LOST PLATINUM WEDDING SET IN GREENSBORO, NC…..FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I received a text from a sweet lady that lost both her rings while cleaning up acorns in her backyard.

She was putting them into a roadside trash bin and realized later that her rings were missing. She dumped out one bin and checked and didn’t see them or find them with a friends metal detector. I scanned that first then I scanned the backyard and didn’t find them.

Then she mentioned the other trash bin, so I pulled it over and dumped it out on the tarp with the other acorns I had already scanned and I got a hit. First I found the diamond ring and quickly scanned again and there was the wedding band just a few inches away.

She mentioned her late husband had lost his gold ring in the yard somewhere so I asked if I could try and find it. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get over it. She wasn’t sure where he was or what he was doing when he lost it.

Lost Gold Signet Ring While Working in Backyard — Found!

John’s Gold Signet Ring Recovery — The Hunt Begins

The call came in around 10:30 that morning.

John had lost something very special in his backyard — an engraved gold signet ring. He had been doing some landscaping when the ring disappeared, and despite searching, he just couldn’t find it.

When I arrived, John showed me the area where he thought he had lost it.

The area was a fairly steep beautiful back yard, terraced bank covered with grass and pine straw, with landscape lights, metal plant stakes, and plenty of other metal throughout the area. I knew right away I was going to be hearing all kinds of signals and would have to carefully work through each one.

I started at the lower end of the bank and began working my way through the area.

High tones.
Low tones.
Iron tones.
More metal.

There was a lot going on underneath that pine straw.

Before I started, I had asked John if he had a picture of the ring. Fortunately, he did. That turned out to be a big help because I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for — and what kind of signal that gold signet ring might produce.

After about 20–30 minutes of searching, I got a signal that caught my attention.

It was a multi-tone signal, and it sounded like there were two pieces of metal sitting right next to each other.

That was enough to make me stop and investigate.

I started digging…

Pulled back the pine straw…

And there it was.

BINGO! 🎯

One large men’s engraved gold signet ring!

After working through all those signals and fighting through the terrain, that moment when the ring finally appears is what makes these recoveries so rewarding.

Most importantly, John got his ring back.

Another lost ring found.
Another happy owner.

Lost Wedding Band… Found at Elk Run Heights, Iowa

Contact:

I received a call from Tom about finding his lost wedding band. He was mowing his yard and had some low hanging branches on a tree in the back yard.

He tried to hold a limb up and mow under it with his riding mower when the limb pulled his wedding band off. Of course they searched for it and came up empty.

I went today and gridded the area under and near the tree and after an hour found the ring. Thanks for the call out and reward.

LOST WHITE GOLD WEDDING RING TEGA CAY, SC…..FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from a young man that said his wife lost her rings in their front yard and asked me if I could come find one of the two rings. They ended up finding the engagement ring but were unable to find the wedding ring.

We agreed to Sunday morning and I get there, get my machine dialed in and start my search. The area was about 5×5 area and took me less than 5 mins find it! Took me longer to set up the machine than it took to find the ring.

They weren’t home at the time so I placed the ring in a secure spot until they got back home and they sent me a photo of his wife holding up the ring.

Another recovery and a precious ring back where it belonged!!

2 Rings Lost 1 Ring Found

  • from Saugatuck (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

On September 14th, 2026, Ring Finder Dave Boyer asked my brother Rich and I if we’d help search for two gold wedding rings lost while swimming at night in Lake Michigan. We agreed, and Dave connected us with his client Matt, who described where he thought the rings were lost. He marked out a boundary in the sand, and asked us to stop at the sandbar. After several hours without success, we agreed to come back Wednesday at Matt’s request. Since Matt was heading home to Miami, his father Frank would met us and get us searching. Rich and I met up with Frank then headed down to expanded the search area. About five minutes in, along the north line, I found Matt’s wedding band in knee-deep water, closer to shore than we expected. After searching until our arms were toast, we ended the search. Still, one more Gold Ring made it home with its owner! A Special thanks to Frank for posing with Matt’s ring for my Book of Smiles.

Lost ring in Ham Lake yard recovered using a metal detector

  • from Coon Rapids (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

During a late evening, this ring was lost in their grassy backyard. After several attempts to recover it on their own, they decided to purchase a metal detector and take matters into their own hands.

After several attempts and several days of searching, they contacted me, and we scheduled a time to meet. Once the search area was positively identified and the search began, after a short search the ring was located and recovered!

I want to sincerely thank you both for reaching out to me and giving me the opportunity to help reunite you with your ring. It was a pleasure to be part of the recovery, and I’m glad we were able to get it back where it belongs! 💍

Lost Gold Ring at Oval Beach, Saugatuck, MI Found

  • from Saugatuck (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I received a text from Tom Townsend who is my brother-in-law and a fellow Ring Finder. He got a text from Nicklos whose girlfriend, Maya, had lost a gold ring with sentimental significance. Because of bad weather and high waves, Tom was unable to get out that weekend so he reached out to me on Monday morning asking if I would be willing to search. My brother, Rich, and I were already heading out to detect that morning. Since Oval Beach was on the way to New Buffalo, our detecting destination, we agreed to make that stop. I texted Tom and he was happy to hear this and sent a screenshot of the location where it was believed to have been lost. We started our search and looked for approximately 15 minutes when, Dave, another Ring Finder contacted by the client, showed up.  Dave said we were searching between the wrong buoys but now there were 3 of us, so Lets Go Find That Ring!  We headed into the water in the appropriate area and my very first target was Maya’s gold ring. Tom and I meet with Maya the next day to return her family ring. It was such a joy meeting Maya, talking with her and of course, reuniting her with her precious ring! Thank you Tom for another seek and find opportunity.

Lost Ring at Saugatuck Dunes State Park Found

  • from Saugatuck (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

My first successful recovery was working with my brother-in-law and fellow Ring Finder, Tom Townsend.  Tom received a text from Oscar on a Saturday afternoon saying his fiancé had lost his unique gold ring in the water at Saugatuck Dunes State Park on July 4th.  He and his fiancé had already returned home to the Boston area and were unable to meet us at the beach.  They had taken pictures of the location on the beach and, using the trees on the bank behind where they had set up for the day, helped to narrow down where to start the search.  Oscar said the ring was lost 30-50 yards from shore in about waist deep water.  Tom and I entered the water and started a grid search, Tom moving north while I searched to the south.  It took a little over an hour to find but, being made of gold with a wood inlay, it made a very unusual sound.  I was very surprised to see gold in my basket after 3 attempts to scoop it.   The ring was promptly mailed off to Boston to its rightful owner.   Oscar’s fiancé is a bit camera shy so I have to post a picture of myself with the ring.   Finding and returning this beautiful ring was a highlight of my summer.

I was outside playing with my daughter and went to throw a ball for her and it slid off my finger and landed in the grass in my backyard. I looked for a couple days and raked the yard to try and pop it up out of the grass but still couldn’t find it. I found ring finders online and got into contact with Jeremy, he was able to come out and find it for within 20 minutes.
