LOST PLATNIUM ENGAGEMENT RING IN CAMDEN, SC…..FOUND!!!!!

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

Received a call Wednesday from a gentleman who’s wife had lost her engagement ring while they were out fishing.

They had rented a boat to enjoy spending some quality time fishing together. Just before they were to be putting things away to start heading back, She caought a big catfish and lost her engagement ring mins after the photo was taken. She actually had lost both wedding and engagement but the wedding ring fell in the boat while the engagement feel in about 3-4 feet of water. He tried jumping into the cold water to see if he could save his wife’s ring but sadly with no success. She was understandablly so upset and have been crying.

Thats where I come into the picture. I had to prepare my boat, get my gear ready as I had to plan for a 2.5 hour drive 1-way along with having to cross from the boat ramp side to the other side of the lake to the spot where she lost the ring.

I arrived at 10:00 am, he arrived at about 10:40 and we made the boat ride to the other side. We started where he was pretty confident where she lost it. After a few pulltabs, can pieces, and 2 hours later, I get a good signal that sounds right on top as it should be! After a few scoops I see a platinum diamond ring in the basket!!! By 12:30 ish the ring had been returned. Had to wait for him to get home before he could take a picture of his wife and her happiness!

He told me, “This was so worth it to help my wife stop crying!”

I love helping people find their lost priceless items!!

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Media, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Ron texted me after finding me in the Ring Finders Directory. He was doing some yard work at his home in Media, PA when his 45 year old gold wedding band slipped off his finger. He was 85% sure it fell off in his backyard. He had searched himself for 2-3 hours before calling a professional. I agreed to meet him the next day and upon my arrival he walked me through the area where he thought in fell off. A gold wedding band on the surface has a very unique signal…I also have the ability to zero in my machine on just gold signals. It was quite a large search area…but I started in the area where he spent the most time. 3-4 minutes into the search I received the signal I was hoping for…looked down…and there was his beautiful gold wedding band shining up at me!!! I called Ron  over and to say he was amazed and happy would be an understatement! I was so happy I was able to get his ring back on his finger!!!

Lost Wedding Ring on the Beach, Brant Beach NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Jessica’s husband, Mike, lost his cherished wedding ring on the beach during a beautiful summer afternoon. Unsure of what to do, Jessica posted on social media, sharing the location and town where the ring was lost. Many commenters recommended she contact NJ Ring Finder for help and advised her to take down the post to keep the location private.

A few minutes later, my phone rang—it was Jessica. She explained the situation and provided all the necessary details. I assured her I could head over immediately and asked her to keep the area clear of swimmers to avoid disturbing the spot where the ring might be buried.

Jessica told me I could park in front of their house, and from there, we could take a short walk to the beach. Upon arriving, Mike met me, and as we walked to the sand, he described where he thought the ring had been lost.

Once on the beach, Mike pointed out the general area, and fortunately, his memory was accurate. In about 10 minutes, I located the ring buried approximately eight inches deep in the sand, where the tide had been washing over it.

Had I not arrived so quickly, the ring likely would have been swept out to sea. Thanks to prompt action and a bit of luck, Mike and Jessica were reunited with their treasured wedding ring. This recovery highlights the importance of acting fast in situations like these!

Diamond Earring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wayne, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Chris found me in The Ring Finders directory and dropped me a text. Apparently his wife, Molly, lost a very sentimental earring following breakfast at a local restaurant in Wayne, PA. Prior to meeting them at the restaurant later that day, Chris conveyed to me the following details. Molly had been eating breakfast with some friends and while at the table she felt her earring fall off…she picked it up and thought she put it securely back in her ear…but when she got to her car a few minutes later it was not there. They spent several hours searching for it in the parking lot. On the phone I told them that if it fell off in the gravel parking lot it was just as likely they would find it with their eyes vs with a metal detector because it would be right on the surface. They still wanted me to come search. I met them at the restaurant and prior to getting my detector out of car we walked the parking lot as Molly described how she thought the loss occurred. I then went to get my machine out of the car so I could scan the one earing she still had and then begin the search. Well…while walking back to them after grabbing my detector I was hyper focused on scanning the ground…like most of us Ring Finders do…and sure as heck…there was her beautiful earring!!! No metal detector necessary!!! I walked up to Molly and asked her to stick her hand out…confused…she did so…and I dropped her lost earring in her hand. Her and her husband were so full of surprise and joy that the lost earring was back in their possession!!!

Lost ring in Kirksville Mo…. Found with a metal detector

Contact:

A very nice young man named Kyle called me about trying to recover his 14K wedding band.

He was walking a friend’s dog on a leash in a park when the dog bolted for some reason twisting his fingers and his ring flew off.

He borrowed a metal detector but being unfamiliar with it couldn’t find the ring. This was his father’s ring so he really wanted to find it.

We were there a little over two hours, gridding different sections where the ring was lost when I found it. He was very happy to have it back.

How to find a necklace with metal detector, Beach Haven NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Christina called, asking if I could help find her father-in-law Jerry’s necklace, which he had lost on the beach the day before. I asked if they were still at the beach, and when she said yes, I told them to set up an area so no one could sit where the necklace was possibly lost. They marked off a 50×50 foot area, and when I arrived, we went over the details of the previous day. Jerry was certain we were in the right spot, so I began the search.

I combed one section, then another, but had no luck. We reviewed the situation again, using the lifeguard stand as a reference to pinpoint where Jerry had been sitting. He was still sure the necklace was there, but I hadn’t picked up any signals. I expanded the search, moving closer to the lifeguard stand and down toward the high tide line—still no luck. There were a few people sitting farther down the beach, so I worked around them and searched from another angle, but I still couldn’t find anything.

Most of the family headed back to the house as it got close to dinner time, but I wasn’t ready to give up. Jerry mentioned that the necklace had been placed in the cup holder of his chair, and I knew from experience that necklaces often fall out when chairs are folded up. I made a few passes in the path they likely took back to the house, but again, no luck. Christina, Jerry, and the rest of the group were convinced the necklace had to be there, but after searching the entire area, I came up empty-handed. We considered the possibility that someone might have found it or that the beach rake had picked it up, though neither seemed very likely.

Determined, I returned the next day to give it another shot. I started right where we left off, making slow and careful swings with my metal detector in the area Jerry believed the necklace had fallen. After about 15 minutes, I got a faint signal, a low tone that I hoped was the necklace. Sure enough, there it was in my scoop—Jerry’s cross and necklace, which had eluded us the day before. This was yet another example of persistence paying off. Never give up!

Jerry respectfully requested to not have his picture taken.

Long Distance Recovery, by Dave Milsted

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Allisa called me last week with a unique request. She had lost two rings on her four-acre property and wondered if I could help find them with my metal detector. She had already recovered her engagement ring but was desperate to locate her missing wedding band. Another detectorist had quoted her $250 per hour, but I don’t charge for these searches; I work on a reward basis. The catch? Her property was a three-hour drive away.

She explained that in a moment of frustration, she had thrown both her wedding band and engagement ring. The engagement ring was found, but the yellow gold wedding band, adorned with many diamonds, was still missing. She and her husband had searched extensively, even weed-whacking and raking the area, but to no avail.

I initially offered to drive up on Sunday, but Allisa hesitated, concerned about the distance. Instead, I suggested a simple trick she could try that very night. I told her to go out to the area after dark with a powerful flashlight and scan the area where she had found her engagement ring. I emphasized the importance of doing it before any rain or dew settled on the grass. She agreed to give it a try.

The next day, I received an ecstatic text message. Within ten minutes of following my instructions, Allisa had found her wedding band! She was overjoyed, and honestly, it made my day too.

I Love My Hobby!!

How to find a lost ring in the water

  • from Clemson (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

How to find a lost ring in the water? Call me, it’s what I do. (864)535-4347, Dwight Childress. I have over 8 yrs of metal detecting experience land and water with scuba certifications for those deeper recoveries. On this particular recovery I got the call about a couple walking their dog near a very popular swimming area in Downtown Greenville. The woman slipped and lost her ring in the water. I came prepared to snorkel and search for her ring. As I was wading along sweeping my detector, I heard a loud beep! Something much bigger than a ring. I donned my snorkel gear and submerged. I came up with a ring and a phone. Excitedly she exclaimed, “oh wow you found my phone also!” Yup she wasn’t as worried about her phone so never mentioned it but still very excited to have it back. It was a great recovery.

Lost ring found Greenville SC

  • from Clemson (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Lost ring found with metal detector. Dwight Childress (864)535-4347. Got the call late one day about a guy throwing scraps over his fence into the woods behind his house. He felt his ring come off and he heard a “Thunk”. I came over and began sweeping the area, left, right, up, down. Unsuccessfully completing the first grid search and reevaluating his recollection of the story, I decided to expand my outer grid a little more and BAM! Shining like a star hidden in the grass was his ring. It was a great feeling. He had his whole family out and his kids. I let his little boy use one of my detectors and may have started him down a path of the next Ring Finder.
