Roger e-mailed me yesterday asking if I could help him find his lost Tungsten wedding ring which he had lost last Friday while working to connect a cable line at a Condominium complex.
We arranged to meet this afternoon and Roger showed me the area that he was working at the time he lost his ring. He told me that he had spent a couple of hours looking in the snow with no luck, so he googled “Lost Ring” and came across the TheRingFinders website and contacted me. Within 30 minutes his ring was back on his finger.
Thank you Roger for contacting me to find your lost Ring.
I received a call from Jim in early September about his lost Iowa Hawkeye Lettermen’s Ring. He graduated from the University of Iowa in 1972 and lettered in track and had the ring to prove it until Sept. 2nd.
He and his family went to the Hawkeye football opener in Iowa City on Sept. 2nd. It was a hot sunny Iowa afternoon and Jim applied some sunscreen before the game and isn’t sure but later he thought he might have placed his ring on top of his car while applying the sunscreen and then forgot it.
He realized during the game that his ring was missing and of course they looked for it but couldn’t find it. On the way home his son was sitting in the backseat and heard something rattling around on top of the car. When he looked out the back window he thought he saw something gold hit the pavement and then go in the ditch. So he told Jim to stop he thought it was his ring that fell off the car.
They borrowed a metal detector and searched for 2 hours and didn’t find it. Later that week he found me online and contacted me and we met the next Sat. at the location. We had five of us searching with two metal detectors for over four hours and didn’t find it.
I went back on Sunday the next day for almost 3 hours and didn’t come up with it. For any of you who have attempted to search a road ditch you know how brutal it can be. There is always so much trash and the weeds are high, plus the traffic is distracting.
I had prior commitments and work for the next month of weekends but I finally made it back out there on Oct. 15th. I switched to my 6 inch coil to get through the weeds easier and separate through the trash. After an hour and a half I got a good signal next to a buried pop can and I found it!!
Got a call this morning telling me a engagement ring given 50yrs ago was lost in a yard, but it was lost in June. This was a concern knowing now it would not be a surface find anymore but have to give it a shot, I planned on being there most of the morning.
I was quite surprised when my very first signal was about 2 inches deep and pulled out this beautiful platinum wedding ring, not to mention how surprised the husband was.
This afternoon, while perusing the Lost and Found section on Craigslist, I stumbled upon a distressing post—a plea for help to find a lost Titanium wedding band at Mondo’s beach in Ventura. The story unfolded with Jared, enjoying an afternoon surf session while his wife and young daughter basked in the sun on the sandy shores. In a sudden twist of fate, as Jared’s wife rose from her spot, the ring slipped from her grasp and disappeared into the soft grains of sand beneath them.
The frantic search that ensued only added to the chaos, with multiple hands delving into the sand, inadvertently moving the ring further from its original location. With Jared’s directions pinpointing the approximate spot at Mondo’s, I set out with determination, fueled by my familiarity with the beach from countless surfing ventures.
Meeting Jared at the scene, we wasted no time in identifying the area of interest. Within moments, my trusty XP Deus metal detector signaled a promising find—a clear indication that the lost treasure lay just beneath the surface. With swift precision, I unearthed the buried ring, gleaming softly in the fading sunlight.
As the golden rays of dusk enveloped us, a sense of triumph washed over Jared and me. Another precious memory salvaged, another heartache averted.

I was contacted on Oct. 19th about a woman’s lost wedding ring. About a month ago Paula had been pulling weeds around her yard and was throwing them down a steep hill when she realized her wedding ring went flying with the weeds. Her husband rented a detector and then bought a cheaper detector in the hopes of locating the ring. After hours of searching he decided he needed some help. I arrived this morning around 9:00 a.m. and he showed me the location that he already had marked out with orange flags. I made my way back and forth between the flags and I believe it was my third or fourth good signal I found her ring! It came up at 12-12 on the CTX3030.
I was very happy to help this nice couple recover her ring and thanks for the great reward.
I received a call from Nada this afternoon requesting my service to find her two rings which were lost while she was doing yard work on Monday, however it was not until Tuesday that she realized that her rings where not on her finger. I told her I would be there within one hour.
I met up with Nada at her home where she showed me the area she was working in the back yard. She had been pulling plants out of her flower pots and raised garden and was cleaning the back yard for the winter.
After asking Nada a lot of questions I started checking the flower pots and then couple of bags full of leaves with no luck. I headed to her raised garden plot in the corner of her yard where I found the larger ring. The smaller ring proved much more difficult to find. I searched around the yard for another hour. Nada was realizing that the ring was probably lost elsewhere but I told her not to give up yet. She went in the house to warm up.
I continued searching and headed to another raised bed. There I heard a faint sound in my headphones. The ring was covered in leaves! I called Nada over and told her it was her lucky day as both rings had been found. She was very happy to have them back on her finger.
Thank you Nada in entrusting me to find your rings.
Following Sunday service, my phone rang with a plea for assistance from a distressed young lady who had encountered a streak of misfortune during her weekend camping trip at Carpinteria State Beach for the Avocado festival. Amidst the festivities, she had tragically misplaced a ring gifted to her by her mother, intended to ward off the string of bad luck she had been experiencing. Adding insult to injury, a neighboring camper had inadvertently damaged her Honda Civic, compounding her woes.
Upon arrival at the beach camping site, littered with debris and remnants of previous visitors, our task seemed daunting. Nails, bottle caps, and loose change cluttered the sandy terrain, posing challenges to our search efforts. Undeterred, we embarked on the quest to recover the precious lost ring.
After scouring the area for approximately 20 minutes, a promising signal echoed from my new XP Deus metal detector amidst the iceplant and sand. With bated breath, I unearthed the buried treasure, revealing the gleaming gold ring hidden beneath the surface.
In that triumphant moment, amidst the backdrop of adversity, we emerged victorious. The ring, a symbol of hope and resilience, was restored to its rightful owner, turning the tide of misfortune.

Several months ago I received a call from Trisha. She lost a ring several years ago in the yard of a friend in Levittown Pa. We texted back & forth and set up a date. The day before we were to look for the ring she sent me a message that there was a problem and she would get back to me. She kept in touch.
This week she texted and asked what my availability was. We agreed on Sunday morning at 8 am. I started packing up my truck at 6:30, and it starts pouring. Ok, better pack my rain gear and switch my detector to waterproof.
We met, and it is raining. I put on my bright yellow rain gear, pants, and jacket. I look like I am going to be on the show Deadliest Catch. Trisha takes me to the area that she believes the ring is located in. She was playing volleyball with friends and went to serve the ball. When she hit the ball, her ring went flying. She had warned me that there are a lot of bottle caps and pull tabs in the area, she was right!! Her husband had looked several years ago with a metal detector and didn’t have any luck.
About 10 minutes into the search her friends said that she was in a different area of the yard. So I expanded my search. 2 spoons, and several trash targets later I get the tone I am listening for. About an inch down in the dirt is a beautiful gold & ruby ring.
Trica comes running down off of the porch, and I get a very big hug. She then explains the history of the ring. The ring is her best friends mothers ring. It was given to Trica after the mother past away. Her best friend had an identical ring made while her mother was still living. She hasn’t been able to tell her friend that she lost the ring. She just saw her friend yesterday, and she was still wearing the identical ring. Trisha now says that she will tell her friend the story of her ring. So much sentimental value.
Trisha stated when we met before the search that the rain would bring good luck. She also reminded me that when we first spoke on the phone that I said if the ring was in the yard, that I would find it!!
I love my hobby!!!
If you have lost a metal item, don’t waste your time renting or buying a metal detector. It takes years of practice to learn what a metal detector is trying to tell you. Call a professional.
I received an email from Betsy on September 27th saying she had lost her wedding ring in her yard. She told me that her husband had raked the area they thought it was lost in and they had borrowed a metal detector but didn’t find it.
So I was able to make it there today October 1st. After about 15 minutes of searching the area I heard a shallow low signal 12-05 on the CTX3030 and I found her beautiful white gold wedding ring!
I was very happy to help this nice young couple find this important ring. Thank you for the nice reward and good luck to all the ringfinders out there.
