I got a distress call early evening Saturday in regards to a lost diamond engagement ring in Chilliwack. After talking for 20 minutes we arrange a time and place to meet the next day, originally I was looking to meet around noon but the young man asked if I could do it sooner as his wife was struggling with the fact that she lost her engagement ring.

They even told me they bought a metal detector and search for it also 10 or more people walking by the time stop to help search in the snow unfortunately finding a platinum diamond ring in the snow is virtually impossible. The fact that they bought a metal detector doesn’t always mean they’re going to fine with Dave Lost. If you have never used a metal detector it would be hard to understand how it works and how to properly search for it. I have 50 years of a Metal Detecting Experience and lots of lessons I have learned over the years on wear rings turn up, it’s not always where you think they’re going to be.

After meeting the young couple they showed me where they believe the ring could be, they cleverly marked two trees so they could get back to the area… Very smart thing to do because sometimes people don’t always get you back to the exact area. After searching for close to 30 minutes and no Ring the young lady went to the second location she thought it may have come off her finger and that was by the lake, her husband stayed behind to watch me and shortly after I found her beautiful diamond ring and surprised her husband. We agreed to go to the lake and surprise his wife!

Lost Wedding Ring in Cedar City: Found

Contact:

Had another thrilling ring recovery this week! Most of the calls I get from theringfinders.com directory are up and down the Wasatch front here in Utah but this week’s call came in from Cedar City which is about 3 hours south.

Hayden reached out to me after a couple days of searching for this wife’s engagement ring. Jennifer had left the house to take an evening walk and as she rounded the corner, she felt and heard her ring fly off her finger. Fortunately, she was able to find her wedding band in the street just about 15 feet from where she felt the ring come off her finger. Her engagement ring was a white gold with a halo setting of diamonds. Hayden first went out and bought a metal detector but it was difficult to use. After talking with Hayden, my schedule worked out that I could head down that  day and look for the ring. I got in car around 1:30pm and got to Hayden’s house a little after 4pm with about an hour left of light. We made a few passes along the curb of the road but quickly realized we were too far down the road from where Jennifer had found her other ring. Once Jennifer described where she was, I was able to backtrack up the street and within just a few minutes, I found the ring which had jumped the curb and landed into the tall grass. When I pulled the ring from the grass, Hayden and Jennifer were so excited. Like most engagement rings, this one was very special to them and finding it before they were set to move from the house was causing a lot of stress and anxiety.

After a few smiles and hugs, we went to take some pics for this page and that’s when we had a little plot twist! Jennifer went to hand me the ring so I could get a close up and since it was so cold and the wind was blowing really hard, the ring fell out of her hand onto the street again. Only this time, it landed right in front of us but we quickly noticed that the center diamond was missing!!! Just after a few minutes of finding the ring, we were back looking for the diamond on the street. Jennifer had mentioned the prong on the setting was damaged and needed to be fixed. After about a ten minute search, Jennifer spotted the diamond and all peace and joy was restored lol. I truly believe it was a blessing that the diamond came out then vs sometime in the future where it would have been virtually impossible to find.

So after 3 hour drive down to Cedar City, followed by a 45 minute search, Hayden and Jennifer had their ring back with the lost diamond. I think the great thing about this whole experience is meeting some amazing people and hearing their stories. I got home a little after 8pm that night right before the snow started to fall. Everything just worked out perfectly and so happy Hayden and Jennifer reached out!

Metal Detecting Lost Gold Wedding Band in Burtonsville, Maryland…Found

Kristina’s Austrian 14 Karat White Gold Wedding Band Found After Three Weeks by Metal Detectorist Brian Rudolph in Burtonsville, Maryland

Kristina Showing Off Her Wedding Band After Member of THE RING FINDERS, Brian Rudolph, Recovers the Lost Sentimental Keepsake!

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

I received a call from a young lady named Kristina who lost her wedding band three weeks earlier. She told me that she was tending to her mums that were in planters out on her rear deck of her Burtonsville, Maryland home. There was snow and ice everywhere and she didn’t want the plants to be harmed by the outside conditions. Once Kristina finished her task of removing all of the frost from her winter white friends, she started to make her way back inside her place. Just as she opened the rear French door to escape the cold, the amateur botanist brushed off some excess snow that had gathered up on her right sleeve and then all of sudden Kristina felt her Austrian made 14 karat white gold wedding ring fly off of her left hand’s ring finger! The bewildered woman also heard a “ping” that quickly sounded following the release of the sentimental piece from her finger. As she recounted the story with me, Kristina went on to share that the ring was jettisoned towards the back of her house in the direction of the lawn that was a full level below her.

Kristina and her wife Kori believed that the ring had ricocheted off of the deck’s floor or from the top of the deck railing and fell on either the white pebbles and stones or somewhere on the grass below. Immediately the hunt took place but neither one of the ladies were able to find Kristina’s band. Over the course of the next 3 weeks, the two of them invested several hours of devoted searching, using two detectors: one that belonged them and one that belonged to their neighbor. Still, the couple was unsuccessful in recovering the jewel that seemed to disappear into thin air. They were so perplexed by the situation that they wondered if perhaps an animal came along and snatched it from their yard or that maybe somebody was walking their dog out back and just happened to eyeball it, failed to report it to the couple and simply walked off with the ring. During those several weeks, it caused Kristina to really scratch her head as the “mystery of the disappearing ring” could not be solved.

At some point during the conclusion of  the three week mark, Kristina went online and surfed the net for some additional help. She happened to come across a listing for THE RING FINDERS, an international directory of metal detectorists who are specialists in recovering lost items such as rings and other jewelry. That’s where I, Brian Rudolph, come into the story. The couple saw on the directory that I provided metal detecting services in Burtonsville, Maryland. I received the call from Kristina while I was at another search site and the very next day I was driving to my new client’s home.

As soon as I arrived, Kristina took me out back to see the “scene of the crime” so-to-speak. I met Kori and the two of them gave me all of the information that I needed to start the search. Because the couple owned matching rings, I metal detected Kori’s band to analyze the VDI (Visual Display Indicator) number that showed me how the machine would read Kristina’s white gold the moment that I would swing my detector over it. This was extremely helpful information to have during my search. I then returned to my vehicle, grabbed my necessary metal detecting equipment and returned to the back yard where I started the search on the second level deck.

Within minutes of scanning the rear deck (checking out each gap between the floor boards as well as all of the furniture to make sure the band didn’t end up around or between the cushions) I concluded that the precious metal did not remain on that level when it flew off of Kristina’s hand. It had to have landed below.

The next areas that I searched were the steps that led down to the ground level and a section of white rocks and stones that just cleared the deck area above. All of it appeared to be free of concealing my client’s keepsake. I didn’t need to detect underneath the deck because there was no way that the band could fit between any of the board, therefore, I could also rule out that particular spot on the property, as well. The ring had to have cleared the deck and landed somewhere along the parameter of the property that stretched farther away from the house. How far away? That question would soon be answered.

Knowing what Kristina heard immediately following the moment when she felt the loose “halo” slide off of her finger, and deducting the square footage that I had already searched, I took my investigation over to the grassy lawn just on the rear side of the property adjacent to the wooden stairway that led to the ground level. There were flagstone steps that led around the lawn over to the side of the house in the direction of where I had first entered from. That was the area that I would focus on and spread my search out from there if I still came up with nothing.

As I moved along the stretch of grass, scanning for metal with my detector in hand, I finally hit a great signal. Up to that point in time, I had little to get excited about. Yes, there were the occasional counterfeit hits on my detector screen that appeared to show similarities to Kristina’s ring, including pieces of metal that were settled on the surface and not buried below. However, they were all false alarms. Yet, this particular target that I was so intrigued about really resembled the VDI number that Kori’s band displayed on my detector screen during my earlier test. I eagerly knelt down on the ground to check out what my machine was registering on the screen, pulled out my handheld detector to help me zero-in on exactly where that piece of metal was hiding, and that’s when my face lit up with excitement! Just as I fingered my way through the blades of grass, there before my eyes, hidden below all of the brown and green plant life, I spotted the identical twin ring that I had been searching for all that time! It was located just a few feet from where the deck’s vertical support beams connected to the stairway that led to the second level above! In total, the ring traveled approximately 30 feet from where it initially flew off of Kristina’s finger as she was entering the house!

I was so happy to return the ring to its proper owner and witness the smiles that I had received following my surprise reveal! The couple couldn’t believe where I had found the gold piece because they had used their two metal detectors all around that section of the property and yet for three weeks they came away with nothing! I wrapped up the search in roughly 30 minutes or less! It just goes to show that having a metal detector or two doesn’t make you a successful detectorist! It takes many hours of learning, testing and experiencing the machine that you are working with in order to become proficient with it. I was so delighted that my ability to find rings for people everywhere in the Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, Delaware, Pennsylvania and West Virginia areas had also helped Kristina bring this “mystery of the ring fling” case to a complete close and thankfully with much success indeed!

iPhone lost in Cape Coral canal

  • from Melbourne Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I was skeptical when a call came in to me about a lost cell phone in a canal. Especially when I was out of town and could not do a search for over 24hrs.

But Jeremy and Shannon were even more skeptical!! They had traveled by boat to a popular eatery in Cape Coral. When exiting the boat the phone slipped into the water.

I tried laying on the dock and stretching as far as my detector could reach  but inevitably I ended up in the water.  Not only was the phone found but it was still on and working!

Lost Gold Wedding Ring .. Found in Time to Celebrate 50 years of Marriage

Mobile Metal Detecting Service .. Call Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

…  John lives in Lake Forest, CA., he had been gardening in his backyard the day he discovered his gold wedding ring was missing from his finger. He had worn that ring for almost fifty years. Although he didn’t discover it missing till later that evening while eating dinner. He felt that the ring had to be somewhere in the backyard because he not been anywhere else that day. 

Four weeks passed and his efforts to search the planters and small area of grass for his special ring were not successful. This week he and hid wife, Wanda were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. His son suggested that he try calling a member of TheRingFinders. That was how John found my contact information. 

I met John and Wanda that same afternoon. He showed me his backyard with several planters filled with beautiful flowers and other ornamental plants. The lawn area was small, maybe less than 40’x40’, but the ring could have been stepped on and hiding under the surface. John told me that he believed it could have been in one of the flower beds, where he had applied 6” of mulch. 

It took a while to scan the lawn and some of the flower beds with my metal detector. The ring did not show up. The last resort is to pull out the Garett AT handheld pinpointer (metal detector). By this time I was running out of areas to search. Using the pinpointer, requires crawling around on my hands and knees, poking the small probe into places the larger metal detector couldn’t penetrate. All the time taking care not to damage any of plants. 

I got half way around the planters to a small elevated water fountain, when I got a good signal from the detector. I had to bend down to see under the fountain and there was John’s gold ring. 

It was a good day and as I watched John looking and holding his ring I could feel the emotion of the moment. This is my reward for doing this, I have the experience, the equipment, the time and the Patience to help people find their sentimental keepsakes. Another day in Paradise

December 2021 Mani contacted me asking for assistance in finding his lost precious temple ring he has had since his childhood days. He told me that he had been throwing some snow balls outside of his apartment when his hands got cold. He then shook his bare hands and his precious ring few off his finger. His buddies had helped him get a cheap basic metal detector but he could not find his ring. The men then proceeded to dump a lot of hot water over the snow in a desperate attempt to melt the snow. With the below freezing temperatures it only make a huge frozen sheet of ice over the ground.

I was able to meet up with Madi and has friends. He explained that this was a very precious ring he had since child hood and that is has the Venkateswara Temple on the face of the ring. Being a medium size yellow gold ring I knew it wold not take too much time to find this one and after a few quick passes we had Madi’s ring back on his finger. He was very happy to have his ring recovered before all the snow melted bing in the middle of an apartment complex. He most likely has some nice honest neighbors but its just more stress and effort posting flyers and knocking on everyones door waiting for some one that might have eyeballed the ring days later.

Lost & Found Rings in Vancouver, BC

Vancouver Ring Finder Chris Turner- Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP  Anytime   778-838-3463

 

Today I got a phone call from a young lady who told me she got upset and threw her ring at around midnight the day before. She went on to tell me she knew the exact location and that they had been back twice that night searching for it, once with their phone flashlight and later with a metal detector they borrowed from a friend.

Unfortunately they couldn’t find it and wanted to have me come out and take a look, after talking for a little while I got in my car and drove out to meet the couple. One of the hardest things to do is tell a stranger that you got mad and threw your ring, well it happens and we are human! We get mad.

When I got there the young couple were just arriving we talked for a little bit and she walked me over to where she knew she had thrown the ring the night before. I asked my typical questions, she showed me where she was standing when she threw the ring and as she was making the throwing motion I look towards the area and we both saw the ring at the same time!  On the ground in plain sight! In the same area they were searching the night before with a metal detector and a flashlight, strangely it was just sitting there for anyone to see and people were walking on that sidewalk and could’ve easily found it before us.

 

 

 

 

 

I do believe in good luck and this was her lucky day! What a beautiful ring! The only thing I could think of was maybe the night before while they were looking for it they may have kicked a leaf over top of it and then it just blew away at some point in the day.

Watch the SeattleRingHunter recover a Diamond Sapphire engagement ring lost the same day received on Christmas Eve.

December 2021Marissa contacted me on Christmas day with an emergency engagement ring recovery. She was quick to tell her story sharing that the night before on Christmas Eve her boyfriend proposed to her and gave her a beautiful diamond sapphire engagement ring. Being that they were from Montana and amateur rock hounds they have a special appreciation for sapphires having found and process them in the past. So Levi her fiancé had a few special Yogo Sapphires purchased from Montana set on her engagement ring for that extra special touch. She proudly wore this ring on her finger and that evening they went to a late night Catholic Mass service. When she returned home late at night she got out of the passenger side of their car and then immediately she felt her ring slip off her finger and heard it land in the soft squishy grass below her feet. The weather had been very cold, it was dark and they could only do too much without stepping on the ring and risking damage. The next morning on Christmas day after an online search on how to find a lost ring in the grass they came across TheRingFinders.com and reached out to me for assistance. 

By the time she called me on Christmas day the snow had already started falling. Not having lost a ring like this ever before Marissa’s stress level was now maxed out over her lost engagement ring. I reassured her that with her knowing exactly how the ring fell off gave us a lot of confidence that it had to be in the grass or their car and I should be able to recover it. I told her I was currently in Olympia for Christmas day but would be heading home the next day. The search was set for the 26th and that next day I made it through the snow storm to their home by evening time. The snow had started piling up but all turned out well enough. I was able to quickly recover the ring in securely hidden under the fresh snow next to their parked car. Her new engagement ring was absolutely stunning and found undamaged. The couple was very happy to have the ring back in their own hands. After a quick inspection it was very quite obvious the ring was over sized. She was precautioned to take the ring as soon a possible to a jeweler for resizing for a proper fit. She absolutely agreed not waning to loose it a second time.

Lost Red Coral Ring Received From Parents During Childhood

  • from Mercer Island (Washington, United States)
Contact:

   

SeattleRingHunter Lost Item Recovery Specialist LAND & SCUBA Call 206-618-8194 ASAP

November 2021 A gentleman contacted me asking for assistance in finding a ring he just lost from his childhood. He went on to explain that he had been raking leaves from his yard and a very precious keep sake give to him by his parents had slipped off his finger and gone missing. He told me that this ring is common in his home land of India where a copper ring with a red coral gemstone is mounted in such a way that the suns energy can shine through the red coral and radiate positive energy into the beholder who wears the ring. Copper is also used as its know to be a good conductor of energy and so this is the tradition that has been carried on for some time. He said he always enjoyed the ring so much that he has had a jeweler resize it several times. All though not an expensive ring, it has a lot sentimental value and he would very much like to get it back. He explained that he had a smaller yard and still had the yard waste bin full of leaves. With this I sprung into action and met up with him at his residence.

One of the areas he had been cleaning up leaves from was just outside of his back yard fence where a Seattle city sidewalk is. He also told me he was not wearing gloves and felt that it could have slipped off his finger at any time as he picked up piles of leaves with his bare hands.  We both had a strong feeling the the ring might be inside the yard waste bin. However I always prioritize my search efforts to public areas first then easy access areas next as low hanging fruit before taking on other places that require more effort.

After a quick scan around the landscaping and public sidewalk with no ring found I moved to his back yard and searched his lawn. The search of his lawn took a bit more time but after this I was confident our next step was to tackle his yard waste bin. I came prepared with a tarp and he sourced a second one from his garage. We laid the tarps down to make our clean up effort a little easier. I dumped the full bin of leaves out onto of the tarps and started scanning the pile of leaves. Within just a few minutes I located his beloved childhood ring and presented it to him. He gave a big smile showing his appreciation to get his ring back after almost loosing it to the yard waste bin. Together we made quick work in cleaning up the leaves and the yard was back in tip top shape in no time.

Another item of personal value returned and another smile found. It was a great day to help this gentleman out.
