Lost White Gold Engagement & Wedding Rings at Aulani Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This Ring Find began when I got a call from the Aulani concierge desk.  The hostess told me one of their guests lost her Engagement and Wedding Rings in the sand on the beach and if I was available for recovery.  She handed me off to Danielle who was on vacation from San Diego and told me she put her rings in the waistband of her shorts to attend to her baby and after walking down to the water’s edge she realized they had fallen out.  After an intense search the beach team told her we have a guy.  I was just finishing up work for the day and I told Danielle that I’d go home, grab my gear and head out to the resort to search.  I told her to stop searching and just relax until I got there.  When I arrived Daniele’s Mom Debbie met me at the beach equipment rental stand and then walked me down to the search area.   I decided to hunt the open area before we had to move any beach chairs.  After covering that area with no ring found, Debbie had already started moving the chairs for me.  On the first sweep and at the extreme end of the grid I got a loud #6 on the Nox and in one scoop there were Danielle’s beautiful rings.  The tourists around us started clapping and Danielle came down and said,  » That’s certainly my ring and you are the best! »  Then we hugged and rejoiced at the successful recovery.  Aloha to Danielle!

Ring found at Navarre Beach

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

Steve called me asking if I could find a ring. Steve’s wife lost her new anniversary ring while doing some yard work at their home in Navarre. Their backyard has a lush landscape with a thick carpet of grass where a ring could easily fall in and be hard to locate. In addition there property bordered a forested area with fairly thick understory vegetation. They didn’t know where the ring was lost, so Steve and I recreated their activity as best he could remember. First I carefully searched the grass areas with no luck. Next was going into the shrub plantings, also no luck. Then I expanded the search area assuming the backyard was the most likely place to look since that’s where she was working, no luck strike 3. In desperation I decided to look in the forested area bordering their backyard. I started a north/south grid about 5’ wide. There were no targets in the understory, clean ground with no metal in it. So when I got a signal it screamed, the sound was unmistakable, the sound of gold! Somehow the ring had left her finger and traveled about 15’ into the woods. I never met Steve’s wife because she was working that day but Steve called her and she was overjoyed. Ring recovered, everyone smiling, no more worries, made my day!

Lost – Vehicle Key FOB, Kill Devil Hills, OBX, NC – FOUND!!!

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

Angela was taking her first trip to OBX.  What a beautiful day; the sun was out, and the temperature was in the high sixties.

As she went up the very sandy beach access with her with her two dogs on leash, seeing the beach in the distance she was thrilled.  Suddenly an off-leash dog approached her dogs, in the scuffle to keep her dogs safe, she lost her balance and ended up in the sand.

Regaining her bearings, she walked down to the beach to enjoy the waves and sand.  As she left, she realized she no longer had her car’s key FOB.  She looked and looked…no luck.  She met a person who lives at a nearby condo who said, “Call OBX-Ed,” and gave her my number.

I received the call around 5pm.  Angela described her situation and I told her that I could be there in a few minutes.

When I arrived, Angela showed me the vehicle access she had walked up.  It had very deep, soft sand, with deep ruts.  I began the search.  Finding only a bottle cap on the vehicle approach we continued out to the area on the beach where the dogs had their kerfuffle.

Shortly after, the XP Deus 2 let out a scream.  I saw a plastic edge of what I suspected was the FOB!  I bent over and retrieved the valuable item and held it up saying, “Is this the lost FOB?”  Angela was thrilled!!!

Lost Mens 14K White Gold Wedding Band, FOUND!!! Danville, CA

Bay Area Ring Finders: Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

It was a Black Monday for the company and I was engulfed in an imaginative build-out of Duplo Legos with my boys.  The weather was worsening and it was only a matter of time before rain returned the the Bay Area.  I received a message from Leanne in Danville.  Her husbands wedding band had flown off of his hand in the side yard while preparing for the next round of storms to hit.  Help would be requested!

I enthusiastically called Leanne back and within 30 minutes, I was headed down the 680 towards the days search.  It was my hope to quickly get in and get out before the deluge began and I knew that with the information provided from the couple, this could be the case…they knew it was there and we just had to locate it.

Upon arrival, I met Michael in the drive.  He quickly filled me in of the events that had occurred the evening before and the search that ensued. After a lack of success, but not without effort, the couple sought out additional resources.  A family member sent them my information, hence my presence.

I started to grid the hillside where Michael believed the ring had flown off.  He helped by moving debris and pruning back dormant bushes to make way for the coil of my machine.  We found a lot on the surface, first a razor blade, a bottle cap, aluminum cans, a fastener, a AA battery, but not the 14K white gold band that we sought. About 30 minutes or so into the hunt, success!!!  We had made the recovery!!!

The couple was surprised and excited to have this sentimental ring back and there were smiles all around. The clouds opened up and the rain fell from the sky, I like to think they were tears of joy for my first ring recovery of 2023!  Happy New Years!!!

THE RINGFINDERS IN SAN DIEGO HELPED RETRIEVE A LOST GOLD COIN BURIED IN THICK GRASS BY USING A METAL DETECTOR!  CALL  CURTIS COX. @ 760 889 2751 for a speedy recovery

 

No click bait story here!  I would never think about metal detecting for lost treasures on a restaurant’s front lawn until the day I received a call from Elizabeth. She tells me right off the bat frantically that her daughter got into a physical altercation with another high school student where this family heirloom gold coin in a bezel broke off from the necklace & disappeared into the thick grass lawn at a Carl’ jr.

When we met there I was concerned of getting trespassed on private property even though it’s along a public sidewalk,,I had to let Elizabeth know that we might not have much time before getting asked to leave. So we went over the story,Area & size of the gold coin so I knew what V.D.I #’s to discriminate with my metal detector. In less than one minute of fast scanning I received a signal that I was looking for and used just my fingers to comb through the grass with when out popped this Yellow beauty!  I could tell this was very sentimental & meant a lot to have it back in their family for generations to come.

Lost engagement ring found in Hillsborough NC

  • from Hillsborough (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Got a call today in Hillsborough NC for a lost white gold engagement ring.

What a great way to start out the new year helping someone recover a lost ring.

  1. I received the call today and spoke with the gentleman about his wife’s ring she had lost at a local park today. He explained that she had taken the rings off and put them on a carabiner which she then attached to the strap on her back pack. When they were done they picked up their stuff and back pack and went to the car. When she got home she noticed the wedding band was still there but not her engagement ring. They went back to the park and looked then called me for help. I agreed to meet within the hour and started my search. After about an hour the ring was found and he was very happy to have the ring back. It always great to help people out and was a great way to start out the new year.

Lost – Lady’s Gold Wedding Band, Outer Banks (OBX), NC – FOUND!!

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

I was working on my truck and my wife was making pumpkin pies from scratch.  The last thing I expected was a lost ring call…but that’s exactly what happened.

I got the call shortly before noon.   A lady on the other end let me know that she had lost her gold wedding ring on a vacant lot about a one-hour drive away.  The lady lives near me in the Outer Banks so we decided to drive down to the site together.

As we drove, the conversation centered around the importance of the ring and how she lost it.  Her husband had passed away only a few days earlier.   They had been married 51 years.  She had been looking at a boat motor that he had owned.

While walking on the lot she got burrs on her sleeves.  She never felt the ring fall off but later that day she found it missing.  A friend offered to help her find it with a metal detector.  They searched for over an hour with no luck.

On the way to the ring site, we stopped  for a quick lunch.  She asked me if I could bless the food.  I asked God to bless our food and help us find the ring.  I had no idea how easy He would make it.

When we arrived, I did not pull in the one space drive but rather parked on the precariously sloped side of the road. I wanted to concentrate where they were parked previously.

As I got my Deus II out, the lady went over to the area she thought she may have lost it.  The sun came out shining brightly on the ring lying at her feet.  She screamed, “I found it!”  She was thrilled.

The ride back was filled with tears of gratitude and memories of her husband.  Mission accomplished!

14K Wedding Ring Found in Lake Anna – Bumpass Virginia

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Call Ray at MyGoldFinder for lost items 571.258.7217 www.mygoldfinder.com

Received a call from my fellow theRingFinder partner, Rob Ellis, about a ring lost in the water at Lake Anna in Virginia. Rob and I will partner up on dives at times to ensure we have a dive buddy, and just because it’s fun to hang out together.

Rob gave me some of the details… Colin, the customer was staying at rental home along Lake Anna with some of his buddies. At one point Colin was in the water in a Kayak and his friends were tossing a football out to him around 30-40 yards from shore maybe. One attempt to catch the ball was unfortunate as this is when his wedding ring came off his finger and he watched it quickly sink out of site. Colin gave Rob and I relatively good area of where the Kayak was as he’d had a photo taken, this was very fortunate and good thinking.

Rob and I suited up, we’d both brought our dive flags to ensure (hopefully) safety from boaters, anchor lanyards to keep from drifting, lights, detectors, etc…and we’re ready to go. Brought the Excalibur II and Equinox 800, went with the Nox on this trip. Colin was our surface safety watcher.

Visibility was poor at best, typical of Lake Anna, maybe 6-8 inches with massive particulates. At the bottom though visibility was near zero! Rob started to conduct a search grid to the left and I started in the opposite direction on the right. After surfacing once or twice Colin directed me a little more to the right of the current location I was searching, I dove back down. With visibility at zero all finds with the Equinox 800 had to be hand fed/felt then brought directly up to my mask in an attempt to see it…and THEN…BANG..a nice sound..but it was hard to read the screen on the Nox so I grabbed where the hit had come from and came up with something that felt round in my hand. I still wasn’t sure…maybe it was another fishing weight…got it closer and there it was packed in with Lake Anna mud. I rolled my finger over the ’roundness’ of the ring under water to make sure it was what I thought it was….
Colin was ecstatic his ring could have even been found in this massive lake, he could not have been happier to have it returned.

 

Thank you Rob for allowing me to join you on this hunt! Always fun hanging out with you! You usually make the finds, but this one was mine LOL!!

 

God Bless and Happy Hunting

Wedding Ring Found on Sheep Farm in Roundhill Virginia

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Call Ray at MyGoldFinder for lost items 571.258.7217 www.mygoldfinder.com

I received a call from Daniel about his wedding ring he’d lost on his sheep farm in Roundhill, Virginia. Daniel had shot a deer on his property and was processing the deer in the field. It was starting to get a little late and Daniel was trying to get done so he could get back into the house before dark. As he was cleaning out the deer he shook blood from his hands and realized his ring flew off at the same time! He did a little searching but couldn’t locate the ring, thus the call to me the next day.

My recovery quests have taken me from land to water, from cattle farms and to horse ranches… a sheep farm was a first for me. Upon arrival at Daniel’s property I was immediately greeted by his 3 dogs. Daniel gave me the layout of the property and some more details on where he thought the ring may have been lost. As we were heading towards the location he realized one of his dogs was missing, the smallest guy. The dog had decided to jump into my truck and make himself at home on the backseat floor..sorry buddy can’t take you home. You are cute though!

The farm location had a nice scenic view of the mountains going towards the Winchester side of Virginia. He had around 30 Scottish blackface sheep. They seemed harmless enough except for one that kept a keen eye on me the whole time and anytime I got closer to the herd, he came closer to me….I got the message!

The area was about a 1/2 an acre, not too large, but Daniel was worried one of the sheep may have eaten it while grazing…let’s hope not. I started a general search around the blood pile area and then started to widen my search pattern. After a few disappointing pattern sweeps and 45 minutes later I decided to search in the opposite direction… then shortly afterwards was rewarded with a nice big bang on the detector. Ring in hand, I sent Daniel a text with the photo of the ring. His response was priceless… »Ho. Lee. Shit. » Not sure of the context style, maybe because he’s Australian, didn’t know, but he was thrilled the ring was found and back on his finger.

Daniel, thank you for contacting me and having confidence I’d find your ring.

God Bless and Keep on Hunting!
