Emily called me in a state of panic because she had lost her two most important personal material possessions: her rose gold 1 carat diamond engagement ring with multiple diamonds surrounding the center stone and all around the band along with her rose gold wedding band with multiple diamonds which nests together with the engagement ring.

Emily shared with me that she had searched for several days looking for her two most important material possessions in the world but all of her efforts led to no avail. The two main areas she looked was at home (where she applied lotion to her child) and along side the softball field where she watched her daughter play her game.

My client did all of the right things but still came up way short of finding the rings. She looked all around the house and nothing was found. She then got a metal detector from a friend and scanned all of the areas where she had been sitting, walking around and taking photos with her phone. Still nothing. She gave the metal detector to several other people and they also could not recover her precious jewelry.

Finally, Emily heard about THE RING FINDERS from somebody on a community forum and immediately reached out to me. I asked her all the questions that I needed answers to in order for me to assess the situation. We then agreed to meet out by the softball field early that evening.

While I drove to the search site to meet up with Emily and her father-in-law, I received a call from my client expressing second thoughts about attempting a recovery of the rings. I asked her why and she shared that after talking with her husband, he suggested that they let go of the search idea and just file an insurance claim. I told Emily that I didn’t understand the reasoning because there was no risk on their part other than my travel fee. And if I did find the rings they would remit the reward value indicated on a form which I had Emily fill out in advance of the search. An amount that we ring finders ask to be fair and reasonable.

I reminded Emily that these were her very rings that her husband Tyler placed on her finger at the moment that she was proposed to and during the wedding ceremony when Emily said, « I do ». I asked, « Why would you not try one more time by hiring a professional ring finder like myself to see if those rings were still there or never there in the first place? » After some more dialogue back and forth between us, Emily decided to move forward with the search!

When we met up at the softball field, Emily introduced me to her father-in-law Steve (who was also unsuccessful metal detecting the grassy areas) and she showed me all of the places where she had been during her daughter’s game. I then got busy by laying grid lines down on the grass right next to the softball field and then began my metal detecting project.

Even though there was a lot of metal that was scattered about on the surface and below the dirt, I am excited to share that I recovered Emily’s beautiful rose gold and diamond filled engagement ring! I found it in the location where she had been sitting on a blanket and had applied sunscreen to her little one during the game. When the game was over, her friend picked up the blanket (not knowing that Emily forgot to put her rings back on) and the irreplaceable keepsake ended up lost in the grass!

Emily and Steve were so very happy to see that amazing looking rose gold and diamond treasure back on Emily’s finger! She was so grateful for my work and my client was beyond happy that she had ultimately decided to listen to my plea to not cancel the search but to allow me to metal detect the area just to make certain of whether or not it was there or not! Yes, she was very grateful that I lobbied hard to convince Emily to keep with the vision in having me help her find her so very special rings! Indeed, my client truly made the right choice in the end and her husband Tyler was also glad that his wife didn’t listen to his advice to « abandon ship »!

Emily had to leave the school yard to take her husband on a birthday getaway. So Steve stayed with me and I continued to search for the missing rose gold and diamond wedding ring.

(This concludes PART 1 of the search. Stay tuned for the conclusion of this wonderful ring search story!)
