Heirloom ring recovered from Lakewood back yard

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

On the weekend of March 13/14 the Denver area received it’s largest snow fall in 18 years with some areas receiving as much as three feet of snow. On the following Monday Dana was talking on the phone with a friend and they decided to compare snow depths. Dana actually grabbed a tape measure and headed to their back patio to measure the snow that had accumulated on top of their trash cans. In doing this Dana’s hand that had her great-great (maybe one more great) grand father’s wedding band on came in contact with the snow. In shaking the snow off her hand, the ring went flying off and into the snow. She didn’t hear the ring hit anything due to the snows depth and she couldn’t see any hole in the snow to give indication of the ring’s location. Dana and her husband started filling plastic tote containers full of snow and taking them to their bathtub to melt to see if they could find the ring. After several totes with no ring and not a lot of snow left in the immediate area they needed to try something different that is when Dana found my profile on Theringfinders.com and she called me.

Dana called a little after 4:00 PM and explained her situation. I thought there would be just enough time for me to drive to her house and perform a search. I am co-host of Relic Roundup a live talk show podcast about treasure hunting ever Monday night, we go live on air at 7:00 PM. So with getting my gear together, the drive would normally take a half hour but I wasn’t sure of road conditions (remember a near record snowstorm just occurred) a search and then return home. It was going to be tight but I had to do the search.

I arrived at their condo and we talked about the events that lead to the rings loss. Dana, her husband and I moved some metallic items out of the search area and I began my search. I grabbed one of my detectors that I typically use for ring searches and began swinging. But due to underground electrical cables, yard edging and other interferences that machine wasn’t going to get the job done. I switched machines to my CTX 3030 and started swinging again. After a minute of two I received a good signal and made comment of such. I kicked away a couple of inches of snow and the gold band made it’s appearance. Dana had put up a good front while I was searching but when I finally recovered the ring she realized what it was that was missing. Inscribed on the inside of the band is « ELS to HLE Dec 21,1896. ELS was her great-great grandmother Elizabeth and H was her great-great grandfather Herman. I felt fortunate to now be associated with such a story and history of this ring.

Platinum Wedding Ring Lost in Sand in Newport Beach…Found and Joyfully Returned.

I received a text from Trisha. Her husband was throwing a rugby ball to his son, when on one pitch he felt his wedding ring fly off of his hand, and into the sand. With the force of his pitch he knew the ring could have gone far, and all that sand looks the same. They were on vacation from Delaware, were going back in a week, and did not want to leave his ring in California. I left immediately.

When I got there Trisha and her husband Andrew were waiting. They took me over to where the loss occurred. Andrew stood where he was when the ring came off, and showed me the direction of the pitch. I could see that they had searched quite a large area, but were not able to find the ring. I started at the spot where Andrew had been standing, and began my grid. The area was fairly clean of metal trash, though I was finding some of the common items such as foil and pull tabs. I searched out until I got to the outer edge of where they had already searched, and then right in the middle of their foot drag marks, I received a good repeating signal, dug, and had Andrew’s ring. They were very excited to see it again, and I am sure, wondering how they had missed it. It turned out to be a very happy day for all!

Zack called me to ask if I could help in finding his lost wedding ring. I was more than happy to offer my services. He had been in his small back yard throwing a ball to his child, when he felt his ring come off. He heard it hit the fence where there was a narrow area for plants, but he searched to avail, even with a rented metal detector. I was on my way.

When I got there, Zach let me into the yard. It was surely small, and the grass area was Astro Turf which could not hide the ring, so the only possibility was the narrow planting area which was next to the fence. That area was covered in wood chips that does provide cover for lost items, but they were pretty tightly packed. There were some small bushes that you could pretty much see through, and one good sized rubber tree. I scanned the wood chips, the small bushes also using the pin pointer, and then moved to the rubber tree. I searched around the tree, and then used the pin pointer to go into the leaf joints. I Started working around the back side of the tree, when right next to the tree in the dead leaves my pin pointer went off. I reached in, and moved the leaves around, and spotted the ring. I brought it out and gave it to Zach. He was so surprised, because he had searched the area, even with his rented metal detector, but came up empty. We as Ring Finders are very good at what we do. Do not hesitate to call if you need something found!

I received a text from Dustin about his lost wedding ring wondering if I would be available to do a search for him. He had been out on a Los Angeles mountain trail, with his child, when they found a tree swing. Dustin said he believed that the ring was lost while he was pushing his child on the swing which sounded very logical to me, because it is something that you do out of the ordinary that usually causes the ring to come off the finger. We arranged to meet the next day for the search.

When I got to the trailhead Dustin was waiting for me. I got my equipment together, and we walked up the trail. When we arrived at the tree swing there were a lot of trees in the area, as well as weeds surrounding the swing. When I began I started by searching the weeds on the perimeter, and worked my way in, in a circular pattern towards the center where the swing was. There were some items in the area that I was finding such as bottle caps, and pull tabs that slowed the process a bit, but I kept to the plan. it was after about 3 times around, Ii got a great repeating signal, put my pin pointer in, and found Dustin’s ring. He was very excited to have it back, as I was to be the one to give it back to him; it made for a great day!

Gold Wedding Ring Lost at Malibu Beach…Found and Happily Returned.

II got a contact from Betty about her husband’s lost wedding. They had been at the beach that day, and it was dropped somewhere in the sand where they had been sitting, but they had been unable to find it. They wanted to arrange a time the next morning to do a search, but I convinced them, even though it might be a little late and dark to do the search to eliminate the possibility of another metal detectorist of finding the ring early in the morning. So I was on my way.

When I arrived, I met Betty and her husband Jack. We walked out to the area of the loss. It took a few minutes to find the exact area in the darkness even though they had marked it, but we were successful. I began my search, working in a tight grid, and after a few quiet passes, I got the signal I was wanting. I scooped the sand, and had Jack’s ring. I showed them, and they were very excited. It was then that they told me they had been married only 4 1/2 months, so I was happy to return that very precious memory, and token of love to them in such a short time. Time is the enemy in a recovery, so CALL NOW, don’t wait.

Betty sent the following testimonial:

Steve aka Life Saver!!! Thank you so so incredibly much for helping my husband and I locate his wedding band in the pitch dark at Malibu beach! Steve knew the beach so well and helped us find the ring in less than 1 minute. (We had narrowed it down to a box of where we knew it was) My husband and I would highly recommend this service and Steve was a true pleasure.
Thank you,
Elizabeth

Lost Wedding Ring Found 1 Year Later In Lincoln, NB

  • from Fredericton (New Brunswick, Canada)
Contact:

Happy Owner

There’s the ring.

I received a call from  about his wedding ring he lost while out hunting with his son. In the congratulating his son on his first deer, the ring came off of his finger and flew into the woods. They searched for it at the time and then came back on a couple of occasions to see if he could find it, but was never able to locate it. He finally found me online and called, we met up and in a drenching downpourI followed him back into the area he had lost it. I searched the primary area then moved to the expanding search around the perimeter, finally locating it after about a 1/2 hr. He was very relieved to have it back on his finger after a year and said his wife would be equally pleased for the symbol of their marriage to be back in place. Thanks for the reward, and glad to see it back where it belongs.

Lost Heirloom Bracelet found in Keswick Ridge, NB

  • from Fredericton (New Brunswick, Canada)
Contact:

So I got a call from William who lost his 10K solid gold bracelet from his grandfather, that was given to him by his grandfather just before he passed away. He believed he lost it while at the cemetery near Keswick Ridge, NB or possibly at his parents house in Fredericton, New Brunswick, while cleaning the front and back yard. To make it even worse it snowed for the next few nights covering the area. He had spent days on hands and knees trying to locate it and finally decided to look online for a metal detector rental, but found TheRingFinders and me instead. He called and we met at his house searching the front and back yards with no success. We then drove out and searched at the cemetery where he’d attended his grandfathers funeral. Snow had fallen and been plowed off the road and shoulders forming high snow banks. We started searching from where he’d walked from the road to the cemetery entrance and then searched where he’d parked along the highway. After a short search I located the ring as it had been pushed down the roadway a bit. He was actually on the phone with his family when I walked up and dropped the ring in his hand. To say he was taken aback is an understatement and I could hear hear the families reaction over the phone as he told them it had just been found.

I was so happy to reunite you with your late grandfathers bracelet, that he gave you, I hope it brings you many years of great memories as you wear and look at it.

Lost White Gold Ring Found In Luna Pier Michigan

Beaches, Bonfires and Moongazing

Well what else is there to do in Luna Pier? That’s exactly what Dora and her friends were thinking Saturday night and into the morning hours today when the set up a get together on a private land beach to enjoy spending time together.

As the evening progressed into the morning they watched a thin waxing crescent moon rise over lake Erie. As the logs burnt away and the temperatures dropped the young group of selenophile’s decided to part company. It wasn’t until later this morning Dora realized her ring was missing. On site we checked the beach area and worked towards her house searching the path she travelled. Nothing in the sand was found. Getting closer to her house in a grassy area I got a great signal where white gold registers on my MXT. Reaching down revealed this very unique design white gold ring! Dora concluded that it must have come off while reaching for her keys in her pocket. Now the memories of losing her ring are replaced with thoughts of great friends, beaches, the crackling of a bonfire and the serenity of moonglow!

Lost Silver and Turquoise Ring Found In Southwest Detroit

Penelope’s Great Aunt-Venture

When Penelope got home last night after leaving her friends house she noticed her ring was missing. It was part of a collection her great Aunt had passed down through the family and only hoped it could be found.

On site today we followed the path she walked home. Checking the hard surface areas revealed nothing so I turned on my MXT and walked the path thru some grassy vacant lots she took as a short cut home. Towards the end I got a nice signal in the grass. Pinpointing the target then reaching into the grass revealed this very thin band, unique silver and turquoise adjustable ring! She came over to see and was thrilled that it was here and not out on the pavement, and that she can return it to her great Aunt’s collection.

Lost Wedding Band in Bristow Virginia Yard, Found in Bushes

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Call Ray @ MyGoldFinder for lost items 571.258.7217.

I received a text message early Saturday morning from Todd in Bristow, Virginia requesting my assistance in locating his yellow gold wedding band which was lost somewhere in his backyard the night before. Todd has been enjoying the beautiful weather we’ve been having these past few days here on the East coast; spending time cleaning up the yard, doing some trimming of the bushes and vines, doing a general cleanup and hanging around his hammock. At some point during the evening he realized his ring was no longer on his finger, like many men including myself we tend to ‘feel’ the ring constantly as a nature of habit and that’s when he noticed it was gone. He spent several hours at night looking for the ring, unfortunately with no luck. As many customer tend to do he almost was tempted to purchase a metal detector himself, I’m glad he called me instead! Most if not all of the customers I’ve met who have purchased a lower end detector were not successful in finding their treasure as the unit may not have been sufficient to isolate the ring from many other hits, and new customers tend to not have the experience to fully utilize the detector’s features.

I arrived at Todd’s beautiful home in the early part of the afternoon, then after a brief description of his ‘yard’ activities I initially started a quick sweep to see if I could get a hit. With the quick sweep not showing any significant results I started a more detailed grid of different sections of the yard, still no ring. The yard was not significantly large, but was broken up into nice little sectional areas; hammock area, birdbath, stone walk, bush areas. After hitting most areas several times I started to focus on the bush areas next t the fence which also had heavy vines growing on them. I borrowed a rake and cleaned most of the leaves and debris from the bush bedding area and still after a few grid searches no good hits.

I was then laying on the ground running the detectors further in to reach past the heavier bushes that’s when there was something sparking as bright as the ring from Lord of Rings, there was Todd’s beautiful golden wedding band. Even with a detector it would have been difficult to get a hit on this one as it was positioned between two closely nestled bushes. Sometimes you just have to get dirty! Todd was so excited to see his ring back and immediately placed in on his finger, hopefully never to come off again.

Great customer, thank you Todd for using theRingFinders network.
