2 White Gold Rings – Wedding band and Engagement Ring Lost in the Yard, Found and Returned Galivants Ferry SC

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

Around 5 pm on Tuesday, June 3, 2026 after finishing up another search, I saw a text message on my phone. The text read, “Hi is this Mr. Wren? I found you on Google. I’m in Galivants Ferry SC, but wanted to see if this is too far out for you to help find my wedding ring and band.” I called the number attached to the text and talked with Sophia. She explained that she had lost her rings in her front yard. She gave me her address and I plugged it into my phone map. Told her I’d be there in about an hour and 20 minutes and was on my way.

When I arrived, I saw Sophia and her husband   Hunter sitting on the front porch. I met both in the front yard and Sophia showed me the area she thought the rings would be from the day before. However, she also said that she and Hunter had been out until late in the night with flashlights with no luck. She also said it had rained hard that night and was afraid the rings may have washed away. I assured her the rings were still where they fell. Although I had my Equinox 800, this was going to be a completely visual search. After searching the majority of the front yard, I decided to move my car out of the driveway. Hunter followed suit and moved their vehicle as well. I extended the search out and by now Hunter, Sophia, a neighbor and her son had joined in the search. Shortly after moving the cars, I spotted the wedding band and handed it to Sophia. A few minutes later Hunter spotted the engagement ring. Both rings had been hiding under their car the whole time. Another great ending!!!

Sophia – Thank you for calling me to help find your treasures and get them back where they belong. I wish all the best to you and Hunter!!

Gold Wedding Ring Recovered in Arlington Heights Il.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Chris (5/31/2026) and he told me that he was doing some yard work in his backyard the day before and at some point his gold wedding band had come off of his finger and he couldn’t find it. He even went and bought a metal detector and still couldn’t find it, and was wondering if I could possibly help.  I told him I’d gladly give it a shot! When I arrived I asked Chris a few questions about what he was doing and where. That’s when he told me that they had Ring camera footage, from the morning it went missing! He said that it shows him with the ring on at one point and it was gone in the next clip! I told him that we know its here and we were going to find it! Chris took me into the backyard and showed me where he was pulling out some shrubs and landscaping, and the patch of dirt he was working in. My third signal was a nice double tapping 62 VDI signal on the DĒUS II.  As I was probing and scraping the topsoil with my pinpointer, I seen the outline of the missing yellow gold ring appear!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!!

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered – Okauchee Lake, Nashotah, WI

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Nashotah, Wisconsin resident, Joe Judd, was enjoying an evening cigar on his boat dock one evening on Okauchee Lake when a sprig of ash fell onto his pantleg. Instinctively, he brushed the ash off with a flip of his hand but as he did, Joe saw his gold-wedding ring fly off and disappear into the water. He stared in disbelief at the aquatic plants and mud some 5-feet deep where the ring fell. He thought the ring was gone forever.

Later, at a Poker gathering with friends, Joe shared his sad story. That’s when someone mentioned ‘a guy’ in the area who finds lost rings, a guy named Paul. When Joe went online, he discovered my listing on The Ring Finder’s directory of metal-detecting specialists and reached out to me by phone.

Joe wasn’t sure just how deep was the water, let alone the depth of the mud. He guessed about 5-feet. Turns out his estimate was pretty accurate. After donning a search-and-rescue dry suit, I waded out into the icy-cold lake up to my neck and began to probe the mud with my SCUBA-rated XP Deus 2 detector. Joe sat close by on the dock, fascinated by the process.

It didn’t take long to isolate a promising signal, one well in the range of 18k gold. After several scoops of Okauchee-Lake ‘pudding,’ shells, plants and stones, Joe’s wedding ring finally surfaced in my scoop. I set it on the dock and watched Joe’s eyes widen in disbelief! “And that’s how it’s done,” I quipped.

The smile of amazement and joy on Joe’s face tells the rest of the story. And he couldn’t wait to tell his Poker buddies all about it that night.

If you or someone you know has lost a ring, recent, long ago, on land, in snow or in a lake, don’t let its story end. Call me; I love putting smiles on people’s faces!

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! 😁👍🏼

Potomac, Maryland Man Loses Wedding Ring on Large Property…Found by Ring Finder Brian Rudolph

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!
