Tantalum Wedding Band Lost During Camp Out in Centreville, Alabama… FOUND!

Contact:

On Thursday (March 19, 2026) I received a text from Dom stating he had lost his tantalum wedding band during a birthday camp out at a friend’s house in Centreville, Alabama that prior Saturday.  Dom, his wife, Rebecca, and friends had spent hours looking for it both visually and with metal detectors.  Centreville is near Tuscaloosa, which is about 2.5 hours from me.  To potentially save a 5-hour drive, I gave Dom some tips to look on Friday.  Dom contacted me back Friday evening and said they still couldn’t find it and asked for my assistance.  I was free Saturday and more than happy to help, so I agreed to drive down from Huntsville and meet them at 11am.

I met up with Dom and Rebecca Saturday morning.  Dom began walking me through all the areas he was at – unpacking the car, walking path, fire pit, and camping areas.  I started where he unpacked/packed the car and worked my way out, stopping anywhere Dom remembered.  We made it out to the round metal fire pit and Dom said he was tending the fire.  I asked if they had moved the pit to search and he said no.  I said let’s move it in case the ring rolled underneath.  We moved it and it wasn’t directly under, but as soon as I stepped back, I caught a glimpse of a circle laying in some ash on the ground.  I glanced up at Dom and said, “I think we got it, brother!”  He said, “no way!”  Dom came over and had trouble spotting it at first, because rings will easily hide in the grass/vegetation and play tricks with our eyes.  But once he saw it, Dom was so happy and relieved.  He called over to Rebecca and the homeowner, Hailey (thanks for letting us search!) to let them know the good news.  Smiles and high fives all around!  We all enjoyed some friendly conversation, and I told them about some of my prior searches.

This was my first time finding a tantalum ring.  For my Ring Finder friends, it was a 63 on the Equinox 900.  As always, thank you, God, for another successful recovery and safe trip!  Until the next one, please take care and God bless!

LOST 24k WEDDING RING IN MORRISVILLE, NC…..FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a call that a young man had lost his 24k wedding ring while playing volleyball. They thought he lost it in the sand. I jumped in the truck and made the almost 2 hour drive.

I get there, get the story and begin my search. I searched the entire volleyball sand pit area 3-4 times and wasn’t coming up with the ring. One of the ladies had a 24k gold and it rang up a 91. I couldn’t believe it rang up that high until I found his ring.

I expanded my search area. After about an hour to hour and a half I went near the grass edge to the higher grass area in the direction of the water and I get a 94 signal! I look down and I can see a gold ring! Apprenatly the ring had bounced off the ball and went to his right about 10-15 feet!!

Another recovery in the books! This one was my 100th ring recovery since joining “The Ring Finders!”

Promise Ring Lost Throwing Dog Toy in Sylvan Springs, Alabama… FOUND!

Contact:

On Wednesday (March 11, 2026), I received a text from Kameriah stating her promise ring was lost while throwing a dog toy in her yard a few days prior.  She already bought a metal detector, but was unable to find it.  Kameriah lives in Sylvan Springs, Alabama which is about an hour and 45-minute drive from me in Huntsville.  I had to work at my full-time job on Thursday and Friday, so we setup a search for Saturday at 10am.

I met Kameriah on Saturday morning and had her show me exactly how and where she threw the dog toy.  She normally wears a size adjuster on her 10k white gold promise ring, but forgot to put the adjuster on that day.  I decided to use the 15-inch coil on my Equinox 900 metal detector to cover more ground in case the ring took a weird bounce.  Thankfully, on my first pass, I had a good sounding target in the lady’s gold range.  Just slightly hidden in the grass was Kameriah’s ring!  I looked up at Kameriah and gave her a big smile and thumbs up.  She was so happy to have her beautiful promise ring back.  Thank you, God for a quick and successful search!

We took some photos, said our farewells, and I was back on the road headed home.  I’m always happy to help and love that I get to go on these adventures!  Until the next one, please take care and God bless.

2xLOST, 100+yr OLD, WEDDING SET IN WILLOW SPRINGS, NC……FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

A friend of mine, Ray Mann, who is also a friend of Justin Wahrenburg, referred me to his neighbor whose wife had lost her wedding ring set in their backyard about a month ago. My friend Justin was actually my very first ring recovery I ever made as a member of “The Ring Finders.”

These rings were incredibly special — over 100 years old and originally purchased in Charlotte, North Carolina. Because of their age and history, they were truly irreplaceable in so many ways.

He contacted me, and I told him I could come out that same day to search for them.

After carefully scanning the entire backyard using a VDI range of 40–75 and not finding anything, I decided to adjust my settings to 35–65 and start again from the beginning. Within minutes, I got a signal reading VDI 37 and uncovered the first ring. About five feet away, I picked up another signal reading VDI 38 — the second ring!

Turns out I had simply missed them earlier because of my original settings.

Needless to say, the whole family was overjoyed. They had been praying and believing the rings would be found.

Her husband actually filmed the moment, and her reaction when the rings were returned was captured on video.

Moments like this are exactly why I love doing what I do — finding something so meaningful and getting it back where it belongs.

Vintage David Yurman Silver Ring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Mike was referred to me by fellow Ring Finder, Dave Milsted. He was working on snow clean up at a home outside Philadelphia during the recent storm. While working in the back alley behind the home he felt and heard his large, silver, vintage David Yurman ring fly off his finger. He looked for a while but it fell in the deep snow and a metal detector was needed for sure. I met him that afternoon and found the ring after a 10 minute search. Was very happy to be able to return Mike’s ring to him!

Beautiful Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wilmington, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Liz reached out me to 3-4 weeks ago after finding me in The Ring Finder Directory. It was after a huge snow storm dumped 18 inches of snow in the area. She told me her husband, Kevin, was out shoveling and messing around in the deep snow in their front yard when his large platinum wedding band disappeared. Kevin distinctly remembered the feeling that his ring flew off in the front yard while he was playing around in the deep snow. I came the next day after the storm moved out of the area. I spent 90 minutes searching the front yard of their home…but the snow was crazy deep and it was very difficult to effectively scan the area. After a good but futile effort to try to locate the ring we agreed I would come back after the snow melted. Well…3 weeks later I headed back. With another huge storm predicted to dump 18 inches of new snow tomorrow I figured I better get over there! I brought 2 metal detectors with me…one with a 15 inch coil that’s good for covering the grassy yard and another with a 6 inch coil which is good for looking under bushes and in tight spaces. I first started by scanning the entire grassy yard with the machine with the larger coil…no luck. I grabbed my other detector with the smaller coil and start checking under all the shrubs and bushes bordering the front yard and BOOM! I finally got the signal I was looking for…I looked down through the middle of a large bush and without even bending down I could see Kevin’s large shiny band sitting there underneath the bush. Kevin and LIz were both standing close by when I gave my fist pump victory sign! I believe Liz actually shed a few tears and the two of them were so full of joy to see the ring back on Kevin’s finger!

While I was searching for another ring lost on North Beach, I received a call from Carol who had lost her wedding ring in shallow water at South Beach on Honeymoon. Since I was so close, we met up in about five minutes and Carol told me that she and her niece Emma were visiting from Baltimore. After they had arrived at the beach, Carol had taken off her ring at the edge of the water to hand it to Emma to take back to where they had set their beach things. During the exchange, the ring dropped into the very shallow water and disappeared! I began my detecting search in the area where they thought the ring had dropped and by that time with the tide going out I was searching wet sand. After about 30 minutes, I had found and scooped out Carol’s beautiful ring!

Kyla contacted me while I was out of town to tell me that she had her ring come off of her finger while chasing down her cat in her back yard and she had been unable to locate it. When I returned, I searched the area in Kyla’s back yard where she thought the ring came off for about an hour with no luck. Then Kyla asked me to remove a board that was leaning on her shed and search behind it because it had been moved around during her search. When I did, Kyla was the first to see her ring nestled in the leaves! Who would have thought it would have ended up there? I should not be surprised!
