Repeat ring find, 2 lost rings
Last year around this time, I received a phone call from a guy that was asking for my help to find a wedding ring. We made arrangements and I met him at his house and he took me to a big field where he told me that the year before they had a camper set up out there, and that him and his wife had got into an argument. During that argument, she threw her wedding ring out into the field. The next day, after calming down and realizing what she had done, they searched and searched and searched, trying to find her wedding ring. This had bothered them for a whole year, trying everything they could to find the ring, even buying a metal detector themselves and trying to find it. They finally did a search on the Internet and my “theringfinders.com“ page come up and they reached out to me. The grass was pretty high, so he got on his mower and started to cut the grass in the area that he felt like the ring would’ve been and probably about 1 to 1-1/2 hour later I finally found it for them. I usually ask people to text me the story in their own words of how the item became lost, how did you find me etc…but she wanted to stay anonymous and she didn’t want to text me the story, which is fine with me and I understand. I didn’t post the story on the webpage or on facebook.
Fast forward to July of this year they reach out to me again with a lost ring.
She still wants to stay anonymous but this time she did text me the story of how she lost it.
I was swimming in the evening with my 3 children and husband and wanted to get the kids a popsicle so I hopped out with my baby boy and as I was dealing with a squirming 1 year old (unhappy he was getting out ) I felt something slip from my finger but at the time didn’t think anything of it, just in a hurry to get the popsicles for my kids and get my son and I back in the pool.
After a long evening of swimming and the kids finally in bed, my husband and I were watching a Netflix series and I looked down and realized my ring was gone. We tried looking for it for a few days and after having a similar experience years ago, we knew just who to call, The Ring Finder!
He was very responsive and able to come the next day my husband had reached out to him. So very happy to get my ring back!

I received a call from Dean, who was very anxious to see if I could help find his wife Teanna’s lost engagement ring.
I was on my way to doing a recovery when I received a phone call from Carly. She explained her father John had lost a very sentimental Beach Badge that belong to his mother over 40 years ago. She said he wore this Beach Badge every day for the last 40 years and somehow it came on clipped from his bathing suit. I told her I could head out there for the next low tide, but she wanted to confirm it wasn’t found yet. I said no worries., call me back and keep me posted. She called back quickly and I told her I’d be on the beach early the next morning and sure enough within moments. I had the Beach Badge back in the John’s hands where it could be enjoyed for another 40 years. 
Yes unfortunately another lost ring? Thought she had lost it at her brother-in-laws house at a birthday party. After covering that location we then went to her home and recreated her morning that day. Worked a few areas around her house then she remembered she took a walk into the woods so off we went. Swinging the metal detector along a wooded trail to a beautiful location turned up nothing. Of course I kept swinging on the way back and actually spotted it on the ground a bit off the trail and made the find. It is interesting how a ring ends up where it is eventually found. Every time I make a find I learn something new about how and where to look. It is not as simple as it seems, and why we get calls from people who have spent days searching. So yes we can usually help and often its is not always with the metal detector or in the location believed to be.
Got a call for a lost ring in Ferndale Washington. He was doing yard work and throwing all his debris over a fence into a field spreading it out as he went along. So of course he thought it flew off his finger while flinging plant cuttings. Often a lost item isn’t where you think its is. Unfortunately the only way to rule out the idea is to search. It was a straight forward area of search that turned up nothing. I then will try to recreate the scene and take the client back in time to relive the moment before the obvious to after. Help them walk through it and usually some other locations or ideas will turn up. Unfortunately in this case that did not help either. I kept swinging back to my car and found it in the parking area. Another location where people often lose items.
Today in Bellingham Washington I found a ring for a client who was enjoying our warm weather in the lake. He actually lost two rings and saw them fly off his hand while throwing a football. For those who do not know, when you are in cold water your fingers shrink and it is very easy to lose rings. Especially when making harsh moves like throwing a football. If you have a ring or rings that are already loose, you should remove them before swimming in cold water. Always better safe then sorry! These were lost in about four feet of water. He was able to find one at the moment of loosing them but called me out to find the second. Without too much trouble the second ring was recovered.
