Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Broomall, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Received an afternoon call from Mark seeking assistance in finding his beautiful and ornate gold wedding band. In speaking with him on the phone he shared that he felt his ring fly off his finger while unfurling a hose in his front yard a month earlier. Apparently he and his family had spent countless hours searching for the ring and even purchased a metal detector in hopes of finding it. It finally dawned on them that they might need to hire a professional…so they consulted the Ring Finder directory. I met Mark the following day at his home in Broomall, PA…he walked me to his front yard and showed me the area where he was convinced the ring was lost. Despite them searching for hours and using a cheap metal detector over the course of a month…I had no doubt that i would find the ring if it was there. Let me just say that a gold ring on the surface has a very unique and powerful signal on a detector…any experienced detectorist would recognize it immediately…so i didn’t pay much attention to all the other signals I was getting on my machine…I was hyper focused on a surface gold ring signal. Well…8 minutes into the search I finally heard the signal I was focused on….sure enough I reached down into the high grass with my pinpointer and there it was!!! When I showed Mark where I found it he was dumbfounded…he scoured that exact area with his eyes and the metal detector. I was so happy to be able to reunite Mark with his lost wedding band….he told me that it’s inscribed with his wedding date and initials and it has been with him for 45 years.

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned in Ambler, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Mike contacted me after losing his gold wedding band in his backyard in Ambler, PA. He was about to start making meatballs for dinner so he took his ring off and put it in his pocket. He finished the meatballs and went into backyard to kick around a soccer ball with his son. He noticed his band was no longer in his pocket after re-entering his house. Total time between putting his ring in his pocket and noticing it missing was less then an hour! Clearly must have fallen out while kicking the soccer ball in backyard…he spent hours looking and raking the backyard but no luck. He found me in the Ring Finders directory…and I met him 2 days later. He took me into his backyard and showed me where he was playing soccer with his son. Like I always do I started grid searching very methodically…starting at one end and working toward the other. 10 minutes later, I was in the exact middle of the “soccer field” when I finally got the signal I was looking for…the grass was a little high and there were quiet a few leaves but I still immediately saw his white gold wedding band gleaming up at me! I was very happy to be able to return Mike’s ring to him!

White Gold Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned in Willow Grove, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from Edward after he found me in The Ring Finders directory. He was raking and bagging leaves at his home in the Willow Grove, PA area when he noticed his ring had fallen off. He searched for hours and even purchased a metal detector to try to find the ring himself….but no luck. He decided to consult with an expert and i promptly met him at his home the next day. I told him on the phone the day before to not throw away any of the bags of leaves that he collected. When i got there…I noticed that he poured the contents of all the leaf bags into one large pile….but he said he and his wife went through it all already. I turned my machine on….after 2 or 3 swings over the leaf pile…I received a signal in my headphones that was an obvious surface gold ring! Bent down with my pin pointer and after a total search time of 1 minute I picked up his ring! He couldn’t believe it but the relief on his face was priceless!

Lost Gold Pendant in Public Park-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Jae late Thursday evening and she said she had lost her gold pendant in a local public park.  She and her friend had looked all evening until around midnight that night.  The pendant was made from the engagement ring her grandfather had given her grandmother in 1942. So it was very sentimental to her and all she had left of her grandparents.  The grass in that area was pretty deep, so finding it by sight was nearly impossible.  I got there by around noon the next day on Friday.  She had the area marked where she noticed the broken necklace.  I had marked out a block for my search that was about 75 feet by 50 feet.  That search area bordered a sidewalk on one side.  Being a public park I assumed the ground there would be very contaminated with metallic trash and other items, and it did not dissapoint.  Fortunately, with the Manticore metal detector I was able to differentiate between what was on the surface and what was deeper.  That still lengthens the search time because every target has to be inspected before moving on.  I completed the grid search in the block I had marked out and found nothing except pull tabs and a nickle.  So I moved down a little and marked out another block, this one a little smaller.  About halfway through that search area I was about 12 feet from the sidewalk and I got a 41 on the Manticore that was on the surface.  The grass there was about 3 inches deep so I pulled out my pinpointer to locate whatever it was.  The pendant was there, completely covered with grass and was not visible to the eye.  My total search time was about 2 hours.

Lost Grandfathers Ring in Concrete Mix

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a gentleman who was mixing concrete for a row of 2 X 2 Steps.  He was making about 20 steps for a customers’ walkway.  In the process, due to some recent weight loss, his treasured ring which his Grandfather had worn his entire life and then passed on to our him disappeared.  Short story, he had the ring on, made 20 concrete steps and 2 hours later when finished the ring was gone.

He was pretty sure it was in the 3rd step as a bag of quikCrete had burst open and he had scooped concrete with his hands.  Upon arrival with our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors we began scanning each step.  Few normal beeps and noises until I reached the 1st step.  It was not a normal Gold Signal but it was extremely strong.  I told the customer, I’m not sure it’s your ring but there’s definitely something there.

He said OK and picked up the 2X2 step and threw it on the ground breaking it into pieces, then he yelled “There it Is”. He did a little dance in the yard, gave us a big hug and told us we made his year.

This hobby/business is so much fun…

Lord of the Rings

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

Jeremy, thank you so much. Backstory: this is a custom wedding band that reflects our shared love of Lord of the Rings trilogy story. We’ve read the books and watched the movies many, many times. I was doing yard work and pulling weeds. I noticed the ring was missing when I went to throw the weeds in the yard waste dumpster. I was searching through the yard waste dumpster, the trash bag I had just taken out, and crawling around the area I was doing yard work for 2 days. That’s when we found your website. You found the ring within 10 minutes or less and were a pleasure to work with. We’d recommend you to anyone who is in need of your services. Thank you!!

Platinum wedding ring lost in bushes in Orlando, Florida…found and returned to happy owner!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Successful recoveries have to be done in a timely manner.  Timing is very important!  If you lose something on the beach or any public location, don’t wait.  Call as soon as possible…321-363-6029.  I will answer your call!

Shree writes…”We’ve been married over a decade and some years ago I lost my wedding ring which made me feel sad for months.  Much later I learned about this metal detecting service but it was too late…so recently when my husband lost his wedding ring I made sure to get a professional search done, only the circumstances were much much harder.  He lost his ring in the midst of the dangerous storm, Milton here in Florida.  We thought we were well prepared for the storm but in the middle of it my husband realized he missed closing down one of the front window shutters.  He was drenched from the rain while pulling the shutter down and came up onto the porch where he shook his drenched hands to get the rain water off and alas with the strong flick of his hands…his ring went flying!   And God knows where!  It was impossible to look for the ring in that weather as every time we stepped out of the house we felt like we could be blown away.  And the following morning we searched again to no avail.

Then I found Mike online and quickly called him.  He assured me the ring had not left my campus and that felt strange to me…given the torrential rain the previous night.  But still we planned to wait and meet the day after, when the weather had settled down.  Mike is so friendly and kind and we really appreciated the unexpected seriousness of effort he was putting into the search while we had mentally given up on the find.  It was more than an hour and a half into the search on the ground and under the shrubs and bushes in our front yard where the ring was lost and we were starting to feel like we had done our bit and it was over.  But Mike’s persistence and hope was on another level!  He just kept digging and searching and…Voila!!!  There it was!  He found it stuck way down in the middle of one of our super thick Bird of Paradise plants!  I don’t think there was anyway we were ever going to be able to find it there on our own!  I wouldn’t have believed in such a service if I did not witness it’s success…BUT it works and Mike is terrific at it!  We are absolutely thrilled to have  our precious ring back!  Thank you Mike!  Abhi and Shree”

A Lost Treasure Found: The Return of Janine’s Wedding Ring

  • from Erie (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

It all started with a text from Mike on Saturday evening – his wife Janine had lost her custom 8-diamond wedding ring back in the spring of 2023. They had tried everything: bought a metal detector (but had no idea how to use it) and enlisted 8 friends to help search the yard – all without luck.

The ring had gone missing while Janine was mowing the lawn, likely bouncing out of her sweatshirt pocket. I knew this wasn’t going to be a typical ring recovery. A heavy gold ring lost that long wouldn’t just be on the grass – it would be in the dirt.

Despite the 3-hour commute, cold 45-degree rain, and muddy conditions, I got to work. After digging around 60 holes across their 1.5-acre yard and 3 hours of searching… success! The ring was just a few feet off the driveway.

When Janine saw it, she burst into tears, gave me the biggest hug, and said she thought she’d never see it again.

There’s no better feeling than helping someone recover a symbol of love and memories they thought were lost forever.

Grandmothers ring found at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Summerland CA

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

If you have lost your grandmother’s ring or your wedding ring call or text Santa Barbara and Ventura County’s metal detection expert Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009. Don’t wait because time, the tides, lawnmowers and even other detectorists are not on your side.

I got a call from a nice young lady named Glory who after weekend classes at Pacifica Graduate Institute was unwinding with friends and playing some volleyball in the grass when a spike sent her grandmother’s ring flying off her finger somewhere into the grass. She along with her friends had spent hours looking for it but couldn’t find it so they took to the internet and found metal detection expert Dave MacDonald and set up a time for me to come out.

I couldn’t get up there the same day so I promised Glory I would get there at sun up the next day. She was a little nervous because she needed to go back home to Berkeley but I assured her that once I found it I would promptly mail it back to her. The sun was just coming up when I arrived in the hills of Summerland and I met the security guard on campus and coordinated a grid pattern to make sure I would get my Minelab Manticore coil over the ring. After three passes I got a high hit on the manticore and I pulled out my pinpointer to verify a surface target and after pulling the grass apart there sat embedded in the grass a beautiful old 24k gold ring.

I showed the security guard the ring and we concluded it had to be the one and I took a photo of it and sent it to Glory. As we figured it was her grandmother’s ring, now on it’s way back home where it belongs.

If you too have lost a ring, necklace, pendant or bracelet do what Glory did, call or text the metal detection expert in Santa Barbara and Ventura county Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009 so we can make a plan to get your jewelry back to you. Don’t waste time trying to buy or rent a metal detector, just call the metal detection expert at 805-290-5009 so you can get back what was lost.
