Lost White Gold Ring Found In Livonia Michigan

The Garden Of Weeden

The pictured gentleman is known in the neighborhood for having a green thumb. About a month ago while him and his wife were cleaning up and weeding a garden for a homebound, elderly neighbor his ring came off. Thru much outside influence, from an unreliable source, temptation won over and the wrong metal detector was chosen. After much trowel and error searching with nothing produced they felt re-entry into the garden wasn’t mint to be. When we talked today I was all ears and offered much encouragemint. Keeping the convo upbeet, I said I can dig it, just romaine calm, it was no big dill and that I’ve helped lots of people who’ve bean there. On site and after setting up my MXT I said let’s turnip the beet. Scanning in a grid pattern over the soft ground the detector was silent for about 5 min. then I got a familiar signal and meter read about 1″ deep.
Pushing the garrett carrot into the soil like I was putting down roots I got a vibe, and scraping the soil aside revealed this simply radishing, chunky white gold ring! Waving him over I said I need you to weed this out. As he looked down at the ring he exclaimed Amaizeing! We high fived and yelled…. Kale Yea! After a few pics he said thanks for taking the thyme to help him cultivate his ring, beeting seemingly unbeetable odds and squashing his downbeet. He said if I was a fruit I’d be one fineapple. I said I yam what I yam but now it’s time to beet it, it’s party thyme, peas out!

Newlywed Carrie was spending the last part of a vacation with her in-laws in a Surf City beach house.  She had given her rings to her new mother-in-law before swimming.  The rings were placed in a rear pocket.  It is believed wedding band slipped out of the pocket when a phone was pulled out for pictures.  Emerald Isle Metal Detecting was called that same day.  When I arrived, I was very glad they called me quickly and knew the general area the ring most likely would have been lost.  My metal detector, a Minelab CTX-3030 locked in on a strong 12-12 signal display and I was able to gently raise her ring from the soft sand of the beach.  Her husbands first words were « That’s amazing! »

Lost Ring Found at Boat Launch

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Sometimes the journey is what matters. Shane called me about his wedding ring, lost 8 days after his 10th anniversary. He was loading his boat back on the trailer. While winding the winch, he felt the ring go and he was sure it fell into the murky water. After searching for close to an hour, he was forced to give up as he had his 6 year old twins with him.

While searching for ideas on how to find a lost ring, he came across the ring finders and my bio. We talked for half an hour and came up with an elaborate plan on what we would do when we got there. Starting with the detector and finishing with using a wet vac to suck up the gravel from under the corrugated concrete.

When we arrived at the lau

 

nch after a 90+ minute drive, we hopped out. His first comment was how much lower the water was and how much clearer it was.  He and I walked down the ramp and started to visually look for it. About 1 minute in, Shane bends down and picks up his ring. High fives. He has found his custom made rose and white gold ring..

The next 45 minutes were spent trying to learn how the simple metal detector he had purchased earlier worked. The end result….it doesn’t.

Thanks Shane for the opportunity to make you smile!!

Topsail Beach Lost Rings Found With Metal Detector

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

Chase was relaxing at Topsail Beach, NC.  When it was time to leave his group packed up the gear and headed back to the house.  It was then he realized he had removed his rings for safe keeping.  Later that day his father called Emerald Isle Metal Detecting.  I was preoccupied so I messaged a nearby friend to see if he would help.  Because of a Midnight tide Justin made plans for a late night hunt the very day the rings were lost.  Thankfully, Chase and his father remembered the general area they had set up and this made for a much shorter search and find.   After Justin found the 1st ring, he was able to locate the 2nd ring about 10 feet away.

Family Fun Day Results With Wedding Ring Lost On Emerald Isle Beach

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

Jason and his wife spent four hours on Emerald Isle Beach enjoying a great September day.  Body surfing the ocean, throwing football and playing in the sand. 

Upon returning to their car Jason noticed his wedding ring was missing.  That evening, his wife called Emerald Isle Metal Detecting and arrangements were made to search the following day.  I brought Justin to help search the beach.  After searching for a few minutes, I decided a larger coil would be better in the wet sand so I headed to the truck.  Upon my return I see Justin walking towards me and I knew it was either he had equipment problems or found the lost ring.  I was very pleased he had found the ring in minutes of the beginning of his search.  The wife and kids were there to accept the ring and we were very thankful and the kids were very polite from the start!   If only all searches went this well!

Lost Diamond Engagement Ring, Virginia…FOUND!

Rob Ellis: Metal Detecting Expert… Call/text/email, (703)-598-1435, Rob.Ellis@TheRingFinders.com

September 27th, 2020: Found a beautiful engagement ring deep in a Virginia forest while dodging angry yellow jackets!

Devon and Gabby were hiking in a forest in Virginia when Devon accidently dropped her ring. Although they saw the ring drop to the ground, it seemed to magically vanish. They searched the forest floor for several hours and couldn’t find it. Not the kind of people to give up, they purchased a metal detector and returned to the spot and searched for another two hours.

Frustrated, they turned to the internet and found me in a Google search on The Ring Finders https://theringfinders.com/Rob.Ellis/. We met the following day to look for the ring. Accompanied by their spirited puppy “River”, we had a beautiful hike of about 0.8 miles to the drop site. Along the way we passed a nest of yellow jackets in a log which a bear had just ripped open. Both the ladies were stung, but I escaped unscathed. I don’t know why since I resemble a bear much more than either of them!

It was 5 hours of travel for me, but it was nothing compared to the many hours of persistence and optimism of Devon and Gabby.

Once we set-up, it took less than a minute to locate and pull the ring out of the detritus. It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to use my experience as a detectorist and help wonderful people like Devon and Gabby.

Devon and Gabby

I want to thank some other people, without whom we would not have been able to conduct the search. However due to the sensitive nature of the area, they must remain un-named. You three know who you are, and without you, this happy story would never have happened.

Texas Aggie Ring returned to owner after Guadalupe River recovery in Hunt, Texas.

  • from Kerrville (Texas, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from a Texas Aggie that he lost his ring in the Guadalupe River near Hunt, Texas. Being that the Guadalupe is a spring-fed river and it nearing the end of September, I arranged a search before the water got too cold (no wetsuits). Shane (my son and searching partner) and I arrived at the location and met Rick. He explained that he was standing in the river and threw a stick across the river for his dog to fetch. When he did, his 1981 Aggie ring came off his finger at the same time! He pointed us to where he was standing and gave a pretty good idea of which direction he threw the stick. After searching the river (up to our necks at times) for about 1.5 hours with the Garrett AT Pro metal detector and eliminating several good target sounds, a great ring tone sounded in my Grey Ghost earphones. Shane dove down and when he came up the ring was in his hand! Whoop! Rick was excited and very appreciative of the return of his Aggie ring. If you lose your jewelry or valuables call a member of the TheRingFinders.com as soon as possible! In the Kerrville or Fredericksburg area contact me.

Lost Platinum Diamond Stud Earring Found in The Grass in St Clair Shores MI

What’s All The BUZZ About?

I talked briefly this morning with this attractive young lady but our phone connection was bad all I got was she was out in the yard catching up with her friend and sunning herself when a bee kept buzzing around her and a piece of jewelry was lost. I texted for the address and a time we could meet. When I got there I asked what’s all the buzz about? That got her to smile.
While swatting at the bee she clipped her ear and out came one of her earrings that she received for Christmas last year.
Getting a read from the matching one I now had the info I needed. Searching carefully there were similar items below ground that came in at the same or approx. numbers as the earring. Closing in on the available search area we looked at each other and without words we all could sense the tension in the air wondering if the earring would be found. I moved the metal chair out of the detector’s way and I got a very solid signal. Reaching down into the grass revealed this beautiful platinum and diamond stud earring! I waved them over and I pointed where it was. She leaned over, pulled it from the grass and exclaimed ….you found it! Lots of exclamations of excitement, high fives and dancing in place followed!
Upon leaving I said this is my kind of buzz, save the gossip for the bees.

Gold Necklace Found on Recreation Field in Vermont

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

9/24/20
2020 has been an unusual year for searches. The first six months were very quiet, maybe because of the pandemic. But lately I have been super busy, some weeks having three or four different searches. I have helped many people find septic tanks, property markers, even arrows and military dog tags. There were a few heartbreaking unsuccessful searches, but the search tonight helps offset those others. Again I should remind everyone that if you lose Jewelry in a public place, call me immediately!!!

I got a call from a local college student whose beautiful gold cross and chain had been lost on a recreation field. He was desperate to get it back because 16 years ago, when he was 5, his grandfather had given it to him. Before going out on the field he asked his friend to hold onto it so he wouldn’t lose it. His friend, due to an injury, was taking it easy, just walking around the field and occasionally doing some stretches. Somehow the necklace came up missing, but they knew it was somewhere out on the field. They all searched for a long time with no luck.

As soon as I got out of work I hit the road to head on an evening search which I knew could be a long search and late night! Four of them helped me search by using flashlights, but the weeds and grass was long and thick. After a couple hours they all had to leave to go do homework. I told him that I would stay for a couple more hours and then come back the next night and weekend, if necessary. The ground was full of signals, I probably dropped to my knees nearly 200 times investigating signals. Finally, an hour after they left, I got a good signal and found it all balled up and deep in the grass where they never would’ve seen it. What a great night’s ending! I made him and his friend who had lost it very happy and relieved.

I love this hobby! Please click on my name above for more stories and contact information.

Ring Found at Oval Beach, Saugatuck, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Santosh, a computer programmer originally from Nepal, and his wife Ericka, originally from Spain, have been married for about 10 years and live in the Chicago area.  They were spending a few days in Saugatuck and Santosh lost his wedding band on the beach in yesterday’s gorgeous weather.  He had the ring in his pocket and when they were leaving the ring was missing.   I received his email late last night and I called him this morning.  We agreed to meet at the beach in an hour so they could show me the specific area in which to look.  I arrived a bit before they did and just randomly started searching the beach with my metal detector.  When I saw them drive in I headed toward them swinging the detector in front of me.  But halfway to their car I got a good signal that I had to check out.  One dig and I had a ring in the scoop.  Santosh and Erika came over, and we talked for awhile about what they were doing in Saugatuck and how he lost his ring.  When I asked him if he could show me where he thought he lost it, he said it was not far from where we are standing now.  So I reached into my pouch and asked him if this ring I had just dug up looked like his ring.  I only wish I had their reactions on video-you could see the anxiety melt from them.  They were heading home today with good memories of this vacation.
