Diamond Ring Found Underwater by Rob Ellis and Ray Jones, Lake Anna, Virginia

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)

Rob and Christina Smiles!

Christina asked my help to find her lost engagement ring. While staying at a rental house on Lake Anna, she was with her sister in waist deep water and thought she felt the ring slip off her finger. Everyone at the house searched for the ring before she called me.

Christina’s beautiful diamond ring

She obtained the property manager’s permission to search, so I loaded up my SCUBA gear and made the hour and 45-minute drive to the site. Christina walked into the waist-deep, cool water, demonstrating how she thought her ring came off her finger. I carefully searched the area using jack stays and my circular search device. After a thorough hunt, I asked Christine if her ring could have slipped off somewhere else. She showed me where she had jumped off the dock and swam over to the beach.  After 4 and 1/2 hours, I was cold, exhausted, and disappointed. But I was not ready to give up!

I explained to Christina that I would return. I obtained permission from the rental manager and was back in the water in 4 days. I invited my friend Ray Jones to join me. Ray and I often team up, especially for water searches. Ray had decided to search in the shallow water using my Equinox 800.

I had just set up my search pattern near the dock when I heard Ray exclaim, he found Christina’s ring. He had started his search straight from the beach to where Christina thought she lost the ring. As he was walking in about 12 inches of water, he started using the detector. Surprisingly he heard a signal in the correct target tone on the third swing of the coil!

Ray and I met a couple of the neighbors, and one gave up permission to search in the private community dock area. We found some change, fishing rods, and a $10 bill! It was another great day with my friend Ray!

Christina and I met so I could return her beautiful engagement ring. Metal detecting underwater is a big investment in time and resources. After our combined thirteen hours of driving, SCUBA gear maintenance, use of high-quality metal detectors, and five hours search time, it doesn’t seem worth it. But, when I gave Christina her ring, the look on her face was priceless!!

If you have tried using a detector without success, please text/call to see if I can help.

LOST 24k WEDDING RING IN MORRISVILLE, NC…..FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a call that a young man had lost his 24k wedding ring while playing volleyball. They thought he lost it in the sand. I jumped in the truck and made the almost 2 hour drive.

I get there, get the story and begin my search. I searched the entire volleyball sand pit area 3-4 times and wasn’t coming up with the ring. One of the ladies had a 24k gold and it rang up a 91. I couldn’t believe it rang up that high until I found his ring.

I expanded my search area. After about an hour to hour and a half I went near the grass edge to the higher grass area in the direction of the water and I get a 94 signal! I look down and I can see a gold ring! Apprenatly the ring had bounced off the ball and went to his right about 10-15 feet!!

Another recovery in the books! This one was my 100th ring recovery since joining “The Ring Finders!”

I met Jerry at his house and we walked down to a private beach where the loss occurred. He knew the exact area where I should search. This only took me less then ten minutes to find, so I spent the next two hours searching the beach for other treasure with success.

Lost wedding ring – Dauphin Island, AL

Contact:

 

It was Wednesday evening and I was enjoying dinner with my BFF and detecting partner in Gulf Shores when I got a call from Justin who was vacationing at the beach from St Louis, MO. In spite of my phone displaying an unknown number, something told me to answer it. He explained that he had lost his wedding band over on Dauphin Island and sounded quite desperate to find it. Since I was visiting my friend for a week, I suggested I could probably look for it on Friday when I was planning to pass through on my way back home to Mobile. Hearing the disappointment in his voice, I decided my friend and I could go ahead and hop on the ferry first thing Thursday morning instead and try to help him out.

Justin anxiously met us upon our arrival at his rental and explained that he had thrown a football and felt the ring come off as he did so. They had been looking in the sand for it but, being platinum, it blended right in with the sand. He showed us where he had been standing and had even staked out an area where he believed the ring to be. By the time I was getting my machine set up, Cheryl had already completed her first pass of the area we were going to grid. I took about three steps toward the area to start when I heard Cheryl right behind me say, “I found it”….. pretty much right where I had been standing when I turned on my detector lol. There’s a good reason she is becoming known in the area by her well deserved nickname – “Beach Angel”. For the second time this week, I was thankful to have her with me as she seems to have an uncanny ability to go right to the exact area when we are doing a search. And Justin was very thankful to put his ring back on his finger where it belonged ! And please check out his awesome ministry channel on YouTube – Trial by Faith ……

Titanium « Fitness Ring » Found near Pittsburgh, PA by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I received a text from Gabrielle asking me if I could come out and look for another lost ring. I say « another » because she called me last year to look for a different ring she had lost. Unfortunately I was unable to find it. I agreed to come out but I had to wait as yet another snow was on its way.

The weather cleared and I was able to head out to search for the ring. She believed it was in the back yard where she had been cleaning up. It was a large area and I got started only to find a ton of targets. After I had been through the garden and yard areas twice I was convinced I was not going to find a ring on this trip either. As I was leaving I decided to detect my way to my vehicle, maybe I would dumb into the first ring I had been looking for. Suddenly I got a repeatable grunt and looked down – there was the ring she had most recently lost! Gabrielle had stepped out so I texted her that I found it. She could not believe I found it and that it was in the front yard. It was great to see a former kind and generous client and this time to return her lost ring.

Gold wedding ring lost on gravel road in Weirsdale, Florida found with a metal detector.

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Austin was doing some work tamping dirt around a post by his front gate and his gold wedding ring was hurting his finger, so he took it off and set it on top of his golf cart. He was thinking that as soon as he finished setting the post he would grab his ring off of the roof of his golf cart and drive up the driveway to his house for a drink. Well…he totally forgot about his ring and drove up the driveway and as soon as he got to the garage he remembered his ring and when he stopped and checked the roof of his gold cart…NO RING! The area where he was working was rough grass, dirt and gravel so he looked the area over really good and then remembered that his father in law had a cheap metal detector and even after using that for a couple of hours he still was not able to locate his gold wedding ring. Looking online he found my number and gave me a call and an hour later we met and Austin showed me exactly where he was parked and where he drove his golf cart. I set up my metal detector and began searching the rough grassy area thinking that surely his gold wedding ring must have slipped off while going around the other gate post. Nothing was located there so I headed up the driveway sweeping along the right side of the gravel driveway 100 yards to the carport and then I headed back down the opposite side. There were tons of signals…pieces of aluminum cans, bullet casings and other signals that sounded similar to what a gold wedding ring would sound like. I was swinging my coil so it went a foot or so over the edge of the gravel road as there were allot of leaves along the edge and as I was finishing up the far side I got a blip of a good signal out on the road and I rechecked the target and BOOM! There was Austin’s gold wedding ring…just laying in the open on the gravel road for all to see. Austin could not believe it and we both just stood there and shook our heads in unbelief!

How can I help you? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk! 321-363-6029

2 Lost Gold Rings in Yard Found in Southgate Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Less Stress…..

….is what Dawn was hoping for as she revealed that last summer her son and husband Wayne decided to wrestle around in the dark. Afterwards Wayne noticed his rings missing. They searched with various methods but got nothing for their effort. When Wayne suddenly passed away recently, their son asked Dawn if dad had ever found his rings. In the backyard they showed me what they remember happening that evening. Starting a grid search I was just about ready to widen the search area when my MXT metal detector revealed 2 items not too far from each other. Pinpointing closer revealed Wayne’s rings tucked away in the grass! I texted Dawn and son to come out back. They each reached down and pulled up a ring, looking to me and the sky, they said thank you for giving us 2 things to stress less about!

Pinky Gold….

….Got a call from Steve, he told me he thought his ring came off last autumn while putting the summer tools and machines away. We went over the 3 location he remembered being. Starting with the middle location my MXT metal detector didn’t register anything. Choosing the north location, I got a nice signal in a pile of leaves. Pinpointing the location revealed Steve’s pinky ring hiding below! I knocked on the door and asked him to follow me. A look of surprise appeared as he gazed upon his ring! His wife came to see and a pinky swear between the 2 sealed the deal that the ring will stay on….hopefully!

Lost keys in Lincoln Heights Park….Found !!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

As the snow was falling in Lincoln Heights, so were the keys Charlotte had in her pocket. While throwing a ball and taking her phone out of her pocket, the keys dislodged themselves from inside her jacket. That action left her stranded at the park because her only car key was on that ring. As she looked frantically, Charlotte asked some of the other people in the park to help her look. Sadly, no one wanted to help her look. With somber hearts and heads hung low, Charlotte and her dog walked home that night. After returning home from a long trip the next day Sergio her husband heard the news of Charlotte’s lost keys. While returning to the park to look Sergio felt the need to find someone to help them. Google gave Sergio my name and we started talking that morning about the lost keys. I got myself ready and headed out as soon as Sergio gave me the go ahead. After going over the details for how the keys were lost, I started my search right by the car that Charlotte had exited from. The many foot paths and shovel marks made seeing any sign of the keys impossible. Resorting back to the east to west grid search pattern, I tried to keep a tight weave as I swung my coil back and forth. After making about halfway up the hill I was talking with Charlotte about her actions. She described walking up and down the sled hill and she showed me where she was throwing the ball for her dog. I switched my search pattern to north and south. As I made my 4th path up the hill I got a really high tone on the metal detector. I swung the coil over the target, I could see it was only showing a few inches down. I knew the snow was over a foot deep, so the target had to be big. Kicking at the snow moved it away from the grass revealing the cluster of keys. Shouting to Charlotte I found the keys, she walked toward me with a tired gate. The weight of the lost keys had been lifted and she was so happy.

 

Will the keys work after being frozen in the snow
