Meaghan contacted me wanting help in finding her daughter’s lost ring. Her daughter was playing with some friends in the grass of their yard when while making a spin, her ring flew off of her finger, and was lost in the thick grass. We arranged to meet, and I arrived at the time set.

When I arrived Meaghan met me at her gate, and took me to the back yard of her house. She showed me where the girls were playing when the loss occurred, and explained how they had searched extensively for the ring, but with no luck. I turned on my detector to begin the search, and she went in to the house telling me to let her know if I find the ring. I began my search, and after about 3 passes in the small area, I found the small ring. I went to the door, and let her know, to which she replied, “It hasn’t even been 5 minutes.” She was very happy to have it back, and it was nice to have another successful recovery.

SD card lost after drone crash.

  • from Mount Pleasant (Michigan, United States)

I got a call to look for an SD card from a drone that crashed into a tree in a farm field. Before going out I tested an SD card adapter and micro SD card with my detector to see what number I would be looking for. At first I wasn’t getting anything on my equinox 800, but I turned on the iron audio and was getting a bouncing signal from 3-5. When I arrived to the search area the gentleman that owned the property took me to a wooded area in the middle of the field. There were parts of the drone hanging from two different trees, so I checked directly under the one and found a few pieces of the drone. I seen that the other piece was higher and figured that is got to be where it hit first. The gentleman with me also said that is the most likely area where the drones owner said it should be. I went right to the area and began searching. I got a faint signal and looked in front of my coil and saw part of the adapter sticking out of the snow. The drone operator put me in the right place for sure.

Hoboken NJ, Wedding Ring Lost In The Snow, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Nicole sent me a text early in the morning explaining that she had lost a cherished family heirloom ring and hadn’t been able to find it. Understanding how important it was to her, I asked her to call me in about five minutes so we could discuss the details more easily over the phone.

She explained that a few days earlier, they’d had an early season snowstorm, and once the snow stopped, she and her family decided to take their dog for a walk at the local park. During the outing, somewhere along the way, the ring slipped off her finger. Nicole was heartbroken and desperate to find it, as it held significant sentimental value.

Nicole explained that the night the ring was lost, her family had been playing in the snow at the park. The dog was running around, and they were throwing snowballs. At one point, a snowball landed in her pocket, where her cell phone was. She reached in to grab the phone, pulling out a handful of snow in the process. Everything was wet, so she removed her glove to shake her hand dry, and that’s likely when the ring slipped.

When I arrived at the park, Nicole came down to meet me and walked me to the exact spot where she thought the ring had come off. She showed me her movements that night, explaining how she shook her hand, leading me to suspect the ring might have fallen to her right. I began searching a large area—10 feet in front, 10 feet behind, and about 25 to 30 feet to the sides of where she had stood—but I found nothing.

As time went on, I began to wonder if someone might have picked up the ring and not reported it. Nicole’s expression revealed her growing worry, and it was clear she was starting to lose hope. I asked her to go over the details one more time and show me the exact spot once again. This time, I caught onto something new: the possibility that the ring may have stayed inside her glove.

With this in mind, I focused on the opposite side of where we’d been searching and made two additional paths in the snow, similar to my earlier search area. And there it was—her beautiful family heirloom ring, just an inch beneath the snow.

Nicole was overwhelmed with relief and joy. She had nearly given up hope, but this moment proved that persistence and attention to detail make all the difference. Every small clue matters when it comes to recovering something so precious.

Maria called me and asked if I could possibly help them find a lost diamond engagement ring that was thrown into a yard by their house. At first she mentioned that her son threw it but I later found out that her husband was the one who tossed it during an argument while they were out for a family stroll. He immediately realized the error of his actions and tried to locate his wife’s lost ring and even rented a metal detector…but in the end he was very frustrated with all the noise and sounds and his lack of knowledge in knowing how to use such a machine. I agreed to meet Maria and her husband the next day and after showing me the area it only took 10 minutes to uncover her lost ring. They were so so thankful and I had a lump in my throat as Maria gave me a big hug and beamed a smile that melted my heart. Thank you Maria for calling me and allowing me to be a blessing and encouragement to you and your husband! It truly was an honor and I thank God again for leading me to those He wants me to help along life’s way!

Engagement Ring Lost in Cheektowaga NY Found in the Snow Covered Tennis Court

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Alex contacted us after running out of options trying to find his wife’s lost engagement ring. To make things more interesting she had actually lost two rings. Alex was lucky enough to recover the wedding ring himself but the engagement ring was still missing and that one was not going to be easy to replace.

The rings were lost the evening before during a walk with the dogs that somehow turned into a game of fetch inside a snow covered tennis court. Because apparently tennis courts do not take the winter off they just change sports.

Between the dogs running full speed snow flying and a lot of movement the engagement ring quietly slipped off and disappeared into the snow. It was not until later that night that the missing ring was noticed and the panic set in.

I showed up the next day and was able to locate the engagement ring quickly before it decided to spend any more time chilling in its snowy hiding spot. The ring was returned to a very relieved and happy couple.

Another successful recovery a great story to tell and a friendly reminder that winter tennis and jewelry do not mix.

Lost ring Nyack New York found in the snow!!!

  • from Nyack (New York, United States)

I got a call from Emely on Monday December 15th. She had lost her tungsten ring cleaning off her car after a snowstorm on Sunday the 14th. I couldn’t get there until Tuesday the 16th and I wasn’t feeling hopeful knowing the parking lot has been plowed after she lost the ring. She took me to the spot she had been parked at and even knew which side of the car she was on when the ring fell off. Amazingly, two minutes after firing up the Manticore I got a good signal in the snow pile where she had parked. There frozen in a chunk of ice buried in the snowplow pile was her ring! Made her day and mine!

Smoky Mountain Ring Recovery

A Smoky Mountain Ring Recovery: Kayleigh’s Story

Kayleigh had traveled to a cozy cabin tucked away in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee to celebrate her friend Haley’s birthday. With fresh mountain air, scenic views, and a balcony overlooking the trees below, it was the perfect setting for a weekend getaway.

But during the celebration, the unexpected happened.

While enjoying time on the cabin balcony, Kayleigh’s ring slipped off and disappeared into the unknown below. Anyone who has lost something irreplaceable knows the sinking feeling that follows. The excitement of the trip was quickly replaced with worry and disappointment.

Determined not to give up, the group made a trip to a local sporting goods store and purchased a metal detector, hoping to find the ring themselves. They searched… and searched… but without experience or the right equipment, their efforts came up empty.

That’s when Kayleigh’s mom stepped in.

Using ChatGPT, she searched for a professional ring-finding metal detectorist and was led to me through www.theringfinders.com. She reached out, explained the situation, and asked if I could help.

I couldn’t respond right away due to work but I contacted the VRBO owner and got his permission to come out the very next day.

The next day I packed my gear and made the drive—about 1 hour and 35 minutes—into the Smoky Mountains. Once on site, I used the detailed photos of the area to estimate where the ring was lost, I assessed the terrain below the balcony, and got to work.

About 20 minutes later, my detector gave the signal we were hoping for.

There it was—Kayleigh’s ring, recovered from the ground below the cabin. Another lost ring found and another story with a happy ending.

Now, with the ring safely in hand, I drove nearly two hours to meet Kayleigh’s husband so the ring can be returned where it belongs—back with its owner, along with the memories and meaning it carries.

This is why I do what I do.

Rings aren’t just jewelry. They’re symbols of love, commitment, and life’s most important moments. Being able to reunite someone with something that meaningful never gets old.

If you’ve lost a ring—whether in the mountains, a yard, a beach, or anywhere else—don’t give up hope. Sometimes all it takes is the right equipment, experience, and a little persistence.
