Man’s Wedding Ring Lost, Orlando, Florida…..Found!
Ever had the hankering for a good ol food fight? Well Josh had volunteered to help out his church youth group and that is exactly what was planned for the main event. It was outdoors on a large patch of thick Florida crab grass that the food flinging free-for-all took place. They had a great time throwing all sorts of stuff back and forth and it wasn’t until they began hosing each other off that Josh realized his ring was not on his finger.
The following day Josh decided to rent a metal detector and spent the next two days searching the thick grass without success. During his search to rent a detector Josh found theringfinders.com on line and gave me a call and explained his dilemma. I assured him that I would be more than happy to meet him and look for his ring and encouraged him to call me after he returned the rental.
Two days later Josh called and we agreed to meet at the « food fight site »! He showed me where the different stations were set up and then ended by explaining that the shaving cream fight mainly covered a certain area off to one side. So I set up my flags outlining the key areas and began systematically searching. I found a ton of pennies, which I found out later were also used during the event! It took about an hour and then came the magic moment! There was Josh’s ring, all caked in dried shaving cream and just waiting to be found. I immediately cleaned the ring with my drinking water and then texted Josh with the Good News!
Thank you Josh for your generous reward and keep up the good work with the kids!
If you need help finding your lost jewelry please give me a call–ASAP!

Friday morning I received a phone call from Marilyn asking if I would help her find a very special ring. As I listened to her story I could not help but hear the pain and disappointment in her voice as she explained the details. Earlier in the week the family was down at the beach, swimming and enjoying the beautiful Daytona Beach sand and surf, when Chante noticed that her anniversary ring was missing from her finger. They tried searching for the ring but soon realized the futility of such a search and then one of the family members thought to purchase a metal detector. They tried the detector but were unable to get it to work properly. They had been taking pictures all day and soon figured out that Chante had her ring on when she went into the water but no longer had the ring when she came out of the water carrying her surf board. The next step was the web and during her search she came across the ring finders. She told me that after reading some of the recovery stories under my blog she knew right away that I was the one to call. (That sure made me feel good!!) So during our phone conversation I realized that « Time was of the essence » and the sooner I got out there and started searching the better.
How many people have been given a very special gift only to loose it shortly after receiving it? Jared got a unique gift from his mother for Christmas–a silver pendant– and lost it two days later while playing soccer! He is a good friend of mine and knows that I enjoy helping people find their lost rings and things. And the field where he lost his pendant is just across the street from where we live so I figured in my spare time I could begin a grid search of the 70X50 yard field. So early the next evening I set up my Whites DFX in Coin and Jewelry mode and started down the middle of the field. And as it was a very recent drop and the pendant being silver I figured it would give a loud signal and be just under the grass. Sure enough on my 5th pass down center field, there hidden in the grass was Jared’s pendant! So glad to help out and thanks Jared for the reward!
Monday morning I received a call from Andrew who asked me if I could help him find his wedding ring. Apparently while digging for shells in the shallows of the intercoastal water way he realized his ring was no longer on his finger where it had been for the last 5 years! Andrew purchased a new metal detector and spent a fair amount of time looking for his ring but only found a few sinkers and soda cans. So he began searching on the computer for information on how to find a lost ring and he came across www.theringfinders.com !
