Oregon lost ring

The other evening, I received a message from Anthony saying “I’m pretty sure I lost my ring in Raleigh Park and I need help finding it.”

I wasn’t able to go search at that time, and being this is a public park, and time was essential to search, I suggested he contact the other local Ringfinder to see if he could come out immediately. I also told him if the other Ringfinder couldn’t help, I would go out the next morning and search.

A short time later, Anthony told me he left a message, but hadn’t heard back. He sent a Google image of the park, with a section circled where he and his wife had been playing with their dog. I let him know I would go out the next morning and do the search.

Arriving, I used the image to locate the right area. There is a Pickleball court on the lower section of the search area, so I was able to that fence as a reference for my grid search. The area was pretty clean, not counting the obligatory pull-tab. On the fourth pass, I hit a good high tone on the Manticore, but couldn’t see anything under the coil. Moving the grass with my foot, I saw the faint outline of a ring. I took a quick pic, then picked up what I had been looking for.
I sent Anthony a message telling him I thought I had found the right area to search. He replied asking if I had any luck. I said absolutely, and sent a picture of his ring.  He was in the middle of dealing with a pet emergency and was at the vet hospital, so couldn’t meet me. I told him I would do some metal detecting at some other parks in the area, and to let me know when we could meet to get his ring.

A bit later, I got his call and we met and I returned his ring.

Its always a happy day when I can return something, and make someone smile 😊

Best wishes for your pups health and thanks for your generosity.

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
