Phone tag to find the Key Fob owner in Kelowna.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)

Friday night I received a phone call from a fellow detectorist, who asked if I could assist a lady with a lost key Fob. He gave me the ladies number, but the  group of ladies stranded could not identify the park where they where at, they forwarded me on to their Aunt from Edmonton. By the time we figured it out it is was dark, I told them I would be there the next morning.  Saturday morning I got there at 7am, without any specific location, just by the parked red Mazda, sand or maybe the grass? I started gridding the sand, and after 30 minutes I had the Car Fob. I phoned the Aunts number, phone not in use, so I called the initial detectors request, and he did not know, but his brother did, I called his brother who contacted the lady and said she would call me back. Her friends turned up and sure enough it was their Key Fob. They started the car and drove it to the owner. Key fobs are expensive to replace, especially with the car stranded.

Lost White Gold Wedding Band at Hale Koa Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Brittany who was on vacation from Dallas Texas.  Her text said she got my info from Don my fellow ring finder on Oahu and said her husband Michael lost his white gold wedding ring on Hale Koa Beach in the dry sand.  I told her I was getting off work soon and would grab my gear and head right down.  I told her I would come down the board walk and just flag me when I came in sight.  When I arrived on location Michael was already removing beach items from the search area and showed me the area he thought the ring would be.  I fired up the “Beast” my Manticore off course and started the hunt.  My first target screamed a “36” and in one scoop there was Michael’s precious Tacori white gold wedding ring.  Brittany asked if that was my fastest recovery and i said, “No, I actually turned my detector on at Turtle Bay and the ring was under my coil.  But this for sure is second quickest!!!  They sincerely thanked me and I wished them well on the rest of their vacation.  Aloha to Michael & Brittany!

 

Experience Counts

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)

I got a call from Lake Country BC, a one hour drive away, the gentleman told me he had lost his 18k yellow gold and ruby ring that his wife presented to him years ago. He hosted his sons wedding in his back yard around the pool, and lower patio area last Fall, he lost the ring removing lighting from around the pool. He had photographs from the patio showing that he had the ring before the lights removal, he suspected it was in the Basalt rocks around the patio, below where the lighting was, he thought it probably came off during the removal. His search had no results, I told him would respond the first good weather day. Yesterday was that day, I spent almost 2 hours gridding the area, and advised him the I was convinced that it was not there,  he responded that I was probably his last resort. I told him stories of past recoveries where the lost item often turned up the trash bags where leaves etc had been placed, and suggested he take down his packing boxes where he stored the lights and search them, he agreed and said that was also his plan. That evening he called to say he had found the ring, and thanked me for my time and travel, and that I was his inspiration to take down the boxes and search them,  his last hope was the boxes.

 

An Exercise Run in the Cold & Wet Leads to an Engagement Ring and Wedding Band Lost in a Yucaipa Greenbelt, Than One Found!

  • from Corona (California, United States)

If you lost your ring or other valuable in the Inland Empire of Southern California, call or text me ASAP! Ron Wilton 951-415-6007!

The second atmospheric river was sweeping through Southern California, so I knew the rain and cold would bring issues. But I didn’t realize it would start with a call for help.  I received a call in the late afternoon of Tuesday, February 20th from Megan, a Kindergarten teacher, who was beside herself. She told me that she had gone out for a quick run by her house the day before and both her engagement ring and wedding band came off. She  knew the approximate area, as she said she felt them come off. But after searching the sidewalk and small grassy area, she failed to locate them.

She then went online and found me on The Ringfinders website. She recorded a video and sent it to me which showed the route she ran, which, thankfully, was short before she lost her rings, and indicated the area she felt it could be. The area was a greenbelt between homes with a sidewalk for walking/running, kids playground equipment, and small grassy areas for pets. I agreed to head over to the greenbelt and start searching for them on Wednesday afternoon as it showed the rain would not be so intense then. Megan was working, so any questions I had I would text her. I checked the edges of the sidewalk along her route but no luck. I then started a grid search of the small grassy area next to the kids playground. After about 10 minutes I found her engagement ring about ten feet off the sidewalk. I continued searching the area but was unable to locate her wedding band. As this is a high traffic area for the local residents walking their dogs , it’s possible the band was found earlier in the day.

I messaged her a picture of the engagement ring and asked “Does one of them look like this?” You could feel the excitement when I received a message back “That’s it! OMG you are my hero! I want to cry in front of all my kindergarteners!”

I met her at her school when it let out and completed the happy reunion. A huge smile and two big hugs…that’s what it is all about!

Lost Women’s Engagement Ring Found!! NRH, Texas

  • from Fort Worth (Texas, United States)

I received a call Tuesday morning from Ladonna February 20, 2024
She was working in her front yard cleaning out the garden and raking up leaves when she lost her gold engagement ring with a solitary diamond. I told her I would come out this afternoon and locate it for her. I arrived around 3:00 pm and she showed me the area. I video taped this search. She was watching and after about 15 minutes I found it but did not tell her. I started the camera and went over to tell her I didn’t think it was in this area, while she turned away I held out the ring, when she  turned back towards me she got the surprise and her response was priceless.  I’m so glad I made her day. Thank you Lodonna for the experience and thank you for the reward!!!
