Andrew holding his lost ring shortly after it was found today in NJ

HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. — Several years ago, Andrew was tossing some yard debris down an embankment on his property when a family heirloom ring he had worn flew off into the leafy hillside below. Thinking the ring was lost, he wrote it off to bad luck.

The heirloom ring being pulled from the dirt where it had been missing for five years

As time wore on, Andrew decided to rekindle the search and contacted Ringfinder Bill Leasure. Bill searched the hillside up and down and side to side, for several hours. Finally, after moving some old two by fours, a strong signal emerged from the leaves below. About two inches down, the shining ring popped out of its years-long hiding spot. Another successful recovery by Ringfinder Bill Leasure, finding Northern New Jersey’s lost rings one happy customer at a time.

Lost Gold Ring Found in Farmington Hills Michigan

Kiss the Blarney Gold!

Excited to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and with a spring in his step, Walt decided to do some chores around the yard before enjoying some fine food and drink. Upon completion he noticed his gold ring fell off. As we were walking to the backyard, I looked around and didn’t see any rainbows or leprechauns, so I randomly picked an area to start metal detecting. Using my MXT bigfoot coil attached to my shillelagh I started to grid search. Within a few minutes I got a nice signal and sound on the metal detector. Reaching down into the leaves revealed his concealed gold ring! Lifting it out I handed it to Walt who kissed the gold ring and said, May the road always rise to meet you and wherever you go and whatever you do, may the luck of the Irish be with you!

Property Pin located in West Kelowna BC

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

June moved into her West Kelowna home 1 year ago, now it is time to start renovations, starting with a fence. However it is not a new home and the Survey pins are hidden, June found me on « The Ringfinders » and gave me a call for assistance. I responded the next day with my Metal Detector. the lot is an odd shape so the backyard was difficult to locate, the front yard had a large tree on both fronts, the one on the left was overgrown, the one on the right was large but groomed back. I stated searching by the utilities and Water shut off. A few old targets, but no pin so I moved around the supposedly neighbours tree and there it was 12 inches away from the tree. Now June can get a lot blueprint and measure from that pin.

Bill contacted me about doing a search at his property where his home had succumbed to the fire in January. He was most interested in finding his wife’s wedding and engagement rings. We arranged a day and time to meet, and I was able to go.

When I got there Bill was already at the property. I introduced myself, and began asking questions, wanting to know where the rings had been, and where he thought I should look. His wife was on the way, but we got started right away. Bill showed me the area where he remembered last seeing the jewelry box, and we ran an estimated area of the search. I donned my safety gear, and began moving the big stuff out of the way in order to get to finer debris. When Bill’s wife Lourdes arrived, she came over to say that I was looking in the wrong area, and that I should be looking on the other side of the room. She showed me where she believed the rings should be. and that’s where I began. It wasn’t that Bill was wrong because there was a jewelry box where he remembered, but what he didn’t know was that his wife put her rings elsewhere. Knowing where to look is very important in these searches. I began working through the debris shovelful by shovelful, and noticed that Bill and Lourdes had left. Not long after, I found the wedding ring and placed in a container. When they returned Lourdes came up and asked how things were going, and I showed her the ring I found. She got very excited and hopeful that the other ring would be found. About 15 minutes later I was able to find the engagement ring, which pretty much made their day. They had lost everything, but I was able to help them find a precious memory, and bring a little joy back in their lives.

I got a call from Don on my way home from Digstock in NC. He lost his wedding ring in his backyard a few months ago and wanted to see if I could come out and look for it. He had looked, even with a metal detector, and did not have any luck. After getting home and checking my schedule I went out the next day.

When I arrived I met Don’s wife and she showed me where to look. Pretty standard, big hill for sledding with a few small trees and a little area of brush. I started to look and before too long Don came back from work. After about a half hour I found his ring in a mossy area a short distance from where he thought he might have lost it. I gave it to his wife to give to him when he came out of the house. He was happy it was found and I took him to the back to show him where. There had been some pretty good sounds in the backyard and Don told me it was an old golf course. He gave me permission to look around which I was very appreciative. On top of finding his ring I added a bit more clad to the collection, nothing good but it was a beautiful day and a new place to look. As always it was nice to meet another kind and generous client and be able to return their ring to them.

Lost – Men’s Gold wedding band, DeLand, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Sunday evening, I got a text from Ron. He was working in his backyard and had lost his gold wedding ring.  Since it was on his property, we agreed to meet in the morning to look for it.

I arrived at Ron’s home, where beautiful oak trees, adorned with Spanish moss, dotted the property.  Ron took me to the back of the lot and showed me an area with some planting beds adjacent to a fence and storage area.  He said he felt it fly but searched and raked to no avail.

I fired up the Minelab Manticore and started the search at the East end of the planting beds.  There were lots of targets, so I decide to walk and cover the entire area without investigating any of the hits.  As I got between the West of the planting bed and the storage area…something caught my eye!  I was looking at the twinkling of the gold ring in the sun.

This ring representing twenty-six years of marriage was a sight find!  I gave the ring to the happy owner!  God is good.

I was contacted by Tim who had lost his gold wedding ring. He was not sure but he thought it flew off his hand in the backyard when he was throwing hay. Tim has some dogs and the backyard was getting a bit muddy so he was trying to keep the yard from turning into a mud pit. He normally uses his right hand but after having shoulder surgery he was forced to use his left. It was after he was working in the yard he noticed his ring was missing. When Tim called he was a little frustrated as he had went to a local tool rental and rented a metal detector but all it did was beep! I told Tim that was normal and I would check to see when I could come out.

I checked my scheduled and the weather and decided that I could make it the next day. I took off and let Tim know I was coming. Of course the weather had looked great but when I pulled in it started to rain. Tim showed me the yard, pretty standard with a steep incline on both sides. He was guessing it was on the flat part where he had spread most of the hay. I got to work and much to my surprise the ground sounded pretty good and I was able to use my large coil. I cleared the first part with no luck and went down to the steep incline on the right side. After a few passes I ran into the ring, I don’t know if I saw it or heard it first but there it was. I picked it up and it was a beautiful ring and big! I walked up the hill and told Tim it was pretty ugly down there just before I handed him his ring. He could not believe I had found it and gave me a big hug. Tim then told me when I did not find it on the flat his heart had sunk and he thought it was gone. Funny thing is that thought had never crossed my mind yet as I has a lot more area to cover. I was glad to have found it and we thanked St. Anthony as we had both asked for some divine intervention. Tim and I talked for quite a while afterwards and his wife was also kind enough to thank me as well. Tim explained to me he reached out to his jeweler and the replacement cost for the ring was double or maybe even more. More importantly he told me the diamonds in the ring were extra special as they were from both his and his wife’s families and even if he had to have the ring replaced he did not anymore special diamonds to put into it. Thankfully he did not have to worry about that. It was awesome to meet another kind and extremely generous client and reunite him with his special wedding ring.

Lost Sentimental Gold Cross & Chain at Paradise Cove Beach Ko Loina…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This Gold Cross & Necklace hunt began when I got a call from Jose who is from Columbia and was vacationing on Oahu.  While enjoying the waters of Paradise Cove Beach, Jose  had taken his cross and necklce off for safe keeping and placed it on a towel.  Unbeknownst to the family members someone used the towel and when Jose came out of the water the cross & necklace were no where to be found.  He found « Metal Detector services » on Google and gave me a call.  I was wrapping up my work day, so I told Jose I would run home, grab my gear and head on over in about an hour.  They waited for me to arrive and when I got there Jose and his lovely wife met me on the beach to show me where they thought the cross & necklace would be.  Jose drew a box in the sand and I started the grid search.  A few minor trash targets, then a nice solid 18 on the Manticore and in one scoop there was the beautiful necklace glistening in the scoop.  Jose and his family were overjoyed as I was in the last line of the grid and they were worried.  I always try hard to find Jesus and today we did.  Aloha to Jose and his family!

Maria contacted me about the loss of her house, and wondered if I would be available to help her find some missing items that were left behind. I let her know when I would be free for the search, and we arranged to meet at a local restaurant because her house was in a gated community.

When I arrived I really wasn’t expecting what I saw. The house was partially standing, and it was built with a steel infrastructure which was all over the place. She told me that one of the most important items to find was a diamond engagement ring that had been given to her by her husband who had passed at an early age. she showed me where she last believed it had been, but on the second floor which was now on the first floor. So I began to work. I found many parts of figurines with a couple intact. I also found a bunch of doll arms and legs. I used a reciprocating saw to remove some of the steel beams in order to get at some of the rubble underneath them, and began finding coins. I felt I had found the area where the ring would be, so I kept sifting. I worked that area until I was scraping the floor all over, but no ring. After 5 hours, I had 168 coins, numerous doll arms and legs, and 2 intact chains along with 4 chain fragments.

Maria asked if I could come back to look again in a different area, so we agreed on another day for the search. When I arrived, Maria was already shoveling rubble to be sifted, and I got right to work. I worked for another 3 hours, and we were able to find the ring she really wanted to find as well as 2 others, and 2 earrings. With all of these searches I find that the people I am helping are hurt, very hurt, but not broken. There is a deep resilience in their character that I admire.

I did come back a 3rd time, and was only able to find a few chain fragments.
