Vintage David Yurman Silver Ring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Mike was referred to me by fellow Ring Finder, Dave Milsted. He was working on snow clean up at a home outside Philadelphia during the recent storm. While working in the back alley behind the home he felt and heard his large, silver, vintage David Yurman ring fly off his finger. He looked for a while but it fell in the deep snow and a metal detector was needed for sure. I met him that afternoon and found the ring after a 10 minute search. Was very happy to be able to return Mike’s ring to him!

Beautiful Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wilmington, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Liz reached out me to 3-4 weeks ago after finding me in The Ring Finder Directory. It was after a huge snow storm dumped 18 inches of snow in the area. She told me her husband, Kevin, was out shoveling and messing around in the deep snow in their front yard when his large platinum wedding band disappeared. Kevin distinctly remembered the feeling that his ring flew off in the front yard while he was playing around in the deep snow. I came the next day after the storm moved out of the area. I spent 90 minutes searching the front yard of their home…but the snow was crazy deep and it was very difficult to effectively scan the area. After a good but futile effort to try to locate the ring we agreed I would come back after the snow melted. Well…3 weeks later I headed back. With another huge storm predicted to dump 18 inches of new snow tomorrow I figured I better get over there! I brought 2 metal detectors with me…one with a 15 inch coil that’s good for covering the grassy yard and another with a 6 inch coil which is good for looking under bushes and in tight spaces. I first started by scanning the entire grassy yard with the machine with the larger coil…no luck. I grabbed my other detector with the smaller coil and start checking under all the shrubs and bushes bordering the front yard and BOOM! I finally got the signal I was looking for…I looked down through the middle of a large bush and without even bending down I could see Kevin’s large shiny band sitting there underneath the bush. Kevin and LIz were both standing close by when I gave my fist pump victory sign! I believe Liz actually shed a few tears and the two of them were so full of joy to see the ring back on Kevin’s finger!

While I was searching for another ring lost on North Beach, I received a call from Carol who had lost her wedding ring in shallow water at South Beach on Honeymoon. Since I was so close, we met up in about five minutes and Carol told me that she and her niece Emma were visiting from Baltimore. After they had arrived at the beach, Carol had taken off her ring at the edge of the water to hand it to Emma to take back to where they had set their beach things. During the exchange, the ring dropped into the very shallow water and disappeared! I began my detecting search in the area where they thought the ring had dropped and by that time with the tide going out I was searching wet sand. After about 30 minutes, I had found and scooped out Carol’s beautiful ring!

Kyla contacted me while I was out of town to tell me that she had her ring come off of her finger while chasing down her cat in her back yard and she had been unable to locate it. When I returned, I searched the area in Kyla’s back yard where she thought the ring came off for about an hour with no luck. Then Kyla asked me to remove a board that was leaning on her shed and search behind it because it had been moved around during her search. When I did, Kyla was the first to see her ring nestled in the leaves! Who would have thought it would have ended up there? I should not be surprised!

Guy and his wife Tenice were enjoying a Sunday afternoon at SunWest Park beach near Hudson. Guy was standing about waist deep in the water and when he waved his hand to shoo away some seagulls one of his rings flew off of his finger! Guy had bought this ring for himself as a graduation gift about four years when he received his associates degree and had promised to pass it along to one of his nephews. Guy frantically tried to find it by sight and by feeling around in the bottom sand with his toes but was unable to locate it. Guy later found me on The Ring Finders website and we planned to meet at the park early Monday morning as I wanted to make sure we searched before any other metal detectorists did. After meeting up with Guy, he took me out into the water where he thought he had lost his ring. About 30 minutes into the search, I hit a promising target and out of the sandy bottom popped Guy’s ring in my beach scoop! Guy was speechless at first and then overjoyed! I was pretty happy about it too! Congratulations to Guy for the ring find as well for the baby to come this fall and good luck with your marketing business!

Steven, Stephanie and children Alyssa and Tyler were visiting Honeymoon about a week ago and enjoying a great beach day until Steven realized his wedding ring which had been placed in his shirt pocket for safekeeping had fallen into the sand when he picked up his shirt. Nicole under a nearby umbrella knew about my metal detecting service and suggested to Steven that he contact me. It took me about 30 minutes to get to the loss site and 30 seconds to find the ring! Son Tyler who is not pictured removed the ring from my beach scoop and ran off to tell his mother the good news!

LOST 14k GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING in CATAWBA, NC…….FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I received a text from a young lady on Sunday stating she had lost her 14k gold engagement ring in her backyard while pushing her little sister on a sled.

As she pushed her, she fell and stood up and shook her hands off and at some point the ring fell/flew off her finger.

Due to the road conditions, we agree on Tuesday after I got off work to drive down and attempt to locate her ring.

I arrived and met her and her mom, got the story and began my search. After about 30 mins, I get the signal I was hoping for. After a quick brush away and pin-pointer locating the target, there was her ring in the snow!!

I love helping people find their lost and irreplaceable!!!!

His & Hers Platinum Wedding bands Lost, Recovered and Returned in Villanova, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Thanks to fellow Ring Finder, John Favano, for the referral! Jerry reached out to me after losing his beautiful platinum wedding band while playing in the snow in the front yard of his Villanova, PA home. After searching for several hours on his hands and knees in the fresh snow he thought he would try to get a better idea of what the ring would look like in the snow….so….yeah….he borrowed his wife’s matching wedding band and threw that down. As you can guess….he immediately lost that one too! After several more hours of searching with rakes and shovels he finally surrendered and got in touch with a professional. He lost them on a Sunday….I was there with my metal detector Monday afternoon. Within 3 minutes total….I had recovered both rings! Jerry told me he briefly considered renting or purchasing a metal detector before calling me. I told him of the countless times I get the called after people buy or rent machine in an effort to find themselves…I told him the experience of the guy using the machine is more important than the machine itself! I was very happy to reunite Jerry and his wife with their beautiful rings!

 

A Snowy Wedding Band Recovery in Farmington, Minnesota

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
Another Ring Back on the Finger: A few days ago, I received a referral about a young man who had lost his brand-new wedding ring—just three months old—right after his big day. He was heartbroken. While brushing heavy snow off cars with his bare hands to clear the driveway for shoveling after a fresh snowfall, the ring slipped off without him noticing at first. He reached out, and I told him I’d drive out the next day—even though it was about 60 miles across town. The forecast was looking good: mid-30s and clear, ideal conditions for a search. I arrived in Farmington, Minnesota, around 2:00 p.m. the following afternoon as Paul Nolan of The Ring Finders. We met up, and he showed me the search area: the driveway, two sidewalks, and the street right in front of his house. The snow was piled 18–24 inches deep along the edges—tough going for any detector. Adding to the challenge, the concrete driveway had plenty of rebar, which throws off signals and makes pinpointing tricky. I started with a quick preliminary sweep of the entire area without moving any vehicles—about 20 minutes—and came up empty. No worries; I always follow up with a slower, more methodical second pass to catch anything subtle. A couple of spots were tough to reach with the cars parked there, but I hoped to avoid shifting them. As I began the second pass, I got a solid tone in a nearby flower bed, under about 6 inches of snow. The target was only a couple of inches down—very promising. I carefully scraped away the snow… and caught a glint of gold. There it was! I knocked on the door and told him I hadn’t found anything yet. The disappointment was clear on his face—he was bummed but understanding about how tough these searches can be. Then I opened my hand and showed him his ring. The look on his face said it all: instant joy, overwhelming relief, and pure happiness. That huge smile, the exhale of tension, the “I can’t believe it”—those moments are exactly why I do this work with The Ring Finders. Nothing beats returning a symbol of love and commitment that someone thought was lost forever. Grateful to have made this happy ending possible in Farmington! If you’ve lost a ring or know someone who has, don’t give up—reach out to The Ring Finders. These recoveries happen more often than you think.
