Lost Iowa Hawkeye Lettermen Ring… Found Iowa City, Iowa

Contact:

I received a call from Jim in early September about his lost Iowa Hawkeye Lettermen’s Ring. He graduated from the University of Iowa in 1972 and lettered in track and had the ring to prove it until Sept. 2nd.

He and his family went to the Hawkeye football opener in Iowa City on Sept. 2nd. It was a hot sunny Iowa afternoon and Jim applied some sunscreen before the game and isn’t sure but later he thought he might have placed his ring on top of his car while applying the sunscreen and then forgot it.

He realized during the game that his ring was missing and of course they looked for it but couldn’t find it. On the way home his son was sitting in the backseat and heard something rattling around on top of the car. When he looked out the back window he thought he saw something gold hit the pavement and then go in the ditch. So he told Jim to stop he thought it was his ring that fell off the car.

They borrowed a metal detector and searched for 2 hours and didn’t find it. Later that week he found me online and contacted me and we met the next Sat. at the location. We had five of us searching with two metal detectors for over four hours and didn’t find it.

I went back on Sunday the next day for almost 3 hours and didn’t come up with it. For any of you who have attempted to search a road ditch you know how brutal it can be. There is always so much trash and the weeds are high, plus the traffic is distracting.

I had prior commitments and work for the next month of weekends but I finally made it back out there on Oct. 15th. I switched to my 6 inch coil to get through the weeds easier and separate through the trash. After an hour and a half I got a good signal next to a buried pop can and I found it!!

Here is a short video of the recovery

Plus some pictures

Promise Ring Found Broadmoor Estates Sherwood Park, Alberta Canada

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

    

Braden called me last evening around 7:00 pm requesting my service to locate his girlfriend’s promise ring which was lost in front of her house,  either on the road or lawn.   I told him I would be there within the hour.

When I met Braden he told me that he had spent over two hours in the dark cold blustery evening searching for the ring.  He told me where he thought the ring might be and I found the ring on the road two feet from where we stood. Braden had considered going out and purchasing a metal detector from Canadian Tire but as he was searching on Google he found me and The Ringfinders.

Thank you Braden for entrusting me to find your Promise Ring. Another happy client.

Lost Diamond Platinum engagement ring found in Norridge, Il

  • from Chicago (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

Got a call this morning telling me a engagement ring given 50yrs ago was lost in a yard, but it was lost in June. This was a concern knowing now it would not be a surface find anymore but have to give it a shot, I planned on being there most of the morning.

I was quite surprised when my very first signal was about 2 inches deep and pulled out this beautiful platinum wedding ring, not to mention how surprised the husband was.

He walked away crying when I showed it to him.

This is what makes this job fantastic!!!

Rescuing Memories: A Tale of a Titanium Ring Recovery at Mondo’s Beach

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

This afternoon, while perusing the Lost and Found section on Craigslist, I stumbled upon a distressing post—a plea for help to find a lost Titanium wedding band at Mondo’s beach in Ventura. The story unfolded with Jared, enjoying an afternoon surf session while his wife and young daughter basked in the sun on the sandy shores. In a sudden twist of fate, as Jared’s wife rose from her spot, the ring slipped from her grasp and disappeared into the soft grains of sand beneath them.

The frantic search that ensued only added to the chaos, with multiple hands delving into the sand, inadvertently moving the ring further from its original location. With Jared’s directions pinpointing the approximate spot at Mondo’s, I set out with determination, fueled by my familiarity with the beach from countless surfing ventures.

Meeting Jared at the scene, we wasted no time in identifying the area of interest. Within moments, my trusty XP Deus metal detector signaled a promising find—a clear indication that the lost treasure lay just beneath the surface. With swift precision, I unearthed the buried ring, gleaming softly in the fading sunlight.

As the golden rays of dusk enveloped us, a sense of triumph washed over Jared and me. Another precious memory salvaged, another heartache averted.

Found a Great Wedding Ring Today!

Contact:

I was contacted on Oct. 19th about a woman’s lost wedding ring. About a month ago Paula had been pulling weeds around her yard and was throwing them down a steep hill when she realized her wedding ring went flying with the weeds. Her husband rented a detector and then bought a cheaper detector in the hopes of locating the ring. After hours of searching he decided he needed some help. I arrived this morning around 9:00 a.m. and he showed me the location that he already had marked out with orange flags. I made my way back and forth between the flags and I believe it was my third or fourth good signal I found her ring! It came up at 12-12 on the CTX3030.

I was very happy to help this nice couple recover her ring and thanks for the great reward.

Lost Wedding Band Found In Langley, BC.

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

I got a call from a young man asking if I could help him find his lost wedding band. What I didn’t know was he lost his wedding band 24 hours after he was married. When I arrived at his parents place he told me the story how he came to find out that his ring was gone at the end of the day. The thing was he didn’t know exactly where the ring had fallen off his finger.

He said that he was playing ping pong in the back yard and was doing a few other things in the yard that day. It was a big yard and it took me 2 hours to do a cross grid search, with no luck. I asked if he had checked his car and he said he vacuumed and checked it inside out but no ring. It was looking like it would have to be in his parents house but for some reason I felt like I needed to check the car as in my experience rings have a way of finding hiding spots.

After 2 minutes of search the car and under the passengers seat I caught a glimpse of his ring in a little hiding spot for the seat motor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I believe if I didn’t check the car it would have been there for a very long time…If I had started the car first it would have been a fast recovery!!

I love my job! If you’ve lost your ring please contact a member nearest your location on TheRingFinders.com

A ring return just hours before hurricane Jose hit Cotuit, MA.

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Kevin was playing ball in the last of the summer’s warm water when the his wedding band slipped into the water. A group of friends spent many hours of searching without the result they desired. A call to J&E Enterprise lead Kevin to calling me for help. Hurricane Jose was coming with high winds, surf and winds, I had to go NOW. Passing up the National Hamburger Day dinner, I was off to a little known beach to start a search. I had Kevin’s description of where to search and Elizabeth was to meet up with me to add more information.

I arrived about an hour before Elizabeth showed up on the beach. I had searched the area Kevin had described. Now with a few more questions answered I moved the search area over another 30 feet. After covering the new area I was on my own. I had to widen the search area and did so by working the wet sand area. I did a turn and magically Ted was standing there watching me. He told me he was Kevin’s friend going back to early school days. He then suggested I cover the area where he would through a rock to. Well that did not go too well as his arm was not in good enough shape to toss a rock far enough. So into the water I went with instructions for Ted to tell me were to stop and search. Another 10 yards past were I had searched I was told to stop. I marked off 5 yards either side of the “stop” mark. I started searching in the direction Elizabeth had said to move from where I had searched. Another 10 minutes and the shining white gold ring was glittering in my scoop. A good thing as I could see and feel some of Jose’s force heading our way.

Timing is always of the essence in locating a lost item. The earlier a search can be started the better the chance for a recovery is. A hint for anyone that “looses” an object is to mark the area, take pictures, note any physical objects that can be used as a reference point then call a RingFinder. If an item is lost in the water, drop a few coins in the area as a “marker” for a searcher to look for. Or as Kevin did – have friends able to help in the search. If it had not been for Ted showing up and putting me in the proper area, I would not have found the ring that afternoon. And it might not have been a couple of days before the hurricane would pass and detecting would be safe to do again.

Thanks Ted!

Ted texted Kevin, Elizabeth and the other friends that had helped in the previous days of searching. Kevin called, thanked me and I gave the ring to Ted to return to Kevin…Done and pictures added.
