Lost Cartier Bracelet Found in Sandy Springs, Georgia!

  • from Marietta (Georgia, United States)

I received a call from Brandon after his wife, Nicole, lost her beautiful Cartier bracelet while walking their dog. Apparently, their dog decided it was time for an adventure! Nicole chased him down a wooded ravine, across a creek, up a hillside around some huge oak trees, and eventually back home. Once the dog was safely inside, she realized her bracelet was missing!

I arrived the next day, and with Nicole and Brandon’s help, we retraced her approximately 100-yard chase through the woods. Nicole had a hunch she’d lost it near the big oak trees, so that’s where I concentrated my search.

The ground was covered with leaves, pine needles, and plenty of debris. I began working a grid pattern with my Minelab Manticore metal detector, slowly searching the hillside and ravine.

About an hour and 20 minutes into the search, I heard that familiar low tone I was hoping for. I looked down, and there it was — just a tiny piece of the bracelet sticking out from beneath the leaves! It appeared to have flown off her wrist like a Frisbee and buried itself in the leafy ground cover.

BINGO! We found it!

Nicole and Brandon were thrilled, and I couldn’t have asked for nicer people to work with. Their help retracing the route made all the difference.

Finding lost treasures is exciting, but returning them to their owners is the best part of all!

Ring lost at Hugh Taylor birch Birch State Park park on the beach. I got a call and rushed to the park/ beach . I was not having any luck finding the 18 karat gold men’s wedding band . Not even a target. Very frustrating. Until Bruno told me that he searched thru and moved a lot of sand . I then expanded my search area and found the ring.

  • from Fort Lauderdale (Florida, United States)

I got a call from Bruno that he lost a 18 karat gold ring on the Fort Lauderdale beach in front of Hugh Taylor birch State Park. I wasn’t having any luck until he told me that he had moved a lot of sand. I then expanded the search area and found it . He was very very happy. Please read his testimonial below.

 

Craig was fantastic! I hired him to come to Fort Lauderdale Beach with his metal detector after losing my wedding gold ring in the sand. He was incredibly kind, responsive, professional, and dedicated to helping me find it. He did an excellent job, and thanks to his efforts, I got my ring back! I highly recommend Craig to anyone who needs help finding something valuable. Thank you, Craig!

LOST PISTOL NEAR ELIZABETHTOWN, NC….FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call that a gentleman had lost his pistol after hunting, laying it on the hood of his truck and driving off.

After taking a curve, he heard it slide off and hit the road. He tried going back to find but was unsuccessful.

We agreed I’d meet up with him Saturday afternoon and try and find it for him.

I get there and walked about 400 yards on one side and almost 400 yards back on the opposite side when he found his lower. About 10 feet up I found the upper and part of his holster and he found a bullet.

I think when it hit it got damaged some,  I feel it got ran over too. Nether the less, it’s found and he doesn’t have to worry about someone else having it.

Men’s Tungsten Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Doylestown, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Matt was doing some tasks in the backyard of his townhome in Doylestown, PA when he felt(and sort of saw!) his tungsten wedding band fly off his finger. It happened to be his 5 year wedding anniversary so it was awesome to see how motivated he was to get it back on his finger! Unfortunately after hours of searching he just couldn’t locate it. He had a good sense of the area of where it likely flew…but the grass was deep and he wasn’t sure exactly how far it could have flown through the air. He found me in The Ring Finders directory and I met him the next day.  After Matt reenacted the action that caused his ring to fall off I went to work…confident it would be a short 5-10 minute search. Well after about 30 minutes of searching a pretty large area…we were both stumped. No ring. I told him I was going to give it one more pass and maybe head in the opposite direction of where he thought if flew through the air. 5 minutes later I finally got the signal on my metal detector I was hoping for…and BOOM…I bent down and pushed the deep grass to the side to reveal his beautiful wedding band. We both howled a victory scream and high fived! I was crazy happy to be able to find this ring for this nice couple!

Bob was walking his dogs in the city dog park. It was a cold and windy day. Half way through the walk he realized his gold ring was missing. He looked for it, even went back with a flashlight in the dark hoping to see it glisten. He heard about me through an aquantice and we met out there the following day. We walked the area and he showed me path he used that it should be by. As we got back to my van to get my detector, a gentleman came through the gate and saw my ring mobile and asked us if we were looking for a ring. Well yes we answered and he held up a ring that he had just found a couple minutes ago within the area Bob had said it was lost. WOW, what are the chances of timing like this.

 

 

 

LOST IPHONE IN POND NEAR GREENSBORO, NC….FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Alex texted me saying his wife had dropped her cellphone in their family pond while kayaking and asked if I’d be able to come out and try and find it.

Well, not going to lie, after the recent cold snaps I was very hesitant to say yes. I told him as long as it wasn’t over my head I was willing to try.

Alex said the water was chilly and that it was about chest deep water and he had a Life360 last location spot where they think it went into the water.

I told him I would head there after work today and try to fish it out.

I arrive, we jump in a canoe and kayak and paddle across the pond to the spot. I parked the canoe on the edge so I could just walk out to the spot.

About 10 mins later I got a loud can hit and was able to use my feet to push it into my scoop.

Lost gold and diamond Claddagh ring found in Chester NJ!

  • from Hackettstown (New Jersey, United States)

Received a call yesterday from a woman whose husband lost his beautiful gold Claddagh wedding band in the woods while raking and dumping leaves at their home in Chester, NJ. It was a challenge — lots of dumped brush piles and leaves — but it was also a success. The ring is heavy and really something special and is now back on the finger of its owner!

Fathers ashes ring recovered

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was contacted a while back by a gentleman who had lost a very special ring which had been inlaid with  has late fathers ashes in what I presume was a type of resin or mineral.

The gentleman has been carrying out extensive work in his garden which was, lets say in a bit of a state, with debris and trash contaminating the site. There was also remnants of a recent large fire as an area of decking had been removed, so lots of screws and fixings also.

I knew this would be a challenge just by the amount of iron and drinks can remnants in the garden. Maybe because the property was on an approach to a local school.

I rarely use any discrimination while detecting , but this time it was necessary due to the amount of iron.

I was very thorough in my search, going over the entire garden several times over a few hours, so I was getting to thinking this ring wasn’t going to be found, or wasn’t even there.

I then spotted a pebble placed in a flower pot that had been painted with memorial message about his late father. Within a few minutes of seeing the pebble I received a nice clear tone that needed investigating. There it was, pressed into the soft ground, a lovely gold ring with the very special green inlay.

The owner was very pleased to be reunited with this ring, as I was to have recovered it.

 

Lost Car Keys Found Along US 421 – Lewisville, NC

  • from Winston-Salem (North Carolina, United States)

Tuesday evening, I was forwarded a message from a family who had lost their car keys. They had set the keys on top of the car while securing their young son in his seat, and didn’t realize they were missing until they arrived home, a county away. They had eaten dinner at a local restaurant earlier that evening, so the keys could have fallen anywhere along the way.

I reached out for more details. I didn’t hear back, but the area was a short drive and there was no traffic at that hour, so I went out to look. Unfortunately, I couldn’t locate the keys that night.

Meanwhile, the husband had returned to the restaurant around 9:00 PM. With a flashlight, he walked the roughly one mile to the highway and searched the on-ramp to US 421 before heading home.

This morning I received more details, and my commute to Wilkes county took me the same direction. Entering the highway, I carefully scanned the roadway and the right shoulder. I found the keys six miles from the restaurant, about 200 yards past the Williams road on-ramp on the right side of the road.

The husband came to my office to pick them up. He told me he had first thought I might be a scammer trying to get money out of them, but seeing my photo put that worry to rest. He also said the dealership had quoted a very high price for replacement keys, plus a tow fee and glad to get the keys back.

The family was very thankful, and I was glad to help, especially since I was already in the area.
