Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Media, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Ron texted me after finding me in the Ring Finders Directory. He was doing some yard work at his home in Media, PA when his 45 year old gold wedding band slipped off his finger. He was 85% sure it fell off in his backyard. He had searched himself for 2-3 hours before calling a professional. I agreed to meet him the next day and upon my arrival he walked me through the area where he thought in fell off. A gold wedding band on the surface has a very unique signal…I also have the ability to zero in my machine on just gold signals. It was quite a large search area…but I started in the area where he spent the most time. 3-4 minutes into the search I received the signal I was hoping for…looked down…and there was his beautiful gold wedding band shining up at me!!! I called Ron  over and to say he was amazed and happy would be an understatement! I was so happy I was able to get his ring back on his finger!!!

 

Ring lost at a San Diego park found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Yanni was at a local park enjoying the day and the various amenities, including playground, grass, and pushing her child on the swings. Somehow, afterward, she discovered her wedding ring was missing from her finger. Since her husband also had once lost his ring and had it found by us, she knew who to call. I arrived a bit early and decided to hit the swings first since nobody was on them. I got about half way done when it seemed EVERYONE wanted to swing. I abandoned the search there and went over to the tot lot to check the playground area. Mostly rubber, but, there was some sand areas I was able to quickly eliminate. I then walked over some grass areas on the way back to the now vacant swings. I got just about done with the swings when I got THE signal. Sure enough, just a few inches down in the wood chips, I found a gold ring. You can see in the one photo how easy a gold ring can hide in wood chips. Yes, it’s there in the center on top! Not knowing what her ring looked like, since she hadn’t arrived yet to describe it or even show me the exact search area, I stored it and continued to detect until she arrived. A few minutes later, Yanni arrived. I asked her to describe the ring, but, instead, she showed me a photo. Bingo! I pulled out the ring and said “yup, that sure looks like the one” as I held it up to the picture. A relieved Yanni can now go about her day with a complete finger. A pleasure meeting you and thank you for the reward.

 

 

 

Diamond Earring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wayne, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Chris found me in The Ring Finders directory and dropped me a text. Apparently his wife, Molly, lost a very sentimental earring following breakfast at a local restaurant in Wayne, PA. Prior to meeting them at the restaurant later that day, Chris conveyed to me the following details. Molly had been eating breakfast with some friends and while at the table she felt her earring fall off…she picked it up and thought she put it securely back in her ear…but when she got to her car a few minutes later it was not there. They spent several hours searching for it in the parking lot. On the phone I told them that if it fell off in the gravel parking lot it was just as likely they would find it with their eyes vs with a metal detector because it would be right on the surface. They still wanted me to come search. I met them at the restaurant and prior to getting my detector out of car we walked the parking lot as Molly described how she thought the loss occurred. I then went to get my machine out of the car so I could scan the one earing she still had and then begin the search. Well…while walking back to them after grabbing my detector I was hyper focused on scanning the ground…like most of us Ring Finders do…and sure as heck…there was her beautiful earring!!! No metal detector necessary!!! I walked up to Molly and asked her to stick her hand out…confused…she did so…and I dropped her lost earring in her hand. Her and her husband were so full of surprise and joy that the lost earring was back in their possession!!!

Lost ring in Kirksville Mo…. Found with a metal detector

Contact:

A very nice young man named Kyle called me about trying to recover his 14K wedding band.

He was walking a friend’s dog on a leash in a park when the dog bolted for some reason twisting his fingers and his ring flew off.

He borrowed a metal detector but being unfamiliar with it couldn’t find the ring. This was his father’s ring so he really wanted to find it.

We were there a little over two hours, gridding different sections where the ring was lost when I found it. He was very happy to have it back.

Pendant lost at La Jolla Shores found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Adam was playing ball at La Jolla Shores beach when he discovered that his necklace had broken and a treasured pendant was missing. He and his friends searched for it without success. A referral got him to TheRingFinders.com website and my contact info. When I received the call, I was out detecting with a buddy. We were about done anyway, so, we jumped into his car and headed to his house so I could jump into my truck and head out to the beach. When I got there I lucked into a parking spot and contacted Adam. Once on the site, I got the story and found the search area was relatively small. Less than 5 minutes later without a signal so far, I got a steady tone on my Equinox 900 and judging by it and the number readout that this was the probable target. Pin pointer poked into the sand located the object and sure enough, a beautiful pendant came to light. A happy Adam can now relax and enjoy the rest of the day and evening. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Long Distance Recovery, by Dave Milsted

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Allisa called me last week with a unique request. She had lost two rings on her four-acre property and wondered if I could help find them with my metal detector. She had already recovered her engagement ring but was desperate to locate her missing wedding band. Another detectorist had quoted her $250 per hour, but I don’t charge for these searches; I work on a reward basis. The catch? Her property was a three-hour drive away.

She explained that in a moment of frustration, she had thrown both her wedding band and engagement ring. The engagement ring was found, but the yellow gold wedding band, adorned with many diamonds, was still missing. She and her husband had searched extensively, even weed-whacking and raking the area, but to no avail.

I initially offered to drive up on Sunday, but Allisa hesitated, concerned about the distance. Instead, I suggested a simple trick she could try that very night. I told her to go out to the area after dark with a powerful flashlight and scan the area where she had found her engagement ring. I emphasized the importance of doing it before any rain or dew settled on the grass. She agreed to give it a try.

The next day, I received an ecstatic text message. Within ten minutes of following my instructions, Allisa had found her wedding band! She was overjoyed, and honestly, it made my day too.

LOST 14k WHITE GOLD EARRING in MOUNT ULLA…… FOUND!!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)

I received a call yesterday from a gentleman, whose wife had lost a 14k white gold earring in their field. She was mowing when she ducked trying to avoid a limb. Well the limb caught her earring and popped it out of her ear and into the grass. They bought a cheep metal detector and used the other earring to try and find the one that was lost, but with no success. So they found me on the internet and gave me a call.

I told them I’d be there first thing in the morning. I arrived and we had to walk to the back of the fields. She showed me where she was mowing and where she got snagged by the limb and 10 secs later there’s her earring!!

LOST GOLD 750 CARTIER RING in RALEIGH, NC…… FOUND!!!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)

Barley got home and a young lady texted me saying she had lost her gold 750 Cartier ring in Raleigh while playing in an outdoor beach volleyball tournament.

She said she lost it while making a play on the ball. She felt it slide off. She said she went back today with a metaldetecter and couldn’t find it.

She asked when I could come and find it for her. So, of course I said, “Give me 10 mins and I’ll be on the road!”

When I arrived there were a group of people playing volleyball so I had to wait. As soon as they were done, my first signal in the corner of the playing area was her ring.

Today was 2-2 gold ring kind of day!!!

LOST 18K DIAMOND RING in NEW LONDON, NC……FOUND!!!!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call the other day from a gentleman whose wife had lost an 18k gold ring about two years ago. He asked if I could come and try to find it. I was currently working that day, but I said I would come first thing Sunday when I was off. I get to the house meet his wife and she begins to show me where she was at and what she was doing the day she lost her ring. I began to search, I was hearing many signals, but I got a good signal under a holly bush tree move back the dirt and I could see a gold circle. I stood up, looked over at her and said I think I just found your ring. The smile and the excitement on her face said it all. She was beside herself with joy. She couldn’t believe that after two years, she was reunited with a ring that she’s so cherished.

After finding the ring, we stood in the driveway talking about the ring. They shared with me that it was a custom ring made in New York. The jewelry company name was seven fingers. Because the jeweler only had seven fingers.

I love putting smiles back on peoples faces!!
