I arrived at the house and it was explained that the day before they were cleaning out the garden and there was a small spot in the backyard, a garbage can, and some fabric pots where the ring could most likely be located. I checked the yard area first with no luck. The next likely place was to be the garbage can so I dumped out the can full of tomatoes and plants…no luck! I cleaned up the yard and started to check the fabric pots. I got a faint sound, but enough to make me investigate further. Using my pinpointer I located the ring about halfway down in the pot. David was elated to have his ring back and I was all to happy to be able to have recovered it. As always – it was a great pleasure to meet kind and generous people like David and his wife, and the cherry on top was being able to return his ring!

Dina contacted me about a phone she had lost the night before at the beach. I asked a lot of questions like where on the sand was it lost knowing this beach is machine groomed by the county daily. When she said it was in the towel line I did not hold much hope for a recovery. She did tell me that it was still showing on the “Find My IPhone” app, and even sent the latest screen shot from the app. She told me she was not able to meet me there because of her job, but told me where to look, and the screen shot gave me a general area as well. I let her know that I would give it a try, and went there to look.

When I got there the area of the search was packed with people, but I began my search anyway weaving in and out trying very hard to not disturb anybody. People would move in and out which helped in covering most of the area. I found a few items, but not the phone. Then I moved up a little more, and got an overpowering signal, put the scoop in, and to my amazement out pops the phone. It had only been covered by about an inch of sand, and had to have been walked on by myriads of people from the time it was lost until I found it. I was surprised that it had not been found seeing it was so shallow, and could have been felt underfoot. Well I was able to get it back to her that night when she got off work, and she was happy for sure.

Matt called saying he had lost his ring at the beach. He said it had just happened about an hour before the call, and he and his friends could not find it. I let him know that I would come right away.

I got to the beach, and had to park about half a mile away, but was able to find Matt. When he showed me the area I could see a lot of sand had been moved, and there was at least one child’s sand sifter that had been used in the process. He was sure where it should be as he had watched it come off of his finger. Well I figured to begin where they had already looked, and went over the whole area without a signal. Then just on the outskirts of where they had searched I got a good signal, dug, and had his ring in the scoop. I was able to give him a bit of relief to not have to go home without his ring, a happy day all around.

It was in the evening when Salma called. She had been at the beach with friends, and when it was late she realized her phone was missing. She and her friends scoured the sand looking for the phone, but were unable to find it, that is when Salma called me. I asked if it was showing on the “Find My IPhone” app, and she said it was.  I let her know that I was available, and would come right away.

When I got to the beach Salma met me, and took me out to where the phone was lost. They we very smart in that they marked the area they thought the loss occurred, because judging things in the dark can be very difficult. I began the search where they had made the mark coming up with the usual trash metal, bottle caps, tin foil, pull tabs, etc. but no phone. I covered all the area with no luck, but they were sure it should be there. I let them know that I was going to expand my search, and they reluctantly agreed that would be good. Then about 15 feet from their original area I received a very strong signal, dug, and found the phone. I reached down, grabbed it, and then held it up for them. Salma came over very excited to have her phone back, but did not want her photo taken, so I asked Peter her friend if he would pose with the phone which he agreed to. It was a very warm and HUMID night that night, and I was glad to be going home after that search. All in all, a very good night.

Ring Found in Hudsonville, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Received a text from Bonnie stating she lost her wedding ring in the backyard yesterday. Gregg and I set up an appointment and we met her after she got home from work. She showed us the area where she had been pulling weeds out of a tall grassy area and there were small piles of dirt where the weeds had been pulled out. She retired to the house as we went and grabbed our equipment. In searching the first small pile of dirt, BINGO, there was her ring, 30 seconds at most. Knocking on the door she was surprised at the quick recovery. The dog was not happy with these two strange guys and it took a while to warm up to us. In the end we put a big smile on Bonnie and even the pup.

Lost Wedding Band Blessed by Pope Francis…Found by Ring Finder in Potomac, Maryland

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Jon’s extremely special 10 karat yellow gold classic wedding band that was blessed by Pope Francis.

A beam of happiness shines across the countenance of Jon’s face just minutes after being presented with his beloved wedding band by metal detectorist and member of THE RING FINDERS, Brian Rudolph

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

I received a call from a woman named Julia who contacted me on behalf of her husband Jon. He lost his classic yellow 14 karat gold wedding band while working out at a local Park in Potomac, Maryland. This ring was not just a sentimental piece of property that meant so very much to the couple, but it also had tremendous spiritual meaning to Jon and Julia as well. The band that was placed upon the groom’s finger, had actually been blessed by Pope Francis himself! This special keepsake was extremely unique in every regard!

Just before Jon started doing pull-ups on some play equipment, he responsibly took his ring off and placed it in his shorts pocket for safekeeping. Then, after he finished his reps, Jon went on a jog around a pond that was situated in the middle of the park. He forgot to place his wedding band back on his finger and by the time he got around to the other side of the pond, the ring had fallen out of his pocket somewhere along the path. Though the concerned gentleman searched for the missing jewel for 45 minutes or so, none of his efforts helped to recover the lost band. Jon walked home sad and shared the news with his wife Julia.

Sometime that evening, Julia decided to take to the internet and search for a solution to try to find a way to recover the one-of-a-kind ring. She eventually stumbled upon the elite international directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS. Before long, I received a call from Julia and I immediately made plans to visit the park where Jon’s “symbol of love” was lost.

With all of the information that Julia had given me, I felt pretty confident that I could attempt the recovery project without having Jon present. In fact, his wife hoped that this would turn out to be kind of a surprise for her distraught husband if I was somehow able to return it back to his finger.

As soon as I reached the play equipment, I took my metal detector out and scanned the entire area. I concluded that the ring was definitely not under any of the wood chips that surrounded the equipment. I then moved onto the path where Jon had jogged around the pond.

Because there was plenty of distance that I would have to metal detect around the body of water, it made the most sense to start from the play equipment and move counterclockwise in the direction that Jon had traveled. Every 20 yards, I detected 5 feet from the right edge of the path over to the grassy lawn area. Then, when I didn’t find the band, I backtracked and scanned 20 yards of grass (5 foot wide swings) heading back in the direction where I started detecting. When I didn’t find anything on the other side of the path, I started searching the next 20 yards of grass on either side of the concrete.

Although the project took quite a bit of time, I am delighted to share that all of my efforts proved to be most successful in the end! After metal detecting approximately 100 yards of grass (moving my coil with 5 foot wide swings back and forth) around the pond, my detector eventually gave me the target signal that I had been yearning to hear and analyze for nearly an hour and a half! In the grass, a few feet from the path, I found the precious wedding band that had been blessed by the Pope and placed upon Jon’s ring finger all those years earlier! I was beyond elated for the couple that would soon be surprised at my successful endeavors!

When I revealed my findings with Jon over by his house, the man couldn’t believe what I was able to return back to him! He truly thought the ring was gone for good! He had such disbelief about the whole matter that he studied his ring extremely carefully just to make sure that he wasn’t being set up for a huge disappointment. Thankfully, Jon realized quite quickly that what seemed to be an impossibility in ever seeing his ring again had actually become a true reality! I give thanks to the Lord for such a fantastic finish!

Lost ring Minnesota metal detecting recovered ring finders web site

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)

Mariam recently came to the U.S. to study at the university level in Minnnesota. While enjoying a day at a local fall festival with friends, Mariam lost a ring that her Mother gave to her just before leaving for America. The white gold ring was designed as a Mother/Daughter ring to help Mariam feel close to home while away. She rented a metal detector and searched for 3 hours only finding a few coins. While searching the internet for help, Mariam came across theringfinders.com and called me right away. I met her out at the festival the next morning and she pointed out the area she believed the lost ring would be. It only took about 10 seconds, my first hit and I found the beautiful double heart diamond filled mother daughter ring. Congrats Mariam, so glad I could help.
