Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (also known as THE RING HERO) searches  Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses and Vehicles. He Will Find Your Lost Item! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Yvette is a teacher in Darnstown, Maryland. During recess, one of her students ended up breaking Yvette’s gold chain off of her neck. As a result, a very special 14 karat white gold and multiple diamond cross (which her husband had given her 24 years earlier) went missing somewhere on the playground. The chain and three charms were eventually recovered but when Yvette and her staff searched for the missing pendant, all of their efforts led to no avail.

Yvette was heartbroken over the loss of her special crucifix. She immediately called her husband Richard for help and he heroically drove to the school with a metal detector hoping to find the lost piece of jewelry. After an hour of searching, Yvette’s husband threw in the towel and it was time to look for another solution.

I received a phone call from Yvette shortly after Richard had finished using the metal detector that he acquired to conduct their own search. They looked online and found my company, METAL DETECTING ADVENTURES INC which highlighted my successes in an elite directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS. I was excited to be asked to come to the search site to see if I could solve the mystery of the missing pendant!

When I arrived at the elementary school, I was greeted by Yvette, Richard and 20 excited children who were part of an after-school program. They were beyond intrigued to see if this item recovery specialist who was hired to save the day might possibly find Yvette’s beloved diamond cross.

I gathered up the necessary metal detecting equipment in my vehicle and then headed over to the search site with my client. The Bar-T children excitedly waited outside of the fenced in area of the tot lot in order to let the professional do his miracle work. And boy did a miracle happen!

As soon as I entered into the playground area, I asked my client where the three charms were recovered after the necklace was torn off of her neck Yvette pointed to the concrete sidewalk on the other side of the fenced-in area where all of the restless children were watching and waiting. I put my head over the fence and looked straight down where the children were hanging out. Literally within a second’s time, my eyes immediately locked in on Yvette’s missing 14 carat white gold and diamond cross! I couldn’t believe it! In one second I recovered my client’s beloved crucifix! I quickly and excitedly pointed directly at the discovered sentimental keepsake and yelled, “There it is!” All of the children including my clients looked straight down at where I was pointing and yet no one at first saw what I had identified! And then a moment later there was an eruption of cheers and excitement as I made my way through the playground gate in order to retrieve the little gold treasure that had been patiently waiting to be recovered! There it was… Yvette’s very special jewel! The search was over before it had officially begun!

Yvette’s beautiful diamond crucifix had been lying right there in the middle of the concrete that entire time since it was lost hours earlier that day! Countless adults and children had walked right over it and no one had any idea that the white gold and multiple diamond pendant had been resting there all along!

I have to admit that in all of the years of recovering hundreds of pieces of jewelry and other highly valued items for people, I have never found an item this quick before! What a fun “eyeball” recovery search indeed! The kids went crazy! I hugged my clients with jubilation and joy while many of the children extended their hands for countless fist pumps and high fives!

I will never forget this particular search story because this was a very rare situation. While I returned the metal detecting equipment to my vehicle, Yvette and Richard shared the amazing moment with teachers who opened up their windows on the second floor of the school just to find out what the commotion was all about! They too couldn’t believe where I located the cross!

As a metal detectorist and item recovery specialist, these are the kind of stories that continue to bring me great joy when sharing them with countless others who need the kind of hope and relief that I was able to successfully extend to my very happy clients, Yvette and Richard!

Lost Silver Pendant Found

  • from Oregon City (Oregon, United States)

I received a call from a young lady asking if I would be willing to come help her find a pendant she had lost a few months ago while mowing the yard. She described it as sterling silver with diamonds, “about the size of a penny.” Being Oregon, there had been inches of rain since it had been lost, followed by a good length of hot, dry weather.

She had found my listing on Ring Finders and knew it was more than a 500 mile round trip, but hoped I would be willing to make the trip if she covered the fuel cost. I told her I would head down the next morning and got my gear loaded-up for an early start. I took the Equinox 700 and Pro-find 35 pinpointer, along with my AT Gold as a backup.

After my 4 hour drive down, I met Abigail, and she showed me the area of the yard she was certain the pendant had been lost. She told me she had used an older metal detector that was in her family to search the area, and I could see she had also dug out a section of the grass by hand. I pulled out the Nox 700 with a 11″ coil and began going over the area. I quickly discovered this area was littered with metal. Abigail watched as I pulled out a few nails and couple of screws.

After about 30 minutes, I realized I needed a new approach. I switched over to my 5″ coil and started agian. Right away, I handed Abigail a penny, followed quickly by a second one. Just a few feet away, I heard a good tone, but it was faint and the VDI showed it to be several inches deep. I had to check, so I hit it with the pinpointer and pulled-up a clump of dried grass and saw the faint edge of something shiny, A bit of scraping with my finger and out popped the missing pendant! (I’m guessing the erroneous depth reading was due to the size of the item and how it was laying)

I palmed it and swept the pinpointer around a few times. I stood up and asked Abigail if she could tell me again what the item looked like. She said she had a picture of it on her phone and started scrolling. I asked, “Does it look like this?” and dropped the pendant in her hand.  I think all of us love to see that suprised, happy look.

Oh, and I did point out that it was smaller than a penny.

 

A Tale of Redemption: Recovering a Precious Necklace in Somis CA

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

In the quiet of Sunday night, a distress call reached my ears, echoing with the urgency of Kirsten’s plea. Her voice trembled as she recounted the loss of her beloved Emerald and Diamond 18k gold necklace—a cherished memento of her late husband and son. Each stone held a memory, each setting a tribute to their enduring love. Determined to restore what was lost, I pledged to find it.

Today, under the bright Thursday sun, I stood at the threshold of Kirsten’s horse corral and riding arena—the suspected grounds of the necklace’s disappearance. With methodical precision, I charted a course, focusing my efforts on the sprawling expanse of the riding arena.

Navigating the challenges posed by the detector’s struggle with intricate gold chains, I embarked on the search. The arena’s terrain, a medley of sand, dirt, and layered felt, posed a formidable obstacle. Undeterred, I devised a meticulous grid, commencing from the heart and expanding outward, left to right.

As the hours ticked by, my persistence bore fruit—a resounding tone pierced the air, signaling a breakthrough. With bated breath, I knelt, my pinpointer guiding the way. And then, amidst the earth’s embrace, a glimmer of gold emerged—a testament to perseverance and hope.

In the triumph of that moment, Kirsten’s joy knew no bounds. Tears of relief mingled with gratitude as the necklace was returned to its rightful place—a symbol of love reclaimed.

When treasures slip through fingers and hope wanes, trust in the expertise of a metal detector expert to illuminate the path to recovery.

Gold and Diamond Pendant Lost in House .. Calabasas, CA. .. Found in Carpet

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Sunday afternoon I received a call from Marie who had lost a small gold and diamond heirloom pendant inside a house. She had been visiting friends in Calabasas, CA. when the pendant slipped off the chain while attempting to put on her necklace. The small pendant fell somewhere in the room which had a very thick carpet. Everybody in the family tried to find it with no success.
When Maria contacted me, I explained that it is difficult to use my normal metal detector inside a home. I have small hand held detectors that may work, depending on the location. Sometimes there are electrical noises like alarm systems or computer system equipment that interfere with metal detectors. Listening to her story, she may have also lost it outside the house, so we had to give it a try.
Maria didn’t want to bother her hosts anymore this day, asking me if I could come Monday. It was about noon Monday when I met her friend’s husband, Dave at the residence . He walked me into the room where the loss occurred. He had disassembled the bed removing the mattress and had moved the dresser to the other side of the room.
Two years ago I bought a UniProbe detecting unit just for situations like this. As a backup I chose to use my Garrett Pro-Pointer AT pinpointer.
Working on my hands and knees I covered about an 8’x 8′ area before I got a signal. There deep in the thick carpet was Maria’s very sentimental pendant. Dave was elated and couldn’t believe that it was found in a place that so many had looked. I was also impressed by how well my UniProbe pinpointer unit worked with such a small piece of gold. I did not get to meet Maria but I was the first person to tell her by phone that her priceless keepsake was found.
