Corona Gold 2

As we move thru the coronavirus quarantine living this « new normal » many of us have had lots of time to maybe complete something that normally we wouldn’t have time to do. Startup is difficult no matter if we want to or not with all the turbulent and uncertainty of the times we live in.
Amongst the changes in the natural rhythm of our routines, things get lost, including jewelry. Yesterday, the pictured gentleman was doing yard cleanup during the nice weather in the Detroit area. Near dusk he lit a fire to burn some debris up. Afterwards, pulling up a comfy seat to enjoy the warmth he noticed his ring missing. He feared it came off in the firepit but after letting it cool and looking this morning it wasn’t there and didn’t know who to turn to for help. When I was on the way to him, we talked on the phone. I assured him that my good luck charm Nessie and I practiced safe swinging! On arrival, he showed me where he was travelling thru the yard and after ground balancing my MXT to cancel out the iron riddled Detroit soil I started to grid the area. Not one swing was without some sort of trash target but I knew from past hunts his ring should come it at around +50 on the MXT meter, plus a 0 depth. Sure enough, about halfway from the firepit and his debris pile I got a nice solid +52 and 0 depth on the meter! Probing quickly with the Garrett carrot revealed this shiny gold band under some sticks, leaves and grass. Pleased with the find and recovery brought peace of mind and will always bring closure and comfort in a world that sometimes does not.

Katie lost her engagement ring of 1 1/2 years yesterday at the beach where she had gone to beat the heat we are experiencing here in Southern California. While she was brushing the sand off, her ring unknowingly came off in the soft sand. After she realized what had happened and intensely searched for it, she found me on The Ring Finders site and called me this morning. We discussed what had happened, and it sounded like we should be able to find the ring. we arranged to meet at the beach when her time would allow.

When I arrived, because of the remote location surrounded by mountains, I was losing my phone signal, so finding her became an exercise, but we were finally able to connect. Katie then led me down to the area they had been the previous day. She had marked the spot with sticks ( a very smart move) in order to find it the next day. She explained where she had been, and I was off and searching. After a couple of passes with no signal I received a very low tone in the headphones, but kind of « sticky ». It was the only signal so I dug, and dumped the sand and rescanned the hole, I had gotten it out. I then scanned the dumped sand and the signal was strong, I scooped again and there in the scoop was her beautiful gold and diamond engagement ring. Oh was she happy! She then called her fiancé to let him know the ring had been found. She put the phone on speaker, and he expressed his gratitude as well. To see her joy was a refreshing sight in this time when many are fearful and despairing. What a really great day!

Cynthia, Eric’s wife called me today about the loss of Eric’s cell phone and two sets of keys including his car key. He had gone surfing, and to hide his valuables, he buried them in the sand. When it was time to go though, he was unable to find them. I was available, and let them know I would get there as soon as traffic allowed.

When I arrived, we found each other at the populated beach. I could see where Eric had been looking. He had cleared an area about 12 ft by 12 ft, and about 6 to 8 inches deep. I could tell he had been working very hard to find his keys and cell phone, at least a couple of hours of digging on a very hot day, but was not able to find the belongings. I began my search going over all that he had uncovered, and his stuff was not there. As soon as I started searching out of the area, I got a solid signal, and dug with my hands in order to not damage the cell phone, and had the items in my hand in seconds. needless to say, Eric and Cynthia were very surprised and very happy to have their keys and phone back. I was so happy to have been able to help them. It was surely a great day!

Lost Platinum 3 Piece Bridal Set Ring in Aulani Lagoon Returned after nearly 3 Years.

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


This ring find began on 31 August 2018 for me when I was searching the Aulani Lagoon for a Gold Wedding Band. Smack in the Middle of the Lagoon in waist deep water I got a screaming target on my Excalibur and in one scoop I found a stunning Platinum 3 piece Bridal Set ring in my scoop. As with all other rings I find I posted it on my website « Metal Detecting Oahu » and it remained there until 8 April 2020 when I got a text from Guillermo from Whittier, California. In the text he told me his wife lost her ring on 07 June 2017 at the Aulani Lagoon and while in quarantine in California his wife Arlene stumbled across one of my old posts that had a picture of a very familiar ring. They had periodically checked with the Aulani Resort lost & found over the years but with no success. They were able to describe exactly the ring’s details and where it was lost. I only post high quality ring pictures with no details. They also sent me a wedding photo of the ring on Arlene’s finger. There was no doubt in my mind so I texted back, « So happy this ring found its true owner. Blessed. » I included a current shot of the stunning ring. They texted back « A thousand thank yous Sir and that they were crying & laughing » since I informed them with a follow up call. The story doesn’t end there. The Post Office recommended Registered Mail as the safest way to return the ring so I immediately mailed it Saturday morning. It tracked to Los Angeles quite quickly and we were hoping for a Wednesday delivery. Next thing I know the tracking notice says the ring is in New York City. What the heck? Thankfully, the next day it returned to California and it was on Arlene’s finger this evening. Nearly three years since it was lost. This is the longest ring find in my book. Blessings and Aloha to Arlene & Guillermo!

On April 19, 2020, I went to Johnston to search for Mike’s wedding ring, while maintaining social distancing and wearing a mask.  A friend, who I had recovered a ring for previously, referred Mike to me.  He lost the ring in his back yard while doing yard work.  He was upset that he had lost such a sentimental item.  After searching for 4 hours, Mike was ready to throw in the towel.  At that same time, I located the ring.  Mike and his family were thrilled!

**** Aly and Matthew were on the beach near the pier in San Clemente, CA. to watch the sunset. Aly lost Tifanny interlocking circle ring while waving her hands to chase seagulls that attack their snacks. They spent quite awhile searching the dry sand and it was beginning to get dark.

Mat found my contact information while searching the internet for help. I met the couple on the beach with my metal detector and a very high powered search light. We had two positives going for us. Aly had felt the rings come off her finger and marked the location with a stick. Secondly they were able to stay at the location of the loss till I arrived.

There was a 10 ft. slope on the dry sand where they had placed the marker. Even though I don’t depend on VDI numbers, I knew any high number or high tone could be Aly’s silver Tiffany double rings. Within the first couple minutes I got a high tone which I mistakenly told them, here’s your ring. Wrong! It was only a dime. Then, closer to the marker I got a another high tone which just turned out to be a quarter.

The search area had been grid searched in one direction, so I started a cross grid in the other direction, expanding it another 20 feet. I wasn’t quite sure of the size of the ring. A small silver ring on edge could have been missed, but in this situation that wasn’t the case. I found the ring 15 feet further away from where she was standing when the ring set came off her finger. It must have come off at the end of her arm movement.

Aly was very happy to have this special ring back, as it was a gift from her grandmother several years ago. Mat was also the hero for finding a RingFinder using his smartphone.

Lost wedding ring recovered on the first swing, Vienna, Virginia.

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

March 24th, 2020. Matt called me about a lost wedding band. He had made healthy life style changes and lost over 50 pounds since last summer. Matt didn’t remember the ring falling off, but reasoned the most likely place in his backyard while he was mulching. The 30 minute drive was surreal with so few cars on the road. It would normally have taken me up to an hour on a normal day.
Matt showed me a 10 x 20 foot area of the yard wet with leaf mulch and mud.

I changed into my boots and geared up with my AT Max, ready to get dirty. In a well-defined search area, I like to start from one side and work my way across. I turned on and calibrated my AT Max and started to sweep the left edge. My first sweep resulted in a clear signal in the gold range! I dug into the muck about 5 inches, and there it was.

Although I did very little work, Matt insisted I accept his generous reward, a portion of which went to Fisher House. He was extremely happy, but preferred not to have his “smile” taken for the Book of Smiles.

Gold wedding band recovered, Denver

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Stephen was doing some yard work and putting much in his planters around his house. During the preparations for this project he went to his local Home Depot to purchase several bags of wood mulch which he loaded into the back of his SUV. Upon arriving home he unloaded the vehicle and proceeded to spread and rake the mulch around the planters. When done he went inside clean up he noticed that his wedding band was missing. Considering that there were four mulch beds with many square feet of mulch spread he knew that his chances finding his ring were next to nill.

Stephen started to search the web when he came upon my profile on The Ring Finders and he called me. We made plans for me to come to his house a little later that day to preform the search. Upon my arrival Stephen showed me around and described his pattern of work and how he spread the mulch by hand. I put my detector together and began my search I searched the whole mulch areas and found nothing. I then grabbed another detector and searched again with the same results as the previous search. There was metal yard edging around the mulch areas that would not allow for me to get closer than 3″ – 4″ from it so our next step was to remove that yard edging (which of course meant that it would need to be re-installed). But before we removed the yard edging I asked to search his car. He stated that he had already searched the car a couple of times. Within a couple of minutes of me starting my search of his car I found his ring. He was very surprised that his ring was in the car.

Lost Gold Ring Found In The Snow In Oak Park Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Corona Gold

During these turbulent and unsettling times, all of us are challenged with the task of getting what we need to survive while staying safe.
Amongst the changes in the natural rhythm of our routines, things get lost, including jewelry. Today, the pictured gentleman and his wife were simply bringing groceries from the garage to the house during a brief snowfall in the Detroit area this afternoon. When they got settled in the house he noticed his ring missing. He feared it came off at the store and didn’t know who to turn to for help. When I was on the way to him, we talked on the phone. I assured him I practiced safe swinging!
I suggested we check the area he crossed over from garage to house. It was a small area. Searching in a grid pattern my MXT started to chatter back junk metal signals. About 6 feet from where he was walking the MXT sang out with that all familiar sweet, mellow sound of gold. I reached down into the layer of snow and pulled up this lovely, cold, corona gold colored ring! I said to him even the ring is practicing social distancing!, and in my opinion, this virus has done what no other woman has been able to do, which is to be able to close all the bars, take away the sports and keep her man at home all the time! We laughed and following suit we celebrated with a refreshing, cold Corona gold colored beverage!
Be Safe Out There Everyone!

Jon
