Lost Diamond Cross Pendant found Fort Worth

  • from Fort Worth (Texas, United States)
Contact:

Received an email from Cyndi on July 8, 2020 that she lost her diamond pendant while fighting off a wasp attack while exiting a backyard gate at her sons home. I contacted her and discussed what had happened. She was quite upset from the loss and also got stung seven times. I scheduled to be out the following day. We searched her sons and neighbors yard for about 45 minutes. The pendant was found in the neighbors yard about 15 feet behind the gate.
She was not present but her son and mom were really surprised. I called Cyndi and she was elated, and very happy. I’m glad your ok Cyndi and despite what happened I’m glad this made your day!  Thank  you for the reward!!

Lost Lady’s Class Ring – Kill Devil Hills – Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)
Contact:

On Friday the 10th I got a call from a young lady who had lost her 2020 class ring in the sand.  She was nearby in Kill Devils Hills so I told her that I could be there in about 15 minutes.

When I arrived, I met her at the beach access and she said that her parents were waiting on the beach.  When I arrived mom and dad said that they had just recently purchased the ring for their daughter.  It was brand new!

The dad had circled an area about 12 feet in diameter…so I began.  On second swipe I got a good hit on my Minelab Equinox 800.  I said, “It can’t be that easy, can it?”  I reached down and picked up and handful of sand that contained the ring.

Mom was thrilled and dad shook may hand (even though we aren’t supposed to do that anymore). They were both thrilled as was the young lady.

Lost Ring Kits Beach…Found

Chris Turner- Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Call ASAP  778-838-3463

This afternoon I received a call from a young lady who’s husband lost his ring in shallow water while paddleboarding at kits beach. She told me her husband was still in the water with others searching for the ring. I told her to tell him to relax and that I’d be there in 45 minutes,  I assured her I would find the ring if it was there.

The most important thing I told her was to mark the location where he belived it came off his finger. So many times people panic and forget to make mental notes of the approximate location the ring came off which makes it very difficult as we are looking for something very small in the ocean.

When I arrived and met Sam we talked a little bit and he showed me where the ring came off his finger. I grab my gear and headed into the water and after 15 minutes I tightened up my grid search and ask more questions, there’s a lot of iron pieces, pull tabs, and bottle caps in this area. I knew I would find his ring and I was listening for a very loud short signal in about 25 minutes I got that signal and pulled out Sam’s beautiful white gold wedding band. Sam was spot on with the location the only thing was that the tide went out by the time I got there and the ring was found close to shore.

I’ll never get tired of what I do, I absolutely love finding people smiles and seeing the reactions when I find their ring and put it back in their hand. I also get to meet some amazing great people and Sam is one of them, I have the best job in the world! Thanks for the virtual hug Sam and the kind reward, historical times this COVID-19.

Received a call from Ben on his lost wedding ring in Long Lake Traverse City, Michigan

Ben stated his brother tackled him and the ring flew off his finger. The water was a little above waist deep in the area this happened.

I went Monday night and did not have any success in finding the ring. I got a picture from Ben to get me in the area. I was about 60 feet off the area on Monday night. I waited till Wednesday after work to go back and took “backup Dave” with me he is retired and has an open schedule. Dave got started in the new area, I called Ben to get a better description on what happened because I did not have all the details before. Ben walked 25 paces to shore after the ring went missing. I was getting the shore marker he walked to. I finished with Ben and got started and “backup Dave” was digging a signal in the area I showed him and found the ring. Dave and I were very happy to team up to find this ring.

Palladium wedding band found in Glen Arbor, Michigan

Contact:

I got a call from Rocky needing help finding his Palladium wedding ring. He was in shoulder deep water in Lake Michigan and felt his ring slip off his finger. We agreed to meet Friday morning at 9:00am.

I asked the normal questions when we first met. We marked off an area 50 feet wide by 70 feet long in the water. Rocky is 6 foot 5 I’m 5 foot 8. I searched out as deep as I could go then handed Rocky my Excalibur II. Rocky searched the deeper area I could not reach. We had no luck in finding the ring, so I started searching shallower all the way to the shoreline. I could tell Rocky was getting discouraged so I had him go search the condo to keep his mind busy. Ended up grid searching the 50 by 70 foot area twice from two different directions and did not find the ring. This took 5 1/2 hours to grid search the area twice.

After the 5 1/2 hours in the water I was whooped and ready to call it a day. Rocky just happened to walk back down to the beach. I had already had a couple conversations with him about what had happened. He stated his ring has never fallen off before and was not loose. I told him again something physical happened to cause the ring to slip off. He was still sticking to the story of having the feeling of his ring coming off his finger. I told him if he wanted his ring back he needed to trust me 100 percent. I told him that people are stressed when they find out there ring is gone and that moment is burned into there brain that is where the ring is at. I told him your mind plays games with you and we need to turn this into process of elimination. That something physical happened to cause the ring to come off. He thought about it for a couple minutes then said I trust you. Then I asked him what else has happened the last couple days.

He said well, I fell out of a Kayak a couple day ago up the river. He said he did not tell me about it because there is no way he went 1 1/2 days without his ring and not notice it missing. I told him we need to go to the spot he fell in asap. We paddled up to the spot then I fell out of the kayak in the same spot. When I stood up I saw a shinny round looking object on the bottom. I turned on the Excalibur II to make sure it was metal. I got a really loud nice signal. Bent down picked it up and handed him his ring. His reaction was about 8 NOWAY!’s On the paddle back down river I heard him ask himself how he went 1 1/2 days without noticing his ring missing.

Three 250 lb anchors found in Lake Michigan at Eastport, Michigan

Contact:

I received a call from Nancy that the sand had moved and they cannot find the three 250 lb anchors they use to anchor there boat in Lake Michigan. The blocks weight 250 lb each and have a re-rod hook in the top.

She needed this done asap due to the dock being installed in 3 days. Its a lot easier finding the blocks before the dock is installed. I could not make it till the weekend, so, I had my backup go. His name is Dave Coates, he has over 100 ring returns to his credit. The more impressive part is 90 percent of them were before the internet was invented. Dave said it took about an hour to find all three blocks. They were out in neck deep water due to Lake Michigan is about 2-3 feet above normal lake levels right now. Dave did not get any pictures of the blocks so I attached a picture of Dave on another call with me.

Ring lost in water for over a year returned

  • from Marietta (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

I was enjoying a hot afternoon metal detecting in a local swimming beach when I found a really awesome spinner ring with the names “Nate & Lindsey” on the inside. Using the power of social media I made a post asking for help. 675 shares later, I get a message from Lindsey and she verifies the ring and we set up a time and public place to meet her and Nate to return the ring. They told me that they never thought that they would see that ring again because it was lost over a year ago. Now they have the ring back after laying in 4’ of water for over a year

I received a call from David who was calling for a friend that had lost his ring in the sand at the beach. David remembered me from 3 years prior when he called me for another friend who had lost his ring, which I found. This time his friend Brian had put his wedding ring in his hat when he went into the water, but forgot when his belongings were moved so the two of them could practice their Wifflle Ball skills. I let them know I would be able to come right away.

I got to the area, and David found me to wave me over the spot of the loss. He showed me the area, which did not seem to be large, right next to a trash can. I began my search grid, not finding anything. I then began a grid behind the trash can, and right next to it received a good signal. I had to scoop a couple of times because the target was moving, but when I raised the scoop, inside was a nice gold ring. I gave it back to Brian, who was happy he did not have to go home and have to explain to his wife how it was lost.😊 Another great day!

Ring Lost While Paddleboarding, Found by SCUBA Diver in James River, Richmond, Virginia

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Rob Ellis: Underwater Ring Recovery Specialist. Call or text 703-598-1435

June 7th, 2020 James River, Midlothian (Richmond), Virginia

Jake was paddle boarding off of his neighborhood dock when his gold wedding band slipped off. He called me and we set a date to search. My wife, son, and I met Jake and he took us to the dock. As you can see from the photos, it was a beautiful day for a search.

The depth was about 10 feet with visibility from zero to five feet. After discussing the variables with my shore crew, I decided to use a circle search reel of my own design. There were some sunken logs and debris entangled with fishing line and hooks. This complicated the search. After about 45 minutes, I got a signal on my safety line to surface from my dive master. After some more discussions with Jake, she recommended I shift my search area about 40 feet upriver. It’s a good thing since that is where I found the ring!
