Lost Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Hickam Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:


This ring find began when I saw a text on my phone from my wife that said call Hillary at Hickam Beach she lost her ring again. I just came in from a scuba dive hunt so I was packed for whatever scenario came up. I called Hillary and she said remember me you hunted for my ring last year at Ko Olina and now I’ve lost it in 1 foot of water at Hickam Beach. I told Hillary no worry I’ll be there in about 30 minutes. When I arrived Hillary showed me where she was holding her toddler son’s hand in the water and the ring came off. The tide was up and the shore surge was fairly significant. As light as the ring was it could have been pushed up onto the beach. Only an hour expired since she lost it so I figured not much movement. I went from waist deep to up onto the dry sand line but only found 2 pull tabs and a quarter. I asked Hillary again to explain to me how the ring came off and we decided it possibly had gotten flung rather than a straight drop into the water. I told her I would go out to chest deep water this time. Low and behold straight out from where she thought she lost the ring in 3 feet of water I got a screaming target and there was Hillary’s gorgeous engagement ring. It was a good 15 feet out from where she thought. Then I handed her the ring, she gave me a big hug and that bright smile. That’s what its all about. On a side note Hillary has used TRF three times once with our guru hunter Justin. I told Hillary your a beautiful girl but I don’t want to see you again!!! Aloha to Hillary!

Custom Silver Ring Lost at Venice Beach CA…Recovered and Happily Returned.

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

I received a call from Antony last night, he was desperate about his ring he lost at the beach just an hour earlier. I told him I would go as soon as I finished my dinner, knowing that the sooner you search at a public place, the better the odds of finding what was lost.

Antony met me at the location, and explained how the loss occurred, and what metal the ring was made of. He said that he was walking his dog, and threw the leash when the ring flew off of his finger. He also told me it was a silver ring. Now I have had enough experiences over my time of doing ring searches to know that not everyone really knows what metal their ring is, so I dug everything that sounded gold or silver, and everything in between, I did not want to miss his ring. He told me that a friend had made it custom for him, and that his was 1 of 4 this person had created, and he would be heartsick to have to tell this friend he had lost it. I searched into the night with no ring, and it was getting so late that I decided to call an end to the search, because of the area (it can get pretty criminal late in the night). I told him I would come back in the morning to complete my search, and expand it if necessary. I did ask him if there were any identifying features or engravings on the ring, and he immediately said, yes, it is a skull ring. I figured, if I dug it I should recognize it with no problem.

I got there this morning, and Antony met me again. I began a cross grid of last night to make sure I had not missed the ring. My search last night had been very thorough, there was no ring. I then began to expand the area, and after about 4 more passes I got a real strong silver signal in my head phones, and in the sand I had scooped out was the biggest, heaviest silver skull ring I had ever seen. It really looked like pirate treasure. He was right it was silver, and his ring must have had 2 to 3 ounces of silver in it. Antony had left while I was searching, so I called his phone to let him know I had found the ring, but the call went into voice mail. I left a message hoping he would get back to me, but no reply. So I just kept detecting, because I could see his car, so I knew he hadn’t left the area. About 45 minutes later he called me to let me know he was coming, and when he arrived and saw his ring he was elated, gave me a big hug, and told me he had been getting a hair cut. Good to be looking nice when you are really happy. Another great day, being able to make another great smile.

If you lose your ring or other metal item of value, call as soon as possible. I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, 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.

Sentimental Good Ring Lost in Sand .. Marina Del Rey, CA. .. Found with Metal Detector

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

Samantha had been visiting with friends that live on the beach front. The night before calling me she had run out onto the sand. Throwing her arms in the air, she felt her ring fly off her finger. It was a gold ring that her mother had worn for years before giving it to Samantha.
We had a lot of things in our favor that could make this a successful search. First, was the ring had been lost within the last 12 hours. Second, was Samantha had actually felt the ring leave her finger. Third, was they had a good recollection of the area, which was about 150′ x 150′. It was also an area of the beach that doesn’t get raked very often..
After Samantha explained what she had done when the loss occurred, I chose to start from the beach side, gridding in the direction of the walkway. A lucky choice, because on the third pass I got a nice gold tone from my new XP Deus metal detector. After digging the signal, there was her ring in my sand scoop.
Hugs from Samantha and her husband, Jason. Big smiles and another happy day for all..

Lost ring in Lake Baldwin, Orlando, Fl……Found!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Can you imagine it’s your wedding day and everything is ready?! The chairs are all set up, the guests have arrived and the ceremony begins. It’s the perfect day to be outdoors, in the gazebo, on the lake. And partway through the ceremony the bride’s sister-in-law is holding the rings in a small box and just to make sure they are ready, she opens the box and somehow the brides ring drops to the deck and bounces off into the 9 foot deep water! Stunned and in shock, she cannot believe what just happened. After the ceremony the sister-in-law actually jumped into the cold water hoping to be able to retrieve the ring, but with all the weeds and soft muddy bottom, plus being 9 feet deep—it was hopeless!
Nichole contacted theringfinders.com and made arrangements to have someone meet her and attempt to recover her ring. Much to her dismay the first members search proved unsuccessful. And after looking further on theringfinders.com website she read some of the stories posted under my blog and decided to give me a call. I assured Nichole I would do everything possible to get her ring back. My first step was to call a good friend of mine, named Chris C.. He is a certified diver and has a passion for diving. A few days later we made plans to meet at the lake, suit up and find Nichole’s lost ring. But the cold water, the soft muddy bottom and an absolutely ton of weeds growing up through the mud made searching very difficult. It was impossible to actually swing a metal detector along the bottom so I opted to use my Garrett AT Pro Pointer to go inch by inch through the mud. (Nichole had shown me the precise area where the ring fell into the water so it was a matter of removing all the metal targets to be able to find her ring.) Every 5 inches I would get a signal–fish hooks, lures, coins, bottle caps, screws, nails and even a water logged cell phone and a small stainless ring were just some of the items retrieved in the 40 minutes under water. Then finally, in a hand full of mud, up came Nichole’s lost ring! It was hard to contain my excitement as I added some air to my BC and headed to the surface. What a thrill! I called Nichole and asked her if she was sitting down and then gave her the good news! She could hardly believe that we had actually found her ring and insisted I send her a picture just to make sure it was really her ring. Thank you so much for your generous reward and thank you Chris for the use of your equipment and for giving me a taste of what diving is all about! I plan to get certified and look forward to other underwater searches!
Lost something recently? Give me a call—ASAP!

Car Key Found In The Snow In Montpelier Vermont

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

Got a call a couple hours ago from a young man in Montpelier, Vt. He had been out for a walk yesterday with his dog and was pretty sure he lost his car keys then. Since his walk the snowplows had come and piled up the snow. He worked hard shoveling through the snow and had no luck finding it. He and his Mom had recently bought a 2013 car and it only came with one key. They checked into getting another one and was told they would have to have to car towed to the dealership first, and then it would cost $300 to have another key made! So, they thought about buying a metal detector and found to buy a decent one would cost much more than having a key made. So, he looked online and found my detecting service. I went right over. He was out there in the freezing rain with his shovel, spreading the snow out. His Mom helped search too. After about 3/4 of an hour, I found it right near the front doorstep. We were all very happy to see it! It was a fun search and we had a nice visit.

Lost Platinum & Diamond Wedding Band Recovered! Linthicum Maryland.

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

It had been a while since I received a call from someone in a panic after losing a ring, but that changed about a week ago when I was contacted by Bill. He told me that while he was getting items out of his truck 2 days prior, he not only felt, but heard his ring hit the ground. Thinking it would be in the immediate area where he was, he began to look on the asphalt parking lot, the curb/gutter area and the sidewalk/grass area adjacent to the curb. After hours of searching he came up empty. Thinking it must have rolled into the storm drain a few feet away, he pulled the grate and hopped into the hole. Again, after searching through the debris and leaves, he came up empty. He then started questioning himself if he had actually heard the ring hit or if it was wishful thinking. At that time, we made plans to meet the following afternoon.

Upon meeting Bill the next day, the first thing he said was “Thanks for coming out to do the search, but I really don’t expect you to find it”. “I’ve spent hours and hours in this area and simply don’t think it is here”. I told him if I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I’d have about $50! I then got to work and after doing a quick search with my detector over the grassy sidewalk area and coming up empty, I decided(after surveying the immediate landscape) to go own into the storm drain as Bill did a few days earlier. The big difference this time was that I had my state of the art equipment with me along with years of experience to use it effectively. Within a few seconds I hit a target signal. I proceeded to move some leaves aside and BAM!!! There it was!

As I’m climbing out of the storm drain, Bill, who was loading items in his vehicle, gazed over with a look that said, “I told you I already looked down there.” I then walked over to him and said, “I think this is yours!” Needless to say, he was shocked, amazed and grateful all at the same time!

Bill actually played a huge role in helping me recover his ring. He gave me a detailed description of exactly what happened and contacted me quickly. One big rain storm and this ring would most likely be gone for good.  Length of time is not always that critical, but in this case it definitely was.  As always, I’m happy that another lost ring is back where it belongs!

Diamond earring recovered in Grand Rapids, Michigan

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Rebecca called me Saturday to see if I could help find her mothers diamond earring. She had gotten my name from a friend referral. I was in Chicago at the time of the call and told her I would call her mother on Monday to set up an appointment. Sunday evening Rebecca’s mother, Deb D., gave me a call and we set a time to come out to her home to look for the earring.

This was an unusual search as it was inside the home. I have had several searches in homes but it is a lot of detective work as opposed to metal detecting. Deb removed her earrings in her bedroom as usual and placed them in a small box on her dresser, at least that is what she usually does. This time she took a nap and after the nap took her earrings off and that is when she discovered one was missing. Her husband Fred and her got down on their knees and look all around on their deep pile carpeting in her bedroom to no avail. Deb called her daughter, as these were given to Deb for their 50 wedding anniversary, and told her the bad news. That is where the call to me started.

I asked Deb some questions like did you take them off in the bathroom over the sink? (maybe fell in the trap) When was the last time you know you had them on, etc? We got a flashlight and began the search keying in on the bedroom. I search by feel in the pile of the carpet creating a grid a couple feet at a time, looked under the dresser and then under the bed all the while feeling for a small hard object. Fred and Deb looked in the same area but found nothing even by placing the remaining earring on the carpet to compare what it should look like, it blended in very well. After a search on one side of the bed for ten minutes the earring was found in the carpet pile next to the night stand.

After the earring was recovered we took a picture for our book of smiles, had a cup of coffee, talked about retirement, family and travel. Deb could not stop smiling she was so happy and Fred was very relieved to have this episode behind them.

Ring Lost at Fire Pits .. Huntington Beach, CA. .. Found

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

Maria’s dad walked up to me as I was walking out on the beach to do some metal detecting. His daughter had lost her ring near the fire pits. Most fire pit areas have many pieces of metal trash but this was not a problem this day.
It was an easy search because they were still in the area and it happened within the last two hours. A couple swings with my Minelab CTX detector was all it took to get this great smile from Maria. Her dad was also a hero for finding me and asking for help.

Diamond Engagement Ring Lost in Barnyard .. Costa Mesa, CA. .. Found in Muddy Grass

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

Casey called me asking if I could help her friend find a ring that was possibly lost in a stable area on a small ranch property. I told her could be there in 30 minutes.
She sent me a address where I could meet her friend Michelle. This property is a small ranch in Costa Mesa, CA., that has stables set up for 4-H projects. Michelle and other parents were helping clean up stalls and pens for goats and chicken projects.
She had taken her 14 year old engagement ring off putting it in he back pant pocket so she could put on gloves. A couple times during the day she also put her gloves in the same pocket. Her thought was that the ring came out when she removed the gloves from her pocket. Where and when was the question? Michelle even told me she was worried that one of the goats could have eaten the ring. I told her to stop this thought, we had to first eliminate all the dirt and grassy areas the ring could be hiding.
I did a warm up lap on a dirt area before proceeding to the most likely location which were the stalls. As I walked the wet grass towards the stalls, I got a nice low tone that was worth bending over to check. Put my pinpointer into the grass and spotted the back edge of the beautiful diamond white gold/platinum ring.
It was one of those easy searches but it could have taken much longer. She had been all over the property that morning.
If it were not for Michelle’s friend Casey, helping to set this up this could have gone another direction. It could have been a very miserable night at the least, if we didn’t on top of this right away. Michelle and Her husband Mark expressed how grateful they were and thanked me for helping them.
