Lost Ring at a Construction Site in Woolwich NJ

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

 

Kevin called me after a friend of one of my successful recoveries referred me. He lost his 

titanium wedding band while at work. He was at a large construction project, working with moving sprinklers & hoses from different lots. It could be on 1 of 4 lots. We agreed on a 6:30 am time for the search.

I met Kevin at the construction site. It is a huge new housing development. He showed me the 4 properties that he was working on. The lots were not that large. I started on the 1st one, no luck. Moved to the second lot, strike 2. The third lot was the biggest, strike 3. But I was not out yet…

The fourth lot, about 5 minutes in, I finally got a good tone. Spread the grass from the newly laid sod, and there was Kevin’s ring. I took some pictures, then called Kevin to come to the 4th lot. He showed up about 5 minutes later. I asked him if there was any other place it might be, he went to the bed of his pickup and started looking there. I held up his ring while we continued to look. The look on his face when he realized that I was holding his ring was priceless. He explained that he was leaving the next day for vacation with his wife & kids to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. 

I asked him what his wife would say when she found out he had his ring back. He decided to FaceTime her while I was there. She couldn’t believe it when he held up the ring for her to see. I hope they had a GREAT vacation!

How to Find a Lost Ring in the Yard in Huntsville, Alabama

Contact:

Derrick texted me on Tuesday (April 14, 2026) stating he needed help finding his girlfriend’s (Rachel) rose gold ring with diamonds and a sapphire in Huntsville, AL.  I asked how the ring was lost.  Derrick replied that him and Rachel had gotten into a little argument, she took off the ring and handed it to him, and he tossed it towards the backyard.  This is definitely not the first and won’t be the last ring toss search I’ll receive.  It actually happens way more than people think, and I really appreciate their honesty.  It’s very important having all the fine details, because I can only find something if I’m searching in the right area.  I told Derrick that I’d be more than happy to help and that I could conduct a search when I was off from work on Friday or the weekend.

I met Derrick and Rachel on Friday morning at 9am.  I had Derrick stand in the same spot and do a couple of test throws.  Derrick felt it was just a light toss and Rachel thought he hurled it.  I decided to start searching past the chain link fence in the backyard by where the test rings landed.  Derrick and Rachel moved a trampoline out of the search area and I got to work.  I made a couple of grid line passes and was about to start checking the neighbor’s yard.  I decided to search the small strip of yard before the fence (where Derrick was standing) first, in case it was just a light toss; and sure enough, there was Rachel’s ring!  Woo-hoo, thank you, Lord!  It had only landed about 10 feet away.  Rachel and Derrick were so happy to have the ring back.  They both felt really bad about the toss; but hey, things happen.  We’re all human and sometimes we let emotions get the best of us.  Again, I just really appreciated them being honest with how the ring was lost.

We chatted about some of my prior searches for a few minutes before I headed home.  Until the next one, please take care and God bless!

LOST GOLD HEIRLOOM CLASS RING IN DURHAM, NC…..FOUND!!!

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

I received a text from a young man at Duke University. He stated he lost a family heirloom class ring. I told him I’d come out tonight and see if I could find it.

I get there and get the story. He was playing frisbee and threw it awkwardly when he felt the ring fly off but didn’t see where it landed.

I start my search and in about 20 mins I found the lost ring in the area of about where he felt it had to have landed. It was found based on the information provided.

I asked him if he could share the history of the ring.

This is a short story of the ring:

“The ring was from my great uncle’s high school graduation in 1953. He later became an army officer and passed away from his service before I was born (I was named after him).

It was then given to my uncle, who passed away, then to my dad who gave it to my sister, who passed it to me. It’s now been in our family for 73 years.”

I was so glad this one was found and returned! All ring recoveries are important, but the sentimental and heriloom ones are the most rewarding.

Kirkwood, Missouri Lost Platinum Ring

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

 

I was unloading bags of mulch from my truck bed. When I was taking a couple bags off my hand slipped and my wedding ring went flying. I didn’t see it flying in the air but heard it hit the deck to the side of the garage which has stairs that down one level. I could not tell if it was on top of the deck or side of the deck that the ring hit. But a heard a thud type sound and then the ring was gone. I looked around and could not see anything. I also borrowed a friend’s metal detector and could not find it. Jeremy came out and found it so fast I couldn’t believe it. Thank you so much!

Lost Wedding Ring – Found Wedding Ring near Marble Falls

Lost Diamond Wedding Ring Recovered at Camp near Marble Falls

Marble Falls, Texas — A cherished diamond wedding ring that went missing during a weekend at Camp has been successfully recovered, thanks to the professional metal detecting expertise of Chris Dean, a member of TheRingFinders.com.

Terri, who had been attending activities at the camp, realized her ring was missing. By carefully retracing her steps after reviewing photos that showed it on her finger earlier in the day, and absent later, she was able to narrow the search to a few specific locations within the camp.

After securing permission from camp officials, arrangements were made for a targeted search. Traveling approximately 350 miles, Terri and her husband met with Chris who also traveled to the Marble Falls from Kerrville. Chris determined the most likely location of the loss to be the camp’s volleyball court—an area that had already been searched unsuccessfully by the camp using basic equipment.

Within minutes of beginning the search, a signal from Chris’ Garrett AT Pro metal detector indicated a promising target. On the very first pass through the sand and after digging a single hole, the missing diamond wedding ring was recovered.

“When an item holds as much meaning as a wedding ring, every effort matters,” said the recovery specialist. “While luck played a role in the quick find, the successful recovery ultimately came down to experience, proper technique, and professional-grade equipment.”

This incident highlights the importance of using skilled professionals for valuable item recovery. Attempting to locate lost items with basic or rental equipment can often lead to missed opportunities.

For those facing similar situations, contacting an experienced metal detecting professional with TheRingFinders.com can make all the difference in recovering treasured possessions.

Lost Keys Recovered in Omaha, NE

Contact:

I was recently contacted by a client in Omaha, Nebraska who had lost his keys while working on a pipe installation project. The search area covered roughly 20 feet, and to make things more difficult, the keys had been buried under fresh mulch that had been spread earlier that day.

Before reaching out, he had already spent over 2 hours searching and digging with no success. At that point, he decided to call in a professional.

Because the keys were made of multiple types of metal and were partially buried under mulch, the detector did not produce a single clean signal. Instead, it gave broken, inconsistent readings that required careful, slow investigation of the area.

After about 45 minutes of patient, methodical searching, I was able to isolate the target and recover the missing keys, even with the added challenge of the mulch layer.

The relief on his face said it all—what started as a frustrating situation quickly turned into a successful recovery.

If you’ve lost keys, a ring, or any valuable metal item in Omaha or the surrounding areas, don’t hesitate to reach out. With the right equipment, experience, and persistence, many lost items can be recovered quickly and efficiently.

Ruby Earring: Recovered by Rob Ellis in McLean, VA.

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Amanda Smiles!

 

 

 

Amanda was doing yard work when her beautiful ruby earring went missing. The family searched to no avail. As they were getting ready to move, time was of the essence. She called me the next day, and we arranged a time to search. Some of the equipment I’ve invested in is very specialized for earrings, and I looked forward to the challenge.

Amanda showed me where she’d unloaded and carried bags of mulch. She logically assumed that shouldering the bags knocked off her earring. I used her matching earring to test my detectors. I was delighted it had enough gold, so I only needed my Minelab Equinox 900 with a small Coiltek coil.

I used a rope pattern to search the area where Amanda had been carrying bags.  Forty minutes later, I moved to the newly spread mulch. Within a few minutes, I found the earring backing near a bush by the front walkway. Close by, I discovered her earring! Thanks to Amanda’s clear memory and direction, the search and recovery took about an hour. Far less than the driving time!

I took a photo of the spot and called Amanda over with “I found it!”. Her expression said it all!!

 

For my fellow detectorists: Equinox 900 Target ID for this ruby earring= 8 to 9.

Rob Ellis: Metal Detector Expert… Call/text ASAP, (703)-598-1435

Don’t give up. Many of my clients have bought, borrowed, or rented a metal detector before calling me. Just because someone has a tool, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it. I use state of the art equipment, and I have thousands of hours of experience searching on land and underwater. If you have tried using a detector without success, please text/call to see if I can help.
