Found Ring McCalla, AL

  • from Montevallo (Alabama, United States)

This all started November 22nd. Jennifer contacted me about her lost engagement ring, it just so happened to be her Grandmothers ring. She had a rough idea of where she lost it but was unable to locate it. Her and her husband had borrowed an older detector but was unable to pinpoint anything because « all it did was beep on everything » I assured her if it was there I would find it. She was going out of town for Thanksgiving and wanted to set something up for the following week. She contacted me Saturday the 30th after Thanksgiving and asked if I was available for Sunday mid-day to early afternoon. Knowing how sentimental this ring was to here I decided to load up the whole arsenal and my wife with her detector. We arrived and Jennifer showed me a few areas where she was doing some yard work. She was very confident it was in a small area where she was spreading straw. So we began. The spot was in an animal cage so I knew there would be some chatter from all the fencing, so I popped the small coil on and went to work. First signal hit strong and only gave me one arrow on the Equinox 700, a quick glance revealed a concrete slab right under the dirt with rebar in it. I knew then that was going to present a new obstacle. Second target sounded great and in the gold range, however it was a piece of foil. Then all the sudden a loud assertive double tone and a 22 popped up on the Equinox my wife and I looked at each other with silent joy as to not get anyone’s hopes up, but we knew that sound all to well. My wife reached down and brushed away the straw to reveal a beautiful vintage solitaire engagement ring. We silently walked the ring over to Jennifer, who was visually very upset, and placed it into her shaking hands. Immediately the emotions poured down her cheeks. Right then I knew this ring was truly something special for her. Listening to her tell us about the struggles she had faced this year, my wife and I both struggled to not cry both for her and with her. This was truly the most emotional and rewarding recovery I have done to date. This is why I do what I do.

Lost Yellow Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Queen’s Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Will from Washington DC who was visiting Waikiki with his fiance’e Hannah.  Will told me Hannah had lost her Yellow Gold & Diamonds engagement ring in the sand at Queen’s Beach in Waikiki and if I was able to help today or tomorrow.  Knowing this beach is heavily detected I asked if we could meet in about 4 hours as I would be off work then and could grab my gear at home and swing right over.  As I arrived Will and Hannah were just moments away and when they arrived Will drew a grid in the sand for me to search.  After about 10 minutes only trash targets were found.  After talking to Hannah I asked her to extend the grid out into the direction she jumped up when a bumblebee and pestered her and she jumped up and that was when she thought most likely the ring came off.  Surely, the first target in the next grid was a screaming gold tone and one scoop later there was Hannah’s stunning ring in the scoop.  I yelled over to her & Will « Got it! »  I let Hannah reach in the scoop to retrieve her ring and a sigh and look of relief was certainly evident.  Will said Thank you so much.  That truly saved our vacation.  My pleasure!  Aloha to Hannah & Will!  May the wedding be extra special!

Lost Gold Ring Found in Birmingham Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Un-Gloved….

…It started out a busy day for Mrs. Teena, for she had lots of places to go and a ton of tasks to complete around the house and yard. It was now evening and while enjoying dinner she noticed her ring was missing. Mentally going over where she may have lost the ring, she concluded that the characters involved in the disappearance was classy car, brownie leaf bag and friends, bladed grass, steely sewer drain or lefty grip glove and his right-hand man. Approaching classy car it said « It wasn’t me! I carry around a lot of weight but none of it is gold so go check brownie leaf bags! », and on doing so, no metal was detected with my MXT detector. Brownie bags got offended and said, « Why didn’t you check the bladed grass before me? ». Bladed grass was so thin we could see that the ring was not there but mentioned that steely sewer can see everything from below and noticed Mrs. Teena taking lefty grip glove and right-hand man on and off while filling up brownie leaf bags! But prior to my arrival Mrs. Teena checked both gloves and found nothing. I asked where grippy gloves were hiding and she said they were concealed out of sight by the house. I said that’s the clue we were waiting for! Lifting up the gloves I proceeded to scan them with my detector and got a metal signal and reading that indicated GOLD! Mrs. Teena and husband were awe struck and said again that she checked the gloves. So, reaching into the finger slot I was able to wiggle out Mrs. Teena’s very thin gold ring that lefty grip glove was hiding! Both she and husband were thrilled that this winning move to recover the ring fit like a glove!

Lost Tungsten Ring Found in Sterling Heights Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Mulch Ado About Nothing……

…As David was hurrying to finish his outside tasks for the year his ring disappeared and with way too mulch on his agenda didn’t realize it until later that night. After looking without mulch luck, he called me to come by to metal detect. Fretting over the phone about not knowing where it was, I told his wife out in the yard that it wouldn’t be too mulch trouble to find it. Scanning the grounds I got no junk signals but nearing the end of the mulch beds I got a great signal and reading on the detector’s meter where tungsten rings usually appear. Probing down a bit with the pin pointer I got a metal target. Reaching down revealed David’s tungsten ring! I walked around to the front door and presented the ring to David’s wife and with mulch enthusiasm on the phone David said mulch obliged!

I received a call from Andy who stated that his wife’s wedding ring had been lost in the area of his driveway. We talked for a bit and exchanged a few texts and I arranged to go out the next morning.

Andy met me at his home and stated that he thought the ring was in or around a bush next to the driveway. He thought he saw the ring fall into that area but he and a neighbor who had a metal detector were unable to find it. I immediately went to work feeling pretty confident that the ring would be somewhere close but probably not in the bush if the neighbor did not find it. I soon figured out why the other person had a tough time as the ground was super loud with all sorts of sounds. I checked around the bush and then expanded my search but came up empty. I then commandeered a trash can and started to clean up the leaves along the side of the driveway but again…nothing. I then went back into the area of the bush and with my detector and pin pointer and started to pull out some small nails and a few other targets. I kept getting a hit at the base of the bush and but I could not locate the source. I kept going removing lot of leaves and some mulch…the target was there but ever elusive. All of a sudden – I found the ring!! It was located at the base of the bush which was coiled around like a spring and had gotten covered up, maybe from the previous searches.

I called Andy who came back to retrieve the ring. I told him it was in the bush where he thought but it was really tough find. Andy was very thankful and immediately took the ring inside for when his wife arrived home. As always it was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client like Andy and return his wife’s wedding ring.

Lost White Gold & Diamonds Wedding Band at Kaimana Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a call from Dean who was on vacation from Newport Beach, California and enjoying his vacation on Kaimana Beach in Waikiki.  The day before he had placed his ring in his towel and when he picked it up the ring flew out and disappeared into the fine sand of Kaimana Beach.  Knowing Kaimana Beach is heavily detected and it was lost the day before I asked Dean to go to the beach and guard the lost area until I could get there.  It was my lunch break so I knew I could get there in a few minutes and hopefully the ring hadn’t been found.  When I arrived at the beach Dean & Rick were waiting.  They showed me the area and I fired up the « BEAST ».  First target #30 on the VDI.  Boom!  Dean’s awesome white gold & diamond ring was in the scoop.  I was amazed how quickly it was found as the area was a few parking stalls in size.  Back to work in record time and Dean’s family was so appreciative of the recovery.  Aloha to Dean & Rick

 

Diamond Engagement Ring lost in the sand, Lavallette NJ (OB3) recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Jersey shore ring finder

I was spending the holiday weekend with my family at Island Beach State Park when I received a frantic call from Megan. She was incredibly upset, having just lost her rings in the sand moments before. While she had managed to recover two of them, her cherished engagement ring was nowhere to be found. I calmed her down, advising her to stop digging and simply wait, assuring her I would be there in a few hours. Since Megan and her family were staying for the day and had secured the area with their beach gear, there wasn’t an urgent rush. Had the situation been different, I would have dropped everything and headed there immediately.

When I arrived, Megan pointed out the area where the ring had gone missing, and I wasted no time getting to work. Initially, I had to clear a few loud signals that were overpowering the delicate tone of her ring. Once those were taken care of, my metal detector honed in on the ring’s unique signal. Within seconds, her engagement ring was safely in my scoop. The relief on her face made the search all the more rewarding!

This ring find began when I got a text from Emanuel on vacation from Portland, Oregon saying, « My wife lost her wedding band on Sunday while swimming in the lagoon number 3.  She was swimming in chest deep water along the shore.  We agreed to meet Friday afternoon as their schedule was busy and the surf was freakishly up in the lagoons.  When I arrived Emanuel showed me the swim route and I began my grid search.  It was quite a large area and about 45 minutes into the hunt in belly deep water the Manticore found the yellow gold wedding band.  They were waiting in chairs on the beach and I waved that I found Viorica’s ring.  Emanual said, « God bless you!  You really made our day. »  Big smiles all around.  Aloha to Viorica & Emanuel!

One recent sabbath day I had another successful ring recovery that was lost while playing cricket ball during a tournament in San Diego. Kaushik felt the ring slip off & called me just after it happened. He offered me a reward to help & I was there later when they had a break in the game for me to perform a grid search with my metal detector equipment.

This didn’t take long to unearth from the thick grass as he knew the approximate area and I know the sound of Gold rings! Kaushik was relieved & The team cheered when I found it.
