Lost Keys in Park Found in Melvindale Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Deja Vu…..

….came over me when I received a call from Shema whom I had found a lost ring for not too long ago. Thinking I was butt dialed, a text from her said she needed my help again. Returning her call, I learned that she was jogging in a park yesterday at dusk. She stopped a few times and sat in the grass and when she got to her car her keys were gone. Searching in the dark with the light on her cell phone brought no luck. With the grass so dry and brown I decided that her and I walk a grid pattern and just visually look for the keys. Time was of the essence as she had a scheduled softball game this afternoon. We covered quite a bit of the park and when the larger chunks of ground were examined, we split up over the smaller pieces that remained. While Shema took a longer sliver shaped area, I started to search near the picnic shelter. As I looked down near a small depression in the ground, I saw the shape of the key fob and key next to a square post that she apparently sat against when the keys came out of her pocket. I immediately texted her to hurry over to me. As she reached for her keys and lifted them from the ground she was thrilled beyond belief! Seeing the relief come over her with the recovery and smiles along with the thrill I receive from helping was indeed Deja vu all over again!

Lost Platinum Wedding Band at Punaluu Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text Monday from John who lives on Oahu with his lovely wife Kiara at the Ko Olina Resort.  In the text John told me that Sunday afternoon while spending time with his wife and in-laws at Punaluu Beach relaxing in the shallow water, he got bumped pretty hard from an incoming swell set and noticed his ring missing after removing his hand from the water.  He immediately told everyone and they commenced a snorkeling search to no avail.  John sent me a google earth pic of the required search area and I went that afternoon.  I started my grid search at the South end and worked North.  Thankfully it was fairly clean and I only found a few fishing weights and can slaw.  As I was nearing the end of the grid thinking this was going to be a bust, I got a nice tone on the Nox and in one scoop there was John’s Platinum Wedding band in the scoop.  I texted him a pic that « I got it » and we agreed to meet at Ko Olina Friday AM for the return.  What a wonderful couple. They were very appreciative and rewarded me handsomely!  Aloha to John & Tiara!

Lost – 3 Pc Diamond Wedding Band Set, Corolla, OBX, NC – FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Around 10:30 on Friday I got a text from a Karen.  She said that she had lost her wedding and anniversary bands on the beach yesterday.  I gave Karen a call and let her know that I would head out right away, but it would take about 30 minutes depending on the traffic in Duck.

When I arrived Karen took me to the beach where I met Chris her husband and they filled me in on the area that they thought they had lost the rings.  It was an area about 20 by 10 yards away from the water, so I thought there would be a great chance that they were still there.  After about 4 passes with the XP Deus II; no luck.

As I normally do, I started asking more questions about if they had gone to the water and the path, they had taken leaving.  She had not gone to the water with the rings on, so I concentrated on the path to the steps which passed through the area of another group.

As I came near the group with seven or eight aluminum chairs, I got a great hit!  It was the first ring.  Karen began to cry.  The second ring was nearby.  But the gold one was still missing.  I covered the entire area to the steps.  On the way back, I prayed.

With nothing else to do and standing on ground that I had already covered, the neighbor group volunteered to move, and I agreed that it would be the next best step.  As they were moving, I looked down.  In the sand was the outline of the edge of a gold ring!!!  Could it be?  It was.  I picked up the ring and shouted, “Stop moving, there’s no need to move!”  When I did, I could hear Karen behind me and the left chuckling.  She had her three rings back!

Lost – Lady’s White Gold Diamond Wedding Band, Outer Banks, OBX, NC – FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

I couldn’t sleep well Thursday night.  Around 2 a.m. I got up and looked at my phone.  Someone had mentioned me on Facebook.  It was on a lost ring post.  DIAMOND WEDDING BAND LOST.  It even named the town and access point.  I sent a text to the number listed to call me.   No call.

I decided to get up early and go down to the access to see if I could find it.  At around 6 I called the owner but got not answer.  Trying to find a ring on a beach with no information is a daunting task.

I covered all the obvious areas, close to the water, near the steps entering the beach, areas that showed lots of activity and I even found an area that looked like someone had been searching by sweeping their feet.  Just then a man approached me waving his arms and saying, “excuse me.”

“My wife lost her diamond wedding band last night.”  I asked, “Christina?”  He looked and me very strangely and I said her name was in a Facebook post.

He led me over to the area where they had searched by sweeping their feet.  I started with a long sweep parallel to the beach.  On the second sweep, I got a great hit.  I knew it was the ring.  As I handed it to Christina, she began to cry.  Her ring of 20 years was back where it belonged…on her finger!

I had just gotten out of bed in the morning when Molly called. She was very concerned about a ring she had lost the night before, and was asking for help. I asked about the beach, and when she told me, I knew it was one that is cleaned meticulously with machines by the county, so I inquired more about the area, and when she told me that she believed it was lost on the slope down to the water it sounded like a good possibility of a recovery. We agreed to meet there when I was able to wake up and get ready.

We arrived very close to the same time, and found each other. When we looked out over the sand it looked like someone had dragged a 2×4 over the sand, it was smoothed out by the machines, all of it. She showed me where she believed the loss occurred, and it was on the slope untouched by the machines. I began my search in a nice tight grid not finding very much except pieces of aluminum cans. I continued on making sure to cover every inch of ground in order to not miss anything. When after about 6 passes, at the top of the slope, not more than 8 inches from where the machines had gone through I received a real nice signal, dug and there it was, the ring Molly had described. If it had been 8 inches further up it likely would have been gone; luck of the Irish maybe. I held it up, and she ran over very emotional at the sight of it again. She told me that when she was 13 her Irish father gave her that ring, and she has worn it everyday since, so losing it left her emotionally drained. But look at that smile, that’s why we do what we do as Ring Finders; AWESOME RIGHT?!

I got a call from Ethan at about 9:00 PM asking for help in finding a pendant that came off a broken chain in the sand at the beach that day. His girlfriend of 2 months studied a semester in Europe, and brought the pendant back for him which made it very special. He and his friends looked and looked, but were unable to find it. This is one of those beaches that are cleaned daily, so I knew that time was going to be the enemy here, so I told him that I would come right out for a search.

I got to the beach, but we were having a difficult time finding each other because Ethan was from out of town and did not know the area well. I ended up getting stuck in the beach sand while looking for him. Ethan then got his friends together and found me, and helped get my truck out of the sand; a new Ring Finders experience for sure. I followed them back to the area of the loss, and Ethan showed what happened showing the area he believed the pendant might be. The search was quit difficult because it was close to one of the fire pits which had a considerable amount of trash metal and iron making it hard to find a good signal. I searched the whole area with one detector, and then switched to another that I believed might work through the trash better. At about 11:00 PM, and after about 5 passes in one of my diggings, way in the back of my scoop I saw something odd shaped and reached in for it. It was the pendant, which I held out for Ethan. Everybody was elated at the sight of the pendant knowing that Ethan was leaving the next day back home with what he held so dear.

Lost Wedding Ring in the Gulf, Orange Beach-FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

Doug and Kristen have been married for 27 years. They have raised a family together and been through good times and bad. One of the tough times is watching Doug battle cancer. Thank goodness he is currently stable and they were able to get away to Orange Beach for a vacation. One constant these 27 years has been Doug’s gold wedding band on his hand. That is until this week when he was throwing football with his son in the Gulf of Mexico and it went flying. They tried searching all around for the rest of the day and they even used a mask and snorkel since they knew roughly where it had landed. Unfortunately the ring had already buried deep in the sand and they were unable to find it. The next morning Kristen went online and luckily was able to find me through the Ringfinders and a referral or two from some very thoughtful people. Doug called and after just a few minutes I knew we had to find that ring!  I made plans to come that afternoon since I already had work scheduled for the day but I assured them that the ring would still be there when I got there. When I got to their condo I spoke with the ladies in the front office and they were kind enough to give me a parking pass. I grabbed my gear and headed down to the beach and met Doug and Kristen and their family. Doug immediately walked me out in the water where he thought he had been standing the day before. It was just less than waist deep and he explained how the ring had come off when he went for a football. I asked him if it went deeper or shallower and as he re-enacted the scene I got him to point exactly where he thought it might be. Doug wished me luck as he walked back to his family to sit and watch and I turned on my machine and got the settings tweaked for the saltwater. I started my search and took one swing to the right, one swing to the left and a small step forward. As I was swinging the coil back to the right I immediately heard a beautiful gold tone. I took a really deep scoop since I didn’t want to nick it. They had searched for over a day and it was already about 5” deep. On the first try I looked in the scoop and there was the ring that had been with Doug through so many memories. I indicated that I had it and started walking in. Nobody really reacted and Kristen told me later that they thought I was joking that I had found it so quickly. 😃 When reality hit they all got so excited and justifiably a little shaken up. I’m so glad that I could be part of the continuation of your story. Doug and Kristen, I wish you health and happiness for many, many more years. God Bless!

Lost Platinum ring in back yard

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)

The other day I was contacted by Preston who lost his platinum wedding ring in his back yard 5 days ago while playing with his kids. When he realized it was gone and he went out and purchased a metal detector but was unable to find it. While searching the internet he came across the ring finders website and texted me for some assistance. I came out the very next day and searched for about two hours before I came across an 8 and 9 signal on the equinox 800. Surprisingly it was about 80% buried in the dirt. Im sure that was because we have had substantial rain fall in the past few weeks. Preston and his wife are incredibly happy I recovered his ring.
