Mercedes Electronic Key Lost at Manhattan Beach, CA…Found.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I received a call from a young man Wednesday evening, explaining how he had lost the electronic key to his Mercedes, and asked if I would be able to help. It had happened just a couple of hours before, so I knew the likelihood of a recovery was good. We arranged to meet within a half hour, and I was on my way.

When I got there he explained that he had left the key on his towel when he went into the water, and when he picked up the towel, the key vanished. He and his friends had searched the area quite thoroughly before I got there, as I could tell by the grid lines in the sand where he took me to. I began my search, and came up with numerous bottle caps and other metal debris, but no key. It was then when I got out of the search area, that I got a good hit in my head phones, and dug. There in my scoop was the key, which when seen, caused the young man to run over an greet me with shouts of joy and hugs. It must have been a sight to see. He did not want his picture taken, but his friend volunteered for a picture. A fun day indeed.

Man’s Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned Pawley’s Island SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

Mark sent me an e-mail saying he was in Pawley’s Island SC vacationing with his family from PA and asked if I could help find his wedding band. I responded saying I’d be glad to help and I’d be there the next day at 2pm.

When I arrived Mark showed me the small area he believed his ring was lost the night before while sitting on the beach enjoying the evening. He stated he had taken his ring off and put it in the cup holder to his beach chair.  A couple  of hours later after returning to their beach house he realized he didn’t have his ring and had forgotten it in the chair. I started a grid search and was having problems with my PI giving off a loud constant steady tone instead of the whisper tone I was expecting. Luckily I had brought another machine and after about 30 minutes and expanding my grid search out I hit a good signal and BINGO. I kept the ring in the scoop as I extended it out to Mark to retrieve. He was extremely excited to have his ring back on his finger.

Mark and Pauline thank you so much for trusting in me to help find your treasure. Hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a safe trip home.

Lost pendant and cross recovered

After losing a pendant my father gave me thirty five years ago and a tiny cross in an English field of long grass whilst hiking, I never thought I’d see them again.   Then we found theringfinders.com and got in touch with Constantine.  Constantine was fantastic – he changed his plans for last Sunday to come out to a field in the middle of nowhere to look for my jewellery and found these tiny objects in really really long grass!!
Throughout it all, Constantine was also really great to chat with, really supportive and extremely helpful, even picking me up from our B&B.  Really appreciated his help and would recommend him to anyone – thank you so much for all your help, Constantine!!

Lost Gold Ring Found in Washington Township Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Happy Belated Mother’s Day!

This nice lady gave me a call asking for help in finding a lost ring that was lost last weekend at an outdoor event at an open field behind her neighbor’s condo across the street. The ring was given to her from her mother and family for mothers day. She tried raking the area but was unable to pull it up. In listening to the circumstances she wasn’t sure where it may be since she was shopping and put the ring on her pinky and realized it must have slipped off during the day’s travels…as this was not the usual finger it was worn on. Waiting for the rain to pass, we checked her vehicle and talked more about where she last remembered having it on her pinky. Nothing showed up in the vehicle and the rain lightened up enough to search the field area.

I got a feeling to search from where her husband dropped her off at the curb, where she was carrying chairs to the event tents. Setting up my MXT I started to grid and got that sweet signal of gold! Coming in as +10 on the meter this beautiful ring was hiding right under the grass which was scheduled to be cut today and if it had surely would have been hit by the blade.

As I held it up you could see the happiness on her face, the smiles, and exclamations of excitement upon finding this gorgeous sentimental ring!

Thank you for reading,

Stunning platinum & diamond ring recovered with help of Cyril, The Treasure Hunting Dog!

Platinum & Diamond Ring Recovered!

Beautiful Engagement Ring Found!

Today I received an urgent request from Melody, who lost her engagement ring over the weekend. Luckily I was able to rush out to look as soon as we spoke. Me and the dog hit the road!

Me and the treasure dog, Cyril, teamed up to search. He seemed more interested in eating grass and rolling around in smelly stuff than looking for diamonds, but I still consider him my lucky charm. After a short hunt… SUCCESS!!!

Melody did the right thing by reaching out for my help promptly, after searching… with no success, for her beautiful platinum and diamond ring. She provided me with the details that my detector and I needed to quickly find her ring in a highly trafficked area, where it could have been « lost » forever if someone found it before us. Time is of the essence when it comes to recovering lost jewelry!

Not every search is a success, so it was great confidence booster to happily reunite Melody with this important, beautiful ring! And Cyril couldn’t care less!

Platinum Stunner!

Stunner!

Breaktime!

Hunting ain’t easy!

WOW!

Gold Wedding Ring Lost in San Fernando Valley, CA Backyard…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I received a call from a young lady yesterday who explained that her husband lost his ring in the backyard. I had been waiting for a call back from someone, so I arranged to meet on the next day. The person did not call back, so I called them back and said that I could go immediately. They told me that it had been late at night, and the husband had been taking the ring off and putting it back on when he dropped it on the deck. When the ring hit the deck it was too dark to see, but they heard it roll to the edge, and then it was gone. They had searched that night, and then hours the next day to no avail.

When I got to their house, I was led to the backyard, and shown a nice new deck that had been built over a very steep hillside. I began my search at the top working around some metal that had been there. and then working down the hillside. I worked as much of the hill that I believed could have caught the ring on a downhill roll, but just came up with nothing but deck screws and nails, with the occasional beer can. I felt that I had completed a thorough search, but did not find the ring, so I went back to the deck, and sat in the area of the loss, contemplated and discussed the loss again with the husband and wife, that is when the wife said she thought it might be right where I began my search. I decided to remove the wires that were there, even though I did not know what they were attached to. As soon as I removed them the husband said that’s it, and I saw the slight glimmer of gold peeping out of the dirt from under where the wires had been. I removed the ring and carefully replaced the wires, with shouts of joy coming from them both. They asked that I did not identify them, but I will say they were very happy that the ring was found, and I will vouch for their smiles. It was explained to me that their rings had been sent to Brazil to be blessed by a priest before the wedding, and specially engraved, so how do you replace that? Another great day!

Lost wedding ring, Flagler Beach, Florida…..Found!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Tiger gave me a call after loosing his wedding ring in the sand at the beach. He could hardly believe that his ring just fell off of his finger so easy like! It all happened the day before as he and a friend were throwing the football just along the waters edge. As he went to catch the football, apparently the point of the ball hit him right on his ring finger and the impact knocked his ring right off into the sand. It all happened so fast that he did not see the exact direction his ring went flying, but he had the presence of mind to stop and take note of a few land marks. (That quick thinking would be a huge help to him in the end.) He searched the area as best as he could and even contemplated renting a metal detector but as he typed into Google…Flagler Beach metal detector rental…up came one of theringfinders stories about a recent successful lost ring search. So Tiger figured what better way to go, then to hire someone who has the equipment and experience to help him find his lost ring. Two hours later we met on the beach and Tiger showed me the small area where he was standing when he lost his wedding ring. I set out four corner flags and searched the small area anxiously awaiting that sweet, familiar signal. My first signal was a crusty penny and that got Tiger and his wife’s hearts racing! Nothing else showed up in the marked off area so I made a pass around the outside and there in the wet sand, with the water washing over my scoop, was Tiger’s lost ring. I quietly thanked God for helping me find their precious ring and could not help but smile to see the joy and happiness on their faces. Thanks Tiger for the generous reward and for giving me the opportunity to help you in your time of need. Lost your ring? Call, text or e-mail me ASAP!

Wedding Ring Lost at Santa Monica Beach, CA…Found and Returned

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I got a call today from Jeanette this afternoon regarding her husband John’s wedding ring. He had been applying sunscreen, and stood up, shook his hand, and felt his ring slip off of his finger. The sand was real dry and soft, which made the ring disappear before he could see it’s trajectory. They searched, but the sands had it in their grip, and were not letting go. I told her I would be there as soon as I could. We have had some pretty warm weather lately so I knew traffic and parking near the beach would be difficult.

When I got there I had to park 1/2 a mile away, so I broke out my Segway Mini Pro to get me to the location with little effort. When I met them they showed me what had happened, and I began my search. It took a couple of minutes before I received the right signal, put in my scoop, and missed it the first time. The second scoop went in, and there was John’s ring. It had flown behind him a few more feet than he had thought, which happens all the time. That is why we have to think and work out of the box, or draw outside of the lines so to speak. It was great to have been a help today.
