10 Year Service 10k Gold Yellow Ring Lost, West Edmonton Grange District

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

 

On November 4 approximately 6pm  I received a call from Steve, who was understandably concerned after losing his 10K yellow gold company service ring while working in the field servicing irrigation equipment.

Steve told me that the ring most likely slipped off while he was removing his work gloves. Unfortunately, he didn’t realize it was missing until about an hour later. As soon as he noticed, he returned to the area where he had been working and began searching.

Over the next while, Steve thoroughly checked the area and even used a rake to try and uncover the ring. Despite his best efforts, there was no sign of it. Knowing the ring was important to him, he wasn’t ready to give up.

Steve then went online looking for a metal detector rental service and my ring recovery business appeared in his search results. He contacted me, described what had happened, and provided details about the location and circumstances surrounding the loss.

The fact that Steve had a good idea where the ring had likely come off was a huge advantage. I headed out to the site the next afternoon, and after a brief discussion, began a systematic search of the area using specialized metal-detecting equipment.

It didn’t take long before I received a promising signal. Within 30 minutes of arriving, I recovered Steve’s missing 10K yellow gold company service ring and had it back on his finger.

Seeing the relief on someone’s face when a valued item is recovered never gets old. What began as a frustrating day for Steve ended with a successful recovery and a ring safely returned to its owner.

LOST RING PANAMA CITY BEACH…FOUND

  • from Panama City Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Chris called me around 2 on Sunday afternoon. He’d lost his wedding band around 6:30 the evening before, right where the waves were breaking. One detectorist had searched that night, and another had tried the next morning. By the time Chris called me, he was pretty skeptical there was anything left to find.

I was there within an hour. Chris had his doubts, but I felt good about our chances. Twenty minutes after I started searching, his wedding band was back on his finger.

Glad I could help, Chris!

Lost Ring Recovery in Narberth, PA!  How a Systematic Search Saved a Family Heirloom

When a ring goes missing outdoors, finding it can be much harder than most people realize. Grass, leaves, landscaping, mulch, and thick brush can quickly hide a ring from view.

For Andrew in Narberth, Pennsylvania, losing a ring meant much more than losing an expensive piece of jewelry. He had misplaced his father’s University of Pennsylvania class ring, a family heirloom that had been passed down to him.

Here’s how a systematic metal detecting search helped bring this important piece of family history home.

Why Andrew Needed Help Finding His Lost Ring

Andrew had been doing yard work around his home in Narberth, located in Montgomery County, PA, when he discovered that his father’s class ring was missing.

He searched but couldn’t locate it.

With leaves and brush throughout the yard, the ring could have been hidden almost anywhere in the immediate search area.

Rather than continuing to search without specialized equipment, Andrew contacted RingFindersSouthJersey.com.

We discussed what happened and arranged a time to meet at his property.

How Professional Metal Detecting Helps Find Lost Rings

Finding a lost ring requires more than simply walking around with a metal detector.

A good recovery search starts with understanding the circumstances surrounding the loss.

Some important questions include:

  • What was the person doing when the ring went missing?

  • Where was the person working or moving?

  • Was the ring lost in grass, leaves, mulch, or brush?

  • What areas have already been searched?

These details help establish a logical search area.

For Andrew’s recovery, I started with a grid search pattern to systematically cover the suspected location.

This method helps reduce the chance of overlooking an area and allows the search to be conducted in an organized manner.

The Ring Was Hiding Under Leaves and Brush!

As the search continued, I carefully worked through the area, including beneath leaves and around brush.

Then came the signal!

The lost University of Pennsylvania class ring had been located.

What a fantastic result!

Andrew’s father’s class ring was recovered, ending the search with a very happy outcome.

A family heirloom that could have remained lost was safely returned.

Lost a Wedding Ring, Class Ring, or Family Heirloom?

If you’ve lost a ring outdoors, time and careful searching can make a difference.

A metal detecting recovery search may help locate:

  • Wedding and engagement rings

  • Class rings

  • Family heirloom jewelry

  • Gold and silver rings

  • Bracelets and other metal jewelry

  • Other lost metal valuables

Even if you’ve already searched the area yourself, don’t assume the item is gone forever.

LOST IPHONE IN POND NEAR GREENSBORO, NC….FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Alex texted me saying his wife had dropped her cellphone in their family pond while kayaking and asked if I’d be able to come out and try and find it.

Well, not going to lie, after the recent cold snaps I was very hesitant to say yes. I told him as long as it wasn’t over my head I was willing to try.

Alex said the water was chilly and that it was about chest deep water and he had a Life360 last location spot where they think it went into the water.

I told him I would head there after work today and try to fish it out.

I arrive, we jump in a canoe and kayak and paddle across the pond to the spot. I parked the canoe on the edge so I could just walk out to the spot.

About 10 mins later I got a loud can hit and was able to use my feet to push it into my scoop.

Fathers ashes ring recovered

Contact:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was contacted a while back by a gentleman who had lost a very special ring which had been inlaid with  has late fathers ashes in what I presume was a type of resin or mineral.

The gentleman has been carrying out extensive work in his garden which was, lets say in a bit of a state, with debris and trash contaminating the site. There was also remnants of a recent large fire as an area of decking had been removed, so lots of screws and fixings also.

I knew this would be a challenge just by the amount of iron and drinks can remnants in the garden. Maybe because the property was on an approach to a local school.

I rarely use any discrimination while detecting , but this time it was necessary due to the amount of iron.

I was very thorough in my search, going over the entire garden several times over a few hours, so I was getting to thinking this ring wasn’t going to be found, or wasn’t even there.

I then spotted a pebble placed in a flower pot that had been painted with memorial message about his late father. Within a few minutes of seeing the pebble I received a nice clear tone that needed investigating. There it was, pressed into the soft ground, a lovely gold ring with the very special green inlay.

The owner was very pleased to be reunited with this ring, as I was to have recovered it.

Lost Car Keys Found Along US 421 – Lewisville, NC

  • from Winston-Salem (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Tuesday evening, I was forwarded a message from a family who had lost their car keys. They had set the keys on top of the car while securing their young son in his seat, and didn’t realize they were missing until they arrived home, a county away. They had eaten dinner at a local restaurant earlier that evening, so the keys could have fallen anywhere along the way.

I reached out for more details. I didn’t hear back, but the area was a short drive and there was no traffic at that hour, so I went out to look. Unfortunately, I couldn’t locate the keys that night.

Meanwhile, the husband had returned to the restaurant around 9:00 PM. With a flashlight, he walked the roughly one mile to the highway and searched the on-ramp to US 421 before heading home.

This morning I received more details, and my commute to Wilkes county took me the same direction. Entering the highway, I carefully scanned the roadway and the right shoulder. I found the keys six miles from the restaurant, about 200 yards past the Williams road on-ramp on the right side of the road.

The husband came to my office to pick them up. He told me he had first thought I might be a scammer trying to get money out of them, but seeing my photo put that worry to rest. He also said the dealership had quoted a very high price for replacement keys, plus a tow fee and glad to get the keys back.

The family was very thankful, and I was glad to help, especially since I was already in the area.

300 PRC TITANIUM SUPPRESSOR LOST NEAR ELLERBE, NC….FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Well this was an EXTREME first for me!

Got a call from a range safety officer at a near-by long distant gun range. He advised me a gentleman had shot his titanium suppressor off his 300 PRC and it had traveled about 100-150 yards.

The terrain has wash out ditches and briars. “GOOD TIMES!”

So after work, I headed to the range, met up with this gentleman and two other guys that had been searching for it for hours already.

I get set up and start walking and veered to the left of where he shot and there it was! I had searched what these wound ring up as on my XP DEUS II and it told me 88 and above (WRONG) it was a 69/70 VDI. Luckily I saw it! Only took me about 10 mins to find it. I got very lucky to have walked and veered to the left!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from this sweet lady saying she had lost a gold erring while cleaning around a grape vine row. The back had fallen off and unfortunately the gold earring popped out of her ear and into the grass/leaves.

I get the layout and the details. She has the other earring so I used that as my target range. (VDI 30-32)

I get my machine all set up and start down one side and within 10-12 feet I get a hit!!! It was her earring!

I found out it had been lost for about a month after I started my search.

Earring lost at Washington Park in Denver recovered

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:
Sunday night I received a message from Molly stating that she had lost an earring while playing volleyball at a local park. Her grandmother had given her this pair of earrings, so they held a high sentimental value to her. During the game her ear got caught up in the net and pulled the earring off. The people she was playing with stopped and searched for the earring but only found the back of the earring. Molly then purchased a detector and spent a couple of hours more searching with it but had no luck recovering the earring.
I met her the next morning, the temperature was in the low 40’s and it was raining. Molly led me to the location of the volleyball court (marked out with a pile of mushrooms) and explained how the earring went missing and where she had found the earring back. She handed me the remaining earring and then departed as she had to work.
I set up my metal detector, tested the earring and then waited for the rain to let up a bit. After a brief search I heard a good signal, it read just like the test earring and there sticking out of the mud was a hint of gold.
Molly was very happy to get her earrings back.

Lost Gold & Diamonds Sentimental Bracelet at Ala Moana Beach Park…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This Gold & Diamonds Bracelet hunt began Friday afternoon as I was driving home from a Ko Olina hunt, when my phone rang.  Alvin from San Francisco, on his 1st Anniversary vacation said his lovely wife Agnes lost her bracelet the night before as they were walking along Ala Moana Beach after sunset.  My first thought was almost 24 hours have gone by and that beach has many detectorists and foot traffic.  The sand is also very packed and not very soft for the metal to penetrate.  Alvin thankfully was able to retrace their route from his phone.  We met a short time later and I followed Alvin along the path.  The beach was fairly sterile of targets so we got to the area they had stopped and I did a quick grid search in the soft sand there.  I did find a small pendant but no bracelet.  Since I traced my route by dragging my scoop in the sand I went back on the opposite side to expand the path.  We got to the grassy area and I suggested one more lap back on the other side to take care of any GPS position error.  About a third of the way I got a loud low tone and as I looked down I could see the shape of a bracelet just under the sand and gravel where the King Tide had washed ashore the previous night.  I pushed my scoop gently into the sand and Gold and Diamonds appeared in the sunlight.  I was as shocked as Alvin was.  I reached down and picked up the bracelet, wiped it off and handed it to Alvin.  We just witnessed a miracle and blessing.  Had there not been the King Tides the bracelet would have been exposed and easily seen.  Thank you Jesus!  Alvin and Agnes were able to celebrate their 1st Anniversary with the sentimental bracelet her mother had made for her, on her wrist.  Much Aloha to Agnes & Alvin!
