Custom Ring Found in Winfield, Illinois, after 1-1/2 years
Received a call telling me her daughter lost her custom ring a year and half ago.
Ring was made by her Grandmother for her 3 granddaughters and this was one of them, so
it had plenty of sentimental value.
Husband and Brother got detectors. and searched area with no success.
After a hour and a half I got lucky, the pictures say it all
Any wonder why I love this job!!
I was hanging out by my fire pit when I saw the huge shadow of a cicada trying to land on my shoulder.
I got up and started walking towards the house and realized the cicada landed on me. I swiped at it a few times and felt my grandmother’s ring slip from my hand.
My children and I searched for days and nights. I even purchased a metal detector and search on my own but nothing showed up.
A few days later I came across Ring Finder. Jeremy answered on the first ring, arrived the next day and found my ring within minutes.
He was confident, professional and so kind! He turned a really fragile moment around for me in minutes! Thank you Jeremy for finding my grandmothers ring that has been in my family for more than 50 years!
Playing with his son in a baseball field, he took off his baseball mitt and along with it came his ring.
Took a couple hours but finally found it, very happy customer.
Love this job!!
Received a call from Gurnee, Illinois. Lost a diamond earring while playing volleyball.
They rushed the net and did facetime with the net and sangged the earring.
Took about 2 hours but finally hit it. Very Happy Ending!!
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! 😁👍🏼

I received a call for a metal detector rental. She lost a ring her mother gave her. It was lost while brushing snow off her clothes.
See had searched for 2 days without the rental and for one day with it. Unfortunately she did not have any luck.
I offered to come and see if I could locate it.
The picture tells the story. This is the best job in the world!!!
Received a call from Glen Ellen, lost his Platinum wedding ring while playing with his dog in the front of his house. He threw some leaves at his dog and the ring went with it. I put the small coil on my detector so I could get into the heavy ground cover where he thought it went. One of those rare but welcome times when the first time I put the coil into the ground cover I hit it, literally about 1 minute.
Received a call from Elgin, Illinois to look for a diamond ring in the backyard.They were no sure thats where it was lost, but it was worth a try. A newly engaged person was visiting to attend a graduation party. Among other things, a balloon throwing battle ensued. The guests had scoured the backyard to no avail.I laid out a gridline to insure that I covered the area. It worked! The guest was so distraught, she went out so she would not hear from me that I couldn’t find it. Guess what….I found it!
I received a call from a man to look for a necklace that his wife “MAY” have lost in the backyard of her mother in law’s house while visiting Wheaton, Illinois. Since both he and his wife were back home, he sent me a map of where she may have lost it. It could have been in one of the 3 piles of brush, or in the lawn. I gridded the lawn using string to control the search. Nothing in the lawn. I even searched outside of the suggested lawn area! I checked all three piles of brush, nothing. So I was ready to give up but decided there was one area I had not searched. BINGO!! Nestled nicely in the leaves was this beauty.
