Great referral from my Bay Area detecting partner, Dave Millman.

Kara had been playing in Bol’s Park with her kids the day before. She had given her Grandmother’s wedding band to her dozing husband for safe keeping while playing in the sandbox and pushing her toddlers on the swings.

Leaving the park, they discovered that her ring was missing from her husband’s pocket! They searched and searched where they had been playing but came up empty handed. Panicking, she posted a note on the bulletin board at her office at www.Google.com. Two fellow Google employees immediately referred her to www.TheRingFinders.com.

Within minutes, Dave returned her call, but due to family obligations, he was unable to help. It’s always smart to begin a search as soon as possible so Dave called me right away. I met Kara at Bok park in Palo Alto the next day.

As I began metal detecting under the swings, Kara had decided to “search her car one more time”. After I had been searching for about 10 minutes, Kara popped up beaming! She had found her ring in her car! I was happy too, as I shared her relief, in recovering her Grandmother’s beautiful platinum and diamond wedding ring.

I cannot take credit for recovering the lost platinum wedding ring, but, with her permission, I wanted to share this happy ending in our “Book of Smiles” at The Ring Finders. At the end of the day, the result was the same, another happy customer!

Another happy Ring Finder's client!

With extra time on my hands, I searched the rest of the park and came up with a ton of aluminum pull tabs, a tiny toe ring, a cool Chinese key chain and a few old coins. Overall, it made for a very satisfying day of detecting!

41 coins recovered in 5 hours of searching. Nothing valuable, but great detecting practice.

2 Lost Wedding Rings Recovered on Day of the Wedding! Bolinas, Point Reyes, CA 94924

I get called out on a lot of wedding ring searches, but it’s not very often I get a call ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING!

Briefly, the wedding party had rented a beautiful farm in Bolinas, CA for the weekend, with the ceremony to take place in a large open field overlooking Bolinas Bay, just south of Pt. Reyes. Moments before the ceremony, it was discovered that the ever so cute 2 year old “ring girl” had been playing with the box of rings in the field and lost both wedding bands in the deep grass! The whole wedding party searched and searched but to no avail. Finally, they went ahead with the ceremony using rings borrowed from guests, but not before Googling the Ring Finders.

Fortunately I was available and showed up about an hour later with my metal detecting equipment. I interviewed everyone about the approximate location of the lost rings and was able to narrow it down to a 30×30′ area in the field. I quickly laid out a search grid and began a methodical search of the target area. The first thing I found was a 1927 Danish 2 Ore coin, very unexpected!

I instantly became the entertainment for the party, with adults, drinks in hand, standing around making jokes and laughing, while a mob of little kids shadowed my every move.

Finally, after about a half an hour, the crowd dispersed, and after locating several pieces of iron junk, I got “slammin hit” right in the gold range on my detector. I knew immediately that I had found the gold rings under the heavily trampled grass. Coincidently, only the bride was now watching me, and instantly picked up on my vibe. She made visual contact with me from the across the field, I nodded, she smiled, and began walking my way. Moments later, in the photo below, the lovely bride, Audrey, shows off the recovered wedding bands.

Words cannot express the satisfaction one gets from saving the day on such a special day for Audrey and her new hubby Warner. I was treated to a tall Hefeweizen and hardy round of congratulations from the wedding party. I drove home, with a small reward in my pocket, and a wonderful feeling in my heart, knowing I had made a small positive difference in some good people’s lives. It’s the best!
