The Tale of a Lost Wedding Ring Found in Fishertown, PA

  • from Altoona (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

In the quiet town of Fishertown, Pennsylvania, a seemingly mundane backyard became the setting for a remarkable story of loss, perseverance, and discovery. It all started when Dennis, a local resident, reached out with a desperate plea for help: he had lost his cherished wedding ring amidst the tangled brush and babbling creek behind his home.

Dennis his wife and their sons had scoured the area tirelessly in search of the missing ring. Determined to leave no stone unturned, Dennis spared no expense, investing in tools like a weed whacker to clear away the dense vegetation and even a high-end metal detector to aid in the search. Despite their best efforts, the ring remained elusive, slipping through their fingers time and time again.

Frustrated and disheartened, Dennis contacted me to help him locate his ring.
Armed with my detector and usual determination, I ventured into Dennis’s backyard, ready to search for the ring that had eluded him for so long. After an hour of meticulous searching, a glimmer of hope emerged from the depths of the underbrush. There, nestled among the foliage in an area previously searched by Dennis, lay the elusive wedding ring, gleaming in the dappled sunlight.

At that moment, joy and relief washed over Dennis as he beheld his long-lost treasure, now miraculously returned to him. Grateful beyond words, Dennis expressed his heartfelt gratitude. The moment of discovery was nothing short of magical, filled with a sense of triumph and joy that words cannot adequately describe. As the saga of the lost wedding ring drew to a close, a newfound passion was ignited within Dennis. Inspired by his encounter with the world of metal detecting, he resolved to embrace it as a hobby, eager to explore new avenues of adventure and discovery.

And so, amidst the tranquil surroundings of Fishertown, PA, the tale of the lost wedding ring served as a reminder that sometimes, the greatest treasures can be found not in riches or material possessions, but in the bonds of friendship and the shared experiences that unite us all. And as long as lost rings are waiting to be reunited with their owners, I’ll be there, ready to embark on the next great adventure.

Lost wedding ring in ocean, Melbourne Beach, Florida….Found with a Metal Detector!

Nathanael texted me late one night to see if I could help him find his platinum wedding ring which he lost in the surf while videoing himself and a friend. (He actually had a video of the very moment that he lost his ring…which he did not even realize at the time!). I asked him a few questions and come to find out he had posted on Facebook that night about his loss and even had a few people respond…offering to help him. I normally ask people NOT to post online where and when they lost something as I want to be able to offer my service and actually attempt a search and recovery before a bunch of “people” show up and start randomly searching. Many times there are “good people” who offer to look for and try and help find a lost item with the good intention of returning the lost item if they happen to find it…which is GREAT and what we hope and pray happens…BUT there are those “other people” who will go out and if they find it they will NOT return it to the rightful owner! So in this case I told Nathanael that I would not be able to conduct a proper search with the high possibility of others showing up and searching as well and plus it would be an hour and a half drive one way. Nathanael understood and I wished him luck and said goodbye!

An hour later I received another call from a young lady who lost a diamond engagement ring in the grass and she was only 7 miles away from where Nathanael lost his ring in the surf…in the same town of Melbourne! Both individuals were leaving the very next day from Melbourne and I felt compelled to go real early and trust God to help me find the young lady’s lost engagement ring and then I could drive the 7 miles to the beach and get set up early and chase the tide out until I got over Nathanael’s ring. God gave me peace to attempt both searches in one day! I was able to find Jessica’s ring in about 20 minutes and actually got over to the Hilton by 9:30…which was 5 hours before low tide.

After talking to the Hotel Concierge and obtaining permission to park I gathered my equipment and walked out onto the beach expecting to see some people out there with metal detectors…but there were none! Nathanael had given me great photos and very accurate information as to where he was and that fact that he lost it close to high tide would allow me to search the wet sand as the tide receded! Three hours later I started digging some deeper targets close to some hard coral patches and my last target was Nathanael’s lost platinum wedding ring! In two days it had gone down at least 6 inches in the sand and I was so so thankful to God for allowing me to find this ring. Two in one day…what a thrill!!

1920s Platinum Diamond and Ruby Ring Lost in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Shortly before 3 pm on Saturday, May 18th, I received a call from Ashlee asking if I could help find her mother, Alison’s ring that had been given to her by her grandmother years ago. Ashlee said that the ring had been dropped from their elevated dock into the ICW. I knew the tide was coming in but wasn’t sure of when high tide would be. Ashlee said she had been under the dock doing a reach and feel search and the water was about waist deep. I told her I was just finishing up another search and I was on my way.

It took me about 20 minutes to arrive and I met Alison, her granddaughter, and Ashlee in the driveway. As we walked around back, Alison described her ring and showed me the location where the ring fell through. I asked if it could have gotten stuck in the planks and was told the granddaughter heard a “plunk.” I got a few more details and walked down some stairs into the water. This was a perfect search scenario, water was warm, soft sand bottom, no waves and not above my knees. Walked out to the location, swung the detector twice and got a solid 12 (perfect number on the Nox 800 for Platinum). Took a scoop of sand and as I pulled it out of the water, I saw Allison’s beautiful ring sticking out of the sand. As I’m walking up the stairs, I hollered at Allison saying, “where you at?” She said something like, “you find it?” I held it up for her to see. She was so grateful she had her ring back. What a thrill for me to be holding a beautiful ring with 100 years of history. I found out that Alison was going to pass the ring down to her granddaughter but not for many many years. Ashlee told me that her great grandmother had lived in England with her husband (Ken and Lillian Scott) and that’s where the ring came from.

Ashlee – thank you for trusting me to help find your mother’s ring.

Alison – so glad I got to meet you and return your lost treasure.

Contact:

 

Annie called me this morning requesting my service to locate her husband’s wedding ring of 43 years. She told me that she was out in the garden with her husband cleaning up and that he gave Annie his ring for safe keeping while he was gardening.

At the end of the day Annie went to give the ring back to him and unfortunately the ring was missing. They searched her flower beds and the lawn for a few hours with no luck at all.

They checked on line and found The Ring Finder directory and called me the rest is history.

Thank you,

Twenty fifth Anniversary Gold Diamond Ring Recovered for owner’s son in Moapa, NV.

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

Received a call to come to a ranch in Moapa, NV. to look for a special ring. It was given to his mother,by her husband, for their 25th Anniversary. While she was visiting her son, she was helping to vaccinate a sick billygoat. She was thrown by the animal. They had searched the house and the area where she had been helping, but no luck. He had considered renting a detector, but the rental company suggested contacting a Ringfinder. Knowing the importance of finding the ring, I immediately lay out a gridline of string, so I would cover every square inch. (Training from my Archaeology Class). It took me about 30 minutes, and it was about 15 feet away from where she had been thrown. (It’s NEVER where you expect it to be!!) They had searched the area where she had been thrown. There is nothing better than a Successful Recovery.

Lost Engagement Ring in the grass, Melbourne, Florida…Found with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Jessica called me to ask if there was any way to find a lost ring in a small grassy field! Come to find out her husband had put her ring in the pocket of his shorts as they headed out to walk their dog. Jessica went on to explain that two weeks ago they were married in the Florida Keys and afterwards had rented an apartment in Melbourne and would be heading back to Georgia the very next day at 11:00 am. So early the next morning, after I dropped my grandson off at school, I made the 90 minute drive to hopefully find her ring and get it back to them before they had to leave for the airport!

After meeting Jessica and setting out some markers I got to swinging my Garrett AT Max metal detector hoping and praying that her ring was somewhere within the marked of area. Jessica and her husband had spent hours looking the area over and even spent a good part of the night with flashlights trying desperately to catch a glimpse of her lost ring in the sparkling grass. Jessica was not exactly sure what her ring was made of…silver or white gold…but the two different metals sound similar but the numbers are very different. And since she was not able to confirm the type of metal I had to check every shallow target and thank goodness the area had very little trash.

Twenty minutes later I heard a beautiful shallow signal and as I parted the grass with my pinpointer…there was Jessica’s lost engagement ring! I said a silent prayer of thanksgiving as I took in the moment and then sent Jessica a text that said…”Come see what God has just helped me find!”. And what a thrill it was to watch Jessica’s face light up with JOY!

Have you lost a ring or something precious…or know of someone else who has recently lost an item? Call or text me ASAP at 321-363-6029!

Family heirloom diamond ring found – Orange Beach, Alabama

Contact:

          My Sunday started out with my BFF and detecting buddy Cheryl Clark of Gulf Shores and I attending church followed by a lovely fellowship lunch where we indulged in some delicious homemade goodies. Afterward, we set out for one of our favorite detecting honey holes …. Only to arrive there and realize that one of us (I’m not naming names !) had forgotten our detector. Slightly disappointed, we decided to head back home and call it a day.

          As we drove to Cheryl’s house, we decided to see what was showing at a nearby movie theater. As luck would have it, something we wanted to see was starting soon so we ran home to change clothes, grab the missing detector since it usually stayed in my car,  and head to the movies at The Wharf in Orange Beach. It was interesting that, during that drive, I was thinking out loud and shared with Cheryl that I felt that there was a reason we couldn’t detect that day and that God must have wanted us at the movies instead for some reason.

         With the movie almost over, I saw a call on my watch from an unknown number and a voice mail. Sneaking my phone out, I read a message from Jason that he believed his wife Florence had lost a very sentimental ring the day before …… At The Wharf ! I quickly texted him and let him know that we happened to already be right there and that I would call him back in about 20 minutes. The movie ended and we walked out to meet up with Jason and Florence. They relayed to us that they had attended a car show there the day before. Florence remembered that she had taken her family heirloom ring off to put lotion on her hands, and thought maybe she had it still in her lap when she got out of the car. They had searched the car and the parking lot already and had even had someone at their hotel come take the sink apart in case it had fallen in the drain.

       Looking over the vast gravel parking lot, Cheryl and I exchanged a knowing glance. This was gonna be a tough one – almost impossible in fact ! The chances of someone else having spotted it on the hard, flat ground and picking it up seemed high. Nevertheless, we set out with our detectors to search.  An hour and a couple of pocketfuls of pull tabs, bottle caps and miscellaneous metal bits and pieces later and still no ring, the disappointed couple felt like they really needed to set out on their drive back home to Louisiana. We told them we would stick around and look just a little while longer. Just as I watched them drive off, I heard an excited “whoop whoop” from Cheryl and, against all odds, there in her hand was Florence’s beautiful platinum and diamond ring !! I quickly called Jason’s number and asked if they could turn around and come back. I was trying to sound nonchalant but he could hear Cheryl’s excited voice in the background as we were ooing and aahing over the stunning ring. The look on Florence’s face was priceless as she tearfully slipped “Grandma Florence’s” ring back on her finger. She and Jason agreed that our serendipitously being at the theater that day instead of 30 miles away detecting was truly meant to be !

       Although I live in Mobile and Cheryl lives in Gulf Shores, we metal detect together often and frequently tag team or join together to look for lost jewelry for folks. So, no matter which side of Mobile Bay you’re on, Cheryl and I just might be in the right place at the right time !
