Ashley’s Sentimental Family Heirloom Ring Found by Member of THE RING FINDERS, Brian Rudolph

Ashley Excitedly Shows Off Her 14 Karat White and Yellow Gold with Diamonds Family Heirloom Ring Recovered by Brian Rudolph After Missing for Over a Week!

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

I received a call from a young lady named Ashley who lost her 14 karat white and yellow gold diamond family heirloom ring. It had been missing outside for over a week. She and her girlfriend were hanging out on the Ashley’s side lawn of her Washington DC row house when her beloved keepsake that had been passed down the family line from her grandfather, grandmother, mother and then to Ashley went missing somewhere on the property. Ashley shared with me that she was playing with the ring in her hand when it slipped from between her fingers and landed somewhere on the ground. The two friends searched for hours on their hands and knees with much confidence that they would eventually find the precious jewel. However, as it turned out, all of their efforts led to no avail.

Sometime later that evening, as Ashley was searching online for answers to her problem, she came across the elite international directory of metal detecting specialists called THE RING FINDERS. She did not realize that such people existed and immediately contacted me to inquire about my services. I told Ashley that I am constantly doing search and recovery operations and that I was happy to help her in any way possible. She decided to go forward with my help the following day and I could not wait to try to solve this particular mystery.

The next morning, I headed out for Washington DC to an area called Mount Pleasant. Once I arrived, Ashley guided me over to a very narrow area of grass where she had been sitting on a café-type table with her friend over a week earlier. The section of real estate was so small that I couldn’t believe that Ashley had not already found her precious heirloom.

Next, my client reenacted the whole event and I personally couldn’t figure out why Ashley and her friend were unable to locate the piece of gold and diamonds. It seemed so simple. My best guess at the time was that the family heirloom must have flung in an unlikely direction, far enough away from the table so that the two ladies just didn’t look outside the box far enough. Yet, the young lady said that she didn’t remember doing anything with her hand that would cause the ring to be hurled off her finger. I did ask if the ladies had been drinking out at that table and Ashley did share openly that she had a couple of beers. Sometimes in dealing with ring searches like this one, two beers could make a difference depending on how the alcohol affected that particular individual. In some situations, the client remembers a certain amount of alcohol consumed when the actual amount was really a whole lot more. You never can tell and so when you can’t easily find the item, your mind starts to wonder how much of the story was left out due to being under the influence.

From the description that Ashley had given to me over the phone, I was perplexed by the whole mystery because this particular ring was fairly large in size. It would not have disappeared that easily. Ashley described the ring as being a men’s style band that was wide and heavy. It was mainly white gold with yellow gold accents along the rims and within its inner band. There were stars all around it with little diamonds in the middle of the stars. It really sounded quite lovely! This ring meant the world to Ashley and it broke her heart that something as simple as playing with it on her finger could end up causing the ring to disappear into seemingly thin air!

The Search Site Where Detectorist Rudolph Recovered the Precious Ring

After I got the rundown about where Ashley sat and what had taken place, I began my search using my metal detector throughout the area where Ashley and her friend were sitting. There was mainly dirt with no grass in that search zone where the table was located. Therefore, it was pretty obvious where the eye would not have missed it. I checked a garden bed behind where she was sitting as well as locations along the side of the house. Nothing of importance was found and as time marched on I was getting more curious as to what could have happened with this ring. One of the last places I detected was closer to the wrought iron fence that overlooked the side of the property towards the Washington DC street. I moved a metal frame out of the way (which was the base for a hammock) and again I swung my coil over the ground and yet still nothing turned up.

I tried everything to recover this ring and still there were no substantial targets found except a bottle cap or two, a pull tab from a can and some other miscellaneous items discovered during the search. I even got down on my hands and knees and used my handheld detector in several places in order to work around metal infested sections of the property where I could not use my regular machine. Once again, I came away with no ring.

When nothing turned up, I stopped my search for a moment and rethought the whole event. I recounted in my head what Ashley’s recollection was of what happened a week earlier.  When I couldn’t find the heirloom anywhere, I realized that perhaps I was thinking too far outside of the box of possibilities. I also adjusted my detector which may not have been set properly for this type of ring search. Also, I thought that perhaps it was possible that I had missed the ring right from under my nose when I had been detecting at the beginning of the search near where the table was situated. I then resumed the investigation with a fresh perspective and a focused attack plan.

My new strategy was to metal detect over and around the same patches of dirt where I had initially began my search. I started scanning the area about three feet away from where the table originally sat.  Almost immediately I hit a fairly good signal with the exception of a scratchy tone that made the target appear to be more iron based rather than a precious metal. I really didn’t think the object could have been the ring because I was looking for a surface find, not an item completely buried below the ground.

Though I was pretty certain that the target below was not what I was looking for, it truly got me curious as to what this object actually was and so I started to carefully dig the object up with my hand digger. Just as I brought the chunky piece of metal out of the ground, the mystery began to be unraveled little by little! I caught a glimpse of a smooth rounded shape, then I saw stars engraved into the side of the object. Next, I observed some sparkles coming from what appeared to be a men’s ring! Finally, as I cleared off the rest of the dirt from the silver-like halo, there before me was the very culprit that I had been searching for for the past hour or so! It had been completely buried in the ground! I concluded that because it was completely dark outside at the time of the ring’s disappearance, Ashley must have gotten up out of her chair and had accidentally stepped on the ring. This caused it to completely disappear beneath the soft dirt where the eye would not have had a chance to spot even a glimpse of the piece of metal! Ashley’s simple account of her fidgeting with the ring without any force to cause the ring to go very far from the table, perfectly matched up with where I actually found the heirloom!

It all made perfect sense once I extracted the handsome band from below the dirt! I then realized where my obstacles existed in dealing with finding this piece of jewelry. First, my detector was incorrectly set at the time. Secondly, the ring was buried on a particular angle which made it more difficult to accurately assess the iron-like scratchiness sound that I was hearing in my headphones coming from the target. Thirdly, I wasn’t anticipating the possibility that the ring could have been fully pushed down into the ground where no metal was exposed at all! I learned a valuable lesson (even as a seasoned metal detectorist). Though I have had several searches where the item was recently lost and then found below the earth due to a shoe or foot that had pushed the jewelry down into the ground, I have at least been able to still see a slight “halo” of the ring peeking through. This particular search was definitely a first for me!

I was so happy for Ashley and I couldn’t wait to do the reveal! When I surprised her I could see her countenance light up with an expression of happiness and also great relief! Her beloved family heirloom had returned to her finger once more and she was so grateful that I could help solve this simple but yet seemingly more complicated mystery!

I truly love what I do for people like Ashley and returning rings and other cherished items is such a fulfilling and thrilling experience for me every time!

Lost thrown ring, Orlando, Florida…..found and mailed to owner!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:




This young couple was enjoying a night on the town and decided to call an Uber to help them get safely back to their hotel. Their ride dropped them off a few hundred yards from their hotel and as they walked they talked!! I am not exactly sure what the topic of conversation was but I do know that during their walk along the quiet street Mr. John Doe got very upset and took off his wedding ring and with a back handed throw sent his ring sailing into the street and the ping could be heard and then silence!

It didn’t take long for Mr John Doe to realize the error of his way and later that evening he returned with his phone and tried desperately to find his ring. But after a couple of hours of searching the street, the grass and even in the bushes he decided to look online for some help and typed in « Metal Detecting Service Orlando »! The first result was « Theringfinders.com » and as he checked out the « Directory » he noticed my name and all the successful recoveries and decided to give me a call. So we met later that day and « John » showed me where he thought he was when he threw his ring. At first I thought that it would be a fairly easy search but an hour and a half later I was beginning to have second thoughts. I expanded the search area by 30 feet on either side and still no ring. It was getting late and « John » was planning on starting their drive north that same day…so I assured him that I would come back later in the week to look some more. He was very happy to hear that and then we parted ways.

The next weekend I returned and decided to look even further along the street, searching the bushes and the 8 foot grass strip along the street. At one point I was a good 45 yards away from the area where « John » said he threw his ring and while I was swinging my detector along the curb and over onto the grass, I glanced out onto the street and low and behold there was the young man’s ring…just laying in the street. I could not believe my eyes and was so, so thankful to see it just sitting there untouched and not a scratch on it. I made a quick little video with my phone and sent it to the owner and he was thrilled that I actually found it! And a couple of days later it was mailed off to « John » and so the story continues!

Lost your ring, or something valuable? Call or text me ASAP!

Metal Detecting Lost Platinum Wedding Band in Grass…Found at Arlington, Virginia Park

Mark’s Beloved Platinum Wedding Band Recovered by Member of THE RING FINDERS Brian Rudolph at Arlington Virginia Park

Mark Excitedly Holding Up His Sentimental Keepsake After Detectorist Rudolph Returns the Wedding Ring to the Happy Owner!

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

I received a call from a gentleman named Mark who had lost his wedding band at Fort C.F. Smith Park in Arlington, Virginia the night before he contacted me. He said he was with his wife Padma, their daughter, and some friends enjoying a dinner picnic on a blanket celebrating the Hindu festival of lights called Diwali. This is one of the major festivals celebrated by not only Hindus, but also Jains and Sikhs. The festival usually lasts five days and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika.

Just as the family was about to leave the park, Mark realized that his beloved platinum wedding band was missing from his finger. It was ironic because he had been thinking earlier on during their social time on the blanket just how careful he needed to be with his ring because he noticed how loose it was. Unfortunately, during the next hour or so of searching in the dark with phone flashlights, neither Mark nor his wife Padma or any of the others with them could find the missing sentimental keepsake.

Mark and his wife left the park empty-handed and drove home with the plan of returning the next morning to continue their search. They also ordered a metal detector that would be arriving in the next day or two. If Mark could not find the band, he would return for a third visit with the detector in order to scan more of the grass.

Sometime that same night before the couple headed to bed, Mark decided that perhaps utilizing a professional metal detectorist in the Arlington, Virginia area would help better his chances for recovering the lost keepsake. That was about the time when Mark discovered the elite international metal detectorist directory called THE RING FINDERS. Like most, he was not aware that such a directory existed and this was his best opportunity to call upon an expert in the field of finding lost rings. I was contacted at that point and immediately we scheduled for me to conduct a search the following day.

As the sun was rising in the east the next morning, I started my drive to Fort C.F. Smith Park in Arlington, Virginia. I couldn’t wait to start searching for the platinum piece! Mark gave me information as to where he and his group were sitting on the grass. When I arrived, we had a video conference call so that the gentleman could guide me around and show me where they were parked, the places where his family walked and played and most importantly – the locations where everyone was picnicking.

Mark shared with me a few important details regarding not only where he moved about, but also the fact that he could have lost the ring while playing with his daughter. He put her on his back a few times and twirled her around on the grass. He also told me that he had collected the trash from the picnic area and placed the bags alongside the trash can because it was completely full with garbage. He was pretty certain that the bags would still be there in the morning when I arrived. Thankfully, Mark was correct – all of the trash that he had collected the night before was still in the bag resting beside the park’s garbage can.

Once I got completely oriented, I started metal detecting on and around the parking lot. I wanted to make sure that the most vulnerable areas where people could eyeball a ring would be scanned over first. When nothing turned up, I searched around the grass near where Mark and Padma parked their car. Next, I went through their bag of trash to make certain that the loose fitting band didn’t end up inside with the throwaways. Still, I did not find the cherished piece of jewelry.

After exhausting all of my efforts in the areas that I mentioned above, I was quite confident that unless the ring had ended up on the parking lot concrete and was picked up by someone, the wedding band most likely slipped off of Mark’s finger somewhere on the grassy area where they ate or played. That was my final section of the park that needed to be searched and most likely where the ring got lost.

So, I started my grid lines on the grass from the main park building that was set back a bit from the rest of the lawn, all the way over to a huge old tree that was located more to the center of the estate grounds. In minutes, I would be detecting over the exact spot where the group had been picnicking on their blanket.

During my first few grid line passes I did get a few decent targets to analyze, but nothing good enough to be a surface find. I kept at it until perhaps I was half way across my fifth grid line or so (approximately fifteen feet away from the giant tree), when all of a sudden I got the perfect signal popping on my machine! There was a certain skipping tone that sounded off in my headphones and I was quite certain that I had found what I had been commissioned to recover. I knelt down on the grass and with my handheld detector, I carefully scanned that section of grass where the target was first heard. Suddenly, there it was! Hiding under the many blades of grass, I discovered the shiny platinum wedding ring! There it was all along! Just feet from where Mark, Padma and their daughter hung out to celebrate Diwali with their friends, I discovered that very special, irreplaceable keepsake!

I could not have been more happy for Mark! It was such a gratifying experience to check out all of the possible places where the ring may have ended up, and then to find it in the last possible section of real estate in that park – it was exhilarating!

Because I was there at the park without my client, I set up another video conference with Mark and it was then that I had some fun surprising him with the fantastic news! He could not have been more happy to find out that I was able to successfully recover the lost ring! He said that he was additionally excited to return the metal detector that was expected to arrive sometime in the early afternoon that same day!

When I finished up on the phone with Mark, I packed up my gear and headed towards my vehicle. The whole way back to Maryland was just a wonderful experience reflecting on how successful the morning had ended up! I believe it was later that day that I had the opportunity of personally returning the ring to Mark. We shook hands, took some pictures together and then parted ways once and for all. He could not stop thanking me and was so appreciative of what I was able to accomplish at the park! My client was beyond grateful that I was able to preserve such a special story that was reflective of that very moment when Padma placed the platinum “halo” upon her husband-to-be’s finger on their very special wedding day many years earlier!

Lost Diamond Engagement Ring in Midway: Found

Contact:

What an adventure! As I was crawling into bed last night, I received a text regarding a lost engagement ring in Midway, Utah at the very popular Ice Castle. Jason found my page while searching for a metal detector to rent and quickly reached out. His good friends (Rachel and Lance) had just got engaged a few hours before while they were here visiting from Florida. The newly engaged couple along with Jason and his wife Lindsey decided to go to the Ice Castle to get some fun pictures and celebrate the engagement. Nearing the end of their time at the Ice Castle, Rachel realized that her brand new diamond engagement ring was missing from her finger. The ring was a beautiful diamond ring with a platinum band. They tried looking for it for a couple hours and at one point had several other people using their flashlights on their phones to comb the area. I can’t imagine the range of emotions going through their minds as they were scheduled to leave the next day (Today) for home. To go from proposing to losing the ring had to be tough!

After talking with Jason, I gathered my gear and made the 40 minute drive to Midway. I arrived around 10:30pm, talked with Rachel and Lance about where they had been. Fortunately the pictures they took helped as those where the moments Rachel took her gloves off to take pictures throughout the night. I started detecting the area as the maintenance crew was setting up. After about 30 minutes, I came across a signal just barely outside the search area. Lance was the only one with me at the time so as I pulled the ring from the snow, he quickly grabbed it and ran back to where Rachel was searching. He dropped to one knee for the 2nd time that day and presented Rachel once again with the ring asking her to marry him! As you can tell by their smiles, it was an awesome way to end the night! Congrats to Rachel and Lance on the engagement & big thanks to Jason for reaching out!

Lost Gold Diamond Stud Earring in Annapolis, Maryland…Found

Anne’s Beautiful 1 Carat Diamond Stud Earring Found by THE RING FINDER’S Member Brian Rudolph

Anne, Bill and Stella Celebrating the Recovery of Anne’s Beloved Sentimental Keepsake!

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

I received a text from a woman named Anne who I had the pleasure of finding 2 lost rings for her at the beach in Ocean City, Maryland about a year and a half earlier.
Anne and her husband Bill were in the process of moving from their temporary home to their newly built place (which was in its final stage of being completed). Because there were contractors still working in the house, Anne and Bill decided it would be wise to secure their valuables over at the rental home until the work at their new home was completed.

Bill bundled up a bunch of jewelry and other things and searched for some kind of container to place the valuables in during the transport of the items. Because there was so little in the new house, the only thing Bill could find to place the jewelry in was their daughter’s wooden dollhouse that was in her bedroom.

The dollhouse had a number of doors, one on each side of the wooden box. Each door had a separate key assigned to it. Bill opened up some of the doors and locked the family’s jewels inside those compartments (at least Bill thought all of the doors were secured). Along with the dollhouse, Anne’s husband grabbed several other necessities, including a cooler. Then, he walked his two armfuls of stuff to his truck and then returned inside the freshly painted new home to grab some more important items to take to the temporary Annapolis, Maryland rental house.

After Bill arrived back at the rental house with the truck load of things, he emptied the vehicle and laid all of the cargo on the living room floor as well as on top of a coffee table next to the sofa. Sometime later that day, Anne went to retrieve the contents from the dollhouse where all of the keepsakes were placed. She accounted for everything except one very special piece of jewelry – a 14 karat white gold 1 carat diamond stud earring which her aunt gifted her with some years back. There was only one earring in the dollhouse! The matching one had completely disappeared!

Anne was very concerned as to what had happened to the earring and she looked everywhere on the floor of the house as well as in the truck with the hope of finding the little guy.  Again, she returned back to the dollhouse where she searched inside the compartments one more time to see if maybe the jewelry had ended up in a crack or crevice somewhere in the wood of the toy. Unfortunately, all of her efforts led to no avail. The stud could not be recovered.

Anne went to Bill and shared that the earring was nowhere to be found and that’s when her husband began searching everywhere including the new house just in case it fell out of the dollhouse during transport. He had remembered that he was holding a lot of things in his hands and the dollhouse was tipped on an angle. Therefore, he thought that maybe the earring could have fallen out of the box if perhaps one of the doors was not completely locked. He wasn’t sure.

Next, Bill got out his metal detector (which his wife bought for him over the holidays the year before all because he was inspired by my recovery work when I rescued Anne’s two rings at the beach) and tried to find the diamond over by the new house. He searched all along the front path, as well as near the entrance of the rental house, but sadly, he too came up empty-handed.

It was at that point that the couple did some thinking and they remembered how I had helped the family recover the two missing rings in Ocean City, Maryland sometime back. They wondered if I could assist them once again with solving the mystery as to where this family heirloom had disappeared to since I was so successful during their initial call for help. I spoke with the couple on the phone and I shared with them how delighted I was to help them with this new project.

The next morning I headed out to Annapolis, Maryland to meet up with Bill in the driveway of his rental house. I first wanted to search the dollhouse, the truck, the front walkway and the living room of the rental. If I could not find the earring in any of these places, I would head over to the new property and metal detect the pathway leading up to the house.

It was wonderful to see Bill again. The last time I saw him was on the hot sand as he was taking in the sun rays on the beautiful Ocean City, Maryland beach! Once we caught up with what was going on in each of our lives, I asked Bill if I could first inspect the dollhouse. He went into his place and returned with the wooden box. He showed me how he locked the jewelry up inside the compartments, as well as the particular open door that he wasn’t sure if it had ever been fully locked or not.

I took out my endoscope (which is a long snake-like electronic device that has a video lens at the end of it) so I could get an idea as to whether or not there was any open spaces within the dollhouse where the earring may have ended up in. I did see one particular object that was in a gap in one of the compartments, but I could not conclude that the item was in fact a stud diamond earring. When I was convinced enough that the heirloom was nowhere inside the dollhouse, I moved to the next search area which was the truck.

Once I had access to the vehicle, I placed my endoscope in every corner and crevice of the truck, but the diamond did not show up anywhere. I made sure that I looked in the car seat as well as inside the backseats but still I came up with nothing. I was confident at that point that I had not missed the piece of jewelry inside the truck.

My next targeted area would be the grass located near the driveway, as well as detecting along the front path leading to the front door of the house. I got out my metal detector and began searching all of those areas until I concluded that the white gold stud was not in that vicinity, as well.

After I put my metal detector away, I had no other choice but to search the living room of the rental property. I thought, ‘Perhaps the diamond fell out of the dollhouse and landed somewhere on the wood floor or the carpeted area inside the place.’ I got my headlamp out again, along with my endoscope and other gear, and then followed Bill into his temporary home where he led me into the living room just to the left of the foyer.

I was really hoping that I would find the missing diamond stud earring on the floor, around the couch or under its cushions, but I kept striking out! I even looked inside blankets and other items that were taken from the new house over to the rental and everything checked out clean.

This was about the time when I called over to Bill (who was in the other room) in order to do some more brainstorming together. I asked him some more questions and I just was not satisfied yet with leaving the rental property to go over to the new house to start searching the grounds. Something just did not add up with this whole situation.

Once I got all of the answers that I needed from Bill, I told him that I wanted to re-examine the dollhouse once more. Half jokingly he said to me, “Well, if you think there is still a slight chance that the earring is in the dollhouse, I will be happy to run over it with my truck so you can check it out”. I laughed and told the helpful fellow that there was no need for that and I would re-inspect the box over by the couch. We laughed.

Stella, the couple’s firstborn child who I had met previously on the beach a year and a half earlier, made her appearance as she came down the stairs to greet me. I almost didn’t recognize her with how much she grew. The cutie wanted to hang out with me and search for the missing item along side her old beach buddy. You see, when I was in Ocean City, Maryland searching for the two missing rings in the sand, I had Stella join me in the search and I allowed her to take each ring that I recovered over to her mom every time I found one. We both had a lot of fun that day on the beach!

Once I was handed the dollhouse from Bill, I placed it on top of the coffee table right in front of the couch where Stella sat with me and I began to check it out once more. First, I opened up the doors and did a quick visual search just to see if I could have missed any places in the slits that were in each section of the toy. I couldn’t spot anything loose in any of those gaps so I used my endoscope to take another close look internally where the slits exposed some kind wiring beneath the wood structure. It was during that part of my investigation that the endoscope picked up the same object that was the mysterious piece that I had detected with the scope when I first looked in the slits outside by the truck. It did not look like a diamond or even the backing of an earring attached to the post. But it did have some silver-like resemblances to what part of an earring looked like. That certainly got me a bit more curious than my initial look-over.

Whatever that particular object was that was seemingly jammed in that very small section of the dollhouse clearly could not be identified with my endoscope. Nor would I be able to use any kind of tool to pry the mystery object from the slit where my device came across it. The item was jammed too far into the open space and the path that I was dealing with was way too narrow to use my endoscope along with some kind of tweezers to extract the target. So, as Stella was still knelt down beside me patiently waiting to see some magical results, I decided to take a very primitive approach in trying to discover what that mystery item was. I first closed up all of the doors and locked them all up with the individual keys that were assigned to each of the compartments. Next, I took my fist like it was some kind of human hammer and knocked it against the wooden toy several times. I hoped that the created vibrations would knock the target loose from within the narrow space and perhaps cause the mystery object to finally be revealed. I then reopened the door that corresponded with the small gap that I had been investigating and just as I swung the little dollhouse door back to its open position, I beheld before me most unexpected surprise! Lying on the floor of that little hidden compartment was one of the most beautiful white gold and diamond stud earrings I had ever seen! I found it! The earring was in the dollhouse the entire time! It had been wedged so deep inside the vertical slit assigned to that one compartment that neither the naked eye or even the endoscope could track and identify what that mysterious object was! All it took was a good smack upside the head of that cute wooden dollhouse to loosen the piece of jewelry from that chamber and reveal the special little guy to my very own eyes! I couldn’t believe it! I was so happy to have recovered the priceless heirloom from the toy!

Stella’s Dollhouse Where Item Recovery Specialist Rudolph Discovered the 14 Karat White Gold 1 Carat Diamond Stud Earring that Had Mysteriously Gone Missing!

Because I wanted to make it a surprise, I carefully removed the earring from the compartment without Stella noticing the jewel. Then, I called Bill over and did the great reveal! His wife Anne was upstairs the whole time taking care of her newborn baby while the search had been going on downstairs. So, unfortunately I was not able to include Anne in the big surprise. However, Bill’s incredible over-the-top reaction along with Stella’s shock and excitement was so amazing that it truly compensated for his other half’s absence at the grand reveal!

Next, the two family members rushed upstairs to share the good news with Anne! Moments later, the young lady came downstairs with her beautiful new born baby and thanked me over and over again for such a successful recovery of her cherished family heirloom! I was so happy for her own happiness and relief which she was experiencing at that moment! The whole house lit up with much joy and excitement!

As it turned out, the earring had never left the dollhouse from the initial moment when Bill placed all the jewelry inside that particular compartment! It had been in there the entire time! However, with all of the shaking and flipping, the little guy got stuck inside one of the slits and became trapped in such a way that no tool could help identify it! It was after I checked all of the areas where it could possibly have dropped (other than searching the front path at the new house where I was going to go next) that I began to get bothered by the fact that I never did identify what that silver-like object was when I first inspected the box. I felt pressed to re-check the dollhouse once more just to make certain that I wasn’t missing it! And boy am I glad that I did!

What a wonderful recovery and a terrific search story that will live on in this beloved family for years to come! Not only did I recover two rings for them a year and a half earlier, but in meeting up with the family once again I was able to find a third item that was also so very precious to Anne as was her diamond wedding band and engagement ring!

I drove away from their rental home feeling so overjoyed with excitement for this family’s new found happiness! As I made my way back home, I continued to give thanks to God for helping me assist these very special people find their extremely special and precious keepsake! What an incredible m time that was! What a fantastic mystery I solved!

Lost Gold and Diamond Ring, Palm Harbor, Fl. …Found!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)
Contact:

 

Steve Thomas

Dunedin Ring Finder 

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

I received a call from Miti who was referred to me through the Ring Finders website by a local metal detector store owner. She explained to me that her mother who was visiting from India was throwing some food to a deer who had approached a fence that separated Miti’s yard from the adjacent woods when her beautiful gold ring flew from her finger into the high weeds and brush. Miti’s husband Rachit met me when I arrived and showed me the area where they believe the ring had landed which was within about five feet of the fence. I crossed over the short wire fence and began to press my detector coil down into the thick weeds because it was very difficult to swing it back and forth. After about ten minutes of searching I rang up a 16-17 on my Equinox 600 which was within the range I was looking for, pushed the tall weeds aside with my gloved hand, and uncovered the beautiful gold ring! I held the ring up for Rachit to see and he had a big smile on his face. After I took several photos of the ring where I found it, I returned the ring to Rachit who in turn gave it to Miti. As Miti’s mother had returned to India the day before without her precious ring, this was a very emotional return so I simply took a photo of the ring on Miti’s hand and respected their right to privacy.

Miti and Rachit, thank you for contacting the Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to return this beautiful ring to you. Thank you for the generous reward as well!

Ring lost at Coronado found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Gabby and her boyfriend were here in town visiting and spent the afternoon at the beach in Coronado. After watching the sunset, they started walking off a sand dune and toward the street. Gabby made a sweeping motion with her hand and her gold pinky ring flew off and into the soft sand. They looked for a while and realized they were going to need help locating the ring. A quick internet search brought her to TheRingFinders.com website and my contact information. I soon met them at the location and got the story on how the ring was lost and it’s probable location. I started a grid search and found tons of signals in the expected range of her gold ring, but, all these signal were turning out to be junk. After not finding the ring initially, I asked for the most likely area to start and changed methods. I then started an expanding circle around that spot and within a few minutes, I had Gabby’s ring in my scoop. A pleasure meeting you and thanks for the reward.
