Heirloom Ring Lost in Arbrey, TX

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call on Easter Sunday afternoon from a very upset gentleman.  He was at a family gathering for Easter and a water balloon fight broke out.  Rewind a moment …to earlier that day the Grandma of the family had passed along to her 14yr old  Granddaughter a Gold & Diamond Ring she had been wearing for over 60 years, she told her Granddaughter to keep it safe and to pass it down to her children one day.  Then, a little later, the water balloon fight broke out with all the family members.  Lots of laughter, everyone was soaked, everyone so happy and then the granddaughter SCREEMED “my ring is gone!”.  Everyone dropped to their knees and began searching.  The father jumped on the Internet looking for a solution and found “The Ring Finders” website.  He gave me a call and it just so happened we lived on 11 miles away.  So Ellen & I jumped into the truck and drove over.  When we arrived 3 family members were still searching the yard.  Ellen & I began our search over lapping each pass. We checked the field beyond the house and got permission to go over to the neighbors on both sides in case it flew over the fence.  We even used our camera system to check the gutters on the home to no avail.

We decided to make one more pass over the backyard area where the granddaughter had spend most her time.  And on my next to last row/pass, I got a signal that should not have been her ring but then I saw it…

Easter Celebration was saved.. smilies and hugs and tears thanks to the Ring Finders….  It was a Easter to remember.

Mens Wedding Band lost in Joe Pool Lake

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

After a great day on the water at Joe Pool Lake,  the client placed his wedding on a Yellow and Black Container and set it up on the dock.  He then set his Wedding Band on the Container and continued clearing out his boat.  Finding one more item he reached over the edge and opened the Container and saw his Wedding Ring slip off into the lake.   After finding us on the Ring Finders Website we had him measure the depth of the water.  But amazing it s 26ft deep.  A very deep Dive for our area in total darkness.  Upon arrival we set a drop line with a weight attached in what we hoped would be the exact location of the ring, both the husband and his wife were extremely nervous.  After about f26 minutes I was able to locate the ring 26ft down in the dark.  So fun to see a happy customer.

Lost Diamond/Garnet Gold Ring in Arlington,TX

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We are off to a an exciting 2025, so many calls this year already.

This afternoon we got a call from a lady who said 3 days ago she was working in her very large front yard, clearing weeds and frozen plants clean-up.  At the end of the day she realized her Ring Guard and her Diamond/Garnet center Ring were gone off her hand,

Very distraught, she search and searched, she even purchased a metal detector and it totally confused her because she had no one to teach her how to use it.  She had her husband and children out searching but no luck.  Her husband finally said ”just hire a professional”.  So she searched the internet and found The Ring Finders and called us.

As luck would have it we were only 20 minutes away having just finished another Ring find.  So we immediately went over and did our search.  After just a few passes through the yard and flower beds, when I got a solid 45 Gold Signal on our Garrett AT Pro.  We were able to put a big smile on her face that made our day….we love our hobby.

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…

Lost Tiffany Diamond Ear Ring in Canton, Tx

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got call from Faith, she said she was Skydiving for the first time.  Once she landed in the field she was taking off her Goggles and felt her brand NEW (only had them 24 hours/10yr anniversary gift) Gold & Diamond Ear Ring flew off.  She immediately dropped to her knees with her parachute still attached and started looking for her ear ring.   Her partner and all of the staff at the Sky Diving Club searched and searched but with no luck.  They bought a metal detector NO Luck, the had someone come out with a better Metal Dectector- NO Luck.  Someone suggested she better hire a Pro, so she called “The Dallas Ringfinders”.

We got the call 1 week after the loss, we scheduled to come out after church on Sunday and met the couple and all 7 of the staff of the Sky Diving Club, everyone there had been searching for the Ear Ring.  Great thing was the staff had put out a orange cone at the landing location where Faith had landed.  Ellen & I got our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors and  our Garrett Water Proof Pinpointers and began our search… it only took a minute.  I got a solid 45 gold signal at less than 2 inches deep.  I checked the site with my Pinpointer but go No signal, I then cleared the dried grass with my foot and scanned again,  still getting the 45 Gold signal indicator.  I then bent down and slowly and carefully scanned the area with my pinpointer and got a hit on the edge of the thick grass I had cleared.. still seeing nothing I use my hand to slowly clear the grass and then I saw the “Glint”.  What fun to return a beautiful ear ring..

What a fun search, we got a call from a retired Fire Chief in Lewisville, Texas.  He was helping out with a community Fundraiser where they pushed 40,000 Yellow Duckies off the falls and each duck had a value, they raised over $200,000 but our Aggie while pushing the final Duckies off the falls his Aggie Ring flew off into the pond.
He was very distraught over loosing his ring and tried to rent a Metal Detector but not knowing how to use it was a challenge, he actually was talking to the Fire Department Rescue Scuba Divers about trying to find it for him when he found “The Ring Finders” and called us.

Ellen and I met him on Tuesday morning and found his ring, I love what we do….

Lost Wedding Band returned to Owner who is in Hospice

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

    Today we drove 3 hours to find a gentleman’s Wedding Ring he lost gardening 6-8 months ago.  Today unfortunately his health has driven him into a Hospice situation.  His wife and adult children really wanted to have the ring found before he passes.   When his wife answered the door she broke down crying, “just knowing we were there to search for the ring”,  it was literally 100 degrees.  We began our search through the sticky blueberry bushes and all over the 3 acres.  The wife came out to speak with us, as Ellen was speaking to her, I continued to search.  And praise God not 10 feet from where she was standing I got a Gold Signal.  I reached down and got a really big smile on my face knowing  I had just found the ring.  The lady nearly jumped into my arms when we showed what we had found.  We so love what we get to do.

Lost Silver Ring Found in Land O’ Lakes Florida

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Lost Ring Returned Silver RingItem recovered August 13, 2024. Neena had reached out in the afternoon about a ring she lost in the conservation area behind her house. I arranged a call later that evening to get a better understanding of the area and circumstances of her loss.

Neena said she had lost her ring while enjoying the quiet area behind her house back in November, 2023. She wasn’t exactly sure where it was lost, and the area where she was standing was small in size. She had looked for it herself, but wasn’t able to locate it. In addition, the neighbor had recently constructed a fence and she was worried the ring may have been found by the workers, or possibly lost in the small pond with all the rain we received from Hurricane Debbie.

She also mentioned that this particular ring had a high sentimental value to her as it was given to her by a life-long friend who had recently passed away. It was very important to have this ring returned!

I met Neena at her house the following day after work and surveyed the area. Because of the fencing, it was necessary to use a step ladder to be able to get over the fence in the back, which stood approximately four feet tall. I grabbed my equipment and used Neena’s ladder to scale over the fence into the conservation area.

Search Area Once over the fence, I started detecting near the ferns, where she said she spent much of her time when she lost the ring. I immediately got a loud signal with a high VDI, similar to how a silver item would sound. Upon digging the item from the ground, it turned out to be a crushed-up soda can.

I slowly moved toward the pond, thoroughly covering the area about 15-20 feet away from the ferns. I found additional garbage-worthy items, but not the ring we were looking for. I returned to the fence to Neena to again discuss where she was on the day she lost the ring. She mentioned she also walked along the edge of the pond to where it turns left and so I started back out to search the edge of the pond.

Approximately five feet past where I had stopped earlier, and on the very edge of the pond, I had another signal on the metal detector that sounded like silver. It was the ring! It must have been pushed into the ground by about 1/2″ (perhaps by someone stepping on it, or being run over by a lawn mower tire). I turned around and yelled “Neena! I found the ring!” I probably should have verified it was the one we were looking for so as not to get her hopes up, but it matched the description and found in the loss location. We hadn’t even had a chance to thoroughly clean it off yet, but she put it back on her finger and it fit perfectly.

Neena was overcome with emotion and very thankful I was able to help return this ring to her.
