Lost Ring on Volleyball Court in Rockville, Maryland…Found by Local Metal Detectorist

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Nicholas’ white gold wedding band that Brian Rudolph found metal detecting on a grassy volleyball court in Rockville, Maryland.

Nicholas excitedly holding up his treasured white gold wedding band which Brian Rudolph metal detected in the grass approximately 45 feet from where Nicholas felt his ring fly off of his finger.

Nicholas was in one of those desperate situations where one feels like his or her only option is to call a professional. But one doesn’t know if it will be worth the cost or if it will even work out if you do invest in a qualified expert.

My client lost his white gold wedding ring during a volleyball match out on a grassy Rockville, Maryland field near his workplace. Immediately after Nicholas’ ring went flying off of his finger, his team and the opposing team (7 people total) all got on their hands and knees to comb through the grass filled court in hopes of recovering it. After about 20 minutes or so of not being able to find anything, Nicholas frantically searched to find a store nearby that had a metal detector in stock. He got the only one he could find and then spent another 3 frustrating hours searching with the metal detector while dealing with lots of false positives until it was dark (while his teammates also stuck around searching by eye). Nicholas then continued for another hour by himself trying to use a flashlight to see if he could miraculously see the reflection of the ring.

After a long and frustrating search, my client turned to the internet once again and found a Reddit post mentioning THE RING FINDERS, an elite international directory of metal detectorists, which in turn led Nicholas in finding my contact information. He messaged me to see if I was available to help in the search. The young man was desperate to hear a response to his cry for assistance and so I tried quickly to get back to him. When we talked, I gathered up as many details as possible and scheduled to meet up near the grassy volleyball court early the next morning.

Nicholas later admitted that he was skeptical. He shared that it was kind of a last act of desperation to get his ring back and my client wasn’t fully convinced I could find it. After all, multiple people spending multiple hours searching for it could not even find it…so why should he believe that one single person could accomplish what seven others could not?

The two of us met at the Rockville, Maryland volleyball court early the next day. I talked him through all of the details on how I was going to search for Nicholas’ beloved wedding platinum wedding band. I could tell that he was hopeful but somewhat questioning as I said that I would start sweeping the outer perimeter of the court, far beyond where my client was (center court) when he lost the ring, and then work my way into the center.

After 40 minutes of scanning the outside perimeter of the rear and right sections of the court, as well as the inner center court area on both sides of the net, later on, Nicholas shared that he was pretty disheartened at that point. Yet, this RING HERO was still optimistic and not moved at all even though so much time had passed by at that stage of the search. I explained to Nicholas that I would begin searching even farther out than the initial scanned area, but this time it would be on the opposite side of the court that my client was on. I would do my grid lines on the left outer sideline area of the court and see if the ring went flying way past the left out-of-bounds line. After the search was over, Nicholas told me that he figured that there was no chance of me finding it there. Yet, he thought to himself, “Why not, let him try. I have nothing to lose.”

Within ten minutes of working in that area, I was shouting over to the kind young man to come on over to where I was standing. I found the ring approximately 45 feet from where Nicholas had felt the ring slide off of his finger! It was hiding in the grass way beyond the far left side of the volleyball court! I still get amazed at how far these little guys can fly! I was so happy for him! Nicholas couldn’t believe how quickly and easily I was able to find his ring. I congratulated him as I handed his irreplaceable keepsake back to the hand that it belonged to and then we gave each other a huge victory man hug.

I am so thrilled to have been able to recover Nicholas’ lost wedding band. It meant the world to he and his wife the day it was placed on his finger…and now in a different way it means just as much to have reclaimed what would have been lost and gone forever!

Gold Wedding Band and Girl’s Childhood Ring Found in the Ground Outside of Herndon, Virginia House

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

David’s classic yellow gold wedding band and daughter’s sterling silver peace sign ring buried in the dirt for four years and possibly decades found by ring finding specialist, Brian Rudolph

David happily displaying his two treasures soon after ring finder Brian Rudolph recovered his client’s lost wedding band and daughter’s sterling silver peace sign ring several inches below the ground.

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

David contacted me after searching the internet for a professional metal detectorist. He found THE RING FINDERS website, an elite international directory of metal detectorists who specialize in finding lost rings and other precious items.

David was in need of recovering his lost classic yellow gold wedding band that had gone missing four years earlier. My client explained to me that one night during dinner, David was playing with his wedding band at the dining room table. At some point, he left the room without remembering to put his very special keepsake back on his finger. As it was customary to do, David’s wife Deborah took the dining room tablecloth (not aware that the ring that she put on her husband’s finger nearly 45 years earlier was mixed in with all the crumbs), opened the rear door of the house and shook it out over the ground to the left of the steps.

When David realized what had happened to his ring, he immediately acquired a metal detector to search for the irreplaceable treasure. Sadly, all of his efforts led to no avail. Instead of looking for a new solution to somehow find his lost wedding band, David moved on to other more pressing responsibilities and projects. Four years later, my client decided it was finally time to try again to recover his very precious piece of gold. Utilizing another metal detector to scan the same patch of lawn years that he searched so long ago did not provide for better results. That’s when he found me on THE RING FINDERS website.

As soon as I arrived at David’s home, he took me to the backyard and showed me where his wife Deborah regularly shakes out the dining room tablecloth. It was a very small section of real estate (approximately 3 feet by 5 feet) mostly consisting of old dried out dirt and rocks.

Before I started metal detecting the particular area in question, I thought to myself how hard it was to believe that the ring could have ended up in that tiny section because David should have easily found the ring when he used the metal detectors…and yet he had no such luck.

It took no more than a quick swing with my detector over the patch of dirt before a very attractive target signal could be heard in my headphones and seen on my machine’s screen. I took out my hand digger and broke up the dirt in order to get access to the mysterious object buried several inches below the ground. Then, I used a handheld detector to identify the exact location of where the piece of metal in question was hiding. To my client’s surprise and amazement (including my own shock and awe over what my eyes beheld), the once cherished classic yellow gold wedding band emerged from a broken up ball of dirt that my cutting knife sliced out of the hard earth! There it was! It was there the whole time! David’s ring was finally recovered! Somehow he missed it when using the cheap metal detectors 4 years earlier and most recently!

David’s situation is not uncommon. Many of our clients try to find what they are looking for with a metal detector but they are not experienced in operating the device and or the equipment is cheap in construction and pretty much worthless. Therefore, they can’t understand the beeps, bleeps and numbers that pop up on the machine’s screen. The individual gets frustrated and eventually the search gets scrapped.

I was curious as to why David’s ring came up at such a high number on my detector screen when I initially scanned the spot in question. After having a quick celebration with my client, I decided to place the detector coil back down over the dirt to examine the ground further. I wanted to see if there was additional metal that was in the same vicinity where David’s handsome piece of gold was found. Indeed there was! I picked up more than a few signals but one was right there in the hole where I dug out David’s ring minutes earlier.

It turned out that there was another ring buried right next to David’s wedding band! It was a girl’s sterling silver peace sign ring which apparently belonged to one of David’s children from long ago – perhaps over 20 years earlier! The little ring most likely met a similar fate in the same way that David’s ring ended up outside – it got caught up in the dining room tablecloth and thrown out of the house with all of the crumbs!

It was truly a fun experience for me to recover not only the irreplaceable wedding keepsake that belonged to David, but I was also able to preserve a small piece of childhood history that belonged to one of David’s daughters when she was a young girl! This metal detecting story turned out to have a very happy ending for both husband / father and for daughter, as well!

Family Heirloom Gold Pendant & Chain Lost on Ocean City, Maryland Beach…Found by Metal Detectorist

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Shaundra’s 14 karat yellow and white gold family heirloom pendant and chain previously worn and gifted to her by her grandmother who died one year earlier.

Happiness and relief can be easily seen across Shaundra’s countenance as she excitedly displays her very special family heirloom pendant!

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

I received a distress call from a woman named Shaundra who had lost her yellow and white gold family heirloom pendant and gold chain that had been handed down to her by her grandmother a year earlier. This pendant which had a large letter “E” in the middle of it, was worn by her grandmother up until the time that the woman had passed away. It meant everything to her. The special matriarch of the family wanted her granddaughter to wear it around her neck just as she had for so many years. Therefore, to lose this, there was much guilt and grief going on within Shaundra.

Shaundra realized that the pendant was gone sometime after she arrived back to her hometown several hours away from Ocean City, Maryland where she had been vacationing. It was either lost on the shore somewhere, or possibly out in the water where the woman was cooling off earlier that afternoon.

I was so happy to receive the phone call from my client. I had to drive 3 hours to Ocean City, Maryland to conduct the search, but I was excited nonetheless. When I got there in the middle of the night, I took all of my metal detecting gear out onto the dry sand and laid out my grid lines to start the search. Shaundra had helped me over the phone, earlier that day, with information that would help me strategize a particular area on the beach where I would first start my hunt.

I am happy to share that I successfully recovered the exquisite yellow and white gold family heirloom pendant attached to its yellow gold chain in the dry sand! I never had to go into the water to start looking for it because my metal detector located the jewel between two of the grid lines that I had laid down out on the sandy beach shore.

Shaundra made the trip out to the beach in the middle of the night just to assist with the search in case I had problems identifying some of the landmarks that she had given me earlier on. So, when she arrived, Shaundra had no idea that I had already recovered her most priceless material possession! My client was beyond emotionally moved by the news that I shared with her that I had found her grandmother’s special pendant that had been buried inches below the sand!

I love what I do to help people find their sentimental keepsakes! With the case of Shaundra, she will always be indebted to THE RING FINDERS for providing such a wonderful directory of metal detectorists around the world to help people just like her help recover their most priceless possessions like Shaundra’s pendant and chain!

Metal Detecting Yard for Lost Diamond Engagement Ring and Diamond Anniversary Enhancer Ring…Found in Damascus, Maryland

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Mary’s Beautiful Two Rings Welded Together (Solitaire Diamond Engagement Ring Along with Her Multiple Diamond Anniversary Enhancer Ring) Found by Member of THE RING FINDERS Brian Rudolph in Damascus, Maryland!

John and Mary of Damascus, Maryland Celebrating the Recovery of Their Lost Diamond Engagement Ring and Diamond Enhancer Ring Found by Ring Finder Brian Rudolph!

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

I received a phone call from a woman named Mary who lost both her 14 carat yellow gold 2 carat solitaire diamond engagement ring and her attached anniversary enhancer ring comprised of 4 round diamonds (.75 carats each) – 2 of the stones set on each side in order to flank the large solitaire stone.

While throwing a ball to her dog to fetch in the backyard of her Damascus, Maryland house, Mary recalled feeling her gorgeous ring fly off of her finger. She looked for hours and yet she came up with nothing. Her husband John went outside to lend a hand with the search and he too couldn’t recover the “Missing In Action” sentimental keepsake. At some point the couple had enough. They decided to call one of their friends who metal detected as a serious hobby (especially hunting civil war relics). The guy metal detected the lawn for 6 hours! When all was said and done the two rings welded together (not a small piece of jewelry) were still nowhere to be found! The detectorist had no luck in finding the bands.

All of Mary’s resources had now been thoroughly exhausted and she started to lose hope that she would ever see her diamond rings ever again. With one last effort the woman went online and searched for help. Almost immediately Mary discovered THE RING FINDERS, an elite international directory of metal detecting specialists – experts at finding lost rings. She quickly found my contact information as I provide metal detecting services in Damascus, Maryland and soon after we were chatting on the phone together!

I believe it was later that day that I was in the car traveling to Mary and John’s house to attempt to solve the mystery of the lost ring. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by Mary and the two of us went to the backyard so that I could get a better idea of the “scene of the crime”. My client showed me where she was standing when she threw the ball to the dog and in what way she launched the rubber play toy. I looked around a bit and I curiously noticed lots of dug up holes and large dirt patches amongst her lovely grassy lawn. Mary shared with me that those were made as a result of the extremely zealous metal detectorist friend of theirs! He was very well meaning but for some reason he thought the ring ended up 4 to 5 inches below the earth in a matter of days!

Once I gathered up all of the facts necessary to better understand the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the two rings welded together, I got started on the search. Here is a picture of where I began detecting: If one were to face towards the rear of the couple’s property, I decided to metal detect starting nearest to the entrance of the yard and traveling from left-to-right rather than scanning the property with grid lines from the front of the yard towards the back. The reason for this was because everyone was thinking that the sentimental jewelry went far away from where Mary was standing. Yet, nothing was ever found. So, I figured I would search closer to the house and slowly detect farther away if nothing turned up nearer to the front.

Well, I am very happy to share that my hunch proved to be correct! Just as I was completing only my third grid line, I hit a perfect target signal coming from an area that was no more than 20 feet away from the entrance to the yard and perhaps 20 feet on slight angle to the right of where Mary threw the ball. I knelt down on the ground with my handheld detector and immediately analyzed the mysterious metal object hidden below the many blades of grass. As I separated the plant life, instantly my eyes beheld the most amazing diamond engagement ring with its multiple diamond enhancer attached! The most elegant sentimental “symbol of love” in Mary’s life had finally been found! It was stunning in appearance! At that moment it was as if the diamonds were speaking to me with all of their sparkle and pop, saying, “It’s about time you brought us home where we belong!” I found this spectacular work of art within 10 minutes of starting the search! What a thrill it was and I was more excited to surprise Mary and John just a little while after discovering their treasured piece of jewelry!

The moment that I revealed the rings to the couple, their faces lit up as bright as the shining sun above! The two of them were beyond blown away, not only with just the reality that their highly valued jewelry had been returned to them, but also because I was able to find the missing rings so very quickly! They couldn’t believe it! What couldn’t be found in nearly 10-plus hours of searching between three people, I was able to successfully recover the rings within 10 minutes or less! I couldn’t have been happier for Mary and John!
