I received a phone call Saturday from Mark, telling me the story of how he lost his matching wedding ring while feeding the horses. After getting a tour of the farm and all the possible places it could be, I arranged to return for the hunt.

Monday morning I loaded up my equipment and headed to Arbutus Ridge arriving at 10:00 a.m.
I hunted for four hours and no luck, so expanding the search I entered a corral and searched the area and the feed trough. Bingo the tone of Silver.

Mark and Sherry were so excited to get this matching wedding ring back

Lost Gold Wedding Ring..Laguna Beach, CA… Recovered

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

The day before finishing their beach vacation, Taylor lost his gold wedding ring.

This morning about 9:00am, I received a call from Taylor asking me if I could help him find his wedding ring he lost yesterday on the beach. He was searching the internet for a metal detector when he found The RingFinders and my phone number. I was able to meet him about an hour later.

He and his family had been vacationing in South Laguna Beach and had spent the day on the beach. He had taken his ring off and put it into the cup holder of his folding beach chair. When they got ready to leave he picked up his chair and walked to the parking area.  (about 200 ft.)  That was when he realized that he had lost his ring.  Taylor was able to give me very good idea of where they were sitting and that made it very easy to find his ring. He and his wife were very happy and by now they are back home in Utah. I’ve found a lot of rings for people and I still get excited when I can help people like Taylor and his wife find their ring. Their little daughter is still trying to figure out what was the big deal.

Its been a very hard week due to the loss of my wife’s father, we’ll miss him very much!I was away for the past week dealing with the preparations of the service and I had 3 calls and 2 that I passed on to others Ring Finders, after I arrived home late last night I was able to do a search for a diamond wedding ring that was lost on Spanish Banks Beach here in Vancouver.

I was extremely exhausted but looking very forward to getting away to the beach and and helping someone find their lost smile as this is more like relaxation for me.I met with Mary at 11pm and she showed me where her wife lost her ring and it took me a little over an hour to find it.

It would have been a quicker search but due to the fact that it was late and dark it took a while for Mary to put me in the correct area but when she did it only took minutes and we found the ring and I got to see her big smile!

Thank you very much for the generous reward Mary it helps me with my gas money and equipment and 15 % of the reward money goes to charity… Children’s Hospital

Lost Platinum Wedding Band Richmond, Texas (Recovered)

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)

June 2013

Lost Men’s Platinum Wedding Ring in Richmond, Texas.

The caller Mr. King reported he had lost his wedding ring in his backyard while battling a swarm of honey bees. Mr. King reported a swarm of honey bees had been trying to set-up their new home at his new home, and while trying to evict them things went bad. Apparently the bees were not planning on cooperating and became aggressive and assaulted Mr. King. In the battle for his turf, Mr King managed to lose his ring while in the midst of the fight. The suspects (bees) were later taken into custody by a pest control specialist without further incident. No other injuries were reported.

Mr. King reported his new homes backyard was not sodded and it was extremely muddy due to recent rains, he suggested wearing boots due to the yards current condition.

With a new Minelab CTX 3030 in hand, I wadded through Mr. King’s backyard and found his ring buried in about 1″ of mud. The new CTX 3030 is off to a good start.

3rd time is a charm in Fremont, Michigan

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Dan R. was trimming some trees off his property and clearing some of his land and forgot he was wearing a gold bracelet until walking in the house and noticed it gone.

He went back out to where he thought he might have lost it and could not find it. He got on the computer and found www.theringfinders.com and located me through

the directory. I came out the next day with a friend, Dave, and attempted to look for it unsuccessfully in the rain. Dan paid for my gas to make the 82 mile round trip

and I told him “I will be back but this time on my dime”. A week later I came out with another detector friend, Larry, and with better weather was still unsuccessful

so I didn’t want to fail Dan and his wife so I told him I was coming back. The third time I came back with my brother Doug, we have been a very successful team

in hunting down these lost items. After about 30 minutes Doug came up with the gold bracelet just on the edge of the flower bed and the grass.

Another happy couple and in the words of our director, Chris Turner, “I love my job”.
