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 Gold Cross…Found At Iowa City, Iowa

Contact:

I received a call about a lost gold cross. They were in Iowa City for the Hawkeye homecoming game against Northwestern. They were tailgating before the game when a girl lost her sentimental gold cross that was once her grandmothers.

There was a grassy area where she thought it could have come off the chain around her neck. I arrived at halftime and did a grid search in the area for around 90 minutes until I found it.

It was a happy ending for everyone and the Hawks won too!

Lost 48 year old wedding ring – Found!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Charles and Marty were visiting all the way from Seattle. When you have worn your wedding ring for 48 years and it goes missing on the beach, you can’t just let it go. Luckily Charles’ and his wife Marty tracked me down and asked me to give them a hand. They weren’t sure exactly where it had come off but they had good directions to where they had been sitting with their family the day before so that was a pretty good starting place. Marty and Charles weren’t able to be there for the search but I could hear how important this ring was to them in Marty’s voice when we spoke on the phone. I was thrilled when I called back later and asked where I could meet them to drop off Charles’ ring. They were almost in disbelief and the entire family cheered in the background. I met them later and got some fantastic hugs as we put the ring back where it belongs. Congratulations Charles and Marty!

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!!

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.

I got a call from Britany yesterday where she explained that her husband had inadvertantly lost his wedding ring while participating at a surf contest at Leo Carrillo State beach in Malibu. The event was the Northern LA Boardriders October surf event. 

After finishing his set her husband came back in and forgot he had placed his wedding ring inside his wetsuit for safekeeping and when he took it off the ring came out and went lost into the dry sand. They knew the general area so finding it wasn’t going to be an issue for a metal detector expert so within a minute or two the lost ring was returned to it’s rightful owner and all was well at the beach.

If you ever find yourself losing a ring, necklace, bracelet or pendant don’t worry and just call or text metal detcting expert Dave at 805-290-5009. With thousands of dollars of jewelry returned he can help you too get back what was once lost. Don’t waste your money buying or renting a metal detector but rely on the expert at Ventura County Ringfinders.

Lost Texas A&M “Aggie” Class Ring…Found and Returned Four Years Later!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)

“It’s Only Lost Until I Find It!

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

My wife and I recently spent a week in Texas with our daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons. Part of the trip was a three day beach stay in Port Aransas along with other family members on both sides including our son and his wife. Of course, any opportunity I have to do detecting on a beach I try to take advantage of it so I carried along my Minelab Equinox 900 with me.

While detecting on the beach at Port Aransas the first day, my finds had been a handful of coins, a bling ring, a bling earring and an assortment of pull tabs. After a few hours of this, I was about a half mile north of the property where we were staying when I swung my detector over a target in the wet sand about four inches down on mid tide. The number on the display and the tone in my headphones gave me indications that the target was probably a beer cap but when I scooped it out of the wet sand I was pleasantly surprised to find what appeared to be a small gold class ring! After a quick wash of the ring in the salty water, I could see that I had found a Texas A&M class ring from 2021 and the full name of the owner was inscribed inside! For those of you who don’t know how important the achievement of a class ring is to an Aggie grad, you can find out more by searching “Aggie Ring Tradition” and the “Aggie Network”. To say it’s a big deal is a huge understatement.

I returned to where we were staying and began my research. I found two people on Facebook who had the same first and last names as what was inscribed in the ring and who lived in that part of Texas but only one of the two had graduated in 2021. I reached out to her through Facebook messenger (her first name is Amber) but I did not receive a response. The next morning, I decided to post the find on a Facebook page called “Aggie Ring Lost and Found” and it wasn’t long before some of Amber’s family and friends let her know that her ring had been found! Amber then responded to me and of course was shocked that I had found it because she lost it while playing beach volleyball about four years before and had only had it about four months. She had given it up for lost and had purchased a replacement ring. I told her that I was surprised it was still there because of how many people metal detect on beaches now. Amber asked me if I could return the ring to her brother Matthew who was in College Station for his last semester at Texas A&M when my family returned from our stay at Port Aransas and I promised her that I would. The day after our family returned to College Station from Port Aransas, I met Amber’s brother Matthew and returned the ring to him so he could deliver it to Amber who was living and working in San Antonio.

Amber, I was so happy that I could return your precious Aggie ring to you!

Lost Keys Grandin Neighbourhood, St Albert Alberta Canada

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

   

Mike called me to ask if it was possible for me to drop by his house and help him find his lost keys in his back yard. After asking Mike a few questions in regards to his keys I agreed to drop by.

I meet Mike in his back yard.  He was cleaning up around a wood pile and said he had left his keys on the side of the wood pile and when it was time to pick up his keys they were not where he had left them.

I quickly checked the area that Mike had raked up into a pile. Mike said he had double checked the pile with no luck, but had he raked another foot over, he would have found his keys!  Mike was very grateful to have his keys back.  Thank you Mike

Lost Wedding Ring recovered in the sand at Solimar beach Ventura

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

If you have lost your ring, necklace, pendant or bracelet in the sand, the water, the yard or field don’t wait call or text Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties Ringfinder Dave Mac Donald at 805-290-5009 so he can make a plan to get your lost Jewelry back!

I got a call from Bryn the other night asking if I could help him locate his wedding ring. He and his wife Camille had spent the day enjoying the sun and the sand at Solimar Beach in Ventura when upon arrival home he realized his ring was gone. He knew where he had been sitting but had made a few trips around the area so he wasn’t sure where he had lost it or even if he had lost it at the beach.

The area he lost it isn’t frequented by too many detectorists so I thought if it was lost there we had a real good chance of recovering it. When I got out there I was able to get near where they were sitting and I began to grid the area. After a pass or two I got a nice tone and and a reading of 54-55 on my Minelab manticore and put my CKG titanium scoop into the sand and started to shake it out and you could tell it was something big in the scoop. Normally 55 is a lousy zinc penny but in this case it was a men’s 18k gold hammered wedding ring, one of the most beautiful rings I’ve recovered in a while. I thanked God for the recovery and gave Bryn a call to let him know I had got his ring back. Needless to say, both Bryn and Camille were extremely happy and we made arrangements to meet so I could get it back to him.

If you have lost your ring, bracelet, necklace or pendant don’t delay and call or text Metal Detecting expert Dave at 805-290-5009. I’m available 24/7 and my only goal is to get back to you what you lost. I’m willing to try anywhere I think we have a chance to make the recovery so call or text 805-290-5009 right away so we can make a plan to get your jewelry back.

Old Silver Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts. Men’s Lost Wedding Ring Found for Owner by Metal Detecting

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

16 September 2024

When George lost the gold wedding band that had encircled his ring finger for 47 years he had little hope that he’d ever see it again.  He’d been enjoying a swim in chest deep water when he felt the ring slip off, and an attempted search in the mobile sand proved fruitless.  Later in the evening his daughter learned of the RingFinders through the Fabulous Falmouth Facebook page and early the next morning she called me to see if I might be able to help.  I of course said yes, I’d be happy to do a search.  She said she’d get in touch with her father, who lives off-Cape, so that we could arrange to meet and he could direct me to the area to search.  When I received his call and got some information about where he lost the ring I headed to the beach to start the search while he was on his way to meet me.  The timing was good, tide-wise, as water in the search area was now only shin- to knee-deep.  It was also good that I had received the call early, as there were already two other detectorists in the area when I arrived.  Fortunately, there was no conflict over the places that we were searching.

I set up a search pattern and within about 45 minutes had that magical signal that says ‘gold’.  One scoop and I pulled up George’s ring.  It had taken only one and a half tidal cycles for the ring to be buried 6-8″ deep as the waves shifted sand across the seabed.

I pocketed the ring and continued on searching the area while I waited for George to arrive.  He appeared about a half hour later and we stood on the beach and chatted for a few minutes.  He pointed out the area where he thought the ring was lost (spot- on for the area I’d searched!) and expressed his disappointment about losing the ring and his feeling that it was lost cause that it could ever be found.  We finally got to talking about the ring itself and I asked him to describe it to me.  As he finished his description I palmed the ring from my pocket, opened my hand, and asked, “does it look something like this?”  Needless to say, that next moment is always one of the BEST that one can possibly experience in life – the surprise, disbelief and joy of the recipient, together with the surge of happiness I feel, knowing that I’ve been able to make that happen.

Well, to make a long story short, I took a few pictures to go with this little story and we continued some conversation about life in general, and grandchildren in particular.  It was a beautiful day.
