Lost Hearing Aid in Chilliwack, BC…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

I just got home from the diamond pendant search and made a late lunch when the phone rang, I answered it and a lady said is this TheRingFinders and I said yes  and she said could you find a hearing aid? I said its very difficult because its pretty much all plastic and a tiny battery, but yes I believe it could be found.

She said she lost it on her property up in Chilliwack, I said we have a member who lives close to that location have you called him and she said no. I said to her that it was a 2 hour drive or longer for me due to rush hour traffic and that she should try the member closer to her location. She said that she’d call him,  I said if you can’t get him call me back as it was going to rain the next day and I’d come out if she couldn’t reach him.

Five minutes later she told me she got the answering machine, so I was on my way! When we met I found out it was her baby daughters hearing aid and she has two and lost the one , I was able to test the one she had with my Whites PI and it got a good signal so I was confident I’d find it…

After 30 minutes and no hearing aid I asked her If I could test it with my detector again and this time… not a signal??? I got the AT Gold with the sipper coil and no signal???My bad! The first time we tested I didn’t check the ground before testing and there must have been a piece of metal in the area(LessonLearned) I had a sick feeling in my stomach and my last chance was the Garrett Carrot and it got a great signal on the hearing aid…Off I went on my but like a dog with worms sliding up and back on a grid and 25 minutes later…Bingo! I found out that just one hearing aid cost over $1000 so you could imagine how good it felt to find it before the rain came!

I love my job! If you’ve lost something and need it found please contact a metal detecting expert nearest your location at www.TheRingFinders.com

Lost Gold & Diamond Pendant in Cloverdale, BC…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

I got an email asking if I could help find a lost pendent the other day so I replied yes I can…We later take on the phone and arranged a time and place to search for the lost diamond pendant.

I showed up to a lovely neighbourhood and met the husband (Howard) of the lady who lost the pendant. He showed me the location and it wasn’t big but had its challenges due to the beautiful flowers and plants in the garden.

When this happens I use the detector in the area but not close to the plants then I come in with the pin pointer to search around the plants and bingo! There it was under a plant in only 1 inch or so in the earth. I love this job because its the best job in the world to be able to find peoples lost smiles!

I asked how he found me and he said while he was looking for a way to search for the ring himself online he found TheRingFinders Directory and thought he’d give it a try.

Wedding Ring Set Lost, Found, and Returned in Saint Petersburg, Florida

Anna Maria and her husband got into a small argument one evening about a month ago. Her husband decided to leave the apartment for a while to let things cool down. He made a last comment as he was walking away and it turned out to be the last straw for Anna Maria. She took off her three rings and threw them in his direction. It was dark so she waited until the next morning to look for them but had no luck. Over the next month she kept looking but never could find them. On the day of their 4 year anniversary she was feeling really sad about her lost rings and she decided to see if she could get some help. She googled lost rings and up popped SRARC. She called Mike and he tried to see if he could schedule a hunt for later in the week as it was raining cats and dogs. She really wanted to see if they could be found on her anniversary day and really wanted someone to come right away.

Mike headed out thinking he was going to get soaked but couldn’t turn her down. When he arrived the rain had stopped but Anna Maria was gone so he called her and got the location where she thought the rings (3) would be. It was in an area that was almost all hedge. He worked over the tops and underneath after shaking each bush. He moved away from the initial area and instantly eyeballed the engagement ring setting in the dirt in plain sight, probably uncovered by the rain. Along side the dirt area were more hedges and also a short strip of grass. After working over the hedges, he started on the grass. In a few moments the promise claddagh ring showed up hidden under the grass. Further searching sadly did not uncover the lost wedding ring. What fun it was to return two of her rings and see the smiles on Anna Maria, her husband, and her mothers faces. Mike will be returning tomorrow to spend a little more time to see if he can find the remaining missing ring. SRARC would like to wish Anna Maria and her husband a very happy anniversary. Two out of Three is not bad!!!!!!!!

Ring recovered at Lake Lansing Sailing Club, Michigan

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Scott W. sent me an email Sunday night inquiring about my services helping him find his wedding ring. I got back to him right away and made arrangements to meet him at the Lansing Sailing Club Tuesday morning.

Scott was spreading grass seed and straw over an area about 50′ by 50′. It was very muddy and had some standing water. Some time while spreading the grass seed and keeping an eye on his 4 year old child, his ring came off. Scott didn’t notice it until he got home. He went back to the club and looked for it but gave up and went on the internet and found The Ring Finders.

Tuesday morning Dave B. and myself introduced ourselves to Scott and set up our equipment.  I started a grid going East and West and Dave went North and South. There was an electronic dog fence running parallel to the property and giving me a lot of static on my F75 but I knew I was looking for a white gold ring on or just under the surface that would give me a good signal over the static. At about the 4th  sweep I got a hit just under the straw and there it was Scott’s ring.

Scott was happy and he were happy to have a successful hunt. We took some pictures and had a nice conversation and then headed back to Grand Rapids for the hour ride.

Platinum wedding ring lost at New Smyrna Beach, Fl. …..Found!!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from David asking me if I could help him find his lost platinum wedding ring in the dry sand at the beach. He explained that he and his Dad were heading to a beach side restaurant and as they were coming to the wooden stairway he felt his ring slip off of his finger. He immediately stopped and began running his hands through the sand desperately hoping to find his ring—but it had completely disappeared! He looked for sometime and finally realized he needed more help and that led him to search the internet. Up popped theringfinders.com . New Smyrna Beach is only an hour drive due east so I packed up my gear and hit the road. An hour later I walked up to David and introduced myself. I could see that David had marked the area by setting out two lawn chairs and his bags around an upright wooden post. He explained what happened and then asked me a few questions. It only took a minute to set up my Whites Dual Field and then I made two swings with my detector and I got a good signal. I paused and mentioned that generally during a search I get various signals and dig other items–like pull tabs, bottle caps, coins, etc… But this signal was very strong and had a slight double beep! (Large rings occasionally give that sound!) So I dug a large scoop of sand with my homemade digger, sifter and as I shook out the sand–there in the bottom was David’s 13 year old platinum wedding ring!
It’s always an awesome feeling to help someone find their lost item–expecially one as important as a wedding ring!
Have you lost an item recently?
Call me or send me an e-mail!
I am here to help!

Wedding and Engagement Ring Lost in the Surf – FOUND and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Matt at 7 this morning asking if I could help try and find his wife (Denise’s) wedding and engagement ring set she lost yesterday afternoon in waist deep water.

I got there about an hour later and Matt showed me the area and gave me a great description of where Denise was at when the ring came off. I started my grid and after 30 minutes I reevaluated where I was searching in comparison with the time and tide when she lost it. I moved up the beach, started a new grid and after another 30 minutes got a great signal. Bingo!!! Met Matt and Denise inside the hotel they were staying at because a heavy storm with lightening had come up and it wasn’t a good idea to be standing on the beach with metal in my hands.

Denise’s expression says it all and she stated “I thought I’d never see it again.” There is absolutely nothing better than finding someone’s special treasure that they thought was gone forever.

Matt and Denise thank you for trusting me to find your treasure and for the very generous reward. Enjoy the rest of your vacation with piece of mind.

Jim

Gold and Diamond Engagement Ring Lost, Recovered, and Returned at Fred Howard Beach in Tarpon Springs

Brittany was at Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs enjoying the day with family. She put her engagement ring on her bag so she could put sunscreen on her daughter. She looked up to see her young daughter running towards the water. When it was time to leave she forgot that the ring was on the bag. Packed up and headed home. Realizing later that the ring was gone she was… devistated. A friend of hers heard about it and contacted his friend and SRARC member Mark Prue. Mark couldn’t get away so he contacted another member Stan Flack. Stan and his wife Linda headed up to the beach to search. After an hour drive it only took 10 minutes for Stan to recover and reunite it with Brittney.
SRARC wishes her and her future husband all the best and are happy that we could make the journey a little bit smoother!
Thanks to the Flacks for being so willing to share of your time and talents.

Check out this newspaper article about a recent lost ring find.  This was a great hunt and proof that a ring is not always where you think it was lost.  We spent a good hour searching the inside of an animal pen looking for 45 year old wedding band lost while spreading a bale of hay.  After searching the area 2 to 3 times, multiple different ways for close to 2 hours – I asked where else Jim might have been the day he lost his wedding ring.  After 5 mins of looking in this different area, I spotted the ring.  I called Jim over and handed him my handheld metal detector and let him find it.  Check out the link below for the full story of this lost ring including video of the hunt – the expression on Jim’s face when he found his ring is priceless and the reason we do what we do.

Surfer lost car key at 17th St. .. Newport Beach, CA. .. Found in sand

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I just returned from a trip to Honduras. I was checking some of my local beaches for recent sand erosion when I was approached by one of our local lifeguards. He asked if I had time to help a surfer that had dropped his car key in the sand. I told him I was always available and clued him in about TheRingFinders.com on our way to meet Michael.
Although Michael didn’t realize when or where he dropped the single key he was confident that it had to be around the top of the beach, which we refer as the towel line.

Here’s Michael’s story:

FOUND KEY
Plodding through the sand after a surf, my automobile key somehow slipped out of my wetsuit. After continuously retracing my steps and searching on hands and knees in the sun for over an hour, I was ready to throw in the towel by asking a lifeguard for a phone. We spotted a person, about two-hundred yards away, waving a metal detector left to right, Mr. Stan Ross.

I have always been skeptical of the people who invest hours sifting through the sand; however, Stan made a believer out of me. He was jovial, yet professional, patiently asking questions and easing a stressful situation with understanding and confidence. He was methodical and took the time to interact and explain his strategy. In less than fifteen minutes, to my jubilation, I had the key in hand! If he showed this determination with a key, I would definitely want him on my team if I lost anything of sentimental value. I am very grateful, Mr. Ross, for your generous service.

Michael asked me if he could write me a testimonial. It’s letters like this that make my day. When I started metal detecting back in 1971, I had no idea that I could use my hobby to help people.. The internet also makes this possible.image

Platinum Wedding Band Lost at Manhattan Beach, CA…Found.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

P1000113P1000116

David called me yesterday evening, saying he had lost his wedding ring while playing volleyball at the beach, and wondered if I could help him. He was with a group from work that had traveled from Toronto Canada to participate in team building. I was just sitting in my easy chair, wondering what I was going to have for dinner, and told him I could be there in 30 minutes. I know it is so important to search for lost rings at the beach as soon as possible, because time is the one thing that works against finding them. We agreed on the location, and I was on my way.

David was waiting for me when I arrived, and we got right to the spot. As I asked my questions, he showed me where he was standing, and how he went to hit the ball before the ring flew off. He showed me the area he believed the ring would have gone to, which was when I told him it might surprise him, as to where the ring may have landed. This is because, sometimes the ring does things just the opposite of what we think it will do when it comes off of our fingers. I began the search, one line of the grid, and then went backwards from the direction he indicated to grid the second line, when at the middle of the second line I found his ring. He was surprised at the location, and that the ring was found so quickly. He was glad to have his ring back, and I was happy to have made his day.

If you lose your ring or other metal item of value, call as soon as possible. I will work hard to help you find what you thought might never be found again. I search,  Beverly Hills, Hermosa Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Seal Beach, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Venice Beach, and all parks, yards, gardens, and ponds (to 5 foot depths) in all of Orange County, all of Los Angeles County, and Ventura County.
