Lost Hearing Aid in Bryn Mawr PA, Found By Dave Milsted

Frank was out in his back yard, cleaning up debris from the latest storm. While throwing some branches into a waste pile, one of the branches caught him on the right side of his head, sending his very expensive hearing aid into the garden somewhere. He searched the internet and found me.

I called Frank on the way home from work. He told me the story. I know how expensive they are because I wear a set of hearing aids. I wanted to find it as soon as possible so it wouldn’t be exposed to moisture.

Frank wasn’t there when I got there. His wife showed me the area and had the other hearing aid for me to see & hear what I was looking for. It has a small wire, and I thought it might be stuck in a bush somewhere. It barely made a sound on both of the detectors, I brought with me, even after trying multiple settings. I searched for like 40 minutes without finding it.

I took out my small handheld pinpointer and tested it with the other hearing aid, a much better result. So I got on my hands and knees and starting searching. We were looking in a fern patch. These plants can easily hide a hearing aid. Fifteen minutes more of searching resulted in uncovering the missing hearing aid.

Frank was relieved. A set of hearing aids can cost well over 6k. His wife thought that I was going to give up. I told her I don’t give up easily. Social distancing prevented us from shaking hands or receiving a bro hug. The smiles on their faces were awesome.

I love my hobby!!

Lost Ring after Tropical Storm – Orange Beach, AL – FOUND!

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

Yesterday after work I got a call from a nice man named Nathaniel from Huntsville, AL. He and his wife were staying at Orange Beach and had already ridden out Tropical Storm Cristobal so they were really ready to get down on the beach and do some exploring. Sometimes after a big storm there will be tidal pools left after the surge takes out a bunch of sand and leaves the water in it’s place and that’s what Nathaniel was enjoying, throwing football back and forth when his wedding ring came flying off. When Nathaniel called me I went through my standard list of questions and the only thing I was worried about was that a gentleman on the beach with a detector had helped them look in the water for about 45 mins to no avail. It turns out that this was a Good Samaritan from out of town and might not have been familiar with hunting in saltwater. I told Nathaniel that I would be there in about an hr and not to worry that even if it took awhile I was prepared for a night hunt. I was secretly thinking that it wouldn’t take long to grid the tidal pool but when I got there I saw that it was easily the largest one I had ever seen on the beach. It was over 100yds by 100yds. Wow. 😳  Luckily, Nathaniel is a very intelligent guy and had immediately marked his position with landmarks and then walked straight out and marked his position on the sand with a beach chair. We had a great starting point. We went over a few more questions and as the rain poured down, I started my search. I could hear the disturbed areas in my machine where they had been digging, looking for it so with every step I was hoping to hear that gold tone. The first try was a no go so I asked a few more questions about whether he was throwing the ball hard or lobbing it, etc.  I expanded my search and started to see that tell tale sign of doubt and worry on Nathaniel’s face. I told him not to worry that I even had another detector in the car and if I had to I could grid out the entire area. He nodded and smiled a bit as I finished up the larger area with no luck. I came back over and asked him what he was thinking while he was watching me search and he said he was worried. Nathaniel is a big strong guy and he said he was throwing the ball hard so I asked him if he was throwing a tight spiral. He said of course 😄 so I told him that if he had followed through the ring may have flung to the other side towards shore. He said he had thought of that but he didn’t see it splash and he felt like it just had to be the other way. I smiled and politely told him my favorite line that “if they knew where it was, they wouldn’t need me.”  He laughed and agreed to let me do a bit of searching towards the waters edge. I went 3 feet and got a 12-37 which is usually a zinc penny on my machine but I never pass a good signal while searching for a ring and I always dig it very gently so I won’t damage the ring just in case. It came up in the scoop so easily that it didn’t make a sound and when I held it over to Nathaniel he just yelled, “YOU ARE THE MAN!!!”  Haha, that feeling of elation never gets old. It turns out that it was Nathaniel’s wife’s birthday and she was at dinner with family hoping that he would make it in time. When I found out I insisted that we make a run for it and they could send me pics later. As you can see, he made the dinner and I’m pretty sure his wife liked her birthday present. 👍😃. I’m so glad that I could help out, Nathaniel. It was a pleasure meeting you. God bless!

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

Timing is everything when it comes to looking for lost rings in a public area, especially if you post it on the craigslist. I got a phone call yesterday evening from a young man who lost his wedding band of 19 years while taking his keys out of his vest pocket. After discussing the search over the phone he told me there were two places where he reached in to grab his keys, one place was when he was on the sand, the other place was on a concrete walkway.

This gives me a 50-50 chance of possibly finding the ring for the young man, the fact that he placed it on the craigslist with the location might make my chances even less.  After talking to Jason for a little while I knew the beach pretty well and headed out to take a look for his ring, he lived quite far from the beach so I told him if he was comfortable with me going to look for the ring without him, I’d go and give it a shot.

When I got there the sun was going down and the tide was coming in plus I didn’t pay for parking so hopefully I can find the ring quickly. When I got to the location I phoned Jason just to make sure I was understanding where he came out of the water with his kayak and reached into his pocket. I set up my camera to do the video, to my surprise it was the first target I hit within seconds I was holding his beautiful gold wedding band.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was so happy that Jason’s ring was still there for me to find…

Lost ring in Eagle Mountain: found

Contact:

When Bob got married, his wife gave him a custom 18K gold ring. He has worn that ring for over 50 years. Last weekend, while watching his grandson play flag football, he discovered that the ring was gone. The family searched for hours, but they didn’t find it. Bob found The Ring Finders, and gave me a call. I met Bob and the family at the football fields with my metal detecting equipment. They pointed out the areas where they thought the ring could be, and after about 30 minutes of searching, I found the ring!

While he was growing up in Wyoming, Bob’s family hunted elk for food. This custom-made ring is a reminder of that heritage: two elk teeth are embedded in the gold. Over the decades, the teeth wore down and cavities formed. Since he loved the ring so much, Bob got a dentist family friend to fill the cavities. This ring is one-of-a-kind!

Lost Gold Ring Found In Yard In Detroit Michigan

From Father To Son….

…..Is quite an often spoken phrase most of us have heard perhaps at family gatherings. More commonly it’s referred to a particular trait, habit or skill that the younger man has naturally developed from the elder person. No doubt that the pictured gentleman has acquired much knowledge and skills from his father, but this story is quite the opposite. Something very sentimental to him was lost a few days ago.
Going back 30 years, shortly after his father’s passing he received his ring. Quite stunned and thankful when presented with it, for a few moments memories of the ring came to mind, memories of him, his dad and the ring his Dad was so proud of always being a part of what they did together from a single age all the way to manhood such as fishing, playing cards, catching a football, working on a car, and theatrical gesturing while socializing with friends and family. Now in the past 30 years the ring has become a huge part of his life, work and family in the same way as his dad cherished it.
As the COVID-19 virus restrictions are being lifted, many people are hurrying going about tasks to catch up on lost time. Somewhere in the yard while gardening the family ring slipped off. When I got on site I set up my MXT and ran a grid pattern. He and his wife thought the ring was sterling silver so I was looking for a high meter signal but would check all signals that sounded solid. No high read signals came thru but as I swept over some high foliage I got an all so familiar gold signal. Brushing the new mulch aside revealed this very handsome white gold ring!
His back was to me so I signaled to the wife that I got it. I said to him hey how’d this big chunk of metal get here, it’s interfering with the detector and has to go. He spun around and angrily marched over, looking down to pull it up he realized it was his ring! Lifting it from the earth he held it to the sky and said thank you! to his Dad looking down upon us. Happy with the ring back, and it’s gold!, he’s anticipating a wonderful Father’s day and a new story to share with his children and grandchildren for years to come.

Wedding Band recovered in Long Branch by Dennis Burlingame

Contact:

We all here at Ring Finders work together to make sure people are reunited with their items. With that Edward Cropski got a call about a lost ring in Long Branch but he’s a good distance away, he called Matty St Germain and he isn’t that close either so that where I come in. Matty asked if I would go ( i’m only bout 25 minutes away ) and I said yes. I called John and told him I was on my way. Seems John took off his wedding band to put on lotion, laid it on his lap then got up to get something and the ring sunk into the sand. After he noticed it gone he tried to find it with his hands with no luck. He found Ring Finders on google and called Ed getting the ball rolling. I got to the beach and he met me and took me where he was sitting. First target was a penny then swinging the detector a few more times I heard the tone I was waiting for and told John your ring is right here and sure enough I dug one scope and there was his ring. He couldn’t believe it. Another happy ending to his day on the beach. Great feeling giving back.

High School ring recovered in Belmar NJ by Dennis Burlingame

Contact:

Got an email from Rachael while enjoying the day at the beach she laid her high school ring on her towel then decided to move her spot. Forgetting she put it there it got lost in the sand when it fell off. I went right down to the beach after talking to her getting information as to where she was sitting ( she had already left the beach ) and couldn’t find it. Trying to remember and give me an area,  she was off some distance from where she really was. Called back and asked for more information she could think of. So with her email and new info I made arrangements with fellow RingFinder Matty St Germain ( 2 detectors are better than one sometimes, what ever it take to reunite someone with their lost item ) to head out together that night because he had a recovery himself a few towns away. We split up the area we figure it should be and Matty came up with the ring. Sorry to say we weren’t as lucky in finding Matty’s  recovery but that was lost 3 days earlier and the guy wasn’t sure how or where he lost it. Met up with Rachael 2 days later to reunite her with her ring. Her smile says it all, another happy ending

Found Ring in Aldergrove, BC.

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

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

I received an email a week ago in regard to helping a young lady find her husbands ring that was lost while throwing weeds over the fence in the backyard. After asking my typical questions I found out that the Ring had been lost two years ago, she saw something on Facebook about TheRingFinders that gave her the idea to call.

We talked for a while and she told me that they rented a metal detector but cannot find the ring, also that there were prickle bushes where the ring fell. I was very interested in the fact that the ring had been lost for two years and knowing that no one would’ve found that ring because it was just on the other side of the fence beside the road, nobody would be metal detecting for that ring there.

We made arrangements to meet in Aldergrove where they live, about 60 minutes from my house, in a weeks time. Today I met Justin & his wife Janelle & daughter, we talked a bit about where he believes the ring was lost and how it got there,  I was very confident I would find the ring so we set out for a little bit of a walk around the block to where the back of his fence was, thankfully Justin cut back the thorn bushes to give me a chance to sweep my metal detector over the area, I knew I was looking for a tungsten carbide ring so I brought a couple with me just to see a visual display number and show him how the detector works.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found a few bits of scrap metal and within 10 minutes alongside the road by a ditch and only feet away from his fence, I found his wedding band that was lost for 2 years & 10 minutes!

I love my job! I get to make people smile! Please share with your friends on your social media, tell them about TheRingFinders.com Sharing is Caring…Together we can find more smiles!
