Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wilmington, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Jim reached out to me after finding me in the Ring Finders directory. He was saddened and upset to notice his 37 year old wedding band had disappeared off his finger…when, where and how it disappeared was a mystery to him. The only thing he could think of was that it fell off while he was doing some yard work (taking his gloves on and off) in his backyard in Wilmington, DE several days earlier. He figured it was long shot and had little confidence it would be found but decided to give a professional a shot. He also spent several hours searching himself on his hands and knees. I arrived at his home that Sunday afternoon…as I always do…I demonstrated with my metal detector and my own wedding band what a gold band would sound like if I went over it. I want my clients to know that if they put me over the missing ring…I wont miss it! Jim showed me the area he was working…it was part backyard lawn and part woods…not a large search area. I was 10 minutes into the search and had covered 90% of the yard when…BOOM…there was the signal I was hoping for in the deep grass. I looked down and I could see the ring in the deep grass…I asked Jim who was standing nearby…if I could ask him another question…when he came over I pointed down and asked “is that your ring?” The relief and joy on his face was priceless!!!

Find a ring in Mamaroneck! – Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!

Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!
If you lost your jewelry, call me right now – 646-235-8797

This morning, just before 9 AM, my phone buzzed with a text from Sandra.

She said she had found my contact info online and that her husband had lost his wedding band the day before while running around outside with the kids at his brother’s house in Mamaroneck. The catch? They had already driven back home to Albany with their four kids, so making another trip down wasn’t exactly practical.

Almost as soon as Sandra’s text came in, I got another message from someone who had lost a ring too. Unfortunately, that one never panned out, but little did I know it was going to be one of those days.

A few minutes later, I found out Sandra’s sister-in-law and a family friend would be at the house after 1 PM and could give me access to the backyard. Sounded like a plan.

When I got there, I looked over the yard and started a grid search from the far left side. Nice and slow… straight out, back, over a little, straight out again. One lane at a time, just trying to cover as much ground as possible and hoping for that one good signal.

As I worked my way toward the middle of the yard, my detector suddenly gave me a really solid hit. You know when you hear one of those signals and think, “This might actually be it?”

I got down on my knees, grabbed the pinpointer, and almost immediately caught a little shine in the grass.

“I GOT IT!”

Yeah… I yelled.

Sandra’s sister-in-law and her friend came running outside, and they were just as excited as I was. The funny part was it wasn’t even their ring! But that’s one of the things I love about doing this. Everybody gets caught up in the moment.

I took my recovery pictures and started heading back to the Bronx feeling pretty good about the day.

Then, while I was driving home, I got a THIRD call for the day! This gentleman had lost a piece of jewelry at Rockaway Beach, and while we were talking about the search, he suddenly tells me…

“I found it!”

Turns out Alfonso found his own 24-karat gold bracelet while we were on the phone together. I can’t take any credit for that one, but I was happy for him anyway.

So today somehow turned into two happy endings. 😉

Maybe today was National Lose Your Jewelry Day and nobody told us. 😂

One family in Albany got a platinum wedding band back, Alfonso got his 24-karat gold bracelet back, and I got another reminder of why I enjoy being a Ring Finder so much.

You never know where the next call is coming from… or how the story is going to end.

LOST GOLD BRACELET W/GOLD BEARS IN SUMMERFIELD, NC…. FOUND!!!

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

Received a call from Julie saying she lost a very special gold bracelet with tiny gold bears. While doing some gardening and yard work yesterday.

I told her I can head her way as soon as I load my truck up.

I arrived at 3:25 after getting story and layout I started scanning. I decided to start around the garden area and I actually walked over it not once but twice!! I scanned the garden area then made my way to the front yard where she was doing some weeding out of her flower beds and moved a water-hose with a sprinkler over. I still didn’t find it and decided to head back to the garden area. (Got the feeling, you know?) I scanned around and scanned a hole and as I stepped back I heard a signal but couldn’t see it or anything yet. So I moved to the left a little and when I did I could see something shiny! It was one of the gold bears and then I could see two then three! It was her bracelet with the golden bears!

After reuniting her with her priceless treasure she advised me this was her only connection back to Colorado from where she’s from.

So glad they called me, gave me a chance and even more glad I was able to find it and get it back where it belongs.

Oura ring lost, found and returned in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:


Emily lost her Oura ring while gardening at night. Her boys tried to find it with their toy metal detector but could not find it so they called the Ring Finders. She was “98% sure” she lost it in a specific area. There was so much metal edging, garden trash and overhead wires it was a bit difficult. After being unsuccessful in the area she thought I checked her path of travel. I spotted it, no detector needed.

Zirconium ring found and returned in Aurora

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

My first zirconium ring. Derek lost his wedding ring while walking his dog Max, this morning. He walked me through his path explaining his stops along the way. About 20’ from the start of his walk he shook some tree branches that were hanging down to the ground from the heavy snow we got. My spidey senses told me to spend some extra time here. As I was swinging the detector around the tree I saw it before I swung over it. The snow had melted by now but still is difficult to spot. It camouflaged so well with the rock. Zirconium is a low conducting metal, over 90% is used for cladding fuel elements in nuclear reactors due to its low neutron absorption cross-section. 🤯
Derek and Max were both so happy! I mean look at that smile on Max!

Claddaugh ring lost, recovered and returned in Boulder, Co

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Olive lost her gold claddagh ring. She walked up to her friends house, as she approached the door she waved excitedly and felt the ring fly off. I should have taken a pic of the whole front yard but as you can see how thick the greenery and ivy were. She rented a metal detector but did not know how to use it. This is a common thing so if you don’t know how to use one ask someone that does. It will save you so much time and money. After about 45 minutes of not being able to find it myself with the detector I started shaking the ivy growing on the house. I tried looking down to see if it may have fallen. I was about 1/3 of the way when I looked down directly from the mailbox and saw a SMALL hint of gold. I thought it was foil it was so small but it was the ring. Tiny fingers. Tiny ring. The story of the claddagh ring is beautiful.

Rose gold wedding ring recovered in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:


This gentleman lost his beautiful rose gold wedding band while walking to his car at night. He felt it fall off but did not see where it went and with all the snow it had made it difficult. After a couple of hours searching he found me on Ring Finders. It was late but reassured him we’d be there in the morning before all the busy traffic started in that area. He explained what had happened, walking on a sidewalk in a busy area full of restaurants. We got so lucky that there was an open space in the street parking area close to where he lost it. I quickly had him stand in that area assuring no car would park there while I searched. I quickly found his ring up along the curb embedded in snow. Looks like cars were pushing it and compacting the snow against the curb. Happy tears as he was just recently married. This is what I enjoy about metal detecting.

Lost/Found Gold Ring Wedding Set In Milton, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

On 05/05/26, I received a call from Randy requesting my help in finding a gold ring wedding set that belonged to his wife Carole. Randy said that the wedding set had been lost in the grass at the rear of their residence while Carole was hanging up their wash on the clothes line to dry. Randy said that Carole felt the two rings as they slipped off her finger but upon searching the grass under the clothes line the rings were no where to be found. Upon responding to Randy and Caroles residence I started to search the grass under the clothes line with my metal detector. After a few minutes into the search I determined that the grass so short and dry that if the rings were on the ground it would be possible to see and recover them by searching by eye sight. I determined that the rings were not on the ground under the clothes line. I noticed that Carole had hung up a fitted bed sheet on the clothes line so that it could dry. I grabbed my pin pointer and ran it along the bottom of the fitted sheet at which time my pin pointer began to sound off. The two lost rings had slid off of Caroles finger and landed in the bottom of the fitted sheet, Carole removed the rings from the sheet and placed them back on her finger where they belonged.
