Lost Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Broomes Island, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Matt back on October 4th about a wedding band that was lost the day before. I’ll just let him tell you the rest. Thanks for the kind words, Matt!

After you read his testimonial, take a look at the one picture! You can see how easy it would be to overlook it in the grass with the naked eye!

 

I can’t recommend Jim Wagner highly enough!

My sister got married last weekend, and sometime during the wedding my dad lost his wedding band in a grassy area that had been used for guest parking. He had worn that ring for 52 years without ever losing it, only to have it disappear on the day of his daughter’s wedding. Needless to say, both of my parents were extremely upset.

I spent about an hour searching the area with a flashlight but had no luck. Since the wedding was in a coastal area where metal detecting is fairly common, I started searching online for someone who specialized in finding lost rings and jewelry. Jim was by far one of the most highly recommended people I found, so I left him a voicemail.

Within about 10 minutes, Jim called me back. As luck would have it, he was already driving relatively close to the area on his way home. After I explained what had happened, he asked me a few questions and had me send him a photo of the area where I thought the ring had been lost.

When Jim arrived, his experience immediately showed. Using his equipment and expertise, he was able to locate my dad’s wedding band remarkably quickly. Finding a ring that had been worn for 52 years—and that happened to be lost on such an emotional and important family occasion—was an incredible blessing. We were all so relieved and grateful.

I also really appreciated how fair and straightforward Jim was about his fee. Because the location ended up being a little farther out of the way than originally anticipated, there was a very reasonable $40 call-out fee. Beyond that, there wasn’t a predetermined reward amount. Jim simply suggested considering what you might tip for good service along with the monetary and sentimental value of the item he recovered. I thought that was an exceptionally fair and reasonable approach, especially considering the value of what he helped return to our family.

If you ever lose a ring or another meaningful piece of jewelry in the area, I would absolutely recommend calling Jim before attempting to buy a metal detector and search for it yourself. After watching how quickly he worked, it was obvious that successfully finding lost jewelry involves much more than simply owning the equipment—it takes experience, skill, and knowing how to use it.

Jim clearly has that expertise. He turned what could have been a heartbreaking permanent loss into a wonderful ending to a very special family weekend. We are incredibly thankful, and I would highly recommend Jim Wagner as the person to call if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.

Lost Wedding Band… Found at Elk Run Heights, Iowa

Contact:

I received a call from Tom about finding his lost wedding band. He was mowing his yard and had some low hanging branches on a tree in the back yard.

He tried to hold a limb up and mow under it with his riding mower when the limb pulled his wedding band off. Of course they searched for it and came up empty.

I went today and gridded the area under and near the tree and after an hour found the ring. Thanks for the call out and reward.

Lost Wedding Ring in Ballwin, Missouri

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)

I was outside playing with my daughter and went to throw a ball for her and it slid off my finger and landed in the grass in my backyard. I looked for a couple days and raked the yard to try and pop it up out of the grass but still couldn’t find it. I found ring finders online and got into contact with Jeremy, he was able to come out and find it for within 20 minutes.

Student Initiation lost signet ring recovered.

I was contacted over the weekend by a student who had just started university.

From what I understand there was some sort of initiation process going on in the beautiful park nearby, which overlooks Oxford, with an amazing view of many of the spires of the university.

This initiation took the form of rolling down a mild slope of the park, with possibly some sort of inebriation involved? also being dark, what could go wrong?

So we arranged to meet in the park for a search. Luckily the grass hadn’t been cut, but in a few more days, this would have been on the cards.

The area to be searched was probably about 500 square meters, so I set about searching. There were many very nice signals going on which were all sub surface, so had to be ignored! Eventually, quite near my last corner marker, a beautiful clear tone, then there it was, a very nice engraved signet ring recovery in some getting long grass.

Very happy student, and detectorist!

 

 

Lost 14K WHITE GOLD WEDDING BAND – FOUND – LEESBURG VA

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)

I received a message from a customer asking for my assistance in locating his lost wedding band. He had been practicing softball with his daughters before a game and was on a side field adjacent to the main softball field when he lost it.

The customer was about an hour away from returning to the ballpark, but he texted me several photos of the area while traveling back. Since I was only a short distance away, I gathered my gear and headed over to begin the search.

When I arrived, I was fortunate to have some help from others who were already assisting with the search. The customer arrived a short time later and explained exactly what had happened. As he was running up a slight hill, he removed the glove from his left hand. When he reached the top of the hill, he realized his wedding ring was missing.

A small group had already searched the area without success. I began my search by gridding across most of the likely sections, but the ring remained elusive.

Just as I was preparing to call it a day, I decided to make one last sweep along the edge of the field as I headed back toward my truck.

That’s when my XP Deus II gave me a VDI 55 signal.

I recovered the target…💍 RING FOUND!

The customer, his wife, and everyone at the field table were absolutely ecstatic when I handed the ring back to him.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of returning something so meaningful to its owner.

Happy Customer — Happy Hunting! 🤘

 

Clam Digging Results With Wedding Set Lost in the Mud – Found Days Later

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Cape Carteret, NC

Brenda called Crystal Coast Ring Finders for help trying to locate her missing 3 piece wedding set.  Brenda was out trying to find clams in the very shallow waters of the Bogue Sound.  It wasn’t until the next morning she realized her wedding set was missing.  I asked her many questions about what she did after being in the water and it was determined the rings were more likely lost in or near the muddy area she searched for clams.  The day I met the couple (married 55 years!) the weather was less than favorable with strong winds keeping the tide higher than normal and white cap waves at times.  After a few passes, I informed them this was not ideal conditions and I would return soon to try again.  On the second attempt, I tried to take advantage of the negative low tide that day and get out as far as she informed me she hunted on that sad day. As I expected, I found many items of garbage but no rings.  The third day I returned and after checking my tracking software realized there was still an area that needed more attention.  After a while I finally came across a very solid signal and was hoping it wasn’t garbage.  I brought my scoop up out of the mud and after clearing the debris, I noticed that spectacular shine of gold!  I marked the location of the first ring and about 3 foot away I found a very similar signal.  It was Brenda’s engagement ring.  Once again, I marked the area in the water with a pole and seared again.  Once again at around 3 feet further was the last ring!  It was apparent to me she lost the rings throwing something.  Brenda explained she was digging with her right hand if she found an empty shell, she would toss it into an area she already hunted.

Brenda informed me her friends were very doubtful any of the rings would be found and even encouraged her to file an insurance claim on the lost rings.  When I informed Brenda (who had returned to Pennsylvania) I have found all 3 rings, she told me she filed a claim the previous day and would now call them back to cancel the claim and save her the deductible amount.  Brenda and her husband Floyd for 55 years returned back to North Carolina a few weeks later and I was very happy to return the rings to her in person and I really enjoyed visiting them.

 

Lost ring recovered from dog walk

I had a call the other day from a lady who had lost her grandmothers wedding ring. Her grandmother was married in 1950, so this was a very special ring.

We met on her dog walk, which was a wooded track with lots of undergrowth each side. the walk was probably quarter of a mile, so quite a search. The track was surprisingly not too trashy, but as with most ring searches, they are normally on the surface, so a detuned detector was necessary.

After nearly two hours of searching, we were nearing the end of the track, and we were both beginning to feel the hope of finding the ring was fading. But then, a beautiful clear tone was delivered! A quick brush aside with my foot of some leaf litter, and there it was, a very nice gold ring smiling at me.

Another very happy and emotional owner of a very special lost ring now recovered.

BOUNCING a VOLLEYBALL LED to BRANDON’S WEDDING BAND BEING LOST in the SURF

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

EMERALD ISLE, NC – Just minutes after losing his 5-month-old wedding ring, Brandon called Crystal Coast Ring Finders. I arrived shortly after high tide and began searching from high to low toward the ocean. After three and a half passes, the Deus II metal detector gave a solid 46 reading. Pinpointing the spot, I took one scoop, but a wave rushed in and washed away the sand. As I lifted the scoop to check, there it was—Brandon’s bright gold wedding band. I held up the scoop basket, and Brandon happily reclaimed his lost ring.

This year’s charity is Fishin’ for a Cure and 10% of Brandon’s reward will be donated to support individuals battling breast cancer.

Labor Day Weekend Ring Rescue

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)

The Vanderbilt Ring That Took a Swim

Wilden was out in the lake enjoying some time with his wife, tossing a football back and forth, when things took an unexpected turn. As Wilden threw the football to his wife, his newly acquired college ring slipped right off his hand and disappeared into the lake.
This wasn’t just any ring—it was his Vanderbilt University college ring, and his wife had just bought it for him about two days earlier! Needless to say, Wilden was probably already starting to think about how comfortable the doghouse was going to be.
I headed out to help and began searching the lake. Luckily, the water was only about 3–4 feet deep, making the search a little easier. It didn’t take long before I located Wilden’s Vanderbilt ring resting beneath the water.
Ring recovered, crisis averted, and most importantly… Wilden is officially out of the doghouse!
Another ring found, another happy ending.

Lost gold ring, FOUND! Cape May, NJ By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Phil yesterday just ahead of an incoming storm. Phil explained that he was exiting the ocean and shook off his hands when his wedding ring slipped off and was immediately swallowed up by a passing wave. Phil and his wife searched the shallow with no success. Given the time of day, current tide schedule and approaching storm I decided it would be best to attempt recovery during this morning low tide. Phil did an excellent job of marking the area with a pin and taking reference photos. This morning I arrived on the beach at Phils pinned location and began searching. After about an hours time I swung my coil over Phils ring and recovered it from approx 14” down in the sand! Phil and his family finished breakfast and met me on Decatur St beach, here in Cape May and retrieved his ring. Another successful recovery, another saved vacation!

Phils Review:

“Jeff is the best! I lost my gold wedding ring on the southern tip of Cape May beach right as the tide was coming in. We called Jeff immediately, and he was able to head out to the exact spot at the next low tide—roughly 19 hours later. About an hour into searching, he found it! We were sure it was gone forever, especially after a pretty bad storm rolled through that night. Jeff came to the rescue. He is highly professional, and I cannot recommend him enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
