Property Survey Marker in Hamilton NJ Found by Dave Milsted

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

I received an email from Mark who asked if I could help him find a missing Property Survey Marker.  It was marked a year or so ago with a little flag but has since been moved by a neighbor.

We set up a time for the upcoming Saturday. The weather was perfect for a hunt. I met Mark and he showed me the area that he was searching in. The grass has been matted down pretty good from all of the foot traffic and hand & knees searches.

I got my CTX 3030 and started the search. I think I swung my machine twice before getting a good hit. Dug down with my trowel and unearthed the marker. The whole search took less than 1 minute. It took longer for the machine to turn on then it did to find the marker. Mark was searching about 6 feet away from where the marker was located.

If you have lost something metal in the South Jersey Area, including Southeastern Pennsylvania or Northern Delaware give me a call. Save yourself a lot of frustration trying to find it on your own or wasting money trying to rent or buy a metal detector. It takes years to learn how to use a metal detector properly. You can reach me at my Ring Finders Hotline (707) 706-3626 or metaldetectingman@gmail.com

 

Found Jewelry Amongst Glendale Fire Ashes

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)

  

Mike lost about 60-70% in a fire in Glendale, CA a couple months ago. He got ahold of me through the RingFinders website and chose me due to my fire recovery experience from many previous fires. I pulled up to a large two story house up in the mountains. Once he showed me where his mother’s closet was, where a lot of the jewelry had been stored, it seemed like the majority of the second story and the roof had collapsed onto the first story. So I made a grid of the area, set up sifting screens, and methodically started to shovel material into the screens from one corner of the house to the other. After a short amount of time I began to find glass crystals which were remnants from a large chandelier, and many other artifacts that the family had from previous generations. After a couple hours of digging, I recovered a small, melted box that held many pieces of jewelry including a beautiful large, white gold cross covered with stones. After a little more searching, I made the plan to come back another day during daylight. About three weeks later after the heavy rain had died down, I returned to the site. Hesitant to climb a ladder to the second story, with a rickety burnt out floor and no roof, I started the same process on the second floor for other lost jewelry from a bedroom bureau. Right away I began to find earrings, charms, medallions, and many charred coins. I couldn’t find everything they had lost in the fire, but recovered everything that I could, that I could safely get to. Mike was very happy to call his wife and mother to tell them about the recovered jewelry that they believed was lost forever. They are looking forward to rebuilding their lives in a newly modeled home.

Lost Rolex Gold Ring in La Verne, CA Returned

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)

A few days ago I received a call from a high school student named Nick. His father passed away just under 6 months ago, and his mom gave him his father’s ring. He was really distraught, Nick called me asking if I could come over after he got out of school. I went to meet him the next day. His friends were throwing a football in the front yard and that’s when the ring got lost. The whole yard was covered in bushes and tall leaves, making it difficult to find the ring.  I used my metal detector to search for a signal, but there was a lot of dirt so I had to rake it up and sift it through my sifting screen. After about an hour I got a weak signal from one of the big leafy bushes near the front and moved the leaves out of the way to get a better visual. There was the ring, sitting there with a big Rolex symbol on it. I was very happy to return the sentimental ring to the young high school boy, who was happy to have a piece of his father with him forever.

Lost 1980 Texas Aggie Ring (found) by Chris Dean TRF, Kerrville, Texas

  • from Kerrville (Texas, United States)

Jeffrey lost his Texas Aggie class ring renovating a 1940’s house. When he searched the web for Metal Detector Kerrville, he was surprised to find the first source was TheRingFinders.com. Jeffrey called me and said he knew he was wearing his ring en-route to the house and felt sure he lost it in the yard while there. On arrival at the house I realized this might be a daunting task as reconstruction was in full swing – building debris, roofing materials, and plenty of workmen everywhere! Jeffrey explained to me what he was doing and the approximate paths he had taken the day the ring slipped off his finger. I was able to search the perimeters of the property but due to the amount workmen around the house I had to return after hours.  Upon return in the evening with my Garrett AT Pro, I was able to detect (along with a lot of roofing nails) Jeffrey’s Gold Ring buried below the surface near where the debris trailer had been. It had certainly been stepped on many times. I called Jeffrey and asked him to describe his ring and then I told him “I found it”. He exclaimed “OMG, I Love You” and then said ” I don’t really love you but I love you!” It’s amazing what people say when you tell them you found their lost ring and even more amazing seeing the smile on their face when you return it, which I was able to the next day.

If you loose your ring, jewelry, keys, cell phone or other valuables don’t rent a metal detector. Contact a member of the TheRingFinders.com. We are professionals that use our knowledge and the best equipment to reunite you with your lost items.

A Most Beautiful Rose Gold Solitaire Wedding Ring Lost at Hermosa Beach, CA…Found and Back Where it Belongs.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I had been away from my phone for a little while today, and when I turned it on, I saw that Faith had called and sent me a text about her lost ring. I called her immediately, and apologized for not getting back to her sooner, but started asking the standard questions about the loss, where, when, what were you doing when it happened, as well as some others. I was just 30 minutes away, and got on the way, because she told me she had to go to work in 2 1/2 hours.

Faith is a Flight Attendant out of Washington state, and was on layover for a while, so she decided to enjoy her day at the beach before boarding the plane home. She got out the sunscreen, put her ring in her shorts pocket, and proceeded to enjoy the day. When she got ready to leave she picked up her shorts, and her credit cards fell out, she picked them up, and walked over to the strand. When she got there she realized her ring was not on her finger, so she went back, and began a search where the cards had fallen. A couple of gentlemen joined her in the search, and she searched for about 3 hours before finally finding my number and giving me a call.

When I got there, I set a grid, and began searching. I could see where she had been searching by the condition of the sand, but began my search outside of that area to be sure I covered everything. The beach was pretty clean, I found a penny, and some piece of plastic with a couple of screws in it. I got to the area of Faith’s search, I was about to pass my coil over a patch of sand, when I looked down, and there laying on its side in full view was her ring, with its almost 3 karat diamond staring up at me. The color of the rose gold worked almost like a camouflage in the brown sands. I picked the ring up in the scoop, turned to Faith, and pulled it out. She looked, hesitated, and then asked, is that my ring? She came right over, gave me a big hug, and of course, it was certainly a pleasure to see her face lit up with a glorious smile. Faith will sleep well tonight, and her smile will be forever emblazoned in my mind; GREAT DAY!

Searching for “Benjamin and Cecilia 10-09-16” Lost Ring

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)

Searching for “Benjamin and Cecilia 10-09-16” Lost Ring

I was contact by Cameron Jones from Iowa who told me he had recently been on a vacation to in Key Largo, Florida. Cameron said while on vacation he took a snorkeling trip to a popular dive location off of Key Largo. He said while snorkeling at this location he found and recovered a wedding ring that had been lodged in some coral. Cameron said the dive site was far from shore, and likely lost by another person from a previous excursion. Cameron said he has tried to find the owner…posting on Facebook with no success…additional research brought him to The Ring Finders.

The inscription reads “Benjamin and Cecilia 10-09-16” followed by two very unique symbols.

If you could take a minute and share this with your friends!

Lost wedding Ring found at Strouds Run

  • from Marietta (Ohio, United States)

I was contacted by Derrick and we made arrangements to meet on 4/21/17. here is a quick summery of the days events in his words;

About seven months ago I was playing volleyball at a local state park with a few members from church. It was a hot day, and my ring which was a size too big would often slide off my finger. After about an hour or so I noticed my ring was missing. My friend and I looked all over and were unable to locate it. The following day I purchased my own metal detector to try and find my ring, but I had no luck. 

I contacted The Ring Finders in hopes of throwing a Hail Mary. Steve did a phenomenal job and was committed to finding my ring. It took him all of four hours to locate it. The ring was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend these guys. 

Thanks Steve & The Ring Finders

Wedding Ring Found in Huntington Beach

  • from Sunset Beach (California, United States)

On August 9, 2016 Amy had posted that she had lost her wedding ring three days prior on a Facebook Community Forum I belong too. I immediately reached out to her and told her I could help her find the ring. She told me the diamonds were her Husbands Grandmothers and they had them set into a new custom made ring. We arranged to meet at the beach where she removed the ring to apply sunscreen. Luckily she had a good recollection of the area they were sitting. After about 30 minutes of grid searching I found her sentimental ring. Amy was so thankful, she contacted me the next weekend and invited me out for dinner with her family.
