North Tonawanda Garden Spring Ring Recovery

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

Karen reached out after losing her ring in the backyard while starting some spring cleanup. One minute it was on her finger, the next it was gone. No gloves and no clear idea where it slipped off, just the feeling it might be gone for good.

This was not just any ring. It represents 45 years of marriage. You could hear how much it meant.

We began searching the yard slowly, working through signals and covering the area piece by piece. Plenty of noise along the way, but about 30 minutes in, a clean solid tone came through. The kind that makes you stop.

And there it was.

Ring recovered and back where it belongs.
What an amazing Sunday morning.

Lost Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Homeland Baltimore, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message 2 days ago from Nick who lost his wedding band while gardening a few days prior. Not only was Nick confident that he lost it in his yard, he informed me that there were certain areas of the yard that he was concentrated in. We made plans to meet the very next day.

When I arrived, Nick greeted me and immediately showed me around his yard and where he felt were the highest probability areas. He then excused himself and went back inside his residence and I got to work, starting with the first high probability area. The good news is not only was I able to locate the ring, I set a new personal record of less than 2 minutes doing so! Keep in mind that this record was set not only due to my detecting skill, but to Nick’s guidance and recollection of where he was when he first realized the ring was no longer on his finger. The ring was only about 1/2″ below the surface of the recently disrupted soil, but that was deep enough to hide it completely from sight. As a side note, this is a perfect example as to why I do NOT charge an hourly rate for my service! With that said, I’ve recovered rings in the past that have taken may hours to locate, with the extreme being 3 location returns over a week period with a total of about 10 hours of searching! As you can see, working on a reward type basis makes sense for both parties involved. I digress! The good news is the ring that Nick’s grandfather gave him is now safely back where it belongs!!

Newlyweds Lost Engagement Ring lost in Backyard in Sevierville TN

Newlywed’s Engagement Ring Recovered After Weeks Missing in Backyard
There’s something extra special about helping a newlywed recover a lost engagement ring — especially when they’ve only been married three months.
I received a call from a young lady named Kendall who was understandably upset. Her engagement ring had been missing for about two to three weeks. She had lost it somewhere in her backyard and despite searching multiple times, it was nowhere to be found.
Like many people would, Kendall and her husband decided to take matters into their own hands. They purchased a metal detector and carefully searched the yard themselves. Unfortunately, without experience using the equipment — and not knowing exactly what signals to listen for — they had no luck locating the ring.
After weeks of frustration, they turned to the internet for help. That’s when they came across The Ring Finders and found my name, Phillip Mendez, listed as a local ring finder. They reached out, hopeful but understandably nervous.
When I arrived, Kendall showed me the areas where she believed the ring might have slipped off. Newly landscaped yards and thick grass can easily hide a small gold band, even in plain sight. After listening carefully to her story and narrowing down the most likely zones, I began a methodical grid search.
About 30 minutes later, I got a strong, clean signal.
Just beneath the surface of the grass was Kendall’s engagement ring.
The look on her face when she saw it again — pure relief and joy — is why I do what I do. Three months into marriage is far too soon to replace a ring filled with memories and meaning. Being able to reunite her with the exact ring that marked the beginning of her forever was incredibly rewarding.
If you’ve lost something valuable — especially a sentimental item like an engagement ring — don’t give up hope. Even after weeks outside, rings can still be found with the right equipment and experience.
Another happy ending, and another reminder that sometimes the right search makes all the difference.

Lost Ring Recovered in Taylors, SC — Found in 15 Feet

How to Find a Lost Ring in Your Yard (Taylors, SC)
Call Dwight C — Metal Detectorist: (864) 535-4347

When I got the call, it was the kind of challenge I love: a couple who had been playing football in their yard realized a cherished ring had gone missing. Despite hours of searching, they just couldn’t spot it. The husband even tried his hand with a basic metal detector but couldn’t quite master the settings. That’s when they found me through RingFinders and gave me a shout.

After a short delay due to weather, I headed out to meet them. The search area was actually a good-sized, square-profile yard—a nice open space with neatly cut grass, making it a straightforward area to work in. And, I had solid strategy. I laid out a Jackstay search pattern, to methodically moving line by line.

The best part? I barely had to move more than 15 feet on the first pass before I got a strong signal. The ring had settled just beneath the grass line—the grass had simply swallowed it up, making it invisible to the naked eye. The couple was thrilled—it turned out the ring never made it far at all, and they were so relieved to have it back.

Platinum Wedding Ring Recovered in Chapel Hill!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Andrew in Chapel Hill about his lost wedding ring. He’d been playing football with his son in the yard and while practicing a long snap (picture the guy who hikes it to the punter), his ring flew off. He knew exactly when it happened and where, but didn’t know where the ring had gone. In the month since he’d lost it, Andrew had bought an inexpensive metal detector to try and find it himself, but had not found the ring, which is when he called me. After he showed me where and how the ring came to be lost, I searched for about 90 minutes with no luck. I took my own ring, tied a bright orange string to it, and asked Andrew to come out and snap the football several times wearing my ring so I could see where his ring might have gone. After several snaps, we had a good idea of where the ring should have been – unfortunately, the ring wasn’t there. I widened my search area quite a bit and after another hour or so, found the ring almost 90 degrees to the left of where we thought it should have landed.

Andrew and his wife have an anniversary coming up soon and he’s glad he’ll have his ring back where it belongs for that special day. Another happy ending!

Two Gold Wedding Rings Recovered in Siler City!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Luke, who was vacationing in North Carolina from West Virginia. Quoting from Luke’s original text, “I lost not 1 but 2 wedding bands in the yard at our Airbnb in Siler City”. Apparently Luke lost his ring playing in the yard and someone in the group declared it shouldn’t be that hard to find a ring in the grass. That led to his wife’s ring being tossed out into the grass to show how easy it would be to find, which is how Luke got to the situation he was in. Anyway, Luke and I spoke and he cleared it with the landlord for me to go out and search. He had sent me a map of the backyard and had marked the area where he thought I should search. I found her ring after about an hour and a half (the yard was filled with pop tops, bottle caps, nails, screws, etc.), but it took me probably another 30 minutes to find his ring. I sent Luke this picture of the two recovered rings and we made arrangements for me to ship them back to him in West Virginia. Although I didn’t get to hand the rings to Luke and his wife, it was still a nice recovery and nice long-distance happy ending!

Diamond and Gold Wedding Ring Recovered in Fuquay-Varina

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from a nice couple in Fuquay-Varina (about 15 miles from the house) asking me to help find the wife’s wedding ring. The husband said it was in the back yard, which should have been an easy recovery. When I got there, he showed me where the ring had gone:  down a briar-covered hill, behind the back yard. Although they were certain about the direction the ring had gone, they didn’t have a guess on how far it might have traveled. Given that, I started at the top of the hill, working my way down, fighting the briars. After maybe an hour of “briar fighting”, I had reached the bottom of the hill, but still no ring. I decided to walk even further out and start to work my way back towards the house, hoping I wouldn’t have to re-search the hill. As soon as I reached what I had chosen as my furthest point, I found the ring easily.

When I climbed back up the hill and returned the ring to the wife, she burst into tears. It’s always good to be able to recover and return a ring, but this one was extra special – another happy ending!

Lake St.Louis Lost Wedding Band

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I was cleaning the gutters, not wearing gloves (lesson learned) and as I threw the debris, my wedding ring slid off my finger and went with the debris into an area of Ivey. In that environment, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Jeremy Roth of Ringfinders to the rescue. He found the ring along with a few other items overgrown by the ivey. Just in time to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary!

Lost Gold Wedding Band Thanks to Lawn Work – Recovered

  • from Nacogdoches (Texas, United States)
Contact:

On October 28, 2025 I was contacted by David, who stated he had lost his wedding band in his back yard and asked if I was about to try to locate his ring.  David provided me the details of the ring, time frame, etc.

Today, November 3, 2025 I met David at his house, he oriented me to the property then the hunt was on.

The yard was remarkably clean of metal junk, and the grass was short.  After 40 or so targets, BAM!  There it was. About 20 feet from the area he believed it to have been lost.

I snapped a photo, then returned the ring to David and his expression was priceless. Then to hear him exclaim “He found it!!”  And the excitement from his family… it makes this worthwhile.

David’s Ring Recovery, November 3, 2025.
