Wedding band recovered at Asbury Park Beach

Contact:

I got a text from Raymond asking for help in locating his wedding band he lost in the surf at Asbury Park that day. I told him i’d meet him the next day at low tide to see what i could do for him. I went down and met his friend who was there with him and he showed me the area they were in the water. Raymond was with his 4 year old daughter just passed the waters edge when she fell and reaching down to grab her his left arm flew back and his ring went flying off his hand into the surf. After a bit Raymond showed up to see how things were going. I searched for about a half hour with no luck. I went up and was talking to Raymond who said he thinks he might of been alittle further to the left of where i was hunting because there was a deep drop off and he remembered thinking he hoped the ring didnt go into the deeper drop off. He pointed where he though he was and after walking into the water about 6 feet i got a perfect ring signal on the detector, and sure enough after a quick scoop of sand there was his ring in the scoop. Neither one of us could believe it. Im so glad he remembered and was able to get his ring back.

Lost Platinum Engagement Ring Found in Corn Pit in Wooster, Ohio!

  • from Wooster (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

Halloween high jinks were in full swing this past weekend in Wooster, Ohio! Kim was enjoying an unseasonably warm fall day with her family at Ramseyer Farms. The day was full of fun and treats, but Kim ended up being on the receiving end of a trick! The culprit? Corn! That’s right, not a person, it was corn…and lots of it! Kim was playing with her 2-year-old daughter in the Corn Barn (a giant corn pit, in a barn) when it happened. (For those who don’t know, a corn pit is like a sand box, except it’s filled with corn kernels!) Anyway, she was crawling through the corn towards her daughter when she felt that unmistakable feeling of a ring slipping off her finger! She immediately started foraging through the corn, but couldn’t find her platinum engagement ring! She continued searching for a while and her dad even went and purchased a metal detector to aid in the search! After a while she decided to search the internet where she found The Ringfinder’s website, which led her to me. I received the call at 5:13 pm yesterday evening. Kim explained what had happened and asked if I would be able to come out and assist. She said the staff at Ramseyer Farms was aware of the situation and that they would keep the lights on and the barn open after hours to allow us to search. The farm was closing at 7pm, so Tammy (my metal detecting partner) and I arrived at the farm around 6:50 pm and met Kim at the main entrance. We made our way back to the corn barn as she filled us in on a few more details about the event. When we got to the barn, we took off our shoes and followed Kim into the corn. She told us about where she was and what direction she was heading when she lost her ring and we got to work! We started out using our pinpointers in the general area she had been and then I decided to do a little bit bigger sweep with my detector just in case it was no longer in the same spot, as the corn barn is a huge attraction at Ramseyer Farms and, as such, it is always packed with kids scooping, digging, rummaging, running and rolling through the corn! While I swept the area, Tammy kept following Kim’s path through the corn with her pinpointer. About forty-five minutes into the search, Tammy had a hit about 6-8 inches deep in the corn, right along Kim’s path. She slowly started sweeping corn away as she worked her way down, keeping her pinpointer on the signal. And then I heard Kim gasp! She had been watching Tammy and noticed the glint right away as Tammy plucked the ring from the corn! Tammy handed the ring to a super excited Kim, we took a few photos and then we all made our way out of the corn. The staff at Ramseyer Farms was wonderful! They were super friendly and accommodating as we searched and celebrated the find, right along with us! What an adventure! Kim got her ring back, Kim’s dad found a new hobby and we got to play in the corn! All in all, a great evening! We’re so glad we were able to turn Kim’s trick into a treat! Just remember, if you visit a corn pit – don’t forget to take off your jewelry! But, if you do forget and lose something, give us a call!

Lord of the Rings

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

Jeremy, thank you so much. Backstory: this is a custom wedding band that reflects our shared love of Lord of the Rings trilogy story. We’ve read the books and watched the movies many, many times. I was doing yard work and pulling weeds. I noticed the ring was missing when I went to throw the weeds in the yard waste dumpster. I was searching through the yard waste dumpster, the trash bag I had just taken out, and crawling around the area I was doing yard work for 2 days. That’s when we found your website. You found the ring within 10 minutes or less and were a pleasure to work with. We’d recommend you to anyone who is in need of your services. Thank you!!

Lost White Gold and Diamonds Engagement & Wedding Rings at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a text from Cindy who was on vacation from Riverside , California and visiting Oahu.  While at Royal Hawaiian Beach they saw a metal detectorist in the water hunting.  Arturo, Cindy’s husband, approached him in the water and asked if a ring could be found in the water.  They told him that on Tuesday his wife Cindy lost her White Gold and Diamonds Wedding & Engagement Rings at Ulua Lagoon in Ko Olina Resort.  The detectorist ended up being a friend of mine named Mike and he told them to get a hold of me as the resort’s detectorist.  I got the text in church and contacted Cindy after we finished.  She gave me the details and a really good photo of the location lost.  When I got home from church I grabbed my gear and headed out to Ulua Lagoon.  When I got to the area there were many children playing in the water and I had to gingerly manuever around them.  Most actually got out of my way when I told them what I was doing.  There were several targets in the water.  I found a skeleton medallion and a FAITH bracelet.  Then in about thigh deep water I got a nice solid tone and in two scoops there was Cindy’s beautiful Engagement Ring in the scoop.  I marked my spot and started doing circles around the point and about three feet away I got another similar tone and after three scoops there was the Wedding Ring.  I called Arturo & Cindy  and told them of the successful hunt.  They were very appreciative and currently in Waikiki.  I told them we could meet at my home just 10 minutes from where they were. They got to enjoy a Waikiki sunset then came to my home for her ring.  Cindy told me she made peace and actually thought she would never see her ring again.  They were playing « Monkey in the Middle » while throwing a football and when Cindy attempted to catch the football her rings flew off and disappeared into the murky stirred up water.  As you can see in the pic the spirit of Aloha came through.  Aloha to Cindy & Arturo!

LOST ENGAGEMENT RING IN KELOWNA FOUND & RETURNED.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Faith was by the Shopping Centre, and was wandering around her car on the boulevard when she noticed her Engagement Ring was missing.  Devastated and not wanting to tell her fiancé, she purchased a Metal Detector to try to locate it, after 2 hours she gave up. The Detector Salesman told her if you don’t find it, call this professional on The Ringfinders. That evening her fiancé knew something was wrong, and he got the information out of her. The next day she called me, and I responded right away to her location, after her story, I checked the area she suspected with no luck. The lost item often is not in the specific location they mark, so I gridded further out on the boulevard and found the Ring, restoring happiness to the engaged couple.

Platinum wedding ring lost in bushes in Orlando, Florida…found and returned to happy owner!

Shree writes… »We’ve been married over a decade and some years ago I lost my wedding ring which made me feel sad for months.  Much later I learned about this metal detecting service but it was too late…so recently when my husband lost his wedding ring I made sure to get a professional search done, only the circumstances were much much harder.  He lost his ring in the midst of the dangerous storm, Milton here in Florida.  We thought we were well prepared for the storm but in the middle of it my husband realized he missed closing down one of the front window shutters.  He was drenched from the rain while pulling the shutter down and came up onto the porch where he shook his drenched hands to get the rain water off and alas with the strong flick of his hands…his ring went flying!   And God knows where!  It was impossible to look for the ring in that weather as every time we stepped out of the house we felt like we could be blown away.  And the following morning we searched again to no avail.

Then I found Mike online and quickly called him.  He assured me the ring had not left my campus and that felt strange to me…given the torrential rain the previous night.  But still we planned to wait and meet the day after, when the weather had settled down.  Mike is so friendly and kind and we really appreciated the unexpected seriousness of effort he was putting into the search while we had mentally given up on the find.  It was more than an hour and a half into the search on the ground and under the shrubs and bushes in our front yard where the ring was lost and we were starting to feel like we had done our bit and it was over.  But Mike’s persistence and hope was on another level!  He just kept digging and searching and…Voila!!!  There it was!  He found it stuck way down in the middle of one of our super thick Bird of Paradise plants!  I don’t think there was anyway we were ever going to be able to find it there on our own!  I wouldn’t have believed in such a service if I did not witness it’s success…BUT it works and Mike is terrific at it!  We are absolutely thrilled to have  our precious ring back!  Thank you Mike!  Abhi and Shree »

Jasneev called me in the morning about her lost cell phone. I asked when she lost it, and she told me it was the night before. I also asked where, and when she told me, the thought of a recovery was diminished. The one thing she told me was that it was still registering from the same location, so we made arrangements to meet there as soon as we could in order to beat the machines, and other detectorists to the spot.

When I got there, and met Jasneev, she took me to the area of the loss. All I could see in the area was smooth sand, telling me that the machine had already passed through the area, so I asked her to get one more signal from her phone. It was showing it was still there. I then got my detector ready, and began the search. Pass after pass, here a bottle cap, there a piece of foil; maybe even a coin or two, but no phone. She then told me she had moved to anther spot not far from where I was searching, so I began another grid. After about 6 passes, a good strong signal came through the headphones. I carefully dug, and exposed her phone. I picked it up, and held it out for her, which made her morning. It did look as though the machine had hit it going through, but it was still working. A great morning indeed.

Got a contact from Douglass. He had lost his wedding ring in the back yard of his house. He had cleaned his hands, and flicked his hand in a downward motion to free it from the water, when his ring slid off. He heard it hit the ground, but did not see it land. After a thorough search he called. I let him know I would come right away.

When I arrived, Douglass took me to where the loss occurred, and showed me what he had done. The area was not real large, but there was a lot of thick ground cover in which to lose something small like a ring. I began my search going over the area that was thought to hold the missing item, but was unable to find it. I then went further out, got a good signal, looked down, and was able to see it down in between the ground cover. I called Douglass over, and showed him where I found it, which surprised him that it had gone so far, and he was very happy to have it back on his finger. I am very happy to have been able to help him out finding something so important to him.

Grandmothers ring found at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Summerland CA

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

If you have lost your grandmother’s ring or your wedding ring call or text Santa Barbara and Ventura County’s metal detection expert Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009. Don’t wait because time, the tides, lawnmowers and even other detectorists are not on your side.

I got a call from a nice young lady named Glory who after weekend classes at Pacifica Graduate Institute was unwinding with friends and playing some volleyball in the grass when a spike sent her grandmother’s ring flying off her finger somewhere into the grass. She along with her friends had spent hours looking for it but couldn’t find it so they took to the internet and found metal detection expert Dave MacDonald and set up a time for me to come out.

I couldn’t get up there the same day so I promised Glory I would get there at sun up the next day. She was a little nervous because she needed to go back home to Berkeley but I assured her that once I found it I would promptly mail it back to her. The sun was just coming up when I arrived in the hills of Summerland and I met the security guard on campus and coordinated a grid pattern to make sure I would get my Minelab Manticore coil over the ring. After three passes I got a high hit on the manticore and I pulled out my pinpointer to verify a surface target and after pulling the grass apart there sat embedded in the grass a beautiful old 24k gold ring.

I showed the security guard the ring and we concluded it had to be the one and I took a photo of it and sent it to Glory. As we figured it was her grandmother’s ring, now on it’s way back home where it belongs.

If you too have lost a ring, necklace, pendant or bracelet do what Glory did, call or text the metal detection expert in Santa Barbara and Ventura county Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009 so we can make a plan to get your jewelry back to you. Don’t waste time trying to buy or rent a metal detector, just call the metal detection expert at 805-290-5009 so you can get back what was lost.

Clucking Success: Finding a Wedding Band in a Brooklyn Chicken Coop!

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)
Contact:

Sometimes, metal detecting takes you to unexpected places—like a chicken coop in the heart of Brooklyn! When I first got a text about a lost gold wedding band in a backyard chicken coop, I thought someone was playing a prank. But as it turns out, this was no joke. The gentleman had been tending to his chickens when his ring slipped off, disappearing into the dirt, hay and feathers.

Armed with my trusty detector and a lot of determination, I set out to find that ring.

It was discouraging, all the metal in the chicken coop walls and various sections was making my equipment less than optimal..

Navigating around curious chickens, it was definitely one of the more unusual searches I’ve been on! After carefully scanning the coop, first, I found a wrench that probably hasn’t seen sunlight for 50 years, then at the entrance of the chicken coop, technically outside of the chicken, I used my pin pointer and found the ring!

I heard that unmistakable tone—and there it was, buried in the ground, shining gold.

The look of relief on the gentleman’s face and the feeling of shaking his hand while looking in his eyes, genuinely feeling happy for him, was priceless. Besides chickens, he keeps bees! 🐝. Along with my come-out fee and reward he gave me eggs and honey! Major win for both of us!

It’s not every day you find yourself metal detecting for gold in a chicken coop, but it’s moments like these that make what I do so rewarding. Whether in sand, snow, or—apparently—chicken coops, a lost treasure can always be found!
