Ring lost in Ocean Beach found

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

Alex and his family were at a local sports park, and after tossing a ball for the last time, he pulled his hand out of his baseball glove and inadvertently pulled his wedding ring off his finger in the process. They looked around the grass for quite some time and finally gave up and went home. An online search brought Alex to TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. 40 minutes later, we met at the site and he gave me the story, description of the ring, and the approximate 50 foot squared search area. I set up some cones and got to work gridding. As most of you know, parks usually have a ton of stuff buried in the grass, and this place was no exception. Slowly, I made my way back and forth across the suspected search area, checking out dozens and dozens of targets. After about 45 minutes and an assortment of trash later, I got another good sounding target in the same “gold ring” range. I looked down, and sitting there in plain sight was his ring. Alex was walking around with his eyes to the ground in hopes of spotting his ring. I called him over and pointed to the ground in front of me. Alex was super happy to get his ring back, called his wife with the good news, and I got a big thank you from her too. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned in Ambler, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Mike contacted me after losing his gold wedding band in his backyard in Ambler, PA. He was about to start making meatballs for dinner so he took his ring off and put it in his pocket. He finished the meatballs and went into backyard to kick around a soccer ball with his son. He noticed his band was no longer in his pocket after re-entering his house. Total time between putting his ring in his pocket and noticing it missing was less then an hour! Clearly must have fallen out while kicking the soccer ball in backyard…he spent hours looking and raking the backyard but no luck. He found me in the Ring Finders directory…and I met him 2 days later. He took me into his backyard and showed me where he was playing soccer with his son. Like I always do I started grid searching very methodically…starting at one end and working toward the other. 10 minutes later, I was in the exact middle of the “soccer field” when I finally got the signal I was looking for…the grass was a little high and there were quiet a few leaves but I still immediately saw his white gold wedding band gleaming up at me! I was very happy to be able to return Mike’s ring to him!

White Gold Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned in Willow Grove, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from Edward after he found me in The Ring Finders directory. He was raking and bagging leaves at his home in the Willow Grove, PA area when he noticed his ring had fallen off. He searched for hours and even purchased a metal detector to try to find the ring himself….but no luck. He decided to consult with an expert and i promptly met him at his home the next day. I told him on the phone the day before to not throw away any of the bags of leaves that he collected. When i got there…I noticed that he poured the contents of all the leaf bags into one large pile….but he said he and his wife went through it all already. I turned my machine on….after 2 or 3 swings over the leaf pile…I received a signal in my headphones that was an obvious surface gold ring! Bent down with my pin pointer and after a total search time of 1 minute I picked up his ring! He couldn’t believe it but the relief on his face was priceless!

Lost Gold Pendant in Public Park-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Jae late Thursday evening and she said she had lost her gold pendant in a local public park.Ā  She and her friend had looked all evening until around midnight that night.Ā  The pendant was made from the engagement ring her grandfather had given her grandmother in 1942. So it was very sentimental to her and all she had left of her grandparents.Ā  The grass in that area was pretty deep, so finding it by sight was nearly impossible.Ā  I got there by around noon the next day on Friday.Ā  She had the area marked where she noticed the broken necklace.Ā  I had marked out a block for my search that was about 75 feet by 50 feet.Ā  That search area bordered a sidewalk on one side.Ā  Being a public park I assumed the ground there would be very contaminated with metallic trash and other items, and it did not dissapoint.Ā  Fortunately, with the Manticore metal detector I was able to differentiate between what was on the surface and what was deeper.Ā  That still lengthens the search time because every target has to be inspected before moving on.Ā  I completed the grid search in the block I had marked out and found nothing except pull tabs and a nickle.Ā  So I moved down a little and marked out another block, this one a little smaller.Ā  About halfway through that search area I was about 12 feet from the sidewalk and I got a 41 on the Manticore that was on the surface.Ā  The grass there was about 3 inches deep so I pulled out my pinpointer to locate whatever it was.Ā  The pendant was there, completely covered with grass and was not visible to the eye.Ā  My total search time was about 2 hours.

Lost Gold Cross…Found At Iowa City, Iowa

Contact:

I received a call about a lost gold cross. They were in Iowa City for the Hawkeye homecoming game against Northwestern. They were tailgating before the game when a girl lost her sentimental gold cross that was once her grandmothers.

There was a grassy area where she thought it could have come off the chain around her neck. I arrived at halftime and did a grid search in the area for around 90 minutes until I found it.

It was a happy ending for everyone and the Hawks won too!

Lost Grandfathers Ring in Concrete Mix

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a gentleman who was mixing concrete for a row of 2 X 2 Steps. Ā He was making about 20 steps for a customersā€™ walkway. Ā In the process, due to some recent weight loss, his treasured ring which his Grandfather had worn his entire life and then passed on to our him disappeared. Ā Short story, he had the ring on, made 20 concrete steps and 2 hours later when finished the ring was gone.

He was pretty sure it was in the 3rd step as a bag of quikCrete had burst open and he had scooped concrete with his hands. Ā Upon arrival with our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors we began scanning each step. Ā Few normal beeps and noises until I reached the 1st step. Ā It was not a normal Gold Signal but it was extremely strong. Ā I told the customer, Iā€™m not sure itā€™s your ring but thereā€™s definitely something there.

He said OK and picked up the 2X2 step and threw it on the ground breaking it into pieces, then he yelled ā€œThere it Isā€. He did a little dance in the yard, gave us a big hug and told us we made his year.

This hobby/business is so much funā€¦

Lord of the Rings

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

Jeremy, thank you so much. Backstory: this is a custom wedding band that reflects our shared love of Lord of the Rings trilogy story. We’ve read the books and watched the movies many, many times. I was doing yard work and pulling weeds. I noticed the ring was missing when I went to throw the weeds in the yard waste dumpster. I was searching through the yard waste dumpster, the trash bag I had just taken out, and crawling around the area I was doing yard work for 2 days. That’s when we found your website. You found the ring within 10 minutes or less and were a pleasure to work with. We’d recommend you to anyone who is in need of your services. Thank you!!

A Lost Treasure Found: The Return of Janineā€™s Wedding Ring

  • from Erie (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

It all started with a text from Mike on Saturday evening ā€“ his wife Janine had lost her custom 8-diamond wedding ring back in the spring of 2023. They had tried everything: bought a metal detector (but had no idea how to use it) and enlisted 8 friends to help search the yard ā€“ all without luck.

The ring had gone missing while Janine was mowing the lawn, likely bouncing out of her sweatshirt pocket. I knew this wasnā€™t going to be a typical ring recovery. A heavy gold ring lost that long wouldnā€™t just be on the grass ā€“ it would be in the dirt.

Despite the 3-hour commute, cold 45-degree rain, and muddy conditions, I got to work. After digging around 60 holes across their 1.5-acre yard and 3 hours of searchingā€¦ success! The ring was just a few feet off the driveway.

When Janine saw it, she burst into tears, gave me the biggest hug, and said she thought sheā€™d never see it again.

Thereā€™s no better feeling than helping someone recover a symbol of love and memories they thought were lost forever.

We got the call 1 week after the loss, we scheduled to come out after church on Sunday and met the couple and all 7 of the staff of the Sky Diving Club, everyone there had been searching for the Ear Ring.Ā  Great thing was the staff had put out a orange cone at the landing location where Faith had landed.Ā  Ellen & I got our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors andĀ  our Garrett Water Proof Pinpointers and began our search… it only took a minute.Ā  I got a solid 45 gold signal at less than 2 inches deep.Ā  I checked the site with my Pinpointer but go No signal, I then cleared the dried grass with my foot and scanned again,Ā  still getting the 45 Gold signal indicator.Ā  I then bent down and slowly and carefully scanned the area with my pinpointer and got a hit on the edge of the thick grass I had cleared.. still seeing nothing I use my hand to slowly clear the grass and then I saw the “Glint”.Ā  What fun to return a beautiful ear ring..
