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.
Carl lost his 14k gold wedding band while doing yard work. He tried looking for it but the grass was so overgrown. His wife told me Carl is more sentimental than her and was upset that he could not find it. Their daughter tried helping find it as well but found us on Ring Finders instead. Carl explained he had gloves on and took them off and on several times. He lost his ring before doing the same thing and said it always found it in his gloves, except for this time. I started on the path of travel found it in about 45 seconds.
I received a call last night from this gentleman stating he had just lost his ring. We agreed to meet up the next morning so we had more time and sunlight. He continued saying he bought a metal detector and was getting lots of signals. He took the machine back last night after we talked.
I arrived around 8:30 and found the gold ring by 9:30. He thought he lost it about 50 yards back so we spent most of the time searching where he thought he lost it. After I wasn’t finding it, I started working my way further down and finally got a good double tap single I was hoping for!
He was so exited! Another happy story! Love recovering rings for people!!!

“DIG IT ALL, SAVE SOME RINGS, BURY THE DRAMA!”
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.
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.
“Objects with sentimental value are treasures that money can’t buy.”
Justine said “it doesnt have a lot of monetary value” but she made her own wedding ring as well as her husband’s. So you can imagine how special this ring was to her. She was visiting from out of town with her family and decided to play basketball with her son at a park nearby. She was sure she had lost it on the blacktop because that’s when she noticed something was not right. Quickly realizing her ring was gone, with her son’s help they searched the blacktop several times over and over. Assuming it had rolled or flew off into the grass, she called for help. I decided to start around the basketball court, did not take long as I did not go out far. With no success I had a hunch to just look over the blacktop before i expanded my search area. It was a small court so my guess was probably not there. But as soon as I took 2 steps onto it I saw my favorite color of blue. There it was. Maybe sometimes you just need a fresh set of eyes searching without emotion. Can you spot the ring on the blacktop?
This gentleman lost his wedding ring while bagging leaves. I joked and said “it will probably be in the last bag”. Jeff and I both tagged teamed this one. If Jeff got a signal, I retrieved. After one pull tab and a foil piece and of course the last bag, (9bags) we found the ring.
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.
So got a text from the wife of a guy that lost his platinum wedding ring at an AirBnB last November, just as the cold weather started coming in, I told her that sadly, I was done with water hunting for the season and that I could do it in late spring/early summer depending on the AirBnB schedule.
So a couple of weeks ago, I texted her and said I could do now that temperatures are rising. She responded and said she’d have to contact the owner of the house and get back with me.
We worked out a date and time for Sunday after 10:15 when the family checks out. I make the drive, review last years pictures and jump in the water to start my search. About an hour went by and I finally see a silvery/Platinum ring in my scoop!
I get out, take some pictures and send it to her, asking if this was “the ring!” She quickly replied back, “OMG, YES!” I said “send me your address and I’ll send you guys the ring!”
I sent this platinum ring to MD and the received it! It’s back where it belongs!!
