Family Crest Ring Reunited. 21rst Birthday Present Ring Reunited

Contact:
Got a call from Luke Barube last night, he is also a Ring Finder. After getting home from finding a ring for someone yesterday, he received another call about a family crest ring lost, because it was so far away he called me in on it. I asked Luke to pass my info along to him.
Later that evening, I received a call from Andy, who said he had lost his 14K yellow Gold family crest ring, it happened about a month earlier in chest deep water, while playing with his dog.
 I told him that there is no guarantee, but I will give it a heck of a try. Andy also said it was a Birthday present for turning 21. We walked down to the beach a few blocks away. I asked him to walk out to the area, stop and turn around, that I would walk out to him. I turned on my detector, and walked two feet while swinging, and my very first signal turned out was his family crest ring staring up at me in my scoop.It was very deep, even after a month in the saltwater. I motioned to him to come over, and he just couldn’t believe I had it already, or that I had found it at all. This is why we do what we do. After a few woo hoo’s and fist pumps, we walked back to the cottage and he yelled to his wife Dianne “We got it” her response was that’s just incredible. Congratulations. Andy said he has a real Treasure story to tell at the BBQ this weekend. I told him he’ll be a hit. Glad it back where it belongs.
Sincerely  Leighton,

50 Years of Marriage. Wedding Band found in bushes (lost,Found,Reunited)

Contact:

50 Years of Marriage.

Upon getting in from detecting I got a call from a gentleman named Jim that lived very close to me. He proceeded to tell me how he had lost his wedding band a few days earlier. He said he tripped down a few stairs and landed in some Pachysandra plants. His wife of over 50 years their neighbors all searched for it a few times to no avail. I told him I’ll come rite over and have a look. Never any guaranty but let’s give it a try.

When I got there we walked across the street to the neighbors house as he talked about it and that it’s very sentimental to him and his wife Kathy and worth around $4,000.00 to replace it. It was a very small area to search. I only had one signal, and It was a nail, Grrr… we were running out of real-estate fast, but I told him not to give up till he sees me get into my truck and leave. I looked around the corner of the house close to that small patch, and noticed a broken Hydrangea plant stem. He hit it and broke it with his arm when he fell, I spread the bush apart and laying at the bottom of the plant on the lowest stem possible hanging from it was his beautiful wedding band that had two rows of 5 diamonds. No pinpointed needed. I asked him how much does he like me?  He started to cry immediately, he knew I had found it. After a few moments he caught his breath enough to Thank me, I said It was absolutely my pleasure, and was so glad he has it back on that finger. Happy Anniversary my friend.

Sincerely Leighton

Contact:

Call Surf City Ring Finder 714-944-0555

Loren texted me and asked if it was possible to find his special ring he lost one week ago in Newport Beach. He had this silver ring made while he was in Spain, it has a depiction of his dog Otis on the face of the ring. Loren set his ring on top of a cooler for safe keeping but it fell into the sand during the day.

I told him I would try to find it, with the help of some photos of the area he provided it got me in the general area. The ring was a little out of my first search area but I found it after gridding for 45 minutes.

Lost rings at Coronado Found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Jenny and family were spending the day at the beach in Coronado. Jenny took off her rings to apply some lotion, and placed her rings in her daughters hat. The hat got picked up, the rings tumbled out, and they were swallowed up in the soft fluffy sand. Not knowing what to do, she approached the lifeguard and asked for help. The lifeguard called me to see if I would be willing to help. I assured him I’d be happy to, so, he had Jenny call me to make arrangements. After getting the particulars, I gathered my gear and headed to the beach. After lucking into a good parking spot, meeting the family at the site, I was shown the search area, got a description of the two lost rings, and went to “work”. On the first pass, first signal, (10 on my Equinox) one of her rings was pin pointed just under the surface. A foot away, I got another 10 reading, and my pin pointer went to work zeroing in on the other one. A happy Jenny can now head home with a complete finger. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Lost Wedding Band Reunited With Owner, Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Four years ago, Matt approached me while I was metal detecting offshore on a local beach.  He’d just lost his wedding band in the water and asked if I’d mind looking for it.  I was glad to help, and after he showed me the area where it was lost I searched for several hours but was unable to find the ring.  When it came time to leave I looked for Matt but he had left.  All I had was his first name and information he’d given me about the words that were engraved inside his ring.

Fast forward a year.  Detecting in the same area, just for fun and relaxation, I found the ring.  There was no doubt about it — the engraving was exactly as Matt had described it.  But what could I do to track him down?  I tried posting notices at the beach and on Craig’s List without success, then finally gave up, set the ring aside, and forgot about it.

I’m not a social media enthusiast but recently became aware of a social group for our town on Facebook, and I thought it would be worthwhile to try a post there.  Within half an hour after posting “Matt I found your wedding ring” with some appropriate details I had a call from Matt, who correctly identified the ring!  I arranged to meet Matt and his family at the beach and the ring was soon back on his finger where it belonged.  Matt said that getting his ring back after so long ‘made the summer for him and his family’.  The feeling was truly mutual.  I’m really pleased, and frankly somewhat amazed, that this finally worked out to be a successful return!

Lost Wedding Band, Pensacola Beach – FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Brayden called me on Friday explaining that he was out in the Gulf throwing football at Pensacola Beach when his wedding band came flying off of his hand. I talked him through what happened and asked him my standard questions about the time of day so I could check the tides, etc. We decided that I would come out the next morning at 7am. I got there and Brayden’s family joined him and explained that the young couple had only been married for 6 months. I said we definitely needed to find it so they could start off with a great story. We made our way to the beach and I got my bearings as I headed out to just over waist deep water. I slowed down and made my first turn as I pushed a big jellyfish out of the way with my scoop handle. I barely went another foot or two and got a great tone. Rarely am I confident on the first tone and first scoop of the search but sure enough, I looked into the scoop and saw Brayden’s gold wedding band shining back in less than 3 minutes. They were thrilled when I walked back up. I think Brayden’s dad said it best when he exclaimed, “we didn’t think it was even possible to find the ring in all that water, much less so quickly.” 😃 Brayden, it was nice meeting you. You have a great family. Good luck and God bless you all.

Ring Found On Lake Michigan Beach at South Haven.

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I was on the golf course with my brother-in-law, when I received a text from Ross, saying that his wife, Natalie, had just lost her wedding ring on a Lake Michigan beach after 16 years of marriage. I texted him back, telling him we could be there later this afternoon, and hunting partner Gregg and I arranged to meet the Fort Wayne, Indiana, couple at 6:30 to try to save their vacation at this gated community right on Lake Michigan. When we arrived Ross showed us an area of about 30 feet square where they felt the ring must be. Natalie had the ring in the front of her swimming suit, and she remembered going to the water’s edge once and bending over to touch the water. They were quite sure that was when the ring fell out of her swimsuit. After about 1 1/2 hours and many targets of tin cans beaten into globs of aluminum, we were just about ready to give up, thinking that the ring had been washed out deeper and we would have to come back another day when the water was calm. But I got one last iffy signal close to the water’s edge — that turned out to be the ring. We walked up to Ross and Natalie with sad faces and shaking our heads, but I walked over to Ross and handed him the ring without Natalie seeing me. He got down on one knee and presented the ring to Natalie. (Should have had a video of that). If this doesn’t choke you up a bit you are not human. This hobby never gets old!

Missing sprinkler solenoids

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by John and asked if I could find some missing sprinkler solenoids in the ground. I wasnt sure exactly what he was looking for but I told him I would try. At some point previously homeowner had sod put down and most of the access covers were covered. There was one solenoid cover exposed that I was able to pick up a metalic signal with my detector. When I detected a similar reading I put a screwdriver into the dirt to confirm the plastic cover. I found all five missing solenoid in about 1 hour.
