Wedding Ring Found – N. Raleigh

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

I got a text from David, who had been playing ball with his dog in the yard. After an errant throw, David went to a bush to retrieve the ball and after getting the ball, he realized that his gold wedding ring was gone. He knew where he was when he realized it was gone, but didn’t know if the ball-throwing or the rooting around in the bush had caused the ring to come off. He’d searched the area himself, but had not been able to find the ring. The yard was covered in thick grass and the non-grassy area (under the bushes) was covered in black shredded rubber mulch. He showed me the bush in question and also showed me where he had been standing for his throws to the dog.

I brought out my detector and decided to start under the bush. I turned it on, made a few minor adjustments, and started to swing. I don’t think I swung the detector more than 4 or 5 seconds when I got a solid hit. I expected it to be a nail or some kind of garden spike, so I was genuinely surprised when I cleared away the top layer of mulch and exposed his ring. I think the ring came off when he was retrieving the ball, and when he went back to search for it, he inadvertently moved the black mulch just enough to cover it. David said he’d had the ring on his finger for more than 40 years, so he was extremely happy to get it back where it belonged. Another happy ending!

His & Hers Platinum Wedding bands Lost, Recovered and Returned in Villanova, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Thanks to fellow Ring Finder, John Favano, for the referral! Jerry reached out to me after losing his beautiful platinum wedding band while playing in the snow in the front yard of his Villanova, PA home. After searching for several hours on his hands and knees in the fresh snow he thought he would try to get a better idea of what the ring would look like in the snow….so….yeah….he borrowed his wife’s matching wedding band and threw that down. As you can guess….he immediately lost that one too! After several more hours of searching with rakes and shovels he finally surrendered and got in touch with a professional. He lost them on a Sunday….I was there with my metal detector Monday afternoon. Within 3 minutes total….I had recovered both rings! Jerry told me he briefly considered renting or purchasing a metal detector before calling me. I told him of the countless times I get the called after people buy or rent machine in an effort to find themselves…I told him the experience of the guy using the machine is more important than the machine itself! I was very happy to reunite Jerry and his wife with their beautiful rings!

LOST DIAMOND RING IN SAINT MARTINVILLE, LA – FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Charissa was trying to get her cat out of a tree in her back yard. Shaking a branch did not work so she climbed in the tree and finally was successful. After getting back on the ground, she realized her diamond ring was not on her finger. She looked for it around the tree without luck. We then got the call for help. We had her describe where she had walked in the yard and climbed in the tree before she noticed the ring was gone. We hunted the area for about a half hour before Carrie found it. The odd thing was, we both had searched that area before Carrie located it. The area was where she had held onto a small branch and shook it in an attempt to scare the cat. As hard as it is to imagine, did the ring get stuck on that branch and fall after we had both made a first pass through that area? Either that or we’re really not that good.

Wedding Ring found in Watchaug Pond, Charlestown, RI

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

Harry contacted me about a ring lost in Watchaug Pond.  Here’s what he wrote about the experience: “I lost my wedding ring that I had worn for 20 years in late summer of 2024.  I was playing ball while swimming with my son in Watchaug Pond, and the ball jammed my finger.  I shook my hand and watched as the ring flew off into chest-deep water.  I looked for it but didn’t find it.  Figured I would never see it again.  Fast forward more than a year and my neighbor saw a story about Gary finding a ring for someone in Ninigret Park.  I reached out and through their dedication and kindness, Gary and Wayne, both members of The Ring Finders, met me at the pond.  After about 40 minutes of searching, they located my ring at the bottom of the pond and I go it back.”  We are thankful that we were able to help Harry recover his wedding ring.

Bracelet Lost in Lagoon, Point Pleasant Beach NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Margaret reached out to me about recovering her bangle bracelet, which had slipped off her wrist while she was cleaning the windows on her boat. I told her I’d be able to help but needed a few details, including the water depth and photos of the dock area, the boat, and the exact spot where the bracelet had fallen. Once she sent the information, we set a day and time for the recovery.

Margaret couldn’t make it due to work, but her husband, John, met me at the boat. I searched the area thoroughly for about an hour and a half. There was one promising signal, but it turned out to be part of a crab trap. Since I was leaving for vacation the next day, I assured John I’d be back afterward to continue the search. I suggested we dive for the bracelet, which would make things simpler, and they agreed.

After my return, I met John at the boat with diving gear, ready to continue the search. In about 25 minutes, Margaret’s bracelet was recovered and brought safely out of the water. John couldn’t believe it and mentioned how thrilled Margaret would be to have her bracelet back.

Phone Home! 📱❄️
Winter strikes again! ⛄ We recently helped a client recover their phone after it went missing during a snow shoveling session. Armed with their Find My Phone app data 📍 and a crucial clue. They remembered exactly where their music stopped playing 🎵, and we got to work.
Our team member Kati systematically covered the area from where the music cut out all the way to the end of the driveway. When that search came up empty, she expanded the grid and found the phone at the very top of the driveway where they’d first started shoveling. Mystery solved! 🎉
Two Important Takeaways:
✅ Always zip your pockets before heading out to shovel! 🧥 It’s an easy step that can save you a lot of headache (and cold fingers searching through snow). 🥶
✅ Your music didn’t stop because your battery died, you might have just walked out of Bluetooth range! 🔊 That silent phone could still be powered on and waiting to be found.
We’re thrilled we could help reunite this phone with its owner. 💙 If you’ve lost something valuable in the snow, yard, or anywhere else, don’t hesitate to reach out. We love a good recovery story! 🙌

Lost Ring Warren NJ… Found

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
Kati from Greenwood Detecting recently helped recover
a ring that was lost during a lively party — and it
couldn’t have ended better 🎉.
While playing, a young girl tossed a water bottle 💦,
and in that split second, the ring she was wearing on
her pinky went flying along with it. Understandably, the
ring seemed lost for good.
Kati carefully scanned the area where the bottle was
thrown 🔍, and with patience and precision,
successfully located and recovered the ring 💍✨.
After the recovery, we received an incredibly kind
message from the girl’s father, Craig — the kind of
message that reminds us exactly why we do what we
do.
😊 Bringing smiles back to people’s faces is what
Greenwood Detecting is all about. 😊
Moments like these make every search worth it.

💍 Another Successful Recovery by Greenwood Detecting! 🎯
Greenwood Detecting recently had the privilege of helping a gentleman recover his missing wedding ring — a piece with deep personal meaning. The ring went missing after a day spent doing yard work and playing baseball with his grandson ⚾🌱.
Our team carefully scanned the areas where the yard work and baseball activities took place, but initially came up empty. Just as we were wrapping up, the gentleman mentioned one key detail: he had been wearing gloves while working and pointed out the spot where he had taken them off and put them back on several times 🧤.
That final clue made all the difference.
 Lo and behold — the ring was right there! ✨
Moments like these remind us why attention to detail matters and why we do what we do. Another meaningful item reunited with its owner and another happy ending for Greenwood Detecting.

Platinum Wedding Ring Recovered in Chapel Hill!

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

I got a text from Andrew in Chapel Hill about his lost wedding ring. He’d been playing football with his son in the yard and while practicing a long snap (picture the guy who hikes it to the punter), his ring flew off. He knew exactly when it happened and where, but didn’t know where the ring had gone. In the month since he’d lost it, Andrew had bought an inexpensive metal detector to try and find it himself, but had not found the ring, which is when he called me. After he showed me where and how the ring came to be lost, I searched for about 90 minutes with no luck. I took my own ring, tied a bright orange string to it, and asked Andrew to come out and snap the football several times wearing my ring so I could see where his ring might have gone. After several snaps, we had a good idea of where the ring should have been – unfortunately, the ring wasn’t there. I widened my search area quite a bit and after another hour or so, found the ring almost 90 degrees to the left of where we thought it should have landed.

Andrew and his wife have an anniversary coming up soon and he’s glad he’ll have his ring back where it belongs for that special day. Another happy ending!
