His & Hers Platinum Wedding bands Lost, Recovered and Returned in Villanova, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Thanks to fellow Ring Finder, John Favano, for the referral! Jerry reached out to me after losing his beautiful platinum wedding band while playing in the snow in the front yard of his Villanova, PA home. After searching for several hours on his hands and knees in the fresh snow he thought he would try to get a better idea of what the ring would look like in the snow….so….yeah….he borrowed his wife’s matching wedding band and threw that down. As you can guess….he immediately lost that one too! After several more hours of searching with rakes and shovels he finally surrendered and got in touch with a professional. He lost them on a Sunday….I was there with my metal detector Monday afternoon. Within 3 minutes total….I had recovered both rings! Jerry told me he briefly considered renting or purchasing a metal detector before calling me. I told him of the countless times I get the called after people buy or rent machine in an effort to find themselves…I told him the experience of the guy using the machine is more important than the machine itself! I was very happy to reunite Jerry and his wife with their beautiful rings!

LOST DIAMOND RING IN SAINT MARTINVILLE, LA – FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Charissa was trying to get her cat out of a tree in her back yard. Shaking a branch did not work so she climbed in the tree and finally was successful. After getting back on the ground, she realized her diamond ring was not on her finger. She looked for it around the tree without luck. We then got the call for help. We had her describe where she had walked in the yard and climbed in the tree before she noticed the ring was gone. We hunted the area for about a half hour before Carrie found it. The odd thing was, we both had searched that area before Carrie located it. The area was where she had held onto a small branch and shook it in an attempt to scare the cat. As hard as it is to imagine, did the ring get stuck on that branch and fall after we had both made a first pass through that area? Either that or we’re really not that good.

Lake St.Louis Lost Wedding Band

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)

I was cleaning the gutters, not wearing gloves (lesson learned) and as I threw the debris, my wedding ring slid off my finger and went with the debris into an area of Ivey. In that environment, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Jeremy Roth of Ringfinders to the rescue. He found the ring along with a few other items overgrown by the ivey. Just in time to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary!

LOST 18K GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN SALISBURY, NC…..FOUND!!!!

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

This young man called me up saying he lost his wife’s 18k gold engagement ring! I’m thinking to myself, “HOW DID YOU LOSE IT?!?” I said ok tell me what happend..

Story goes, It was getting dark, they were on a walk enjoying spending time together. It was cold, they were horsing around and she was afraid of losing her ring so she takes it off and puts it on her thumb to slid it into her husband’s shirt pocket for “SAFE KEEPING”!! A few mins later he did something to cause her to chase him and he stumbles and falls down a slope. He didn’t think anything about it until he realized he lost his watch. Then he checked his shirt pocket, and his heart sank, the ring wasn’t there!!!!

He called me up and I shot over in the dark. He wasn’t 100% sure where he fell so I was scanning about 50 yards of possibilities. Lots if signales and sadly I didn’t find it that night. I advised him to try and find his watch during the day and to try and narrow the search area a little.

The next day he goes back to site and finds his watch. It was just about dark again and rain was coming in on Saturday. So I told him I’ll be there first thing Sunday morning!

I arrive, get my gear and we walk over to where he found his watch. I set my machine to 40-61 range, because the ring looked very thin. I didn’t find it, so I changed my range to VDI 40-72. BOOM! Got a 62 and there it was just under some dirt!!!

I love helping people find lost items! It makes my heart happy and to see the joy, happiness and relief on their face!

LOST HEIRLOOM / 14K ENGAGEMENT GOLD RING LOST IN TAYLORSVILLE, NC……FOUND!!!

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

Received a call today from a young lady who asked about my ring recovery services. After a few mins of going over the details, she agreed she wanted me to come out and try to find her 14k engagement ring.

She lost her ring while doing some yardwork about four months prior to calling me. She provided me her address and said they wouldn’t be home. I advised her I will go and if found, I will put it in a secure location and send her the details.

I drive an hour and forty-five mins to get to her house. Set up my machine to locate the ring in the range it should have been in. VDI 40-65 on the Deus 2. After about an hour I get a VDI 48 and dig down about 2-3 inches and I see the beautiful gold roundness that I had been hoping for!!

After I sent her the pictures to confirm I had found it, she proceeds to tell me that not only had it been lost for 4 months, but it was also her husband’s Great Grandmothers ring!!! 😱😱😱 A priceless family heirloom that means a lot more than just a symbol of their love.

I love what I do, because of happy stories just like this that makes me hate even more the ones I can’t find!

Rent a metal detector in Lawrence, New York – Another Ring Found in the Snow… Well, Almost ❄️💍

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)

Another Ring Found in the Snow… Well, Almost ❄️💍

Last night I received a text from Rav — and you could feel the stress through the phone. He was supposed to be leaving Wednesday on vacation with his new fiancée, but there was a problem: his engagement ring had vanished while shoveling snow in the large front yard of his home in Lawrence, New York.

Snow, cold, metal gloves — never a good combination.

Rav had a few spots where he knew the ring could be. Those were my first targets. I carefully scanned each area… once… twice… three times. Nothing. Not even a hopeful beep. At that point, I’ll admit it — I was starting to think this one might turn into a waiting game until the snow melted.

Just as I was about to regroup, I suddenly heard Rav yell out,

“I FOUND IT!”

I turned around to see him standing in the driveway, holding the ring. It turns out that while using the snowblower, he had taken his gloves off right there — and that’s when the ring slipped off. The snow hid it perfectly until the light hit it just right. He spotted the glimmer and picked it up himself.

The relief on his face said everything.

Even though Rav was technically the one who found the ring, he still insisted on paying my full reward. His reasoning? Process of elimination. Since the ring wasn’t in any of the areas I had searched, it had to be somewhere else — and my being there led him to the answer. I only accepted a partial reward.

The truth is, if he had waited until Friday, when the temperature was supposed to hit 55° and the snow melted, the ring probably would’ve surfaced on its own — but by then it could’ve been crushed, bent, or damaged by cars in the driveway. And most importantly, Rav didn’t want to leave for his trip with that stress hanging over him.

As he kept saying,

“If you weren’t here, I never would’ve found it.”

That’s a win in my book — and another happy ending just in time for a vacation and a fresh start.

Wedding Ring Lost In the Snow, Monroe NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Jersey Shore Ring Finder

Kinjal reached out to see if I could help locate her husband’s lost ring. We had just experienced an early season snowstorm that ended around 11 AM and her husband decided to shovel the driveway and clear off their cars before the temperatures dropped into the single digits, which would freeze everything solid. Unfortunately, he wasn’t wearing gloves, and with the ice-cold snow on his hands, the ring easily slipped off.

She explained that a neighbor had loaned them a pinpointer, but despite hours of searching, they had no luck. They had even ordered a metal detector, but it wasn’t going to arrive until the next day. After hearing the situation, I told her I could come right away and asked her to send over the address. I gave her my ETA after I loaded up my gear and was on the road.

I started searching along one side of the driveway, picking up several signals, but none turned out to be the ring. I then moved to the area by the mailbox but still had no luck. Finally, I focused on the other side of the driveway. Just a few feet in, I got a strong signal that seemed promising. Using my pinpointer, I cleared a bit of snow, and the device started beeping like crazy. I reached down, scooped up a handful of snow, and there it was—the ring right in the middle!

Kinjal and her husband were incredibly grateful. As always, it felt great to help them recover something with great sentimental meaning.

Beautiful Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in West Chester, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

I was completing my 2nd ring finder mission of the day when I received a text from Jim regarding a lost platinum wedding band. It just so happens I was 15 minutes down the road successfully helping another gentlemen with his lost band…so i headed in his direction. Upon arrival Jim took me to his backyard and explained that he was playing/wrestling with his dogs when his ring came up missing. He suggested an area where he felt it most likely fell off….but couldn’t rule out any area in the large yard. As I always do I started scanning with my metal detector the most likely area the ring was lost. From 40 years of metal detecting I know that a ring on the surface has a very dramatic/unique signal on a metal detector…so I was hyper focused on hearing just that signal. I also calibrated my machine for just a gold/platinum ring. 3 minutes into the search….the signal I was looking for blew my ears off! It was 3 inches down in the deep grass and invisible to my eyes…but I knew it was there. I got out my ponpointer…dug around….and there it was! I was very happy to be able to return Jim’s ring to him…his smile as I handed his ring to him makes being a busy ring finder the best thing in the world!
