Double set of diamond rings recovered in Hess lake, Newyago, Michigan

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Mike S. called me late Sunday evening asking if I could find a diamond ring in about 5 feet of water that His wife, Beth, accidentally dropped off her finger while untangling the tubing ropes. She was holding the ring on her finger for a family friend, Megan P, who didn’t want to loose it while tubing. Dave Boyer, my Ring Finder partner, drove 40 miles North to Hess lake Monday morning and met Patrice P. who showed us the area that she thought the ring was lost. Patrice had been riding in the boat as the kids were tubing so she was sure about the area. Dave and I searched the lake in a triangle shaped area about half the size of a football field. The lake had zero visibility at the bottom because of the silt that was knocked around as we swung or detectors. There were dozens of hits but after 4 hours we gave up the search and said we would come back. I called Mike and asked him if he could meet us at the cottage the next day and reenact what had taken place. Mike agreed and said he would cook up some hot dogs and hamburgers for us.  We got up to the cottage and added another Ring Finder, Fred Johnson (Fred was going to be our ringer). It was around 4 PM so we got into the water and started our search. Mike backed the boat out and showed us how things went and that gave us a different perspective of an area that we had not searched. After an hour we still had nothing to show for our efforts so I started to search an area that we looked at yesterday and got a pretty good hit but was searching in a large hole that was dug the day before. I dug about three large scoops and checked in my scoop after clearing away decayed wood chips and a glob of sand, there it was. Mike was sitting on the dock and Dave and Fred was still searching and I started walking towards the dock and asked Mike if we could have those hot dogs and hamburgers (like I was giving up). Mike said “sure let me fire up the grill” and then I said is this the ring?  Mike was so happy he couldn’t believe it, he immediately got on his phone and said “they found it”!

Mike started up the grill, the food and conversation was great and stories were exchanged and pictures taken. I am happy for Megan, she got her ring back and happy for Beth to be relieved of such an unfortunate accident. Have a great Labor Day everyone!

Lost Engagement Ring Minnesota – Found

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)

Getting the word out about the Ring Finders website works great!

Jay and his fiancé Michelle visited Minnesota from New Mexico back in July. While here, they visited friends on Cedar lake and went for a swim. After the swim, Michelle noticed her White Gold / Diamond engagement ring was not on her finger. Jay went to Minneapolis Metal Detectors and rented an underwater detector. He pulled out a few targets, though he couldn’t find the ring. As he was returning the metal detector, the shop owner gave him the website of the “Ring Finders” – (I was actually in his shop early this spring and gave him a card). Jay contacted me from New Mexico a month and half later as he kept thinking there is really no chance of recovery. He finally decided to give the ring finders a try. After Jay described the conditions of the lake. Muck bottom, very weedy and no visibility at all – I decided to use scuba instead of walking with a scoop. The ring was in waist to neck deep water and scooping could be difficult. Scuba provides guaranteed recovery of every target and it’s much quicker. It took me approx. 1 hour and I found the beautiful ring – See Pic’s! 🙂

Glad I could help out Michelle and Jay – Hope you have a long and happy Marriage!!!

Lost Family Hierloom Wedding Ring .. Balboa Pier, .. Newport Beach, CA. .. Found

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Greg had taken his heirloom white gold wedding band off to put on sunscreen. When he and his wife got back to their car he realized his ring had to be in the sand. They could not find it with their fingers.
It was very sentimental as it had been his father’s wedding ring, passed down to Greg. Again, TheRingFinders.com came up when Greg googled metal detecting services.
Parking was a little troublesome, even though I have a annual Newport Beach parking pass. I’ve lived on the beach most my life, it’s always part of the price you pay to live near tourist destinations.
Greg met me, we walked a hundred yards to where he believed they had been. It was an easy find because he put me on the exact location. It was a matter of turning on the detector and swinging it a couple times. One ring hiding under about 5″ of sand.
Every search is unique. You can’t tell what you’re going to have to do or how long you may have to search. Sometimes people have very little idea where the loss occurred. At least I can offer to eliminate an area that might hide a valued keepsake. Allowing the person to direct their energy towards other areas the item could be..

Paying it forward

  • from Oklahoma City (Oklahoma, United States)

Got a call from a gentleman that was helping a local women’s shelter build a new patio in the backyard. Seems he and a few members of a local church were helping with the build and he was using a ground pounder to compact the dirt for the patio bricks and of course his hands went numb and he didn’t feel the ring fall off. They had looked and looked for it but he hadn’t noticed it was gone from his hand until after all the dirt was dug and the patio bricks laid. He called me and we set up a time for us to meet. After about 20 minutes I was able to find the ring. It was just below the ground at the edge of the yard and luckily not under the pavers!

River gold & palladium… Wedding band lost in South Surrey river.

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

I got a call from a young man Friday evening and the call kinda went like this…I found you on TheRingFinders.com and my friend lost his wedding band while taking wedding photo’s at a river in South Surrey…Do you think you can help?

I said sure thing and we discussed the time and day we’d go look for it. I was hoping we could take a look on Saturday but they would still be celebrating their big day.

That was good because I had a search for a 3 carat diamond ring that was dropped out of an apartment building 44 floors up ($5000 reward) unfortunately there was only about a 5% chance of finding that ring because it was a concrete jungle all around the area it was dropped.

I met up this afternoon with Sunny and his friend Sandy and they showed me where the ring was lost…I was surprised to see that it was lost off a dock! I thought it was close to the shore. Fortunately the tide was low and I was able to get into the water very close to the ring.

I received a good signal 6 feet or so under the dock and it was hard to try and dig the target so what I did was scoop towards me and after 10 minutes I found his beautiful ring!!!

I told him I was going to get out of the water and get another metal detector from my car,  but instead I presented him with his ring! I love the reactions!

Awesome Platinum Solitaire Engagement Ring Lost at Hermosa Beach, CA…Recovered and Joyously Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

P1000152P1000150

Yesterday, not long after finding the ring for Keith, I received a call from DJ who said his wife had lost her engagement ring at the beach just two hours earlier. I asked if they were still there, he said they were not, but some of his wife’s friends were still at the spot. I then asked if they could meet me there, and he said his wife would go and make sure she could show me where the loss occurred.

I was able to get there in about an hour, and walked out to meet Katie, DJ’s wife. She showed me to the area where the ring was lost, and as we got closer, I could see lines in the sand over a rather large area where they had performed a continuous grid search. I could tell they had been very meticulous in their search, but to no avail. I began to question her about the loss, and as she explained everything to me, I could tell that they had searched the wrong area. I began my search in the spot that I figured the loss occurred from my inquisition, and within about 5 minutes I was able to pull a 2 1/2 carat diamond solitaire engagement ring in a platinum setting out of my scoop to Katie’s shock, and the shouts of success from the friends and other beach goers that knew of the situation.

What a joy to bring joy to those in despair over the loss of something so meaningful in their lives, as you can see from Katie’s smile, and the communication I had with DJ after the recovery. The other important fact in this story is that Katie and DJ will be celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary in a week. What a great job!

Wedding Band Lost at Torrance Beach, CA…Recovered and Joyously Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

P1000149P1000148

I had spent the morning surfing yesterday at a local beach, and had just come out of the water when I checked my phone to see that I had received a text from Keith. He was wondering if I could help him find his wedding band that he had lost the previous day. I told him that I had to go and drop off my board and gather my equipment, and that I would meet him at the spot in an hour.

When I arrived Keith was waiting. He explained that he had taken the ring off to go into the water, and have his child come in closer to shore, because they had paddled out too far for his liking. He put the ring on the beach chair on a towel, but when he got back the towel was moved, and the ring was gone. They looked but were unable to find it. One of his children mentioned that he should buy a metal detector to search for it, but Keith figured that he had seen a lot of guys detecting the beaches, and thought that there might be someone who might be able to help him, so he turned to the Internet, and did a search where he was able to locate my number. That was a good thing because the area he was looking is so highly mineralized, it would have caused any inexpensive detector to false constantly.

I began my search, and then readjusted my detector to accommodate for the conditions, put the coil back down just bit lower in the search area when I got a good report from the machine. I put my scoop in, and there it was. I pulled it out to Keith’s surprise. It truly made his day that someone was so willing to come at such short notice, and it made my day to see his joy restored.

Lost Platinum, Gold & Diamonds Wedding Ring at Bellows Air Force Station…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

Bellows1
Bellows2
This ring find started when I got a call from Nicolas who is a CAPT in the US Army. While enjoying the day at the beach his wife Ashley put her Wedding ring in the pocket of their sunshade for safe keeping. When the day was over Nicolas shook the sand off the sunshade and started back to their campsite. Ashley realized she had left the ring in the sunshade pocket so they went back to the beach to see if they could find the ring. They searched methodically in the sand but no luck finding the ring. The next day Nicolas originally wanted to rent a detector and I convinced him it would be easier if I just came down and looked for them. I loaded my gear and we decided to meet in an hour at Bellow AFS. We met outside the gate and drove to their campsite. We then grabbed the gear and headed down to the beach. Fortunately although the beach was relatively crowded the area they were in was open. I surveyed the area then started my grid search. First & second target were sandy Lincoln cents, then a bottle cap. About 5 minutes into the search I got a great tone and because of the solitaire diamond I took a gentle scoop and poured it on the ground. I grabbed my pin-pointer and made a spiral search in the sand pile. That’s when the stunning ring exposed itself. I picked it up and handed it to Ashley. She was overcome with joy and said, “Thank you so much your my hero”. An applause rang out from all the nearby beach goers. I love this hobby! Aloha to Ashley & Nicolas!

Wedding Ring Lost in the grass at the University of Houston Campus-Sugar Land

I was contacted by Thomas regarding his lost wedding ring at the University of Houston College campus in Sugar Land. Thomas said he had exited the school’s library and was walking back to his car when he lost his ring. Thomas indicated he had reached into his pocket to pull out his keys, and in the process his ring was pulled off his finger and landed some where in the grass.

Check out the video to see the recovery of Thomas’ wedding ring.

Gold Cross Found and Returned in Lincoln, RI

  • from Woonsocket (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

A week ago, while vacationing on Cape Cod, I received a call from Leslie asking for my help.  Her mom, Phyllis, recently lost a gold cross in her backyard when the chain broke and was very upset over the loss.  The cross was a gift from her late husband, so it held special meaning to her.  As soon as I returned from vacation, I went to search for the item.  After approximately two hours of searching the yard and a compost bin, and using two different metal detectors, I located the cross in the lawn.  Phyllis is thrilled to have this precious item back with her!
