Hello , here is another post of a recovery I made last night for a guy not to far from me..        Mr. Brian B. gave me a call yesterday evening just before dark about a ring he had lost while having a snow ball fight with his wife.. When speaking to him he gave me all the details and explained that when he was shaking the snow and water off his hands the rings flew off and he heard it ping / hit the ground..  He then tried to find the ring but was unsuccessful since there was snow everywhere and the ring was hidden in the snow.. even though it was getting dark I offered to come out and find it for him in the dark anyway since he was close and I really enjoy helping people recover their lost items.. It took me about 30 minutes to get there and I recovered the ring pretty fast using my Garrett ATPRO metal detector.. The search took about 15 minutes.. The ring was found only a few feet from where he lost it.. I was really happy to help MR. Brian B. and he was very happy to have it found.. He is a really nice guy and it was a pleasure to help him..DCIM100GOPRO DCIM100GOPRO

Received a call yesterday afternoon from Matt in regards to finding his ring which was lost last November after his girlfriends chucked it over the fence into somebody’s back yard after having a disagreement, I asked Matt why it took him this long to try and find his ring he said since it had snowed that day his ring would be buried and it would be safe there until spring, yesterday he was searching on the internet and found me and the rest is history.

Matt told me he had permission from the owner to look for his ring. Made arrangement to meet this morning at the lactation, arrived in the back yard where there was around two feet of snow lucky for me the yard size was only 33’ x 50’ with a deck and fenced; Matt told me it was a heavy gold ring with his initials. Searched the area for about 30 minutes with no luck, then bingo ring found! Underneath the table on the deck somehow the ring must have bounced off something and ended up there as you can see by the picture the ring was very large. Mat & Sam was very happy to get the ring back once again. Thanks Matt for entrusting me and the TheRingFinders to search for your ring.

On 1/22/2014  I  received a call from a gentleman and his wife  in  Durham N.C. about a lost wedding band that he had lost  off his upper back patio while using his grill. After speaking to the gentleman and his wife I agreed to meet with  them at their home where he lost his wedding band. On    1/24/2014 I drove to their home that morning to do the search and meet with the gentleman to help him locate his missing ring. The gentleman also advised me he had attempted to locate the ring himself but was unsuccessful .   He had explained all the details to me on the phone prior to me coming out so i had a good idea of where to start looking.  When he was using his grill he had burned his hand and when he got burned he started shaking and flinging his hand around..  That is when the ring flew off his finger. After a couple hours of searching the ring was recovered and  As you can see from the pictures he was very relieved and grateful to have his ring back . These people are very nice and it was my pleasure to help them. bs3 383 bs3 382

Lost Ring Kemah, Texas (Recovered)

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)
Contact:

  01/18/2014 I received the following e-mail

Subject: Missing Ring

 Hi my name is William and I lost a gold ring.  It is very dear to my family and I would like your help.  It is in Kemah.  Can you come by this week?

 Thanks

 WHT

 01/19/2014 William and I spoke on the phone and he outlined some of the details regarding his missing ring. William said he and several friends where at another friend’s house down in Kemah, Texas.  He said they were all out on the ground level deck visiting and enjoying the outdoors when his girlfriend dropped her 18kt ring.

 William said they heard the ring hit the deck; it bounced of his shoe and disappeared either into the grass or under the deck.  He said they search for the ring and later found www.theringfinders.com website and sent an e-mail.

 A few lesson learned on this search, I normally ask and get a pretty through « CAN » report which is an acronym for Conditions, Actions, and Needs (Firefighter Terminology).

 Gathering all relevant information as normal I scheduled a trip for Thursday 01/23/2014.

  I made the trip out to Kemah on Thursday as scheduled and met William at the location provided. As I arrived, I could see some time had been spent looking for the ring. The large wooden deck had been jacked up in one of its corners with a large bumper jack. (The point is coming), « the actions portion of the CAN report. »

 After introductions and a firsthand account of how the ring was lost, I began searching the grassy area around the deck and then began the process of crawling under the deck to find the lost ring. To be expected, the deck had its share of beer tabs and bottle tops, but no ring. I spent an hour working the areas around and under the deck with no positive result.

 It was at this point the decision was made to lower the jack and move it to the other side of the deck. The plan was to jack up the opposing corner of the deck and check the areas I could not reach. As I examined the jack, I thought to myself Williams a pretty sharp guy; he used the large steel water utility cover as a footing for the jack.  I started looking for something to use on the other side as a footing for the jack. I again ran my hand held around the edge of the cover checking for the ring, but no luck.

 It was at this point William grabbed the large steel utility cover off the ground (OK, will stop here with the story)

 William had brought the steel utility cover along with him to use as a footing for the jack. I couldn’t believe it; it looked like it belonged there, and had been there a long time.

 Well, I think we all know where the ring was found, under the cover WOW. William had put the large steel cover right over the ring.  I went around that darn cover 20 plus times; knowing in my mind, that the utility cover was their long before any of us. (wrong). This was where I failed in my CAN report, « Actions » what actions had been taken. 

 One can never ask enough questions. I am still laughing about this one.

 William was glad to get his girlfriend’s ring back, all in all a good day for everyone.

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered Northwest Houston, Texas

I received a call from Fernando a resident of Northwest Houston on Thursday regarding his lost wedding ring.

Fernando stated he lost his ring today while trimming the hedges in his front yard. He said he had searched for several housrs and was unable to find his ring. Fernando said he later searched the internet and found www.theringfinders.com website and located the nearest Ring Finder.

I met Fernando at his residence this morning and was given the details of how and where he believed the ring had fallen of his finger.

The area to be searched was quite small, and the recovery was quite quick.

Fernando was quite surprised and relieved his ring was recovered.

Lost Electronic Car Key … Doheny State Beach, CA. … Recovered in the Sand

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Thursday     January 16, 2014

My phone rang at 7:45 am as I was pouring my first cup of coffee. Adrianne had found my name online in TheRingFinders website. She asked if I could help her find an electronic car key that she had lost in the sand at Doheny State Beach. She was not sure if a metal detector could find this type of key because she thought it was plastic. I was sure it would not be a problem, but I brought a rake and a sifting tool in case I had to use them. We set up a 9:00 am meeting at parking area near where she lost the key.

Adrianne and her girl friend had gone to the beach the day before to go stand up paddle boarding. She left her key under the sand and put her sandals on top of them.  When they returned her sandals were gone, but she thought her key was still in the sand. She and two of her friends spent several hours on their hands and knees searching for it. It was almost as big as a cellphone  but it could not be found by sifting through the sand with their fingers.

I arrived about 15 minutes early so I walked onto the beach. There was an area about 40ft. square that was clearly marked by fingers that had been sifting the sand. I set up my Minelab CTX 3030 metal detector in all metal setting and began my search in the center of the area. Two passes of about 40ft. that took about 15 minutes and I had the car key in my sand scoop.

Adrianne and her friends showed up shortly after I found the key. She had brought her spare key so we could verify that the detector could find the material. She held the spare key up and said it looks like this. I reached in my pocket and pulled out the one I found saying, « like this ». She was so excited I thought she wouldn’t stop praisng me and thanking me. It was another nice day and it feels good to be able to have the time, equipment and experience to do this for people.  She did say, that she would find a better way to keep her key when she goes onto the beach.

Lost Ring … Laguna Beach, CA. … Found in Sand

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Friday .. January 10, 2014

It’s winter in So. Calif. and people are still going to the beach. I was in Huntington Beach doing some detecting when I got a call from Scott. He was in Laguna Beach at a small cove located at the end of Moss St. He and his wife Shauna had recently moved here from Denver and had spent the day at this beautiful beach with their two daughters. Scott’s platinum wedding band slipped off while throwing a football. It was getting dark when he called me and I asked him if he could wait 35 or 45 minutes as I was 15 miles up the coast. The tide had already peaked so we still had a chance to locate it. When we met he walked me down to the location he thought it came off. I stood back about 25 feet and told him I needed to adjust my settings on my detector. When I put my coil down on the sand to take the first swing I got a hit (metal tone on my detector).There it was a nice platinum ring. It was from past experiences that I chose to start my search  back from where he thought it came off his finger. This time it worked to make it a quick recovery.  They were very surprised and happy to have the ring recovered. Shauna told me that this ring has quite a story. This was the 7th or 8th time it has been lost and found. Scott told me he was going to have it resized, but he made sure he put my phone number in his contacts.

Two days later, Sunday 1-12-14 , I received another call from Jim about another lost platinum ring at another small cove in Laguna Beach. I drove from La Jolla Shores, CA. and we met at 7pm. The tide was high. He and his wife had come to the beach with their two kids to explore the tide pools earlier at low tide.

Jim »s story was different than Scott’s as he did not realize his ring was missing till he and his family were diving home. The ring would have been lost at low tide if it was lost at the beach in the sand. He did review some photos the had taken while at the beach  and the ring was on his finger. I did a grid search that evening for more than an hour and returned the next day an hour and a half before a minus .5 ft. low tide. This time I spent 3 hours searching all the sand area the size of a football field. This year I have found about seven rings after they were lost in the water. Most were lost at high tide and they were still recoverable even several days after they were lost.  This time I was unable to recover Jim’s ring. All searches are not successful.

I have several top of the line detectors. My favorite is the Minelab CTX 3030 and I use it for most of ring searches.

Lost Diamond Engagement Ring Recovered in Glen Burnie, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

As I mentioned in my most recent post, Sunday was a busy day! Right after recovering Rodney’s wedding band, I set off to meet Anthony in Glen Burnie. He contacted me early Sunday morning desperate to find his fiance’s (of less than 24 hours!) engagement ring.  Luckily I had my detecting buddy Lance with me for both outings. We work very well together as a team and being able to cover twice the ground is a huge plus. Here is Anthony’s take on how things went down.

On January 4th I made the final decision to purchase my girlfriend an engagement ring to give to her at midnight (because the fourth was her birthday and I didn’t want to give it to her for that.) So at midnight in front of twenty of our friends and family I got on one knee and asked her to marry me. She said yes and then the excitement followed pictures everywhere and a celebration. We decided to let the night drag on into an after party. We went to our friend’s house and had about six of us just hanging out. We all decided to go outside when my girlfriend decided to go play in the snow(she was excited so it was just her having fun.) However the ring had not been sized one hundred percent at this point. She eventually got out of the snow and realized that she had dropped her ring!! We immediately started to search the area with phone flashlights trying to find the ring. After a while we realized that all these people weren’t a good choice because we were just stepping on each others toes. We ran to Wal Mart to get materials for a search party since we couldn’t find a metal detector. Armed with flash lights, head lamps, a few rakes and will power we began our five hour search in the back yard. We still came up empty at around 7 am I was offered a metal detecting wand to help assist my search. Again no luck with the wand. After hours of searching I had finally decided to do some research on the whole topic of losing rings. Somehow I stumbled across theringfinders.com. I didn’t think that this would be any help because I was sure there was no one in the area but I decided to give it a look anyway. There ended up being someone roughly ten miles away from the house I was doing the search party! I was able to get in contact with Mr. Wagner and he said he would be able to come out later in the day because he had another call and he was checking to see what the weather was going to do. After I contacted him I decided I’d give it one more go just because I was still worried and wouldn’t be able to sleep anyway. I went and purchased a metal detector from harbor freight tools and now I was ready to go on a search again. Ok without saying much unless your trained don’t even waste your time buying one of these. Eventually we gave up even searching with a detector we were getting hits everywhere in the yard. As soon as I decided to call it a day Mr. Wagner called me back to say he was on his way around 10am. Himself and a colleague showed up shortly thereafter armed and ready to find the ring. I had a general direction of where we thought the ring was at so I gave them the perimeter and they were on the hunt. As soon as they started not even 30 seconds !!! into the search they were able to locate the ring!!!! They were both very nice gentleman and I was finally able to go to sleep after an all night search party in frigid conditions digging through snow with bare hands. This man will find your ring 100% don’t pass him up if you’re in need of help the price was next to nothing for such a priceless piece of jewelry.
