Lost Wedding Ring Found in Slidell, Louisiana Backyard

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted about a lost gold wedding ring in Slidell, Louisiana after it accidentally flew off while the owner was removing his gloves on his back porch. The ring landed somewhere in the wooded backyard area, which included mud, shallow water, and thick vegetation which made it difficult to locate by sight alone.

We scheduled a recovery, and once I arrived in Slidell, the homeowner showed me the last known location. I began a systematic search using my Nokta Makro Simplex Ultra metal detector, placing orange flags to mark signals that were too deep to be the ring, and carefully scanning the area behind the house.

Within about 15 minutes, I received a strong signal in a shallow water section. As I passed over the target again, I could actually see the gold ring faintly visible beneath the water and mud about 1-2 inches deep.

Using my Garrett ProPointer AT, I quickly pinpointed and recovered the ring.

The homeowner and his family were incredibly relieved and excited to have the ring back. Losing a wedding ring can be stressful, but fast response and the right equipment make all the difference.

If you have lost a ring in the New Orleans, Louisiana area please reach out to me and I can attempt to recover your ring.

Lost Wedding Band Recovered in New Orleans Backyard

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by a man named James in New Orleans who lost his wedding band while pulling weeds in his backyard and had no idea where it could be, since he’d been all over the yard working in different garden beds. I started the search using my Garrett AT Pro-Pointer inside all of the garden beds but had no luck, so as daylight began to fade I switched to my Nokta Makro Simplex Ultra and began systematically searching the yard. After about 45 minutes of searching total and just before it got dark, I got a clean signal and found his ring laying just outside one of the garden beds. He was incredibly relieved, and it was another great reminder of how rewarding it is to help someone recover something so meaningful.

Gold ring lost in garden, found by ringfinder in Laplace, Louisiana

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by Lance on July 27, 2023, asking me to help him find his gold wedding ring that he lost during Easter time when he working in his garden. I went to Laplace, Louisiana in hopes of recovering his ring and returning it to him. Lance has had his wedding ring for almost 27 years and he has felt lost without it for the past few months. He didn’t recall exactly when it fell off, he just remembered having the ring on when he started in the morning and then it no longer being on his finger in the afternoon. He said he went numerous places throughout the yard where it could have fallen off. I began my search on one side of the garden bed and worked my way to the other side, only scanning the top layer with the pinpointer. No luck! So I decided to take out the Simplex+ and attempt to search the yard. The yard was relatively empty and there were no serious targets. I decided to go back to the garden and search the 3-8 inch deep range. After clearing about 3 feet of garden and got a beep from the pinpointer. As I scooped with my hand, out popped a gold ring. The 95 degree heat was really taking a toll , so I was extremely relieved I was able to find this within the hour. I went up to Lance and asked he “what type of material was the ring again?”. He responded with “yellow gold” and I said “like this type of yellow gold” as I showed him the ring. He was extremely excited and appreciative.
