Family Crest Ring Reunited. 21rst Birthday Present Ring Reunited

Contact:
Got a call from Luke Barube last night, he is also a Ring Finder. After getting home from finding a ring for someone yesterday, he received another call about a family crest ring lost, because it was so far away he called me in on it. I asked Luke to pass my info along to him.
Later that evening, I received a call from Andy, who said he had lost his 14K yellow Gold family crest ring, it happened about a month earlier in chest deep water, while playing with his dog.
 I told him that there is no guarantee, but I will give it a heck of a try. Andy also said it was a Birthday present for turning 21. We walked down to the beach a few blocks away. I asked him to walk out to the area, stop and turn around, that I would walk out to him. I turned on my detector, and walked two feet while swinging, and my very first signal turned out was his family crest ring staring up at me in my scoop.It was very deep, even after a month in the saltwater. I motioned to him to come over, and he just couldn’t believe I had it already, or that I had found it at all. This is why we do what we do. After a few woo hoo’s and fist pumps, we walked back to the cottage and he yelled to his wife Dianne “We got it” her response was that’s just incredible. Congratulations. Andy said he has a real Treasure story to tell at the BBQ this weekend. I told him he’ll be a hit. Glad it back where it belongs.
Sincerely  Leighton,

50 Years of Marriage. Wedding Band found in bushes (lost,Found,Reunited)

Contact:

50 Years of Marriage.

Upon getting in from detecting I got a call from a gentleman named Jim that lived very close to me. He proceeded to tell me how he had lost his wedding band a few days earlier. He said he tripped down a few stairs and landed in some Pachysandra plants. His wife of over 50 years their neighbors all searched for it a few times to no avail. I told him I’ll come rite over and have a look. Never any guaranty but let’s give it a try.

When I got there we walked across the street to the neighbors house as he talked about it and that it’s very sentimental to him and his wife Kathy and worth around $4,000.00 to replace it. It was a very small area to search. I only had one signal, and It was a nail, Grrr… we were running out of real-estate fast, but I told him not to give up till he sees me get into my truck and leave. I looked around the corner of the house close to that small patch, and noticed a broken Hydrangea plant stem. He hit it and broke it with his arm when he fell, I spread the bush apart and laying at the bottom of the plant on the lowest stem possible hanging from it was his beautiful wedding band that had two rows of 5 diamonds. No pinpointed needed. I asked him how much does he like me?  He started to cry immediately, he knew I had found it. After a few moments he caught his breath enough to Thank me, I said It was absolutely my pleasure, and was so glad he has it back on that finger. Happy Anniversary my friend.

Sincerely Leighton

Lost Wedding Band Reunited With Owner, Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Four years ago, Matt approached me while I was metal detecting offshore on a local beach.  He’d just lost his wedding band in the water and asked if I’d mind looking for it.  I was glad to help, and after he showed me the area where it was lost I searched for several hours but was unable to find the ring.  When it came time to leave I looked for Matt but he had left.  All I had was his first name and information he’d given me about the words that were engraved inside his ring.

Fast forward a year.  Detecting in the same area, just for fun and relaxation, I found the ring.  There was no doubt about it — the engraving was exactly as Matt had described it.  But what could I do to track him down?  I tried posting notices at the beach and on Craig’s List without success, then finally gave up, set the ring aside, and forgot about it.

I’m not a social media enthusiast but recently became aware of a social group for our town on Facebook, and I thought it would be worthwhile to try a post there.  Within half an hour after posting « Matt I found your wedding ring » with some appropriate details I had a call from Matt, who correctly identified the ring!  I arranged to meet Matt and his family at the beach and the ring was soon back on his finger where it belonged.  Matt said that getting his ring back after so long ‘made the summer for him and his family’.  The feeling was truly mutual.  I’m really pleased, and frankly somewhat amazed, that this finally worked out to be a successful return!

Lost Wedding Band, Pensacola Beach – FOUND!!!

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

Brayden called me on Friday explaining that he was out in the Gulf throwing football at Pensacola Beach when his wedding band came flying off of his hand. I talked him through what happened and asked him my standard questions about the time of day so I could check the tides, etc. We decided that I would come out the next morning at 7am. I got there and Brayden’s family joined him and explained that the young couple had only been married for 6 months. I said we definitely needed to find it so they could start off with a great story. We made our way to the beach and I got my bearings as I headed out to just over waist deep water. I slowed down and made my first turn as I pushed a big jellyfish out of the way with my scoop handle. I barely went another foot or two and got a great tone. Rarely am I confident on the first tone and first scoop of the search but sure enough, I looked into the scoop and saw Brayden’s gold wedding band shining back in less than 3 minutes. They were thrilled when I walked back up. I think Brayden’s dad said it best when he exclaimed, “we didn’t think it was even possible to find the ring in all that water, much less so quickly.” 😃 Brayden, it was nice meeting you. You have a great family. Good luck and God bless you all.

Missing sprinkler solenoids

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by John and asked if I could find some missing sprinkler solenoids in the ground. I wasnt sure exactly what he was looking for but I told him I would try. At some point previously homeowner had sod put down and most of the access covers were covered. There was one solenoid cover exposed that I was able to pick up a metalic signal with my detector. When I detected a similar reading I put a screwdriver into the dirt to confirm the plastic cover. I found all five missing solenoid in about 1 hour.

Lost Wedding Ring in the sand, Seaside Park NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Got a call from Jennifer about her lost ring in the sand. She took it off and put it on her chair, then got sidetracked. They searched for hours with no luck, even using a metal detector. Then she contacted me. With just a few passes I got a nice tone, sure enough it was her ring. Platinum rings give off a very low signal, that’s why you need a professional to find them.

Gold Wedding Ring Lost in Calhoun, GA-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I received a text this past Monday 11th from a wife.  She said her husband had lost his wedding band in the backyard about a month ago while cleaning out a pool skimmer trap.  She was searching the internet and came across www.theringfinders.com where she found my contact information.  I made the trip to Calhoun that afternoon and met up with her.  She said her husband was still at work, but should be there pretty soon.  She said they had actually purchased a metal detector for themselves, but no luck in finding the ring.  When Alfred got home he was showing me how he lost his ring cleaning the skimmer with his left hand and throwing the trash over the chain link fence with an underhand motion.  He said he felt the ring leave his hand but didn’t see where it went.  With that underhand throwing motion I immediately figured the ring had gone over and into the brushy area behind the fence.  I eliminated the grass and the plant bed first of course, but no luck.  With the chain link fence there I couldn’t get close to it at all without sending my detector into an overload condition.  So that part would have to be searched by hand if I didn’t find the ring back in the brush.  I started back behind the fence, (poison ivy there too), as well as a snake, but didn’t get a good look at it, it was leaving the area.  I started from the right side and went left directly at the back of the fence.  The second pass was from the left back to the right, on a steep slope.  Of course I was finding bits of metal trash, we all do.  On the third pass from right to left I got to right where I figured the ring could have gone with that underhanded throw.  The first thing I found there was a rusted bottle cap, then about three feet away I got two signals on my CTX.  A strong 12:40 showing four inches, but literally inches away from that signal was another one, a strong 12:28 showing one inch.  I hadn’t seen it yet, but that 12:28 at one inch brought a grin to my face.  I stooped over and under my coil I saw a faint hint of something shining back at me.  I snapped a picture of it before I moved it, and you can barely catch a glimpse of something out of place under the layer of leaves.  The 12:40 signal turned out to be a toy car.  The search took about 1.5 hours.

Lost Metal Nails Found on Horse Arena in Ortonville Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

She Won’t Saddle for Less……

……when it involves her horse, Ebony. When Sarah and she were doing some practice routines, Ebony stepped on a nail that resulted in a horrible infection that slowed her activities down to near zero. During the healing process, Sarah got a metal detector and tried to locate more nails resulting in no success. I decided to approach this challenge 2 different ways. First, using my custom tube magnet, I adapted it to drag thru the loose sand in a grid pattern. This gave a high yield to all the loose nails. Second, I grid searched the arena with my MXT metal detector to capture any other stray nails. Both search methods proved successful. Ebony approved and Sarah is thrilled that she’s back in the saddle and riding high again!

Molly called me to report that she had lost 2 rings in the sand at the beach, and wanted to know if I was available to help her find them. I let her know that I was immediately available and would leave as soon as I could get my equipment together.

When I got there I thought I recognized her, and she let me know that I had found the engagement ring for her last year at another beach. I then remembered the search, and the ring. She and her husband Jay walked me over to the area where they believed the loss occurred, and I set up for a search. Just 3 swings of the coil and I scooped up the yellow gold ring. Now for the engagement ring. It was a fine band with a solitaire diamond. I went over the area but did not hear the ring. I went out of the box in searching, but still no ring. I knew the ring had to be there, so it was time to cross grid the area. I made pass after pass, and then a soft whisper of a signal entered my head phones. I scooped, and there it was, Molly’s diamond solitaire engagement ring. This type of ring sometimes does what is called parachuting, and this makes the ring harder to find. I believe this is what happened, and is why a cross grid search is so important if the item is not found the first time through. Because this was the second time she lost her ring Molly was a bit embarrassed to have her full picture taken, but did allow me to show her holding her rings. It feels good to be able to save the day for people.

Annette called me in the morning asking if I could help in finding a lost wedding ring. I was available and the fact that it was at the beach she identified I was concerned about a recovery because the loss happened the day before. I explained the possibilities to her of it being gone because of the County beach sifters and other detectorists, but let her know that we should go in the morning before the beach packs out. She agreed, and we decided to meet there as soon as possible.

I met Annette, and her husband Chris at the beach. Well wouldn’t you know, we got down there and the spot they said they believed the loss occurred was occupied by a big group of families with small children. We asked if they would mind if we worked around them, and they said it would be fine. It was rather difficult because of all the metal chairs, sport bottles, and metal toys scattered all around the area, but I gave it a good old effort with no luck. Chris and Annette had to leave, so I told them I would finish the area where the people were as much as was possible without asking them to move all of their stuff, as well as some of the other possible areas they pointed out. I let them know that if it wasn’t where I was able to look, I would come back later in the evening when everyone had left the beach. I did not find it, so I came back at 8:30 PM, and within 10 minutes had Chris’ ring in my scoop. We decided to meet at a park to make the return which I was able to do to 2 very happy people. Another great day!
