Mercedes Key Fob lost sled riding in Philadelphia, PA…found and returned!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Andrew contacted me after a long unsuccessful search for his Mercedes key FOB that fell out of his pocket while sled riding with his kids in his backyard in Narberth, PA. We had about 4 inches of snow and it was obvious to both of us it was probably covered…so wait till spring or I could give it a shot with my  metal detector? He asked me to come over the next day and I was happy to do so. We walked the yard….he showed me where he was sledding….10 minutes into the search there they were! I was happy to help him avoid paying an exorbitant amount of $ for a replacement key FOB.

Phil was playing with his two year old daughter in the backyard of their home in Palm Harbor and in the process of running around with her, his wedding ring flew off of his finger into the thick St. Augustine grass. Phil, who admitted to me later that the ring was loose on his finger, believed the he knew the area where the ring landed in their small back yard so he immediately began a visual search. After he was unable to find his ring, Phil purchased an inexpensive metal detector and searched for his ring but again, was unable to find it. Unfortunately, most people who purchase their own metal detector to find their lost items are unsuccessful because they have never used one previously so they lack the necessary experience.

Phil’s wife Chrissy found me on social media (I share all my recoveries with neighborhood pages) and we arranged a time for me to come to their home to search for the ring. Phil met me when I arrived and directed me to the area where he felt like the ring had fallen. After about a 30 minute search and a few buried targets identified, I was unable to locate the ring so I expanded my search into the opposite direction, sweeping the grass with my detector coil between the vinyl fence and the pool area. After a few minutes more and very close to the pool deck I received a strong and promising surface tone and before I could reach down to probe into the grass with my handheld pinpointer, I saw the ring nestled in the grass! Phil had walked away for just a moment so I called him back over to show him the ring before I picked it up. Needless to say we were both very happy with the discovery!

Phil and Chrissy,  thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find Phil’s wedding ring!

Tantalum Wedding Ring Recovered – Durham!

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

I was contacted by Nick, who had lost his tantalum wedding ring while playing with the dog. He was in the backyard and gave the dog toy a toss; when he let go of the toy, his ring flew off and cleared the fence. Although every situation is unique, I had run into this scenario before, so I’m thinking “No problem! I’ll get the ring back in no time!” Nick had said on the phone that there were some briers and I again thought “No problem!” I got to Nick’s house and he pulled up a video from his house camera that showed him losing the ring. With the whole thing on video, I’m again thinking “No problem!” The area that Nick showed me (where he thought the ring had gone) was about 60′ x 60′.

I searched for maybe 30 minutes and gained a whole new appreciation for briers. I promised to return with thicker clothing, a machete, and a friend. Between my two visits, Nick and his wife had cleared a portion of the briers, so when my friend John and I got there, we alternated searching for the ring and hacking/clearing/hauling remaining briers. By the time we finished, probably 40′ x 40′ had been cleared enough for us to use our detectors, but no ring.

In a last-ditch effort, I searched an area that was far to the left of where Nick thought the ring might have gone. After several beer and soda cans, I managed to turn up the ring for him. As I’ve come to understand, it’s not just “A” ring, it’s “THE” ring. In this case THE ring decided to hide in the briers but is now back where it belongs!

The first photo shows the ring after I pulled it out of the mud in which it was sitting. The second photo is a very happy Nick!

LOST 14k WHITE GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN HICKORY, NC…… FOUND!!!!

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

Received a text last night from a young man whose mom had lost her wedding rings while picking up leaves and tossing them over the fence. The son had found the wedding band by sifting through the leaves, but was unable to locate the engagement ring.

They had been on her finger for nearly 51 years!

I showed up at 8:00 am and the search began. After an hour we hadn’t found it yet, so we went inside to talk to his mom and get a better idea of where she was and what she had been doing prior to losing it. Turns out we were in the only area where she was tossing leaves. I suggested we go back and try again. After about another 30 mins, I decided to kick over the sifted leaves to move them more out of the way, away from the fence and I got a hit! The ring was under 2-3 feet of sifted leaves and I missed it the first 8 times because I didn’t move the leaves. It was found 3 feet from the wedding band near the fence line!

Needless to say it was a very Merry Christmas for the whole family as they both were back where they belong!

Gold Wedding Ring found in Machesney Park Illinois

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message from Jeff asking if I could possibly help find his wife’s wedding ring that had been lost in their backyard about 4 months ago. Of course I agreed, we then set up a day and time that worked best for both of us to do a search. I met Jeff at his house a few days later after we both got off of work. He took me into the backyard and showed me the area that they believed that it was in. So I divided the yard in half, diagonally, and began a grid pattern from their backdoor to a large tree in the corner of the yard. On my 4th past I received a loud repeating 50 VDI signal that was “double tapping” on my DĒUS II. In my experiences, a ring on the surface or close to it will make this “double tapping” sound. I told Jeff, “This might be it right here.” I checked the snow covered grass with my pinpointer, which immediately sounded off! After a little digging with my fingers in the grass, roots, and dirt I could see a shiny circle peeking through! I said, “There it is!” And handed it to Jeff as he came walking over to me.

Another smile for the book!

Lost Hearing Aid in Safety Harbor, Fl…Found and Returned!!!

Paula was walking down the outside stairs of her second floor condo in Safety Harbor when she fell down the last few steps and landed hard and face first on the sidewalk. She had not been using the handrail with her hands full and was badly injured including bruises and cuts to her face and a possible fractured collarbone. After she was helped back into her home, Paula realized that one of her hearing aids was missing as a result of the fall. After receiving medical treatment and returning to her home, Paula’s good friend Carol and a family member helped search for the hearing aid in the area where Paula landed but they were unable to find it. Carol found me through social media and contacted me the next day to see if I could help Paula find her hearing aid.

I arrived at Paula’s condo and realized that the search area was very small but did include under the stairs and several areas with shrubs including shrubs that bordered the complex’s pool fencing. I scanned Paula’s other hearing aid for a reading on my Minelab Equinox 900 detector so that I would know exactly what to look for and as I expected, the signal was very weak due to the very small amount of metal in the hearing aid. I also tested my hand held pinpointer because I quickly realized that I would have to do most of my search with it as there was very little room for my detector coil. I began my search on my hands and knees with the pinpointer in the area of shrubs near the fence because it was in the direction of Paula’s fall and also shook the branches of the shrubs just in case the hearing aid was hanging from one of them. I then searched the shrubs beside the stairs and the leafy area underneath the stairs by probing with the pinpointer but no luck. After about 15 or 20 minutes, I walked up the last several steps and looked down towards the sidewalk where Paula had landed when I noticed several red spots on the left side opposite from the area where I had searched. As it turns out, these were blood spots from Paula’s cuts where she fallen and then tried to get up. Carol and Paula believed the hearing aid to be on the right side of the steps since it was in Paula’s right ear. I began a visual and pinpointer search under the shrubs on the left side and after only about a minute I saw the hearing aid laying on the leaves. Paula was thrilled to have her relatively new hearing aid back in her ear! Paula requested that I not take a picture of her smiling face due to the cuts and bruises suffered in her fall so you have mine instead.

Paula and Carol, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find Paula’s hearing aid! It was a pleasure meeting you both!

4 CT DIAMOND RING RECOVERED FROM CAR USING ENDOSCOPE RETURNED TO OWNER..PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL.

  • from Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Sometimes metal detectors can’t be used due to other metals in the vicinity. In such cases, we can opt for visual searches or utilize specialized tools like endoscopes for small, confined areas that aren’t visible to the naked eye.  In this particular case, an endoscope was necessary for the search. If you need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me. 

William called to inform me that while driving with his wife, she expressed concern about her wedding ring feeling loose. She effortlessly removed the ring and handed it to him. However, the situation took a turn for the worse when he somehow managed to drop the ring inside the car during the drive.  Despite his certainty that the ring was in the car, he spent three days searching without any success.

Desperate to find the ring, William took the car to a Mercedes dealership and left it there for an additional three days. He instructed the dealership to remove the seats to search for the ring. Unfortunately, the dealership was unable to locate the diamond ring.

Concerned that the dealership might have stolen the ring, I agreed to search for it using some specialized tools I had successfully used in the past. The search took over an hour, but we were able to locate the ring wedged behind a small metal bracket in the seat mechanism. As seen in the photo, the ring was in a challenging location.

We were all relieved that the ring was found and returned, and now back on his wife’s finger where it belonged.

Gold Wedding Band Lost and Found at Honeymoon Island, Fl…Vacation Saved!!!

Honeymoon Island State Park had recently reopened after some hurricane cleanup and visitors were beginning to return. Dave and his wife Tina are snowbirds who live in Dunedin, Florida during the winter and Deadbroke Island, Ontario the remainder of the year. They, along with niece Jenn, her husband Stephen, and nine month old son Nico, as well as niece Emma and her partner Ian were enjoying the beach late one afternoon when Stephen asked Emma to hold onto his wedding ring while he and Ian dug a hole for Nico to play in. Emma put the ring on her finger and later went down to the edge of the water to wash her hands in the surf when the ring slipped off of her finger into the ankle deep water!

After a frantic unsuccessful search by all to locate the ring in the surf, a lady who was sitting near the family mentioned my name to them so Dave googled my contact information and called me. I told Dave I would be at their location in about 45 minutes so I rounded up my gear and headed for Honeymoon. When I arrived, Dave pointed me to the area where the ring dropped in the surf which was now about shin to knee deep with small waves and a 60 degree temperature. The water was cold for this part of Florida especially without a wetsuit and it was only about an hour prior to sunset but I began my search in the wet sand out to almost waist deep, gridding lines the best I could perpendicular to the shoreline. After about 15 minutes, I received a strong surface signal with a mid 30’s number on my Minelab Equinox 900 detector in shin deep water and began to try to scoop the target out of the rolling surf. After about five unsuccessful attempts, I moved away from that promising target thinking that it must be deeper than my reading and I sought other targets close by. After another 15 minutes, I had only dug an old pull tab so I began to work my way back towards the original target. I found the mid 30’s target once more and I was determined to scoop it out the second time. On about the third scoop, I had the target out of the water in a scoop full of small shells and sand and instead of rinsing the sand out in the water, I brought the scoop to shore and dumped it on the beach, hoping that the ring was there for the family to find as they were all very excited! At first as the sand and shells were spread, nothing appeared so I swung my detector coil over the material again and told everyone that what I had dug was in a small lump of sand and shells. As the sand and shells were spread in that area, out pops Stephen’s beautiful gold wedding band with the wedding date of 12/31/23 inscribed inside! Obviously we were all overjoyed and especially Emma!

Dave and family, thank you for trusting Steve Thomas,  Dunedin Ring Finder to find and return Stephen’s ring! Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Wedding Ring Lost in Bay, Surf City NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

I noticed a text from Michelle, asking if I could help find her husband Jeff’s lost wedding ring. I asked her to call, as it’s much easier to discuss details over the phone. She explained that they were at the beach with their children when Jeff’s ring had been pulled off his finger. Fortunately, Jeff was certain of the general area where it was lost, as their daughter is young and they had stayed in a fairly small section of the beach. I told Michelle I could meet them shortly, and we agreed on a time.

One concern she had was that they had dinner reservations for 5:30 and didn’t know if they needed to stay while I searched. I reassured her that as long as Jeff could meet me at the beach to point out the spot, they wouldn’t have to stay the entire time.

A short while later, I arrived, grabbed my gear, and we headed out to the location where their chairs had been set up. Jeff suggested we start in the deeper part of the area where he felt the ring had slipped off his finger. We began working in a back-and-forth pattern, covering about a 75-foot-wide area, but after six or eight passes, there was still no sign of the ring.

At that point, I decided to return to where we had started and gradually work my way closer to the shoreline. I could see the concern growing on Jeff’s face as time was ticking, and every search path was coming up empty. After covering such a large area without success, we decided it was time to change strategies. I planned to search a new section further south, but before moving on, I made the decision to do one or two more passes toward the shoreline.

It was a good thing I did because just a few feet into the next path, my metal detector let out a sweet tone that I was almost certain was Jeff’s ring. On the first scoop, there it was! I held it up with a shout of, “I’ve got it!” Jeff was overwhelmed with joy, amazed that I had found the ring after nearly an hour of searching.

Just as his wife Michelle arrived, we all shared in the excitement. Moments like these—seeing the relief and happiness on people’s faces when their lost valuables are recovered—are what make this work so rewarding. Another successful recovery for the 2024 season!
