LOST 18K GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN SALISBURY, NC…..FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

This young man called me up saying he lost his wife’s 18k gold engagement ring! I’m thinking to myself, “HOW DID YOU LOSE IT?!?” I said ok tell me what happend..

Story goes, It was getting dark, they were on a walk enjoying spending time together. It was cold, they were horsing around and she was afraid of losing her ring so she takes it off and puts it on her thumb to slid it into her husband’s shirt pocket for “SAFE KEEPING”!! A few mins later he did something to cause her to chase him and he stumbles and falls down a slope. He didn’t think anything about it until he realized he lost his watch. Then he checked his shirt pocket, and his heart sank, the ring wasn’t there!!!!

He called me up and I shot over in the dark. He wasn’t 100% sure where he fell so I was scanning about 50 yards of possibilities. Lots if signales and sadly I didn’t find it that night. I advised him to try and find his watch during the day and to try and narrow the search area a little.

The next day he goes back to site and finds his watch. It was just about dark again and rain was coming in on Saturday. So I told him I’ll be there first thing Sunday morning!

I arrive, get my gear and we walk over to where he found his watch. I set my machine to 40-61 range, because the ring looked very thin. I didn’t find it, so I changed my range to VDI 40-72. BOOM! Got a 62 and there it was just under some dirt!!!

I love helping people find lost items! It makes my heart happy and to see the joy, happiness and relief on their face!

Jessica called a bit upset because she had just lost her custom made diamond halo ring in her yard only 30 minutes before, and was not able to find it. I tried to see if it was possible to help over the phone, and she tried , but still was unable to find it. It was already dark, and because it was her yard I knew it wasn’t going anywhere, so we arranged to have me come and do a search the next day.

As I was driving up to her house, I did not realize how steep the properties were, so I began to really think about how I was going to do the search. I found the house, and Jessica took me to the back yard where she explained that she was removing the cover from one of her patio chairs, when with the flick of her finger the ring came off in the dark. She heard it ping on the brick deck, and it was gone. I did a visual check of the deck, and there were very few places the ring could have went. Then I looked over the deck railing, and there was about a 20 foot drop with one foot terraces at 3 foot intervals with different types of plants growing. I could see where Jessica had been looking on the first terrace  because the tall decorative grass was flattened from her walking on it. Because the grass was so thick I made sure to search it diligently, but no ring. I then moved to the second terrace, and within a couple of minutes found her very pretty ring. I held it up for her which made her very happy. She then told me it was also her birthday, which made this recovery very special.

Luna called. She had lost her promise ring right at the water’s edge at the beach the day before, and was wondering if I could help her. I let her know that I would meet her there at her earliest convenience, so we arranged a time to meet.

I got to the beach, and found Luna very quickly because there were very few people there. There were a couple of areas, and a stretch sand to cover. I searched each spot she showed me, and then worked on the stretch of sand. I made pass after pass finding a few trash metal pieces, and then got a nice faint signal in the head phones. I put my scoop in, and pulled out a delicate small ring which turned out to be the one we were looking for. She was very happy to have it back.

Georgia called letting me know she had lost her engagement ring at the beach. It was dark at the time, but she was hopeful that I would be able to help her. I told her that I was available, and would come right away.

I got to the beach in a good amount of time because of traffic at this hour, and met up with Georgia. We went to the area of the loss where she explained what she believed happened to lose the ring. I went right to working a tight grid in the darkness. Finding pieces of trash metal is not uncommon. so to dig every signal especially at night is very important. After about 10 minutes I had her ring, and was able to return it to her. It helps when the person can meet me at the spot to narrow down the search area, and this was another reason for success. She very happy to have her ring back.

Having lost his wedding ring in the sand at the beach, and not being able to find it David called and asked if I would be able to help. To insure a high possibility of a recovery, I let him know I would do the search as soon as I could get there, leaving right away, not allowing too much time to pass.

When I got there David took me out to the area of the loss, and explained how it occurred. I began my search in a tight grid, so as to make sure I covered every inch of sand. It did not take long, and I had David’s ring in my scoop. He was very happy to have it back. Another bonus was that the loss, and the recovery were both on his birthday. It was nice to be able to “present” him with his ring.

I was contacted by Brayden who had lost his wedding ring of one month in the sand of a volley ball court at the beach. I was available, and let him know that my services were ready at that moment. We arranged to meet, and I was on my way.

After I arrived, I made my way down to the beach,and found Brayden and his newlywed wife. They showed me the court, and where they thought the ring might have gone. I readied my equipment, and began the search. I covered the area, and realized it was time to search out of the box. It did not take much longer and I had his ring to return. Needless to say the newlyweds were very happy to have his ring back. Great smiles all around!

Eric contacted me concerning his lost wedding ring. He had been at the beach playing fetch with his dog, when switching hands, he threw the toy with his left hand, and his ring was gone, I was ready to get my equipment together and get to the beach to help him.

When I got there Eric saw me, and waved me over. We then walked over to the area of the loss. It was sizable because the dog had been very active. Also He had a detector of his own, but was unable to find the ring. I began my search one grid line at a time. When I had just about finished the second line, I got a very nice signal in the head phones, dug, and had Eric’s ring. He then told me how it was his grandfather’s ring handed down to him, so the sentimentality was off the charts. Also he had only been married for a month, and for that reason alone the ring had to be found. LOL! Eric was very happy to have the ring back, and I was happy to been able to help him.

Ring lost in SUV found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Rose was sitting in the back seat with her young child sitting in the middle seat, when the child started to get a bit fussy. To help with a little distraction, Rose gave the child one of her rings to hold. Well, that didn’t last long as the ring was dropped and disappeared. Not seeing the exact moment of the drop, a search ensued but, it couldn’t be found. With the prospect of an expensive trip to a repair shop to have the seats removed, Rose tried to tell herself that it didn’t really matter that much. After a couple of months, that ring still was on her mind, so, she searched for an alternative way to maybe recover it. An online search brought her to TRF and my contact info. We discussed the situation over the phone and decided to give my services a try. When I arrived, I got the full story and was shown the vehicle in question. The middle seats didn’t move forward or backward….just the seat back would fold down. With my inspection camera, I could see underneath the seat that there were all sorts of cracks and crevices the ring could have ended up in. After looking around underneath for a while, I tried a different tact. Looking down from the top, I tried to figure out where the ring could possibly have gone down. There weren’t many spaces wide enough for the ring to pass through. One spot by the seat belt where the middle seat met the side seat looked promising, so, down the inspection camera probe went. At the bottom, I got what looked to possibly be the edge of a ring, so, I asked Rose for a more detailed description, and she showed me a photo of the ring she had on her phone. We both looked at the screen on my inspection camera, and while I wiggled the probe around a bit, we got a better look at the object. YES! That’s it! Now the fun part….trying to get it out without having to remove the seat. I had brought with me many tools, and chose to use some “magic fingers” which is a 4 tine fingered grabber mechanics use to retrieve things from tight areas. After a couple of failed tries, I managed to get a good grab on it. Now the tricky part trying to work it up and out without it coming loose from my tool. After a few twists and turns, it was free and back on Rose’s finger. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

 

Wedding Band Lost at Honeymoon Island State Park, Dunedin, Fl….Found By Dunedin Ring Finder!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)

John and Stephanie were enjoying a day at the beach. John was doing some paddle boarding and his wedding ring slipped off of his finger into the water. Before they left the beach, someone told them about my free metal detecting service so Stephanie contacted me with the details of the loss location. I searched a few hours in the water that day but was unsuccessful. I went again the next day and found and returned a small beach sand sifter that a little girl had lost in the water. About an hour later and working my way into shallower water, I was able to scoop John’s ring out of the sand in knee deep water! Before I left the beach, I was asked to find an Oura ring that a young lady named Katy had lost in very shallow water while holding her two year old. I was able to find that ring as well but Katy had already left the beach so I mailed it back to her!
