Lost Ring Found! Uncasville Connecticut

  • from Westerly (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

A lost ring was found in Uncasville, Connecticut! Sara’s engagement ring was lost while doing yard work. She was planting flowers in the front yard and walking pulled weeds to the back yard brush pile. After tossing a handful of weeds into the pile, she started to walk away and noticed her wedding band was loose. Her worst nightmare came true when she looked down to resituate the band. The engagement ring was gone! She retraced her steps, crawled around in the grass searching, and purchased a metal detector from a local sporting goods store. NONE of these efforts were successful, and by the time she found me online, Sara had lost hope of finding the ring. We figured out a date, and I met her on her property. We discussed where the ring could have been lost and narrowed down the areas. I started searching with my metal detector in the most likely spots the ring was lost. I FOUND the engagement ring pretty quickly in the brush pile where she tossed the weeds!

Lost cell phone on the beach, Seaside Park NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Steve about a cell phone his wife had lost at the beach. He sounded pretty nervous, and explained that the tide was washing over the spot it was lost. I told him I would be there in about 20 min, and to stop digging with the shovel in fear that it would get broken, and the salt water would ruin it.  When I arrived there was a small moon creator where he had been digging. Steve explained his wife was doing a sand heart video when the hole caved in, which was about 2′ deep.  Then a few large waves washed over it and made it next to impossible for her to continue looking, that’s when she called him for help and the shovel. After a quick search of the area I came up empty handed. Unfortunately after slowly digging and searching it was still no where to be found, and he decided to give up. He messaged me the next day with a picture he didn’t know existed and it showed his wife about 3′ east of the area we had previously looked. To top that off it was right where he had put a large pile of sand to block the rising tide. He picked me up the next evening and the phone was found in about 5 minutes. Steve couldn’t believe how quick it went once we were searching the right area.

Lost Ring from the Boat – FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Bryan is a Police Officer from Tennessee and brought his whole family down to Perdido Key to enjoy a well deserved vacation.  They decided to rent a boat and headed down the waterway to the East and finally settled at a place where a lot of boats pull up close to the shore and enjoy the water and sun and sand.  Bryan’s wife took her ring off to apply sunscreen and put it down on the boat and quickly forgot that it was there.  It was only later in the day after they had moved the boat a couple of times and started to head back to the boat rental place that she had the panicked realization that she didn’t have her ring on and it was nowhere to be found.  Thankfully, when they got back, a kind soul saw them distressed and suggested that they reach out to me.  Bryan wasn’t completely sure of the name of the place and as he described it, I got a knot in my stomach.  All National Parks, National Seashores and Florida State Parks have made it illegal to metal detect.  To make matters worse, this was very close to a National Historic area and that makes it crazy illegal.  I explained to Bryan that I couldn’t go there and of course he understood.  Over the years, I have had this happen a few times and I’ve learned that the best way to approach it is to have the person who lost the ring reach out to the Park services.  We spent the next few hours googling and ultimately finding some contact info.  It wasn’t long until a contact that Bryan spoke to in Ohio of all places was able to put him in touch with the Chief Ranger here in FL and before you knew it, we had written permission to go on an adventure.  Bryan lamented that they no longer had the boat and were leaving for home on Saturday.  I was so vested in this ring now that I told him I would not only take vacation from work on Friday but I would also take him out there in my own personal boat.  We made plans to meet Friday morning and I called my Father-in-law, Tom and asked him if he wanted to go on a big search.  As always, Tom was ready to go.  The three of us headed out this morning in my boat and enjoyed the calm water and the dolphins rolling.  We even had a big spinner shark put on a show in the air off the starboard bow.  We were on a mission though and as soon as we dropped anchor we all piled off into the water.  Bryan had a pretty good idea where they started the day but as I mentioned before, they had moved the boat a few times and weren’t sure where it had fallen off.  I told Tom that I would start on the right and he took off to the left.  We both started our grid searches and it wasn’t long until we realized just how big this area was.  I learned more about Bryan though as we walked along and determined that regardless of how things went, I would consider him a friend.   After about an hour, I sent Bryan over to check on Tom.  I saw from a distance that Tom had a signal and I stopped to watch since targets had been few and far between out here. Tom gently scooped a couple of times so I knew it was deep.  He held out the scoop to Bryan and pulled something out that I couldn’t see from that distance.  I yelled “Did you find it” but I needn’t have bothered.  Even at that distance I could see Bryan’s expression change to one of shock and disbelief and gratitude all rolled into one.  Bryan had his wife’s ring back!  It was an awesome ride back with more dolphins and a huge group of jet skiers but the best part was facetimeing with Bryan’s happy bride.  Bryan, you are a good man and I thank you for all you do for your community.  I’m glad we could make that drive back to Tennessee a little bit easier tomorrow.  Nice Job to you Tom!  I’m glad you are on my team.

Lost Ring OB III Lavallette NJ found by Edward Trapper NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
I was tagged in a post about a lost ring at OB III Lavallette NJ over Memorial Day weekend. A few people had searched for the ring with no luck. I knew the general area it was lost, from the information I was given. Trevor had placed the ring in the chair pocket, applied some sun block, and shortly later fell asleep to the sounds of the surf hitting the beach. When he woke up he folded up the chair and forgot the ring was in the chair pocket. With that said I knew the location would be different than where he set up for the day at the beach. About a week later I went to do the recovery, and 20 min. later the ring was in the scoop. Trevor and I finally were able to make arrangements for him to pick up the ring, and now its back on back on his finger as I am writing this.

Mez called early in the morning. She had been at the beach the night before, lost her car key in the sand, and after much frantic looking, was unable to find it. She asked if I could help, and I let her know that I could be there in a short amount of time to do a search for her.

When I got to the beach we found each other quickly, and Mez explained what had happened. The problem was that at the time of the loss it was dark, and trying to recreate where a person was exactly is very hard to do. She showed me the area, and it was quite large for metal detecting because of the slow process. Also the County beach cleaning machine was working the area. Wisely she stopped the operator to let him know I was coming, so he dumped in the area to insure I could search what he had cleaned. I searched all of what she had shown me for about 1 1/2 hours, and the dump piles finding a lot of metal trash, but not the key. So I told her I would keep searching going up the beach further working my way towards the beach entry. She also was searching the sand above me as I was working by dragging her feet through the sand. I continued finding tin foil, bottle caps, and pull tabs, but no key. Mez was about 25 to 30 feet above me searching when she let out a shout, and held the key up for me to see. She was so happy to find it. Sometimes what we do in our process is eliminate an area allowing the person and ourselves to think and search outside of the box. Another win!

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again. I search, Beverly Hills, Hermosa Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Northridge, Pasadena, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Seal Beach, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Venice Beach, Zuma Beach, and all parks, yards, gardens, and ponds (to 5 foot depths) in all of Orange County, all of Los Angeles County, Southern California, and Ventura County.

It was the Friday before Memorial Day that Andres contacted me. He told me that he had lost his wedding ring while throwing a football to his son in the water at the beach. It had been 5 days, and I let him know that the possibility of a recovery had diminished because of the time involved, but let him also know that there was always hope. We decided to do a search that day, and arranged to meet at the location.

When we got there Andres took me out to the location of the loss, and explained what had happened. I began my search, working in and out of the water, up and down the slope. The problem was that the tide was coming in and pushing me up the slope, and limiting the area I could search. I searched for a couple of hours, but was unable to find his ring. I explained this to him, but told him that I would return the next day as the tide was going down, to search again, which I could see pleased him.

I got back to the beach Saturday morning as the tide was lowering, but Andres was unable to be there. I began my search again working way down the slope and into the water, gradually working my way up again. After about two hours in, and many pieces of metal trash, I received another signal to dig, this time it was Andres ring. I was excited; six days later, and it was still there. I sent him a text with the good news and a picture of the ring, and he replied that when he saw it tears came to his eyes. He came to the beach to get his ring back and we talked. He said you don’t know what this means to me, and then he told me his story. Andres is a Marine who served during the Gulf War. He recently lost his mother, his son just had a life threatening head injury, and he himself just had a life threatening and possibly debilitating medical emergency, then to top it all off he loses his wedding ring of 17 years. He got to wondering if things were going to get any worse, then I recovered his ring, and hope returned. I felt so honored to be the one to reignite the fire of hope in his heart, and to capture that great smile of a Marine veteran right before the day honoring those who served before us.

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again.

Heico and his wife were enjoying a day at the beach, when Heico took off his wedding ring, and placed it on the towel, to apply sun screen. Like all men our brain will only focus on one item at a time and the ring was forgotten. When leaving the beach Heico picked up the towel and realized he had no ring, they searched the location with no success. I responded early morning, and once he showed me the location, the ring was located quickly. Heico was amazed that it was exactly where they had searched, Heico was happy to have his wedding ring of 24 years returned.

Lost Texas A&M Class Ring in Tellico Lake

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by Natalie who lost her ring in Tellico Lake. Natalie is leaving in two weeks and was celebrating with some friends, having a going away party when she lost her ring. Time being of the essence I responded quickly as I could to make sure she didn’t leave without it. I arrived at the private property before Natalie could get there and talked to the homeowner who was expecting me. I went to the area that she described in a photo, after finding several rusty nails I finally found her ring in about 5ft of water.

I got out of the water to dry off and retrieve my phone from the car when Natalie arrived. Trying to surprise her we walked back to the area where she lost it and demonstrated hitting the volleyball, I was able to surprise her with the ring and give her a sigh of relief.

Family Ring Lost in South Yarmouth Yard, Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

June 4, 2023

Chris’s love is gardening and he spends most every day engaged with some aspect of his hobby. While finishing up the spring clean-up and some planting prior to mulching the garden beds his father’s wedding band slipped from his finger. More than likely it came off when his gardening gloves were removed to answer a phone call.

Over the next two days Chris spent hours looking for his ring. Some of the time he used a metal detector loaned to him. All his efforts were to no avail. At this point Heather, his daughter, contacted me for help. Of course I would help. I packed a few land detecting tools into my car and I was on my way. I parked in front of Chris’s home which was adorned with luscious green grass and many plants in the process of being set along walking paths and others into the many garden beds. I was glad I would not have to dig to retrieve the ring after finding its location. Locating the ring proved to be no easy task. The first two days of searching turned up one of three old pewter Christmas tree ornaments that went missing many years ago, a wheat cent and a few other odds and ends, but no ring.

With another day of searching in mind, I was getting ready when I received a phone call. A wedding band had been lost on a sandy ocean beach. There is always an urgency to recover a lost item from a public area, open to all. Not that Chris’s ring was not important, but his was on his own private property where it was very unlikely anyone else would find his ring apposed to a lost ring on a public beach. I made the decision to go to the beach where I was successful in finding and returning the beach band. I would go back to Chris’s another day.

The “another day” came and so did the bad beach weather, overcast sky, and light rain; nothing that would daunt my spirit to find Chris’s ring. I pulled up to the search area as Chris was on his way out to dinner. No problem, I knew where to search. The front yard was searched first, the leaf piles next, the cut off hydrangea followed. All proved they were not aiding in concealing the elusive ring. The brick and stone edging was last on my list before I would call an end to the day’s search.

Chris’s son and his wife stopped by to say hello before leaving to meet up with his family at a nearby restaurant. Another fifteen minutes passed with no signal from the ring. On my path from the far side of a tool shed I headed to a patio where Chris did transplanting of flowers. I went close by a brick paved area and at the very corner and I heard the sound I had been listening for. A close look at the ground and there was just a few glimmers of gold. I had found the ring. It was now time to capture the ring’s hiding place in my camera. My searching was over and it was time for the return.

Chris, I knew, was at the nearby restaurant and I had no problem gaining entrance and finding the family dining party. I normally would not interrupt a family gathering, but I knew everyone would enjoy being a party to the return of the ring. And so it was, a quick return one picture and several hand shakes and it was done. With the ring returned, my goal for the day was complete. I left knowing that the subject of dinner’s conversation would be of the ring and family, not the fabulous clam chowder. Unfortunately Heather was in Europe and was not present at the ring’s return. Had it not been for her effort, the ring may have stayed “lost” for many years.

I thank everyone for their part in making this happy ending to a lost family heirloom and more great memories of my hobby.
