Wyatt was tubing down the Republican River in Nebraska, a popular destination for many kayakers and tubers. He geared up for the nearly 5 mile float. Not long after the start, his tube flipped and he lost his phone. It was in a somewhat water proof pouch and quickly disappeared into the swift current of the river. He was upset and rightly so. He vigilantly kept an eye out for it the rest of the trip with no luck…………… Fast forward 20 months and that is where I come in. The Republican river is shut off during the off season and the water level drops significantly but springs still keep it going but at a minimum level. I like to treasure hunt and decided to take my metal detector and go walk the river this nice day in February. I came across his phone in about 8″ of water. I took it home, pulled the sim card and a friend who works for the service provider contacted them with my information. It was a blast being able to return to Wyatt what he thought was lost forever.

1978 Gold Class Ring Found and Returned to Owner by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter in Indiana, 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 found this ring before the snow started to fall but had to wait until I was able to return the ring to its owner.

I had just put a new « SILVER » cherry picking program on my minelab manticore and was taking it out to test it. I decided to go to one of my spots I have hammered over the years as a true test. I started to comb the area and picked out a nickel on my first hole (the program does notch in nickel signals). I continued moving on and hit another solid 25 and figured it was another nickel. I turned my plug and to my amazement it was a gold 1978 class ring from the other side of the state. The bottom part of the ring was broken off but I was able to recover the small piece from the hole as well. I examined the ring and inside I found legible initials. From there in the field I got out my phone and googled the school district. A nice lady from the school answered but told me they could not help me. I was truly puzzled and I went back to detecting.

Once I got home I tried to locate a yearbook and initially was unable to do so. I did find an alumni page are reached out to one of the admins. He said he would help me. In the meantime I continued to search and did find a yearbook (finally!). I located the person I thought it was and conducted a google search and found contact information for the person. I sent them an email and then it was time to wait. After a short time the alumni site admin. confirmed my suspicions of the potential owner. Finally I received a response and they did lose their ring and until now had been a mystery as to how and where.

Unfortunately, returning the ring in person would not be possible. The owner lives on the west coast. So, at the owner’s request, I took a trip to the post office and mailed it back. While I love the reaction an in person return brings knowing I was able to locate the owner and do the right thing in returning it was more than enough.

Campbell had gotten married just a few months earlier and as a lot of young men love to do…he enjoys sports and one of his favorites is flag football. And another thing that young married men like to do is wear their wedding ring all the time. So when I received his call about needing my help to find his lost wedding ring I knew that normally these kinds of searches can take a long time…because of having to cover such a large area. The first thing we did was to contact the park authorities to get the proper permission and the gentleman we talked to was very helpful and even offered to help us look the field over. It was a very well maintained field with short grass and it was only a matter of minutes before Campbell’s lost ring was found!

Rather than trying to rent a metal detector why not contact the best metal detecting service in Orlando and the Central Florida area and call theringfinders.com. Look in the directory for a metal detecting specialist near you and give us a chance to help you.

Lost Silver Chain, 2 Lost Gold Rings Found in House by Dowsing in Detroit Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Happy Valentines Day!..

I got a call from Derrick’s mom saying that she went and got some jewelry out of lay away that Derrick bought for himself. She wanted to surprise him. So, about a week ago she got it home and misplaced it somewhere. Meeting today Derrick thought I was searching for his mom’s lost jewelry. Mom had to go to work for a bit but recalled the jewelry was in a certain room in the house, so I started there. I chose to bait my dowsing antenna rod with silver as the chain was the most massive of the targets sought. I swept the rod left to right and right to left. The antenna locked in a certain direction in the room. Stepping a few feet over to triangulate, the rod locked again so we had a narrower area to look. Using my pin pointer metal detector, I passed it thru and around some items where the antenna rod pointed. It wasn’t long before the metal detector buzzed that something was nearby. As I reach into the clutter I’ll call it, I felt a small envelope that was heavy when I pulled it out, Derrick was thrilled but didn’t open it. I was not sure all the items were in the one envelope, so I searched again with the pin pointer and got another signal not far from the first. Reaching in again I pulled out another small envelope. I thought that this was the lost jewelry envelopes so I said to Derrick that maybe he should open them. Opening the heavy one he about fainted when he saw that it was his silver chain. Opening the second envelope revealed his 2 gold rings with a note that read: To Derrick with love, from mom!

Lost & Found: Lindsey’s Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered from Lake Conroe

Lost & Found: Lindsey’s Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered from Lake Conroe

Lindsey’s Memorial Day weekend at Lake Conroe took an unexpected turn when she lost her cherished Texas A&M class ring right off the dock behind her family’s lake house. She shared that she was trying to get onto a paddleboard when she lost her balance and slipped off into the water. As she swam back toward the dock—just a few feet away—she felt her class ring slide off her finger and sink to the sandy lake bottom, about five feet below.
Her family made several determined attempts to recover the ring, diving down and feeling along the murky lake floor, but it soon became clear the task was far more difficult than they had imagined. Lindsey said that after countless efforts and no success, she had come to terms with the loss and even ordered a replacement ring from Texas A&M.
However, fate had other plans.
During the Fourth of July weekend, Lindsey came across a post online about a Texas A&M ring I had recently recovered from Lake Conroe through Houston Metal Detecting Services. That story sparked new hope, and Lindsey immediately sent me a text message, asking if there was any chance her ring could be found.
She provided excellent details about the location and exactly how the ring was lost—information that’s often crucial in these kinds of searches. And as any Aggie would understand, it wasn’t just about the monetary value—she wanted her ring back, not a replacement.
We set plans in motion to meet on Sunday and search for her ring. As soon as I got on site, it was clear we had a great shot at success. And sure enough, after carefully searching the area she described, I was able to recover Lindsey’s original Texas A&M class ring from the sandy bottom of Lake Conroe.
As you can see from the photos, it turned out to be a great day for everyone—especially Lindsey, who now has her beloved ring back where it belongs!

The Search for Colin’s Texas A&M Class Ring: A Lake Conroe Recovery Story

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)

The Search for Colin’s Texas A&M Class Ring: A Lake Conroe Recovery Story
Colin’s Texas A&M class ring meant more to him than just a piece of jewelry. It symbolized years of hard work, dedication, and a milestone in his life that marked his college achievements. So when he lost it during an outing with friends on Lake Conroe, the frustration was palpable.
It happened on a sunny day as Colin and his friends were enjoying a day on the water. They docked the boat at a local marina, and while assisting in tying off the boat, his class ring slipped off his finger. Before he could even react, the ring plunged deep into the murky waters of Lake Conroe, disappearing into the depths where visibility was nearly nonexistent. The water was about 16 feet deep, but with zero visibility, any attempt to locate the ring seemed almost impossible.
Despite several attempts by people who tried to dive down and recover it, the darkness of the water swallowed any hope of success. The ring remained lost, and the group reluctantly gave up after trying everything they could.
When Colin contacted me about the loss, we knew it would be a difficult task. We spent the next three weeks coordinating our schedules, preparing for what would be a challenging recovery mission. Lake Conroe, known for its murky waters, would be no easy place to search for a small object like a class ring. However, Colin was determined to get his treasured possession back, and so was I.
Finally, the day arrived. We met at the marina early in the morning. Colin walked me through the area where he had lost the ring, explaining in detail the circumstances leading up to its disappearance. We discussed the previous unsuccessful attempts and agreed on a clear search strategy. I would handle the underwater side of the operation, while Colin took responsibility topside.
The lake was calm that morning, but the visibility below the surface was as bad as we had expected—zero. The dark water seemed to stretch on endlessly in every direction. Armed with my metal detector and a sense of purpose, I entered the water. The coolness of the lake water enveloped me as I slowly descended. At 16 feet, I reached the bottom and began to methodically search the area.
With each swing of the metal detector, I remained focused, knowing the importance of every pass through the silt-covered floor. The ring had to be down there somewhere.
Minutes passed. Then, as I carefully swept the detector along the lakebed, a faint but unmistakable signal rang through my headphones. I carefully shifted some debris and sand through my hand, and there it was—Colin’s Texas A&M class ring.
I surfaced, holding the ring triumphantly. Colin’s eyes lit up as I handed it to him. His smile was priceless, a combination of relief and gratitude. “I can’t believe you found it,” he said, almost in disbelief.
The recovery had been a challenge, but in the end, it was worth every moment of effort. Colin was reunited with his cherished class ring, and I was reminded once again of the importance of what we do—helping people recover precious memories, even from the darkest depths of the water.

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Wedding Ring at Hale Koa Beach…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a text from Tom who was on Hale Koa Beach as an Air Force Family was trying to find a lost Platinum & Diamonds Wedding Ring in the dry sand.  I assured Tom I could be there soon and he put me in contact with Wes who is the gentleman that lost the ring.  Wes was on vacation from Walnut Creek, California and explained he was throwing a football and the ring slipped off his finger and disappeared somewhere in the dry sand.  He told me they had been digging for awhile, where they thought it fell, but couldn’t locate the ring.  I told Wes to have everyone stop digging and to relax on the beach I would be there in about 25 minutes.  Thankfully, when I arrived there was several parking available.  As I walked down the boardwalk I heard someone yell,  » Joe we are right here. »  I looked towards the beach and the entire family was chilling on the beach, awaiting my arrival.  Wes had already marked off the area with small fish nets so I started my search in the area I saw they were digging.  First two targets were Lincoln Cents, then a small aluminum disc.  I was now out of the area previously dug and the family was starting to wonder where the ring could be.  Then a somewhat scratchy tone and after two full scoops there was Wes’s Platinum & Diamonds Ring in the scoop.  Someone must have stepped on it.  Wes immediately put the ring back on his finger and when I asked if he could remove it for a pic it was stuck.  That’s actually good so we took the pic as it was.  Vacation saved!  Aloha to Wes and his wonderful family.

Lost Rings (Bonne Terre, Missouri)

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

On February 8th I had just finished feeding my goats and came in the house and started washing dishes and realized my rings that I wear on my right hand were missing. They have been pretty lose with the cold weather but I didn’t actually believe they could slip off without me feeling it. So I began tearing the house apart with no luck. My husband came home from work on the 11th and with tears in my eyes I broke the news to him with great sorrow. I felt as though they were gone forever. My husband immediately started turning furniture upside down and checking every square inch of the house with no luck. My husband had an idea of calling a metal detector guy because he felt as though maybe the rings slipped off my finger while taking care of our goats. I was skeptical but figured why not. They started the search and just as they thought the rings were gone forever, the detector went off and my precious gems were found unharmed. I can’t explain the gratitude I feel but my tears of JOY show a lot. I’d like to thank Jeremy Roth with Ring Finders located in Washington, MO., for traveling over an hour south to help us out! Great service and an even better outcome!

 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Brenda Perez

Kaitlynn’s daughter was given her very first nice piece of jewelry as a Christmas gift and just a month later she somehow dropped it in their back yard! Kaitlynn found theringfinders.com online and sent me a text asking if I could help. There were only three and a half hours before the Super Bowl broadcast so off I went to see what I could do.

There are allot of wonderful young families in the world and this is definitely one of them! They showed me where their daughter had walked across the backyard and lost her ring and I began a tight grid search using plastic half cones to mark my progress. Fifteen minutes later I got a high silver signal that could only mean one thing and sure enough there was her lost silver ring just laying in the grass waiting to be recovered. So I called the daughter over and let her use my pin pointer to retrieve her own lost ring!

What an honor and privilege to be used by God to help this dear young family find a precious lost ring and see the joy and happiness it brought them.

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