Georgette had been diligently working on her latest project in the backyard of their gorgeous Herndon, Virginia estate. She was constructing a beautiful garden path made of rock, pebbles and stone. Towards the end of the day, the young lady realized that her precious 14 karat white gold snake style diamond engagement ring was missing from her finger.

Georgette did everything in her ability to find her lost ring, but nothing came about from all of her efforts. She searched all over her property with a metal detector that she bought from a local sporting goods store, but still she could not find her precious jewel.

Georgette’s fiance Rick also joined in the search, and after the couple had invested over 6 hours of metal detecting and using their flashlights to try to eyeball the lost ring, sadly, all of their efforts led to no avail. Georgette was devastated. She even woke up in the middle of the night, went out into the backyard with her phone light illuminated and continued to scan the area where she had been working so diligently in the past 24 hours. Unfortunately, she walked back into her house empty-handed.

When all else failed, Georgette took to the internet and searched for another solution to her desperate situation. That’s when the answer finally surfaced. She found the elite international directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS! Like many, she did not know that such a service existed. Immediately, she looked up a local metal detectorist in her area and that’s when she found me.

I spoke with my client on the phone for quite a while so that I could acquire all of the details regarding the disappearance of her exquisite diamond snake style engagement ring. Georgette told me that there were times when she was not working with her gloves on in order to take pictures and to maneuver a few things around in the area where she was constructing the garden path. I took note of all of those particular times and places that she remembered not wearing her gloves and the actions that Georgette initiated that may have caused the ring to slip off of her finger.

After getting all of the information that I needed, the two of us set up a time for me to come out to her estate in order for me to attempt to solve this curious mystery. I couldn’t wait to get to Georgette and Rick’s property!

Later that afternoon I arrived at the couple’s estate and immediately Rick and Georgette took me to the backyard to show me all of the surroundings that were part of my “investigation”. Their estate was simply breathtaking! Additionally, the path that Georgette had made from scratch was truly a work of art!

As soon as Georgette had finished showing me where she had labored so diligently, such as: all of the places that she walked to gather tools, spread materials, dumped weeds, set up her outdoor Bluetooth speaker system inside a bucket to listen to music, and each of the areas where she took pictures, I was ready to start detecting.

In the two and half hour time period that I had been metal detecting and scanning all around the search site, I diligently covered a number of key spots where the ring could have potentially ended up. I looked all along the new path that Georgette had created, grid searched a part of the lawn where the young lady had hauled weeds in a wheelbarrow to a dumping site across the property, metal detected all of the building materials that were piled up on the ground, metal detected in and around her beautiful garden of vegetables and flowers, and finally scanned an area where Georgette had found numerous baby snakes that she had to deal with over by a tree stump. I checked everywhere and still found no ring.

It just so happened that during the final leg of my search (the last possible place remaining that I needed to scan with my faithful machine), I am happy to share that I finally struck gold and ice! I was so excited! I was metal detecting on the far end of Georgette’s garden, on the other side of a barrier that she put up to separate the garden from the path. As I was scanning in the grass over by an area where I remembered that she had mentioned that she had taken some pictures of her newly constructed creation, I got the perfect signal on my detector screen! It fell into the range of a possible white gold object. Because nightfall had almost set in, I took to the ground and carefully pinpointed the area where my metal detector had indicated the potential target. And there it was! I found it! I discovered Georgette’s missing snake style diamond engagement ring that meant the world to her! It held such sentimental meaning that she had cried on the phone earlier that morning when I had first talked with my client about what that special piece of jewelry had meant to her! The irreplaceable “symbol of love” was found deep down in the grass, just waiting for a ring finder to uncover it!

Minutes after I discovered the lost ring, I had the joy and privilege to unveil the news of my findings with Georgette and Rick! The young lady couldn’t control her emotions at the moment that I revealed before them the exquisite diamond ring that I had just metal detected on their property! It was a moment that I will not easily forget!

The couple was beyond grateful for my diligence and perseverance displayed during the time that I was in their backyard searching for the lost piece of jewelry! What a wonderful afternoon that was in serving Georgette and Rick! I gave much thanks to God for being my Ring Hero as He helped me to become one for this very special couple who were deeply in love with one another!

Lost Diamond Earring at Goucher College in Towson, Maryland…Found by Metal Detectorist

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Serra’s 14 karat white gold earring comprised of multiple diamonds in a circular shaped setting…found on Goucher College campus in Towson, Maryland by metal detectorist, Brian Rudolph.

Serra and some of her family members celebrate the return of her very special earring that Serra’s beloved mother had gifted to her sometime in the past!

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

Serra called me for help regarding the loss of her 14 karat white gold earring comprised of multiple diamonds in a circular shaped setting. She lost the piece of jewelry while waiting for one of her daughters to finish her swim lesson at Goucher College located in Towson, Maryland (in the Baltimore area).

Apparently, Serra was picking up one of her daughters on a grassy hill outside the aquatic building when without warning her beloved swim student returned and tossed her swim towel along the side of her mother’s face. That was the action that caused Serra’s earring to come off of her ear and land somewhere in the grass.

Serra was really upset about losing this earring because it was given to her by her mother and It meant a great deal to Serra. She frantically searched in the thick grass for the lost sentimental keepsake but all of her efforts led to no avail. She would return once more to the campus to look for the very elegant diamond earring but yet again she would not “strike gold and ice”.

Fortunately, Serra went online and discovered that there was a very special metal detecting service called THE RING FINDERS – a directory consisting of metal detectorists around the world who specialize in recovering all kinds of items including earrings, rings and miscellaneous jewelry.

After going through all of the details with my potential client over the phone, Serra and I set up a time for me to come out to Goucher College and attempt a recovery of her lost earring.

When I arrived at the search site, the young lady showed me the grassy knoll where the piece of jewelry flew off of her ear. Like an investigator, I asked her every question in the book before taking my detector out to conduct a few tests on her other matching earring.

That evening, I extensively grid searched a large portion of real estate along the hillside where the earring could have ended up. For the first few hours, unfortunately, all of the signals that I received on my detector pertained to pieces of metal that were hidden below the dirt. There were many onlookers who were quite interested in my quest to find the lost jewelry. Some stayed around for quite a long time just to see if I would pull the rabbit out of the hat. I loved the audience but as time rolled by, I eventually lost my faithful spectators!

At some point, I ended up on my hands and knees and backtracked to all of the sections that I had already metal detected just to make sure that I did not miss the little piece of metal anywhere on my grid parameter. Still, I found nothing.

Eventually, nightfall befell me and I started using my outdoor headlamp in order to illuminate my search environment. I was determined not to give up. I began to metal detect beyond the initial territory that I first set out to investigate. I concluded that the earring must have rocketed farther outside of the realistic search zone and ended up farther away from the initial designated epicenter that Serra and I had first marked off.

I am quite happy to share that my decision to metal detect beyond the original search area eventually paid off! To my great surprise and excitement, my detector picked up a very curious signal that came up in the range of what the matching earring had registered on my machine earlier that day! I got down on the ground, took out my handheld detector and pinpointed the exact location as to where that signal was coming from. Deep in the grass, there it was…Serra’s beautiful 14 karat white gold earring with a cluster of diamonds encased all around the circular gold setting! I could not have been more excited at that moment when my eyes beheld that lovely piece of jewelry that was hidden way beneath the many blades of grass! Apparently, the earring had shot off of Serra’s ear like a cannon and ended up over 20 feet away from where the towel had initially brushed up against the side of Serra’s face! Absolutely incredible!

I couldn’t wait to reveal the fantastic news with my client and her family! Serra was beyond shocked, and of course thrilled at the news of my successful recovery of her beloved piece of jewelry! In the end, she could not have agreed with me more with the words that I had first shared with her when we initially talked on the phone – that is…as an item recovery specialist… I never give up easily!

Stafford, Virginia Metal Detectorist Finds Lost Wedding Band After Ring Throw During a Spousal Fight

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Tony’s wife’s 14 karat yellow gold classic wedding band that was thrown off the second story level of the couple’s Stafford, Virginia house.

Metal detectorist Brian Rudolph showing off Tony’s wife’s wedding band which he successfully recovered after metal detecting in the back yard for nearly an hour.

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

Tony contacted me because he and his wife ended up in a fight which eventually ended up with his spouse opening up the second level French doors that face the back of the house and throwing her 14 karat yellow gold classic wedding band. Originally Tony wanted to rent a metal detector but I eventually talked him out of it. I shared with my client that so many people are unsuccessful when using a rented machine or a bought detector because they are not familiar with using the device. Money and time is waisted often by people who think they can just pick up a metal detector and find what they are looking for. Tony felt very comfortable with me and felt confident that my expertise would be the best solution in recovering his wife’s lost sentimental keepsake.

Two days later, I arrived at Tony’s Stafford, Virginia house in order to conduct the ring search. First, my client took me out to the backyard and showed me where his spouse threw the ring from the second level of the house. Next, once I got an understanding of the rear lawn layout, I returned to my vehicle and wheeled my wagon full of metal detecting gear out to the backyard and immediately began the search.

I’m excited to share that less than an hour later, I was able to successfully recover Tony’s wife’s very special wedding band! I did a systematic grid search and eventually I got a very curious signal on my detector screen that gave all of the right indications that I might have found the lost piece of gold jewelry. Next, I analyzed the ground with my pinpointer, and beneath a few blades of grass, buried partially down in the mud, there it was…a beautiful “halo” of precious yellow gold!

I was so very happy for Tony and his beloved wife who would soon be wearing her very precious sentimental keepsake once again! My client could not have been more relieved by the news that I shared with him upon reaching his front door when I gave him the encouraging search update!

With a big smile on Tony’s face, he said to me with much gratitude exuding from his countenance, “I sure am glad that I hired you instead of renting a metal detector!”

Custom Diamond Engagement Ring Lost, fell off dock right after marriage proposal.. Recovered & Returned after 2 days of diving..Lost Ring Florida Ring Finder to the Rescue…

  • from Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida, United States)

I received a call last week from Mary who told me her son proposed to his now fiancée on their private dock in St. Augustine, FL. The bride to be lifted up her hand to show the ring to family when flew off her finger and fell between the dock decking and into the dark water 10’ below. My first attempt to find the ring was unsuccessful as the water had about 3-6” of visibility and a bone chilling 55 degrees. I searched for about an hour until the sound of my chattering teeth overwhelmed the sound of the metal detector. I returned 2 days later hoping for better visibility and warmer water but no such luck. This search was very challenging because not only was the visibility almost non existent but the sea bottom floor was covered in bed of oysters. On this dive I was fortunate to have my friend Sean from Hunting4History to assist me. We were equipped with 2 SeaGhost metal detectors, 2 Blu3 Nemo tankless diving systems, and underwater LED lights. After several hours, lodged in the oyster bedwe were able to recover and return this beautiful ring. .#LostRingSt.Augustine#Hunting4History#St.AugustineRingFinder#experiencedmetal detectorexpert#lostring#lostringflorida#metaldetectorrental#TheRingFinders

 

 

Two Gold Rings Found In Trash, Williamstown, Massachusetts

  • from Saratoga Springs (New York, United States)
Contact:

The call came in shortly after New Years day. A woman had lost her gold wedding band and an heirloom triple diamond ring in a hotel room. She and her husband had searched everywhere in that room before leaving extremely sad. After listening to their story and asking a dozen questions to make sure it was not lost anywhere else I told them I would meet them at the hotel asap. I told them I could not detect inside the room but I could offer a fresh pair of eyes and a fresh approach. After obtaining permission from the hotel management I met them there and we entered the room.  Fortunately the room had not yet  been cleaned.  I asked them to go through the trash again, even though they had already done that. Within 10 minutes, both rings were found in the trash. We were three very happy people!

25th anniversary band recovered after lost for 6 months

  • from Lincoln (Nebraska, United States)

We were challenged to find a 25th wedding anniversary enhancement band that was lost last summer. Its been dry here and the ground has had big cracks. That concerned me the most, possible depth. My son and I worked for an hour then I switched to a smaller coil because the ground was trashy. 30 minutes later we were able to return the ring. My client, now my friend who wishes to remain anonymous, fed us in depth details of how it was lost including a walk through. The open communication was the winning combination.  402-580-6933

 

 

14K Engagement Ring Found – Marshall Virginia

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)

Call Ray for lost items 571.258.7217 www.mygoldfinder.com

Received a call from Kenny about a lost 14k Rose Gold engagement ring in Marshall Virginia. The ring had been lost for about a week. His wife lost the ring in a grassy knoll in front of his property. Kenny and his wife both searched frantically for several days. Kenny even rented a metal detector from a local shop but with no luck, so he did a little more research and came across theRingFinders network. Kenny provided me a few more details and we made arrangements for me to be at his location early the next morning.

Upon arriving I was hopeful as the area was not very large, however I did get a little nervous after seeing the amount of trash in the gully, but that’s why I’m here. After greeting Kenny I got to work quickly, gridding out a few short paths, eliminating hits I knew to be trash. After about 40 minutes I got a solid hit on the Equinox 800, vdi 10-11. There buried under the leaves was this beautiful rose gold ring!

I sent Kenny a text with a photo of the found ring. He was so overjoyed and surprised I found it so quickly, and stated he wouldn’t tell his wife until she came back from church. Great surprise on a Sunday morning!!

God Bless and happy hunting.

WHO YA GONNA CALL??  

Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wayne, PA!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Received a call from Jeremy from Wayne, PA today. It turns out I successfully recovered his friends lost wedding band several years ago…and he was told to look me up in The Ring Finders directory. Once he tracked down my contact info he shared with me that he lost his titanium wedding band in his front or backyard while walking the dog the evening before. He spent some time looking for it himself but no luck. I met him at his home later that same day and he walked me through where he believed the ring most likely fell off while he was walking the dog. I’ve learned to prioritize search areas to maximize my success and it was clear to me it was most likely lost in front yard among tall grass and leaves. Rings on the surface have a unique signal on my metal detector so while I was registering quite a few signals they were all deep and and most likely trash. On my 3rd or 4th pass I finally got the signal I was hoping for…looked down…and I could immediately see his huge silver colored wedding band! I was very happy to be able to return Jeremy’s ring to him!

Newlywed’s White Gold Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Norwood, PA!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Received a call from Debra from Norwood, PA regarding her husband’s lost white gold wedding band. She found me in The Ring Finders directory and shared with me that her husband, Lenny, lost his beautiful white gold wedding band during a New Years celebration the previous week. The details were a little fuzzy because the loss occurred deep into New Years eve and as expected both Debra and Lenny were celebrating quite vigorously. Basically at some point during the evening Lenny found himself out in their small grassy side yard…and soon thereafter noticed his ring missing off his finger. They spent quite a bit of time searching on their hands and knees the following day with no luck. When I arrived to assist in the search a few days later Lenny told me he was convinced it came off in the small grassy side yard. It was a very small search area…maybe 10×20 feet of grass. I booted up my machine and started scanning the area….was getting constant signals from deeper trash metal…but kept scanning looking for that very unique surface gold ring signal. 3 minutes into the search in an area of deep grass I got the signal I was hoping for….with Debra and Lenny looking on….I bent over and picked up a beautiful white gold wedding band! Was very happy to be able to return the ring to them…they were only 3 months into their marriage!
