Lost Platinum Ring w/Diamonds Found in Ann Arbor Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Barking Up the Wrong Tree…..

While Josh was walking his dogs down a trail, the dog leashed to his right hand bolted after a squirrel that zoomed across the trail. Taken by surprise, the force pulled Josh’s balance off and he fell to the ground. The leash came off his wrist and the dog raced to the tree jumping up and down convinced the squirrel was still around. Meanwhile, Josh managed to get to his feet and got control over the other dog who wanted in on the action. Finally, the 3 of them continued on the trail. A few hundred feet was travelled when Josh noticed his ring missing. Going back to the area where the melee occurred, he couldn’t see his ring, and with dusk setting in they went back to the car. I started a grid search with my MXT metal detector where Josh remembered the incident had taken place. Checking both sides of the trail revealed nothing but as I got near the base of the tree, I got a good signal, and by the sound and meter number could only mean on thing,,,,Josh’s ring! When he reached down and picked it up, we recalled how bummed out the dog must have felt about not getting the squirrel, but Josh was seriously happy that we were on the right trail and got to the root of the real matter!

I received a frantic call from a young lady who works as a wedding organizer and as she was pulling up to the wedding venue she stopped her vehicle to get out and forgot that she had previously removed her diamond engagement ring and set it on her lap. It was a few minutes later that it dawned on her and she immediately went back to where she parked and began desperately looking for her ring. She looked inside her car and under the seat and then started searching the grass and gravel drive way. Having only been engaged for just 2 months…she could not believe that she had lost her precious ring already and could not imagine what her fiance would say! She spent the next 2 hours on her hands and knees running her fingers through the grass and over turning the rough gravel. Then the idea of a metal detector came to her. Looking online for a « Metal Detecting Service » she came across theringfinders.com and gave me a call. I assured her that I was available and could meet her within the hour and as I pulled into the wedding venue I could see this beautiful young lady with red knees and hands and a very worried look on her face. She explained what all happened and as we walked over to where she had parked and gotten out of her car…she was gesturing and pointing to where she had searched and how difficult it was, crawling around on the gravel and then her eye caught a slight glimmer of something silvery looking and she bent down and picked up her own lost diamond engagement ring! She was stunned and we both just looked at each other and smiled. What a relief and a joy it is to be available to help someone find what they thought was lost forever and to see the happiness and peace it brings them when they get their lost item back again. I thank God for giving me another opportunity to be a blessing to someone in need!

Kala called me to see if I could help her find her husbands lost wedding ring in their back yard. I always ask the usual questions like, « When did this happen? and « How did it end up in the yard and what actions were involved?, etc. She said her husband had tried to throw one half of a small spoiled watermelon from their back porch and into the small lake behind their apartment for the turtles to eat…but as he threw the melon he felt his wedding ring go flying out into the darkness as well. He immediately got his flashlight and started searching through the grass, but after 3 hours he gave up and went to his computer to order a metal detector. The next day he got his metal detector and tried searching the yard but being unfamiliar with how to properly operate the machine he ended up getting more frustrated. He then entered « Metal Detecting Service Orlando » on his phone and up popped one of my recent recoveries on theringfinders.com website. I arrived early the next day and Gabriel showed me exactly what happened. So I began my grid search down at the edge of the lake and within minutes I got the perfect signal. Gabriel was over whelmed and explained just how sentimental his wedding ring is to him and how thankful he was to have it back on his finger. How I thank God for allowing me to be a blessing to Gabriel and his dear wife. So…how can I help you? Call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

18k Yellow Gold Ring Lost In The Back Yard, Westbrook Estates Edmonton Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

       

Received a call from Kevin requesting my service to locate his 18k yellow gold wedding ring which he lost a couple of days prior while doing fall gardening with his wife in the backyard,

Kevin was working at the bottom of his yard when he found out his ring was not on his finger he search the area with his wife with no luck at all and thats when he needed some professional help to find his ring he Google searched and found The Ringfinders web site and called me,

Kevin explained to me he exchange gloves with his wife and that’s possible when his ring fell off his finger, also he mentioned that he had the lawn cut the next day and was concerned that his ring may have been picked up by the mower? I assured Kevin that it was highly unlikely the mower would pick it up,

Also Kevin had 8 bags of grass clippings and twigs and possible the ring could be in one of the bags, I agreed to meet up with Kevin on Wednesday evening.

I met up with Kevin at his home and he showed me where he was cutting and cleaning up his yard. His backyard had very steep slope to a ravine also the grass was already yellow which made the ring blend in with the terrain which it made impossible to find with a naked eye.

I search all the bags a couple of times to make sure the ring was not in them no ring was found then I proceeded to search at the bottom of the garden I was getting positive ringtones but it was not the tone I was listening for, then I heard a faint tone and Iron tone which made me stop and investigate this strange sound and yes there was Kevin’s ring being masked by an Iron object and covered with dead grass if I had not been thorough in my search that ring could have being missed forever,

Thank you Kevin for entrusting me to find your wedding ring

Broken Sprinkler Solenoid Buried in the Ground, Found in Calabash, NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

On Wednesday, Sept 10, 2025, I got a phone call from Jeff, owner of JDs Detectors, saying he had a gentleman, Kenneth in the store wanting to rent a metal detector. Jeff said Kenneth was trying to find a broken sprinkler solenoid in his yard. Jeff told Kenneth that instead of renting a detector to contact me to help. Kenneth agreed and said he’d call me the next day to set up a time for Friday. Thursday, when Kenneth called, we set up a time of 8 am on Friday.

Friday morning as I pulled into the driveway, Kenneth was coming out of his garage with a bag of mulch. We met and he walked me to the area where the solenoid was buried. He installed the sprinkler system himself, so he pretty much knew where the solenoid was. I turned on the Equinox 800 and tested the replacement solenoid. I had to make sure I could detect either the wire or the screws holding the plastic unit together. I had to switch the detector mode to park 2 but it came through loud and clear. I turned around, took a couple of steps and hit it. Kenneth took the red flag he had and as he stuck it in the ground, he made contact with the solenoid. He was going to dig it up a little later and replace it. So, unfortunately the only picture I got was the red flag sticking out of the ground me pointing to the flag in the ground.

Kenneth – Thank you for calling and letting me help find your solenoid.

Silver Ring Lost in Bushes, Found and Returned Little River, SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

About 2-3 weeks ago the next-door neighbor Jim, knocked on the door. He said that Taylor, a friend of his daughter, had lost a special silver ring in the yard. I grabbed my Equinox 800 out of the garage and made my way next door. Taylor was out there, and I asked her what happened. She explained that as she was walking to her car, she was running into spiders hanging down out of the tree. As she was swinging at the spiders to get them out of the way, her ring flew off her finger. I turned on the detector and searched the front yard with no luck. Unfortunately, there was a bush that was maybe 5 feet tall and very thick right in the line of fire. I searched under, over and behind the bush the best that I could and still couldn’t find it.

Well, I got busy, and it slipped my mind until I was standing in my driveway, and it hit me. I grabbed my pin pointer and set the detecting distance to about 3 inches. I went over to the bush, sat on the ground and started reaching as far as I could under the bush. About a quarter of the way around the bush, I stuck the pin pointer under the bush and got a solid tone. Wasn’t sure what I hit but it was metal. I reached up under the bush, felt around and felt her ring. Just as I found it, the neighbor, Jim pulled into his driveway. He called Taylor and gave her the good news. She was excited and said she thought the ring was gone for good. I gave Jim the ring and am waiting for Taylor to pick it up and get a picture of her smile.

Lost Gold Nugget Ring at Nimitz Beach Kalaeloa…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Leila asking,  » I was wondering if you could help me out.  I lost my ring at the beach today and need a metal detector to find it.  I’m pretty sure the one we bought was cheaply made and need someone with experience too.  The ring was passed down to me and I feel devastated that it’s lost.  I’m located in the Kapolei area and lost it in the sand last night. »  I called Leila and I told her I would have to see what traffic was like and I would try to grab my gear and head out during lunch.  Thankfully,  traffic was a breeze and I got to Nimitz Beach in record time.  Leila & her sister Jade were two minutes behind me.  When we got to the search area Jade drew a box in the sand where they thought the ring may have fallen out of a beach bag Leila’s boyfriend Jah was attending to.  It only took 5 minutes but no ring.  Only a few lead weights and two quarters.  I asked Leila and Jade where else did Jah go so we can trace his path.  It was down the beach in both directions.  I hunted the westerly direction first as it was the shortest distance.  No ring!  I then went in the easterly direction.  Thankfully not much trash.  Suddenly about 20 yards from the original search area I got a booming tone on the Manticore.  In one scoop a chunky Gold Nugget ring appeared.  Jade wasn’t sure about the ring so we called Leila who had taken her baby back to the car.  Jade sent her a pic and she confirmed it was the Gold Nugget ring she lost.  We met halfway,  near a picnic area for the return.  Leila was obviously relieved and Jah was out of the dog house!  Aloha to Leila, Jade & Jah!

Robin called asking for help in searching a family property after the Altadena fire.

When I arrived she took me to the area she believed some missing jewelry should’ve fallen. The problem was that there was an old 400-500 pound cast iron bathtub sitting on the spot. There was a pipe in the backyard that I was able to anchor a come-along to, and then stretch a strap over to the tub. At that point, moving the tub out of the way became an easy assignment. After moving the tub, I was able to find 3 rings (one broken), and 1 pendant.

Robin felt satisfied that the area was searched well.
