LOST PLATINUM WEDDING SET IN GREENSBORO, NC…..FOUND!!!!

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

I received a text from a sweet lady that lost both her rings while cleaning up acorns in her backyard.

She was putting them into a roadside trash bin and realized later that her rings were missing. She dumped out one bin and checked and didn’t see them or find them with a friends metal detector. I scanned that first then I scanned the backyard and didn’t find them.

Then she mentioned the other trash bin, so I pulled it over and dumped it out on the tarp with the other acorns I had already scanned and I got a hit. First I found the diamond ring and quickly scanned again and there was the wedding band just a few inches away.

She mentioned her late husband had lost his gold ring in the yard somewhere so I asked if I could try and find it. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get over it. She wasn’t sure where he was or what he was doing when he lost it.

Lost Gold Signet Ring While Working in Backyard — Found!

John’s Gold Signet Ring Recovery — The Hunt Begins

The call came in around 10:30 that morning.

John had lost something very special in his backyard — an engraved gold signet ring. He had been doing some landscaping when the ring disappeared, and despite searching, he just couldn’t find it.

When I arrived, John showed me the area where he thought he had lost it.

The area was a fairly steep beautiful back yard, terraced bank covered with grass and pine straw, with landscape lights, metal plant stakes, and plenty of other metal throughout the area. I knew right away I was going to be hearing all kinds of signals and would have to carefully work through each one.

I started at the lower end of the bank and began working my way through the area.

High tones.
Low tones.
Iron tones.
More metal.

There was a lot going on underneath that pine straw.

Before I started, I had asked John if he had a picture of the ring. Fortunately, he did. That turned out to be a big help because I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for — and what kind of signal that gold signet ring might produce.

After about 20–30 minutes of searching, I got a signal that caught my attention.

It was a multi-tone signal, and it sounded like there were two pieces of metal sitting right next to each other.

That was enough to make me stop and investigate.

I started digging…

Pulled back the pine straw…

And there it was.

BINGO! 🎯

One large men’s engraved gold signet ring!

After working through all those signals and fighting through the terrain, that moment when the ring finally appears is what makes these recoveries so rewarding.

Most importantly, John got his ring back.

Another lost ring found.
Another happy owner.

This is a beyond helpful service, 
if you've lost something metal don't even waste any time just call Evan! I Found myself facing what would be a tremendous loss, while out on a run my ring fell out of a side bag with a hidden tear that I did n't notice. I spent two days retracing my steps before I found out about Evan's ring finding service. The search space was going to cover nearly 2 acres so I had agreed to pay an hourly rate, which was very reasonable. And he was committed to a multi day search which is what we both expected. But, at just 1 hour in and against all odds... he found it!! It was in deep and dense grass on a city easement. An area I had thoroughly searched multiple times already. It is shocking just how easily a ring can vanish into some grass but on the other hand at least it is out of sight from any passerby's. Before meeting with Evan I already had "reward" posters up throughout the neighborhood so it was an absolute pleasure to pay out the reward to Evan and have my ring back. Can't thank him enough!

Sam was playing in the leaves with his daughters.  A few pine cones tossed and his ring disappeared. Six hours of searching yielded nothing. It took me 10 seconds.

Lost Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Broomes Island, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Matt back on October 4th about a wedding band that was lost the day before. I’ll just let him tell you the rest. Thanks for the kind words, Matt!

After you read his testimonial, take a look at the one picture! You can see how easy it would be to overlook it in the grass with the naked eye!

 

I can’t recommend Jim Wagner highly enough!

My sister got married last weekend, and sometime during the wedding my dad lost his wedding band in a grassy area that had been used for guest parking. He had worn that ring for 52 years without ever losing it, only to have it disappear on the day of his daughter’s wedding. Needless to say, both of my parents were extremely upset.

I spent about an hour searching the area with a flashlight but had no luck. Since the wedding was in a coastal area where metal detecting is fairly common, I started searching online for someone who specialized in finding lost rings and jewelry. Jim was by far one of the most highly recommended people I found, so I left him a voicemail.

Within about 10 minutes, Jim called me back. As luck would have it, he was already driving relatively close to the area on his way home. After I explained what had happened, he asked me a few questions and had me send him a photo of the area where I thought the ring had been lost.

When Jim arrived, his experience immediately showed. Using his equipment and expertise, he was able to locate my dad’s wedding band remarkably quickly. Finding a ring that had been worn for 52 years—and that happened to be lost on such an emotional and important family occasion—was an incredible blessing. We were all so relieved and grateful.

I also really appreciated how fair and straightforward Jim was about his fee. Because the location ended up being a little farther out of the way than originally anticipated, there was a very reasonable $40 call-out fee. Beyond that, there wasn’t a predetermined reward amount. Jim simply suggested considering what you might tip for good service along with the monetary and sentimental value of the item he recovered. I thought that was an exceptionally fair and reasonable approach, especially considering the value of what he helped return to our family.

If you ever lose a ring or another meaningful piece of jewelry in the area, I would absolutely recommend calling Jim before attempting to buy a metal detector and search for it yourself. After watching how quickly he worked, it was obvious that successfully finding lost jewelry involves much more than simply owning the equipment—it takes experience, skill, and knowing how to use it.

Jim clearly has that expertise. He turned what could have been a heartbreaking permanent loss into a wonderful ending to a very special family weekend. We are incredibly thankful, and I would highly recommend Jim Wagner as the person to call if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.

Matt

Lost Wedding Band… Found at Elk Run Heights, Iowa

Contact:

I received a call from Tom about finding his lost wedding band. He was mowing his yard and had some low hanging branches on a tree in the back yard.

He tried to hold a limb up and mow under it with his riding mower when the limb pulled his wedding band off. Of course they searched for it and came up empty.

I went today and gridded the area under and near the tree and after an hour found the ring. Thanks for the call out and reward.

LOST WHITE GOLD WEDDING RING TEGA CAY, SC…..FOUND!!!

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

Received a text from a young man that said his wife lost her rings in their front yard and asked me if I could come find one of the two rings. They ended up finding the engagement ring but were unable to find the wedding ring.

We agreed to Sunday morning and I get there, get my machine dialed in and start my search. The area was about 5×5 area and took me less than 5 mins find it! Took me longer to set up the machine than it took to find the ring.

They weren’t home at the time so I placed the ring in a secure spot until they got back home and they sent me a photo of his wife holding up the ring.

Another recovery and a precious ring back where it belonged!!

2 Rings Lost 6 Months Ago Found in Grand Haven

  • from Grand Haven (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I received a voice and text message from Mike today saying his wife Nan had lost her wedding and engagement rings while gardening last March.  He said he would have called sooner but, at the time, he had no idea the service we provided even existed.   When I arrived, Nan explained that, while she was gardening last spring, it was still cold and she didn’t realize that 3 of her rings were missing.  She wasn’t sure where she lost them: the garden in the front yard, back yard, or maybe even when she went for a walk down to the pier that day.  She did manage to find one of the rings in the garden in the front yard near the driveway so we were hoping the other 2 rings were there also.  After about a 10 minute search, in the front garden, I located both rings about 2’ from each other only about an inch deep.  When Mike went in the house and told Nan I had found the second ring I heard her scream.  They had only been married a year and the platinum wedding band had been his mother’s ring.  It was a pleasure finding such a treasured heirloom, something they had thought was lost forever.

2 Rings Lost 1 Ring Found

  • from Saugatuck (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

On September 14th, 2026, Ring Finder Dave Boyer asked my brother Rich and I if we’d help search for two gold wedding rings lost while swimming at night in Lake Michigan. We agreed, and Dave connected us with his client Matt, who described where he thought the rings were lost. He marked out a boundary in the sand, and asked us to stop at the sandbar. After several hours without success, we agreed to come back Wednesday at Matt’s request. Since Matt was heading home to Miami, his father Frank would met us and get us searching. Rich and I met up with Frank then headed down to expanded the search area. About five minutes in, along the north line, I found Matt’s wedding band in knee-deep water, closer to shore than we expected. After searching until our arms were toast, we ended the search. Still, one more Gold Ring made it home with its owner! A Special thanks to Frank for posing with Matt’s ring for my Book of Smiles.
