Lost – Men’s Gold wedding band, DeLand, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Sunday evening, I got a text from Ron. He was working in his backyard and had lost his gold wedding ring.  Since it was on his property, we agreed to meet in the morning to look for it.

I arrived at Ron’s home, where beautiful oak trees, adorned with Spanish moss, dotted the property.  Ron took me to the back of the lot and showed me an area with some planting beds adjacent to a fence and storage area.  He said he felt it fly but searched and raked to no avail.

I fired up the Minelab Manticore and started the search at the East end of the planting beds.  There were lots of targets, so I decide to walk and cover the entire area without investigating any of the hits.  As I got between the West of the planting bed and the storage area…something caught my eye!  I was looking at the twinkling of the gold ring in the sun.

This ring representing twenty-six years of marriage was a sight find!  I gave the ring to the happy owner!  God is good.

Chris and Hollie were savoring a perfect day at the beach in Ocean City, NJ. They had spent the day soaking up the warm sun, cooling off with a refreshing swim. But when Chris dove into a wave, his wedding band slipped off his finger and vanished into the churning water.
The next morning, Chris called me. Could I help him find his lost ring? I got the details and made my way to the beach, arriving just as the tide was going out. Chris and Hollie were waiting anxiously, but trying to stay positive as they got ice cream and settled in to watch me search.
The water was waist-deep and murky, with a strong current that made it hard to walk. I moved slowly and methodically, scanning the ocean floor as I went. About 25 minutes later my metal detector buzzed. I scooped down and saw the ring in the scoop!
I emerged from the water, walking back to where they were sitting. Chris and Hollie were overjoyed, their faces lighting up with relief and happiness. Finding the ring was the perfect way to end their day at the beach in Ocean City, NJ.

Lost Gold Wedding Band – Found! By Metal Detector Specialist Brian Carpenter in Pittsburgh, PA

  • 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 was contacted by Tim who had lost his gold wedding ring. He was not sure but he thought it flew off his hand in the backyard when he was throwing hay. Tim has some dogs and the backyard was getting a bit muddy so he was trying to keep the yard from turning into a mud pit. He normally uses his right hand but after having shoulder surgery he was forced to use his left. It was after he was working in the yard he noticed his ring was missing. When Tim called he was a little frustrated as he had went to a local tool rental and rented a metal detector but all it did was beep! I told Tim that was normal and I would check to see when I could come out.

I checked my scheduled and the weather and decided that I could make it the next day. I took off and let Tim know I was coming. Of course the weather had looked great but when I pulled in it started to rain. Tim showed me the yard, pretty standard with a steep incline on both sides. He was guessing it was on the flat part where he had spread most of the hay. I got to work and much to my surprise the ground sounded pretty good and I was able to use my large coil. I cleared the first part with no luck and went down to the steep incline on the right side. After a few passes I ran into the ring, I don’t know if I saw it or heard it first but there it was. I picked it up and it was a beautiful ring and big! I walked up the hill and told Tim it was pretty ugly down there just before I handed him his ring. He could not believe I had found it and gave me a big hug. Tim then told me when I did not find it on the flat his heart had sunk and he thought it was gone. Funny thing is that thought had never crossed my mind yet as I has a lot more area to cover. I was glad to have found it and we thanked St. Anthony as we had both asked for some divine intervention. Tim and I talked for quite a while afterwards and his wife was also kind enough to thank me as well. Tim explained to me he reached out to his jeweler and the replacement cost for the ring was double or maybe even more. More importantly he told me the diamonds in the ring were extra special as they were from both his and his wife’s families and even if he had to have the ring replaced he did not anymore special diamonds to put into it. Thankfully he did not have to worry about that. It was awesome to meet another kind and extremely generous client and reunite him with his special wedding ring.

Lost Ring in Haddon Twp NJ Found by Dave Milsted

Eric reached out to me via email. He’d been in a rush to take down his Christmas decorations before an incoming snowstorm and, in the process, had lost his yellow gold wedding ring. We arranged to meet after his workday ended.

Upon arrival, Eric showed me the area where he’d been working. The search area, blanketed by about three inches of snow, wasn’t very large. He mentioned he needed to pick up his daughter from school but would return in about ten minutes.

As soon as Eric and his wife left, I began my search. Just a minute later, my detector gave a strong signal in the gold range. I brushed away the snow, and there it was—Eric’s gleaming yellow-gold wedding ring. I snapped a few photos and waited for their return.

When I saw them approaching, I pretended to still be searching. Eric’s wife got out of the car first, and I quietly asked her to wait a moment. Eric followed and said, « I guess you haven’t had any luck. » I asked if he recalled shaking his hands or doing anything that might have flung the ring beyond the immediate area. He didn’t. While he scanned the lawn, I revealed the ring from my gloved hand. His wife noticed first, and her surprised smile was wonderful to see. Eric’s reaction was even better.

They were both overjoyed. His wife was particularly thrilled, exclaiming, « This is great! Now I can finally get that dining room carpet and not have to buy him a new ring! »

I love my hobby!

14K Yellow Gold Diamond Ring Lost, Found and Returned Oak Island NC

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

This adventure started on the evening of February 28th, around 6 p.m. when I received the following text message, “I lost my diamond ring in the yard today. I was raking leaves and cutting plants….could u help me?? I live in Oak Island NC.” I called the number attached to the text and didn’t get an answer, so I replied to her text saying, “Yes, call (included my number). Jim.” Within a couple of minutes, she called, and I got additional details. I told her I could be there in an hour, which she agreed to and sent me her address.

When I arrived, I met Teresa, and she showed me the areas she suspected her ring could be. I turned on my Equinox 800 and went to work.  I scanned 3 or 4 piles of leaves, a couple of other areas she was in and there was no ring. I originally thought this would be an easy search, sure fooled me!!! She asked if I could check her concrete porch. I advised her that more than likely there was rebar in the concrete, which there was. We started doing a visual search. She mentioned that she had repotted some plants, so I used my pin pointer to check the planters. While I was checking one planter, Teresa picked up another planter to move to closer to me. Suddenly, she said “here it is!” When she had picked up the planter, it tilted enough to cause the ring to come out of hiding and hit the floor. She was so excited and relieved.

Teresa – Thank you so much for trusting me to help find your lost treasure.

Jim

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This Gold Cross & Necklace hunt began when I got a call from Jose who is from Columbia and was vacationing on Oahu.  While enjoying the waters of Paradise Cove Beach, Jose  had taken his cross and necklce off for safe keeping and placed it on a towel.  Unbeknownst to the family members someone used the towel and when Jose came out of the water the cross & necklace were no where to be found.  He found « Metal Detector services » on Google and gave me a call.  I was wrapping up my work day, so I told Jose I would run home, grab my gear and head on over in about an hour.  They waited for me to arrive and when I got there Jose and his lovely wife met me on the beach to show me where they thought the cross & necklace would be.  Jose drew a box in the sand and I started the grid search.  A few minor trash targets, then a nice solid 18 on the Manticore and in one scoop there was the beautiful necklace glistening in the scoop.  Jose and his family were overjoyed as I was in the last line of the grid and they were worried.  I always try hard to find Jesus and today we did.  Aloha to Jose and his family!

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered in Lutz FL

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Item recovered October 18, 2024. Joyce reached out to me to assist locate a ring that her husband lost in the yard while cleaning up after hurricane Milton made landfall near Tampa. She was referred to me by a neighbor, Kim, whom I had assisted locating an earring in her back yard.

Kim was passing by their house and saw her neighbors looking for something in the grass. When they mentioned the lost ring, Kim gave Joyce my number to help with their search.

I set out in the afternoon, and made my way to their house in Lutz. When I arrived, the yard was cleaned up. Joyce and her husband showed me the area where they were working when the ring was lost.

The area was in the landscaping at the front corner of their house. The area had plant coverage that was approximately 1-2 feet high with wispy blades, which made it difficult to get into with my metal detector. I did my best, searching around every plant and trying not to cause damage to these plants as I moved about. I detected the area 2-3 times, but didn’t find anything.

Next, I detected the bag of debris that was picked up in that area thinking perhaps the ring fell off in the bag. Nothing was found, so I started searching the grassy area surrounding the landscaping. No luck!

I was starting to feel like a failure and asked if they could show me the path they took to walk to and from the area where they were working. After a 5-10 steps I detected a strong signal and the ring was located!

The area where the ring was found was where they had initially emptied the bag of debris to search for the ring. It must have been in the bag and had fallen out when they searched the contents for the ring.

Lost Gold Wedding Ring Recovered in Lutz Florida

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Item recovered November 29, 2024. Justin called about a missing ring he lost the night before around his house. The weather had become cooler in the evenings and he was enjoying a fire pit in his back yard with friends. He got up to gather some additional wood for the fire – small branches and twigs that had fallen from trees around his property in a recent storm.

When I arrived, Justin had two likely places where the ring would be. The first spot was near the sidewalk in the front yard of his property where the debris was placed for collection. The second was at the base of a tree in his back yard.

We started detecting the spot in his front yard first. Going over the area, I was getting a good sound, but the item was located below the surface and likely wouldn’t be his missing ring.

After a few minutes, we ruled that spot out and moved to the base of the tree in his back yard. Almost immediately I got a familiar signal that sounded like a ring. I moved a couple small twigs and immediately recognized the yellow gold ring in the grass.

Men’s Gold Ring Recovered in Seffner Florida

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)
Contact:

 

Item recovered September 22, 2024. Venkata reached out to me by text to see if I could help locate a

lost ring somewhere on a Cricket field. He was sitting on the bleachers preparing for the game and took his ring off his finge

r to put into his pocket. However, after the game was over, he could not locate the ring.

His position took him over a large portion of the cricket field, so I set off to search the entire area. I walked straight lines back and forth over the large area where he had been. I worked slowly and while the grass was short, rings can easily hide below the blades of grass.

It took me about one hour and 15 minutes to cover the area where he had been and there was very little metal on the field itself. We decided to go back to the metal bleachers where he was sitting and we both visually inspected the area underneath the seats since the metal detectors wouldn’t be effective in this location.

No ring was found under the bleachers, so I got the detector going again and started detecting the area surrounding the bleachers. There were many metal targets in this area, including the typical bottle caps and small aluminum bits we often find at parks and beaches.

One particular sound gave me pause and upon inspection it was Venkata’s missing ring! The ring had fallen below the blades of grass and was hidden from plain view.

Venkata was thrilled to have his ring back!

Gold Wedding Ring Found in Odessa, FL

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Item recovered August 26, 2024. Chelsea reached out for help locating her ring after losing it during a water balloon fight in a field adjacent to a church. While helping as a camp counselor, Chelsea forgot to remove the ring and felt it fly off her hand as she was throwing water balloons. She had been back to the location to search, but didn’t have any luck locating the lost ring.

I arrived after work and waited for one of our classic Florida summertime thunderstorms to wind down before setting off into the field. Chelsea gave me the approximate area where she believed the ring was lost and I started a grid pattern in the area. 45 minutes later, there were some small metal items located, but no ring.

I changed directions by 90 degrees and went over the area a second time with no luck. About 90 minutes of searching and it was starting to get dark. I decided to expand the search area and continued until I hit a sweet sounding signal. It was the missing ring and Chelsea was overwhelmed with joy that her ring had been found!

The ring was located nearly 30-40 yards from where I was initially directed. It was a good lesson learned to never give up when at first you don’t succeed!
