Buried Coins Recovered – Cary!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I was contacted by a gentleman who needed help in locating some buried treasure on his property. (OK, you have my attention, tell me the rest of the story.) It turns out that he had placed some valuable coins in a 6″ diameter PVC pipe and buried the pipe vertically in the rear of his property. He said the cap on the top of the pipe was 4 or 5 inches below the surface. (So far so good, but here’s where it gets interesting.) The cap and the pipe are PVC, so I can’t pick them up with my detector. The coins by themselves would have been easy to detect, but he said that because of the length of the pipe, the coins were at least 18-24″ below the top of the pipe, making them 22-28″ below the surface. Yikes! I have a detector that can go that deep, but this is a neighborhood and the electrical interference from all the houses was considerable. After a slow scan of the area where he believed the coins were buried, I got two very faint signals on the detector and brought out my 4′ metal probe to check out these two possibilities by poking down in the ground and feeling for disturbed soil. Once the detector had given me an idea on where to probe, I was able to locate the PVC pipe fairly quickly.

The first picture is a portion of the coins that were inside the pipe. After he sent me the picture of the coins, I could see why he was so anxious to get them back!

If you have valuable items buried and can’t locate them, I can help. Contact me and we’ll figure out a plan.

Lost Hearing Aid Jonesborough, TN…Found

  • from Johnson City (Tennessee, United States)

I received a call on Christmas Day. This gentleman was out walking with his family. While walking on the path a tree branch brushed past his ear flipping his hearing aid out. They searched for it for quite awhile with no luck. After eating a great meal and watching the kids open their presents I was ready for an adventure. After searching for it for thirty minutes I finally found it. Hearing aids are very difficult to find. Given the small amount of actual metal in one the signal is very faint and small.

 

Ring lost at Ocean Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Pedro was involved in a volleyball game, when his wedding ring decided to take a sand bath. He went online and found TheRingFinders.com and contacted Curtis Cox up the coast a ways. Curtis told him to contact me (thanks Curtis!) as I am a lot closer. When I met Pedro at the beach volleyball court, another detectorist they met on the beach was already there and searching the side of the court that Pedro had been in. I started on the opposite side up against the net and made a couple of passes post to post parallel to the net. With not even one target, I figured I should probably verify the other guy had been thorough with his side. The other guy detecting was already beyond the end line of the court, so, I started on his side up against the net and made a pass there. About 3/4 of the way across, I got a nice 30 tone on my Equinox 900 and told Pedro that this is a good sound for a gold ring. Sure enough, my pin pointer zeroed in on the target and Pedro’s ring was just under the surface of the sand. A pleasure to meet you Pedro, glad you won your game, got your ring back, and thank you for the reward.

On a side note, people should be careful who they ask for help in these situations. I think in this case, the other guy detecting was probably an upstanding individual and would have happily returned the ring, but, that isn’t always the case, as I know a couple of guys that won’t return anything, or, hold it hostage. In addition, you don’t know what sort of expertise these random people have either, and you may just give up if they don’t find the item, thinking that they eliminated that area as the target zone when in reality, they just missed the target, like in this case. All the members here that I’ve worked with know how to properly grid and area, know their machine, and I’m confident that they will return your lost item. Why take a chance, when you can get a GENUINE ring finder!

 

Lost Property Markers (Irons) Found in Grosse Pointe Park Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Defining the Boundaries……

….Is something all of us have had to deal with all our lives, from childhood when our parents set boundaries and now as adults where we set boundaries on finances, who we are friends with, and how much we want to deal with any situation and so on. Defining boundaries also creates an atmosphere of mutual understanding by showing respect for ourselves and gaining the respect from people in general. When John called me, he discussed his interest in locating his property markers to help him define the boundaries of his land before he started to trim some trees. Using my magnetic locator metal detector, we did some quick measurements to get us in the area for each concealed property iron. It was quick work with the magnetic locator to reveal each iron. Now with these fine lines clearly defined, it’s up to John and each neighbor to honor that boundary.

How I helped Joe find his lost keys in Laurel Springs NJ

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

 

 

 

 

 

Last night around 9:30, I received a text message from Joe, who had been referred to me by my nephew, Jason. Joe wanted to know if I could help find his lost keys. He’d spent the entire day clearing a lot and splitting wood, only to discover he couldn’t locate his keys when it was time to leave. Luckily, he had a spare set delivered, so there was no rush. We agreed to meet the next morning around 10.

I arrived early, greeted by a steady drizzle. Prepared with my rain gear, I suited up and headed to the area where the wood was piled. Hoping to spot the key fob in the daylight, I carefully walked around the piles, but no luck. Realizing I’d need my detector, I went back to my SUV to grab it.

I began searching an area where the tall grass was matted down, marked by splinters of wood from splitting. Just two minutes in, my detector gave a strong tone. I moved some grass and leaves aside—and there they were: Joe’s keys. He hadn’t arrived yet, so he missed the quick find.

I returned to my SUV and waited for him to show up. When Joe arrived, he took me to the spot where he’d spent most of his day. We were just three feet from where I’d found the keys. As he described his activities and scanned the ground, I pulled the keys from my pocket and asked, “Do your keys look like this?”

At first, he looked puzzled, then recognition dawned. “Yes!” he said, clearly amazed. The moment he realized they were his keys was priceless—a mix of shock and relief.

It had only taken about five minutes of walking and searching to locate the keys. Without a detector, though, Joe never would’ve found them. They were pressed into the mud and hidden beneath leaves.

As a bonus, I now have access to some firewood for my fire pit—a small token of appreciation.

Lost a ring?

Don’t wait to call!

215-850-0188

The day after Christmas, I received a call that would turn into one of those moments that remind you why you do what you do. Guy had lost his gold ring – not just any ring, but one he’d worn faithfully for half a century. The story of its disappearance was painfully simple: while tending to his Christmas Day fire pit, the cold had caused the ring to slip from his pinky finger, where he’d placed it because his usual finger was swollen.

The backyard had become an accidental treasure map. Somewhere between the fire pit and the scattered woodpiles, beneath a blanket of winter leaves, lay fifty years of memories in a ring of gold and coral.

I started methodically, sweeping my metal detector along the path Guy had taken to the first woodpile. Nothing. But treasure hunting is often about patience and persistence. Moving to the second pile of firewood, my detector sang out with that sweet, promising tone that makes every searcher’s heart skip a beat.

There it was, nestled among the logs – a gleaming circle of gold that had witnessed five decades of Guy’s life. The smile that spread across his face when I held it up was awesome to see!

Guy left a review:

« Like, not even 15min and John found my ring. We just traced my afternoon steps and located the ring under a pile of wood and oak leaves. Probably never would’ve have found it on my own. John is professional and a gentleman. »

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)

Danielle was visiting her Parents in West Kelowna over the Christmas Period. Two days before Christmas, before she entered her parents house she shook her hands to get the rain off, as she did she she felt her 14k multi diamond ring come of by a tree. They all spent three days searching for it, to no avail. Dec 26th she found my services on Google, and gave me a call. I had time before dinner so I responded right away, Danielle found me on Google, however it took 45 minutes to find their location as Google was out of date. Danielle showed me the location by the tree, not sure if it bounced off the tree or not. It did bounce off and landed in the long grass around the tree, which made it an easy search for a Metal Detector. Her Happy Christmas was restored.

Gold Wedding Ring found in Machesney Park Illinois

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

I received a text message from Jeff asking if I could possibly help find his wife’s wedding ring that had been lost in their backyard about 4 months ago. Of course I agreed, we then set up a day and time that worked best for both of us to do a search. I met Jeff at his house a few days later after we both got off of work. He took me into the backyard and showed me the area that they believed that it was in. So I divided the yard in half, diagonally, and began a grid pattern from their backdoor to a large tree in the corner of the yard. On my 4th past I received a loud repeating 50 VDI signal that was « double tapping » on my DĒUS II. In my experiences, a ring on the surface or close to it will make this « double tapping » sound. I told Jeff, « This might be it right here. » I checked the snow covered grass with my pinpointer, which immediately sounded off! After a little digging with my fingers in the grass, roots, and dirt I could see a shiny circle peeking through! I said, « There it is! » And handed it to Jeff as he came walking over to me.

Another smile for the book!

Lost Hearing Aid in Safety Harbor, Fl…Found and Returned!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)

“It’s Only Lost Until I Find It!

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

Paula was walking down the outside stairs of her second floor condo in Safety Harbor when she fell down the last few steps and landed hard and face first on the sidewalk. She had not been using the handrail with her hands full and was badly injured including bruises and cuts to her face and a possible fractured collarbone. After she was helped back into her home, Paula realized that one of her hearing aids was missing as a result of the fall. After receiving medical treatment and returning to her home, Paula’s good friend Carol and a family member helped search for the hearing aid in the area where Paula landed but they were unable to find it. Carol found me through social media and contacted me the next day to see if I could help Paula find her hearing aid.

I arrived at Paula’s condo and realized that the search area was very small but did include under the stairs and several areas with shrubs including shrubs that bordered the complex’s pool fencing. I scanned Paula’s other hearing aid for a reading on my Minelab Equinox 900 detector so that I would know exactly what to look for and as I expected, the signal was very weak due to the very small amount of metal in the hearing aid. I also tested my hand held pinpointer because I quickly realized that I would have to do most of my search with it as there was very little room for my detector coil. I began my search on my hands and knees with the pinpointer in the area of shrubs near the fence because it was in the direction of Paula’s fall and also shook the branches of the shrubs just in case the hearing aid was hanging from one of them. I then searched the shrubs beside the stairs and the leafy area underneath the stairs by probing with the pinpointer but no luck. After about 15 or 20 minutes, I walked up the last several steps and looked down towards the sidewalk where Paula had landed when I noticed several red spots on the left side opposite from the area where I had searched. As it turns out, these were blood spots from Paula’s cuts where she fallen and then tried to get up. Carol and Paula believed the hearing aid to be on the right side of the steps since it was in Paula’s right ear. I began a visual and pinpointer search under the shrubs on the left side and after only about a minute I saw the hearing aid laying on the leaves. Paula was thrilled to have her relatively new hearing aid back in her ear! Paula requested that I not take a picture of her smiling face due to the cuts and bruises suffered in her fall so you have mine instead.

Paula and Carol, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find Paula’s hearing aid! It was a pleasure meeting you both!

Lost Diamond Engagement Ring Recovered in House by Ring Finder… Alexandria, Virginia Owner Celebrates!

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Barbara’s yellow gold, 1.4 carat pear shaped diamond with accent round diamonds engagement ring which « Ring Hero » Brian Rudolph helped to recover in Alexandria, Virginia home.

Barbara smiles with great happiness and relief as she holds up her beautiful yellow gold, 1.4 carat pear shaped diamond with accent round diamonds engagement ring.

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Barbara contacted me during a time of great distress because she could not find her beloved yellow gold, 1.4 carat pear shaped diamond with accent round diamonds engagement ring. She searched all over her house for many days but all of her efforts led to no avail. She remembered that she did a particular errand but then returned to the home and she was worried that maybe her ring fell off in a public environment. After nearly a week of searching, Barbara found THE RING FINDERS’ website online and learned about my ring finding service. We immediately set up a time for me to come to her Alexandria, Virginia home to do a full investigation to see if I could recover her irreplaceable keepsake.

I visited Barbara’s house twice: once on a Friday and the other day was two days later on Sunday. When I first arrived, my client gave me a very long tour of all the places where she worked and relaxed around the house. She showed me the two cars that she drove, the location where she walked across the lawn and also where all of the garbage was thrown out. There was a lot of territory to cover.

On Day 1, I was focused on metal detecting the lawn, searching some places in the living room (which included probing the couch), and lastly, searching all of the bags of trash outside. It was dark outside by the time I completed the final bag of garbage and at that point there was no recovery made. I left the house after searching for about 3.5 hours.

On Day 2, I set my aim on probing both vehicles and searching more rooms in the house. Once I concluded that the sentimental « symbol of love » that Barbara so very much cherished for many decades was not lost in either car, I made my way into the house. My client suggested that I move next into the laundry room since there was plenty of clothing to be scanned and multiple hiding places that the ring could have made its way into. However, I continued my walk straight past the laundry room and went directly into the kitchen.

I had remembered that I had asked Barbara the other day if she had been in her kitchen sometime during the day of the disappearance of her ring. She couldn’t remember specifically what she did in that space in the house, but I was still curious to check one specific area before moving on to the next room.

I asked Mrs. Katz, « Do you have a cabinet or drawer where you stuff your reusable plastic grocery bags? » She immediately responded by pointing to a narrow cabinet near the refrigerator and said, « Yes, absolutely. I throw them all in here. Why do you ask? » I went on to share with my client that I recently successfully found a men’s wedding band in a large bag hanging from the pantry door handle where the gentleman had stuffed all of his reusable grocery bags into it. The ring had slipped off of his finger and landed in the pile of plastic! I wanted to check to see if Barbara’s ring might have ended up in a similar environment.

Handful by handful, my client gave me a fistful of grocery bags to metal detect with my pinpointer. After clearing one clump of plastic, I would repeat the procedure with a fresh group of bags. After detecting forty out of the hundred items stuffed in the narrow vertical cabinet, suddenly, my client let out a shriek of excitement and exclaimed, « Brian, we found it! The ring! It just fell to the bottom of the cabinet from within the middle of the pile! You did it! Your hunch was right! My ring was in here all along! I can’t believe it! »

Barbara and I rejoiced together and the two of us were completely in disbelief! Even though I find these consistencies in similar environments while trying to solve such head scratching mysteries, it never gets old and its always beyond amazing to be a part of these kind of recoveries!

My client’s spouse came out of the bedroom and he was completely blown away by my successful endeavors. He admitted to me just like many other unbelievers have in the past, « When I was told what you do to help people find their lost rings, I didn’t think for a minute that you would solve this one! Well Brian…you proved me wrong! »
