Lost Pinky Ring in CDA Idaho… FOUND!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

The memories of David’s late mother were swimming around in his head, as David’s dad and David looked through his mom’s jewelry. Just as a bold three diamond gold ring came in view. David quickly recalled his mom wearing it. As if she was there putting it on for an outing David slipped it over his pinky ring seamlessly. There the ring had found a home again. The Ring went with David out to the back patio that night. As David picked up and threw a ball, the ring flew off David’s finger. Raking and using a cheap detector, David looked for his lost ring. After the ring eluded David, he found me on the Ring Finders. I picked up his call and made plans after work. How the ring was lost and where it might have gone were discussed. With the Minelab on, I made an arching grid. Within a few passes a 16-17 signal showed up. It wasn’t deep so I knew his ring could be in sight. That it was, I looked down and saw the ring.  We both were shocked and after photos we had a good chat about our past loved ones. Thank you man for the tip and trusting The Ring Finders.

Men’s Lost Wedding Band Found and Returned, Woods Hole, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Mark was enjoying a swim at the beach, only to find that his gold wedding band had disappeared.  His wife did some searching on the Fabulous Falmouth web page and discovered the searches and recoveries I’d made with The RingFinders.  Early the next day I received her call for help.  Fortunately, low tide was coming up in a couple of hours, similar to the timing of the loss the previous day, so I arranged to meet Mark at the beach to do a search.  He described how he had put lotion on his hands before going in the water, and he felt confident that the slippery lotion and shrinkage in the cool ocean accounted for the ring making an unwanted exit from his finger at some point during his swim.  We identified the boundaries of a substantial area where the ring might be and I headed out to do a search.  I started shore-parallel swaths at the deep edge of the area and slowly worked toward the beach, keeping ahead of the incoming tide.  A frustratingly large number of solid targets turned out to be aluminum trash, but after about four hours I dug a sweet gold signal and his beautiful ring came up in my scoop.  Mark had left an hour or so earlier, so I called him and he returned to collect his ring.  It was a great to see the big smile on Mark’s face, and it was another great day for The RingFinders!

I received a call from Michelle explaining how she had lost two rings in her yard the day before. She was asking if I would be able to help her in the search for them. I let her know I could come that day, but she had ordered a metal detector, and wanted to wait for that to come, so she could search herself. I let her know that when she was ready, I would be available to come and help her. She called me later, saying she decided to forgo the detector, and asked me to come the next day, so we scheduled a time.

When I arrived at her house, she met me at the side gate, and took me to the area of the loss. She also let me know that she had found one of the rings, and that I was going to be looking for the wedding band. The grass was real nice with a thick thatch which could hide any ring that fell into it. I turned my detector on and found a small grate. I continued on, and got a real low tone in the headphones, put in the pin pointer, and there was the ring. She was impressed that the search took so little time to complete, but I have some of the best detectors you can get, and I trust my equipment when I am searching. So happy to have made her day!

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again.

I received a call from Sofia who had lost her ring at the beach the night before. We discussed the loss, and after finding out where it occurred my hope was increased thinking we would be able to make a recovery, so I let her know that I would leave right away in order to conduct a search as soon as possible.

We met up at the beach and I walked out with Sofia and her friend Andrew. When we got to the area, Andrew showed me the general vicinity, and Sofia replayed what she was doing to cause the loss. She even told me that she had watched the ring come off of her finger, but was not able to find it. I gathered my equipment, and began my search. After about 8 feet I got my first strong signal, dug, and had Sofia’s Ring in the scoop. I held it up, and Andrew exclaimed, « It only took two minutes ». They were both amazed, because they had searched so diligently the night before. Sofia then told me that her grandmother had given her the ring, so it meant a lot to her. It sure is nice to be able to reunite people to their heirlooms.

Lost Wedding Band on Inverness, CA beach…Found with Metal Detector!!!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)
Contact:

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

The California summer heat is here and the lost item recovery business is booming!

On Monday July 1st, I received a multitude of requests for assistance.  One of these calls was from a couple in Inverness, CA who were enjoying time at Shell Beach on Tomales Bay.  Over the years, Tomales Bay has become a favorite destination for our family, but is over an hour and a half drive from our little town and 2 and a half hours from my office.  I informed the couple that I was onboard with assisting but would be contacting a few of the other members who might be more local for their availability.  In the end, I found no availability and knew I’d be making the drive.

The couple had lost the ring very early in the day and spent the rest of their day searching and exploring any avenues to recover the sentimental object.  A sign was posted at the entrance to the beach for the missing ring with contact information, they looked into metal detector groups, and even found a metal detector for rent and searched the area to no avail. Over the phone I tried to provide a short tutorial on how to use it.

Rather than make the long drive out late in the day, I scheduled to leave early the next afternoon to perform the search.  I asked my family if they would like to escape the triple digit heat and head to the beach with me.  They were all too happy to tag along and so we packed for the outing.

On arrival we hiked the short path down to Shell Beach. We had stopped for a picnic on this beach while kayak camping a few years earlier.  The beach was moderately crowded with mostly locals looking to escape the days heat.  And we weren’t there long when we met Jacob who explained the circumstances and defined the search area.  The metal detector attracted just about every child on the beach who hovered and followed as I grid the target area.  I handed out clad coins as they were plucked from the sand to those who kept back and helped clear obstacles.  It wasn’t more than 15 minutes when….WE MADE THE RECOVERY!!!

The interested children were the first to know, then my family and the surrounding adults who all clapped and came up to offer praise and ask questions.  Jason was the last to find out, but when I showed him the ring…his reaction was priceless!  It’s absolutely my favorite part of doing this!  Thank you Jacob for the opportunity to assist and to your very kind spouse for coordinating the event.  I wish you both nothing but the best in your future.  Be sure to tell the story of that ring far and wide!

Lost Keys Found in Bloomfield Township Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

All The Keys to His Kingdom…..

…..were on Rhome’s belt, or so he thought. While working on a steep slope on his property multi-tasking, pruning this and trimming that his sprinkler system suddenly went off spraying the slope. As Rhome ran to get out of the spray he slipped and rolled down the slope. After recovering he noticed all his keys were missing. Looking frantically thru the thick plants, thorn and picker bushes revealed nothing. As I stood looking down the 20 foot plus deep slope and seeing the dicey terrain, I decided to use my metal detector with a deep seeking round coil to penetrate the thick foliage. Scanning the ground, I had to balance myself on rock outcroppings that were part of the landscaping. Nearing the bottom of the slope I got a metal signal. Leaning forward maintaining my balance I pulled aside some picker bushes and saw Rhome’s keys! With his back turned to me nearly 30 feet away and 20 feet up I rattled the keys. Spinning around his hands went into the air as I tossed up the keys. He was shocked they were so far away from what he remembered. Back on level ground he began to check the keys with the remote fobs. All was well and accounted for as we parted ways as he was excited and relieved to have found all of the keys of his kingdom!

One Year Anniversary Vacation Saved, Myrtle Beach SC

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

Shortly after 11 am on Tuesday, July 2nd, I received a text from Lora that said in part, “What kind of fee do you charge? My husband lost his ring!!!” I responded telling her, “I do this on a reward/gratuity basis. Call me so I can get the details” along with my phone number. When she called, I found out her husband, Mike had lost his ring the previous evening at about 8:30 pm while looking for shells. She gave me the hotel name and I told her I could be there in about 15 minutes. When we got off the phone, I looked up the hotel and found out it’s in Myrtle Beach and not North Myrtle Beach like I thought. I called her back to confirm Myrtle instead of North Myrtle, which she did. Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle beach are too separate cities but have exactly the same street numbers, so it gets confusing for both locals and tourist. Now that I got it straight, I told her I’d be there in about 30 minutes. She told me that her and Mike were out and about and they wouldn’t be there to show me the area. She was able to give me a pretty good idea of where I needed to search so I wouldn’t be wondering around aimlessly.

I text her when I arrived on the beach, and she responded back that they were heading back. Looking at the tide tables when Lora first called, Mike lost his ring about 2 hours before low tide. By the time I arrived I was about an hour after low tide, so I didn’t have a lot of time to search. I started a north/south parallel to the beach search right at the water line. When Lora and Mike showed up, I got a few more details. Mike was in the water, maybe shin deep and taking cupped hands full of water and throwing up towards the beach. With this new info, I changed to a perpendicular east/west grid search and a few yards outside the suspected search area. I told Lora and Mike that they didn’t need to stick around, and I’d call them either way. With the east/west search I was getting in the water to about thigh deep. I knew Mike’s heavy Titanium ring would ring up in the mid 20’s on the Equinox 800, so I was confident I had found his ring. After digging a scoop of sand and spreading it out on the beach, I saw Mike’s ring peeking up through the sand. I took a picture of the ring and sent it to Lora saying, “Kiss and make up.” I called her and all she could say was “OMG” about 4 times. Then she said, “we’re on our way.” When they arrived, I got a big hug from Lora and a strong handshake from Mike. That’s when I learned they were in Myrtle Beach celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary. This will be one they will never forget!!!

Lora/Mike – Thank you for trusting me to find your lost treasure. Wish you all the best and many many more Anniversaries, but none to match this one!

Lost Tungsten Ring Underwater Found in White Lake Michigan

Reuniting….

…. with his lost wedding ring was all that was on Kyle’s mind the past week after it fell off in the water while stopping near a small island in White Lake to throw a football around with his son. Slipping on sharp rocks had them back in the boat fast but without the ring. Once I was in the chest deep water with my metal detector and snorkel mask, I started to grid search the area Kyle remember being. I too encountered sharp, slippery rocks and stirred up murky water. Sweeping the coil over the bumpy bottom I finally got a good metal signal. Holding my breath for a few seconds I reached down near a chunky rock and dislodging it I felt a circular shape in my fingers. Pulling it to the surface revealed Kyle’s ring! His friend with the boat spotted me holding it first and started yelling. Kyle whirled around in shock that his ring was found! Back in the boat I asked what’s better than a perfect union between a man and wife? A Reunion!……soon in the making!

Lost Gold w/Diamonds Pendant Underwater Found in Orchard Lake Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Mom’s birthday…..

…I got a call from Ruby last Sunday and learned that it wasn’t just her birthday, but her son Sean’s family heirloom gold pendant snapped off his chain while playing water volleyball Saturday.  I met Sean within 2 hours with his cousin and a watercraft. The high winds whipping across the lake caused waves that were quite large. While loading up my gear we got to chatting with the Oakland County Sherriff Marine officer. Since we had over 1/4 mile to reach the sandbar where the pendant was, the Sherriff parallelled alongside us to make sure we got to the location. Once there I started a grid search from where Sean recovered the broken chain. A few minutes later I got a good metal signal quite aways from the chain location. Using my handheld pin pointer the metal target was about 1-1/2 inches below the sand and waist deep water. Pulling it up I felt it was a round object and lifting it thru the water revealed Sean’s pendant! He saw it and fell over backwards into the water in amazement! This pendant is one of the most intricate and beautiful that I have ever recovered! We phoned the Sherriff to escort us back to the mainland and in the meantime, we facetimed Sean’s mom who was screaming in excitement that her father’s pendant was not lost forever! Thanking me for finding the pendant and making her day special, Ruby instructed Sean to hurry back for her birthday celebration!

Special Thanks to the Oakland County Sherriff Marine Division!

Lost ring in the Sound, Pensacola Beach. – Found!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Saturday afternoon I got a frantic call from Jason. He explained that his fiancé Kimberly had dropped her engagement ring in the water on the sound side at Pensacola Beach. He was really worried and told me that it had only been a few weeks since he had purchased the ring and he had to get it back. I packed up quickly and headed that way. It was so crowded that it took about 30 minutes to park. Once I finally got to them, Kimberly walked me out to the area where they had been playing and said that it really could be anywhere. I started my search and got to hear from other people who had been in the area and tried to help narrow down the search area. Finally, Kimberly waded out again to talk and I assured her that I would keep going until I found it. She had only taken a few steps back towards the beach when I heard the sound I was looking for. I knew it was lucky indeed when I saw the gold in the scoop nestled in next to a sand dollar. I hope that is a sign for awesome things to come from this marriage. Y’all are really nice people and I wish you the best. Congratulations.
