinks the necklace was lost. Ashley replied yes but they had also been about another 100 feet, further south and she sent me a photo with an area marked off. In total, I was looking at an area of approximately 250-300 feet long, running parallel to the shore and about 30 feet deep, from the high tide mark to the dune grass. I then Told Ashley that I would go down to Bay View, 1st thing in the morning, when the sun came up.
I arrived at the Beach at 6:30am and admired the sun, which was just starting to rise. A beautiful scene, as always. I decided to start my search where they had been on the beach and work my way towards the lifeguard station, where Kalleigh realized the necklace was missing. I performed a grid search, starting parallel with the water. I broke up the approximately 250-300 feet by breaking the area down to 4 quadrants and slowly gridded each area. Not many targets either. Other than a quarter, there was nothing else, other than an occasional pull tab and the metal handle of a few sparklers. As I was about to finish up my 3rd quadrant, I received a signal that kept bouncing between 12-45 and 37-47. The first set of numbers indicated a non-ferrous item, most likely a dime or quarter. The second set of numbers were definitely a ferrous target. Depth on my CTX-3030 was indicating 4-5 inches deep. I then took my scoop and pulled out the sand. The target wasn’t in the 1st scoop of sand. I took out my pinpointer searched the hole with it. Once I found the target, I scooped a handful of sand and there it was, the gold necklace. I had found Kaleigh’s lost necklace. I immediately took a picture of the necklace and sent it to Ashley. Her reply was, “OMG, Thank you so much. She is going to be so happy “. Ashley and I then made plans to meet up a little later and return the necklace.
When Ashley and Kalleigh arrived at my home, I could see Kalleigh’s very large smile just beaming, as the walked across the street, towards me. Those smiles are the reason I absolutely love doing this. There is no better reward that to see pure joy and happiness on someone’s face. I then learned that Kalleigh’s grandfather had personally made the necklace and gifted the necklace to Kalleigh for Christmas, 2 years prior. This is the absolute best job in the world and on top of all the smiles, I got to see a beautiful sunrise.

Lost ring in Central Idaho: Found

I was on a metal detecting trip at a popular resort at a natural lake in Idaho. Tourists come from all over to enjoy the spectacular views of the Saw Tooth Mountains, and to play in the lake. In water about four feet deep, I retrieved a ring. It turned out to be a high school class ring. With many of the rings I find, I have little chance of finding the owner, but class rings are different. This ring had the name of the high school, the year of graduation, and the last name of the owner. I called the high school and left my name and phone number with a counselor there. She contacted the student, and a few days later I got a call from Marianne! She gave me her address and I sent the ring. Now it’s back on her finger, where it belongs.

Lost ring in Zion National Park: Found

Maria was on vacation, hiking through the Narrows in Zion National Park. About knee deep in the cold Virgin River, her grandmother’s family heirloom wedding ring slipped off Maria’s finger and disappeared into the water. Maria, together with friends and strangers, searched for the ring, but couldn’t find it. After she returned home to Connecticut, she found me on TheRingFinders.com. While she contacted the National Park Service for permission for me to find her ring, I packed my metal detectors into a backpack. I left home before 3:00 am, drove 4 hours to Zion, and hiked for an hour through the Virgin river, through water that got as deep as my chest, so I had to hold my backpack over my head to keep it dry. Thanks to Maria’s detailed instructions, I found the location where the ring was lost. I selected the best metal detector for that terrain and started searching. It was literally about 30 seconds into the search when I got a beep, and there was her ring! They hadn’t found it earlier because it was nestled between two rocks, but rocks won’t hide gold from a metal detector. It took another one-hour to hike back through river, and another four hours to drive back home. I sent Maria a video of me sealing her precious ring into a box and attaching a UPS label. Her ring is now back on her finger.

   

Lost gold pendant – Fairhope, AL

  • from Mobile (Alabama, United States)

I got a call from Brad earlier this week about a small pendant that was lost in his yard a couple days prior. He was in Fairhope which is only about 20 miles away from me on Dauphin Island as the crow flies, but is over an hour drive because it’s “across the bay” as we like to say here. Because of the distance, we mutually agreed that an afternoon later in the week would work best for both of us.
The day finally arrived and I talked my hubby into a nice little afternoon drive. After running into an unmarked detour and a street that was so new it wasn’t on my car’s GPS, we finally found his house. After carefully listening to the details of how it was lost, we both sectioned off a portion of the yard and started gridding. Almost an hour later just as we were almost about to give up, I heard a shallow target with a promising tone on my Nox 800. I simultaneously looked down and there was the tiny 18K gold pendant with a stone nestled in the grass ! Yay !! I happily knocked on the door and dropped the little pendant into Brad’s hand. I always love the surprised look I get. Brad stepped out and quickly pulled a very generous monetary reward out of his pocket which, as always, I just as quickly turned down. Karma is always my best reward ! Brad declined my request for a picture of him, but he did let me take a picture of his two adorable little girls who looked very happy that Mommy and Daddy were happy.

Lost Sentimental Silver Ring at Kahala Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from the Kahala Hotel and Resort Concierge asking if I was available for a guest’s lost ring recovery at the beach in the water.  I responded that I was currently on a ring hunt and could be reached in about an hour and to give their guest my contact number.  While driving home from that successful recovery I got a call from Sune who was visiting Oahu from Copenhagen, Denmark.  As he was starting to swim the backstroke his Sentimental  Silver Ring fell off in chest deep water.  He borrowed a mask and snorkel but the water was too murky to see anything.  I told Sune since it was getting late I’d get on the tide chart at my home computer and call him back for the best time to hunt the following morning.  It so happened sunrise at 6:30 would be the beginning of a low tide and we agreed to meet in the hotel lobby.  When I arrived Sune showed me the area he was in and it was perfectly calm water although the surf was breaking on the outer reef.  Anyone who knows this beach it gets mucky in many spots and difficult to keep on a grid.  I decided to start shallow and work deep parallel to the shore.  I asked Sune if the depth I was at would be good and he said lets start a little bit shallower.  So I did.  I started the grid search and my first target was a nice high tone.  I took a scoop and as the scoop broke the surface I had a wad of gray muck and green algae in the scoop.  I got a glimpse of a silver shine and as I pulled the goop out of my scoop the silver ring was tangled in the algae.  OMG!  Had Sune not told me to go that little bit shallower I would have hunted for hours and not found it.  These Kahala Beaches have played many tricks on me in the past and each time the ring had been found more shallow then expected.  As you can imagine Sune was so grateful to have his sentimental ring back before he flies to Los Angeles this evening.  Aloha to Sune!

Lost Gold Wedding Band at Makapuu Beach Park…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Jimmy who was on vacation from Vancouver BC Canada.  The text said, ” I could use your services.”  I immediately called and Jimmy told me while shaking out his towel he had forgotten he had put the ring there and it got flung out into the sand and disappeared.  I told Jimmy I’d grab my gear and meet him in the parking lot of Makapuu Beach park.  When I arrived 20 minutes later Jimmy took me down to the area the ring was lost.  I could see in the sand where he had been raking his fingers in hopes of finding the ring.  I fired up the Manticore and started a grid search.  First target was a bottle cap.  It sounded soooo good!  Next target sounded even better and was a perfect dot on the 2D display.  In one scoop there was Jimmy’s ring.  I could see the look of relief on his face.  He said, “Thank you for saving my vacation!”  Aloha to Jimmy!
