Loves Park Illinois, 14K Diamond ring Lost in Rock river, recovered

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

Yesterday, September 14th, I received a call from a gentleman asking if I still metal detected for lost jewlery.  I told him, “I sure do!” He went on to tell me that he and his family were out boating on the Rock river near Loves Park and had stopped at one of the parks along the river. When they stopped Alli got out of the boat and was introducing their new puppy to the water. As she was holding the puppy above the water the little pup was still paddling in midair. When Alli went to pick him up he continued to keep paddling and managed to get one of his little toenails inside of Alli ring and pushed it right off of her slippery, wet finger, right into the shallow water along the shoreline. Luckily someone Googled “metal detecting service in Rockford Il” and found me here on TheRingFinders.com .

When I received the call I told them, not to dig anymore and that I’d be there in less than a hour. So I gathered my things and just before I pulled out of the driveway I received a text message from some people who were also there, and didn’t know that I’d already been in contact with them. I told them that I was on my way also. When I arrived I met Alli down by the water.  The first thing that I noticed was 2 big marks in the sand that were marking the area that the ring was lost in. Smart move! Next they told me that they actually caught the ring coming off of her finger on video! They showed me the video and with the video and the marks in the sand, I looked at her and said, “We’re gonna find this for sure”. I made one pass down the waters edge in about knee deep water with only a dime to show itself.  I turned back at their other mark in the sand and went up the beach a bit,  towards the bleachers, and as I got back to the mark on the other side I got a solid 8 on the Equinox 800. I grabbed my pinpointer and started checking handfuls of sand. On my 3rd handful I had the target in my hand. As I raised my hand out of the water I could see the edge of Alli’s ring in my hand!!!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!!

White Gold Wedding Ring lost and found in Hampshire, Illinois.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message from Nick today (6-28-2025) about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, asking if I still metal detected for lost rings.
I responded, “Yes, I do.”
He went on to tell me that he thinks that he might have lost it at the ball diamonds earlier this morning while coaching his daughters softball team. So we set up a time to meet around 7 p.m. at the ballfields. When I arrived, Nick showed me where they had practiced earlier in the day. Nick and his wife spent a few hours searching the diamond for Nick’s lost ring, with no luck. That’s when Nick found a Reddit post about @theringfinders and a successful search that took place in Nebraska. Nick then searched out The Ring Finders .com and found me there and reached out from there. I started by searching the piles of dirt that Nick had raked up. Oh, did I mention that Nick and his wife had raked the entire infield by hand, looking for his ring!! Unfortunately, to no avail. So I then did an entire grid search on the infield, again to no avail. That’s when Nick suggested that I search the small grass strip in front of the dugout. So I started behind home plate and started searching towards 3rd base as Nick followed along. About half way to 3rd I got the sound I was waiting for! A double tapping low tone! The DĒUS II VDI display was flashing a solid 58! As I looked down at the ground I could see Nick’s 10K white gold wedding ring laying in the grass!

Success!!
Another smile for the book! 😁👍🏼

Donye’s 14 karat yellow gold wedding band that wife Kate placed on his finger several years earlier…recovered by item recovery specialist Brian Rudolph

Donye poses for photo with much gratitude felt inside after Brian Rudolph, a member of THE RING FINDERS, recovers client’s lost 14 karat yellow gold wedding band

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (also known as THE RING HERO) searches  Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses and Vehicles. He Will Find Your Lost Item! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Donye called my company (Metal Detecting Adventures) for help in finding his lost 14 karat yellow gold wedding band that disappeared somewhere outside on his property or possibly inside my client’s home. The band was extremely special to the couple because not only was it part of their initial wedding ceremony with lots of family and friends, but it was also placed on my client’s finger during a separate special spiritual wedding service at their local church.

I came out to the Potomac, Maryland estate and the two of us walked around the lawn. I asked every question imaginable regarding what yard tasks Donye focused on in order for me to decide the areas of importance where I would be metal detecting.

Besides mowing the several acre property, my client laid down seed and placed topsoil over various bare spots randomly spread throughout his backyard. Donye did lots of trimming and edging along the sides of the lawn as well as tree limb cutting in both the front yard and back yard.

This turned out to be one of those searches where as a metal detectorist I picked the right spot to search first! I decided to initially metal detect the topsoil bag and the buckets that held the seed and soil. When those items were found to be free from containing the lost ring, I began to metal detect the areas where Donye pulled weeds from the ground and then receded the bare spots which he would then finally cover with top soil.

I made sure that I scanned over the grass surrounding the isolated patches that were filled with seed just in case the ring slipped off of my client’s finger close by to where he was doing his yard work. Eventually, within minutes, I received a promising signal on my metal detector. The detector screen indicated a number that was in the range of what I was looking for. I bent over to investigate the target signal and sure enough… there it was! I found it! I recovered Donye’s beloved wedding band!!!!!

My client couldn’t believe that I was able to recover his lost irreplaceable keepsake so quickly on such a large property! He understood that my initial investigative reporting truly helped in solving this mystery as quickly as I did!

Donye called his wife Kate just minutes after the ring was detected in the back yard. Just hearing how grateful and relieved she was that their “symbol of love” had been saved from extinction, truly made the search and recovery well worth my efforts to help solve the lost ring mystery at my client’s beautiful Potomac, Maryland estate!

Bethesda, Maryland Man Loses Wedding Ring…Found by Ring Finder Brian Rudolph

Dan’s platinum wedding band that was rescued from the ground by THE RING HERO, Brian Rudolph

Dan’s excitement and relief can be seen as he holds up one of his most special possessions which was found by detectorist Brian Rudolph

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (also known as THE RING HERO) searches  Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses and Vehicles. He Will Find Your Lost Item! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Dan lost his wedding band and he didn’t know where it fell off of his finger. The ring wasn’t even loose and by the time Dan discovered that it was missing, he didn’t know where to start looking for the irreplaceable keepsake.

Dan looked for about an hour around his house and outdoors but unfortunately the ring never turned up. At some point, the sad gentleman looked online to see if there were professionals that search for lost items such as rings. He was so happy to find THE RING FINDERS, an elite international directory of metal detectorists who specialize in recovering lost items of all kinds (especially rings).

I received a text from the client inquiring about my services. I was happy to discuss details about the disappearance of his beloved wedding band. I asked Dan if he still had the trash from a week ago during the time his ring went missing and he confirmed that he did in fact save the garbage. I encouraged him to first check the trash bag before setting up a time for me to come to his property.

By the time we finished talking on the phone, it was clear that the only areas that I could metal detect would be spaces near the basketball hoop / base, the side yard located behind the hoop, the neighbor’s side yard and the front yard including the bushes.

I arrived at Dan’s house the next day and we immediately reviewed all of the potential areas that I needed to search. His kids were excited to watch THE RING HERO at work.

I metal detected around the basketball hoop, all of the areas on the left side of the property, part of the front and side lawn of the neighbor’s house, the client’s backyard but towards the front portion of the house, as well as the bushes in front of the property. Nothing turned up.

The last place to search was the front lawn. Dan was playing soccer with his son before playing some basketball on one particular day and so it was a slight possibility that the ring could have slipped off somewhere in the grass or in one of the flower beds.

I metal detected in straight lines, back and forth across the property until I came to the area where Dan remembered retrieving the soccer ball at one particular moment during his play time with his son. As I neared the end of the grid lane, my metal detector gave me a very promising signal. It was in the range of a men’s wedding band and it was located above ground or maybe just below the surface.

As it turned out, when I knelt down to the ground to investigate the target signal, there it was, the ring that I had been looking for for the past hour! I could see the platinum halo below the grass line just waiting for me to recover it and return it to its proper owner!

I was so happy for my client! I surprised Dan and his family inside their house just minutes after recovering the ring. He couldn’t believe it! He studied it over and over again and I told him to check the inscription inside which would prove that I found his one and only wedding band! Carolyn (Dan’s wife) was just blown away by my efforts! The children were all excited and couldn’t wait to see where I actually pulled the ring from the ground!

Before I left the property, the family thanked me over and over again for being their RING HERO! It was truly a gratifying experience to rescue something so irreplaceable and so special to this couple – something that would have never been seen or worn again had it not been for my expertise and for my own personal reliance upon my Lord and Messiah…my true Ring Hero!

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!

Priscilla Beach Plymouth MA Engagement/Wedding Band Ring Found & Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

June 13, 2024

An enjoyable day on the soft sand, in bright sunlight shining down turned into a day of despair and anguish over a missing ring. Victoria’s sister bought a detector to help locate the missing ring. A day of searching yielded nothing but a bit of trash. Victoria (Vicky) had a great bit more luck – she found a link to TheRingFinders.com which led to a call for help that I received. An enlightening and enjoyable conversation and a meeting for the next day was set-up.

I arrived about 5 minutes early and was greeted by the property owner. All was all set and I now had the area to search. From the rear porch steps, across some lawn, down a short set of steps and more lawn nothing alerted my detector. Next was a long set of stairs which had thickly covered land on either side. The blooming vegetation would be impossible to detect in, I said a quick prayer that the ring was not lost while Vicky was ascending the stairs, but rather it was indeed on the sandy beach.

At the bottom of the stairs and now on soft white sand I began to search again. At the end of my first pass next to the vegetation I turned to start a second pass. Two swings later and there it was, the sound from my headphones, that said “Here it is, dig!” One shallow scoop into the sand a quick shake and three small rock obscured my view of the ring. I pull the rocks out and was amazed at the beautiful ring that I had just found. OH NO…Vicky and Ginna were about half way down the stairs. The ring went into my pocket, we greeted each other and then I reached out to shake Vicky’s hand again. This time I had her ring in my hand, a surprised look and then the swelling of eyes and emotional disbelief over came the calmness that she had just a few seconds before.

As usual, pictures and stories about the ring and previous day’s search with Ginna’s new metal detector.

This lead to a few minute of instructions on how to use the detector and how to understand what the display could tell the operator. A couple of rings, a coin and a piece of iron were “detected”. Now I assured them had they waved the coil over the ring and understood the tone and display, she would have found the ring. And in the future she will be able to locate more desirable objects with less or no time “wasted” digging parts of lobster traps 10 inches down in the sand.

This return was another wonderful experience for me, not only because of the find and return, but that I think I have peaked the interest in metal detecting and what it has to offer for two wonderful sisters. I also learned just how much the ring meant to Vicky and her husband as he had designed the ring as an engagement ring and then had two more rings added to the engagement ring to transform it into the one beautiful wedding ring.

I just love my hobby, especially with times like I had today. Thanks for letting me help.

Sandwich, MA – Lost Wedding Band Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

June 11, 2024

It is the time of the year that lawns need attention, thatching, weeding, seeding, edging etc. As in the case of Ted he had to repair some thin spots in his yard that winter had taken its toll on. Ted had all the right tools and products to bring his yard back to its summer time beauty. The day’s chore was just about complete except for the clean up. The last item to be put away was Ted’s gloves. Off they came and as well, his wedding band.

Hours of searching, retracing his steps, nothing Ted did could find his ring. That was until he reached out for help from TheRingFinders. A few texts and a date and time were exchanged for a search. As the plans were set I reached out to my detecting partner Leighton and all was set. We met at Ted’s home and got the low down on specifics of were he had been working on his yard. The main areas were in the rear and one side of the house.

I chose to start on the rear grassy area and Leighton went to the area around the tool shed. Forty-five minutes had passed and I had only one possible signal, but my detector told me it was too deep to be the ring. Right on, but I just had to see what the target was. As it turned out it was an electrical connector of some type that even Google View has not been able to identify correctly.

I had covered the the rear grassy area twice and then headed to the side yard, mainly a mulch covered area. On my third pass the sweet sound of gold rang in my ears. Looking down I saw the ring, sitting on top of the mulch, no digging needed.

I called Ted over and asked him to pick up the, now located, ring. Joy and happiness was evident. It is such a rewarding feeling to help someone out of a nerve racking time. A bit of talk and and many thanks made for another entry to TheRingFinders’ Book of Smiles.

Lost Wedding Band in Grant, Alabama…FOUND by Huntsville Ring Finder!

Contact:

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee…call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7…610-504-6135

On Thursday (May 30th, 2024), I received a call from Chase stating he lost his tungsten wedding band on Monday, which was his 2-year wedding anniversary.  He had taken the ring off and put it in his pocket while doing the dishes.  Afterwards, he put 2 sets of keys in his pocket and went outside.  He took out one set of keys in front of his RV, and then took out the other set in-front of his car.  He later remembered the ring in his pocket, but it was gone.  We were both available on Sunday, so we planned a search for that morning.

I met Chase and his wife, Lindsey, at their home in Grant, Alabama around 9am on Sunday, June 2nd.  I had Chase show me where he was standing when he took out both sets of keys.  Not a huge area, but enough grass to easily hide a heavy tungsten ring.  I started searching at the first spot in front of the RV.  I didn’t receive any good ring like targets, so I moved to the second spot.  Soon after, I had a nice repeatable ring tone and could just barely see Chase’s wedding band!  I called Chase and Lindsey over to see if they could spot it, but it was hard to see amongst the grass.  Needless to say, Chase was very happy to have his wedding ring back!

We took some photos and chatted for a few minutes before my drive back to Huntsville.  Really nice meeting these folks and always happy to help!  I thank God the Father and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the successful recovery and safe travels.  Until the next adventure… please take care and God bless!
