Success! A fisherman from Christchurch, Mr D Atherton lost his gold wedding band ring one evening whilst fishing in Christchurch near Bournemouth, Dorset. He had spent three one hour visits searching to no avail. As a last resort he checked the internet, found me on The Ring Finders and I came the next day.
I found the ring in no time and Mr Atherton made a very generous donation to the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance.

I was contacted by Chris a resident in Houston (North Houston) regarding his daughters lost Texas A&M College Ring (Aggies). Chris said he believes his grandson had picked up his daughters A&M ring and dropped it somewhere in his front yard. Chris said earlier in the day his grandson had grabbed the ring off of a counter in the house, and was seen playing with it, Chris said they took it away and placed in an area out of his reach. Well thats what they thought, they later discovered the ring was again missing. Chris said after throughly searching the house and not finding the ring, they knew the only other place it might be is in the front yard. Chris said his grandson had been in the front yard the day the ring went missing.

I made trip up to north Houston, and met with Chris who outlined the areas he believed the ring might have been lost. Chris’ house was a corner lot, and when I arrived, I was thinking this is going to be a long hot day.
I used a little marking paint on Chris’s lawn to establish a search grid pattern and was preparing for an extensive search of his front and side lawn. I opted to start the search near his front door and hit the first foot of grass and « Hello » Texas A&M.
Must be my fastest recovery to date, nice when it all comes togehter.

I recieved the following email from a Sugar Land resident regarding a lost ring.
Hi John, I just read the story about Richard Browne in Mass. who finds rings for people and he mentioned ringfinders.com.
I checked and to my surprise, I found you in Sugar Land, which is where I am.
My eldest son was in our pool 2 weeks ago splashing the dogs and he says his wedding ring flew off (he’s been married for two years). I have a very old metal detector, and I am a rank amateur, but we tried to find it with no luck. If it did fly off, then it’s in my back yard, but we just can’t find it. My wife and I go out in the yard looking for it almost every day but we’ve found nothing.
So I am reaching out to you, to see if you can help us. At the worst I’d like to be able to tell my son it’s not there.
thanks and regards,
Mark Locascio

I made the short trip to Marks this morning with the new CTX3030 in hand. Mark pointed out the areas where he felt the ring might have flown of his son’s hand. I was initial a little apprehensive when Mark brought out his nice looking White Coin Master Metal Detector and explained he had already tried finding the ring. He said he had put another gold ring in the yard and was able to find it with no trouble.
That was a little bit of a sinking feeling 😉
I worked the same areas as Mark had previously described with his detector, and was not able to find the ring. I took a few minutes to think about the event that led up to the loss of the ring. I decided to work some a couple of flower beds well outside of the area identifed.
I opted for the hand and knees approach with my pin pointer on a flower bed that was riddled with metal distractions. The ring jump right out on my second sweep of the pinpointer.
Mark and his wife said they had given up all hopes that the ring would ever be found.
Hello , I recieved a call from a gentleman by the name of ( Mr. David P. ). who explained that he lost a 18K gold & platinum ring while working in his yard a week earlier.. After speakin with him I agreed to come out and help him locate his lost ring. I arrived on the morning of 6/13/2013. When I got there we spoke alittle more about it and Mr. David P. , walked me through everything he had done from the time he first started and the time he noticed his ring was missing. he showed me all the areas he thought in might be lost in as well. I searched for about 4-5 hours very long hours and then i finally found it. As you can see from the smile on his face he was very happy to have his ring back and it was a pleasure to help him find it.. 
Last night I received a call around 9:30 pm from a young lady who’s husband (Jose) had lost his gold wedding band at a Vancouver Park while playing soccer.Jose and 10 others searched for the ring of well over an hour in the dark with a flashlight but to no avail. His wife googled and found The Ring Finders online and we discussed the search and I met her husband at 7:30 am the next morning for him to show me the area.Fortunately he had a very good idea that the ring had come off in the goal area… if he was right that would cut my search time considerably and that being said it only took me 10 minutes!
Only married 3 years this young man’s ring will now continue to tell a story of love.
The smile tells the story! I truly love my job! I get to make people Smile! Lost something…Call ASAP! You can watch the video of the search on the link below…https://youtu.be/y7wxYIgQFcI

Lost Men’s Platinum Wedding Ring in Richmond, Texas.
The caller Mr. King reported he had lost his wedding ring in his backyard while battling a swarm of honey bees. Mr. King reported a swarm of honey bees had been trying to set-up their new home at his new home, and while trying to evict them things went bad. Apparently the bees were not planning on cooperating and became aggressive and assaulted Mr. King. In the battle for his turf, Mr King managed to lose his ring while in the midst of the fight. The suspects (bees) were later taken into custody by a pest control specialist without further incident. No other injuries were reported.
Mr. King reported his new homes backyard was not sodded and it was extremely muddy due to recent rains, he suggested wearing boots due to the yards current condition.
With a new Minelab CTX 3030 in hand, I wadded through Mr. King’s backyard and found his ring buried in about 1″ of mud. The new CTX 3030 is off to a good start.

A few service calls,
1. Lost men’s Platinum wedding band in Houston, believed to have possibly been lost at a soccer field/baseball field. Searched the area for several hours confirming for the owner this was not the location of his lost ring.
2. Lost Gold Tennis Bracelet with 52 (1/4) diamonds, in College Station. The caller report the bracelet had been lost in either a horse stall or horse arena. The caller later reported while waiting for my available response, he rented a metal detector and tried finding the bracelet himself. He said they were having a lot of difficulty figuring out the metal detector and placed a gold ring in the horse stall for testing purposes. They lost the ring, and started a search on their hands and knees to find the ring, while searching for the ring, they accidentally found the bracelet. The also later found the ring in the stall as well.
3. Lost Men’s Citadel Class Ring in Galveston, the caller reported he had accidental dropped his ring over the edge of a pier while assisting a friend with his boat. The caller reported he believed the water was approximately 15 feet deep and felt pretty sure of its location. As, I was preparing gear for a water recovery, the caller contacted me and reported he had found his ring on the deck of the boat under some debris.
4. Training in a local park, keeping the dust off both the equipment and operator. (see pictures) a couple of nice sterling silver pieces, clad coin (modern day), and several pieces of trash.
The streak continues! 100% success in recovery since I became a search member of The Ring Finders! This time the lost items were in Centreville, Va. About 90 minutes from my residence. I got a call from David this past Saturday. I could hear the concern and panic in his voice, but luckily he contacted me immediately and gave a very accurate account of what he was doing and where he suspected he lost the rings. Because of that, along with the help of my buddy Lance, we have yet another successful recovery to add to the list.. I’ll let David tell you how things went down in his own words.
I had just finished cutting the lawn at my home in Centreville, VA, trying to beat the rain showers that were slated to move into my Northern Virginia location later that evening, when I realized that my Grandfather’s diamond ring and my wedding band of 30 years were missing from the little finger of my right hand where I wore them both. (This because of late life weight gain!) I was certain that they must have come off while I was emptying the lawn mower cuttings into plastic bags. However, after a careful search of three bags of clippings, and repeated searches of my yard, I could not locate the rings. When I told a neighbor what had happened and that I was considering buying a metal detector he suggested I hire a “Ring Finder” to come a search my yard for the rings. I had never heard of such a thing, but a quick online search took me to the Ring Finders web site @ http://theringfinders.com/ The closest ring finder to my location was Jim Wagner of Pasadena, MD. I called his number and told him about my situation. He was very personable and wanted to help me, but he wasn’t sure if he could get to my until the following weekend, however he said he would check with a friend of his to see if he could help me sooner. The prospect of living with my loss for a week without doing anything was worrisome to me so I decided to purchase an inexpensive metal detector and give it a shot myself. Fortunately, Jim called me back the next day and said he could come and assist me that very afternoon. This was very encouraging to me as my attempts to use the metal detector I had purchased were not yielding the desired results. Jim and his partner Lance arrived at my location within a couple of hours of his call and began to search immediately. Jim had told me in our previous phone conversation, (and as you can see on his web page), that he has a 100% success rate. I found that statement to be very encouraging, however, I couldn’t help but thinking that I would be the one to break his streak! As they began to search my front yard, I went around back to put my dog in the house as she was barking hysterically. After putting my dog in the house, I was about to make a call to my wife and let her know that the Ring Finders were here and searching when there was a knock at my front door. When I opened it, there stood Jim and Lance, my rings in hand! It literally took them less than 5 minutes to find them! I can’t tell you how amazed and appreciative I was! These guys are good at what they do! So if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t despair, just call the Ring Finders! I give them my highest recommendation.
Thanks David for the endorsement! I’m glad the rings are back where they belong!
Lance with a very happy David!
So glad we were able to find these for David.
