Pendant found in Santee

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

Mick contacted me wanting to find a pendant that his father used to wear before he passed. Mick himself buried the gold nugget pendant on the other side of a retaining wall in the back yard of the family residence for safe keeping. Now, years later, the mother has passed too and the house is to be sold, so, time to dig up the pendant….except Mick can’t quite remember exactly where that is, or, how deep, except that he didn’t think it was more than a foot. After some digging in a 3′ X 15′ area, he decided using a metal detector would be much easier. I met him at the site this morning before it got too blazing hot. A relatively small search area, but, rebar in the retaining wall, irrigation plumbing, various metal junk, and landscape lighting made it a bit more difficult. After using both my 15″ and 6″ coils without success, it was time to scrape off a layer to get to deeper targets. With the sun starting to poke through the overcast, I could feel why shoveling this dirt was plan B. Another pass over the search area finally produced a non-ferrous signal worth investigating. Even though the pendant was initially buried inside a plastic bag, no remnants of said bag came to light, but, the pendant did! A happy Mick can now sell the house without any sadness or lingering doubts about leaving his family heirloom behind. A pleasure to meet you Mick, and thank you for the reward.

LOST 18k GOLD WEDDING RING IN MACON, NC…. FOUND!!!

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

About 3 weeks ago, I received a call from a gentleman that had lost his wedding ring about five years ago while winterizing his boat on Lake Gaston. While he was putting a tarp over the top of his boat his ring slid off, due to the colder weather. It dropped in about 5-6 feet of water at the time.

We agreed on a date and time for me to drive the 2 hour 40 min (one way) trip to see if I could recover it. It took me 25-30 mins to gear up, get the back story before I got in the water. 

After about 5-8 mins… 1st target (piece of aluminum) 2nd target a thick and heavy 18k gold ring! “SUCCESS!”

After meeting his wife she admitted she teared up when their daughter told her, ”He found daddy’s ring!” She also admitted, “I didn’t think it could be found and thought it was a waste of time!” Glad I was able to change that mind set and make them all happy!! They shared an awesome/funny story about the inscription on the ring. It says “I LOVE TATOR TOTS, BUT I LOVE YOU MORE” they met while ordering tots! It’s always nice to learn things about the folks you help, especially something that can’t be replaced!

While there, I was told the owner of the house had lost his white gold wedding ring near the water while removing water grass and tossing it up to the bank. After about 40-50 mins I found that ring too!

Men’s Lost Wedding Band Found and Returned, Woods Hole, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Mark was enjoying a swim at the beach, only to find that his gold wedding band had disappeared.  His wife did some searching on the Fabulous Falmouth web page and discovered the searches and recoveries I’d made with The RingFinders.  Early the next day I received her call for help.  Fortunately, low tide was coming up in a couple of hours, similar to the timing of the loss the previous day, so I arranged to meet Mark at the beach to do a search.  He described how he had put lotion on his hands before going in the water, and he felt confident that the slippery lotion and shrinkage in the cool ocean accounted for the ring making an unwanted exit from his finger at some point during his swim.  We identified the boundaries of a substantial area where the ring might be and I headed out to do a search.  I started shore-parallel swaths at the deep edge of the area and slowly worked toward the beach, keeping ahead of the incoming tide.  A frustratingly large number of solid targets turned out to be aluminum trash, but after about four hours I dug a sweet gold signal and his beautiful ring came up in my scoop.  Mark had left an hour or so earlier, so I called him and he returned to collect his ring.  It was a great to see the big smile on Mark’s face, and it was another great day for The RingFinders!

Gold Wedding Ring Lost From Cooler Bag On Emerald Isle Beach…Found!!!

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Liz messaged me in the morning to explain she is missing her gold wedding band.  She placed the rings and her glasses in a soft beach cooler bag pouch.  It was later she went to retrieve her glasses and found one of the rings, a heirloom gold wedding band from her grandmother, was missing.  I was nearby with all of my equipment and headed there as soon as I could get to their beach house.  She explained the area saying the moved around a bit and the cooler had tumbled over a few times.

After getting a good idea of the search area, I started from the furthest point and worked my way towards the beach hose doing a square line grid search.  After digging some garbage and finishing the area, still no ring to be found.  I then expanded the area and after the 2nd pass in the expanded grid, I was able to pull Liz’s ring up from the shallow sand.

Necklace lost at Mission Bay found

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

Kitty was visiting here and spent the last day of her vacation at the beach. She took off her special necklace with attached pendant, that was given to her from her grandmother, to apply some lotion. Well, you know the rest, it ended up in the dry sand where it seemed to completely disappear. After searching online, trying to contact some people in vain, talking with a few, including my fellow ring finding buddy Curtis just north of me. He told her that I was closer and could probably get on site quicker, since she had to get to the airport to catch her flight. Being Father’s day, a Sunday, summer time, and a hot sunny day (at least at my house), traffic and parking can make a 20 minute drive turn into an hour or more. My wife came with me in case she had to circle for a while if it came to that.  As luck would have it, the weather at the beach had turned a bit cool and overcast, so, lots of folks were leaving the beach area and allowed us to get there quickly and find a parking spot close by.  We met Kitty at the search area and got the story of the lost necklace. Not a huge area, maybe 20′ X 30′, but, she had no feeling as to the most likely spot. I decided to start at the north most end and work my way south. First target on my first pass was promising, but, not knowing what this was actually going to read on the detector, I would be investigating every signal. Success! A gold chain with it’s pendant came to light. An emotional Kitty gave us both a big hug and tearful thank you. A pleasure to meet you, glad you could make your flight, and thank you for the reward.

Wedding Band Lost On Topsail Beach Found After Sunset By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Bob is an avid surfer.  His family was spending time at a Topsail Beach, NC beach house.  Beach chairs were set up just below the home and Bob decided to take the paddle board out in the surf.  He removed his wedding band (one day before his anniversary) and placed it in the beach chair pocket.  Before Bob returned, his son started to gather up the chairs and umbrella from the beach.  He wasn’t aware his fathers ring was in one of the chairs.  When they realized what happened a search began and Bob’s daughter-in-law found my service and called for help.  She stated they had to be out of the rental by 10am the next day.  I loaded my gear and started my 60 mile drive.  It was dark when I arrived and Bob’s family was very smart to mark the location of where the umbrella was placed and told me all chairs where North of that spot.  After a few passes I received a very loud signal.  I dropped to a knee and my pinpointer sang out the location of Bob’s ring.  Since it was dark during the recovery, we took photographs on the rental house back porch.  I remember Bob saying “It took you longer to grab your gear than it did to find the ring”

Lost Gold Pendant Necklace and Gold Wedding Band, Honeymoon Island, Fl….Found!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)

Steve Thomas

Dunedin Ring Finder   lostringdunedin.com

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

My wife and I recently were in Texas for about six weeks for the birth of our second grandson. I received several messages from individuals who had lost jewelry in the water at Honeymoon Island. Because I knew I would not be returning for several more weeks, I needed to call upon some experienced, trustworthy detectorists to conduct searches for these lost items as soon as possible and before they were found by someone who would not return them.

Adriacely contacted me to say that her husband Wil had lost a gold necklace with a large gold pendant given to him by his grandfather. Mitchell messaged that he had felt his white gold wedding ring slip off of his hand while he was paddleboarding. Tampa Ring Finder Jason Connolly and Scott Carlson of Pinellas County Florida Ring Recovery agreed to search for both items. After water searches by both, Scott (who had previously found and returned another necklace I had searched for) recovered and returned Wil’s gold necklace and Jason was able to find Mitchell’s wedding ring!

Adriacely and Wil, so very happy that Scott was able to find your necklace. Mitchell, it’s nice to see that wedding band back on your finger courtesy of Jason’s recovery efforts. Scott and Jason, thank you for your outstanding work done in these difficult water recoveries. And thank you for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder to help you find your lost jewelry!

Platinum Ring Recovery

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

I was contacted on 6/4/204 to find a lost Platinum Ring. Here’s her story

 

Last week – on the way out of town (literally the family was in the car) – I decided I needed to water my plants on the patio. A decision I’d come to regret. The cicada game was fierce and I was watering with my right hand and swatting them away with my left. And then, I felt my wedding ring fly off my finger. But I didn’t see where it went – and didn’t hear it hit the patio and land. I was sure it was in one of the four bushes there – but with a few minutes of checking we gave up and decided we’d look upon our return Sunday.

Well, after a several hour Sunday search and three bushes dismantled branch by branch – we gave up and decided to get professional help.

I contacted Jeremy Conrad Roth from The Ring Finders and he said he could be out within a day. 🥳

Then, to add more fun variables to a horrible situation – the lawn care came while I was away and mowed the lawn where the ring could’ve been even though I contacted them and canceled. 😡😭

But, the next day – after a few hours of completely selfless work on Jeremy’s part (and after I started to lose hope a little) Jeremy did not give up and went in for another check of the original suspect bush and saved the day!! HE FOUND MY RING!!!

I may have to plant some new bushes by the patio – but I have my ring back!! If you ever need help finding a lost item – call him!
