Custom Gold Wedding Band Lost In Lac Ste Anne Lake, Gunn Alberta,

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Megan called me yesterday afternoon requesting my service to locate her husband’s custom gold wedding band lost in the lake.  After asking Megan my usual questions I agreed to drive out.

I meet Megan at her cabin and we drove down to the boat launch.  Megan showed me the area off the dock where the ring could possibly be as her husband, Stephen, had been kayaking and when he returned he capsized the kayak in approximately 3 feet of water.  Stephen discovered his wedding band had fallen off his finger into the lake.

Megan and Stephen seached the lake bottom for two hours with no luck! I searched along the dock where they said the ring could be and all I was finding was trash. I could see on Megans face when I scooped the junk up how disappointed she was.  She was slowly loosing hope that the ring would not be found.

Megan had taken photos of Stephen in the kayak, he had the ring on and he was close to the dock where he had tipped the kayak.  After studying the photo I was convinced the ring had fallen off around fifteen feet away from the dock and not close to the dock.

I expanded my search outwards and recived the sound I had been looking for!  When I reached down with my pin-pointer, it was Stephen’s ring! Megan was over the moom that I had found his ring and that it was back on his finger.

Thank you Megan and Stephan, for entrusting me to find your ring.

… Taylor called asking for help to find 4 rings that were lost in the sand at Laguna Beach, CA.  She had put them on the edge of her beach towel and forgot they were there when she picked up the towel.

Shortly after shaking the sand off the towel, she realized the silver rings had disappeared in the dry sand. After a couple hours of hand searching the sand and waiting to see if a metal detectorist may be on the beach, she had to leave.

It was already 9:30pm when we talked. Taylor was 50 miles away which made it difficult to meet me at the location. The directions she gave me were good enough for me to make a 6 mile drive to search for the rings that night.

Shortly after arriving I had three of the rings recovered. I did call Taylor to verify that there were 4 missing rings. She said there were 4 rings. Also she told me the three I found were the most important and she was happy that I called her.

After more than an hour in the small search area, I could not find the 4th ring. Frustrating, because it should have been there. Sometimes it’s difficult to end a search. It would be nice to know where that 4th ring was, but that’s not going to be possible this time.

It was my pleasure to get Taylor’s most important rings back to her..

Lost Platinum Ring Found in Dearborn Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

The Mystery of the Mobius Loop Solved!

The Mobius loop or strip as it’s called has many different properties and applications, from mathematics, machinery and recently the shape has been incorporated into jewelry to symbolize infinite and eternal love. The concept of the design is that if you were to travel once around the loop, you’d return to the starting point as a mirror image, making it nearly impossible to define if you were going clockwise or counterclockwise. Little did I know that this was the design of Usher’s ring that went missing while doing yardwork. As I started to search, I definitely felt that I was going in circles, inside some kind of forcefield.  For such a small search area, junk metal signals made my deeper seeking metal detector sound like a machine gun. So, I dialed up the detector’s discrimination a bit and that helped. Scanning the coil of that metal detector thru hedges and picker bushes revealed nothing. So, taking a step back away from this strange vortex I decided to metal detect from farther out and close in on the area using my MXT metal detector with my bigfoot loop, which has supreme shielding capabilities. Closing in on available landscape, I kept getting a mixed signal on the meter, close to platinum but bouncing around. Reaching thru the thick grass was this aluminum piece of junk embedded in the ground. Removing it revealed Usher’s ring squished underneath! Apparently when the ring fell off, somehow Usher stepped on it as well as a piece of aluminum that littered the area of the cleanup. He was shocked in disbelief that his ring was there as he said he looked all over that area. It was then I saw the infinity loop design and with the ring back on his finger, the platinum loop is now back in place to symbolize and encourage Usher and his wife to strive each and every day to be eternally united in love and enjoy infinite happy times together into the future. Included is a schematic of my interpretation of the loop, with directional lines of energy, and as the saying goes……….opposites attract!

Sony called because she had lost her ring at the beach. It was late in the evening, and she said she would not be able to meet me, but her friend would. She told me where the loss occurred, and I made my way there.

When I got to the beach Sony’s friend met me to show me where to look. The area was small.  It took about 3 minutes to find her ring, and hand it to her friend. It was a short and sweet search, that ended well. I am happy to be able to help those in need.

Lost Gold, Diamonds & Sapphires Wedding Band at Royal Hawaiian Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a voicemail from Michael who was back home on the mainland wanting to know if I could detect his wife Erin’s Gold, Diamonds & Sapphires Wedding Ring in the dry sand at Royal Hawaiian Beach.  I was heading to lunch and he gave me Erin’s number to coordinate the search time.  We agreed I would be there around 2PM and Erin would meet me on the beach to show me the area.  My daughter Jodi hooked me up by dropping me off at the Royal Hawaiian Beach Access which brought me to the exact spot Erin was waiting.  Erin showed me where she was digging and it was about a 10 by 15 foot square.  I fired up the « Manticore » did a noise cancel then started the hunt.  First trip around the box no targets.  Second trip solid #3 on the Beast and in one scoop there was Erin’s gorgeous ring in the scoop.  Several tourists on the beach started clapping and congratulating us.  Erin was flying home in about 5 hours so that recovery was a major load off her mind.  Aloha to Erin & Michael!

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Wedding Ring at Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring hunt began when I got a text from Keli asking, « Can you possibly help us? My husband lost his wedding band? » I immediately called and told Keli who was on vacation from Bowie, Maryland, that I would grab my gear and head down as I’m only 10 minutes away from the Hilton Hawaiian Village.  Thankfully,  when I arrived there was a free parking stall.  Keli met me at the Shrimp truck and then took me to meet her husband Jason so he could narrow down the search area.  Jason assured me he was only waist deep when he caught the football which knocked his Platinum & Diamond wedding ring off and he watched it disappear into the murky lagoon.  The first grid we made only yielded some trash & coin targets.  Keli really thought they were more to the west so I extended that direction and no luck still.  Jason and Keli asked if I could do a few more grid lines to the west towards a gentleman on the beach.  I was on what was going to be the final leg when « BOOM » nice 37-54 target on the Manticore and in one scoop there was Jason’s awesome ring in the scoop.  Several cheers rang out on the beach as I reunited Jason with his ring.  We had a few laughs and hugs and it was obvioud there vacation was going to be just fine.  Aloha to Jason & Keli!

Michael called to see if I could help him find some buried stakes in his back yard. He had recently purchased his home, and was in the back yard with his girlfriend when she stepped on an old rusted stake that had been cut off just under the surface, rather than dug out, and it cut her foot up pretty bad. I let him know I could do the search, and we arranged a day for it.

I got to Michael’s house, and he lead me to where the first stake was found. It was partially dug up, and I reached to feel it, realizing it was as sharp as a razor. It was an old rusted fence stake that must have been hammered at least three feet into the ground. I realized that instead of digging them out the previous owner figured it would be much easier to just grind them off. Michael did not know if there were any more, but desperately wanted to know for the safety of anyone coming into his yard. After the search was complete, I had found 6 more dangerously sharp stakes to be removed. Needless to say, Michael was very relieved to know he could free his yard of these harmful objects.

… Victoria lost a very sentimental gold ring in the sand at the original muscle beach workout area, which is located just south of the Santa Monica Pier.

Her friend had been holding the gold ring while Victoria was working out on the bars. After handing the ring back to Victoria, she slipped the ring onto one of her smaller fingers.

A half hour later as the two of them went to get on their bikes. She realized her most important ring was missing. It a gold ring that was her father’s. He  had given Victoria before he passed several years ago.

Even though it was lost the day before in a heavily detected area of the beach, I told her I would give it a try. The least I could do is thoroughly search the area to tell her it is not there.

I was able to eliminate all the areas under the bars, rings, swings and rope climb. I saved the 60-75ft path from the swings to the bicycle parking space. Boom ! .. The very special sentimental gold ring that was the only physical item that Victoria had to remember her father.

Buried Sewer Clean-out’s…Located By Metal Detector!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)

As a member of THE RING FINDERS community, I often get calls for missing items such as; men’s and woman’s rings, earrings, cell phones, and keys.  I even have gotten a number of requests for missing or locating property pins.  I also get to meet a great deal of interesting personalities while on these requests for assistance.  Ken’s story is a little bit different and takes place on a large plot of land.  A few years earlier, he had trenched and ran new sewer lines with a clean-out every 100 feet.  Before burying these lines he capped the clean-outs with a big brass fitting.  The thought was that these large brass caps would be simple to locate with a metal detector should the need arise.

Fast forward to May of this year, Ken purchased a metal detector and fabricated a probe to rediscover his clean-outs.  After several attempts at locating them and hundreds of probes pushed into the ground, I received a request for assistance.

Our First attempts found highly mineralized ground and a lot of debris around our target area.  Usually, I would move to a smaller coil, ground balance, and turn up the target separation on my equinox, however in this application we needed depth to locate what was thought to have been 16″ to 18″ down.  We searched for 2 hours in the hot days sun before concluding our search.  Ken and I had a lot of great conversation but both were disappointed in the result.  I left questioning if I had the depth required to even see our target.

I stewed about the issues we had faced for a couple of days and decided I needed another shot.  I utilized the money I received from our previous search to supplement the purchase of a new larger coil.  I turned my target separation down to 1 to achieve maximum depth and power and on Saturday I returned to the field.  Ken had located some older photos that proved we were indeed in the right area.  We gave it another shot and we found a target and probed…nothing!  Found a target and probed…nothing!  Our third and best target we probed…it was an area we had probed during the previous search…suddenly Ken hit something!  We both smiled, hopeful that the search was indeed over.  We both grabbed a shovel and began to dig and at just about 20″ in depth we located the first brass clean-out cap.  I think we were both equal part excited and equal part relieved.

Afterwards, we marked out 100′ up hill in the direction the sewer pipes traveled and began again.

Thank you Ken!  I enjoyed our conversations and the opportunity to work on a different project than those I typically perform.  I learned some valuable knowledge and procured new equipment to continue helping others.

The first clean-out located at 20″ of depth

15″ coil utilized to locate the target

Roger lost his car key at the beach. After a futile attempt to find it, he found me on theringfinders.com web site, and asked if I could help. Well it was just that morning the key was lost, so I told him I would come right away, in order to increase the possibility of a recovery.

When I got to the beach Roger told me he had buried the key, so he could go in the water, and not have to worry someone might take it. The problem occurred when after being in the water, he came out grabbed his towel, and headed for his car. When he got there, it was then he realized that the key was still in the sand. I set up my equipment, and began my search. I made sure to cover all of the area Roger had pointed out to me, plus going further to be sure I did not miss it. After about 15 passes in my grid, having found numerous pieces of trash metal, I found the key, and held it up for Roger. He was happy to have it back so he could head off for work. So I really made his day.
