Lost Ring Found Eagle Mountain Lake Fort Worth, TX

  • from Fort Worth (Texas, United States)

Received a call from Anthony on Fathers Day Sunday, he had lost his gold wedding band with heirloom diamonds while throwing football in about 41/2 feet of water. We went out Monday and searched for 5 hours with no luck. Temperatures were 103. We were using a Garrett detector and a Garrett pin pointer. At 41/2 feet deep it was very difficult scanning the bottom. I was scanning with the coil and my son would go under to scan the bottom with the pinpointer while Anthony would hold him down with his foot. This was very challenging. We went back on Tuesday and searched for 7 hours. I gave up at about 6:30 and my son kept searching. At about 7:15 he found it using only the pin pointer. He must have gone under water hundreds of times in those 12 hours. Wow I couldn’t believe it and neither could Anthony. Anthony and my son were all smiles when I came down to the beach. This is one for the book of smiles for sure. Thank you Henry Jr. for your help and determination, Thank You Anthony for the experience, and Thank You for the Reward!!!

 

Lost Gold & Diamond Wedding & Engagement Rings at Lanikai Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)


This ring find began when I got a text from Kate who was on vacation from Los Angeles, California with her husband Ryan. The text said after hours of desperation she found my profile on the Ring Finders and decided to text me. She wasn’t sure I could help so I gave here a call. Kate told me that she had put her rings in her short pocket then wrapped them in a towel before entering the water at Lanikai Beach. It wasn’t until later that day at Waimanalo Beach that she reached in the short pocket to retrieve them and the rings were gone. She figured they had to of fallen out back at Lanikai and when they returned they were nowhere to be found. Lanikai is heavily detected so I asked if they could meet at my house in a few hours and take one car to the beach as parking is nonexistent. I didn’t want another detectorist to find the rings. They agreed and we met and headed to Lanikai. Ryan dropped Kate & I at the beach access and went to find parking. Kate took me to the location on the beach after a little hesitation on the location she was sure we were in the correct spot. Thankfully no one was in the grid she drew in the sand for me. As I started the search I found a piece of foil and then a corona bottle cap. I got my hopes up as another detectorist would have pulled those. Then a moment later I got a double beep and looked down at the sand. There peeking up from the sand was a sparkling diamond. I looked over at Kate as I grabbed the ring she came over and was so elated and full of joy. She said I got the best one. I said no there is another target and I handed her the bottle cap. She yelled that’s not my ring…I said, No there is another target in the sand. However, it took two scoops to recover the Yellow Gold Cartier Love Ring Wedding Band. Now Kate was over the moon with joy. We walked along the beach to get back to wherever Ryan might have found parking discussing how lucky no one spotted the diamond. As we turned down the beach access path Ryan was at the other end and I gave him a thumbs up. I think he was astonished how quickly we recovered Kate’s rings. They both agreed they could now enjoy the rest of their vacation without the lost rings hanging over their heads. I meet the most wonderful people during these recoveries. Aloha to Kate & Ryan!

Massive Platinum Ring Lost in Lake Conroe, found and returned by Houston Metal Detecting Services

Massive Platinum Ring Lost in Kae Conroe, Texas

I was contacted by Dan who was looking for someone to help him find his custom-made platinum ring in 4 feet of water in Lake Conroe. Dan reported he was at the lake with friends enjoying the water when his ring slipped of his finger. Dan said they had pulled the boat into a cover with a nice sandy beach and were enjoying the cool water on the hot 95-degree day.

Dan said while splashing around in the water his large platinum ring slid off his finger and dropped down into about 4′ of water. Dan said the bottom was a nice sandy bottom and he immediately dove down to find the ring. Dan said he and several of his friends search for hours with no luck finding his lost ring. Dan said he returned several days later with an underwater metal detector and was still unsuccessful at finding his lost ring.

As luck would have it, Dan’s wife found a post on Facebook about another ring recovery we had worked on Lake Conroe a few weeks earlier. Dan said his wife placed the call and arrangements were made to me Dan at Lake Conroe.

I placed a call to my business partner Carl to confirm he would be available to assist in this open water recovery, and we set a date and time for Lake Conroe. Carl and I made the trip to Lake Conroe a day later and as one can see from the photos below we were successful and finding the missing ring.

Another great day!

Lost rings found and returned Ft Myers Beach, FL

  • from Marco Island (Florida, United States)

Got a call from a nice young lady that reported losing several rings while changing just before entering the water at sunset, of which one was a gold and diamond engagement band.  I dropped everything and able to quickly get on site and with her help scoured the area, in the dark, and voila about 2 hours later they were safely back on her fingers where they belong.  Remember the sooner the better, for it’s only lost until you call.Found diamond ring ft myers beach

Ring found in Marina, CA

  • from Monterey (California, United States)

Got a call from a nice lady who had been volunteering at cleanup for her Church landscape.   She suspected that her ring had come off, while bagging up all the trimmings, and must be in one of the many hefty bags of landscape debris.   We dumped them back out, spread them out, and checked the contents one-by-one with my metal detector.  Eventually the hidden/lost ring surfaced.  Another satisfied customer.

Dallas, Tx – the Aggie Ring Disappears

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

 
Rec’d a call from Mr. Garcia requesting our services to hunt for a most valuable possession…his Texas Aggie ring. (Anyone from Texas knows how much those rings mean to their owners!)   Mr. Garcia had been moving out of his current residence to move to another city so locating this ring was imperative to say the least. He picked up a broken pair of sunglasses and threw them sidearm across the yard, when he did he saw his beloved Aggie Ring go flying.  He had spent Friday evening (3 hrs), Saturday afternoon (2 hrs) and again Sunday, another 3 hrs but that important ring was no where to be found! We arrived with our Garrett metal detectors, Pinpointers and a can-do attitude and stayed in the Texas heat to help as best we could.  We detected grass, huge bushes and even areas where we felt it might have gotten kicked or raked over to, but, nada, nothing, it was still lost.  Mr. Garcia had no doubt whatsoever where he saw it bounce across his yard and knew it absolutely HAD to be there, somewhere. We decided to re-search the areas beneath the huge bushes, on hands and knees with only our Pinpointers and low and behold….found it!!!  Amazingly enough it was found under the roots of one of the largest bushes.  How it traveled to where it was found is beyond imagination but…when one method doesn’t work determination proves there’s always another.

Caddo Lake Lost Ring Mishap on a Kayak

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

     

Drove  out to Caddo Lake for an individual to look for two very special rings. She is a nature photographer by trade (& a very good one) and had taken her rings off and placed them in the fold of her lap/shirt while in the kayak to get a pic of a bird.  Excited about the pic she continued to kayak around the cove snapping pictures and when it was time to head back in she paddled to the spot where she entered the lake.  Feeling the solid ground beneath the kayak she stood up to exit the craft and her rings plopped in the murky water.  In her panic to recover the rings she placed her camera equipment on shore and tried to feel around beneath the water to no avail. In the span of just a few hours she had purchased two different types of metal detectors and even tried to shovel clumps of Muddy Muck   from the edge of the lake.  However, a park ranger did not see the humor in that, made her stop and told her to call someone professional but that she was not to dig again.  She called us.  Due to the metal garbage in the lake we had to first remove all things that set off our detectors and then proceed to concentrate on the jewelry specified sounds.  One of her rings belonged to her mother (who recently passed away) and the other was her engagement ring.  After a couple hours searching thru the mud and the muck We found one beautiful ring which had belong to her mother.  The engagement ring is still elusive and we will have to travel back to continue the search another day.

Property Marker Search in Audubon NJ – Dave Milsted

John emailed me asking if I could locate property markers. I said that I have in the past. We set up a search on Saturday morning. He sent me a copy of his survey that was done more than 30 years ago. 

When I arrived we walked the property. The two in the front yard shouldn’t be an issue, but the two in the back yard will be much harder as there is a chain-link fence & metal poles in the area.

I got to work. The 2 front yard markers were found within 15 minutes. I did not find the two in the backyard. In the area of both markers are telephone poles running electric lines. The markers could have been removed or displaced. The fence was also troubling as I had to use my pinpointer to search. 

John was very happy that I found two of the 4 markers. 

I love my hobby!!

Lost White Gold Diamond Stud Earring Found in River Rouge Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

DADS ROCK…….

….Even though anyone can be a father, it takes a special kind of person to be a dad. When Rico is asked what’s the best part of being a dad is, the journey or the destination, he always answered it’s being in the company of his family. On that note, his wife and children presented him with a pair of diamond stud gold earrings this afternoon for fathers day in the presence of family and friends at an outdoor gathering. Totally taken by surprise he quickly put them on and began to enjoy the gorgeous day, BBQ, socializing and yard games. Early this afternoon after taking a seat to relax he reached up and noticed one of the earrings was missing. Upon standing and making the announcement, all the dad jokes, conversations and the laughter of children went silent as the mood turned somber. On site we moved all the metal chairs and tables out of the way. Taking a metal detector reading from the other earring stud I knew what number to look for on the detector meter. I started to grid search over the ground and got lots of junk metal signals. Closing in on where Rico had been I got a nice repeatable signal and the earring stud came out of hiding! Shaking his hand saying happy dad’s day he said thank you for rescuing it! It’s my pleasure was my reply and by the way, your family makes great BBQ and sides!

Lake Lewisville, Tx New High School Ring in the lake 😔

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from a young lady who was almost in tears that needed our help in finding her newly acquired 2022 high school graduation ring that unknowingly came off while swimming in Lake Lewisville. Since it was already at the end of the day but close enough to go view the area we met her about 7:00pm.  After accessing the beach area and the size of the area she had been swimming in we knew how to tackle this problem first thing the next morning.  After gridding off the search area we began to hunt; luckily enough it was little more than chest high in some areas but very murky.  It took about 2 hours, along with avoiding other swimmers who came to enjoy the day, but she now has her beautiful ring back on her finger.
