Wedding ring lost in the yard in Oregon,found with metal detector

I received a message inquiring if I was able to help find a lost wedding ring.

I had a conversation with Cal regarding his loss.

He told me he had been doing some yard work, raking up yard debris and loading the recycling bin. He finished up, and was in his house when he discovered his wedding ring was not on his finger. He told me he never takes his ring off, and thought it must have come off somewhere in his yard, probably when he had taken his gloves off as he worked. He said it was a white gold band.

I was able to go out the following morning, which fortunately coincided with a break in the Oregon rain.

Cal showed me the area, and explained what he had been doing. I began a grid search in the back section of the yard, finding a few coins and tons of scrap metal.

Cal had to leave, but his wife was still there. I got about 3/4’s of the way through the yard, when I got a faint but promising signal. I kicked back some of the bark and saw the very thin white gold ring. I called Cal’s wife over and gave her a little metal detector tutorial, going over scrap signals, then the ring. I picked it up and handed it to her, and she was super happy.

I wasn’t able to get a picture of Cal getting his ring back, but received a text with many emojis expressing his gratitude.

White gold

Lost ring found in Aumsville Oregon

Oregon lost ring Oregon lost jewelry I received a late night message inquiring if I was Greg from Ring Finders, and if I could help locate a lost ring.

In our text exchange, Tamerik explained that the lost white gold ring was worn on a chain around his neck. He had been helping a friend move some chairs from a shed, across the backyard. It wasn’t until his friends father found the broken chain that he realized the ring was gone.

Aumsville is about a hour down the road and I was able to head down the next day in the late afternoon.

When I arrived, I met Tamerik and he showed me the area he thought the ring should be.  He showed me the shed where the chairs were stored, and the approximate path he took while carrying them.

I started with my Minelab, doing a quick search over the suspected area. Quickly I discovered the area was super trashy, with multiple hits at various depths. I switched to a more systematic grid-search, getting great hits, but nothing near the surface. After about a hour, both Tamerik (who had been watching), and I were getting discouraged.

Tamerik‘s friend was there, so we had another conversation. He pointed out the approximate location where he thought his father had found the broken chain. Putting on my thinking cap, I looked at the yard, and decided on the shortest path I would take. I switched to my Garrett AT Gold with a smaller coil (always bring multiple detectors).  After about 10 minutes, I got the signal I was looking for. Bent down, parted the grass, and there was the  missing gold ring.
Glad to be able to help out…..persistence pays off
