Lost and Found in Berkeley backyard

  • from Pacifica (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from a young husband and new father saying that his wife had recently lost her ring in their backyard.
I drove out to their lovely Craftsman-era rental in Berkeley after work and went to work. This young couple, tired in their new roles as parents, were distraught over the loss of the ring.
When looking for lost items like rings, it is important that I get all of the information before beginning my search. Where were you sitting/standing when it fell off? What were you doing? Where did you hear it land or bounce?

We all believed it was most likely under the porch and that when it flew off of her finger it hit the deck and slipped between boards. I spent several hours under the deck sweeping away leaves, clearing out wire, nails, and other metal odds and ends and yet I could not locate the ring.

It was getting dark so I offered to return on the next available day as they were heading out of town. The following Tuesday I was back out and determined to find it. On this second trip I knew I had to think outside the box. I sat on the porch where she had been sitting when she lost the ring, imitating her movements from that evening, and even spent a little while under the porch again, this time with her help. During the week between my visits the Meyer lemon trees in the planter at the end of the deck were trimmed back a bit making it easier for me to really get in there with minimal pokes and pricks from the thorny branches. The planter was rotting and there were many gaps for items to fall into so I concentrated on these areas. I was running out of options and I really hate not being able to successfully return an item that I am called out to find. Digging through rotted wood, leaves and the odd ping pong ball, I reached down and pulled out this beautiful gold ring.

In the end, it was less about having a metal detector, and more about perseverance. People often think it will take mere minutes to locate their lost items with a metal detector. Many people give up within the first 20 minutes and I have to encourage them to let me keep working. Sometimes they leave me, thinking they will never see their precious item again. But if the item is there, I will find it.

LOST A RING IN LONGPORT, NJ?

CALL NOW!

215-850-0188

Laine and Mitch were enjoying a beautiful summer day on the beach in Longport, NJ—relaxing, soaking in the sun, and making memories. At some point during their time by the water, Laine had Mitch’s wedding band on her finger, keeping it safe while they swam and played in the sand. But in a split second, that small gesture turned into a stressful moment neither of them expected.

 

While brushing sand off her hands or perhaps during a casual gesture, Laine accidentally flung her hand—and with it, Mitch’s ring. It flew through the air and disappeared into the soft, dry sand. At first, they both thought it would be easy to spot, but as they searched and sifted, it became clear the ring had vanished. Minutes turned into over an hour, and the frustration started to set in. What began as a perfect beach day quickly took a turn.

 

Not ready to give up, Laine began searching online for a solution. That’s when she came across my website—RingFindersSouthJersey.com—and gave me a call. I was already nearby, so I headed straight to Longport to help.

 

When I arrived, I asked Laine and Mitch a few quick questions about how and where the ring might have come off. They had done a great job narrowing down the area, which made my job easier. I turned on my metal detector and began sweeping over the sand where the ring was last seen.

 

To everyone’s surprise—including mine—it only took one swing of the detector before I heard that sweet tone. I knelt down, pushed aside some sand, and there it was—Mitch’s wedding band! It had only been inches beneath the surface, but just far enough to stay hidden from plain sight.

 

The look of relief on their faces said it all. Mitch smiled from ear to ear, and Laine couldn’t stop thanking me. It was a simple recovery, but for them, it meant everything. That ring held sentimental value and symbolized something far greater than just jewelry—it was their commitment to each other.

 

Another successful ring recovery in Longport, NJ, and another happy couple reunited with their lost treasure. Whether it’s a beach in Longport, Ocean City, or anywhere in South Jersey, I’m always ready to help bring your lost items back where they belong.

If you’ve lost a ring or valuable item in the sand or surf, don’t panic. Give me a call at Ring Finders South Jersey I’ll do everything I can to recover what you thought was lost forever.

Platinum Wedding Band Lost While Cutting Yard-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Kevin had contacted me and said he had lost his wedding band in the yard while cutting the grass. They had looked for it for a couple of days but the weeds in that area were quite tall and finding a ring visually was out of the question. I found the ring in an area where the weeds were around eight inches tall. Total search time was around an hour.

Gold Wedding Band Lost Right After Wedding-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Linsey called me and said they had held a wedding venue in their yard for their daughter and son-in-law. Her yard was quite large and her son-in-law had lost his ring right after the wedding. She had purchased a metal detector but struck out.  Because of the size of the yard I set up a grid search and it took me all of two hours before I found it. Her daughter and son-in-law were out of town at the time.

Trashy Site Recovery

  • from Chicago (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

Lost his wedding ring in a park area around Foster Ave Beach in Chicago. He rented a detector to try and find it himself, unfortunately he did not have any success, which is pretty common when they have no experience with a detector and the area to be hunted is loaded with trash as this was. When he called and told me he did not find it I decided to give it a shot, very happy to say I got lucky and got to add another Happy ending!!

Gold Ring Lost While Gardening

  • from Pacifica (California, United States)
Contact:

A lovely couple reached out to me about a gold wedding band that had been lost while gardening in their backyard. I got their details and went to their house as soon as I could. I swung around their lovely backyard for a while in the area they thought it would be. I found a couple of coins and then came across the ring in a small pile of dirt that had been shoveled out of a hole while they were planting some new flowers. And voila! The ring was found. Such a joyous reaction!

LOST WEDDING BAND IN NEW IBERIA, LA.-FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Lani’s husband lost his black tungsten wedding band in a field near their home. They searched with and without a metal detector for a week. I got the call, and once I had an understanding of the job, made the 45-minute trip to the location. I met with Lani to go over the area where the ring was lost. I laid out a search area of about 1000 square feet. The first half was dry, the second had 1″ of water with the grass being about 4 inches tall. The whole area was trash-free, so all sounds were taken seriously.  About halfway thru the second half (the wet one) I got a strong 48 reading on my Garrett. Had to move grass and poke around with the pin-pointer for the ring.  Lani was very happy and so was I. Thank you, Lani, for the generous reward.

Lost Gold Wedding Band in the Flower Bed-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by Addison and she said her Grandfather had lost his wedding band in the yard while pulling weeds. It was a two and a half hour trip to Nashville from here, but well worth the trip. Peter said he was pulling weeds in the front flower bed for most of the afternoon and it was after dark, around ten oclock before he noticed his white gold band was gone. He went back out and looked for it but didn’t see it.  After pulling the weeds and putting them in a wheelbarrow he rolled it to the back end of the lot to dump it out, so I had several places to search. I started in the lawn area bordering the bed and frankly, that is where I expected to find it. Not finding it there I went into the bed and did find numerous peices of scrap aluminum and metal that was close to the surface.  About 3/4 of the way through the bed my Manticore locked onto a solid 15 in all directions and it was also close to the surface. The soil was soft so I just rubbed the surface area of the ground from over the signal and I saw the glint of white gold shining at me. That’s what I saw in the attached photo with my finger pointing at it. It was totally buried so he would not have seen it. The search time was around 30-40 minutes.

Lost Gold Watch Bezel-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by a guy that does professional yard services and he had lost the bezel from his watch in a client’s yard while trimming the shrubs. The bezel was custom made gold with diamonds. He was working the day of the search and not able to be there with me. He had given me the address of his customer and they knew I was coming. This search to me nearly two hours of searching because the detector coil would not fit down in the shrubbery so I had to search a lot of it visually. I eventually found the bezel way up under a low growing Japanese maple tree. It was lying face down and very difficult to see in the mulch, but my detector saw it clearly.

Lost Ring in Backyard-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by Jessica to find her husband’s ring he had lost in the backyard while throwing balls for his dog. Along the way they had borowwed a metal detector to look for it themselves, but they didn’t know how to use it, so they hid her ring in the grass to test it out and see what it sounded like, and that’s where it got more complicated. The detector and their ears were overloaded with all the metal in the ground they didn’t know was there. Then they couldn’t find her ring either. That’s when she contacted me.  They had marked out a spot where she thought her ring would be, and it was a fairly small area, maybe six feet by four feet. I covered that area quickly and no ring, so I expanded the search area to beyond where she had marked out.  I had made one pass, turned around to parallel my path and I was facing the sun. After two steps I caught a relection in the grass of something silver colored before my coil passed over it. It was her ring. The entire search for her ring was less than ten minutes. While I was talking with her and taking a couple of photos the sun was directly in my eyes so I shifted position a little.  When she was looking at me I noticed she had fixed her attention to somewhere over my right shoulder. She said hold on a minute, and took off to the side of the yard and came back with his ring. If my memory serves me correctly it was dark colored, titanium maybe.  From the position we were standing she happened to see it laying on the ground in a clear area that was free of grass. So both rings were recovered in around fifteen minutes.
