Received a text from Richard today about him having lost his gold wedding band in their backyard while doing some spring cleaning. The good news is that he saw the ring flying off his finger as he was moving a log. The bad news was that he mowed the tall grass in hope of better seeing the ring. Everything turn out fine as the ring was found in less than a minute. Another happy camper. Life is good.
Chase and his friend Kevin were a couple of my first Ring Finder customers back in 2015 when they both lost their wedding rings on the same day, in the same location! Sunday morning, Chase texts me saying, “I did it again.” This time on a private beach on Lake Michigan near South Haven. Searching The Ring Finders site, he saw I was still listed. Instead of contacting the Ring Finder for the South Haven area (sorry Dave 😊) Chase contacted me again. He had put sunscreen on and stepped into the ice cold water to rinse off his hands and thought that was probably when he’d lost it but didn’t actually feel it come off so it could also be on the beach somewhere. Hoping I didn’t have to step into the ice cold Lake MI water, I did a quick search on shore where he thought he and the family were the day before. No such luck. I scanned the shoreline 5’ or so into the water for about 5 minutes; that was about all I could handle, the water was PAINFULLY cold. No ring. I searched the beach some more while my feet thawed in the warm sand and tried again a few feet further out in the water. Still no ring. I was pretty sure at that point it wasn’t in the water so I searched at little further north of where I’d started, hoping I didn’t have to step back into the ice cold Lake MI water. Bingo! Another happy face for my Book of Smiles 😃
Uriel was playing in an impromptu volleyball game when his ring flew off while hitting the ball. He thought it landed somewhere close by, but, after looking and searching, it didn’t show up. An online search brought Uriel and his friend to TheRingFinders.com site. His friend called me, and Uriel called Curtis Cox further north. Since I was a lot closer, I got the nod. As usual, the traffic on a Memorial weekend Saturday was a nightmare. I’m glad my wife came with me to circle around with the car as I went out to meet Uriel and search for his ring. I searched the inside boundaries of the court with only one target……a full Busch beer can! They can celebrate with that later! With nothing else in the small court, I started just outside of it. Got a nice hit on the first pass, and it was his ring. Total search time was only a few minutes. Drive time to the beach and back home was over 2 hours for just a 26 mile round trip! A pleasure to meet you Uriel, and thank you for the reward.
Got a call from some folks, who had a wedding coming up in just a couple of days. They lost the bride-to-be ring just days before the planned event. She had taken the ring off , and stashed it for safe-keeping, in their belongings that they’d set at their beach blanket area. When they went to leave, somehow it got lost in the sand. They looked up Lost Ring + Carmel beach, etc… on the web. 
Found this Ring Finders directory listing, and we hooked up to look for it. Found the ring in 5 minutes. Right in their suspected foot-path zone.
Thanx for letting me post the re-union story here. Glad to have helped. Thanx for the tip. Congratz on the upcoming wedding !
Alex and Cali contacted me asking if I could find Alex wedding ring that he lost in the water at Pensacola Beach. They were afraid of losing it and wanted me to come that night, I said I couldn’t come that night but would meet them at first light the next morning. Both Alex and Cali are Internet Tech Remote workers who do their work where ever they and their computer are. They had recently moved to Pensacola from San Diego. Alex pointed out about where he lost his ring and I started a search. It turned out to be a fairly easy search. After about 4 passes and digging several pop tops and a nickel I found his ring. They were both extremely grateful and I could tell that their worry was relieved. They are really nice people and I am glad I could help.
