Calimesa Newlywed’s Platinum Ring Falls Off While Playing With Dog- FOUND!!

I received a frantic text message from Loni yesterday stating “My husband and I just got married last Saturday, October 11th, and he lost his platinum wedding band in our back yard on Monday. We’ve been searching endlessly with no luck. Is there any chance you’d be available and willing to help us?” I responded that sure, I would come out.

Upon arriving, I met Loni, and her husband, Jesse. Jesse told me they had been searching for a week trying to find the ring and they even bought a metal detector but didn’t really know how to use it, only finding nails and metal. Jesse said he was wearing a jacket with longer sleeves and took their dog outside to play. He pointed out two areas of the backyard where he was flapping his arms “like a chicken” and said he believed the ring came off there.

Standing by the first spot in the yard, I had him put the jacket on and I pulled out my test men’s band and handed it to him and told him to let it go as he was re-creating his “flapping” so that I could get an idea of where it might fly or fall to. Surprisingly, it fell almost straight down by his feet. So I started my search of the tall grass in a grid pattern, spreading my search pattern out as I wasn’t getting the signals I was looking for.

I went to the 2nd area and repeated my grid search, still with no luck. I was beginning to second guess myself. So I re-contacted Jesse and asked him to tell me what he was doing and where, right from the point of leaving the house. It turns out he had walked over to the unattached laundry room with the dog, which has a large tree and grassy area adjacent to it. But he said he wasn’t really playing with the dog then. He also added that they had been searching there too.

We walked over to the area and I started to search the grass. I had just swung the detector and saw a shining perfect thin circle in the grass. It was a ring. I picked it up and asked him if his ring looked like that? He got very excited saying that it did, and he hugged me and called out for Loni. Both were happy beyond belief! I was very happy that I could unite this newlywed with his wedding band, especially learning later the ring had been passed down.

Don’t waste your money on a metal detector you won’t know how to use and get yourself all frustrated. Call or text me right away!

Pioneertown Pit Thrown with Grandpa’s Platinum Band…FOUND!!

Don’t waste precious time buying or borrowing a metal detector you don’t know how to use. Call or text me ASAP…1-951-415-6007.

I received a text message from Skylar this morning asking for my help. Her message said she had been eating a nectarine while sitting on the front porch of her house. When she went to throw the nectarine pit out into the bushes, she said she felt her grandfather’s platinum band she was wearing, go flying off with the pit.
Her property was out in the desert by Pioneertown and I had a 4 mile washboard dirt road off the pavement to take to get there. When I arrived she was visibly upset. Skylar told me she and her boyfriend borrowed a metal detector and searched and searched with no luck. She then found me on the Ringfinders website.

I have a man’s (inexpensive) band that I have attached to a lime green string just for these “throwing” occasions (I also have a woman’s ring). I handed her the ring and told her to throw it like she had the pit. This would give me a better idea of where it may have landed, since there were a lot of bushes and weeds around that area. She gave it a throw and I had a generalized area to work from, taking into account it could have rolled further. I began my search with my Garrett AT Pro around a tree that was in line of where she threw it. There were so many junk and deep signals I decided to just use my pinpointer since I knew it would be pretty much on top of the ground. I got down on my hands and knees and began slowly going over the weeds and dirt, finding wire and even a razor blade. In less than  10 minutes I got a signal and saw the band laying in the weeds.
I called Skylar over and asked “Does it look like that?” pointing to it. She grabbed the ring and became extremely excited that I had found it. Her look of happiness was worth the washboard road!

Diamond Engagement Ring Thrown Across a Street in Lake Elsinore, CA After an Argument – FOUND!!

  • from Corona (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Eddie, asking if I could help find his girlfriend’s diamond engagement ring that was lost a week ago. He proceeded to tell me that he had the ring at work after they had gotten into a huge argument. He had been drinking after work, and in a fit of rage, threw the ring from the parking lot across a 2 lane street. On the far side of the street was a sandy drainage ditch.
Eddie said he and his co-workers later searched several days for the ring with no luck. He bought a metal detector and still had no luck because he didn’t know how to properly use it. That’s when he found me on The Ringfinders website.

He showed me the approximate 30 yard wide area across the street that he felt it would have landed and said that he had to leave to pick up his son. So I began my search, starting at the edge of the drainage ditch next to the road. There were large rocks along the embankment for runoff. With no luck, I started checking the sandy bottom. Within about 15 minutes I found it below the opposite embankment of the ditch.

I took a close-up picture of the ring and was about to send it in a message to Eddie when, at the same time, his boss came out asking if I had found it. I told him I had and he immediately called Eddie. You could hear Eddie yelling with excitement.

Another good day!
