Being a boy, he lost his necklace shortly afterward. After Matt’s brother passed away, Matt began wearing his brother’s necklace in remembrance of both his brother grandfather.

LOST WEDDING BAND IN NEW IBERIA, LA.-FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Lani’s husband lost his black tungsten wedding band in a field near their home. They searched with and without a metal detector for a week. I got the call, and once I had an understanding of the job, made the 45-minute trip to the location. I met with Lani to go over the area where the ring was lost. I laid out a search area of about 1000 square feet. The first half was dry, the second had 1″ of water with the grass being about 4 inches tall. The whole area was trash-free, so all sounds were taken seriously.  About halfway thru the second half (the wet one) I got a strong 48 reading on my Garrett. Had to move grass and poke around with the pin-pointer for the ring.  Lani was very happy and so was I. Thank you, Lani, for the generous reward.

Renan contacted me right about sunset asking for help in finding his wedding ring. He had been playing volley ball when as he was striking the ball, his ring flew off of his finger. He, his wife, and friends searched for the ring, but were unable to find it. Also he was on vacation from Brazil, and was not cherishing the thought of leaving it in the USA when he returned home. I was available, and left right away.

When I arrived, it was already dark, but that is not a hindrance for a search at the beach. Renan took me over to the court, and showed me what he had done when striking the ball. I began by searching the most logical possible path the ring probably took when coming off of his hand. I searched just behind where he was standing, right where he was standing, and all the way to the other end of the court from where he was standing, and got nothing but a few pull tabs. At this time I decided to search the whole court, and 10 feet outside of it, searching both sides; nothing again. Now it was time to do a cross grid in order to insure I didn’t miss the ring because it was in a weird position. I began my cross grid on the side he was on originally, and when I got to the center of the court, which was behind and to his right (the ring was on the left hand) by 15 feet, I got a scratchy signal, dug, and scooped up a very thin gold ring. Renan’s friend came right over and identified the ring, and everyone rejoiced. He now can go home with his token of love for his wife of two years.

Meghan contacted me on December 22 regarding her lost ring. She had been on a volley ball court at the beach when it became lost, and because she was getting ready to travel, she was unable to meet me for the search. I let her know I would be able to help, but would need as much information as possible in order to find the ring. She agreed, and began to provide what I needed.

When I got to the beach, I found what I believed was the court to search, and began. I went over much of the court, and then decided to call Meghan to make sure I had everything correct. When we spoke I found that I had been searching the court next to the one she had been on, so I switched, and withing 5 minutes, I was able to let her know the ring was safe. She told me that she would be coming back after January 4th, so we met on the 8th for the return, This ring, made from a silver French Frank was to be her future wedding ring, so it had a great sentimental value for her. I was happy to help.

When Yvonne contacted me it was Christmas Day. She had lost her heirloom ring in the yard, and had been unable to locate it. I let her know that I would be available the next day to do a search for her, so we set up a time for me to come out to her house for the search.

I arrived at the appointed time, and met Yvonne who then took me out to the back of her house to show me the area of the loss. There were a lot of leaves all over the area where she had been pulling weeds, which would make it easy to lose a ring. She also took the weeds and threw them into the horse corral which had a fluffy clay like dirt base. I began looking in the leaves first, and went over them very carefully. There was a lot of other metal there, so I had to work slowly to ensure I did not miss anything, but did not find the ring. I then went into the corral, and searched the area she had thrown the weeds into, and also found nothing. I then switched coils to be able to get tighter into the fencing, and other metal structures in the leafy area, but nothing again. I went back into the corral, searched the area she threw the weeds into, finding nothing, then began to work outside the box. As I worked grid lines further and further out I finally got a signal, looked down, and there on the surface was the ring. It was covered in the clay powder, and very difficult to see. I called Yvonne over, and showed her the ring where I had found it. She told me that she would never had looked in that area, and thought the horse must have been rolling in the dirt, and moved the ring. The ring had been her mother’s, and the thought of losing it was hard to accept. I was so glad to be able to help her retain a memory of her mother.

Spring Lake NJ, Necklace/Pendant lost in the sand, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

How to find ring with metal detector

Mitchell called about finding his lost chain and pendant, which had gone missing on a busy beach two days earlier. I reassured him that it might still be there and suggested we give it a shot. We agreed to meet by the closest road to where he had set up his chair that day.

I arrived a bit early and decided to start searching. The area was large, and I mostly found trash—usually a bad sign, indicating that another detector might have already combed the area. Something didn’t feel right, though, so I went back to review my notes. Mitchell had mentioned being closest to the middle chair, but when I first arrived, I only saw two chairs. Now that some swimmers had left, a third chair was visible, and everything clicked into place—I had been searching in the wrong spot.

This was a reminder of why it’s crucial for the person who lost the item to be there, and arriving early had thrown me off. Just as I realized this and headed to the correct location, I saw another detectorist pass by the spot where Mitchell believed his necklace should be. Fortunately, Mitchell had already arrived and confirmed the location, so we quickly began the search.

Within moments, I found his necklace safely in my scoop. Mitchell could hardly believe it; the necklace was a cherished family heirloom with immense sentimental value, and he had thought it was lost forever.

Ring lost at Ocean Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Pedro was involved in a volleyball game, when his wedding ring decided to take a sand bath. He went online and found TheRingFinders.com and contacted Curtis Cox up the coast a ways. Curtis told him to contact me (thanks Curtis!) as I am a lot closer. When I met Pedro at the beach volleyball court, another detectorist they met on the beach was already there and searching the side of the court that Pedro had been in. I started on the opposite side up against the net and made a couple of passes post to post parallel to the net. With not even one target, I figured I should probably verify the other guy had been thorough with his side. The other guy detecting was already beyond the end line of the court, so, I started on his side up against the net and made a pass there. About 3/4 of the way across, I got a nice 30 tone on my Equinox 900 and told Pedro that this is a good sound for a gold ring. Sure enough, my pin pointer zeroed in on the target and Pedro’s ring was just under the surface of the sand. A pleasure to meet you Pedro, glad you won your game, got your ring back, and thank you for the reward.

On a side note, people should be careful who they ask for help in these situations. I think in this case, the other guy detecting was probably an upstanding individual and would have happily returned the ring, but, that isn’t always the case, as I know a couple of guys that won’t return anything, or, hold it hostage. In addition, you don’t know what sort of expertise these random people have either, and you may just give up if they don’t find the item, thinking that they eliminated that area as the target zone when in reality, they just missed the target, like in this case. All the members here that I’ve worked with know how to properly grid and area, know their machine, and I’m confident that they will return your lost item. Why take a chance, when you can get a GENUINE ring finder!

 

Lost Hearing Aid in Safety Harbor, Fl…Found and Returned!!!

Paula was walking down the outside stairs of her second floor condo in Safety Harbor when she fell down the last few steps and landed hard and face first on the sidewalk. She had not been using the handrail with her hands full and was badly injured including bruises and cuts to her face and a possible fractured collarbone. After she was helped back into her home, Paula realized that one of her hearing aids was missing as a result of the fall. After receiving medical treatment and returning to her home, Paula’s good friend Carol and a family member helped search for the hearing aid in the area where Paula landed but they were unable to find it. Carol found me through social media and contacted me the next day to see if I could help Paula find her hearing aid.

I arrived at Paula’s condo and realized that the search area was very small but did include under the stairs and several areas with shrubs including shrubs that bordered the complex’s pool fencing. I scanned Paula’s other hearing aid for a reading on my Minelab Equinox 900 detector so that I would know exactly what to look for and as I expected, the signal was very weak due to the very small amount of metal in the hearing aid. I also tested my hand held pinpointer because I quickly realized that I would have to do most of my search with it as there was very little room for my detector coil. I began my search on my hands and knees with the pinpointer in the area of shrubs near the fence because it was in the direction of Paula’s fall and also shook the branches of the shrubs just in case the hearing aid was hanging from one of them. I then searched the shrubs beside the stairs and the leafy area underneath the stairs by probing with the pinpointer but no luck. After about 15 or 20 minutes, I walked up the last several steps and looked down towards the sidewalk where Paula had landed when I noticed several red spots on the left side opposite from the area where I had searched. As it turns out, these were blood spots from Paula’s cuts where she fallen and then tried to get up. Carol and Paula believed the hearing aid to be on the right side of the steps since it was in Paula’s right ear. I began a visual and pinpointer search under the shrubs on the left side and after only about a minute I saw the hearing aid laying on the leaves. Paula was thrilled to have her relatively new hearing aid back in her ear! Paula requested that I not take a picture of her smiling face due to the cuts and bruises suffered in her fall so you have mine instead.

Paula and Carol, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find Paula’s hearing aid! It was a pleasure meeting you both!

I received a call from Erik asking if I was available to help in finding a ring lost in the sand at the beach. I was, and let him know that I could be there soon. We arranged to meet there so he could show me where to look.

When I arrived I met Erik and his girlfriend Rowan, and they explained that Rowan had removed her jewelry in order to go out in the surf, but when getting ready put her jewelry back on, she found that one of her rings was missing. She told me how the ring had been in the family for numerous generations, and was given to her by her mother, so the sentimentality of the ring was strong. She said she was on vacation from Vermont, and was fearful the ring would be lost forever. I could see in the sand their search area, and began my search at the edge of it. I received a couple of signals, but the items were so small they fell through the scoop. Then right in the middle of their search area I received a strong signal, dug, and had Rowan’s ring. I called them over to let them know it was found, and she was very happy to know she would be able to go back home with her family treasure.

Taylor contacted me about the loss of her husband’s wedding ring. She had been with him at a volleyball event the day before at the beach. He took the ring off to go in the water, and left it with the beach stuff. When they got ready to go Taylor picked everything up forgetting the ring was there, and the ring was gone in the sand. They looked for as long as they could without any luck. When she called she let me know she would not be able to meet me there, but was able to give me directions as to where to look. I went as soon as possible.

When I arrived at the beach, I was able by the map, and photos to figure where to begin my search. I also noticed that the beach cleaning machines had gone through, but not all the way into the area I was going to search. I began a tight grid going just into where the machines had been. Back and forth, back and forth, and not finding much. After about 20 minutes I began to find some tinfoil, and bottle caps, so I figured I had found the area where they had been the day before. Then right at the edge of the County clean zone I got a solid signal, dug, and found the ring. I sent Taylor a picture, and she confirmed it was her husband’s ring. We met later that day at a local Starbucks to make the return, and she was very happy to have it back.
