I recovered this Lost gold wedding ring on 6/26/15 for nice young lady who lost it while swimming with her kids. She explained that she lost her ring a few days earlier while she was playing with her kids in the water. It appears that before she entered the water she was putting lotion on her and the kids and when she got in the water, the combination of the lotion and the water caused the ring to slip off her finger. The ring was recovered in about 3 feet of water.. Here are some photos of the ring . It was a pleasure to help her out but the sad part is my detector developed a leak during the search which caused it to short out and break just after I found her ring. Atleast i was able to find her ring before it broke, I’m glad about that..
Got a call at 8:30AM on Sunday, Fathers Day.
Woman was very upset that she lost both her wedding band and her engagement ring at North Ave Beach on Saturday. Took off her rings to put on lotion and forgot they were on her lap. She was leaving Chicago shortly on Sunday. Time was of the essence. Didn’t want to break the news to her husband on Father’s Day that she lost both rings. Since they were white gold and I didn’t know how small they were, I decided to take the XP Deus and hunt in 18kHz. They had been searching the area 3 different times and lots of people had been trying to help her find them. I gridded off the area that she had been in. They were both down about 5 inches. Probably because people had been moving the sand around. Both rings came in at 45 in my ring program that Andy Sabisch helped me set up at his XP Deus Bootcamp. As you can see the wedding band was very thin, although covered in diamonds. Don’t think I would have found it if I had not been in 18kHz. Found it in less than 10 minutes.
The owner was in tears she was so relieved. She kept saying that I saved her. She was so excited to get the rings back on her hands that you can still see the sand on them! It’s great to be able to help people. What a great hobby. Thanks Andy,thanks XP Deus team, thanks Ron Shore from Windy City Detector Sales and Rental, and special thanks to TheRingfinders Database so she could find me.
Arnie lost his 1958 class ring, and read an article about us in the local paper and wondered if we could help him find his lost ring from 4 years ago. Check out the write up below, which includes video of the actual ring hunt … did we find his ring? You’ll have to read it to find out … wait, of course did, why else would I be posting this … check out the size of that ring!
I was contacted by Damian regarding his wife’s lost wedding band. Damian reported his wife had been playing in the backyard with her young son when she lost her wedding rings.
Damian’s wife Mary, had reportedly placed her rings in her pocket while playing with her son in the backyard. Mary said after playing with her son she discovered her rings had fallen out of her front pocket. Damian said they searched the backyard on their hand and knees and were able to find the diamond engagement ring, but not the diamond wedding band.
We made arrangements to meet the following day and search for the missing wedding band.

I was contacted by Josh regarding a lost car key. Josh reported the metal key part of his key FOB (the actually key) had broken off the FOB and possibly landed in the grass in front of his residence. Josh said he had back tracked his steps, and the only other possible location the key could have fallen was in the grass between his driveway and front door.
Josh said a replacement key at the dealer would be several hundred dollars without the other key to serve as a duplicate (a re-cut) versus the dealer having to make a new one from the Vehicle Identification Code.
I met with Josh at his residence today and searched for the lost car key.

During a heated argument last Thursday a future husband throws his future bride’s 2 rings into the back yard.
They find one of them but not the other. He called me from PA where they are moving to.
Bride to be is in shock because they had to leave the house in Michigan soon. Mother-in-law, pictured with ring, and I search the suspected area. We had lots of rain over the weekend and I told them it may have pushed it down in the ground. Using my older but trusty Garrett metal detector I searched for about half hr and got lots of signals, junk and coins….but then I got a double beep repeatable with very slow sweeps from all directions. Coming up in the ring range on the detector meter the depth registered on the surface and was in the direction of how they were thrown. This was also in the vicinity of where the main ring was found previously. A quick check with the pinpointer and moving the grass revealed the ring laying flat just sunk into the earths surface. Mother in law screams in excitement as I lifted it into the sunlight.
Quite a little beauty and look at all those diamonds! Everyone is happy and another great find!
I’m starting to think that Union Civil War General George Meade was not fond of jewelry and his ghost may be playing a role in the amount of lost rings at the Maryland fort that is named in his honor! A few weeks ago I received a call from Dina telling me how her husband lost his wedding ring in their back yard about a year prior. They we certain it was lost back there and because of that I felt confident that I could find it. I’ll let Dina tell the rest of the story in her own words…..
A year ago my hubby lost his wedding ring of 11 years the same week that he was scheduled to ship out to South Korea for a year long Army deployment. He was jumping on our backyard trampoline with our two children when he felt the ring fly off. He had lost some weight since we were married and I had been telling him to get it resized; not that I’m saying I TOLD HIM SO or anything of the kind. The four of us searched the perimeter to no avail. We brought out the child’s metal detector that we already had but it dinged on everything on the ground.
Seven months and many rainy and frigid days later, I gave up on ever finding it and bought him a new ring for Christmas. He wasn’t entirely thrilled with it; he was still attached to the original ring because I had had it engraved inside with a surprise « inside joke » phrase between us.
This April, the year in Korea was finally coming to an end and I figured I’d call in a professional as a last ditch effort before we moved away from Fort Meade the following month. My husband scoffed at the idea of Ringfinders locating his lost band, but I called Jim Wagner. I was immediately impressed at how professional and thorough he was on the phone with his questions and comments. The day he arrived I wasn’t expecting him to find anything, but he was confident and his efforts paid off in about 15 minutes! The ring was lodged in the mud close to the trampoline. My hubby was in such disbelief that he asked me to email him a photo as proof! We are so thankful to Jim for recovering something that had such great sentimental value to us.

I am glad I was successful. This one was a bit more special as I was able to return something to a family that serves and protects our freedom every day.
I was contacted on Sunday by Wendell regarding his lost wedding ring. Wendell said he had been burning some debris on his property a few days ago when a small ember of hot ash had landed on his hand. Wendell said he felt the burning ember on his hand, and in an effort to dislodge it, he shook his hand aggressively. Wendell said he was pretty sure that’s when his wedding ring of 40 plus years went flying through the air.

I met Wendell at his property today in Southeast Houston to look for the missing ring. Wendell demonstrated how and were the event had occurred and outlined a specific area he believed the ring had landed.
We set out to find his ring, and after a few minutes of searching it was clear the ring was not in the described location. I began marking shallow targets (I use orange painted skewers) to identify previous examined spots, keeps me from looking at them again on the cross cut of the grid search.
I pushed the search out well beyond where Wendell believed his ring would be found, and in the opposite direction. A few minutes later, a good signal from the CTX3030 and the sight of a large yellow gold ring sitting under the search coil.
I was glad to see Wendell back in possession of his wedding ring of 40 years, I think his smile says the rest.
