Wedding Band Lost While Preparing Raised Plant Bed-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Nick contacted me and said that his wife had lost her wedding band while preparing a raised plant bed, but she wasn’t sure which one. He and his wife has a matching tungsten carbide band set. The first bed I checked had a good signal, but it turned out to be a larger deep signal. The second bed was larger in size, but all of them had galvanized metal sheeting for the side walls. That was a problem, but I managed to work around it. In the second bed I found a signal that was showing a 30 on the Manticore, but was close to the metal side wall so that number may have been skewed. That 30 on the Manticore turned out to be her ring. It was about four inches deep. The total seach time was only about twelve minutes.

Wedding Ring Recovery Success Story in Longport, New Jersey

When you’re enjoying a beautiful day on the beach in Longport, the last thing you expect is to lose your wedding band in the sand. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened recently when a visitor was tossing a football with family and friends.

During one throw, the force of the motion caused his wedding band to fly off his finger and disappear somewhere on the beach. After spending considerable time searching the area by hand, there was still no sign of the ring. With thousands of grains of sand and a large search area, finding a small gold band can feel impossible.

That’s when they contacted me, John Favano of Ring Finders South Jersey.

Using Experience, Detective Work, and a Grid Search

The first step in any successful ring recovery is gathering information. I asked questions about where they were standing, the direction of the throws, how far the football was traveling, and where they first realized the ring was missing.

Using those details, I narrowed down the most likely search area and established a systematic grid pattern. Rather than wandering randomly with a metal detector, a structured grid search ensures every square foot is covered efficiently and thoroughly.

After carefully working the area with my metal detector, I received a promising signal buried beneath the sand. Within moments, the missing wedding band was recovered and safely returned to its owner.

Why Beach Ring Recoveries Require a Methodical Approach

Beach recoveries are often more challenging than people realize. Wind, foot traffic, shifting sand, and inaccurate memories can quickly make a small search area much larger.

SOUTHPAW LOSES WEDDING BAND WHILE TOSSING FOOTBALL

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

EMERALD ISLE, NC
While vacationing with friends, Joshua was tossing a football when his gold wedding band slipped off and disappeared into the sand. He marked the spot and quickly contacted Crystal Coast Ring Finders. Arriving promptly, I began searching along the waves and mentioned to Joshua that, given the soft sand, I didn’t expect to find any older items and suspected his ring would be my first discovery. Sure enough, just a few steps in, my XP Deus II gave a strong 74 signal, and one scoop later, his ring was back in hand.

Lost Wedding Set in the Gravel While Playing with Her Toddler in Phelan, CA – FOUND!

  • from Corona (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a text from Kimberlee who said she lost her wedding and engagement rings in the gravel at her house. She said, like many others who I’ve helped, she debated trying to rent a metal detector. Some have gone out and bought a cheap one then realized they don’t know how to use one. Don’t waste your time. Call/message or email me right away! 

I told Kimberlee I could meet up at her house the next morning. When I got there, Kimberlee said she was playing with her toddler in a graveled area where they were looking at shiny rocks. She said she had her rings in a pouch she was wearing and at some point they fell out.

The rings were lost 2 weeks ago and Kimberlee said she has been visually searching the area, with no luck. She checked on a metal detecting club site and heard about TheRingfinders.com and found me.
I started a grid search of the area and eleven minutes later found the wedding ring sitting in the gravel. While showing Kimberlee her ring I confirmed her engagement ring was also lost. When I looked back down by where the wedding ring was, I saw the engagement ring. The expression on Kimberlee’s face and watery eyes said it all. She asked if she could give me a hug? I’ll never turn one down.

Kimberlee’s teenage son had come outside and she had told me earlier he was interested in metal detecting. Since I located two other targets during the search that I believed would be coins, I let him put on my headphones and use the detector to hear what the tones were like. He then dug two quarters. Happy mom, happy son.

Ring lost in a Poway pond found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Pam and her husband were enjoying a dip in their hot tub spa when Pam realized she was still wearing her prized custom silver ring. Not wanting to let it tarnish in the chlorinated water, she removed it and set it on a towel next to the spa. When her husband got out, he grabbed the towel and the ring went flying somewhere nearby. Possible landing areas were in some of the landscaping on the deck around the spa, or, more likely into the pond just a couple of feet away. The pond is an old swimming pool that had been converted into a fish pond. Lots of plants, fish, reeds, with a mossy/mucky bottom. The closest side is the shallow end, thank goodness, so, no diver needed. They had purchased a metal detector, but, even though they got a few signals, they couldn’t zero in on any particular target. When I got there, we discussed the situation, and I started with a standard 11″ coil and swung down into the most likely area. A little bit of interference with the rebar in the underlying pool bottom, but, with a bit of tweaking, it was huntable. After just a minute or two, I got a decent high tone that was in the silver range. Pam’s husband volunteered to jump in and try to snag the target. Yay! He fished around a bit, but, came up empty. Ok, time for the small coil to help get closer to the target. Still no good, so, I reached over the side with my pin pointer, stretched down as far as I could in the signal area and got right on the target.  Her husband had success this time coming up with the ring along with some muck before he jumped into the hot tub to warm up. After a bit of clean-up, it looked good as before the day’s dip in the pond. Pam was very happy to get her treasured ring back. A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.

Lost Wedding Rings Found in Potted Fern– Evansville, Wisconsin

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

Evansville, Wisconsin resident, Randena Soldner, discovered her wedding rings missing from her hand after clearing fallen leaves and twigs from her picturesque lawn and garden. The shock of losing her rings was almost more than she could bear. Despite her and her husband’s best search efforts, the ring seemed destined to be lost forever. That’s when she discovered The Ring Finder’s directory of metal-detecting specialists and reached out to me.

When I arrived at the Soldner’s lovely home, the stress of losing her rings was apparent in Randena’s face and demeanor. Her husband, Leroy, joined with us as we solemly walked the length of the property together, noting areas where she had tidied up holes in the mulch dug by local squirrels. The lack of a specific forensic event (such as throwing a ball or removing work gloves) meant I would have to detect the entire property—a process of elimination, of determining where the ring was not.

The rings were more valuable than usual. Thus, for sake of everyone’s comfort, I asked that Randena or Leroy accompany me during the search. I do this at times to assuage any trust issues when more expensive jewelry is involved. As a retired hospice chaplain, I would never want people thinking I could be dishonest.

The search took over two hours. Randena and Leroy took turns shadowing me as I worked. I was about to finish up when I noticed some potted plants on a multi-level deck behind the house. I made a mental note to check those before leaving and so, when Leroy also suggested I search them, I did so immediately.

The first box contained artificial flowers complete with their plastic-coated wire stems. The metallic stems meant my detection probe was not much use. I looked through the foliage as carefully as I could but did not see a ring. The next pot contained a large, healthy fern, potted and presented in a vintage-iron holder. This meant careful extraction of the fern from its setting. Probing deep into the leaves resulted in a metallic signal which I assumed was a wire identification label, the kind often used by nurseries. But investigating further, Randena’s wedding rings suddenly appeared, revealing where they had fallen from her hand days before. Mystery solved!

The smiles don’t tell all the story. I gave the rings to Leroy saying, “I want you to be the one to give them to Randena.” He called out to her in the house and before long, the ring was in her hand. Tears, hugs, more tears, more hugs ensued! Clearly, it was more than a ring!

It is always a special moment when I can give back a ring that was thought lost forever. I am so glad Randena and Leroy trusted me enough to reach out for help. If you or someone you know has lost a ring, even long ago, don’t let its story end. Call me; I love putting smiles on people’s faces!

Engagement Ring Lost at Astotin Lake, Lamont County, Alberta Canada.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

 

I received a call from Elizabeth requesting my assistance in locating her lost engagement ring, which she lost while at the lake three days prior to calling me.

After speaking with Elizabeth and asking my customary questions, I agreed to drive to Elk Island National Park, which is a 55-minute drive east of me.

I met Elizabeth at the lake, and she showed me where the ring had fallen off her finger and into the lake. Elizabeth was standing on the dock while wiping sand off her pants, and the ring fell off her finger.

Elizabeth informed me that the ring was near the tenth post on the pier. She had purchased a metal detector from Amazon but was unable to find her ring. I spent approximately four hours in the lake, which was very murky and infested with leeches.

I conducted a thorough search of the area. I was certain that her ring was not in that area. Elizabeth was visibly disappointed with the outcome. I searched alone the pier edge from the water’s edge to the end of the pier and underneath the pier.

I took a break and re-evaluated the situation. I continued to ask Elizabeth questions, and the answer was always the same: the ring fell off at the tenth post.

I returned to the lake with another metal detector and, not five minutes later, I received a positive response. I retrieved her ring between the ninth post. I showed Elizabeth her ring, and she was overjoyed.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for entrusting me with the task of finding your ring.

Lost Key Fob in the Snow in Edgewater Park NJ

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

This past winter kept me busy.

I had just gotten home & put away all of my detecting equipment from an earlier request when I received a call from Moise. While shoveling, he lost his keys & fob. I told him I could be there in about 30 minutes.

When I got there, he showed me where he was shoveling. There were some pretty high piles of snow. He went back into the house.

I got started. Within 5 minutes, I got a good signal. Dug down about 15 inches, and there were his keys. I knocked on the door and showed him his fob. He was amazed at how quickly I found them. He had been looking for hours.

I love my hobby!!

Ring lost at Coronado found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Sergio was at the beach in Coronado and when doing a simple stretch with his arms, his wedding ring flew off into the soft sand. Raking with his fingers came up dry, so, onto the web he went for help. He contacted both Stan and Curtis here in SoCal who gave him my number. Thanks guys! Sergio wasn’t able to meet me right away to show me the search area, but, he did the next best thing, which was GPS coordinates and photos he’d taken at the loss site. Armed with this info, I went to the beach and figured out the likely location by the landmarks in the photos. I started a spiral search from where I stood, and after about a 1/2 hour I had covered about a 50 foot circle…..but no ring. Hmmm, that was strange as I had reviewed the photos several times and was sure I was in the correct area. Time to start over, so, I walked back to my initial starting point and got a good signal right there! I looked down and realized that the signal was right under my first left foot print in the sand! That was a first for me to have been actually standing on the target I was looking for! I guess I need to learn to get out of my own way! Great to meet you and your sons Sergio, and thank you for the reward.
