Tom and Barb have been married for 55 years. When they returned inside after working together on an outdoor project, Tom noticed his gold wedding ring was missing. They searched and searched but could not find it. Tom turned to the internet and eventually came across me. Long story short, after I had searched their property and didn’t find it, I expanded my area to include some of the neighbors close by. Yes, nestled in the river rock under some plants was his ring. Once I got the signal I instantly saw it. This is testament to how goo they can blend in and hide in plain sight. Its always and honor to help people get back such irreplaceable things.

 

Lost diamond wedding ring Republican River Recovered

This story starts a week earlier with a call about a lost item in Lake MacConaughy in Nebraska. The area I was given was the largest specific area I’ve ever been given. It was doable but the hours I calculated to do it was beyond what I had and was not looking forward to it. I went anyway. I knew that if I swung over it I’d find it. 16 hours of water searching later without success I started some shallow water searching. Just then I swung over a class ring. Hopefully I can get that returned. I headed back to my chair to send the class ring information to Mark my history friend who loves to do these types of searches and he is good at it. I was beat down, tired and trying to collect my thoughts on my game plan. I then noticed that I missed a phone call and text message. Without finding that class ring I might not have looked at my phone for hours and seen the call for help. I read the message and then listened to the voice mail. An urgency behind the questioning voice asking me if I ever do recoveries at the Republican river by Harlen lake gave me a second wind for the trip. I messaged back and Kaitlyn begin to explain what happened. Without knowing all the details I immediately started packing up to make the 2.5 hour trip. As I traveled we continued to communicate and work out a game plan. They were going to meet me and help me find the spot where the loss happened. Jayson and Kaitlyn showed up from Kansas within minutes of my arrival. I knew we were going to make a good team the way we were able to do this. NOW the story. Every year April, Jaysons mother and her family and friends would do a group float down the Republican……Except this year was different. Andrew, Aprils husband wasn’t on the trip, he had passed away a few months earlier after a long and courageous battle with pancreatitis and the complications that came with it. April, supported by her friends and family, embarked on what was supposed to be a great day enjoying the precious family she has. As they begin the relaxing and fun time tubing the river, she put her hand down to try and stop herself so she could help someone who got a little too close to an over hanging branch into the river. She felt it….the feeling no body wants to feel. Her wedding ring got pulled off and dissappeared into the strong current of the river. Devastated, she immediately stopped and started to look for it. One by one others came to look for the priceless sentimental symbol of her bond with Andrew. With no success, they had no choice but to continue on with the trip. With a heavy heart April tried to enjoy the time with her company. The next day Kaitlyn with determination was on the internet searching for anything. Anything that could help her find Aprils ring. That’s when she came across theringfinders.com. She eventually contacted me and divine intervention had it that I was far west from my home and was beat down from the 16 hours I had just spent on another water recovery and needing to decompress. This was exactly what I needed. It took some good teamwork to find the exact tree and then hike all the equipment in. Jayson and Kaitlyn were so helpful and because of their determination to help his mother get her ring back we made quick work of the recovery. Through multiple texts, facetiming and even a simulated float down the river, in a tube that we found in the bushes, we were able to come to an agreement on the spot. I geared up and started upstream and even with the tree. I ran a test with a similar ring tied to fishing string,to see how the ring would react with the current. Then slowly moving with the current in a straight line, I got a signal. The signal I knew that I was looking for with a white gold ring could fall right on a pop tab signal depending on the KT of the gold. Using my pinpointer I then carefully worked the target into my hand. I pulled it to the surface. Yep, it was a pop tab. This could be a very long search as I have literally experienced 100’s of pop tabs before on other recoveries. Another foot or two downstream of that signal was another signal. A pop tab comes in no lower than a 25 on my VDI and this was a 21/22 and a nickel comes in at a 20. I tried not to smile and give false hopes as I carefully used my pinpointer to narrow down the signal to a spot no bigger than a quarter. I then grabbed the handful of rock and sand bringing it to the surface. The whole time keeping my pinpointer by my hand to make sure the target is in my hand. I opened up my hand. We all looked in disbelief. It was the ring. I held it up and relief hit us. It was over. They had put me in the spot, literally right on it. A quick fist bump and we headed for the shore and then hiked back to the cars. Jayson and Kaitlyn headed off for Kansas to surprise his mom, April. I stayed and thanked God for the success and to reflect on the weekend. It was my greatest honor to be entrusted with the recovery of such a priceless sentimental ring.

A Recent Success Story: Recovering a Diamond Engagement Ring in SilverLake, Los Angeles.
Recently, Dave received a call from Ohio about a lost diamond engagement ring in SilverLake, Los Angeles. Kendall reached out on behalf of her daughter, Kaitlin, who had accidentally flung her ring off her fiancé’s car hood while waving goodbye, holding her baby. The ring landed in a challenging garden filled with cacti, bougainvillea, and thorny plants. Thanks to Kaitlin’s detailed photos, Dave prepared to search meticulously, relying on his pinpointers rather than his Minelab Manticore due to the dense, prickly terrain.The search area was a narrow 10-foot ledge above a steep, hazardous hillside. Kaitlin’s fiancé suggested starting on the far right, believing the ring landed there. After 15 minutes of careful searching on hands and knees, Dave found no trace of the ring. Just as he reassessed, Kaitlin’s grandmother shared a vivid dream about the ring’s location—halfway to the left on the flat ledge. Respecting her intuition, Dave shifted his focus.Within two minutes, his pinpointer detected a signal under a bush. Peeling back leaves and navigating thorns, Dave spotted the glint of a diamond. Buried in underbrush, the ring was tricky to retrieve, but he carefully scooped it up, leaves and all, revealing the stunning engagement ring in all its glory. Kaitlin and her family were overjoyed!

Lost – Ladies heirloom 14K gold ring, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

If you’ve lost ring anywhere in Central Florida…

Call Detector Ed 757-419-0299

On Saturday, I was just getting ready to throw burgers on the grill when my phone buzzed.  My friend Daniel tagged me in a Facebook post.  A lady had lost her ring, handed down from her late grandma and the tide was coming in.  I knew I had to go try to find it.

Before I started driving to the beach, I prayed that God would help me.  Then I FB messaged Karyn who posted that her friend lost her grandmother’s ring.  When she called me, she mentioned that she had left, and the lady had left also.  I didn’t have much to go on, but she sent me a picture of where they were parked.

In a short time, I arrived on scene and a group of guys approached me and said, “are you here to look for the ring?”  I was relieved!  They gave me a rough idea of where the ring was lost.

Within 5 minutes I located a great signal with the Minelab Manticore!  It was the ring!  A beautiful 14k gold ring with an inscription from her grandpa to her grandma and the date…June 1941!  This treasure was going back to where it belonged.

The owner, Kym called me later that day and I was able to give it to her a few days after!  She was incredibly grateful.  God is Good!

Lost – Men’s Gold/Platinum Heirloom Ring – Daytona Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Here I was before dawn, on the edge of the ocean looking for a ring that I was not called to find.  On the drive over, I prayed that I could locate the ring.  I had seen it listed on Tuesday evening, but I had to be out of town on Wednesday.  I contacted Allison the previous evening and she said that her husband could call me at 7:30 am.  While I was waiting for the call, I scoured the dead low-tide sand with my trusty Minelab Manticore with the led light on.

When Cody called, he said they were there on Monday and set up between the stairs and ADA walk-down ramp.  They went into the water but not very deep and only went about 50 feet North.  I told him that I was confident that if it was there, I would find it.

I covered all the water areas first because the tide was coming in fast.  I proceeded up the beach and into the area where they had been sitting on the beach.  Nothing but a few coins and some trash.

By this time, it was almost 9 am and I was detecting the area between the stairs for the 3rd time.  As I looked under the stairs, I sensed that I should go to the other side.  An immediate and solid hit!  It was the ring, where it should not have been but was.

All rings have a story and this one was no different; passed down from Allison’s late father!  Later that day I had the privilege to give the ring to Cody!  God is good-he had guided me when I needed him most.

 

Lost – Men’s Gold wedding band, DeLand, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Sunday evening, I got a text from Ron. He was working in his backyard and had lost his gold wedding ring.  Since it was on his property, we agreed to meet in the morning to look for it.

I arrived at Ron’s home, where beautiful oak trees, adorned with Spanish moss, dotted the property.  Ron took me to the back of the lot and showed me an area with some planting beds adjacent to a fence and storage area.  He said he felt it fly but searched and raked to no avail.

I fired up the Minelab Manticore and started the search at the East end of the planting beds.  There were lots of targets, so I decide to walk and cover the entire area without investigating any of the hits.  As I got between the West of the planting bed and the storage area…something caught my eye!  I was looking at the twinkling of the gold ring in the sun.

This ring representing twenty-six years of marriage was a sight find!  I gave the ring to the happy owner!  God is good.

Lost – Men’s 14kt Gold Wedding Band, Daytona Beach, Fl – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Early Friday morning, I got a text from Clay. He was in town for the Daytona races and had played a round of golf the day before. Sometime between the first and fourth hole, his 14-karat gold wedding ring had slipped out of his pocket and vanished.  Only married three months, he did not tell his new bride Maddie.

I told him that when it comes to lost items, time is of the essence. We agreed to meet up soon after. I grabbed my Minelab Manticore and pinpointer, loaded them into my vehicle, and headed out. As I drove, I silently prayed that God would guide me to Clay’s ring.

We met at the clubhouse and began retracing his steps, methodically checking each spot where he had parked and every tee box where he had played. We even scanned the exact areas where he had taken his shots. But after thoroughly combing through it all…no ring. Not willing to give up, we decided to backtrack from the third hole to the first, making sure to stay clear of the golfers still on the course.

At one point, Clay suggested, do you mind walking from here? I’ll head to the third hole and work my way toward you. That way, we can check along the path my golf cart took, just in case the ring slipped out while I was driving.

I said, sounds like a plan, and we split up.

I had just finished searching near the second tee box and was making my way toward the third hole along the edge of the cart path when my detector gave a strong, promising signal. I bent down, brushed aside the grass, and there it was gleaming in the sunlight, half-hidden but unmistakable. Clay’s beautiful gold wedding ring, waiting to be found.  God is good!

Lost – Men’s White Gold, Diamond Wedding Ring, Oviedo, Florida – FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

I received a call from Neil after he called theringfinders.com.  He was distraught after losing his white gold diamond wedding ring. As I was leaving the beach in Daytona, I told him I could be at his home in about two hours after a quick stop at mine. I prayed earnestly for guidance to help me find his ring.

When I arrived at Neil’s home in Oviedo, he took me to his front yard and explained that he had been playing with a dog when the ring went missing. He had checked his doorbell camera, which showed the ring at one point, but later, when he noticed it was gone, he was heartbroken—especially after fifteen years of wearing it.

I powered up my Minelab Manticore and began my search, covering the front yard and some hedges near the porch. I found several targets typical for a residential area, despite my efforts, the ring eluded me. After an hour of searching, I decided to switch to a smaller coil to navigate tighter spots and minimize background noise.

Starting at the edge of the grass by the driveway, I made my way to the sidewalk. Suddenly, I got a strong signal right at the sidewalk’s edge! As I set down my pinpointer, it sounded off, and to my amazement, a beautiful diamond ring rolled out from beneath a clump of grass, glimmering in the sunlight.

Neil was checking his phone for footage from the door camera when I held the ring up between us, saying, “I have a few more questions…” He looked up just in time to see the ring shining in my hand. His eyes widened in disbelief, and joy flooded his expression as I handed it back to him.
