Edgewater Florida Lost gold heirloom ring found by Florida Ring Finder Mike McInroe!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Over 160 years ago Mrs Kelly’s great great grandmother was given a very special thick banded gold wedding ring and for all these years it has been in the family and passed down from one generation to another and Mrs Kelly has been planning on passing it down to her children. Mrs Kelly absolutely loves working in her yard planting flowers and tropical plants of all kinds and a couple of weeks ago she realized her gold heirloom ring was missing from her finger. She normally wears her ring all the time but she recently noticed that it was a little loose fitting and thought of getting it resized. Her dear husband came to the rescue and tried his best to find her lost ring…even going so far as to buy a metal detector and even hired a couple of his workers to do a thorough search of the yard. All the while Mrs Kelly was very upset and troubled that her lost ring could not be found. Then one day a plumber friend suggested getting a professional metal detectorist and that led them to theringfinders.com. After meeting Mr Graig and seeing their back yard I realized that I was in for a tough challenge. I began systematically searching the grass, the bushes, the stones and around each bush beginning from the side and making my way towards the back. As I reached the middle of the back yard I was swinging my coil along a small wall of bricks and my detector gave a small chirp and as I peered over the edge I could just make out a small circle on the mulch. Bending closer I could see that it was Mrs Kelly’s lost ring just lying there waiting to be found. And Oh…was Mr Craig surprised that I actually found his wife’s lost gold heirloom ring!

I always want to give God the credit for helping me find a lost item and for leading me to those particular individuals who need my special and unique service! How can I help you? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk!

I was out on a search for someone’s well when I got a message from someone who had lost his wedding ring in the snow. So, I messaged back that I could come this evening.

When I got there he showed me the area and explained that he had been sweeping snow off a car and doing a little shoveling during the large snowstorm we had a few days ago. He had also taken off his gloves a couple times to shake the snow off.

So, we got started. We had lost a lot of snow, which helped speed up the search. After getting a few false alarms from foil wrappers, I got a good signal. I moved some leaves and there was his ring! It was still in perfect condition, but nearly had been driven over.

He was so happy and couldn’t wait to tell his wife!

Lost Gold Signet Ring In The Snow Mill Woods, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Jessica contacted me yesterday seeking assistance in locating her late father’s in-law gold Signet ring, which was passed down to his son and subsequently to Jessica 5 days ago..

While Jessica was retrieving garbage from the office and transporting it to the back dumpster, she lifted the lid and felt the ring fall off her finger. She believed the ring had fallen into the dumpster. Jessica and a few colleagues emptied and searched the contents of the dumpster without success.

I agreed to conduct a search and met Jessica at her office. She demonstrated how the ring had fallen off her finger, leading her to believe it had entered the dumpster. However, I observed that the ring could not have fallen into the dumpster.

To determine the ring’s potential range, I provided Jessica with a test ring. The ring’s trajectory indicated that I should search the back of the dumpster. I conducted a search in that area, but no results were found. I then searched the front of the dumpster without success.

Next, I initiated a search of the parking lot adjacent to the dumpster, approximately 6 feet away. I detected a Very shallow Signal (VDI) of 70 on my detector and with the only signal in the area, buried in about 2” of packed snow I found her ring.

Jessica was ecstatic that the ring was once again back on her finger.

Thank you Jessica for entrusting me to locate your ring,

Edmonton Weather yesterday -27C with a windshield of -34C

Why buy or rent a Metal Detector when you can hire a Metal Detecting specialist with over 50 years of xperence… this young man bought two metal detectors and search for five hours with no luck, he then found me on my directory TheRingFinders and the Smile has been recorded.

Last night after getting back from a beach hunt just after midnight I received a call from a young man who told me his wife had lost a gold and diamond Cartier earring. He wanted to see if I was interested in going out that evening after (Midnight) to look for it on Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver.

After talking about the search, I decided to hit it early in the morning, I knew it was gonna be cold and snowy and where he described she lost it, there was no hurry to get there before the snow ploughs or anybody else finding it.

When I arrived and met the young man,  he put me in a great area and I started to do my grid search. The conditions were tough as it froze and the snow was pretty hard packed. After close to an hour, I received a great signal and I chipped away at the snow and ice and found her beautiful diamond earring. As a matter of fact all I saw was the gold post of the earring in the s, after surprising, the young man, we decided to take it to the washroom and use a hot water to melt away the ice and snow. The earring was in perfect condition and back to its owner.

Received a text from a very nice young lady asking for help.  Her husband lost his white gold ring the night before while taking out the trash.  He thought he lost it in the snow between the trash can and the mailbox when he took off his gloves.  He was right!  Not much fun hunting when its nine degrees, but finding the ring made it great.

Lost ring thrown from vehicle, Orlando Florida, found and returned to owner!

Call an experienced professional metal detectorist for help locating a lost ring in the sand, in the grass, in the water, in the park, in your car or in your yard! My name is Mike McInroe and I am here to help you! Call or text me ASAP at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Albert and his girl friend were finishing eating some fast food and as they were heading back to their hotel for the night Albert decided to throw a small piece of trash out of the sun roof and as he let fly the trash object he felt his heavy gold and diamond ring fly off of his finger as well and a slight click was heard. Immediately he pulled his truck to the side of the road and they began scanning the grass and roadside with the lights on their phones! It was 2:30am and after an hour or so of desperate searching they became very frustrated and upset…especially Albert because this was a very special and expensive ring. They called me the next day and I met them at the location and I searched high and low but could not locate his lost ring. I asked Albert if he had searched inside his truck and he assured me that he had. After an hour and a half I mentioned again that there was a good possibility that his ring could have fallen inside his truck somewhere. Albert had searched the inside but only quickly the night before and so another search was done in the daylight and to his great surprise there it was tucked down in a corner safe and sound! Albert was thrilled and so happy to have his lost ring back once again and was all smiles!
How can I help you?

Sentimental Gold Ring Lost in Snow – Recovered in Coon Rapids, Minnesota

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:
I received a call from a gentleman in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, who had lost two precious rings three days earlier. We all know that heart-sinking feeling when something near and dear to us goes missing—or we’ve seen it happen to someone we care about. He managed to recover one ring fairly quickly, but the second one remained elusive. He’d already put in over six hours searching through the snow without success. Frustrated, he even purchased a metal detector from Harbor Freight, only to find it added to his challenges rather than solving them. Many people who lose a ring rush to buy, rent, or borrow a metal detector, assuming they’ll just turn it on and it will beep right over their lost item. While that can happen, more often newcomers are overwhelmed by the constant signals from metal debris in the ground. Anywhere people frequently pass—sidewalks, yards, parks—you’ll encounter pull tabs, foil, nails, and cans. All of that beeps! The real skill in metal detecting lies in experience: interpreting tones, distinguishing trash from treasure, and pushing through the learning curve. As I often tell people, « If you wouldn’t bend over to pick up a penny you spot on the sidewalk, metal detecting might not be for you. » Digging a penny from 3-4 inches deep trains you to recognize those subtle differences—iron grunts differently from a gold ring, which can sound similar to a pull tab. When you’ve just lost a sentimental item, that’s not the ideal time to learn a new detector. That’s when calling an experienced detectorist makes all the difference. In this case, as I entered the search area he’d been working, the very first strong, repeatable tone I got was just inches from where he’d been focusing. The signal was clean and promising—I suspected it was the ring, though you never know until you dig (it could have been junk like part of a muffler). I pinpointed it, gently raked through the crusted snow with a small hand tool, moved about an inch and a half of snow, and there it was: the beautiful gold sheen of his sentimental ring. The recovery took less than two minutes from start to finish. Not every search is this quick—many require hours of patient gridding and digging trash targets. But after enough hunts, you earn those occasional « easy » wins. They’re the ones you appreciate most, because you know the next call might demand far more effort. I was thrilled to return this very meaningful ring to its owner and see the relief on his face. These reunions are why so many of us love being part of TheRingFinders.com—helping preserve irreplaceable stories and memories. If you’ve lost a ring or jewelry in snow, grass, water, or anywhere else, don’t wait—contact a local Ring Finder today!

Jessica called a bit upset because she had just lost her custom made diamond halo ring in her yard only 30 minutes before, and was not able to find it. I tried to see if it was possible to help over the phone, and she tried , but still was unable to find it. It was already dark, and because it was her yard I knew it wasn’t going anywhere, so we arranged to have me come and do a search the next day.

As I was driving up to her house, I did not realize how steep the properties were, so I began to really think about how I was going to do the search. I found the house, and Jessica took me to the back yard where she explained that she was removing the cover from one of her patio chairs, when with the flick of her finger the ring came off in the dark. She heard it ping on the brick deck, and it was gone. I did a visual check of the deck, and there were very few places the ring could have went. Then I looked over the deck railing, and there was about a 20 foot drop with one foot terraces at 3 foot intervals with different types of plants growing. I could see where Jessica had been looking on the first terrace  because the tall decorative grass was flattened from her walking on it. Because the grass was so thick I made sure to search it diligently, but no ring. I then moved to the second terrace, and within a couple of minutes found her very pretty ring. I held it up for her which made her very happy. She then told me it was also her birthday, which made this recovery very special.

Meaghan contacted me wanting help in finding her daughter’s lost ring. Her daughter was playing with some friends in the grass of their yard when while making a spin, her ring flew off of her finger, and was lost in the thick grass. We arranged to meet, and I arrived at the time set.

When I arrived Meaghan met me at her gate, and took me to the back yard of her house. She showed me where the girls were playing when the loss occurred, and explained how they had searched extensively for the ring, but with no luck. I turned on my detector to begin the search, and she went in to the house telling me to let her know if I find the ring. I began my search, and after about 3 passes in the small area, I found the small ring. I went to the door, and let her know, to which she replied, « It hasn’t even been 5 minutes. » She was very happy to have it back, and it was nice to have another successful recovery.
