Wedding Ring Lost in Harpeth River Found With Metal Detector

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

 

Jeff and his wife were enjoying the cool water of the Harpeth River in beautiful Leiper’s Fork, TN on June 20th when he lost his gold wedding band. They spent hours looking under rocks in the shallow river, which luckily was only six to ten inches deep in that area. Unable to find his ring, a family member of his looked on the internet and found my info on TheRingFinders directory. When Jeff contacted me I was in TX, but I assured him that based on what he told me, it was likely that the ring was nestled down in the rocks and probably even covered in silt from the flowing water, making it even more difficult to find. With Jeff’s hectic work schedule and me being out of town, we aimed for the search to be done today on June 28th. This search was the first of three searches on this day.

We met at the small winery along the river at 10:30 am. The business hadn’t opened yet however there were still about ten people seated in chairs in the shallow spots, enjoying the shade. A nice couple moved their chairs after Jeff mentioned why we were there. As the growing crowd of onlookers watched I continued my search for Jeff’s ring. After a few non-target items like pocket change and pull tabs were detected and removed from the river, I got another signal. Jeff was watching eagerly when I pulled the ring out from under some rocks and asked, “Does it look anything like this?” Everyone was cheering and clapping for Jeff. The pictures don’t do any justice to the river, but in my opinion it was the smiles on Jeff and his wife’s face that meant the most to me.

Wedding Ring Lost for Two Weeks Found With Metal Detector

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

 

Elia contacted me a week ago regarding her wedding ring being lost in her back yard a week prior. She had handed the ring to her husband when she went swimming and he put the ring in his shorts pocket. He later pulled some car keys from the same pocket and the ring apparently fell somewhere in the yard. Elia’s husband bought a metal detector and tried finding the ring himself, only to become frustrated. When our schedules were aligned I met with Elia and her husband on 06-28-2026. The back yard was expansive, but Elia’s husband showed me the areas where the ring was most likely lost. About 30 minutes into my grid search I got the tone that I was hoping for. Elias’s beautiful ring was concealed deep in the grass, not visible to the naked eye from any angle. Elia and her husband were elated, and I was quite happy myself. Eliza’s husband had already looked into replacing the ring and was shocked when he’d seen how much the price of gold had gone up. This was my second successful ring search on this day.

Lost Wedding Ring Found With a Metal Detector in Portland, TN

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

 

Aaron found my contact information on TheRingFinders directory after his wife lost her wedding ring in their Portland, TN back yard about a week ago. She actually lost both her engagement and wedding rings at the same time as she was playing with their dogs, but they quickly found the larger engagement ring in the grass. The wedding ring disappeared in the thick grass, and played hard to get even when Aaron used a metal detector to look for the ring himself. This was the second search of the day for me, and was hopefully going to be successful like the first search.

After Aaron showed me where his wife was standing when she lost her rings and where they found the engagement ring, he said he’d leave me to do my thing and he went back in the house. Ten minutes into the search I got the signal I was hoping for. The ring was completely concealed in the thick grass, about twelve feet away from where the engagement ring had been found. Both Aaron and his wife were very happy to have the wedding ring back on her finger with the matching engagement ring. Aaron’s wife had all but given up hope that her ring would be found. It was a great feeling to recover the ring for her.

Davis contacted me on 06-23-2026 after he lost his gold wedding band in his back yard. He had placed his ring in the side pocket of an ice chest, and later when he was dumping the ice chest in his back yard, the ring fell from the ice chest pocket. He used a rake to comb through the grass but could not find the ring. We agreed that I would search for the ring on 06-27-2026. Davis asked if he could watch me search and I said he was more than welcome to watch. I warned him that there will be other metal objects in his yard that I will be checking and not to get too excited when he sees me bend down to check a target. After showing me the area where he dumped the ice chest, I powered up the Deus 2 metal detector, started a timer and swung the coil next to the concrete patio and got a strong signal. I was happily surprised that this very first target was in fact Davis’ ring. TEN SECONDS is my new record for a ring recovery, beating my old record of 38 seconds. Sometimes luck is better than skill. Either way Davis was elated. He assured me that he checked the area where I found his ring, and was baffled that he didn’t see it. I spent a few minutes allowing Davis’s young daughter swing the detector over the ring, then use the pinpointer to locate her dad’s ring a second time. It put a smile on her face, so that was an added bonus.

Lost Ring in Murfreesboro TN Found With Metal Detector

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

I got a call from Mitchell on June 6th, 2026 a few hours after he lost a very special ring in his backyard. It was a warm day, so he and his kids had a water balloon fight in their Murfreesboro, TN back yard. He felt the ring fly off his finger. The lush green grass in his yard, or possibly even one of the adjoining neighbor’s yards swallowed up his ring. He spent hours walking barefoot in his yard, hoping he’d find it by stepping on it, to no avail. He then found my information on TheRingFinders directory and gave me a call.

Mitchell’s father had owned the ring for many years and gave it to Mitchell just last year. Mitchell cherishes the ring and had worn it daily, so finding it was a must. I made the 45 minute drive from Nashville and met with Mitchell. He eagerly showed me where the water balloon fight took place. He anxiously watched as I started a grid search with my metal detector, and luckily he didn’t have to wait long. At the five minute mark I got the signal I was hoping for, it was Mitchell’s gorgeous white gold and diamond ring. Needless to say, Mitchell was all smiles. What a great feeling to reunite people with their lost treasures.

On April 28th. 2026 I received a call from a very nice lady named Paula. She had lost her beloved 14K gold brooch on Sunday, April 26th, most likely at her church. The brooch was the most sentimental item that she had received from her late husband, so to her it was priceless. Paula had already alerted the church staff to be on the lookout for her brooch inside the church buildings.

I met with Paula at her church about one hour after receiving her call. She showed me the route that she walked from the entry doors of the church to where she had been parked. I found a gold earring along the path, concealed in the grass, but not Paula’s brooch. Paula turned the earring into the lost and found in the church reception area. Paula asked me help her look inside the church, just to get a fresh pair of eyes to visually search the floors. No luck inside the church.

Once outside, Paula asked if I’d follow her to her friend’s house a few minutes drive away so I could use my metal detector along the path to her friend’s front door. I agreed to the search at her friend’s house, but asked if I could search her vehicle first. She assured me that she had searched her vehicle thoroughly and did not find the brooch. Using my digital borescope I searched under and around the driver’s seat and located Paula’s brooch tucked away, completely hidden from the naked eye. I showed her the screen with the live image of her brooch and she cried tears of joy. When I handed Paula her beautiful brooch she gave me the biggest hug and said, “You made my day! No, I take that back. You made my whole year!” It’s a wonderful feeling to re-unite nice people like Paula with their treasures that they thought were gone forever.

Bracelet Lost in Lagoon, Point Pleasant Beach NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Margaret reached out to me about recovering her bangle bracelet, which had slipped off her wrist while she was cleaning the windows on her boat. I told her I’d be able to help but needed a few details, including the water depth and photos of the dock area, the boat, and the exact spot where the bracelet had fallen. Once she sent the information, we set a day and time for the recovery.

Margaret couldn’t make it due to work, but her husband, John, met me at the boat. I searched the area thoroughly for about an hour and a half. There was one promising signal, but it turned out to be part of a crab trap. Since I was leaving for vacation the next day, I assured John I’d be back afterward to continue the search. I suggested we dive for the bracelet, which would make things simpler, and they agreed.

After my return, I met John at the boat with diving gear, ready to continue the search. In about 25 minutes, Margaret’s bracelet was recovered and brought safely out of the water. John couldn’t believe it and mentioned how thrilled Margaret would be to have her bracelet back.

2 rings lost in Wash park Denver found and returned!

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)

Erin was visiting friends here in Colorado from Chicago over the weekend. They decided to spend some time in the very popular “Wash park” in Denver. They laid out a blanket and Erin decided to take the rings off to put lotion on. She had set them on the blanket and forgot about them. They were a Norte Dame class ring and a Claddaugh ring. As they were leaving they shook the blanket off and packed up. She was already on her way back to Chicago when she realized th

 

Wedding ring set found in Horsetooth Reservoir

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Recently I received a call from Trina asking me to try to locate a ring lost in Horsetooth Reservoir. She and her husband Ben had spent the day hiking around the reservoir and wanted to cool off in the water. She wadded out into the water; the water level drops off quickly so about 10-15 feet from shore and she was already up to her shoulders and cooling off nicely. Even though she could touch bottom easily she had to mover her hands in a treading water motion in order to stay in one place due to waves from the nearby boaters. It wasn’t long when Trina felt her wedding ring (handed down from her great grandmother) slip from her finger. Trina and Ben spent the next several hours trying to find her ring with no success. That night she found my number and contacted me and soon we made arrangements for Stephanie Hobbs and I to come and do a search.
Sunday morning Stephanie and I gathered our gear and began our hour long drive north. Stephanie brought her XP Deus and associated gear, I brought my Minelab Manticore, waterproof headphones, pouch and two water scoops.
Upon arrival at the reservoir, we were VERY fortunate to find a parking spot and pulled in (timing is everything). Trina and Ben met us as we pulled in, they live in Cheyenne, Wyoming so it was no short drive for them either. They took us down to the location of our search site and Trina showed us how deep she was in reservoir.
Stephanie and I spent over two hours in the cold mountain water searching trying to locate the rings.  At one point I needed to get out of the water to prevent hypothermia and warm up on the large rocks that lined the shore. The scoops that I had brought were useless as the area of our search had large flat rocks that left crevasses with a thin layer of mud on the rocks. I tried feeling for the ring with my bare feet and pulled up many rocks (I may have monkey feet), that was unsuccessful. Finally, I decided to detect mark the spot by Stephanie holding my scoop upside down and I would dive under the water and try to feel for the object (hopefully the ring). This was a good idea but not great. Stephanie suggested that we use her MI6 probe since it is waterproof, what a great idea. Eventually we wondered out to deeper water, up to my chin. I heard a great signal (31) with a perfectly round dot on the line of my Manticore. With Stephanie perched on two larger rocks so that she was above water holding the scoop to mark the spot and my detector I started to dive again. After several handfuls of muck, I finally surfaced with the rings in my hand.
