Tungsten ring, Missing for 12 years, found in Popular Grove Il

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

About a year ago I was out metal detecting the site of a 1870s school house that is now just ag land. While I was out there a gentleman named Jim stopped and we started talking about the local history. He goes on to tell me that 12 years or more ago while having a party and bonfire one of thier guests lost his wedding band in the pasture. He asked if I’d be willing to come look for it. I said, “Sure!” and gave him my card and told him to call me whenever was a good time. So, out of the blue I received a call from Jim on Wednesday 10-28. He reminded me of our conversation and asked if I was still willing to come take a look for the missing ring. I told him I’d be glad to come take a look. Since it was getting dark already we made plans to meet the following day after I got off of work. When I arrived Jim took us back to the pasture where it was thought to be lost. We started a grid pattern 90° to each other. Jen was going north and south and I was going east and west. It took about 20 or 25 minutes but after lots of melted aluminum I got a beautiful solid 72-73 double tapping signal on the DĒUS II. I dug a plug and chased down the signal with my pinpointer and BOOM! There it was!! We thought that the ring was made out of gold, so it being made of tungsten carbide threw me off for a second.  But after a quick phone call we confirmed it was definitely the right ring!!!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!!

Wedding band lost and found in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Debbie was throwing the ball for her dog when she thought she lost ring that was in her pocket.She had placed her rings in her pocket earlier and put her phone in her phone in the same pocket. She thought she may have pulled it out while pulling her phone out. After over an hour of searching the yard, we decided to look inside the house. While my partner Jeff was searching inside I decided to look one more time outside. Right outside the door is a sitting area, as I looked around the bench I saw it laying on the outdoor rug. They were so happy to have it found but were jogging their memory as to how it got there. At one moment she sat down and they thought it fell out at that point. Always important to trace every step!

Ring lost in Lakewood yard recovered

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:
This past weekend Chloe was throwing a tennis ball for her dog Jelly when her beloved ring slid off her finger. She spent several hours searching for the ring, even purchasing a metal detector to do so. After searching with the detector for a couple of hours she got frustrated and gave up.
Chloe contacted me this morning, told me of her situation. We set a time for myself and Stephanie to come and perform a search.
We reached Chloe’s house, looked over the back yard and then began our search. We searched for a few minutes when I heard a signal amongst some flowers and plants. I looked down and could see a bit of a gold band shining up at me. Chloe was very excited to see her ring once again.

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Andrew was horsing around with his dog in the backyard of his Aston, PA home when he felt his tantalum wedding band fly off his finger. He searched for quite a bit but came to conclusion it would be hard to locate in the tall grass. He found me in the Ring Finder Directory and I met him at his home the next day. After he described how and where the ring went missing…I joked to him I would find it in 3 minutes…well it took 4 minutes! I was happy to be able to find and return Andrew’s ring to him!!!

Beautiful Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Downingtown, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Nick was visiting his in-laws in Downingtown, PA when, after a short dog walk, his ring came up missing. He was 100% sure the 4-month old ring was on his finger at the start of the walk…and noticed it missing before he stepped back in the house. He went crazy searching for it…even purchased a cheap metal detector. After 2-3 days of searching he finally reached out to a pro and found me in the Ring Finder Directory. Since I live in the same town I was there in a few hours. After a 15-20 minute search I was happy to find and return his ring to him!

LOST PLATINUM WEDDING SET IN GREENSBORO, NC…..FOUND!!!!

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

I received a text from a sweet lady that lost both her rings while cleaning up acorns in her backyard.

She was putting them into a roadside trash bin and realized later that her rings were missing. She dumped out one bin and checked and didn’t see them or find them with a friends metal detector. I scanned that first then I scanned the backyard and didn’t find them.

Then she mentioned the other trash bin, so I pulled it over and dumped it out on the tarp with the other acorns I had already scanned and I got a hit. First I found the diamond ring and quickly scanned again and there was the wedding band just a few inches away.

She mentioned her late husband had lost his gold ring in the yard somewhere so I asked if I could try and find it. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get over it. She wasn’t sure where he was or what he was doing when he lost it.

Platinum wedding band lost, recovered, and returned in Rockton, Illinois.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

I received a text message from Charles a few days ago. He said he was in his backyard playing football with his daughters on Saturday when he noticed that his platinum wedding band was missing! He figured before going out and buying a metal detector, he’d give a professional from TheRingFinders.com a shot at finding it first. (Smart move) So, Charles and I made plans to meet on Monday after work. When I arrived Charles took me into the backyard and showed me where they were playing football 🏈 on Saturday and the suspected area. So I did a typical grid search. Working from right to left. On my 5th pass I heard what I was waiting for! A nice double tapping low tone! A solid 62 VDI on the DĒUS II! It only took me about 25 mins or less to find it. But, there it was! Tucked under the plush grass and hidden out of plain sight!

Beautiful ring!

 

And… another smile for the book!!

Ring lost at Mission Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Bailey was visiting here in town and spent the day at the beach. She took her rings off and set them on her blanket. Later, when she picked up the blanket, the forgotten rings ended up in the sand. One was particularly sentimental that she REALLY wanted back. An online search brought her to my information and a call for help. We met at the beach a half hour later where she used a video taken earlier to help zero in on the search area. After a few passes, I got a mid tone that was neither a great silver sound nor a great gold sound. No matter, it was going to be scooped anyway. Lo and behold it was both rings hooked together giving me that odd reading. A very happy Bailey can now enjoy the rest of her stay and a more pleasant trip back home. A pleasure to meet you and thanks for the reward.
