Proposal Gone Wrong .. Venice Canal, Venice, CA. .. Ring Found and Returned

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

Rohilt had chose to propose to Jasleen on a footbridge at historic Venice Canals in Venice, CA. His best friends were there to record the moment in a video. He dropped Platinum Diamond engagement ring on the bridge and it bounced through openings in the planks and into 5 ft. of water. Panic set in, the next day was going to be a traditional two day family celebration of their engagement. Family members from all over the country were traveling here to congratulate them. They got online and found TheRingFinders.com.

When I received the call it was dark and I asked if they could meet me in the morning. They told me that the celebration was tomorrow. I agreed it be worth a try tonight, at least I can get to see the location and conditions I have to deal with. After arriving and checking the depth of the water. It was about 5 ft which is about shoulder high. It would be worth waiting for the tide to drop one foot lower. I waited for low tide but the water level did not get lower.

I was not aware that the Venice Canal doesn’t have a tidal flow. They do let the water out Monday and Tuesday to keep the water from getting stagnant. We couldn’t wait till then.
The first night was a disaster with shoulder high water and many trash metallic items in the mucky cold water. After two one hour attempts the ring could not be found.. Returning the next day with thermo waders and a large magnet to thin out iron objects. My Minelab Excalibur detector was not able to separate the targets they were too close together. This attemp was 5 hours of trying to remove all metallic signals with no sign of the ring.
I had to leave, but returned for the third try Sunday.  This time the water was just about chest high which made it much easier to eliminate the metallic trash. After two hours I scooped up a loud sounding target that I believed was a pull tab, but it was a beautiful platinum diamond engagement ring.
I took a few photos, then called Rohilt. He was actually just a couple miles away at the party. We met on the Santa Monica Pier and I gave him his ring. He had not told Jasleen that I had found the ring. Returning to the party he was able to surprise his fiancé by formally proposing to Jasleen and give her the ring she had only heard bounce on the bridge and splash into the canal two days before. I feel like I have known them forever at least it was a great pleasure to help them find this important part of their future life together.

Lost Keys Found In Ski Area

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

Got a message from a student at Vermont Technical College last night…..Go Green Knights! He had been snowboarding at the college’s ski area. I went down this evening, knowing that it was probably his only set of keys, and knowing how much they cost these days to replace. He needed his car so he could go to work this Sunday. He turned on the trail’s lights and I thought oh no, this could be a very long hunt! Also, the weather was getting cold and windy fast. I planned on going back Saturday to hunt more if needed. After about an hour of searching and many false signals, luck panned out! He was so relieved and I was very happy.

Darcy call me yesterday to see if I could help him find his lost white 14k gold wedding ring? he was helping a friend disassemble a dog run in the back yard, he believed that the ring came off when he removed his gloves and could possibly be in two different locations.

Since the ring was in the back yard I told him I could meet him at the first house at 9:00 am tomorrow and search that area first since he thought that where the ring could possibly be.

This morning the barometer was @ –  21 Celsius  with a wind chill -31 Brrrrrrrr, believe me it was a bitter cold morning here in Edmonton Alberta, and a great day to go metal detecting,  I meet up with Darcy and he showed me where the dog run had been! You see every thing was covered with snow which for me was a bonus.

With in Ten minutes I found Darcy’s ring  he could not believe that I found the ring so quickly!  he told me he was very skeptical that his ring would be found.

Another happy client thank you Darcy.

Received this e-mail  from Barbara this morning!

Hi Norm,

 I recall hearing about you a while back. I am wondering if you search for keys,  I think I lost my spare set of vehicle keys in the yard yesterday as I have searched every inch of the house that I can possibly think of.

I know I came home with them, so am thinking they fell out of my pocket and then of course it snowed  I want to find them because of course I need them but also before it snows any more I am thinking that they would be near the sidewalk paths or maybe on or near the front and back landings, but it’s not a big search area.  Thank you, Barb

I called Barbara to set appointment with her for 1:00pm to locate her keys, and of course today had to be one of the coldest days -20 Celsius and a wind-chill factor -30 It was Brrrrrrr cold!  lucky for me it only took me 15 minutes to locate her keys in the back yard.

Another happy Client!  Thank you Barbara for entrusting me to locate your Keys.

Lost Engagement Ring .. Chino Hills, CA. .. Found after Three Searhes

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

Jason called after finding TheRingFinders.com while doing a google search for metal detecting information. He asked me if Ira’s available to help him find his wife’s engagement ring lost in the back yard. He would be home all day, so I was able to meet him at that afternoon.

He told me that his wife Celia had thrown a dog toy for their dog to fetch. Three rings came off her finger and they were able to find two thin white gold wedding bands. The larger diamond engagement ring was not found. I was only able to ask Celia a few questions before she had to leave. We searched the area on the backside of the fence and the neighbor’s yard. Three hours of searching with two different detectors did not uncover the missing ring. I could not think of any places that I could use my detectors. So I had to call it a ” no find” day.
A week later I got a call from Jeff Levy a fellow member of TheRingFinders. He had also been called and had been given a different explanation of how the rings were lost. The rings came off when Celia threw the dog toy from the second floor window. This would make it possible to go further or get hung up in 8ft high tree type landscape shrubs. Also a chance it could landed on the pool slide then into the pool.

I returned to give it another try. This time I gave Celia 3 junk rings to throw from the same window, then 4 rings to throw at a different angle. I was able to find the first 3 in her yard and the other 4 were found in the neighbor’s yard.
I had a Garrett Infinium detector with a sniper coil which I probed into the tall shrubs from their side of the fence and I went to the neighbor’s to probe from that side but could not get a signal. After returning to Jason and Celia’s yard we were running out of places to search. Celia and I walked around the pool slide to try the last possible spot. Celia looked down and there was her beautiful solitaire engagement ring. I had knocked it out of the high shrubbery. There was no other explanation of how it got there, we had searched that spot many times and it was right on top of hard packed soil.
It gets crazy when you are getting ready to call it a “no find search” and up pops the ring. Another awesome search and one I’ll never forget. Celia was ecstatic, so was I, the photo shows her happiness.img_4212

Lost Gold Ring with Diamonds Found in Troy Michigan

30 Year Fixed!

I got a call from a husband saying his ring slipped off while raking leaves in the yard during warmer than usual s/e Michigan weather this week.
So I got on site and him and I talked about where he thought it may be so I set up the MXT and started to detect the area. He left me to search as he went back into the house to do a few chores and hadn’t been in there too long when I called him and said I found something interesting! I at first picked up iron signals from the rubber trim metal spikes around the area in question but then a 1 cent +60 reading came up solid from all directions and I was surprised to find the pictured 14k yellow band hiding just under 4 inches of leaves!
So he came running out and raised his hands in the air in amazement when I was holding the ring!
We got to talking a bit more and I learned that the ring, like all rings, have a special meaning and a story to them.
He mentioned that his wife on their 30th anniversary in August had his original ring and her original ring melted together and this one pictured with hubby was the one that represented both and this was her original design incorporated in his new wedding band! How cool was that I thought!
I wished them a happy holiday season and was happy to see them reunited with their ring that held such a special meaning!
