Lost Ring In Prairieville, LA – Found

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Rosetto called me on Tuesday. She had lost her husband’s diamond and tungsten carbide wedding band the day before. They had searched the yard without success. I questioned her on the loss. “Where do you think the ring is?” “It’s either in our yard, the neighbor’s yard or in the tree.” “The tree??” “I was really mad at him”.  Being 2 hours away, I told her I’d look at my work schedule and the weather and get back to her. I found an opening on Friday with neither rain nor work. Carrie and I arrived at Rosetto’s house and had her throw flagged test washers. All three washers hit the tree branches and fell within a foot of each other. Within 10 minutes of searching, Carrie had a good signal (80 on the AT PRO) and found the ring close to where the washers dropped.  Another very happy client. We accepted a generous reward after telling her, “We are  lucky you throw like a girl.“

Lost Keys Found in the Snow in Farmington Hills Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

The « Key » to savings is…………Finding the Key!

This pretty, young lady placed a call with me frantically wondering if a metal detector would help find a lost key in the snow.
So I said uh yes, sure it would!
I arranged a meeting on site to check out what the story was centered around and found out she was walking the dog out back of the condo and somewhere her vehicle key came out of pocket while wrestling with the rambunctious dog.
I set up the MXT and put it in no disc coin mode and was wondering how it would do in this cold weather in SE Michigan.
I had just put in fresh batteries since my last set was reading 9 and I didn’t like that knowing the machine was going to be working harder in the cold.
I search for about half hour along the trails her and the dog made in the 5 inch deep snow but came up with nothing.
I noticed she drove a ford suv and I had my Ford work 4×4 truck key on me and it came to me to take a read on that since it was basically the same key and to see what the MXT had to show.
So in one sweep direction it came up as ferrous but a 90 deg. sweep came up non ferrous. Ok so now I had better idea of what to look for based on the numbers displayed on the meter.
So I made some more sweeps starting from the patio and bam! there it was in an area I hadn’t gone over!
Her smile really tells the story tho and finding the key saved her around $200
The MXT proved to be a real trooper in this cold weather and I won’t hesitate to take it out on another adventure!

Ring found in Evanston 12/17/2016

Received an email at 1:34 AM from  young lady who lost a silver thumb ring in the snow. She has had the ring for about 12 years, and had just had the ring resized. The ring had sentimental value and she wants to pass it on to family members in the future. We had just had a dusting of new snow over the existing snow and she had hunted during the evening, but to no avail. I spoke to her in the early morning hours, and drove to her location. Using  my Minelab CTX 3030, I was able to locate in in less than 3 minutes. Needless to say she was delighted. She located the Ringfinders website through Reddit.

Lost Gold Wedding Band at Kaimana Beach, Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)



This ring find was from a craigslist alert I got last night at 8PM. The ad said lost my white gold wedding ring at Kaimana Beach this afternoon ten feet into the water. The ad was placed 8 minutes before my alert so I called the number and got Jamie from Ohio who was attending Law School on Island. Jamie told me while playing catch with a football he fell into the shallow water catching the football but losing his white gold wedding ring in the process. Several of his fellow classmates looked but the sand swallowed his ring completely and they couldn’t find it. I told Jamie to take his craigslist ad down immediately so no other detectorists go to the beach and hunt. Jamie described where in the water I should look and I told him I would check the tides to see if it could wait until the morning. When I looked the tide was on an extreme low and living ten minutes away I grabbed my gear and head lamp and cruised down to the beach. My daughter Korin was with me so I gave her my phone, put her in the life guard shack and with a flashlight told her to play Pokemon Go while I did my hunt. I walked down from the shower area as Jamie had described and walked into the shallow water. Not 15 seconds had gone by when I heard an excellent tone and two scoops down bingo there was Jamie’s ring. I immediately called Jamie but his phone went to voicemail. I left a message saying I found the ring and we could meet the next day for return. When Jamie called the next morning he was so excited that I got him out of the dog house and being a submarine veteran he was able to meet me on base to retrieve his ring. He had never been on Pearl Harbor so after getting his ring he went on a tour of the submarine base. I’m sure that brought back some great memories of his time in the fleet. Aloha to Jamie.

Lost Gold Wedding Band at White Plains Beach Oahu…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)



This ring find began on Wednesday 12/14 when I got a call from Lifeguard Kelvin at Barber’s Point White Plains Beach. He told me to call Alex from Ewa Beach Hawaii who lost his ring in the water. I called Alex and found out he had spent the day at the beach with his family and as he was getting ready to go home and getting out of the water he reached to feel his ring and it slid off into the water. He was in waist deep water and when he tried to take a look underwater a swell came through and tossed him just enough to lose his footing where he had lost the ring. He quickly went ashore to get some goggles in hopes of finding his Gold Wedding band. That was not to be as the surf buried it out of sight. He told Kelvin the Lifeguard who told him he would get in touch with the ring finder « Joe ». Alex questioned, « Is there really such a person? » Kelvin assured him there was and called me to contact Alex for hunting data. Alex described the area and the next day I took off early from work and headed out to the west side. After arriving at the beach and using the google map Alex & I created I started my search. This was the calmest I’d seen the beach and the lifeguard on duty said he agreed. After a few coins and a 50 caliber round I got a nice low tone and two scoops down pulled up a rather large men’s gold band. As Alex told me only 14K was inscribed inside. This must be it. Since only 5 minutes had gone by I decided to continue my hunt. The next leg I found a small women’s 10K Diamond Engagement ring. The thing is very green so I’m having it cleaned and will post on my FB page. It must have been there a long time. I met up with Alex at Kaiser Permanente where he is a nurse and sure enough it was his ring. Perfect fit! Alex thanked me for being his angel and we wished each other a Merry Christmas. Aloha to Alex.

Lost White Gold Diamond Woman’s Ring Set in Westerville, OH. “FOUND” with Testimonial

  • from Newark (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

I received a call about a white gold diamond wedding ring set lost while cleaning off her car from snow and ice. She remembers seeing the rings as she starting scraping the ice off and by the time she completed the whole car and got inside, the rings were missing. She searched and searched with no luck in the snow cover ground.

I got there in the evening with single digit temperatures, a flashlight and my metal detector to start searching. I searched around the car and yard with no luck. Finally, I searched behind the car bewteen the sidewalk and the road where there was undistrub snow. I found one ring and the second about a foot apart from each other. I went to the front door of the house and ask if these are her rings and she started to cry in joy that her rings have been found.

See her testimonial below.

Dear Jon,
We couldn’t thank you enough for not only coming on the same day we called you, but at night and in the bitter cold no less!
I lost not only my engagement ring but my wedding band that was only 7 months old.
I was in a frantic hurry on a frigid cold Wednesday morning. I rushed to get my kids in the car and get the ice scraped off. When I got in my car, I realized my rings were gone!
I had 2 very generous people come help me search my yard and after no luck and a full days worth of tears, I had almost given up all hope!
That is when I stumbled upon theringfinders.com and found Jon B!
I poured through 2 pages of blogged testimonies and decided to call!
I’m so glad I did! Thank you so much Jon from the bottom of my almost broken heart! The 2 hugs that I gave you weren’t nearly enough!
Sincerely,
Andrew & Anell Pike of Westerville, Ohio

Lost Ring Found in Spokane Valley Wa

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

All Ring Finders Stories that end with a picture of the owner holding their ring is a happy ending. However for Ross the happy ending he was having in his picture was caused by his own ring find recovery. This ring search took all of 20 minutes because after I struck out looking around the car where Ross was sweeping snow off windows , I asked Ross to move the vehicle.  As he moved the car I kept on searching around the snow covered car lot. Ross was walking back toward me telling me about what happened to the ring  and then stopped and looked down. In a very small clump of snow and ice he saw the golden and silver rim of his lost ring. My hats off to you Ross, and I am truly glad you have your ring back.

2 CELL PHONES RETURNED IN 1 DAY

When the snow is on the ground is the time people lose items. Dawn called me to say she had lost her cell phone in her yard and could not find it with a rented metal detector. I told her I would rent her a detector that I guaranteed would do the job, the cell phone was found quickly with my easy to operate detector. The second call came from Wayne who lost his cell phone while walking the dogs in his Orchard. I arrived and surveyed the area, I asked him where he suspected his loss occurred. he showed me where he walked the dogs and suspected it was along the fenceline. After half an hour of searching with many junk targets and irrigation pipes interfering, I scraped the snow and there was his cell phone. The cell phone was his business phone and he had 14 clients emails waiting for him so he was very happy to have it found quickly.
