Wedding Band Lost on Band Practice Field…FOUND by Ring Finder in Madison, AL!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee…call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7…610-504-6135

Friday at noon (September 1, 2023), I received a text message from Leigh stating she had lost her wedding band while painting lines on a band practice field at a local High School in Madison, Alabama.  She had gotten paint on her ring, so she took it off and put it in her pants pocket.  When she finished and had gotten back to her car, the ring was no longer in her pocket.  I was off from work, so I was able to head there shortly after Leigh’s text message.

Leigh had told me that she thought it would be around the 50-yard line.  I started my search there with my Minelab Equinox 800 with the 15-inch coil.  I searched all the painted lines, but did not find her ring.  I went back to the 50-yard line and expanded my search.  Soon after, I had found Leigh’s ring!  It had rolled to the middle of the field between the 50 and the 40-yard lines.  Leigh texted that she had just finished teaching her class and was on her way down.  When she got there, she asked if I had any luck.  I opened up my hand and said, “is this it?”  It was and she was so happy to see it!  She thanked me numerous times.  She told me that on Sunday it would be her 1-year anniversary.  Happy anniversary!!!

Another successful recovery, and I give all praise and glory to God!  I’m always happy to help and I’m really blessed being able to go on these searches and help others!  Looking forward to the next adventure…

Lost Diamond Earring Found Inside House, Grosse Ile Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

A Diamond & the Ruff….

…..got a call from Vinnie that said his wife lost one of her diamond earrings and felt it was somewhere in the house. Sometime around 2am their dog was fussing about something so Claire got up and first went into the bathroom then headed in the dark to let the dog out into the backyard. Claire laid down on the couch for a few minutes and the dog finally returned. Returning to bed all was well until awakening and realizing the earring was missing. After chatting a bit to get more details, I did a walkthrough of the route that was taken to let the dog out. Visually not seeing anything, I started to scan the couch area with my orange Garrett carrot pin-pointer metal detector. Between 2 cushions I got a signal. Separating the cushions, I saw the earring stuck between them! Yelling to Claire that I found one of her best friends she came running over to reunite! Even though diamonds are formed under great pressure, when my Orange Garrett « karat » is under pressure, it makes finds that are a cut above the rest!

A Lost Diamond Earring was Found in the Grass! Niantic, CT

  • from Westerly (Rhode Island, United States)

A lost diamond earring was found in the grass in Niantic, CT. The owner of the lost diamond earring was playing with the young family member when she felt the earring get pulled from her ear. The natural reaction is to grab for the ear, and good thing she did because she was able to catch the earring back. BUT not the gold and diamond stud. She helplessly watched the diamond earring roll down the front of the little girl’s dress and into the grass. This particular woman was a repeat customer, so she knew the drill! She planted a marking flag and called me right away to look for the lost diamond earring. Stud earrings only have a bit of metal, so the detection equipment must be very sensitive. I have an XP DEUS with a high-frequency coil used for gold prospecting, so I had the right equipment for this job. The very first signal was the lost diamond earring. Before picking it up, I noticed it worked its way down into the base of the grass and was pressing up against the soil. Here is the link for the rings I found for her back in July 2019 –  https://theringfinders.com/blog/Keith.Wille/2019/07/lost-ring-niantic-connecticut-found/

Lost Gold Wedding Band Found in the Yard! Westbrook, CT

  • from Westerly (Rhode Island, United States)

A lost gold wedding band was found in the yard in Westbrook, CT. Matt was cleaning the pool vacuum and went to toss some debris into the yard when he felt his gold wedding band slip off. The corner of the grassy backyard was a small area bordered by green bushes and a fence, so the search area was very small. Matt suspected the 10′ x 12′ area would be easy to search and find the lost wedding band with a Walmart metal detector. After 6 hours of searching, Matt could not understand why he wasn’t finding the wedding band. Blaming cheap detection equipment and being inexperienced with a metal detector, he found my website, rediscoverlost.com, and contacted me. I quickly followed Matt’s footsteps and covered the grassy area near the pool and under the bushes – no wedding band! Experience tells me most lost wedding bands are not in the exact spot where the owners thought they were. Thinking outside the box, I figured there was a chance Matt used more force than he realized and slung the heavy gold wedding band completely through the bushes and onto the other side of the fence. I walked around the garage and began to scan the grass on the other side. The first signal rang loud, so I knew the object was on the surface. I parted the grass and saw bright gold shining through the blades. Found it! Matt’s wedding band flew 10 feet further than he thought and through a set of bushes and a fence!

Lost Engagement Ring Found on the Road! Attleboro, MA

  • from Westerly (Rhode Island, United States)

A lost engagement ring was found on the road in Attleboro, MA. The family dog escaped into the front yard, and Mom pursued! After the front yard scuffle, she realized her engagement ring was gone! The whole family scoured the yard on their hands and knees for days with no luck in finding the lost ring. I arrived a few days after the loss, and we recapped the escaped pooch saga. Hours of searching left my wife Allie and me empty-handed. In hot pursuit of the dog, Mom must have taken a couple of steps into the street, and at that moment, the ring slipped off. The lost engagement ring was found, but the main diamond was missing from being run over by cars.

Truro, MA Lost Car Key, Found, and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

August 30, 2023: Luke Berube was overloaded with work and called me to help him out by taking on a search/recovery of a lost car key. As RingFinders do, I answered the call setup a time for a search. Also as usual my detecting partner, Leighton Harrington, was contacted to go on the search as two detectors can make for a faster and more complete search for a lost object. His company also makes for a more enjoyable ride to and from the detecting site. The weather forecast for rain and wind did not deter our effort.

It seams Cal had a great time on the beach and his enthusiasm did not stop until he reached his car at the end of the day. He was lucky enough to have a spare key but his mother was adamant about finding the key that was lost somewhere between the beach and car, more than likely in the sandy path going over the dune.

Several family and friends searched for the key even using a rake over the entire path. The key was not found. What was found was a link to TheRingFinders.com and a call was made. Now two days after the loss, the detecting search was on. The path was nice clean, soft sand, a pleasure to walk on and dig in. After two trash targets I had a large signal and it was deep according to my detector’s ID screen. After four scoops, I was about to give up but instead I took another slow sweep and then a pinpoint reading. With that information I placed my scoop and stood on it to get to a depth of 8 inches. Lifting the scoop in a sweeping arc, I saw a little blue flash. It was the quick disconnect and attached to it was the missing key.

It was difficult to comprehend how the key got so deep in the sand. Best theory is that the foot traffic, raking action, along with blowing sand over the past two days caused the key to be so deep in the sand.

It was a pleasure meeting Cal’s father and relating a few stories. Cal was at the terminal waiting on the arrival of his girl friend. As we ended up with thanks and good-byes a drizzle started to fall and then the rain came. Perfect timing to a perfect return.

Lost Ring in Chestnut Hill – Philadelphia…Found!

  • from Ambler (Pennsylvania, United States)

I reached out to Rick after losing my ring at a 4th of July party, back in my hometown of Philadelphia.  He was scheduled to come out the next day, yet the weather did not cooperate.  Since I no longer live in the Philly area, I unfortunately had to wait until Labor for a redo.  Rick came out to the spot on the property where I knew I lost my ring, and in 30 seconds the ring was found.  Thank you again for communicating with me and for locating my ring – very happy!

Lost ring throwing football, Orange Beach – FOUND!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

The other day I got a late message from Randi asking for help over in Orange Beach. Her husband Brayden was throwing a ball out in the Gulf and when the ball hit his left hand he watched as his wedding band dropped into the Gulf. They enlisted the help of some friends to look for an hour but didn’t have any success. When I spoke to Randi on the phone I told her that was my specialty and I’d be glad to help. That afternoon I drove over to Orange Beach and realized that it was at Romar House. They are wonderful people there and sure enough when I went inside they remembered me helping some other guests and immediately gave me a temporary parking pass. When I came back out I met Brayden and he quickly filled me in and explained that he had only been married since October. I told him that we had to find his ring and it was so new it was still shiny. 😃 When we got to the beach, Randi and several of their friends were lined up in their chairs ready to watch “the show”. I waded out with Brayden and one of his buddies waved us a bit more East. I took about 4 more steps to the East and then based on the tide charts, I took three more steps to the South and yelled over to Brayden not to move so I had a reference point. I literally went about 5 feet and heard a great tone. I got it on the first scoop and yelled over to Brayden, “It’s that easy” with a big smile. I didn’t realize that Randi was videoing but it definitely shows the excitement better than I can explain it. Thanks Brayden and Randi for trusting me. Now you have an awesome story for the rest of your long and happy marriage.

Lost White Gold and Diamonds Engagement & Wedding Bands at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a call from Daveta who was very stressed out that she just lost her White Gold & Diamonds Wedding & Engagement Rings in Ulua Lagoon at Ko Olina Resort.  Daveta and her family were visiting from New York City and enjoying some time at the resort.  While coming ashore a wave slammed into Daveta, knocked her down and both her rings came off in shallow water along the shoreline.  Several beachgoers tried to assist with the find but it was hopeless in the soft sand.  Daveta told one of the Aloha Security Mobile Patrols and they told her, « We got a guy named Joe that can help you and we’ll get you his number. »  I told Daveta traffic was backed up but as soon as it eased up a bit I’d head over and do a hunt before the sun went down.  The normal 40 minute drive took over an hour and a half but I still had plenty of daylight left.  I took the pictures Daveta sent me and lined up the grid markers.  I started on the North Side and worked South.  On the third leg of the grid I got an awesome tone with two targets and I knew I was on the spot.  In one scoop, both of Daveta’s gorgeous rings were glistening in the scoop.  I went to my car and texted Daveta the good news.  As you can see in the pic Daveta came over to my home for the return.  Vacation saved!  Aloha to Daveta and her wonderful family!
