Mothers diamond ring, lost by daughter while spring gardening in chicago, recovered.

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

I received a message from a senior lady who had lost her mother’s ring while doing spring gardening cleanup in Chicago. I used my xp deus 1 to search the garden. She didn’t know how she had lost it, but assumed it came off when she took off her gloves. There were a lot of metal objects in the area. I found it next to a metal fence. The signal was very iffy, but I used my pinpointer to find it. It was buried under wood chips. The iffy signal may have been caused by the two tone gold and the diamonds along with the metal fence. Glad I was able to recover it for her.

ENGAGEMENT RING FOUND IN BATON ROUGE,LA-ONE DOWN ONE LEFT TO GO

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

 

 

Lauren called me around noon on a Tuesday. She had lost her engagement ring and wedding band on Sunday at an event called “Touch a Truck”. A wide variety of trucks, construction equipment, an ambulance, a helicopter, etc. were positioned in a large (over 3 acre) field for the inspection by adults and their children. Lauren and Corey took their young children to see and play on many of the exhibited vehicles. Starting out the adventure, Lauren placed her wedding rings in her pocket before applying sunscreen to the little ones. She also placed her phone in the same pocket. She took many photos of the kids, each time pulling the phone from her pocket. She noticed the rings missing when she returned to the car.

She sent me a map of the event and some photos she had taken. These photos would help me locate the areas where she had taken her phone out of her pocket. Carrie wasn’t feeling well, so I loaded up the equipment and took off alone. I decided first to go for pure luck and make passes the length of the field (600 feet) focusing more on sight than the detector since the area was very trashy with a very noisy detector. Also, the grass was short and not very dense. After a few passes I decided to check the photo and focus on where they were taken, and the phone removed from the pocket. One photo, which turned out to be the first one taken, showed a distinctive lone tree with a tree line behind it. From the photo I sectioned off a possible area where the photo was taken and hopefully the phone was removed from her pocket. I was making my turn to start the final pass in the hunt area and the engagement ring was sitting on top of the ground/grass in full view. I sent a photo to an ecstatic Lauren. Her husband Corey came out to collect the ring and help with analyzing the other photos to look for other hunt areas. After another 2 hours of hunting for the wedding band, I decided to call it a day and come back another time to continue the hunt. Thank you, Lauren, for the generous reward.

Shawn SGT Sherrill – Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Call/Text ASAP  Anytime 24/7   918-313-2202!

Got a call last night from this sweet lady. She had lost the ONLY thing she had from her mother, while doing yard work. Why is it the ONLY item? Because her dear mother had passed away when she was just 5. 😞
Story continues and gets more interesting….. Many YEARS later. Her father passed away at the age of 90 years old. He left a safety deposit box and this ring was inside. It was the first time she had seen it or even knew of its existence. Needless to say she was heartbroken! She looked for it for 2 days, but couldn’t find it. She finally took to the internet to search for help, found my page and reached out! I told her I’d be there first thing this morning. Drove the hour long trip, get there, got my gear and found this priceless heirloom in just 5 mins! She was so thrilled and couldn’t believe I found it so fast! She was full of joy to have her moms signet ring back!
I love putting a smile back on people’s faces after they’ve lost something so dear to them and irreplaceable!

Dmytro called me around 6 pm this evening requesting my service as he had just lost his wedding ring in a dealership parking lot  and could I help him find his ring. Lucky for Dmytro I was only 10 minutes away from him! I agreed to meet him there and for him not to move just in case somebody was walking around the parking lot.

I met up with Dmytro and he explaind that he took the floor mat out of his car and shook the snow off it,  then he took his glove off and thats when his ring fell off his finger and into a snow bank.   Within five minutes I found his ring and handed it back to him! Dmytro was very happy to have the ring back on his finger.  Thank you Dmytro for entrusting me to find your ring.

10k Gold Ring Lost @ Bus Stop! Kirkness Neighbourhood, Edmonton Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

  

Braden called me this moring requesting my service to find his 10k gold ring which he had just lost while at a bus stop. Braden told me he reached in his pocket to retrieve his bus pass and felt his ring slip off his finger.  Edmonton  had received 4 inches of snowfall  over night and I knew that the transit department sweeps the snow around the shelters shortly after. I asked Braden if it was cleaned and luckily it was not. I told Braden I would be there within the hour.
I met Braden at the bus stop and asked him to show me how he lost his ring so he took his had out of his pocket and said he felt the ring fly to the back of him into the snow bank.  I could see where he had been searching and with experience I had a feeling his ring had ended on the road so I began my search on the road. Bingo within five minute I had his ring back on his finger.
Thank you Braden for calling me.

Ring lost in El Cajon found

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

Brian was making an early morning delivery when, after jumping out of the back of his vehicle, he shook his hands in the cold and, in horror, saw his wedding ring fly off his hand, bounce twice on the concrete, and then shoot through a chain link fence overlooking a drop-off. He jumped the fence and looked for the ring, but, without success. He found TheRingFinders.com website online and my contact info. After a bit of phone tag, we made contact, and agreed to meet at the site. I got there a bit early and after some text/phone directions from Brian as to the search area, got started. Wow, what a place to detect! A steep slope, soft surface, and lots of metal junk everywhere. Normally, I would rather hunt at the bottom of a steep slope, but, not this time. There was all kinds of metal trash at the bottom along with another chain link fence. I started on the lower section of the slope and gridded my way toward the top hoping it was still just on the surface somewhere. Brian helped with removing dead branches and other metal debris while we both struggled to stay on the slope. More than once we both ended up involuntarily sliding down that slippery slope. After making it all the way to the top and next to the fence the ring passed through, I was faced with detecting the very bottom next to the neighboring metal fence. Moving slowly and picking through the trash, I investigate numerous targets while hearing the fence “talk” to me. I got close to 3/4 the way to the end of the search area, when I got another 14 foil/pull tab type reading I’d been getting numerous times over the last hour. This time, it was his ring, a few inches down in the leaves, loose dirt, and grass that covered that area from our eroding that slope with our search efforts. Brian was happy to have his original ring back to continue it’s story instead of having to get a replacement. A pleasure to meet you Brian and thank you for the reward.

Ring lost in Alpine Found

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

April contacted me yesterday asking if I could travel to Alpine, Ca. to search for a lost wedding ring. Sure I could! We made arrangements to meet today at 1pm to conduct the search. It seems that after dark the night before, in a momentary fit of pique, she threw the ring across the street from her house toward the front yard of a neighbor. She shortly regretted her actions, and with her husband, searched for hours with an inexpensive metal detector without success. After getting the description and likely area where the ring should have landed, I started a grid search in the ice plant with my Equinox, while my wife did a visual search along the street, sidewalk and yard area. After a little over 15 minutes and several pieces of foil later, I got a good signal in the ice plant right next to a bush. I pulled some of the surface branches aside and ran my pin pointer down inside. Just as I received a signal, I could just see the beautiful white gold engagement/wedding ring. My wife went back across the street to give them the good news. After showing them where the ring ended up, I removed it from it’s hiding place and handed it to a happy April. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Bracelet lost at Mission Beach Found

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

Meridith was playing volleyball and after hitting the ball, her special bracelet came off and disappeared into the fluffy dry sand. She found TheRingFinders.com online and my contact info. When she called, my wife and I were at a wedding, so, we made arrangements to meet at the site later that night at 9pm. Meridith had only been playing on one side of the court, so, this should be a quick and easy find……that is, until I found out the bracelet doesn’t have any large segments on it and was a very fine, small linked chain. These volleyball courts are detected quite often, so, there shouldn’t been much in the way of targets. I found that to be true and as expected. I started a grid and didn’t get a single target until about half way through the court. I got the weakest, mixed ferrous/non-ferrous signal, one I would normally not even investigate if I were just detecting for fun, but, I couldn’t pass this up since it was my only signal so far. My pin pointer didn’t even hit on it very well, so, it took a few tries to zero in on the target. In pulling up a handful of sand Meridith and I both saw a chain hanging out of my hand. Success! A pleasure to meet you Meridith and thank you for the reward.

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

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Received a late night text from Pedro seeking help in finding his recently lost rose gold wedding band. In speaking with Pedro the following morning he shared that he suffered a sleepless night thinking of his lost band which had disappeared off his finger the day before. We had a big snowstorm in Philadelphia Friday night and the next day Pedro and his wife, Bruna, went for a little adventure in the snowy park nearby. He shared with me that his ring was only 10 months old….a little  loose and he had just put moisturizer on his hands prior to leaving for the park. While at the park he removed his gloves at different times to take pictures with his phone. He did not realize his ring was missing off his hand till later that evening at home.

I agreed to meet them with my metal detector at the park Sunday morning. Here is the good news…Pedro had a pretty good idea as to the areas where they stopped and he took off his gloves to take pictures…he also told me his wife wears the exact ring as him(maybe a little smaller) enabling me to scan it and set up my detector to zero in on it. Here is the bad news….huge park…big crowds…and they covered quite a bit of ground on their walk. When I got to the park I was a little intimidated by the size of the search area…but my experience always tells me to start at the end of the walk and/or where they feel they most likely lost and work toward the beginning. I firstly had Bruna put her identical ring on the ground and demonstrated to them that if they put me over the lost one I will definitely pick it up with my machine…I was also able to eliminate signals from all other metals. We then proceeded to walk a 1/4 mile through the park to the very end of their adventure where they stopped to make a snowman and Pedro took pictures. It was the most amazing thing….while I had a little bit of a feeling that I was  searching for a needle in a haystack I also felt good about the strategy to start searching where I did. I started to detect around the area where they built the snowman and was on my 4th pass when I got a good signal on my machine….I looked down and there was a gold rim just breaking the surface of snow! I couldn’t believe it…don’t think I even searched 10 minutes! I didn’t even bend down… I looked at Bruna and Pedro and smiled. They both said no way! I called Pedro over and pointed at the snow…I think us Ring Finders live for this moment! To say they were surprised and excited would be an understatement. They were such a nice couple…it brought me such great joy to be able to come trough for them. They will be heading back to Brazil next year…its cool that I was able to provide such a great and interesting memory from there time here!

Ring lost at Coronado found

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

Gabby and her boyfriend were here in town visiting and spent the afternoon at the beach in Coronado. After watching the sunset, they started walking off a sand dune and toward the street. Gabby made a sweeping motion with her hand and her gold pinky ring flew off and into the soft sand. They looked for a while and realized they were going to need help locating the ring. A quick internet search brought her to TheRingFinders.com website and my contact information. I soon met them at the location and got the story on how the ring was lost and it’s probable location. I started a grid search and found tons of signals in the expected range of her gold ring, but, all these signal were turning out to be junk. After not finding the ring initially, I asked for the most likely area to start and changed methods. I then started an expanding circle around that spot and within a few minutes, I had Gabby’s ring in my scoop. A pleasure meeting you and thanks for the reward.
