Lost SD card full of wedding photos….Found in Spokane WA!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

All the time spent preparing and planning for a wedding shoot Katie never planned for the worst outcome ever, a lost SD card full of that days photos. With the whole wedding party walking up and down West Riverside ave, Katie was taking photos. During one of the photo shoots a bridesmaid asked Katie to hold her phone. With Katie’s fanny pack open, the phone slipped into the front pocket. After the photo shoot was over, Katie and the wedding group walked back to the event center. The bridesmaid who asked Katie to hold her phone, asked for her phone back. Little did Katie know, the act of pulling out the phone would chuck her number 21 SD card on to the ground. After arriving back to the event center she went to retrieve her sd out of her fanny pack. The card wasn’t there. With the sinking feeling setting in, Katie went back to the photo shoot area to look for her SD card. The bridesmaids came with Katie to help with the search. Having no good luck locating the card, Katie called her husband Zack to enlist his help. Zack quickly found the Ring Finders through a Reddit post and called me. We talked and texted for a bit, then Katie called. After going over the finite details I knew I needed to get to Riverside ave. fast. I knew I needed to bring my Eye detector 1000 and with prayers and God on my side I began my search. The street was full of people and cars. I had my bright flashlight and searched every parking spot and sidewalk. Making my way to the front of the church I saw a small black rectangle in between a car tire and the curb. Picking up the card and looking at the front, I could see a hand written number on it like the example Katie sent to me. I sent a text and picture to Katie. After driving to the event center I saw Katie standing outside waiting for me. I was able to give her card back to her and get a photo of her smile. The wedding photos will have to be recovered by the manufacturer because the card didn’t work, it had been run over. However, Katie was confident not all was lost. The little things in our lives sometimes hold the most treasured of items, and the photos of your wedding day are memories that will last forever. I’m so glad I got to be a part of that lost and found story. Thank you Katie and Zack for having faith in me.

Lost Tantalum Wedding Ring Found in NJ!

  • from Madison (New Jersey, United States)

Tantalum is a rare earth metal often used in men’s wedding rings. The metal reads very similar to iron on metal detectors and can be difficult to find in metal rich locations.

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ, — A wedding ring was reunited with its owner in the woods in Central New Jersey today thanks to the Ringfinders Metal Detecting service.

This morning, I received a text from Rory who lost his ring in the woods while doing some yard work. The ring was made of rare earth metal, tantalum.

I arrived at the residence and listened to Rory’s description about how he lost the ring while doing yard work. The ring had been flung from the backyard into a wooded lot behind the residence.

Slowly the area was meticulously grid searched. Rory mentioned that he thought he heard the ring land perpendicular to the current search area.

As the search shifted to that area, a tone very similar to iron was detected in the leaves under a bush. As the leaves were cleared away, there lie the tantalum ring, 45 minutes into the search.

A tantalum ring is recovered after a 45 min search.

Rory was reunited shortly thereafter with the ring and was extremely grateful. Another successful recovery in central NJ for the Ringfinders team. Lose a ring in NJ? Give me a call – will travel anywhere in the state.

The tantalum ring’s owner, Rory receives his ring back.

Found June 28th, 2023

A couple of years ago Curtis lost his ring while swimming in Lake Montclair in Woodbridge, Virginia. He contacted Ed Finck, owner of Woodbridge SCUBA to look for the ring. Ed is always busy and I was grateful we were able to arrange another of our fun outings.

Ed told me how Curtis lost the ring toward the right side of the swim platform. The depth is around 15 feet and it is very easy to stir-up silt. I used an adapted Jackstay line search and started from the center of the platform. There were many trash targets, but my detector allowed me to ignore most of the junk.

Other Targets Found

When I swept my XP Deus 2 metal detector over the ring, it made a perfect sound. I reached into the muck and felt the gold ring and placed it into my custom made metal detecting finds carry bag.

Rob, Curtis & Ed

While back on the beach, Ed called Curtis and he arrived within 10 minutes. He couldn’t believe we found his ring!

Lost wedding ring on the beach, Seaside Heights NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

I got a text one evening from my old boss, he was asking it if still do recoveries. He explained that he was on the beach and a guy was digging around in the sand looking for something. He couldn’t help but ask what he was doing, and he said looking for my wedding ring. With that he told them about my and exchanged my information. Alex called a few minutes later and we went over what happened. He had decided to jump into the ocean for a swim, but prior to doing so, placed his ring and other stuff he was holding into his pants pocket. I had to head right there due to the fact that beach is heavy detected, and the ring might not last overnight. We walked right out to the surf as the tide was coming on rather quickly. Alex had some things marking the area, and i quickly started searching down low on the hill. He was pretty sure his stuff was up higher but I just wanted to make sure before the water got too far up. I completely covered the area we thought the ring would be, without any sign of the ring. Alex and his wife Carlie were on vacation and has to leave, as some friends were up at the restaurant waiting for them. I wasn’t given up just yet, and continued to search the path they had taken back to the dune walkway. With the very deep/soft white powdery sand the Jersey beaches have, it was no to easy seeing right where they had walked. After walking half way back, I turned around and did another sweep back to the water with no luck again. Spreading out even further to the north I located his ring about 150’ from the high tide line. I quickly called him, hoping to catch them before they left the area, which I did. We met on the boardwalk where I handed his ring back, which made the end of his vacation fantastic.

*** Nolan had been with friends at Playa del Rey, one of the Los Angeles county beaches. They had met there to play volleyball in the sand. He took off his gold ring, putting in his street shoes along with  his other belongings.

After the game he went over to the sidewalk where he put on his shoes. That’s when he remembered his ring and it wasn’t in the shoe. Several hours of searching the sand proved to be frustrating and unsuccessful for he and his friends.

His friends did  suggest that he get someone with a metal detector to help. After finding my information online. We made arrangements to meet at the location. Within in an hour after our call, I was able to find Nolan’s ring. That included the drive and parking.

Lost Steel with Meteor, Rose Gold & Koa Wood Inlay Wedding Ring at Pupukea Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Davis who is in the Army and stationed on Oahu.  He lost a Steel with Meteor, Rose Gold and Koa Wood Inlay at Pupukea Beach the day before.  He told me he had the ring in a pocket of a beach chair and when they were leaving he shook the sand off the chair and the ring must have fallen out and disappeared.  They searched into dark with no luck.  They considered renting a detector but none were available at the moment and that’s when he googled and reached out to theringfinders.  Davis was on a fishing trip but said his wife Liliann would be willing to meet me on the North Shore and show me the location.  We agreed to meet around noon.  When I arrived Liliann came up to the parking lot to escort me to the search area.  After drawing a box in the sand I started the grid search.  It was a fairly small area and after 10 minutes and a few trash targets we didn’t have the ring.  Liliann’s inlaw Megan arrived on scene and was pretty sure we were just a bit more to the right next to a path entry.  Not knowing what this ring would come up on the ManticoreI was digging all targets.  I got a nice shallow target on the « Beast » and thinking bottle cap, as the 2D display was all over the place, Davis’ unique ring was in the scoop after the second dig.  I’m sure the Manticore was very confused with that metal configuration.  Liliann and Megan were shocked as I showed them the ring.  Hugs and smiles all around and Davis sent me a selfie once he got back from his fishing trip and had the ring back on his finger.  Much Aloha to Liliann, Megan & Davis!

Family heirloom diamond ring found – Orange Beach, Alabama

          My Sunday started out with my BFF and detecting buddy Cheryl Clark of Gulf Shores and I attending church followed by a lovely fellowship lunch where we indulged in some delicious homemade goodies. Afterward, we set out for one of our favorite detecting honey holes …. Only to arrive there and realize that one of us (I’m not naming names !) had forgotten our detector. Slightly disappointed, we decided to head back home and call it a day.

          As we drove to Cheryl’s house, we decided to see what was showing at a nearby movie theater. As luck would have it, something we wanted to see was starting soon so we ran home to change clothes, grab the missing detector since it usually stayed in my car,  and head to the movies at The Wharf in Orange Beach. It was interesting that, during that drive, I was thinking out loud and shared with Cheryl that I felt that there was a reason we couldn’t detect that day and that God must have wanted us at the movies instead for some reason.

         With the movie almost over, I saw a call on my watch from an unknown number and a voice mail. Sneaking my phone out, I read a message from Jason that he believed his wife Florence had lost a very sentimental ring the day before …… At The Wharf ! I quickly texted him and let him know that we happened to already be right there and that I would call him back in about 20 minutes. The movie ended and we walked out to meet up with Jason and Florence. They relayed to us that they had attended a car show there the day before. Florence remembered that she had taken her family heirloom ring off to put lotion on her hands, and thought maybe she had it still in her lap when she got out of the car. They had searched the car and the parking lot already and had even had someone at their hotel come take the sink apart in case it had fallen in the drain.

       Looking over the vast gravel parking lot, Cheryl and I exchanged a knowing glance. This was gonna be a tough one – almost impossible in fact ! The chances of someone else having spotted it on the hard, flat ground and picking it up seemed high. Nevertheless, we set out with our detectors to search.  An hour and a couple of pocketfuls of pull tabs, bottle caps and miscellaneous metal bits and pieces later and still no ring, the disappointed couple felt like they really needed to set out on their drive back home to Louisiana. We told them we would stick around and look just a little while longer. Just as I watched them drive off, I heard an excited “whoop whoop” from Cheryl and, against all odds, there in her hand was Florence’s beautiful platinum and diamond ring !! I quickly called Jason’s number and asked if they could turn around and come back. I was trying to sound nonchalant but he could hear Cheryl’s excited voice in the background as we were ooing and aahing over the stunning ring. The look on Florence’s face was priceless as she tearfully slipped “Grandma Florence’s” ring back on her finger. She and Jason agreed that our serendipitously being at the theater that day instead of 30 miles away detecting was truly meant to be !

       Although I live in Mobile and Cheryl lives in Gulf Shores, we metal detect together often and frequently tag team or join together to look for lost jewelry for folks. So, no matter which side of Mobile Bay you’re on, Cheryl and I just might be in the right place at the right time !
