Lost Wedding Ring Recovered Northwest Houston, Texas
I received a call from Fernando a resident of Northwest Houston on Thursday regarding his lost wedding ring.
Fernando stated he lost his ring today while trimming the hedges in his front yard. He said he had searched for several housrs and was unable to find his ring. Fernando said he later searched the internet and found www.theringfinders.com website and located the nearest Ring Finder.
I met Fernando at his residence this morning and was given the details of how and where he believed the ring had fallen of his finger.
The area to be searched was quite small, and the recovery was quite quick.
Fernando was quite surprised and relieved his ring was recovered.

The success continues! I must admit that I never imagined this 100% success streak would continue this long. The best part of it is not the actual streak, but the amount of people that I’ve been able to help out over the past few years.
The most recent, or should I say the most recent TWO recoveries happened this past Sunday(1/5/14)! The first was for Rodney. He called me on Friday explaining how he lost his wedding ring while taking down Christmas decor. I’ll let Rodney tell you how things went down after that.
Last week I took down my Christmas lights and decorations and was hurrying as it was quickly getting dark and beginning to snow outside. As I finished and came into the house I realized that my wedding ring had somehow fallen off while outside. I frantically went outside with a flashlight and attempted to locate the ring but was unsuccessful. The next day I was searching the internet looking for anyone that may be able to help, when I came across the Ring Finders website. I read Jim’s blog and was given a sense of hope that he may be able to help as he has a 100% location success rate. I contacted Jim and we made plans to meet that Sunday to attempt to locate the ring. When Sunday arrived I did not think we would be able to search as it was raining / sleeting with still over 5 inches of snow on the ground. Jim arrived with his friend Lance and after introductions the two men began to search for the ring. After nearly two hours of searching Jim began to thoroughly search each bush while on his hands and knees as a last attempt to locate the ring. I heard Jim call out that he found it and immediately showed it to me. Jim & Lance’s professionalism and skills were very present that day and I would recommend them to anyone who ever needs their services going forward.

Stay tuned for the story of the second recovery in the same day!
I got a call from Brian, who was referred to me from Jean, a woman I had helped out the previous year. She had lost her ring in her backyard while gardening. When she had heard that her friend Brian had lost his ring, she immediately told him to give me a call. The day was January 6, 2014. The temperature was -17 degrees, with a -41 degree wind chill. Let’s just say it was cold. My son and daughter were home from school, due to the historically low wind chills. After I got off the phone with Brian, my wife said – “You’re not actually going to go look for it in this weather, are you”? Well, Brian was in Middleton, which is my home town, so it wasn’t much of a drive. She just shook her head. We brought our metal detector along, but it was simply too cold to do the hunt. We were able to get the story on how he lost his ring, as well as a general idea on the search area.
Earlier in the week, Brian was over at a neighbor’s house for dinner. Shortly afterwards, he became sick to his stomach and said he had to return home, which was about 4-5 houses away. Unfortunately, Brian did not make it home. He threw up shortly after leaving, stumbled and fell into a snow bank. He said the next thing he remembered is waking up in his own bed, but he had no idea how he got there. After he woke up, he asked where his wedding ring was – it was not on his finger. He figured someone had taken it off while helping him up to his bed. However, no one had removed the ring and no one knew where it was. He thought back to the night before and remembered that he was not wearing gloves when he walked over to his neighbor’s house. His best guess was that it had slipped off when he passed out in the snow bank.
The next day, Brian had attempted to shift through the snow himself looking for his ring, but had no luck. As a last resort, Brian like so many others, rented a metal detector with hopes of locating it. However, after hours of frustration he gave up. You see, using a metal detector isn’t overly difficult, but figuring out what all the beeps and tones mean is something that takes practice and a lot of patience. You wouldn’t believe all the metal junk that is buried in the ground.
Once the weather had warmed up a little (literally back up to 0 degrees – the winter in WI that year was one of the worst), my son and I returned to Brian’s neighborhood to begin our search. Brian had given us a general area to search. We could see the piles of snow that he had searched through already. After about an hour of searching, we had nothing. It was cold, and we were about to call it quits when I told my son, “5 more minutes”. Well, it only took 2 and we had a strong signal. A couple scoops of snow and right there staring back at us was Brian’s shiny tungsten carbide wedding ring.
Carter and I got a quick picture with our find, and then handed it back to Brian. He still couldn’t believe that we found it, because he had search and searched on his own. He figured someone had picked it up and he would never see it again. Brian gave us a nice reward, which went toward two nice hot glasses of hot chocolate!

We received a call from Christine about 3pm on Sunday afternoon. She got our name and number from a friend she had told that she had lost her wedding set of 3 rings.
Christine lives on about a acre of land, she had gone out to the back of the property to help her husband bag up some leaves that he had been raking together. They worked together for about a hour and finished up and carried the bags of leaves up to the garage about a half acre away. That was when she realized that her Wedding Set (3 rings) was missing. In a panic, she and her husband looked all over the yard, they dumped the leaf bags out but did not see anything. They spent several hours looking with no luck. Later in the day while talking with her friend, she told her about the lost rings. Her friend said, wait a minute I heard about this website of people who find rings. She Googled and found “The Ring Finders” website and called Christine back and gave her our number.
It was about 3pm when Christine called and she lived 41 miles from us. I told her we would be there in about and hour & a half. We needed to hurry as I was concerned it would get dark and it was already quite cold, and the darkness would only make it colder. We arrived and got our 2 Garrett AT Pros and Pinpointers out then Christine walked us to the back of the acre of property. She showed us all the places she walked and was helping her husband with the leaves. Ellen and I chatted about what area we would grid off visually and began to detect. Within 10 minutes I hear Ellen say “Here’s One”, I joined her as we looked through about 4-6 inches of leaves in a pile but nothing else rang up on the detectors. I told Ellen to keep looking and I ask Christine to show me the bags of leaves, my thinking was that if one ring was in the pile of leaves that they had been bagging then it was likely the other rings would be in the bags of leaves near the garage. I began to scan the full plastic bags of leaves with my detector and got 3 very light hits. I kept scanning but nothing else hit so I backed up to the bag with something metal inside. I tore a small hole in the bag and began to stick my Pinpointer into the bag. As I got a signal, I used my hand to begin pulling out whatever the metal was. 1st hit was piece of wire, the second was a metal screw and the 3rd hit I could not see it. Finally I saw a glint of Gold in the bag. I began to smile but had to fight the leaves to find it, and finally the smallest of the 3 rings rings was found. Christine was standing right beside me and could not believe I found it. Now the only ring missing was the most expensive, the diamond solitaire with several small diamonds around the band. After determining that nothing else was in the 4-5 bags of leaves, I walked back to the rear of the property and told Ellen that I had found one but that one was still missing. She had been working out visual grid and I went back and started back over the grid working the opposite direction. I made several passes checking every 2inch or less hit that I got regardless of the type of signal. Then I got a shaky 44-46 hit that was very weak, as I was checking everything I almost kept going but thank goodness I did not. I reached down and moved the leaves and grass and there it was, the diamond solitaire twinkled at me. I reached down and picked it up and ask Christine, “Would this make you Happy!” She and her husband were so excited and grateful. It is so much fun to see the reaction of our customers when we are successful.
So 3 rings, 1 in the leaf pile, 1 in a trash bag a 1/2 acre away and one in the grass 5-6 feet away from the 1st one.
Another successful hunt for “The Ring Finders”.

I received a call today from Ryan and Jess regarding Ryan’s lost wedding ring.
Ryan and Jess reported Ryan was playing football in the front yard with family when
his ring flew off of his finger.
Ryan mentioned his wife Jess was not happy :), but after speaking to her she
insisted Ryan would be sleeping in-doors tonight regardless of the out-come.
Ryan reported one of his family members had located www.theringfinders.com after
his failed attempts at finding his ring.
I think you can tell from the smiles, today was a good day
I was happy very happy for Ryan and Jess, you could see the relief and happiness
in both of them when the ring was recovered.

About two weekends ago, I received an email from a guy that has lost his wedding band. Over the weekend as he was raking and putting leave in trash bags. As he notice that his ring was missing. He has been looking for the ring since. Dumping the bags full of leaves and searching though them with his bare hands. After a few emails, a search date was set. I show up and started my search, after about a hour the ring was found in one the the many piles from dumping the bags. He was very happy to have the ring back.

The streak continues! A gentleman by the name of Brock emailed me several days ago about his lost wedding ring. Again, I can’t emphasize enough how important taking good notes, both physically and/or mentally, are important to the success of finding your lost item. Brock did an excellent job at this which in turn made the chances of success very likely. Brock not only had the details fresh in his mind of exactly what happened, but he physically marked the spot he was standing on his property when he believed the ring flew off. He did go out and buy a metal detector and gave it a shot himself, but quickly realized that having a metal detector is only half the battle. Knowing how to operate it to its fullest capabilities is a must. Once I arrived at his home, I was able to recover the ring in about 25 minutes. It was about 5 yards from the spot he marked, buried in a small pile of leaves. Here are a few pictures of the ring itself and a very happy Brock!
Remember, if you are unfortunate enough to lose a ring, piece of jewelry, keys and the like, attention to your surroundings is the most important factor. The other is to contact someone that not only has a metal detector, but the skill and experience to use it. Please be sure to check everyone’s blog in your area if you need help. Once you do that, the decision who to contact should be an easy one based on success.
This is another long distance find. Portia called me and said her husband Chris probably lost his wedding ring at a beach resort in La Jolla. The location was on private property so they had to arrange for me to do a search there. They were visiting from Colorado and had already returned home when they contacted me so they couldn’t show me the location in person but they were able to e-mail me a map with the likely area noted. So with my trusty “treasure” map and a contact name at the resort, I headed down the the beach with my E-trac. After meeting the resort person and telling him my plan, I headed over to the search area and started a grid pattern. Since I was searching for a stainless ring, I didn’t leave anything to chance on signals…..and there were a ton of them! I dug everything that made a repeatable sound. Seems nobody has detected that area for quite some time as there were target everywhere! After about an hour or so, moving a few beach chairs, and over 40 targets, I got another one that didn’t fit any common target I.D. Success! It matched the description so my day was done. I gave them the fun call and made arrangements to mail the ring to them. It’s up to the USPS to finish the reunion now! Thanks for calling me and hopefully when you vistit here again, we’ll get a chance to meet.
