Give us a call what do you have to lose when you have lost everything to a tornado. Nick and his daughter lost their home to a tornado. Yes 12 rings are fun to find but the sentimental items are tops. Of the items I was able to find, the 1908 1/4 gold eagle that was his dad’s was my favorite. 2nd would be the firefighter hat badge of Nicole’s grandfather. Pictured below are some of the items I was able to find. Rob 402-580-6933

The Ring finders is quickly becoming a name in Elkhorn Nebraska. I was contacted by Beth to see if I could find anything after the tornado took their house away. There were some specific items that she informed me of and I went to work mapping out the debris field . One of the first items recovered was a key fob with a tile that they couldn’t find by tracking it. The video below tells the story and shows the items and what they mean to her.

Rings returned that tornado took away.

Debbie lost all she had when a tornado wiped out her neighborhood. Ever since that event I have been advertising The Ring Finders on all the social media pages directed at the victims. We were able to return not only many sentimental items but also some rings, one being from her parents as a graduation gift in 1977. We will continue the effort in her neighborhood as long as people request.

Went back while doing another house nearby and found another ring, 925 and some more jewelry.

Found class ring and tassel after a tornado took the house away.

While working with a neighborhood that was hit by a tornado, I found a matching class ring and then a tassel 2 houses away and 300’ apart. I had been advertising The Ring Finders directory on social media heavily after the tornadoes and have been busy taking calls. These two things are the only things Kris has back after her house was literally picked up and carried away. Terry her husband met me out by what used to be their house to get the items and take them to Kris. My heart goes out to all the tornado victims.

Ring found through teamwork! Omaha Nebraska

  • from Lincoln (Nebraska, United States)
Contact:

I was busy out of town metal detecting some properties that got hit by recent tornadoes helping recover anything I could. My phone rang and Amy found me on The Ring Finders directory and asked if I had time to help her. 25 minutes later we were talking, laying out cones and grid lines in the ballpark where she lost her ring. Because of the design of the ring it was extremely difficult to get a strong signal. Long story short she went back home with it on her finger, exactly how we want these stories to end.

Tornado destroys house and I’m asked to help find anything.

Chelsea and her two young boys huddled together in the basement as tornado sirens blared. When the smoke had cleared they crawled out of the basement now owning nothing but the clothes they had on. Everything gone. When I saw what had happened across Nebraska I didn’t wait, I started advertising The Ring Finders and soon I started getting hooked up with people who had lost everything. I set out to find as many sentimental and personal items as possible. I made no promises other than to give it my best shot. I made a video so people can see the devastation of the tornadoes and the capabilities of an experienced metal detectorist. My heart goes out to every victim of the tornadoes. I was able to recover 5 of her rings, along with other items that meant a lot to her.

Lost tungsten wedding ring recovered Tilden Nebraska

Contact:

Kati had posted in her small town social media site about needing help to find her husbands lost wedding ring. Chris was working in the back yard doing some demolition work when he put his ring in his pocket to keep it safe. Later when he got in the house and reached in to put his ring back on, you guessed it, it was not there. Julie a lady who grew up in Tilden, looked me up and asked if I could help. This is true small town comradeship. I said I’d love to come find it for them. I took a special road trip for this recovery, video below. I respect if people don’t want to have their picture taken with their ring, what matters is we got it back and made some smiles. Thanks Kati and Chris for entrusting the recovery of the ring to me.

Jeff was working in his garden last fall when he noticed his wedding ring of 33 years was not on his finger. They had spent many hours over the last few months searching for it with no success. He then turned to the internet where he came across Theringfinders.com . The rest is history.

Lost engagement ring recovered using teamwork. Lincoln, Nebraska

  • from Lincoln (Nebraska, United States)
Contact:

Moira got ahold of me and said she had noticed on Saturday at the 6th hole of a golf course that her irreplaceable engagement ring was not on her finger. I asked when was the last time she knew she had it. She said Wednesday night. Wow we were looking at a big window with lots of real estate. We talked for over an hour, narrowing down places to look and shortening the timeline. I agreed to meet at her house the next day. We talked about things she was going to look through in her house and I was going to work the outside, detecting and endoscoping her car. She went inside and I started to set up a grid to cover every square inch of where she threw balls for her two dogs. After some time she appeared outside with a big beautiful. She had found it while going through some places she had ran her hands. This truly was a great example of what teamwork with an experienced Ring Finder can accomplish.
