Clucking Success: Finding a Wedding Band in a Brooklyn Chicken Coop!

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)

Sometimes, metal detecting takes you to unexpected places—like a chicken coop in the heart of Brooklyn! When I first got a text about a lost gold wedding band in a backyard chicken coop, I thought someone was playing a prank. But as it turns out, this was no joke. The gentleman had been tending to his chickens when his ring slipped off, disappearing into the dirt, hay and feathers.

Armed with my trusty detector and a lot of determination, I set out to find that ring.

It was discouraging, all the metal in the chicken coop walls and various sections was making my equipment less than optimal..

Navigating around curious chickens, it was definitely one of the more unusual searches I’ve been on! After carefully scanning the coop, first, I found a wrench that probably hasn’t seen sunlight for 50 years, then at the entrance of the chicken coop, technically outside of the chicken, I used my pin pointer and found the ring!

I heard that unmistakable tone—and there it was, buried in the ground, shining gold.

The look of relief on the gentleman’s face and the feeling of shaking his hand while looking in his eyes, genuinely feeling happy for him, was priceless. Besides chickens, he keeps bees! 🐝. Along with my come-out fee and reward he gave me eggs and honey! Major win for both of us!

It’s not every day you find yourself metal detecting for gold in a chicken coop, but it’s moments like these that make what I do so rewarding. Whether in sand, snow, or—apparently—chicken coops, a lost treasure can always be found!

Contact:

We got call from Faith, she said she was Skydiving for the first time.  Once she landed in the field she was taking off her Goggles and felt her brand NEW (only had them 24 hours/10yr anniversary gift) Gold & Diamond Ear Ring flew off.  She immediately dropped to her knees with her parachute still attached and started looking for her ear ring.   Her partner and all of the staff at the Sky Diving Club searched and searched but with no luck.  They bought a metal detector NO Luck, the had someone come out with a better Metal Dectector- NO Luck.  Someone suggested she better hire a Pro, so she called « The Dallas Ringfinders ».

We got the call 1 week after the loss, we scheduled to come out after church on Sunday and met the couple and all 7 of the staff of the Sky Diving Club, everyone there had been searching for the Ear Ring.  Great thing was the staff had put out a orange cone at the landing location where Faith had landed.  Ellen & I got our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors and  our Garrett Water Proof Pinpointers and began our search… it only took a minute.  I got a solid 45 gold signal at less than 2 inches deep.  I checked the site with my Pinpointer but go No signal, I then cleared the dried grass with my foot and scanned again,  still getting the 45 Gold signal indicator.  I then bent down and slowly and carefully scanned the area with my pinpointer and got a hit on the edge of the thick grass I had cleared.. still seeing nothing I use my hand to slowly clear the grass and then I saw the « Glint ».  What fun to return a beautiful ear ring..

Testimonial / Yelp Review
A VERY happy ending to one of the longest weeks ever, for me and my husband when I dropped my wedding band running in the rain from the car to the house. We spent a SOLID sleepless week searching night & day for it. We used recruitments magnets, probes, flood lights, black lights, metal detectors, rakes and even removed patches of sod but came up empty handed. Our neighbor had heard about Adam Greensburgs success in reuniting people with their lost treasures and so we reached out to see if Adam could help us.

His presence exuded a sincerity and positive vibe that he was going to do whatever he could do to find my wedding ring and he did just that within 10 minutes You have a gift Adam, thanks for blessing our family in superhero fashion.

Lost White Gold Ring Found by Dowsing Rod in Rochester Hills Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

The Queen of the Castle’s Courtyard…..

…What started as a whole castle and carriage search for Jen’s missing ring ended up searching outside as well. The wax sealed letter revealed she wasn’t sure where to look but remembers that the day it went missing, she had been to a lot of places in and out of the castle and left no breadcrumb trail. After reading I realized this was no fairy tale. Crossing the moat and passing thru the gatehouse Jen assured me all defense mechanisms were disabled. I started my search of the great hall, kitchen, Queen’s chamber and with no enemies this castle had no dungeon(darn!). I used my MXT with wide search coil to search the smaller outer courtyard behind the castle where she had travelled to bring hors d’oeuvres to her guests and the children. No signals came thru. So, I went to the larger outer courtyard in front of the castle and started to walk around the perimeter of the castle with my dowsing rod to see if it would indicate an attraction of where to metal detect. As I started to pass the stone walkway leading to the spiked oak door and near a brick tower next to the inner courtyard Jen was previously preparing for high tea the dowsing rod pulled sharply to the right. I walked into the inner courtyard and took another sweep with the rod to see if the signal was coming from behind the castle walls, but the rod pulled to the right towards the brick tower. Looking thru the small pile of leaves and debris where the attraction was revealed Jen’s ring concealed next to the tower!! As she looked out from an upper chamber, I hailed her to come out. As she held her precious ring in her hand, she was amazed that it was found where it was. And now with peace restored in the kingdom, she can close this chapter of the book, take back the curse the course it took, and over high tea tell a better story of the glory!

Lost Ring at Perdido Key, FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

It’s not really summer anymore but we are still blessed with beautiful weather and that means days on the beach. Jennifer and her husband of 15 years came down from Arkansas and had been enjoying Perdido Key when calamity struck. Jennifer had taken her Diamond wedding band off and put it in the cup holder of her chair. After several relocations of the chair to find the perfect spot, Jennifer found herself packing up with the realization that her ring was gone. She Google searched and found me and luckily I was already nearby. She wasn’t sure if it was in the water or on the beach so I started with the easy part first. I had just set up a grid search and only barely started to cover the area when I heard a tone that had to be gold. I gently scooped it up and smiled at Jennifer. She came running over and magically the vacation was saved. Congrats Jennifer, I’m very proud that I could help you. God Bless!

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)

 


The Ring Finders San Diego Metal Detector service is here to help find your lost buried treasures. Call or text Curtis Cox @ 760 889 2751.

 

  September 8th,  Krista who was vacationing here in Carlsbad San Diego contacted me when she noticed her lost gold wedding ring vanished at the beach somewhere. Fortunately I live above the beach there being only a 5 min walk, It was easy to arrive quickly upon the scene of the lost ring. Krista showed me an area in the dry sand where she thought it could be,,I scanned over it once & immediately told her Sorry it’s not here!

Only other possible area it could have fallen off was in the surf as she pointed towards beach goers bobbing up & down just passed the shore breaking waves.

My hopes to help her sank immediately knowing it was not possible to swing a metal detector wading in crashing overhead surf sets but to make things even worse, Is the (Timing). Being lost during a (Neap) low tide period on a sloped beach…This means I would not be able to conduct a search until a minus (King) tide period coming up in 6-7 days!

These are the toughest calls I receive. Having to tell someone I can not even attempt to find their ring for a week.!  I then explained & showed Krista the local San Diego tide charts on my phone assuring her I would come back when the timing was right & Mother Nature permitted.

Next Friday the 13th, Committed with Ambition as I made an Iced coffee at 10:30pm knowing the king low tide was finally arriving just after midnight so I geared up then walked down there.

   

Nearly 2hrs had gone by waiting & fighting the surf then finally the ocean tide backed away far out enough allowing me to get where she may of lost her gold ring 6 days prior. Not long afterwards facing a pitch Black Sea I miraculously recovered her special wedding band in less than a foot down in waist deep water!  She was so relieved the next day to have her gold ring back. The timing was perfect again as they were headed back home to Utah to end their California Vacation that very Saturday the 14th!!

Steve decided to do a little yard clean up after Hurricane Helene and while he was picking p all the branches and leaves he noticed that his wedding ring was no longer on his pinky finger.  Earlier in the day he noticed his hands were swelling so he took his wedding ring off and « temporarily » put it on his little finger.  He searched desperately for his ring but soon realized the futility of trying to find such a small item in the thick grass and bushes.  A close friend had a couple of metal detectors and they tried for hours to locate his lost ring and when that did not work, Steve decided to search online for help and typed in « Jewelry Recovery Services » and up popped theringfinders.com!  Steve called m and after a brief discussion I made the drive to his home.  Steve had emptied the large bin and looked through all the sticks and leaves and had also attempted to search the bushes as well and I could tell he was quite tired and frustrated.

I always pray and ask God for wisdom and direction before every search attempt and on this occasion I began my search along the corner of the street and the driveway.  My very first signal was a sprinkler head and one step further another strong signal that registered shallow and with the right numbers.  All total I had searched…maybe 1 minute…and there nestled down in the thick grass was Steve’s lost wedding ring!  I called him over to verify that I had found the correct ring and he was shocked that I was able to find it so quickly!  What an honor it was to help Steve find his lost ring and to be a part of their 25 year marriage story!

Lost something and need help?  Call or text me ASAP at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!
