Lost Ring Found Near Shakopee Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)

imageMarian and her husband were visiting their friends in southern Minnesota on a cold winter day. The wind chill temperatures had dropped to nearly 30 below zero! When leaving that evening, Marian, removed her glove to retrieve her car keys. Hurried by the cold, she flung the car door open. Within an instant her engagement ring along with her wedding band went flying into the dark cold night. Friends frantically searched the area with flashlights but could not stand the cold long enough to locate the rings. The next morning, they rented a metal detector from their local hardware store and managed to find the wedding band; however, the platinum and diamond engagement ring could not be found. Marian called The Ring Finder, J.R., and he agreed to make the 2 hour drive to help locate the ring in below zero, blizzard like conditions. Once bundled up, J.R. began the search. The area was filled with many false signals, but he knew once he heard the correct tone on his metal detector, he had found the ring. He brushed away the snow-packed ground to reveal Marian’s ring, not far from where the car was parked. Her face lit up with smiles and gratitude as J.R. presented the ring to her and she placed it back on her hand where hopefully it shall never leave again! If you or anyone you know has lost a ring in the Minnesota area, please call J.R. (763-670-5544) to help you get your sentimental items back. If you are outside of Minnesota, check The Ring Finders directory, for a ring finder near you.

 

Lost Wedding Band… Laguna Beach, CA… Found in Sand

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Wednesday,  August 14, 2013

I was sitting at home trying to decide what beach I was going to today, when I got a call from Marco Semerano, who was vacationing in Laguna Beach with his family. He  had been helping his son dig a hole in the sand Tuesday afternoon when his ring slipped off his finger. He and his wife searched the rest of the day and that night they asked everybody around if there was any way to contact somebody with a detector. No body could help them so they went to the internet and called sporting goods stores, etc. with the idea of buying a detector. That’s when they found The RingFinders and my contact information. I’m only 7 miles away so I was out the door and met Marco on the beach where he was guarding the location where he had lost the ring.

Marco told me how important his ring was to him because it was his father’s. Rocco and Laurie Semerano married 12/29/57.. Knowing the history of his ring, I had to find this ring. I started to swing my search coil and I was getting odd signals so I asked them to move the metal beach chair. After moving the chair I swung my coil where it had been and behold the sound of gold. One scoop and there was Marco’s ring. His face lit up and so did mine.

Marco asked me for some cards because he wanted to make sure the people at the Hotel and the Lifeguards know about The RingFinders service. Someday people will automatically Google the RingFinders to get help. How often have I heard ” I didn’t know a service like this existed”. It’s nice to be part of this group and someday I’ll be able to say I was a member in the early days.

After a couple photos, we talked for a few minutes. Marco telling me the whole story of this ring and me telling him lost ring stories. Then I went off to spend the next few hours detecting on a beautiful beach for pleasure, this is what I do normally. It’s a tuff life. I love it..

Lost Wedding Ring Stanley Park Calgary

CTV Calgary                                      Published Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012 11:58AM MDT                            Last Updated Thursday, Oct. 11,  2012 7:37PM MDT

Losing a wedding ring is a sickening feeling for anyone that’s misplaced the  piece of sentimental jewelry.

A local metal detector specialist, known as ‘The Ringfinder’, is doing his  part to end the emotional pain.

Kevin Niefer has been metal detecting for the last 25 years.

In 2011, Niefer joined the Ring Finders Network, and is the group’s  representative here in Calgary.

Niefer says he’s been quite successful helping people find their lost  rings.

He’s currently helping Alicia Tropak locate her lost wedding ring.  She  misplaced her ring on September 23, 2012, somewhere near Stanley Park.

Tropak is expecting her first child at the end of the month, and says her  fingers swell sometimes.  She took her ring off, put it in her pocket, and  lost it somewhere along her walk.

Niefer is hopeful he can find the ring using his metal detector which has a  history of locating all kinds of hidden treasures.

“And that could be jewelry or old relics like pins or chauffeurs badges, or  coins,” says Niefer.  “You never know what you’re going to dig up, and when  you dig it up, it’s thrilling.”

“Or it might be a bottle cap.”

Niefer and Tropak were unable to find the ring on this day, but will return  to expand the search.
