How To Find Two Lost Wedding Rings In Airway Heights Parks….Found It!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

Christmas Eve was a sunny day. The temperature has been mild for this time of year, so being outside is what us Washingtonians do on days like that. With the eight-acre park right behind Tyler’s house beckoning Tyler and his family to come outside and play, the family made their way outside to enjoy the weather. Both Tyler and his wife had the mind set to not lose their wedding rings. So, the couple took off their rings and placed them in their jacket pockets. Then the unthinkable happened. When the fun was over the pair reached inside their pockets only to find them empty. The worst present ever was given to them, the feeling of a lost ring. With a glimmer of hope Tyler knew their rings had to be sitting in the grass somewhere. After recalling his knowledge for using metal detectors in the 90’s, he made his way to Harbor Freight to buy a metal detector.  After swinging the detector around for two days. Tyler had enough and turned to Google to find a professional. After we spoke on the phone, I quickly got myself together and made my way to Tyler’s house. Tyler took me to his back deck to show me the search areas. The picture below shows what I saw, an eight-acre grass field. The half to the right of the house is where Tyler’s ring was lost. His wife’s ring was lost in the backyard which was a little triangle shape. After making our way downstairs, I set up my detector and started to look for Tyler’s wife’s ring. I don’t think Tyler had made it up the stairs yet when I opened the sliding glass door and called his name. « I have your wife’s ring, » I said as he came back downstairs with a stunned look on his face. We took pictures and I told Tyler where the ring was hiding in the grass. Then the real work was about to begin. As I set off into the park, I reassured Tyler that I would come back and search again tomorrow if I didn’t recover his ring that day. With the knowledge of where Tyler lost his ring in the grass, I lined up with the first marker he gave me, which was a blue covered seating area. My eyes quickly scanned the field of grass, and I could see the grass was flattened down from the previously melted snow. I knew the ring would be sitting in plain sight. I had the thought to just quickly walk the area to speed up the process of detecting the four-acre plot. However, I kept my head down and kept my arm swinging. Within a matter of ten feet, I saw the ring sitting on top of the flat grass. I wasted no time picking up the ring. Then looking back up towards the deck where Tyler and I stood just 20 minutes ago, I could see Tyler looking down at me from inside his house. I pumped my hand holding the ring in the air a few times to get his attention. Tyler came out to the porch, and I told him the great news. The landmark Tyler had told me about was the reason his ring was quickly recovered. That and I am blessed with the gift for finding lost items. A Merry Christmas to you Tyler and your family. May the new year bring you joy and peace and may your rings always remain on your fingers. Merry Christmas to all The Ring Finders.

 

 

 

 

  

Lost Heirloom Gold with Opal & Diamond Ring at Honu Lagoon Ko Olina…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a call from Anchorage, Alaska.  The gentlemen told me his girlfriend Hannah was at Honu Lagoon and lost an heirloom ring her grandmother had given to her.  He said the resort Security Team had given him my number.  Knowing the surf was going to be pounding tomorrow and Lagoon 2 takes the brunt of the swell I asked him if Hannah could call and meet me on the beach ASAP.  He said she was very distraught about losing the ring but he would have her call.  She did a moment later and I could tell by her voice she had been crying about the loss.  I told her I’d grab my gear and be right down after I got a few details from her.  Thankfully traffic was minimal and I got there in about 45 minutes.  I called from the parking lot when I arrived and Hannah and her parents were on the beach already.  Hannah wasn’t exactly sure when the ring came off but she figured it was when she was throwing a football.  She gridded that area for me and I started the hunt.  The area was rather large so it took about 45 minutes.  No luck there so Hannah showed me where they were throwing the ball in shallow water.  That took another 45 minutes and still no ring.  Hannah assured me I hunted in all the places and it was getting dark. I started talking about scuba another day and Hannah showed me a side angle shot of the ring.  She said it was a chunky gold ring!  She did mention snorkeling so I asked her to show me where she entered and exited the water.  I might as well try there since the surf was negligble.  On the second leg of what would of been a five leg search right on the shoreline I got a solid screaming target on the Manticore.  The numbers were good too.  It took at least three scoops and when the sand rinsed out of the scoop a chunky gold ring was shining in what was left of the daylight.  I called over to Hannah « I think I got your ring…please tell me it is. » I handed her the ring and a rush of joy came over her.  She was so thankful and extremely relieved.  I can only imagine how she felt getting her grandma’s ring back.  Hannah’s parents joined us on the shoreline and we had a few hugs and laughs.  That was a two hour hunt with the sun going down quickly.  The lord blessed us on this recovery the day after Christmas.  Much Aloha to Hannah, her boyfriend and parents.

Ashley lost her college class ring while boating on the lake. She was having a good time and waving when all of a sudden her ring flew off. Fast forward 8 years and the lake had to be drained for work that was going to be done. Her grandmother still lives on the lake. Ashley is a traveling nurse so I left the ring with her grandmother to give to her for a Christmas present.

*** Hours after his marriage, Noah lost his gold wedding ring in the sand at Newport Beach, CA. He was able to contact me the next morning asking if I could help him. I was able to meet him on the beach soon after the call.

Nevertheless our possibilities were good to be able to find the ring because he called me promptly and was there to get me in the general area. Fifteen minutes later we had his special gold wedding ring recovered from the sand. Noah was now a happy newlywed and will remember this for a while.

Pittsburgh Metal Detecting Service – Found Wedding Band – Apollo, PA

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I received a text from a client who stated her husband had lost his wedding band in a field by their house. We spoke on the phone and set up a time for me to come out. It sounded like a pretty standard search, this time of year I worry about the amount of daylight I have when I go out in the afternoon. There were two things about this search that struck me…one was the ring was stainless steel and the other was this was one house away from a previous client.

So as with all of our searches there are the stories that go along with them and this one was pretty cool. First, it wasn’t my previous client that recommended me, it was her grandma…I got a nice chuckle out of that (Thanks Gram!). Secondly, was the story about the ring and why it was made of stainless steel. Jocelyn’s father was a machinist and he made the ring. Then I was informed that the pastor who married them had passed away and that their wedding was the last marriage that he blessed. So therein was the story behind the ring, the special extras that make this wedding ring extra special!

Next came the ride in the side by side, now I was getting a bit nervous. I thought this was going to be by the house but then we were driving up into a huge farm field across the road. On the way up Johnny explained he was tossing pumpkins in the field when he felt the ring slip off. He said it slid off when he was moving his arms backwards. He dropped me off and I marked my starting point with my shovel and a large tree limb I pulled from the wood line. I searched for a long time back and forth, when suddenly I realized – it is hunting season dummy, where is your orange…too late. I hoped my bright blue hat would be enough that I wouldn’t be confused with a big buck.  Then I found the pumpkins he tossed further out from where he left me off. I also found a large stainless steel nut they had tossed in the field when they had been looking with a metal detector. I picked it up and put it in my pocket for later. So daylight was waning and I started getting more nervous and was planning in my head for coming back out on Sunday to look again. I took a break, got out my phone and said the St. Anthony prayer for lost items. Then I put my phone away and got back at it, this time picking up the pace. I decided I would quickly search below my starting point. So I began going the other way from the tree branch I placed as my marker and within about 3 passes BAM…I found it (Thanks St. Anthony). It was starting to get dark and a huge sense of relief set it. I gathered up all my things and walked back down to the house. I sent a text saying I was done. Johnny came back and he was guessing I did not find it. Before letting the cat out of the bag, I told him that I did find something and handed him the big stainless steel nut. Then I told him there was something else and returned his ring. He was convinced I hadn’t found it and gave up because it was dark; so he was surprised and happy to have his ring back. It was great to meet more kind and generous people like Johnny and his wife and keeps me looking forward to the next client(s) and the next find.

 

Metal Detecting Service – Gold Wedding Band – Found in Moon Township (Pittsburgh, PA)

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery and metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…I am also pleased to announce I am beginning to search for lost rings in vehicles!!

I was contacted by Tom who lost his ring doing yard work. He was throwing some sticks and vegetation over an embankment when his ring went flying. We made arrangements and I went out to see what I could find. It was not too bad of an area to search with a lot of leaves, trees and grass clippings. I started to look and did not find it where Tom thought it might be. I then started to expand my search area. Tom in his kindness gathered some of the sticks and things and moved them into a pile a short distance from where he thought his ring would be found before I had arrived. I then went through that pile of stuff and beyond. It was on the other side of the items that Tom had cleaned up hoping to give me a better chance at finding it. He could not believe how far the ring actually traveled. I was happy to have recovered the ring and Tom was elated to have it back. Another successful day for another kind and generous client.

LOST 14k WHITE GOLD RING IN NEBO, NC…..FOUND!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)

Got a call this morning from a lady that had lost her 14k gold ring with some heirloom diamonds/sapphires that she had specially made. She lost it in Lake James near Charolette, NC. 3.5 hr drive (one way)

She lost it off a dock at a friends house. She was stepping down to get into her kayak when she grabbed the wire/cable of the ramp to the boat dock. As she grabbed it the cable caught the ring (it has a cut out in it) and pulled it off of her finger. She thought it had fallen straight down and bounced off her kayak on the right hand side of the ramp. After almost 5 hours of searching the right side I expanded and moved to the left side. After about 30 more mins I found her ring! It was a very choppy signal on the AT MAX I think because of the cut in the ring and the clay in the lake.

But I didn’t give up! She knew it was there and I wasn’t giving up until I found it. 5.5 hours later it was found and back on her finger where it belonged!

I managed to surprise her with the return too! Love making folks happy again when I find something they feared was lost forever.

LOST GOLD WEDDING RING SET IN RALEIGH, NC…… FOUND

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)

Got a call from a gentleman that found me online. His wife had lost both of her wedding rings while taking pine straw from some bushes, dropping it as she worked in the cold weather.

At some point both of her rings slipped off her finger and into the pine straw/leaves and they couldn’t find them!

After arriving I found out it was two rings when I thought it was just one ring. About 30 mins later she had both rings back where they belonged!!

These are truly moments I live for!!

Ring lost 30 years ago hunted down and returned. Lincoln, Nebraska

  • from Lincoln (Nebraska, United States)

Carma saw one of my ring finder posts and decided to bait me with a challenge. 30 years ago she lost a ring her mom had given her. She was at a party playing volleyball, never felt it slip off but looked down and realized it was missing. One problem, the land had all been developed. So I started investigating to see if there was a chance it might still be in some ground that was undisturbed. I got permission and long story short found it after about 3 hours of searching. We talked about what this ring meant to her and that she can now tell her mom that the ring passed down with love has been found.
