Ring lost, found and returned in Newton, MA

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

My wife and I were just home from a mini getaway. When I received a call from Leighton, another Ring Finder asking me if I could help in a ring search as he was unable to do a search the next day. Definitely I can. Besides, it would be another day away from home with my wife, going places we had never been before.

I called Neil and was told the specifics and that he had also contacted Kent, another Ring Finder and friend of mine. A time for the search was set for the next morning. As a courtesy I called Kent, who also had work commitments on Saturday and would not be able to meet up for the morning search. It was on me with moral support from my wife on this search.

After a walk over the area and explanation that Neil also did some lake weed cutting to clear a launch area for his kayaks. By this time my wife had made friends with Ruby, Neil’s race track rescue Dalmatian. I put on my water gear, did a quick scan over the track between the house and dock area, Nothing, it was then into the water and just a few minutes later I heard a perfect signal, took a shallow scoop and there it was. Neil’s ring was in my scoop. I walked a few steps back to Neil so he could remove the ring from the scoop and put it back on his finger while repeatedly expressing his gratitude. Picture time followed.

I always try to put interest into the “ring shot” and this time was no different. Ruby showed interest in my gear and held still while posing with the ring on her forehead for a perfect photo.

Neil insisted in buying breakfast for my wife and me. We had watched the Phantom Gourmet the day before and had planned to stop at the pick of the show, which was Ronnie Waffles, on our way home. That was a sweet, happy ending to an anguishing day Neil had experienced. A perfect ending to an outstanding week.

Lost Gold Wedding Band Recovered In Pasadena, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

It’s been a while since I’ve been contacted by someone in distress after losing something precious to them. That changed on Friday, May 7th when I received a call from Tim. He was out digging a trench to run electric to his shed when he realized his wedding band was missing. Here is how things went down in Tim’s own words.

“It was a Friday evening when I realized I lost my wedding band while digging a trench in my backyard earlier in the day.  My first thought was to rush out and buy a metal detector.  I did some quick research and realized  I had no experience. I would be lucky to find anything. After doing some more internet searches, I found Ring Finders.  At 9 o’clock at night I sent a text to Jim Wagner.  Little did I know he was close by.  He answered me right away and committed to showing up at my house at 7:30 the next morning.  He told me that if the ring was outside, he would find it.  True to his word, Jim was at my house at 7:30 with a smile and full of understanding. He started at one end of the trench and worked toward the other end while I nervously watched. He found my ring within 15 minutes.  Jim is a talented individual and it was a pleasure meeting him. I can’t thank him enough.”

Gold wedding band lost, recovered and returned in Philadelphia, PA!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Sebastian found me in the Ring Finders online directory. After a quick phone conversation it was conveyed to me that while playing basketball on the driveway of his Philadelphia home he realized his white gold wedding band had slipped off. He was pretty sure it came off while he was making a long shot from the middle of his grassy backyard. I was there at his property within 4 hours of his original contact. I had an opportunity to meet his son, Quinn, and baby daughter…cute kids!  As I always do I took a minute to demonstrate my equipment so he could gain confidence that if there…I’ll find!

After adjusting the settings of my Equinox 800 detector several times and already covering the area once I was finally able to find the signal I was looking for…I could see the white gold ring just under the surface of grass. It was ringing up a little high for gold leading me to believe it might be palladium instead. Regardless, Sebastian was pleased and relieved to see his ring once again. He and his kids happily posed for a celebratory moment with the recovered ring!

Yesterday, a distress call from Ryan pierced through the ordinary, signaling a dire predicament: her engagement and wedding rings, cherished symbols of love and commitment, had vanished into the sands of Ventura’s sun-kissed beaches. Despite the day-old loss and her return to Orange County, hope flickered as she reached out for aid.

With urgency fueling my every move, I set forth on a mission to reclaim what was lost.

Patience became paramount as I navigated through the throngs, awaiting the opportune moment to scour the sands.

Amidst the sea of people and the metallic symphony of discarded bottle caps, tabs, and foil, I meticulously combed through the designated area, relentlessly sifting through debris in pursuit of Ryan’s cherished symbols of love. A glimmer of hope emerged as my metal detector emitted a promising tone, leading me to an unexpected discovery—a ring nestled beneath layers of sand and concealed by a rock.

Though only one of the rings had been recovered, its significance transcended the missing wedding band. Adorned with a diamond passed down through generations, its recovery ignited tears of relief and gratitude from Ryan, a testament to the invaluable sentiment attached to lost jewelry.

Class of 1985 gold college ring…lost, recovered and returned in Collegeville, PA!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from Karen today seeking help in finding her boyfriend’s lost college ring. She found me in the Ring Finders directory and I returned her text with a phone call to discuss the lost ring. Karen conveyed to me that(1 year ago!) she was mowing the backyard lawn of her home in the Skippack/Collegeville area of PA while her boyfriend, Eric, was also doing some work in the backyard. As she was mowing she saw a large branch in her way and asked Eric to pick it up and heave it out of the way to the side of the yard. In doing so Eric felt his prized college ring fly off his finger in the same direction of the branch…somewhere in the corner of the yard. They searched for hours and even rented a metal detector to try to find with no luck. As the year passed Karen never forgot about the missing ring and was determined to find and return it to Eric…she finally reached out to a “Ring Finder”.

I arrived to her home around 3:30 pm on the same day she contacted me. We went straight back to the area where the loss occurred. As I always do I took a second to demonstrate my equipment with my own ring….I want people to feel confident that if the ring is there…I’m going to find it! She re-enacted the loss and showed me exactly which direction the branch and ring were thrown. I’ve learned over the years to prioritize the most likely search areas first and then expand outward. I was there about 5 minutes and on my 4th signal I knew I had it before I even bent down. It was a clean and solid gold tone 1 inch beneath the surface. I grabbed my pinpointer an targeted its exact location just under the surface and gently moved a 1/2 inch of dirt and saw the gold shine through. Before digging any further I called Karen over and asked her to take  a look….she was amazed!!! We gently moved a little more dirt and plucked this beauty out of the ground! As a Ring Finder I always tell people how much more fun it is when you are able to come through and find and return the item! Karen and Eric were very happy!!!!

Lost Keys Big Bear Park! Edmonton, Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Levi called me last week regarding his lost Key fob, which had been lost three days prior in a ravine! Levi searched for them but with no luck, and knowing how expensive it is to replace these key fobs he turned to the internet and found me on the Ringfinders web site.

When I met Levi at the park he showed me the location and said he had been throwing a ball for his dog down the ravine. When he went down to get the ball he slipped where there was tall grass and he thought his keys might be there but that was not the case! After searching for about one hour and asking questions I decide to look around above the ravine where Levi had parked his car. He showed me the direction he had walked to his car and said it was also how he walked back. I found his key fob forty feet in the other direction! Thank you Levi, for entrusting me to locate your lost key fob.

Wedding rings lost at Silver Strand State Beach Found

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

Yuliia took a walk south from The main Silver Strand State Beach, and with a simple hand movement, her wedding ring (a combination of 3 separate interlocking rings) flew off her finger and into the sand. She found my name on The Ring Finders site and gave me a call a couple of days later. We arranged to meet at the parking lot the following morning. My wife and I arrived at the prescribed time, met Yuliia, and we all took the mile walk south to the search area. Much to Yuliia’s credit, she took GPS coordinates and also remembered a particular log that was near where she lost the ring(s). She found the spot and I started my search. One short pass and a half and my first signal was a nice strong 10-11 on my Equinox. Out came the pin pointer and just and inch or two under the sand was her rings. A pleasure to meet you Yuliia and thank you for the reward.

Testimonial:

I lost my wedding band in knee deep water at the beach. The current & waves were strong that day, so I knew the likelihood of finding it was slim to none. As I was looking for metal detector rentals in my area, I found Craig & the Ringfinder website. I reached out to Craig (who responded back quickly) and we had an appointment scheduled to meet the following day in the general area where I lost my ring. I had personally looked for hours the day I lost it & Craig was able to find it within 5 minutes… Truly unbelievable! A very simple & straightforward process & I would recommend anyone to contact him in the event you have lost something of value. Thanks Craig!

Unearthing Lost Treasures: A Rincon Beach Wedding Ring Recovery Tale

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

Recently, I received a frantic call from Arthur, who found himself in the unfortunate predicament of losing his cherished platinum Tiffany’s wedding ring at Rincon Beach in North Ventura. Despite being thousands of miles away in Hawaii, his distress was palpable as he recounted the ring slipping off his finger during a playful moment with a friend’s dog at the beach. With determination in my heart, I set out on a mission to reunite Arthur with his beloved symbol of love and commitment.

Navigating through the sprawling expanse of Rincon Beach, I was met with a familiar sight: a shoreline littered with remnants of carelessly discarded bottle caps, a testament to the beachgoers’ revelry. Undeterred by the prospect of sorting through the debris, I embarked on a meticulous search, fueled by the hope of uncovering Arthur’s lost treasure.

Despite the daunting task ahead, perseverance proved to be the key as I diligently combed through the sands, guided by Arthur’s description and a few invaluable photographs provided by his friends. With each scoop, the anticipation grew until, finally, a faint but promising low tone echoed through the air. With bated breath, I unearthed the elusive ring, nestled among the sand and bottle caps, a gleaming beacon of hope amidst the debris.

A call and text swiftly confirmed the ring’s identity, and I assured Arthur that his precious possession would be safely kept until his return from Hawaii. Today, amidst the gentle sea breeze and the soft caress of the sun, Arthur’s story continued as his cherished ring found its way back to his finger, symbolizing a continuation of his journey.

While time may often be of the essence in such situations, luck and perseverance can also play pivotal roles in the recovery of lost treasures. Whether lost for days or weeks, rest assured that no stone will be left unturned in the quest to reunite you with your cherished jewelry. Don’t hesitate to reach out at 805-290-5009, and together, we can embark on a journey to reclaim what was once lost.
