Lost wedding ring, found! Wildwood Crest, NJ




Received a call from this young lady saying she lost her ring while throwing sticks towards the wooded area. They tried many days trying to find it with no success.
We made arrangements for me to come out after work today to try and find it. After getting the details I started my search and found it in about 15 mins.
She was so happy to have it back on her finger again!!

“DIG IT ALL, SAME SOME RINGS, BURY THE DRAMA!”

Mark was enjoying a beautiful summer afternoon in his backyard in Perkasie, PA (Bucks County) when he discovered his large, beautiful wedding band missing from his finger. He was sure it must have come off when he was shaking out and hanging some wet towels on a clothesline. He searched for hours with his eyes and an old metal detector in hopes of finding it before he reached out to a professional. After finding me in the Ring Finder Directory we agreed to meet in his backyard Monday afternoon. After a quick tour and detailed description of how he thought he lost his ring I went to work. After 10 minutes of scanning the area I received the signal on my metal detector I was looking for…looked down…and there it was!!! I was very happy to be able to return Mark’s ring to him!!!


I got a text from Asia about her lost ring. She’d been at an outdoor event with friends the day before and had lost a ring that her late mother had given her. We made arrangements to get together that afternoon to search. We met at the apartment complex (where the get-together had been) and she showed me where she had been. They had played kickball, had a cookout, and even had a water balloon fight, so the possibilities were large. Also, the open area where she had been was accessible to anyone, so there was a possibility that the ring had been picked up by someone. Lastly, she explained that she had taken off all of her rings and put them on a chain around her neck, but the design of this particular ring had an open spot that was probably how it fell off the chain. I searched for about an hour the first day and came back the next day to cover the area again. After about 45 min of searching, I was able to locate the ring and get it back to her. Because of the connection to her mom, she was ecstatic to get it back. Another happy ending!

I got a text from a gentleman in Holly Springs who had been gardening and lost his wedding ring in the process. We made plans to get together the next morning and when I arrived, he showed me where he’d been putting in his new plants. Where we live, the native soil is clay-y and rocky. For that reason, he dug out a hole for the new plant, but only good (store-bought) soil went into the hole with the plant. The old, crummy soil was carried to a dirt pile in the back yard. I started in the front yard where he had been planting and absolutely scoured the area – no ring. I scanned the path from the front yard to the dirt pile, thinking it might have come off on the trip – no ring. I then started scanning the dirt pile and found the ring about 2″ down under some rocks. His 40th anniversary is right around the corner, so this was a particularly special recovery. Another happy ending!

Wedding Ring Recovered from Geneva Lake in Fontana, WI
Raul and his family were enjoying a day at the beach in Fontana, WI when his 14K gold wedding band was lost. His family spent time in the grass, on the sand, and in the water. Fontana beach is quite large, so narrowing down the search area was key.
On my way out I texted two fellow detectorists who may have been detecting this beach letting them know I was on a search and “Did they find any gold rings at Fontana’s beach in the last two days?” “No,” was the reply. When I arrive
d, another detectorist was in the water. I waded out to Tony and asked the same question. “No, only a quarter so far.”
Raul patiently answered all of my questions as we worked to pinpoint the most likely spot he would have lost it. I marked off the edges of my search area in the sand and waded into the shallow water to make my first pass. Dragging my search coil slowly over the sand, overlapping, so as not to miss anything, I had a strong repeating signal around the third or fourth pass. I knelt down in the water and waved away the topmost layer of sand in the spot where my detector indicated a target. Half of the ring appeared like a golden smile. I picked it up and held it up to Raul who was standing on the shoreline.
It was the
first and only target I dug that morning. Raul carefully thought through all of my questions and that led to our success in finding the ring.
After a few photos, it was back on his hand and his smile said it all.
Later, Raul made a kind post on the Lake Geneva Lake Life Facebook group. He writes: “A huge thank you to Seth for helping recover something that means so much to me and my family. We are incredibly grateful!”

Wedding Band in the Snow
Caleb called me around 8:00 pm. Could I meet him in a salvage lot in East Troy, WI? He had lost his wedding band in the snow.
By December 1st, Wisconsin was covered in a thick blanket of snow. The cars in the lot were white domes of snow caged in by a chain-link fence. The ground, most likely crushed gravel was topped with hard-packed tire lines running throughout.

I thought about all the metal that would be competing with Caleb’s small gold ring, and I hoped I would be able to keep the search area relatively small. It was late and cold, and the roads were not getting any better the longer the night went on.
I assessed the area at 9:12 pm. I asked Caleb lots of questions in order to decide the best place to start searching. Thankfully, about ten minutes later I was handing the ring back to Caleb, a grateful smile stretched across his face.
Caleb’s final text read:
“Thank you so much, Seth! You have no idea how much it means to me that you were able to find my ring!”
