Larry messaged me and said he lost his wedding ring while on the sand bar. He told me it wasn’t a very expensive ring but it meant so much to him because he lost his wife/ best friend do to medical conditions 6 months ago. I was able to find it for him. He said he was so sick to his stomach that he lost it and he will take it off every time he goes in the water. I am very glad i was able to get it back to him.


Aron text me and and said he lost his neckless jumping off a bridge into a lake. It was about 10 feet deep and weeds. I went up there 2 time before I found it. His grandma gave him the necklace when he was born it really meant a lot to him. He was very happy.


I found this class ring while I was out diving and detecting in a local lake. I did some research and found him. He was in the Vietnam war, he was a local fireman for 15 years and Fire chief for 5. It was lost when he was about 18. Good to give back to someone that has done so much for the community.

This was one of my first calls to help find his wedding ring. He said he had to have lost it doing some concrete work on his sidewalk and was ready to rip it apart if I thought it was in there. I looked for a while and couldn’t find it so we retraced his steps what all he did that day. I found it about 150 feet away from where he thought it was. Sometimes it helps to investigate. He was jumping up and down with joy and gave me a hug lol.

This young man called me and said he lost his wedding ring that used to be his grandpas. He was standing on a wooden wall and fighting the big waves in lake michigan in Chicago. It took me a little while but I found it in about 6 feet of water. He couldnt believe it but was very happy to have it back.

This young man lost his wedding ring when swimming at a friend’s house on the lake I found it in about 7 feet of water in some weeds.
I received a text from Leslie on Monday afternoon concerning a lost engagement ring. She had found me with an internet search. As it was late in the day I told her I could come the next day, becase it was about a two hour drive from where I’m located. I got to the site at around 11:00 AM Central Time. The couple had been pulling a boat and pulled off into the parking lot of an old convience store that had been converted into another use. As they got out to adjust the boat straps, (the ring had been placed in the shallow tray under the door handle), the ring somehow went flying. They looked on the pavement and didn’t see it, but there was a grass strip between the pavement and a shallow ditch, then more grass just beyond the ditch. I started my search in the grass strip, then the ditch, then just beyond the ditch. Being this had been a convience store at one time I expected a lot of metal trash in the ground, and I was right. She did have a metal detector that had been her grandfather’s, but was overwhelmed by the abundance of metal trash. I searched slowly and methodically while listening for the white gold tone and looking for the target ID I typically get for white gold rings. After searching the entire area, no ring. Of course I found several pieces of foil. I turned off my CTX detector, and was explaing the process, where I search the most likely area first, then expand the search area if the ring is not found, (a visual scan of the pavement was next). At that time someone from the building, I’ll call him “Tom”, came out and we explained what we were doing, and that a visual scan of the pavement was next. He struck out towards the highway, and in around ten seconds I heard him call out, “is this it?” He had found it around 10-12 feet from the edge of a busy highway! The ring was intact, but had some minor damage where it looked as though it had been run over and stuck in the tire treads before dropping off just before the highway. In a visual search, the more eyes the better. All in all, another successful search!




As I was getting out of the water yesterday when I received a text message from Chet. It said that he had lost his wedding band the day before while swimming his boat back to shore. He also new the general area, and mentioned, at low tide it should be fairly low water. He wanted to know if I could help with locating it for him. I told him that I certainly will try.
We made plans to go around an hour before low tide. I met Chet, and asked a few more questions like, is it White, Yellow, Gold or Platinum? Any makings inside, the usual. Was the water mucky in that area? Hopefully no one had stepped on it, and sent it to deep to locate.
We walked down to the area, I had him go out and stand in the spot he had it last and stop. I made my way out to him, first signal was an old Penny, next signal was blasting , I knew I had it rite away. I looked in the scoop and said does that look familiar ? He couldn’t believe it. Less than five minutes, and with perfect timing, it was back on his finger. Congratulations Chet and Thanks for calling The Ring Finders… Leighton


It took a while but his ring was found……about 30 m from where they thought it was lost. I have underwater equipment to complete lake and river searches.
