Platinum Wedding Band Recovered by Rob Ellis, Arlington, VA.

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)

Paul was raking leaves in his backyard when he realized his platinum wedding ring was missing.

for recovery book post

Paul’s Ring

When I arrived at his home, he showed me exactly where he was raking and gathering leaves. He had searched very carefully in the area and kept the leaves for me to search with my detector.

It can be very frustrating for people to visually search for a ring and not find it. After interviewing Paul, I quickly found his ring with my Equinox 900 detector. Both of us had walked over the area earlier and missed seeing the ring, which was sitting in the thin grass. I asked Paul to come over so he could see the location and have the pleasure of retrieving his wedding band.

 

Don’t give up. Many of my clients have bought, borrowed, or rented a metal detector before calling me. Just because someone has a tool, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it. I use state of the art equipment, and I have thousands of hours of experience searching on land and underwater. If you have tried using a detector without success, please text/call to see if I can help.

For my fellow detectorists. Target IDs of this 8.6 gram platinum ring: Deus 2=56, Equinox 800=9-10, Equinox 900=21.

I was so happy to have found Paul’s ring. Unfortunately, there is no smile photo.For smile pic?

Lost – Ladies Gold Diamond Engagement Ring, Edgewater, F

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Late on Friday evening, I received a message on Facebook from Jodi. She had read my post about finding a lost ring and was hoping I could help her locate one she had lost back in October. I told her I’d give her a call first thing the next day.

When I spoke with Jodi the following morning, she explained that she had been wearing her engagement ring on a chain while helping a friend clean up after Hurricane Milton. At some point, she noticed the chain had broken, and the ring was gone. We made plans to meet at noon to begin the search.

As I drove toward Edgewater, I offered a quick prayer for guidance. Upon arriving, I met Jodi and Henrietta, the owner of the property. They showed me the area where they had been working. Since they’d been dragging brush and debris across a large section of the property, the ring could have ended up anywhere.

I fired up my Minelab Manticore and started scanning. My first hit was just a piece of yard debris, but the next signal sounded promising—a much more gold-like tone. After digging just a few inches into the soil, I uncovered something sparkling: the missing ring! The entire search had taken only two minutes.

Jodi was overjoyed, tears in her eyes as she hugged the ring close. Henrietta was equally thrilled to see her friend’s treasured possession returned.

2 Lost Gold Rings Found Inside House in Sterling Heights Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

FIND No. 200…….

……FAB-YULE-US !!……

…..Got a text from Marilyn just after Christmas 2024 stating her 2 gold rings went missing during her family’s celebrations. Hers was white gold w/ diamonds and her deceased mom’s ring is yellow gold w/ rubies. Marilyn remembered taking them off together but then couldn’t find them the next day. With lots going on Christmas day thinking back she was able to narrow the area in the house she felt was an area of interest. Mentioning she checked many locations I suggested we check again. Methodically going thru some items with my metal detector, a good signal sounded out. The rings appeared to have fallen into some bins and got stuck. Marilyn gasped in amazement as the rings appeared! Now with New Year here and the chiming of bells, She and her family will literally be ringing in the new year!

Spring Lake NJ, Necklace/Pendant lost in the sand, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

How to find ring with metal detector

Mitchell called about finding his lost chain and pendant, which had gone missing on a busy beach two days earlier. I reassured him that it might still be there and suggested we give it a shot. We agreed to meet by the closest road to where he had set up his chair that day.

I arrived a bit early and decided to start searching. The area was large, and I mostly found trash—usually a bad sign, indicating that another detector might have already combed the area. Something didn’t feel right, though, so I went back to review my notes. Mitchell had mentioned being closest to the middle chair, but when I first arrived, I only saw two chairs. Now that some swimmers had left, a third chair was visible, and everything clicked into place—I had been searching in the wrong spot.

This was a reminder of why it’s crucial for the person who lost the item to be there, and arriving early had thrown me off. Just as I realized this and headed to the correct location, I saw another detectorist pass by the spot where Mitchell believed his necklace should be. Fortunately, Mitchell had already arrived and confirmed the location, so we quickly began the search.

Within moments, I found his necklace safely in my scoop. Mitchell could hardly believe it; the necklace was a cherished family heirloom with immense sentimental value, and he had thought it was lost forever.

The call came after receiving a text from Kera. She explained that they had been in the middle of a playful snowball fight when her cherished gold Claddagh ring slipped from her finger and vanished into the white blanket covering the ground. After searching with no success, she reached out the Ring Finders South Jersey for help.
I met her parents at the scene and pulled out my metal detector. The snow had transformed the yard into an endless sea of white. After thirty minutes of careful scanning, the detector’s familiar tone broke through the winter silence. There, nestled in the yard, lay the gold ring—its distinctive Irish heart, crown, and hands design a welcome sight.
Everyone was relieved the ring was found!

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)

David was in need recently of my service after his wedding band disappeared in the backyard while pulling weeds. I arrived promptly and was able to recover his precious buried gold ring hidden amongst grass & other nearby metal objects. Instant relief when you think it may be lost forever.

This was an easy recovery for me but can be difficult or impossible when using metal detectors near homes & power lines due to Electrical interferences that causes the equipment to beep erratically. The Machine I used on this search has 96 different frequencies that I can quickly adjust for a stable threshold. It gets even more complicated when you need to ground balance or adjust the settings for the first time. Don’t waste your time or money,,Call a Professional Ring Finder!

 

 

Right Place, Right Time… Lost Cellphone FOUND while Metal Detecting at the Beach in Tampa Bay, FL!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee.  Call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7 at 610-504-6135.

I’m in Tampa Bay, Florida visiting my parents at their beach condo for New Years week.  My dad and I were out metal detecting at one of the local beaches yesterday (December 30th, 2024).  I was detecting on the wet sand along the shoreline when a gentleman flagged me down.  He told me that his wife, Lisa, had just lost her cellphone in the dry sand.  They tried raking their hands and feet through the sand, but couldn’t find it.  A couple next to them suggested using a metal detector… and they just so happened to spot me metal detecting, lol.  Talk about right place, right time!  I told him that I’d be more than happy to help.

We walked over and I met Lisa.  I asked the usual questions including how her cellphone was lost.  Lisa knew she had it on her when her family was moving their beach cart, towels, etc. closer to the shoreline.  It was a fairly small area to search with a metal detector, but it would be nearly impossible to find Lisa’s cellphone without one.  Her cellphone case is also a tan/sand color, so it easily blends in.

I asked Lisa for the outer boundaries and I setup a visual grid.  I cleared the main area in about 5-10 minutes with my Minelab Equinox 900.  Her family was digging a hole in the new area, so they picked up the toys and moved the beach cart out of the way.  I started searching the new area and got a good jumpy signal near the hole where the cart was.  I used my fingers to search the sand (I didn’t want to use my sand scoop and risk damaging Lisa’s cellphone).  I quickly felt and saw an outline of a cellphone!  We had found it!  I picked up the cellphone and held it in the air to show the group.  I gave Lisa a big hug and everyone around us began cheering.  Lisa was so happy and relieved to have her phone back!  We have so many photo memories and other personal things on a cellphone that we just can’t get back if it’s lost forever.

I talked with Lisa for a few minutes and she told me that her family is from Ohio.  They were in town for a wedding and decided to add a few days to their trip so they could go to the beach.  I was so happy that I was at that beach on that particular day and time.  Lisa said that getting her cellphone back really made her day/year.  I told her that it really made mine as well.  I give all praise and glory to God!

 

 

 

Here are the smiles I found in 2024!  7 items found — 5 rings, 1 earring, and 1 cellphone.  Happy New Years to all and God Bless!!!

Lost White Gold & Diamonds Wedding Rings at Ulua Lagoon Beach Ko Olina…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I returned from a hunt at Aulani Lagoon.  Shannon on vacation from Mt. Airy, Maryland left a voicemail saying his wife Kelly lost two White Gold & Diamonds Wedding Rings in the dry sand of Ulua lagoon.  While applying suntan lotion Kelly had taken off her rings and placed them on a beach chair.  Then as she went to adjust her chair the rings flew off into the sand and disappeared.  They had looked carefully but they were out of sight.  I told Shannon I would be over from the other lagoon in a moment and he told me there location on the beach.  As I headed down to the beach Shannon noticed me with my gear and waved me over.  We moved a beach chair out of the way and I started a grid search.  On the second leg I got a nice #10 on the Manticore and in one gentle scoop there were Kelly’s beautiful rings lying together in the scoop.  I let her reach in and retrieve them.  Shannon stated that wasn’t where they were looking and realized Kelly really adjusted that beach chair with some force.  All good, vacation saved.  Aloha to Kelly & Shannon!

Lost Property Markers (Irons) Found in Grosse Pointe Park Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Defining the Boundaries……

….Is something all of us have had to deal with all our lives, from childhood when our parents set boundaries and now as adults where we set boundaries on finances, who we are friends with, and how much we want to deal with any situation and so on. Defining boundaries also creates an atmosphere of mutual understanding by showing respect for ourselves and gaining the respect from people in general. When John called me, he discussed his interest in locating his property markers to help him define the boundaries of his land before he started to trim some trees. Using my magnetic locator metal detector, we did some quick measurements to get us in the area for each concealed property iron. It was quick work with the magnetic locator to reveal each iron. Now with these fine lines clearly defined, it’s up to John and each neighbor to honor that boundary.

Snowball Fight, Expensive Ring Lost… and Found!

If you lost jewelry or valuables – call me right away! 646-235-8797

Christmas snowball fights are all fun and games—until someone loses a Cartier Panthère ring in the backyard! That’s exactly what happened to Chloe while she was tossing snowballs with (and at!) her cousin on Christmas Day.

Chloe and her dad, Jack, spent three days braving the cold, searching high and low in the snow for her stunning 18K yellow gold ring, but it was nowhere to be found. That’s when Jack decided to call in some reinforcements—me!

On December 27, I arrived, ready to turn their snowy backyard into a treasure map. With a little patience and the help of my trusty metal detector, we struck gold (literally) in just 30 minutes!

The moment we found it, the joy and relief on their faces said it all. Chloe got her beautiful Cartier Panthère ring back, and the snowball fight story gained a happy ending everyone will remember for years to come.

Moral of the story? Snowball fights are better without losing jewelry, but if you do, The Ring Finders are here to help!
