LOST PLATINUM WEDDING SET IN GREENSBORO, NC…..FOUND!!!!

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

I received a text from a sweet lady that lost both her rings while cleaning up acorns in her backyard.

She was putting them into a roadside trash bin and realized later that her rings were missing. She dumped out one bin and checked and didn’t see them or find them with a friends metal detector. I scanned that first then I scanned the backyard and didn’t find them.

Then she mentioned the other trash bin, so I pulled it over and dumped it out on the tarp with the other acorns I had already scanned and I got a hit. First I found the diamond ring and quickly scanned again and there was the wedding band just a few inches away.

She mentioned her late husband had lost his gold ring in the yard somewhere so I asked if I could try and find it. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get over it. She wasn’t sure where he was or what he was doing when he lost it.

Lost Ring in Hackettstown, NJ? Metal Detecting Recovery Service – Northwest New Jersey

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

I’ve just joined The Ring Finders as the member covering northwest New Jersey.

I’m Kevin Lisankie of Skylands Detecting. If you’ve lost a ring, a watch, keys, or any other metal item in your yard, a park, a lawn, a field, or shallow water, I can come out and find it. I use a Minelab Manticore, which is the best detector made for picking small gold and silver out of trashy ground, and I’ve been detecting northwest NJ for years.

Besides lost jewelry and keys, I also locate buried property pins and iron survey markers, and buried water shut-off valves.

Call or text me as soon as you can — the sooner I get there, the better the odds. Don’t rake, dig, or run a leaf blower over the area first; that just moves the item.

Platinum wedding band lost, recovered, and returned in Rockton, Illinois.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

 

 

I received a text message from Charles a few days ago. He said he was in his backyard playing football with his daughters on Saturday when he noticed that his platinum wedding band was missing! He figured before going out and buying a metal detector, he’d give a professional from TheRingFinders.com a shot at finding it first. (Smart move) So, Charles and I made plans to meet on Monday after work. When I arrived Charles took me into the backyard and showed me where they were playing football 🏈 on Saturday and the suspected area. So I did a typical grid search. Working from right to left. On my 5th pass I heard what I was waiting for! A nice double tapping low tone! A solid 62 VDI on the DĒUS II! It only took me about 25 mins or less to find it. But, there it was! Tucked under the plush grass and hidden out of plain sight!

Beautiful ring!

 

And… another smile for the book!!

Lost Gold Signet Ring While Working in Backyard — Found!

John’s Gold Signet Ring Recovery — The Hunt Begins

The call came in around 10:30 that morning.

John had lost something very special in his backyard — an engraved gold signet ring. He had been doing some landscaping when the ring disappeared, and despite searching, he just couldn’t find it.

When I arrived, John showed me the area where he thought he had lost it.

The area was a fairly steep beautiful back yard, terraced bank covered with grass and pine straw, with landscape lights, metal plant stakes, and plenty of other metal throughout the area. I knew right away I was going to be hearing all kinds of signals and would have to carefully work through each one.

I started at the lower end of the bank and began working my way through the area.

High tones.
Low tones.
Iron tones.
More metal.

There was a lot going on underneath that pine straw.

Before I started, I had asked John if he had a picture of the ring. Fortunately, he did. That turned out to be a big help because I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for — and what kind of signal that gold signet ring might produce.

After about 20–30 minutes of searching, I got a signal that caught my attention.

It was a multi-tone signal, and it sounded like there were two pieces of metal sitting right next to each other.

That was enough to make me stop and investigate.

I started digging…

Pulled back the pine straw…

And there it was.

BINGO! 🎯

One large men’s engraved gold signet ring!

After working through all those signals and fighting through the terrain, that moment when the ring finally appears is what makes these recoveries so rewarding.

Most importantly, John got his ring back.

Another lost ring found.
Another happy owner.

Beautiful Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Villanova, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

John was throwing a football around with his son in the backyard of his Villanova, PA home when he felt and saw his wedding band fall off his finger. He was in the process of catching a ball when the ring fell off…how far could it be??? John ordered a cheap metal detector off Amazon to try to locate himself but no luck. I’ll say here that about half of the people that call looking for my help usually spend money renting or buying a cheap metal detector before calling me. It rarely works out…those cheap detectors rarely work but even more important is the experience of the operator! Anyway, John found me in the Ring Finder Directory and texted me. I arrived at John’s house the next day and after a quick reenactment of how the loss occurred I went to work scanning the yard. It wasn’t long before I got the gold ring signal I was hoping for. I bent down and used my pinpointer in the thick grass to reveal his beautiful gold band! It’s always so satisfying to be able to come through for people…I was very happy to put John’s ring back on his finger!

Beautiful Gold/Malachite Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Ben was playing an intense beach volleyball match at the Drexel University courts in Philadelphia, PA when his beautiful wedding band flew off his finger. He said it flew through the air and hit his teammate closer to the net. He looked for it himself for a while but finally decided to look for a professional. He found me in the Ring Finders Directory and texted me. I told him I could be there the next morning. He texted me a satellite view of the court where he lost the ring and circled on the picture where he was standing when the ring flew off. I arrived at the courts at 10 am and began the search. After 10 minutes, and digging at least 25 coins, I finally got the gold ring signal I was looking for. After a quick search of sand and the use of my essential pin pointer…There it was!!! Found it!!! Ben’s wife, Emily, met me at the court and I was so happy to be able to give her husband’s cherished ring!!!

Lost ring found in Champlin Minnesota yard

  • from Coon Rapids (Minnesota, United States)

A Ring Lost, a Memory Found ❤️

While weeding the garden, a prized gold ring was accidentally lost somewhere in the garden, yard, at the time they weren’t sure. They thought it could possibly be inside the house. Despite searching, it was nowhere to be found. The thought of mowing the lawn was especially concerning, as there was a fear the ring could get caught in the mower blades and be destroyed.

But this was no ordinary ring. The story behind it made the loss even more heartbreaking.

The man’s mother had helped fund the purchase of the ring, but she was tragically killed by an inattentive driver in an accident that also injured others. Before her passing, the words “Till death do us part” had been inscribed inside the ring as a lasting token of love, appreciation, and remembrance.

After gathering all the information, he looked at me and said, “I pray you find this in twenty seconds.”

I grabbed my metal detector and pin

pointer, and the search was on!

Twenty seconds later… I found the ring!

The ring was recovered and returned to its grateful owner. Holding back tears of appreciation, he reminded me just how much this small piece of gold meant to him.

Some recoveries are about finding lost valuables. Others are about helping someone reconnect with a precious memory and a loved one they will never forget.

This was one of those recoveries.

It’s a moment I’ll always remember, and a powerful reminder that sometimes the smallest objects carry the greatest meaning. ❤️

Lost Wedding Band… Found at Elk Run Heights, Iowa

Contact:

I received a call from Tom about finding his lost wedding band. He was mowing his yard and had some low hanging branches on a tree in the back yard.

He tried to hold a limb up and mow under it with his riding mower when the limb pulled his wedding band off. Of course they searched for it and came up empty.

I went today and gridded the area under and near the tree and after an hour found the ring. Thanks for the call out and reward.

LOST WHITE GOLD WEDDING RING TEGA CAY, SC…..FOUND!!!

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

Received a text from a young man that said his wife lost her rings in their front yard and asked me if I could come find one of the two rings. They ended up finding the engagement ring but were unable to find the wedding ring.

We agreed to Sunday morning and I get there, get my machine dialed in and start my search. The area was about 5×5 area and took me less than 5 mins find it! Took me longer to set up the machine than it took to find the ring.

They weren’t home at the time so I placed the ring in a secure spot until they got back home and they sent me a photo of his wife holding up the ring.

Another recovery and a precious ring back where it belonged!!
