Lost Platinum & 18k Gold Wedding Ring Recovered in Morrisville N.C. on 3/31/15

  • from Hillsborough (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On 3/29/15 , I was contacted by a Mr. Michael C. about his wedding ring he had lost while playing with his Dogs in his back yard.. We discussed the lost ring and all the details of where he had lost it and how.. After speaking to him I agreed to meet him the next day on 3/30/15 to do the search and find his ring.. I assured him it would be a easy search and I would be able to find his ring pretty quick since he was sure of the area he lost it in.. We had agreed to meet between 6:00pm & 6:30pm , 0n 3/30/15..

But the next day before I was to go out to do the search, I had decided since I had time before meeting him that I would go metal detecting in the woods first to pass some time before I had to meet him.. Thats when I had a problem of my own , I was about a mile back in the woods detecting and when it came time to head back to my truck so I could meet Mr. Michael C. to do his search I had relized I lost my truck keys in the woods somewhere.. This was a problem since I could not go anywhere with out my keys and I could not call him to let him know what happened since I locked my phone in my truck and could not get in to call anyone.. I search the woods again for my keys and decided to walk home when I could not find them.. When I finally got home , I emailed Mr. Michael C. late that night to let him know what had happened and to apologize for not being able to make it to do the search.. The next morning on 3/31/15, I had a friend give me a ride back to my truck with a spare set of keys so i could pick my truck up.. That same day I had spoke to Mr. Michael C. again since I had my phone again and truck back.. He was very understanding as to what happened and we agreeded to meet that day between 4pm & 4:30pm.. When I got there it was around 4pm and I met with Mr. Michael C. about ten minutes later when he had got there.. He walked me through what he was doing when he lost his ring and I even got to meet his 2 dogs he was playing with when he lost the ring.. I showed him the equipment I was going to use and explained this search would not take long as i was going to be able to find it fast using my long range electroscope called the Regulator..  I began my search using the Regulator long range electroscope and instantly got a hit on a line of bearing to search.. I grabbed my metal detector and in less then 3 minutes I had found his ring.. I was happy to have helped him out and he was very happy to have it back.. I also want to thank him for the generous reward he offered.. That much of a reward was not neccesary because I was not used to getting that much for a reward.. Its not about the amount of the reward I am offered that gives me pleasure in helping others out.. My reward is the pleasure I get when I see the smiles on a persons face when I return their lost item back to them..

Sons silver ring lost and found in West Kelowna backyard.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Kelly phoned me to say that her son Carson was devastated because he had lost his silver ring in their backyard while playing with the dog. It was lost the evening prior to her call, the family searched the side of the house where it came off during a toy throw. I arrived and expected to find it in the junipers by the side of the house, after one hour I knew it was not there. I asked if I could check out the next door suspecting it may have flown over the fence. No one was home so we went around and sure enough it was lying on the gravel pathway.

Lost 24kt. Wedding Ring in Houston, Texas (Recovered)

I was contacted yesterday by Jayant regarding his lost 24kt wedding band in the Houston area. Jayant said while playing volley ball with his son in a park near the George Bush Park in Houston his ring flew off his finger. Jayant said he was throwing the ball overhand to his son when he felt his ring slip off his finger. Jayant said several hours of searching followed, but he and his family were unsuccessful at finding his missing ring.

03/31/2015

I met with Jayant this evening and was shown the area needing to be searched. It was very large field but Jayant had left some markers in the field knowing he would need to return to the exact location. « Smart thinking on his part »

With Jayden’s marker in place and after a quick rehearsal of the previous days events, we set out to find the ring.

The quick recovery was directly related to Jayden’s quick thinking of marking his location in the very large field. Way to go…

Lost Wedding Ring at Santa Monica Beach, CA…Found.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

P1020661P1020660

I received a call from Geno this morning, asking if I would be able to help him find his wedding ring. He had been to the beach the day before, and wanting to go into the water he wisely took his ring off and wrapped it in his shirt before he went in. The problem occurred when he was ready to leave, and he forgot he had placed his ring in the shirt. He picked up his shirt, and the ring was gone. Seeing that a day had gone by, I had to ask some questions in order to evaluate the possibilities of finding his ring. By the time I finished asking my probing questions, I felt there was a pretty good chance of recovery, but it had to be today.

We scheduled to meet at 5:00 PM, so Geno could show me the area of the loss. When we met up, I asked how he had found me, and he told me that a friend of his, had a friend Eugene, who I had found his wife’s rings two weeks prior, that recommended me to him. He took me out to the spot that he was sure the loss took place, so I readied my equipment, and began my search. In about 20 seconds, I heard that unmistakable sound of gold in my ears, and began to dig. A couple of scoops later Geno’s ring was bouncing around in my scoop. I pulled it out and asked him if this was what we were looking for, at which time with exuberance, and some disbelief he acknowledged the ring to be his, identifying the inscriptions inside. This recovery happened so fast because Geno remembered the exact location, and did not let too much time expire before contacting someone to help him; those are important things to remember when a loss occurs.

What a pleasure it is to see joy returned. What a great day it was today.

I received the following email from Mark this morning regarding his lost Wedding Ring.

 

Hi John,

My tungsten-carbide wedding band slipped off this morning in some short grass. I know the 5×5′ area it’s in, but after 10 minutes of searching I had to give up. I would like to know if you could come try your skills at finding it.

The location is at the corner of Chimney Rock and South Braeswood. If you can help, let me know your availability and we can work out a schedule.

thanks,

Mark

Mark and I met in Houston this afternoon and searched for his missing ring. The search  area was a grass field adjacent to a roadway where he exits the running track. The recovery took less than 10 minutes. Marks ability to put us in the right spot was the main factor in the fast recovery. Nice work Mark.

Lost Dog Collar in Laural Canyon Dog Park, Los Angeles, CA…Found

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I received a call from Audrey about a lost dog collar, lost at a dog park. The collar was from her friend Sandra’s former dog who had been her close companion for many years, but had passed away. She now had a beautiful German Shepherd pup that the collar went on when Audrey took him and her own dog to the dog park. Pups being what they are were playing and exploring when as Audrey explained it to me « The pup went into the weeds and trees with his clothes on, and came out naked » (the collar was missing).

We agreed to meet on Wednesday morning to conduct a thorough search of the area. I looked at the hillside, and it full of tall weeds and a lot of dead tree snags; a perfect place for the collar to be lost. Audrey told me that there was a tag with a Swiss cross and the dog’s name, that was attached to the collar which was very important as well. I put on a 6 inch coil in order to get into all of the small spaces between weeds and snags. I searched for about two hours until I finally found the collar, but the tag was not with it. I searched around the area for the tag hoping it fell off in the same area, but was unable to come up with it. The park is very large, and Audrey thought there might have been another spot where the tag might have come off, so I searched that area as well, but was unable to find the tag. Fortunately I was able to find the collar. I was able to provide some closure to the loss with the collar find.

Update 4-4-15:

Sandra found the missing dog tag close to home, so she has been reunited with both the tag and the collar.

Audrey sent the following email to include here:

Hello Steve,

Thank you so much for including our story on your blog and for coming out to help us.
I heard that Sandra called you and you went back to look for the tag, you are an amazing person.
Truly, I cannot thank you enough.
All the best,
Audrey

Confirmation Medallion Lost at Torrance Beach, CA…Found.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

P1020655P1020653

On my way out to a ring search in Newport Beach last Sunday night, I received a call from Maya who told me about a St. Michael medallion she lost at the beach, and asked if I would try to find it for her. I let her know that I was on my way to help someone else at the time, but told her that after I was finished, I would go to the beach she lost the medallion at, and do a search. She did give me very specific directions, and I felt comfortable going because I know the area well. There was a sense of desperation in her voice, so I knew it was important to her that this item be found. I also knew that this beach is cleaned very well on a daily basis by the county, so there was no time like the present to do the search.

I successfully finished the search for the ring and headed to the other beach in Torrance which was about 30 miles away. When I got there it was about 11:30 PM, and I got my gear and began my search. I searched for about half an hour, searching out the box she had laid out for me over the phone, and found the medallion. I sent her a text immediately giving her the good news, and received one back about 4:30 AM from a very thankful young lady. We arranged to meet at the location of the loss today, and her father came along as well. I was glad he did when I asked about the significance of the medallion. He explained that this medallion was given to him when he was 12 years old at his Confirmation, and he had kept it since then. This piece of jewelry is over 40 years in the family. He then gave it to his daughter at her Confirmation. It was at this point that I realized the huge importance of returning this to the family. The story of this St. Michael medallion needed to continue, and it has; I am so happy to be part in it. Great smiles on father and daughter.

Lost Gold Ring in Long Beach, CA Park…Found.

We were out visiting my brother-in-law in Thousand Oaks last night, and were finishing up a dinner at a local restaurant when I received a call from Brain about 8:30 PM about the loss of his wife’s ring. It was lost in a park, and he wondered if I would be willing to come and find it for them. I told him I would, but explained that I was about 70 miles out from Long Beach, and it would take a while for me to get home, gather my equipment, and get to his location. I told him if he would be willing to meet me there, I would come. Fortunately they lived close to the park so he agreed to meet me when I arrived.

I finally arrived at the location at about 11:00 PM, and Brian was there to guide me in, and help me get parking, which was scarce. The park was small, so for them to narrow down the scope of the search was relatively simple. Brian showed me the area, and explained how his wife had thrown something for their dog to retrieve, when her ring flew off of her finger. The problem was that it was getting dark at that time, and the grass was browned, so with the lighting conditions, and the ring being a similar color as the grass made it almost impossible to see. I began my grid, and made two passes encountering a lot of trash metal and some coins, which I did not dig because I knew I was looking for a surface loss. When I made my turn for the third pass I heard a good sound that was showing shallow, so I got the pin pointer, and fine tuned my search. In the light of the pin pointer I saw the ring we were hoping to find. All this time Brian continued his relentless search for his wife’s ring. When I had the ring in my hand I looked up to see Brian bent over with his flashlight in one hand, searching through the grass with his other hand, and I asked him if we hadn’t been searching at least 15 minutes, to which he agreed. I then said that he might want to come over and see what I had found, to which an expression of disbelief came over his face, when I held out the ring.

Brian explained that his wife was given a ring by her late grandfather, which she used to make a replica (this lost ring) that would fit her finger so she could wear it in remembrance of him. So to lose this ring was to lose something very precious in memory. I am so glad to have been able to restore joy in this family, see Brian’s smile, and know his wife was smiling too.

Brian sent the following email to include here:

Steve,

You are the man! Thank you so much for coming over tonight.  I know you were busy and enjoying your evening, yet you made time to make our night.  You are a great man for doing this work.  This was your 3rd ring in as many nights and you simply kick ass at making people happy.  Thank you so very much and many blessings to you and your family!!!

Warmest Regards,

Brian & Sara Morrison

Lost Wedding Ring at Newport Beach, CA…Found.

I was on my way last night to pick up dinner at about 6:30 PM from the local Mexican take out restaurant when I received a call from Briana asking if I would be able to help her find a lost wedding ring. She explained that she and her husband were in Newport Beach, so let her know that I would be able to help after I ate my dinner. I let her know it would take me about two hours to arrive at the search location if they would be willing to wait. She agreed to wait, so I ate fast, got my gear together, and got on my way.

I wanted to do the search as soon as possible, so I could go over the area before the county beach cleaners came by. When I got to the location she and her husband Greg were waiting, and took me out to the spot where they had been sitting in the sand. When we arrived at the spot, I looked at the sand, and my heart sank a bit because it looked as though the county had been there already. The area looked as if it had been meticulously raked, but I found out that it was from Greg’s search for the ring before I got there.  It was Greg’s ring that had been lost, and they told me how he had put his ring in the beach chair pocket, but forgot to take it back out when they were going to leave for the day. He put the chair on his back, and during the process of getting everything ready to leave, bent over a few times to pick up items on the sand, which probably caused the ring to fall out. I began my search, and heard a good sound in the headphones, but pulled up a piece of aluminum can. I knew that must have discouraged them a bit. I kept looking and again heard another good sound, but this time when I looked in my scoop there was Greg’s ring. I pulled it out and asked Greg if his ring looked like the one I was holding in my hand. Immediately a gush of emotion came from the two of them, and the joy was evident. Briana told me how they had gone more than half way home, which is more than 50 miles away before they realized the ring was missing. In Los Angeles, and Orange County traffic, that constitutes a long drive, and then a long drive back. Also the time they had been searching the sand, when combined with the driving time had taken an emotional toll on them.

The two had been together since high school, and had gotten married 4 years ago. The ring is specially engraved with « B ♥ G », which makes this very dear to the both of them. Sure a ring can be replaced, but the story of the « ring » can not be replaced, it becomes a new ring with a new story. I am so glad that I was able to continue the ring’s story, restore joy to Briana and Greg , and put smiles back on their faces. I am sure they had a comforting ride home, and a good night’s sleep.

Greg sent the following email to include here:

Steve,
Thanks again for your help last night. You can’t imagine how devastated I was when I realized that the ring was missing, and then again after 2+ hours of digging through the sand on my own.  Thankfully you came to the rescue and I’m so grateful that you were will and able to help on a Sunday evening. Briana and I truly appreciate your service and will certainly recommend you to anyone we know who finds themselves in a similar situation. Hope your other calls were successful and that you didn’t get home too late.
Again, much appreciated and all the best!
Greg and Briana
