Swinging Low, Swinging High….

….was the rhythmic motion Tom observed as his daughter was having fun on the swing set. As he was tightening some bolts on the set, she soared high thru the air. Leaning a bit too far back gazing at the bright blue sky she started to slip off the swing backwards. It was then Tom dropped his tools and rushed over to catch her and luckily, he brought her down safely. As nighttime was approaching, he gathered his tools and daughter and headed into the house. Settling in for a cozy night he noticed his family heirloom ring was missing. A short search in the dark brought no luck. I began a grid search around the swing set. No signals came thru my metal detector headphones. I decided to search a bit out aways from the set and got a clear signal. Brushing a few leaves from the grass surface revealed his beautiful ring pushed down into the ground like someone walked on it. Texting him to come out to where I was, he was bewildered to know it was out that far from the swing set. Extremely happy that his ring was found, his daughter was excited to continue having a great time on her swing with dad by her side!

Lost Gold w/Diamond Stud Earring Found in Washington Township Michigan

Vampires in the Garden…..

….their monsters that lurk in your neighborhood that terrify you when your outside and want to suck your blood. That’s what happened to Robin as she was swarmed by mosquitos while pulling the last of her vegetables and weeds from the garden. Swatting at them she knocked her stud earring off into the grass. She searched with a toy type metal detector with no luck and enduring more bites from those pesky monsters, she reached out to me for help. With the mention of little vampires, I took a few garlic capsules and hit the road. Arriving on site I started a grid search with my metal detector. Searching in the bright light, I was not plagued by any mosquitos, but could tell that the woods next to the property was where they were probably hiding out. Metal detecting thru a small amount of house construction materials from long ago I finally got a great signal close to where the earring stud should be on the detector meter. Looking carefully thru the deep grass revealed Robin’s gold diamond stud earring! Texting that I found something pointy in the grass that doesn’t sting had her running out the side door. In total amazement she reached out and put the earring back into her ear! Thrilled that no extra garlic was needed she was thankful her earring was found and that no more little vampires will be haunting her Halloween!

Vancouver Ring Finder Chris Turner- Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP  Anytime   778-838-3463

I received a text message from a young lady who said her husband lost his gold wedding band (only married three months) in the backyard.
She went on to say she posted it on a Facebook group and a local person came to help but couldn’t  find it. They found me online and reached out to see if I could help.

I showed up to the backyard and met he young man, heard the story of the ring, how it was gifted to him by his father on his wedding day. It was his father’s ring he could not wear it because he was allergic to the gold. You can imagine how sick he felt by losing it. He was a little freaked out that they were going to have Thanksgiving next weekend at his dad’s house.

I asked my typical questions, found out where the person did the searching and after no ring on my search I knew I had to start moving a pile of lumber that was stacked in a work area net to the patio.

After spending 20 minutes, moving some 2×4’s I saw the ring laying there in its glory!

 

 

 

 

I have the best job in the world, I love helping people more than anything I’ve ever done in my lifetime. I get to make people smile, I get to hear their stories of what their ring/lost items mean to them and how happy it makes them feel when I find it.

Wedding Ring Lost On Emerald Isle Beach Saved Just In Time Before Trip Home

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Bill was taking one last swim in the Atlantic Ocean before heading back to Colorado.  Before swimming, he took off his gold & platinum wedding band and rolled it up in his shirt and placed a towel over it on the path to the beach house.  Upon returning, he noticed it was missing and his wife contacted me to help.  I headed there as soon as possible.  They were in the process of checking out of the rented beach house and needed to catch a flight back home.  Bill lead me to the area that was hand searched and I switched on my machine and made my 1st pass.  When I turned to begin a second trail, I received a very loud tone beneath the sand.  The pinpointer did it’s job and Bill’s ring was lifted up from the dry sand.  I hope they were able to make their flight back in time as it was a stressing day already.

Ring Found in Backyard, Lake Odessa, MI.

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)

Back in July, 2023, Devin and Garrett were playing with a Frisbee when she noticed her ring was missing. Gregg and I went out there the first time and spent a couple of hours searching for the ring with no luck. Today, we met Garrett out there and he had marked a few areas with flags that he thought the ring could be in. In a few minutes I got an iffy signal and decided I’d better dig it to see what it was. I used a screwdriver and with the first attempt this diamond stone popped up and stared me in the face. I signaled Gregg and we called Garrett over who was using his own metal detector. I hid the ring in my hand and ran my hand over the coil on his metal detector and then opened my hand for the big surprise. A beautiful rose gold ring with a diamond on top. Garrett went to the house to tell everybody about the find. We gathered the family together for a few pictures and bathed in the smiles and laughter of finding the ring.

Lost Silver Ring Recovered & Returned Wrightsville Beach NC

This lost silver ring was recovered and returned at Wrightsville Beach NC.

I was out metal detecting on the beach on Sunday 9/24/2023 when I was approached by a nice woman who explained she lost a very special ring. She explained the details of how she lost it and a general area. I handed her a business card and explained that I am a member of theringfinders and that we help people recover there lost jewelry and other items with the use of a metal detector. I agreed to help her if could but it was not going to be a easy search . I told her that it was like looking for a needle in a hay stack since she lost it at the waters edge in the waves and the tide was going out which could have pulled and pushed the ring anywhere. But still I agreed to help if I could. I searched for awhile with no luck. Eventually she and her family had to leave and I told her I would keep searching and if the ring turned up I would get it back to her since we had already exchanged contact info when she sent me a picture of her ring. Later that night when the tide was lower I was still searching and decided to expand my search area since the tide and current could have moved it. I was North of the area where she lost it when I got a strong clear signal in the water. I recovered the signal and it was her ring. I texted her a picture of the ring and called her.  The next day on Monday 9/25/2023 I was able to return the ring and I was very happy to help. I asked why the ring was so special and she explained it was a ring her and her husband had picked out and bought it together while on a trip.

Lost Rose Gold w/Sapphire Ring Found Underwater in the Clinton River, Shelby Twp. Michigan

Luv On the Rocks…..

….With just 2 months into their engagement, Derrick’s fiancée was excited to show her new ring to some lady friends. With all the stress of planning a wedding, she was excited to spend an evening with them over dinner, dancing and catching up. As the evening progressed, the ladies moved out to part of the dance floor deck that was adjoining the Clinton River. Sometime during a few fast tunes with arms flying wildly, high fiving and hugs she remembered her ring flying off and hitting something metal. The next day her and Derrick combed the ground area with no luck. When I arrived, the only place left to search was in the water. Lowering myself down onto some slippery rocks placed against a metal headwall, I was knee deep in the cloudy water. Searching with my metal detector I could only get so close to the headwall. The current was strong in this location, and I would not be able to venture out too much further without safety equipment. Scanning the metal detector out to almost waist deep water I got a good signal. Peering into the water with my snorkel mask revealed her ring resting on the edge of a flat rock with sticky muck just inches away! Derrick lowered a rope to me slacked out enough so I could go upstream a bit. Letting the current push my arm back I was able to reach down, see the ring thru my snorkel mask and grab it off the rock. A risky but successful recovery! Holding the ring up, Derrick was overpowered with energy and excitement! Upon reaching higher solid ground, we fist bumped, and both admired the ring! Not only was it a stunning rose gold band but the gemstone was a very pale yet beautifully cut Sapphire! Now with the symbol of their engagement off the rocks, they are ready to rock and roll into a beautiful life together!

Lost necklace at the beach, Point Pleasant Beach NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

  Amanda sent me a text later in the evening, asking about my services. Amanda and her husband Dave were at the beach, where she had removed her NJ State Trooper medallion necklace and placed it in the beach bag for safe keeping. She was extremely heartbroken, as she wore this every single day for over 20 plus years.  After they returned home it was missing, so they backtracked every step with no luck. They also raked the entire area of the beach where they had set up their chairs and towels for the day. The only possible thing that could have happened was it came out during the day when Dave removed the car keys, and mistakenly fell into the sand. Amanda didn’t want me to come out late at night, but no way would I leave the necklace sit in the sand over night, and possibly disappear with the tide, or risk it being found by an suspecting beach comber. I met Dave at the beach within 30 min. and had Amanda’s  necklace in the scoop just a short while later. Dave was in total disbelief I found it so fast, especially after they had done an extensive search prior to my arrival.

Ring Found in Corn Pit, Richland, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:
Gregg Larabel got a call but could not make it so he gave it to me.
I met Ken at Gull Meadow Farms and his wife Justine had lost her 10 year old wedding ring in the corn pit. Upon seeing the new corn pit I noticed the sheet metal walls surrounding the pit could cause a problem with the metal detector and I was right. Ken showed me an area of about 15ft x 15ft that Justine had been playing with the kids and then noticed her ring missing. I gave Ken my pinpointer and put him to work checking the signals I received as I gridded the area. He retrieved a few coins, a pull tab, a token and a mans tungsten wedding ring(turned that into the office) but not his wife’s ring and we were getting concerned. I figured it had to be next to the sheet metal wall and the metal detector went crazy when getting close to the wall. Ken was using the pinpointer close to the wall and then he started to push the corn away from the wall and I would check the pile of corn as he pushed it away. In a few minutes I got that sweet sound of gold on the metal detector and told Ken this had to be it. He checked the spot and there was Justine’s ring. A few high 5’s, some hurrahs from crowd, some picture taking and Ken was off to give Justine the good news.
