Gold Signet Ring for 8yr Old found after 3 weeks

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

 

Hello from Don & Ellen Wilson in Dallas, Texas.  We got a call today from Mrs Bundy, her 8yr old daughter, Briar, had lost her Gold Signet Ring at the playground of the local Country Club.  We met at the Country Club and began searching the area where the daughter said she saw the ring fly off her hand.  She was playing Queen of the World by standing on top of a picnic table and threw her arm out like she was Queen. The ring came off of her hand and was lost.

After 3 weeks of searching by Briar, her parents, other family members and the Country Club grounds & Management staff everyone had given the ring up for lost.  Mrs Bundy’s sister in New York read an article about  “The Ring Finders” and told Mrs. Bundy she should check the website and see if there was a “Ring Finder in the Dallas area”  She did and found my wife and I.

After about an hour of searching we were about to call it quits when I asked the little girl to get back up on the picnic table and re-inact the event.  She did, then my wife said “no wait, do it again and close your eyes and do it the exact same way”.  Briar did as we requested and did it completely different than she had previously showed us.  This time I saw that it was possible the ring may have  flown in a different area of grass.  We began to detect this area and in 5 minutes the ring showed itself.  I called the little girl and her mother over and asked, ‘is this your ring’?  They were so excited and so grateful.

Another great day in the life of “The Ring Finders in Dallas,Tx”

God I love this hobby!

Lost Locket & Gold Chain found! Arlington,Texas

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)

We  received a panic call from a young man about 8pm one night saying that his girlfriend had lost the locket and chain he had given her somewhere in his front yard.  He wanted us come that night but we were tied up and promised to come early the next morning.  We arrived around 7am and he explained that he and his girlfriend had been playing around in the front yard when the incident happened. She had placed the item in the pocket of her hoodie prior to playing around.  She was extremely upset with him and he was really upset that he couldn’t find it himself.

We got out our detectors and began scanning and in just 5 minutes or so we got a HIT.  We found the locket and chain. He was shocked and happy and could not thank us enough.

What a thrill to have another successful hunt for “The Ring Finder”.

14 kt wedding ring found in Denver, CO yard

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)

Ben Spiking was doing the typical fall yard work of racking up leaves and dead grass, bagging that debris and placing it for pick up. While cleaning up after his work he noticed that he no longer had his 14 kt white gold wedding band on his figure. He immediately began a search for his ring. He quickly pulled the bags of refuse from the back alley and placed them within his fenced yard. He

Ben's wedding band

started to empty the bags one at a time and carefully go through the yard waste.  After three of the bags had been gone through leaf by leaf, Ben realized that going through the 8 remaining bags was going to be a daunting task and may be fruitless as well.

A quick internet search led Ben to Ring Finders and my profile page. Ben called my home phone and left a message which was relayed to me by my wife as I was in the mountains elk hunting at the time.  Where I was camping there is no cell phone service but I had made arrangements to check in back at home every couple of days. My wife gave me the critical information and I called Ben’s wife Kim to set up my search.
I arrived at the Spiking’s residence and Kim gives me a quick explanation of what had occurred the day of the rings loss. I began my search with my White’s XLT with a bigfoot coil. I searched the whole front yard and then the path through the back yard to the gate. I search the remaining bags of yard waste and the area where Ben had searched through the first 3 bags of yard waste, no luck. I then made my way back to my truck and switched out coils to my factory 9 ½” coil and searched the front yard again. There was an area in the northwest portion of the yard with several pieces of shredded aluminum can and pieces of aluminum fascia were just under the surface of the ground. I pulled up several pieces of the aluminum but there was enough metal in the ground that pinpointing was difficult at best. Once again I head to my truck and switch to 4”x6” coil and head back the area with all the aluminum. After another 20 minutes search I found the ring. I spent just over two hours searching this yard,  and even I was beginning to wonder if I could find the ring. But with the right equipment for all kinds of searching you can tilt the odds in your favor.

Ring recovered November 11, 2011.

Kim happy to be holding Ben's wedding ring.

Wedding ring found in Longmont, CO yard

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)

While cleaning up debris left behind by a recent snow storm Matt Smalley lost his 14 kt white gold wedding band. Matt performed an “eyeballing” search for his ring but it was unable to locate his ring. Matt found my profile on Ring Finders and contacted me, giving me the basic information and we set a date for me to come and look for his ring.

I arrived at the prescribed date and time; Matt had taken that afternoon off work so that he would be able to explain his work site and what he was doing the day of the rings loss. The day was a bit cool so after Matt had shown my around he went back into his house to stay warm.

I prepared my equipment and set about on my search. Within a couple of minutes I heard the sound of a ring laying on the surface. As I parted the grass I could see the white gold band that was hiding very well under the leaves and brown grass. I retrieved the ring and made my way to the front door to return Matt’s ring.

Ring recovered November 1, 2011.

Lost ring Downers Grove IL found

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

Received a call about a lost gold wedding band. Apparently, while throwing a football to his young son, his wedding ring flew off. They had searched for a day using a metal detector, but to no avail. I drove out to their house did a search in the backyard for about an hour. I found the ring and united it with the owner. Both the husband and the wife were very happy. I spent about another half hour showing his 3 children how to use my detector and all three found Pennies. It’s a great hobby for kids and I always try to encourage kids to try metal detecting.

Gold wedding ring found in Carlsbad

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

My First gig as a member of The Ring Finders started with a call from a man named Gama, who lost his wedding ring in some straw.

He was setting up a stage inside a large tent where a school play was to take place when his ring came off while spreading the straw around. Though he and his co-workers looked for it, it was the proverbial needle (ring) in a haystack.

I arrived at the school before Gama but was able to talk to one of his co-workers who knew the general area in which the ring was lost. After a few minutes and only one junk target I received a solid “gold ring” sound and found it just under the surface.

I headed back to my truck and waited for Gama to arrive, after a few minutes the co-worker saw me sitting in my truck and came over to see why. I showed him that I found the ring and he couldn’t believe I found it so quickly.

Phone calls were made which kinda ruined the surprised but a happy Gama was the result none the less.

Here’s the wayward circle…

The Rocky Mountains Lost Gold Rings/The Things We Do For Love!

The Things We Do For Love

Hi its Chris Turner here, I just got back from the Rocky Mountains near Lake Louise (20 hour drive there and back) where I met with Wayne who came all the way from Australia (13,204KM) for one day to show me the area his lady friend lost her 5 gold wedding rings by the side of the highway over 14 months ago.

Wayne felt horrible and responsible because he had invited her to come with him to Calgary to help get her mind off things and to see the Rocky Mountains.

His friend took off her rings and put them on her lap to moisturize her hands. Wayne saw a nice photo opportunity and pulled off to the side of the road. While Wayne was taking some pictures of the mountains she jumped out of the car and there went the rings, into the snow.

The thing was she didn’t realize that she’d lost her rings until they got to the airport that night. The rings meant a lot to the lady as they were all from her late husband… Diamond Engagement Ring, Wedding Band, Anniversary Rings…

He felt so bad for his friend that he flew back last Oct. and from the pictures he took in February 2009 he was able to find two of the five rings that were lost. How amazing is that!

He told me that he was on his hands and knees for a day and a half searching for the rings. He was about to give up when he looked down and saw one of her rings…Not far from that ring he found another ring.

He was running out of time so he marked the area where he found the two rings with sticks and rocks, then he used his GPS to tag the area so that he could come back one day and search for the remaining three rings…

When he got back home and gave the two rings to his friend Tia he could see how much it meant to her! Five months later and still hunting him was the fact that there was still three rings out there, he started to search the internet and found my website The Ring Finders.

The first email from Wayne I could tell how much it meant to him to find these three rings for his friend, we set a date and met in Canmore Alberta on April 16, 2010

After meeting Wayne and hearing his story, this was much more then a ring search this was a love story! He knew that his friend Tia loved her husband very much and that the rings were very dear to her, something that could never be replaced and would be passed down to her daughter one day…Hopefully!

I always say every ring has a story, when that ring is lost the story ends… What I try and do is find that ring and help continue that story! And that being said I found them all!

It took me close to one hour and you could see the stress leave his face when the rings were found. They had been there for 14 months on the side of the road and for 14 months he couldn’t stop thinking about these rings…

I found out that he loves this women very, very much and he was such an amazing man to not give up on this search! That was a good thing because they’re doing road work and within months the area the rings were lost at would have been undetectable due to the fact that they are widening the roads.

He is now heading back to Australia with the remaining three rings to surprise her. If you ever wondered what it would feel like to lose something as sentimental as a wedding ring, just think what it would feel like to lose all five rings!

I was as excited as he was knowing that his friend Tia, would be reunited with her rings, it gave me goose bumps to think of what it meant to both of them.

If this was a movie It would be called…  The Things We Do For Love!!! Starring Wayne & Tia …….

I love my job!

Lost something? Call me ASAP!
