Lost Hearing Aid Found – Raleigh

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

I got a call from Don, a nice gentleman who had lost a hearing aid while working outside on his property. I said I’d be happy to come out and see if I could find it for him — I then checked the property on Google Maps. Holy Cow! Don’s property was about 8 1/2 acres! (I could search for days and not cover it all.) Don met me when I arrived and explained that he knew exactly where the hearing aid had gotten lost. He’d been pruning a bush and when he turned his body, a branch snagged the little wire that connects the “in-your-ear” part of the hearing aid with the “behind-your-ear” part. He felt it come off and after checking his ear, was positive he had the location nailed down. He put a little landscaping flag in the ground so I could search in the correct spot. The most likely scenario was that the hearing aid had been “launched” by the branch into the bush he’d been trimming, so that’s where I started my search. Using two different detectors, I spent probably 20 minutes covering that bush top to bottom and side to side — no luck. I turned to back out a little bit and widen my search, when I saw the hearing aid caught on a branch, most probably the branch that plucked it out of his ear in the first place.

I took the hearing aid over to Don who was extremely happy that he didn’t have to buy a replacement (if you don’t wear hearing aids, you may not know – these things are not cheap!). It’s usually about putting a ring back on a finger, a necklace back around a neck, or a bracelet back on a wrist, so putting a hearing aid back in an ear was a first for me! Another happy ending!

Lost Heirloom Gold Necklace Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders Metal Detector Service – Emerald Isle, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Morgan was spending time with his family in Emerald Isle.  While on the beach, Morgan decided to go surfing with his brother and removed his necklace before heading out into the surf.  Upon returning, he had forgot about the necklace and packed up quickly and left the beach.  Morgan stated he and 12 other people searched for 3 hours that same evening and he came back the following morning to search for 2 additional hours and could not find his lost heirloom necklace.  Morgan reached out to me later that morning and I arrived shortly afterwards to meet Morgan’s father.  Morgan needed to get back home (out of town) and his father showed me the search area on the beach.  It took me less than 30 minutes to pull Morgan’s lost necklace from the high tide line of the beach.  This was a very memorable recovery and everyone involved was so thankful.  (Morgan’s father in the recovery photo)

Gold Necklace Pendant Lost From Broken Chain Found In Pine Knoll Shores, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Jim was walking along a wooden pathway near the Pine Knoll Shores coastline and stopped to stretch his aching back.  While bending over the railing to stretch out his muscles.  As he raised up, his gold necklace snagged part of the railing.  This caused his sentimental gold cross to fall about ten feet into the shrubbery and sand below.  Jim had a couple of guys go in and look for the missing cross unfortunately, they were unsuccessful.  One of the nice gentlemen, reached out to Crystal Coast Ring Finders to see if a metal detector would locate the lost gold.

Because of scheduling conflicts and weather conditions, the search was postponed for a few days.  I met Jim in the morning and he showed me the location.  This was a difficult area to even squeeze into for searching and once I arrived below the railing, I began my search using my metal detector as well as my Garrett hand held pinpointer.  I came across many nails, screws and some fencing wire during the search and eventually worked my way down hill to where the men, who searched previously before me,  had worked some of the sand into a pile.  This was below the obvious area just below the railing.  A few passes with my detector showed more nails and then a very good signal.   After I grabbed a handful of the sand & debris, I spotted a very dirty golden cross in the pile.  I met Jim at my truck and he declined having his picture taken so you see a picture of me after a very dirty, sweaty search.

Ring lost at Coronado found

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

Aaron called me saying that his fiancee Katie lost her engagement ring in the dry sand. She had removed it to apply some lotion, set it in her hat, and in the process of them setting up the umbrella and blanket, the ring ended up missing. Later, they had also moved to another location in the wet sand 80 feet away, so, it could be there also. I started in the dry sand which was the most likely. Aaron pointed out the original spot where they had the umbrella planted, so, I started just to the side of that. First pass, nothing, but, two thirds of the way back on the second pass, I got the sweet sound that rang up a solid 25 on my Equinox 900. Poked the pin pointer into the sand and pulled out a beautiful gold ring. A tearful Katie was so happy to have her precious love token back again. A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.

LOST WEDDING RING IN GREENSBORO, NC POND……FOUND!!!

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

Received a text from a lady that said her husband of 51 years had lost his wedding ring at a small lake/pond while fishing with his grandkids.

As he was reaching to get a bobber he slipped and fell into the water. That’s when his ring slid off and he lost his cell phone in the process too. He found the cell but couldn’t find the ring. He also said a buddy of his tried to find it with his metal detector but since they didn’t come up with it, he thought it had to have gone deeper in the water/further out from the bank. Oh and the bank was made up of rip raft rock so that made it a bit more of a challenge.

I started scanning the rocks hoping they missed it and I wouldn’t need to get wet. I even scanned the waters edge before getting wet. I didn’t come up with a signal.

So I decided I had to get wet! I realized that I had forgot my weight belt, so fortunately they had two 10lbs weights that I was able to feed my belt through to hold me down, so i could scan the 3-5 feet water about 3-7 feet out.

After 4 hours of all that, I decided to scan the waters edge again (made like the 4th-5th time I had scanned this area between my two set ups)! I get a hit and I tell the gentleman, “I AM NOT SURE HOW I MISSED THIS SIGNAL LAST 3-5 TIMES!”

I grab my pinpointer, get near the waters edge and come up with a big GOLD RING!!! It had been less than a foot off the bank (where he lost his phone) and about 8 inches of water! UGH! Glad i found it but, well you know! Lol

We walk back to the house, his wife didn’t know I had found it yet. We go into the house and I say, “WELL WE GAVE IT A GOOD SHOT, BUT ALL FOUND WAS THIS GOLD THING!”

The transition from sadness/disappointment to literly tears of joy was priceless!! She comes up to me to take the ring and gave me a big hug, keep in mind im still soaking wet! She said I don’t care! Then she turned to her husband, they hugged and both cried a little more!

This is why I do this and what I live for/love to experience!

Lost and found necklace on Miami Beach

  • from Miami (Florida, United States)
Contact:

If you just lost an any type of jewelry in the South Florida area, whether it’s on the beach, in the water, or backyard, give me a call/text Louis 608-1870.  I have a metal detecting service and can come out and find your lost item.  In the pictures below it shows a night time recovery of a very sentimental necklace and Star of David medallion that was lost in the ocean in Miami Beach.  It was passed down from his grandfather who was a Holocaust survivor.  I can usually recover lost items pretty quick but the surf was rough and the search area was pretty big. Right when night time was settling in I got a tone on my detector and up came his necklace.  He was so grateful.  If this happens to you, don’t wait, give me a call.

LOST PLATNIUM ENGAGEMENT RING IN CAMDEN, SC…..FOUND!!!!!

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

Received a call Wednesday from a gentleman who’s wife had lost her engagement ring while they were out fishing.

They had rented a boat to enjoy spending some quality time fishing together. Just before they were to be putting things away to start heading back, She caought a big catfish and lost her engagement ring mins after the photo was taken. She actually had lost both wedding and engagement but the wedding ring fell in the boat while the engagement feel in about 3-4 feet of water. He tried jumping into the cold water to see if he could save his wife’s ring but sadly with no success. She was understandablly so upset and have been crying.

Thats where I come into the picture. I had to prepare my boat, get my gear ready as I had to plan for a 2.5 hour drive 1-way along with having to cross from the boat ramp side to the other side of the lake to the spot where she lost the ring.

I arrived at 10:00 am, he arrived at about 10:40 and we made the boat ride to the other side. We started where he was pretty confident where she lost it. After a few pulltabs, can pieces, and 2 hours later, I get a good signal that sounds right on top as it should be! After a few scoops I see a platinum diamond ring in the basket!!! By 12:30 ish the ring had been returned. Had to wait for him to get home before he could take a picture of his wife and her happiness!

He told me, “This was so worth it to help my wife stop crying!”

I love helping people find their lost priceless items!!

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Media, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Ron texted me after finding me in the Ring Finders Directory. He was doing some yard work at his home in Media, PA when his 45 year old gold wedding band slipped off his finger. He was 85% sure it fell off in his backyard. He had searched himself for 2-3 hours before calling a professional. I agreed to meet him the next day and upon my arrival he walked me through the area where he thought in fell off. A gold wedding band on the surface has a very unique signal…I also have the ability to zero in my machine on just gold signals. It was quite a large search area…but I started in the area where he spent the most time. 3-4 minutes into the search I received the signal I was hoping for…looked down…and there was his beautiful gold wedding band shining up at me!!! I called Ron  over and to say he was amazed and happy would be an understatement! I was so happy I was able to get his ring back on his finger!!!
