Grandfather’s Gold Crucifix Lost in Grassy Area, Found and Returned Leland, NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

A little after 11am this morning, the 21st of March, I got a message from fellow Ring Finder, Steve Ray. The message said “I just got a call about a lost cross where he knows the area, along, but not in a lake. Leland NC, if you’re interested. I’m in Ohio.” Steve also sent a text from the owner, along with a phone number. I messaged Steve back saying, “Yea, I can take it.” I called the number in the text and didn’t get an answer, so I left a voice mail. Within seconds, Matt, the owner, called me back and I got additional information. He agreed with me coming to search, and I told him I’d be there in about an hour.

When I arrived, Matt was standing on the balcony of the apartment and came right down to the parking lot.  As we’re walking out to the area, he explained that when he woke up this morning, he needed to get something out of the car. At the time, his wife had the car keys, and she was out in a back area of the apartments with the dogs. So, he had walked out to get the keys from his wife. While he was out there, he felt the chain break that was holding the Crucifix. He grabbed the chain and thought the Crucifix fell out of his shirt on the ground. He also stated that he searched the area numerous times. He also searched the bedroom, bathroom and rest of the apartment with no luck. As he’s taking me to the area, I searched his path both visually and with the Nox 800. When we got to where he said the chain broke, I started a grid search. It was a small area, maybe 10×20 foot square. Both sides of the area had wire fencings. I checked those areas, which was mostly leaves with my pin pointer. As I’m searching, all of a sudden, he says, “Thank You for coming” and he had a big smile on his face. It only meant one thing! As I turned around to see what he was talking about, he put both hands on my shoulder and squeezed my shoulders. He pointed to the ground, and I could see the Crucifix, which was well blended in with the ground. I love it when things work out for the best. On the way back to my car, Matt told me the Crucifix originally belonged to his grandfather. When Matt’s grandparents hit their 50th wedding anniversary, his grandfather had the Crucifix specially engraved and gave it to wife. Both grandparents have passed and it’s all the more sentimental to Matt as a reminder of his Grandparents every day. It was a beautiful story!

Matt – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure.

Losing a ring in the sand can feel hopeless, but I’m Dave, your local ring finder, here to help.

That’s when he searched “how to find a ring in the sand in Oxnard” and found me at davetheringfinder.com.
The Search for a Lost Ring in Oxnard Sand
Dave called me the next morning with coordinates of the spot at Oxnard Beach Park. Though he had to check out early, I promised to recover his ring fast. The 20×20 patch of sand showed their efforts, but I knew rings often move. Using my Minelab Manticore, I started a grid search, going beyond their marks. On my fourth pass, three feet outside the perimeter, I got a solid 25 signal. One scoop with my CKG scoop, and the clink confirmed it—his ring was back!

Property Pin located in West Kelowna BC

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

June moved into her West Kelowna home 1 year ago, now it is time to start renovations, starting with a fence. However it is not a new home and the Survey pins are hidden, June found me on « The Ringfinders » and gave me a call for assistance. I responded the next day with my Metal Detector. the lot is an odd shape so the backyard was difficult to locate, the front yard had a large tree on both fronts, the one on the left was overgrown, the one on the right was large but groomed back. I stated searching by the utilities and Water shut off. A few old targets, but no pin so I moved around the supposedly neighbours tree and there it was 12 inches away from the tree. Now June can get a lot blueprint and measure from that pin.

Hierloom Gold Diamond Pendant.. Lost in Grass .. Fountain Valley, CA.

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

 


*** Finding a gold diamond pendant in the grass at a public park can be challenging, especially in the dark. Celine called for help to find her sentimental pendant that was a gift from her grandmother and she has worn it everyday for years.

It was dark when I received the call. Celine told me she was in a Fountain Valley neighborhood park with her dog. Her dog playfully jumped up with its paws braking her gold necklace. The pendant flew off into deep grass.

During our conversation she asked if she could meet me the next day after she got home from work.  I would rather meet her as soon as possible, so I could get the location pinpointed. If it didn’t show up in the dark. I could resume the search the next day while she was at work.

I met her with her neighbor  and his metal detector. He was unable to locate the pendant. My equipment was able to locate the pendant shortly after I started the grid search. I’m sure the neighbor could have found it, but she had him searching the wrong location. This is more common than most inexperienced ringfinders know. It always important to ask the important questions. Celine was more than happy to have her pendant back.

I also took time to show her neighbor  that his detector would have found it if he was in the right location.

Ring Lost Doing Yard Work: Recovered by Rob Ellis, Fairfax, VA.

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Kathy contacted me to help locate her one-of-a-kind wedding band. She lost it in her backyard over a month ago while doing yardwork. This work included covering her rose bushes for the winter. I gathered my rake, grid search lines, heavy gloves, detectors, and headed to her home.

The yard consisted of the area where Kathy cut the covering material for the rose bushes and a lower terrace containing the 10 rose bushes. Kathy showed me how she’d moved about the yard, trimming the bushes, cutting the covering material and pointing out other areas of the yard in which she worked. She took me to the place she transitioned from the lower terrace, climbing a 4-foot wall to the flat area where she cut the winter cover material. It took some time to gather the information, but it really paid off when I began to search.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I started at the spot where Kathy had climbed the wall. I turned on and calibrated my detector, swung it over the grass, and heard a clear gold tone. I found Kathy’s beautiful ring as I completed my first swing of the machine!! This isn’t the first time I’ve found a ring right away. I give credit to luck and Kathy’s excellent description of her movements throughout her yard.

 

For my fellow detectorists:

Target IDs of this 10-gram, 14k gold ring: Deus 2=85, Equinox 800=21, Equinox 900=62.

Webster Groves Wedding Band

My wife lost her ring in the yard a couple months ago and we had lost hope after another metal detector said it might be a lost cause since our yard had so many random bits of buried metal. We were impressed by Jeremy’s experience and efficiency. Highly recommend! »

Swift Recovery of Cable Bay Wedding Ring

  • from Paihia (New Zealand)
Contact:

Sam texted me yesterday to say he had just lost his wedding ring at Cable Bay.
Forty five minutes later I was kitting up to start the search.

Cable Bay is a much more dynamic beach than Coopers Beach in the previous recovery, so Sam contacting me as soon as possible gave him the very best chance of getting his ring returned.

I started down the beach to the low tide waterline, turned and started the first return sweep.
Two or three paces and a smooth golden tone was clear in the headphones.
First scoop wasn’t enough, but the second bite left the hole silent.
I sifted through the shells at the side of the hole and Sams wedding ring stood out in the afternoon sunlight.
I held it up to the unbelieving couple with a big smile, « This yours? »

Most recoveries are pure hard graft, physically and mentally.
It’s nice to have one like this once in a while.

Wedding Ring Lost at Coopers Beach

  • from Paihia (New Zealand)
Contact:

The first of two recoveries at Doubtless Bay this week….

I was contacted by a friend of Dean after she heard he had lost his wedding ring in the sea a couple of weeks previously.
Hand crafted in the Shetland Islands off Scotland, he only wore it on special occasions.

Dean had taken a dip at Coopers Beach before the wedding, and felt the ring slip off his finger while in the water.
He had given it up as lost, as so many unfortunately do, but his friend Joanne heard about it and contacted me.

Although we had had rough seas since the loss which would have put it a little deeper under fresh sand, two weeks head start was still a very high probability of success for Coopers.
Unfortunately no-one who was there on the day was available, so by playing « Chinese Whispers » with Dean over the phone and some guidance from Joanne as to their regular swim spot I made a start.

Dean mentioned he had been « pretty much straight out from the kayaks », I arrived and found the cluster of kayaks tied up under the trees and set to work.
The search area progressively grew larger and larger – I operate to 95+ probability of detection and the search pattern markers in the sand expanded further outwards with no sign of the ring.
I had just closed off the area, and started to work on the wildcard possibilities. Unlikely to hold the ring, but I always close off the What-If scenarios, so often they aren’t where people think they should be.

Looking back across the search grid, I was happy I hadn’t missed it. Had a casual walker spotted it and picked it up? Was it really here?
Joanne arrived as I was starting to expand the area yet again, and informed me that Dean was referring to her kayaks further up the beach – that were no longer there as they had been removed before the rough weather!

Back to square one.

Search 2 now started in front of the kayaks that were no longer there…
I worked the new grid, but after another hour, there was nothing but the usual metallic rubbish of ancient bottle caps, can pull tabs and a couple of aluminium rivet heads worn off dinghies years ago.
Joanne had to head off with the kids, so I said I’d finish the next sweep and call it quits.

That sweep finished, I wasn’t ready to let it go so started another, and another… It takes a lot for me to walk away from a ring.

Joanne was long gone when, a quiet tone in the headphones, very faint – almost imperceptible but a definite fluctuation in the threshold hum of the machine but consistent.
I glanced at the display, the detector software didn’t even know it was there! My experienced ears could hear it though.
The scoop went in, me standing on it with all my weight to force it through the layers of tightly packed shell, and the signal remained in the hole.
Another bite, and another until in the fluid sand at the bottom of the hole I saw a flash of yellow nearly 40cm down.

I reached in and pulled a handful of sand out – As my fingers unfolded, the outline of Deans wedding ring emerged.
I sent a text to both Dean and Joanne – « Gottit! »

Dean was back up from Auckland the following weekend, and we arranged a meet to reunite him with the ring.

A Lost Treasure Found: A Heartwarming Search for a Cherished Ring

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Sometimes, even the smallest objects can hold the deepest meaning. Recently, I was called upon to help locate a sentimental treasure—a wedding ring lost during a joyful moment in the yard.

It all started when I received a message from someone whose wife had accidentally lost her ring while playing with their dog. We coordinated a time for me to visit and assist in the search. Arriving a little earlier than planned, I noticed an area of the yard where the grass had been raked—a sure sign that others had already been combing through for clues.

With my equipment in hand, I began my search, methodically scanning the area. About twenty minutes in, something caught my eye before my detector even alerted me—it was the ring, glinting in the grass! Relief washed over me, knowing this cherished item was found.

As I worked, I couldn’t help but notice the watchful eyes of the neighbors. It became clear that this was no ordinary lost-and-found mission; it was a community effort. The neighbors shared in the anticipation, having spent the previous evening searching themselves.

After finding the ring, I walked back to my car and shared the good news with one of the neighbors, who was just as thrilled as I was. Moments later, my client arrived, greeted by smiles from all around. His joy was palpable as he approached me, asking, “You have something for me?” Handing him the ring, I could see the gratitude in his eyes. His heartfelt thankfulness was echoed by his daughter, who was overjoyed that her mother’s ring was back where it belonged.

This experience reminded me of the power of a community coming together and the significance of sentimental treasures. It wasn’t just about the ring; it was about the memories it represented and the love it symbolized. Helping to reunite this family with their precious memento was truly an honor.

LOST SILVER WEDDING RING in FAYETTEVILLE, NC….. FOUND!!!!

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

So on my way back home from my Goldsboro, NC recovery, I get a call from a guy in Fayetteville, NC that lost his silver wedding ring in his backyard while cleaning up trees and debris 2 weeks ago.

I make the deture and head his way. Get to his house, we head to the back and I start my search! The ring is not foubd where he thought he lost it and where he had already found his copper ring.

I advise we backtrack his steps. We start from the point of where he had taken them off and placed into his pocket along with his keys. 15-20 feet from there in the middle of the back grassy area just off his back porch, I get strong hit and look down to shiny silver roundness!

Man I really enjoy this hobby and helping people get their priceless treasures back!!

“DIG IT ALL, SAVE SOME RINGS & BURY THE DRAMA!”
