On April 21, 2014 I received a call from a lady who said a Texas A&M college student had lost his Aggie ring while planting flowerbeds for The Big Event.  (The Big Event is a once a year event where thousands of Aggies volunteer their time to give back to the community.)  The student apparently put his ring in his jacket sometime during the day and when he left at the end of the day the ring was no longer there.  A visual search happened but did not turn up the ring.  The student went to a local sporting goods store and purchased a metal detector for $200 but had no luck in finding it.  My sister and I arrived at the woman’s house that evening and she walked us through what occurred that day.  I started on one side and my sister started on the other…….roughly 3 minutes in…..victory!  The woman who contacted us was very excited and couldn’t wait to call the young man to return the ring.  It felt good to find the ring….especially for someone who lost it while volunteering to help the community!

Laura Citron, a genuinely sweet gal from Atlanta GA was enjoying a charity auction outing with a former college roommate at South Seas Island Resort in Captiva Island, FL.  They were enjoying the unseasonably warm gulf waters when her cherished gold, platinum and diamond ring suddenly slipped off her finger in waist deep water.  Helpful resorters and three eager lads frantically searched for the ring for some time–all to no avail.  The sentimental and material loss, along with not knowing how her husband would react, for the moment, seemed more than she could bear.  She had also dropped her “scheduled insurance endorsement” for the ring on her homeowners policy two years previously.

Theringfinders.com now springs into action.  A helpful captain of a cruise boat found our website and gave Laura my phone number.  She gave me a call, but unfortunately my wife and I were unavailable for an immediate response for her desperate call for help.  Due to the late hour of the day, I then decided to call my in laws whom we live with and are associate ring finder hobbiests with my wife and I.  I passed on Laura’s contact information to them.  My in laws had friends visiting from Indiana and the four of them met Laura the next day at South Seas Island Resort to search for the ring.

Laura and her friend seemed to have a fairly accurate description as to where the ring was lost.   After 90 minutes of searching, the prospects of a successful recovery were starting to look grim having already searched over 200 feet of beach front in shoulder deep water.  However, after expanding the search another 20 foot northward in chest deep water, the Minelab Excaliber II gave that familiar sound every ring finder loves to hear! Bingo–another successful recovery.

By this time there was quite a little gathering of hopeful enthusiasts including some resort staff, awaiting the outcome of this intense search.  Needless to say, the reuniting of this ring with its rightful owner, brought tears, cheers, high fives and finally, a night of restful sleep.  Within minutes, this happy reunion via Facebook was announced to the world.  Although some in the crowd called this find “a miracle” it was actually the result of persistent grid searching in combination of having the right equipment for the task. 

Lost Class Ring Houston, Texas (Recovered)

Received a call yesterday from Domingo who said he had lost his class ring 5 days ago while planting and transplanting plants in his backyard. Domingo said after spending several days searching for the ring with no success, he located “The Ring Finders” online.

I made the trip over to Domingo’s this morning, Domingo showed me his backyard and the possible areas where he thought the ring may have come off his finger. You can see from the pictures, Domingo was in the process of a backyard transformation with several areas needing to be searched.

Domingo mentioned something about coffee and went back into the house leaving me to conduct the search for his ring. I eliminated one of the flowers beds pretty quickly and moved on to the next flower bed near the center of the back yard. I was on about the forth swing in that flower bed when I hit a pretty good signal.

I knocked on Domingo’s back door and asked him to come on out back and show me the areas again needing to be searched. As Domingo was pointing out the areas again, I held out his class ring, Domingo was pleasantly surprised.

Domingo’s picture say’s the rest.

Lost Texas A&M Class Ring Bryan College Station, Texas

Received the following e-mail 03-13-2014 Thursday

Hey John,

I got your contact info from the ring finder website. I recently

lost my Aggie ring. I believe it fell off in my neighbors yard, while I was

picking up some trash that had blown into his leaf piles. I’m 99% sure where it

fell. My neighbor gave me permission to look, but I have not been successful.

I’m a veterinary student in college station, tx. What would it cost to have you

drive out here and have a look? Do you know anyone in this area that would be

willing to assist? The ring is very important to me, and had a stone from my

grandmother in it.

Kohl

Spoke with Kohl on Thursday and he explained the circumstances surrounding the loss of his class ring. Kohl explained the ring was important, but the diamond in his ring had been handed down to him from his grandmother, making it irreplaceable. Kohl and I , worked out some travel expenses issues, and arrangements were made from Sunday morning. I made the 1:45 minute trip out to Kohl’s today meeting him at his residence. Kohl walked the search area with me pointing out the areas he believed he may have lost his ring. The search area was relatively small with several sections of the lawn had exposed dirt surfaces.  I knew if the ring was in the remaining grass or leaves it would be a very fast recovery.

These are the difficult stories; the ring was not in the yard. I worked that lawn so hard I may have killed the remaining grass.

Having searched for A&M rings in the past, I knew the school had a lost and found specific to class rings. Even the local area police departments, having checked this for myself, contact the schools when a class ring is turned into them. I directed Kohl to notify the school, and to continue the search for his ring. Kohl advised he would notify me if he finds his missing ring.

Thanks,

John Volek

Well, it’s been a while since my last call but I’m always eager to get out there and find the next. So I was on my way home and decided to grab a bite to eat when I received an email for a lost ring. Dinner aside, I arranged a plan for the recovery of the lost ring. It had been lost for a few weeks and was on the owners mind for some time. With the wonderful world of technolagy, I was able to request a Google maps image of the area in which it was lost. I raced home to grab my equipment as I was only about 10 minuts away from the area. By the time I got back I had the satilite image of the area in my palm. A few minuts later, the ring was in my palm! I phoned Gordon right away and let him know his  gold class ring was safe in my hand. We arranged a time and place to meet. He was so happy to see it back on his finger and was amazed that I was able to find it so quick, You gotta love it! Another recovery…Love love love it!!! Glad I could help!

I received a call today from a friend who knew I was a member of The Ring Finders.  He asked me to look for a ring for his stepdad’s mom, Cecile.  Cecile lost her husband about a year ago and has worn his wedding ring on her thumb ever since.  That is until yesterday when the ring was lost while she was doing yard work.  She was so upset that she looked for the ring until late last night with a flashlight and prayed to Saint Anthony.  After searching the grass in her front yard for about 45 minutes this evening, I found her husband’s wedding band.  Cecile was so happy to get the ring back that she cried and hugged me when she saw it.  She said she felt blessed, but not as blessed as I felt to have been able to return it to her!

In July 2011 I was with a few friends Detecting the Cape Cod waters and found a silver school ring. On the ring was written Saugerties, Grace and 2010. A few days later I started emailing a few of the resource offices at the school along with the Principle.  In November i resent some emails and finally got a response  from the Principle. He stated that he would try to help. The middle of February came and i received  an email stating that Grace had been found and that I will be receiving and email soon. With in a half an hour the email came from Glenn stating that he couldn’t believe that I had found it and was going to return it for only a thank you and a picture. He said she was devastated about loosing it and thought it was gone forever. We made arrangements for me to send it to him ( after I had it cleaned)  for she was in college and he would give it to her during spring break. As you can see in the photo she was great full  to have it back . It’s by far the longest I’ve  taken to track down an owner, I’m just happy i was able too.
