Lost Gold Wedding Band Thanks to Lawn Work – Recovered

  • from Nacogdoches (Texas, United States)
Contact:

On October 28, 2025 I was contacted by David, who stated he had lost his wedding band in his back yard and asked if I was about to try to locate his ring.  David provided me the details of the ring, time frame, etc.

Today, November 3, 2025 I met David at his house, he oriented me to the property then the hunt was on.

The yard was remarkably clean of metal junk, and the grass was short.  After 40 or so targets, BAM!  There it was. About 20 feet from the area he believed it to have been lost.

I snapped a photo, then returned the ring to David and his expression was priceless. Then to hear him exclaim “He found it!!”  And the excitement from his family… it makes this worthwhile.

David’s Ring Recovery, November 3, 2025.

Lost Wedding Band Recovered Coon Rapids Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Brett took a day for some fall clean up in his backyard. He was closing down the pool, getting ready for the long winter ahead. Shutting off the valves, his hands got wet with that freezing cold pool water of October in Minnesota. While shaking his hands off, he felt his platinum wedding ring slip off and heard the sound of metal hitting the concrete. He figured the ring either bounced into the pool or on the lawn next to the concrete. After searching the pool, he knew it had to be in the lawn somewhere. He searched and searched to no avail. This happened 3 years ago in 2022 and as life gets busy, he put the search on hold. Fast forward three years to 2025. Brett was chatting with a friend and his lost ring came up in the conversation. His friend said he had heard about a service that finds lost valuables for people. So, Brett searched google and theringfinders.com came up with my name & contact information. He gave me a call, explained the situation and I headed out to his place. I had Brett show me exactly where his ring came off and where he thought it might be. After years of blowing leaves, mowing the lawn, raking….it really could be anywhere. I started the search with my E-Trac metal detector and got a couple of high pitch “nice hits”, though I knew these were coins lost recently. Years of experience tells me that platinum gives off a nice low tone almost exactly as gold. I kept moving along the grass next to the concrete and I got a beautiful low tone in my ears. It was a strong tone also, telling me that the object is close to the surface. I knelt down, pulled out my Minelab pinpointer and figured out exactly where to dig. I dug a small circular hole only an inch or so deep, pulled back the grass and there was that beautiful platinum ring shining in the sunlight.

Congrats on getting your ring back where it belongs Brett, truly glad I could help out.

In the photos above a couple was laying out in their communities private beach and lost his ring.  Similar to 100 other recoveries that I’ve done it was placed on a towel and when the towel was used to dry off, the Ring went flying.  Once a ring hits the sand it’s almost impossible to find because the more you look for it the deeper it goes.  After Not being able to find it, they came across my information and gave me a call.  I was able to go out and help him find it.  We moved a bunch of the chairs around and there it was.

   In the photos above I received a call from someone who lost his wedding ring while doing some yard work and clearing brush.  He had recently hurt his finger and had it switched to his middle finger while it healed.  While working in the yard it flew off somewhere.  After over a hour searching both his yard and his neighbors I was about to give up when there it was, right in front of our face sitting in between the trees on a stump.  Sometimes you get lucky:-)

Ring Found Underwater by Rob Ellis and Ray Jones, Lake Anna, Virginia

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Smile!

 

 

 

Henok was having a great time swimming in Lake Anna, Virginia. Then he realized his beautiful (new) wedding band was missing. I called my friend Ray Jones, and we arranged to meet at the lake.

Henok and his friends had anchored a float where they thought the ring had dropped in twelve feet of water. Ray and I enjoy diving together for lost items, and it was his turn to search first. I watched from the surface for over an hour as he covered the area around the float. When he surfaced, Ray told me how easily the area silted out and that there were hydrilla weeds. But luckily, there were no underwater trees or other obstructions. With that information, I decided to use my homemade circle search device.

It meters out exactly 28 inches in a spiral, with a total diameter of thirty feet. It allows me to detect small items in low visibility water. I searched for an hour and a half, while Ray took his turn as the safety surface watch.

After a thorough search, I concluded the ring was not near the float. When we interviewed Henok, he told us where he had jumped in the water off the dock. Since the ring was not near the float, I decided to search that area.

I changed SCUBA tanks and used a modified jackstay line search. I searched back and forth, working parallel to the face of the dock. Withing fifteen minutes I heard a clear sound from my Deus 2 and uncovered Henok’s ring. It was only a few feet from the dock!

 

 

 

 

Ray and I were thrilled to return Hanok’s ring. After he left, we decided to get back into the water some fun detecting. We found some expensive furniture pieces and put them on the deck for the property owners. Then, Ray found two civil war bullets!!! What a great day!

 

 

For my metal detecting friends, here are the target identification numbers on the 4.5g, white and yellow gold ring: Deus 2=60, Equinox 900=25

 

I am an expert metal detectorist with the knowledge, skill, and experience to recover your lost items on land and underwater. Please text or call as soon as possible: (703) 598-1435

Lost Gold Ring Found in Saint Clair Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

He Was There for the BOOS…

and the trick or treats but when Halloween was all said and done, Mark’s ring was missing. Pulling a graveyard shift into dead of the night he didn’t want to turn into a pumpkin, so he stopped searching. Did the ring come off while passing out candy? Did it fall into someone’s candy bag? Or did it fall off earlier that day doing yard chores? He was spellbound by the eerie disappearance and got a toy type metal detector hoping that would work but perhaps brought about bats in the belfry trying to use it after no luck with it. Playing the devil’s advocate, I said there’s more than a ghost of a chance I’ll find the ring if it’s there in your yard. I started a grid search after finding out the area Mark was during the day. A few sweeps of the metal detector coil off in a grass area revealed his ring! I held it up and said here’s your boo-tiful ring! He said thank you and that he was scared stiff that the ring would not be found. I ghoulishly smiled and said I had a scary good time!

Lucky Day, Found Key at Dog Park

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

11/2/25

I got a call from a lady who had lost her Nissan Leaf key while walking in a local dog park. It’s a former golf course, and much of the area the grass is a little deep.

We met there and she showed me roughly where she and her handsome Golden Doodle had walked. Then she went home. I made many passes where I thought it might most likely be, with no luck. I was beginning to think someone had already found it and was trying to locate the owner.

Then I remembered there was a lot of freshly fallen leaves back near the parking lot. I worked that area and was nearly out of spots to try, when I got a good signal. There it was, hidden in the leaves!
