Lost Ring Doing Yard Work In Haddon Hts, Found By Dave Milsted

Bob contacted me through my website, asking if I could search for his lost ring. He had been doing yard work, and when he went to Loews for more supplies, he noticed that his titanium wedding ring was missing. We were both available this Saturday, weather permitting. We are expecting 4 days of heavy rain.<p>
Saturday morning was gloomy, but the rain paused; we now have a fine mist. I met Bob at his house. He showed me his work area in the front of the house. He had planted some flowers and placed about 2 inches of mulch. If it is not here, it could be in his backyard, as he made several trips to his shed. I asked if he had searched his car, and he said yes. He also searched the parking lot at Loews.<p>
I got started, and he returned to the house to tend to his 6-month-old & 2 large dogs. I did a quick check of both flower beds and noticed there were a lot of iron targets. This took all of 5 minutes. I dug a few, and they were old nails. So I need to slow down and make a much more thorough check.
About 10 minutes later, I got a signal under one of the bushes. I dug down about 3 inches, and there was his silver titanium ring. I took a few pictures and knocked on his door. Bob came out, and I asked him if I could search the backyard toward his shed. As he was answering and trying to figure out why it wasn’t here, because he was sure this was where it would be, I held up his ring, and when he finally noticed, the look on his face was priceless. I had asked him if he was in the dog house because he had lost his ring, he said no, but his wife was disappointed. She will be happy again.
I love my hobby!!

Gold ring lost, recovered and returned in Wilmington, DE!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Sarah found me in the Ring Finders directory after losing a beautiful gold ring with significant sentimental value. She conveyed to me that she was visiting some friends in Wilmington, DE and was enjoying a beautiful spring evening around a backyard fire pit. She said she had been taking charge of the firepit and collecting brush, sticks and wood in the woods nearby. At some point during the evening she was heartbroken to realize her ring was missing off her finger. It was gold ring with a red coral stone that meant so much to her. She and her friends searched everywhere with no luck. She felt confident that if fell off while she was collecting and snapping wood for the firepit. I was there within 12 hours and spent 30 min looking in the grass and woods surrounding the fire pit…no luck. It then dawned on me that the most obvious place to have started my search was the firepit itself! I walked over…gave it a quick scan and BOOM! A beautiful gold ring signal on my machine…after digging an inch or 2 in the ash….there it was!!! Well….the fire turned the red coral stone to grey and the gold ring itself was a little tarnished from the fire but it can surely be restored to its original beauty! I was happy to be able to come through for Sarah!

LOST GOLD RING IN LEXINGTON, NC…… FOUND!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)

I received a text from Mrs. Jeanette on Sunday night. She said she found me on the ring finders page. She asked for help finding her gold ring with diamonds. I said sure!

She lives in Lexington, NC (2 hour drive one-way). I get there and she tells me about how she lost it and where she marked the area with a stick.

I get my gear out and 5 mins later, BOOM!!! I can see her ring just under some grass. She couldn’t believe I found it so fast. It was less than 2 feet fro the stick too!!

Then I had my 2 hour drive back home!

I love helping out and putting smiles back on someone’s face!!

Ring lost in La Mesa found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Joe was cleaning out a clogged drain on his backyard deck, and when he slung the clog downhill onto a construction debris pile, his family heirloom family crest ring was launched with it. He searched in the mud and debris in vain and contemplated buying a metal detector to help him find it. Instead, he found TheRingFinders.com online and my contact info. We made arrangements later that afternoon to meet and conduct a search. Not a huge area, but, there was a moderate amount of junk in the construction pile, along with some flora and broken up concrete on a steep muddy slope. After gridding that area with two different detectors and two different coils, the ring was still missing. Being a fairly heavy gold ring, maybe it slung farther than the area I was searching, so, I asked if we could check the neighbor’s yard as it was possible the ring made it that far. In looking over the fence, there wasn’t any place for the ring to bury, so, it should just be a visual surface find. There was a walkway down the side of the neighbor’s yard next to Joe’s fence, so, we slowly headed down and checked the ground and plants as we went. With Joe leading the way, we made it about 3/4 of the way down when Joe spotted the ring right on top of the ground in the dirt close to the fence. Joe was very happy to get it back, and as I learned, it was his grandfather’s ring that had been one of the few items he had taken with him out of Hungary right before the USSR took over the country back in the mid 1950’s, and then eventually got passed down to Joe. The ring story continues……..

Got a message from a lady who’s husband had lost his titanium wedding ring last summer while mowing. He took it off and put it in his pants pocket. When he got done mowing it wasn’t there anymore.

Ring lost in Torrey Hills San Diego found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

I received a call from Linda saying that her husband Terry had lost his wedding ring outside their apartment the night before. They had searched for it for hours without success, so, they needed help. An online search brought them to TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. With a narrow weather opening between storms, I met them at their apartment and got the story behind the ring’s loss. Terry had just left their upper floor apartment and noticed some soap on his hand. As he reached the top of the stairway, He removed his ring to wipe his fingers and his ring decided to take a 3 story leap off the open stairwell to an unknown fate below. He heard a ping as the ring hit something on it’s way down through several flights and landings until it reached the concrete bottom level with surrounding landscaping. The landscaping consisted of bushes of various heights and densities, bark, leaves, grass, and the typical metal trash that you get around walks and stairways. To add to the challenge, the building and concrete areas  have rebar, flashing, and other metal items to work around. A quick search with the big coil failed to come up with the ring, so, I changed to the 6″ coil and my pin pointer to get into tighter areas that the big coil won’t reach. After a while and several junk targets giving us false hope, I got a another similar low signal with my Equinox 900 deep under a bush. The pin pointer was singing, but, I still couldn’t see the target until I started to remove some dead leaves and saw a flash of gold. Yes! Success! Linda was first to notice my triumphant response, gave me an emotional and appreciative hug, and went inside to tell a very happy Terry. A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.

 

LOST RING IN CHAPEL HILL, NC ……. FOUND!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call last week about a silver and gold ring a lady had lost about a month back while she was doing yardwork. She felt it fly off but couldn’t find it. She used a metal detector in the area she thought she lost it in for several hours. Sadly, she wasn’t able to locate it.

When I get to her place, I got the story and the location, and I began swinging. After about 3-4 mins. I knew it wasn’t in the area she thought it was or should be. I began to widen my search area and BOOM a screaming high tone that I knew had to be her ring. It was actually about 5-10 feet away from that area. It only took me about 5 mins to find. Being big silver, it screamed!

Another successful ring recovery!

Ring lost in San Diego park found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Bon was playing volleyball at a local park and decided to put his wedding ring in his pocket instead of wearing it. At a certain point after jumping and chasing the ball during a typical game, he checked his pocket and found the ring missing. This wasn’t his first experience with losing this ring, so, he knew who to call…. a Ring Finder. I was out detecting myself, but, quite a ways away when he called. I got to the park just before sunset and started my search in some fairly tall, unmowed grass. Bon was uncertain as to what metal his ring was made of, but, that he thought it was silver. I ran a grid pattern looking for a shallow high conductor, but, nothing of that sort was found. After expanding the search area a bit and still no ring, I went back to the main volleyball court and started checking for ANY shallow target with a good solid sound.  It was getting dark and cold, but, after a couple of passes I got a nice low tone in the U.S. nickel range that was right on top of the ground, but, under a few inches of grass. A probe with the pin pointer and sure enough, it was his ring. We were both happy to leave the park and go home to a warm house and hot meal.

Newlywed’s White Gold Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Norwood, PA!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Received a call from Debra from Norwood, PA regarding her husband’s lost white gold wedding band. She found me in The Ring Finders directory and shared with me that her husband, Lenny, lost his beautiful white gold wedding band during a New Years celebration the previous week. The details were a little fuzzy because the loss occurred deep into New Years eve and as expected both Debra and Lenny were celebrating quite vigorously. Basically at some point during the evening Lenny found himself out in their small grassy side yard…and soon thereafter noticed his ring missing off his finger. They spent quite a bit of time searching on their hands and knees the following day with no luck. When I arrived to assist in the search a few days later Lenny told me he was convinced it came off in the small grassy side yard. It was a very small search area…maybe 10×20 feet of grass. I booted up my machine and started scanning the area….was getting constant signals from deeper trash metal…but kept scanning looking for that very unique surface gold ring signal. 3 minutes into the search in an area of deep grass I got the signal I was hoping for….with Debra and Lenny looking on….I bent over and picked up a beautiful white gold wedding band! Was very happy to be able to return the ring to them…they were only 3 months into their marriage!
