Lost Grandmothers ring found in East Providence RI.
It was late afternoon when I received a message from a very upset Allison. She had lost her grandmother’s ring while playing with her dog in the snow at a local tennis park. At some point, she removed her gloves, and the ring fell off into the snow. She didn’t know where the ring fell off. Allison and her wife tried to find the ring but didn’t have any luck. They even bought a metal detector and couldn’t find it. Allison then turned to the internet to see if someone could help her find her grandmother’s ring. That’s when she found TheRingFinders website and contacted me. I responded that I would help and was on my way. When I arrived at the park, it was dark. I started my search with Allison holding a flashlight. I walked about 20 feet, and the first target I hit was the ring. She was very happy to have this family heirloom back.
Gold and Diamond Wedding Band Lost in Snow, Found and Returned in Paoli, PA
Vijay found me via The Ring Finders Directory. He texted me looking for help in locating his lost gold and diamond wedding band. We spoke on the phone and he told me he was on an early morning walk around his neighborhood in Paoli, PA admiring the snow that was really coming down hard. He went to take a picture with his phone and while reaching for the phone he felt his ring fall off his finger straight down into the 8 or more inches of snow at his feet. At the time he didn’t have gloves on so he went home to get gloves so he could dig around and find the ring but by the time he got back…uh oh…the plow came through. I live about 15-20 minutes from Paoli so I was there within 30 minutes. First thing Vijay said to me was that next week is his 1 year wedding anniversary…and he made it clear the ring must be found! We met at the area where he dropped the ring, it was a parking lot of a school, and he showed me exactly where the ring was dropped. It was clear that the ring was definitely swept away by the plow and most likely was in one of the 3-4 foot mounds of snow near where the drop occurred. I had 2 detectors with me…One with a small coil and one with a larger coil. I started searching first with the larger coil but it was tough going and I couldn’t sweep the mound very effectively. I switched to the smaller coil and after each pass without a signal I took my shovel and dug the mound down by a foot or so. The detector depth is only a foot so I was assuming the ring was probably deeper toward bottom of the mound. After 20 minutes and on my 3rd pass I finally got a really good signal(a 22 on my Equinox 800). I called Vijay over and told him I’m liking this signal…we looked together as I dug down in snow. We were both elated to see his bright yellow gold band appear! I tell this to people all the time…being a Ringfinder is a lot « funner » when you are able to come through for the person! I’m so happy that Vijay can celebrate his 1 year anniversary next week with his beautiful band on his finger.
Snow Shoveling Temporally Claims Another Wedding Band in Berlin NJ, Returned by Dave Milsted
Tiffany posted a desperate plea on the Winslow Talk Facebook page, asking if someone could help find her husband’s wedding ring. He lost it in the snow yesterday while shoveling. There were two people who referred me to help: Brian, a friend of mine, and Nicole, who has used my service in the past (a one-minute successful search Click here to read that story)
I made arrangements to look for the wedding band after work. It is a thin yellow gold wedding band. They have only been married for 3 months. After Korey lost the ring, he stopped shoveling. So there are about 8 inches of snow on the ground. She did mention that he heard something hit the house when he threw some snow off of the shovel.
That was a great piece of information. I only had to search for about 5 minutes before I uncovered the bright and shiny yellow gold ring. It was within 3 inches of the foundation for the house. Tiffany was shocked that it was found, let alone so fast.
I love my hobby!
iPhone 11 Lost in the Snow. Recovered 3 Days Later
It was late Tuesday night when she left for home. Somewhere between the East Village Condo and the car parked out front a cell phone fell out of her coat. How did she know? The « Find My Phone » app was signalling it was there. She had gone out looking for it but the heavy snow fall warning came true the next day and covered everything. In the hours between losing it and searching for it 10 cm of snow fell. Move forward to Friday. It was time to get a new phone but she was still getting a signal from her phone. In a last chance effort she found and called me. We talked for quite a while. In the end I made her a deal. Since I only lived 8 minutes away and since the phone was still active I would give it a try. If I did not find it, we would leave it as a good effort. No cost whatsoever. I thoroughly enjoy the hunt and the possibility of succeeding so it isn’t done begrudgingly in any way. I arrived and met her there. We looked at the app and it still indicated that the phone was somewhere near the front entrance. The condo complex was 15 stories high and had a snow clearing service. There were mounds of snow all around the entrance where they had cleared the snow. I checked each pile. No luck. What I figured would be a short hunt because of the app, turned out to be longer than expected. It seems that tall buildings and such make the location more of a suggestion as, even in the time we were there, the phone signal was moving about. Eventually she thanked me and offered to etransfer me something. I told her « no » as there is no need to add more on to the pain of losing her iPhone 11. 45 minutes into the hunt she was ready to call it quits. I asked her one more time, which door she left and where her car was parked. She recreated it to the best of her recall but it was fuzzy. If she took a direct path to the street, she would cross somewhere between the first parked car and the edge of the driveway. I said, « If we don’t find it here, I am going to call it quits. » I took my detector to it and I quickly got another signal. I used my foot and swept the snow away. There, face down, was her white iPhone. I looked up and she had this look of disbelief. « I can’t believe that you do this for people ». Her smile sunk. « Its been out here for 3 days. Its probably wrecked ». She bent down and picked it up. I was going to tell her to take it home and let it warm up slowly. Instead she pushed the home button. It started and lit up. She couldn’t believe it.
We found it, literally, in the last place I looked. She left with a big smile and a promise she would tell everyone she knows about it. That made me smile.
Lost Platinum Wedding Band Cap Sante Marina Anacortes WA
SeattleRingHunter Lost Item Recovery Specialist LAND & SCUBA Call ASAP 206-618-8194
Like, share and subscribe to this exciting video of John’s platinum wedding ring recovery.
On a Sunday morning I received the following message.
Is this Jeff Morgan? I found your contact info on ring finders. I accidentally dropped my platinum wedding ring off the dock in the Anacortes marina last night. I figured it was gone for good but my wife suggested I do some investigation and see if there was anyone who could possibly find it. The water depth there is between 8 and 10 feet depending on the tide. Sorry to bother you on a Sunday morning, but if there is any chance at getting it back I’d be super grateful after 15 years of marriage!
Within minutes of reading his message we were on the phone discussing details and set a plan for a dive recovery a few short days later.
On the day of the recovery we had cold weather however the Puget Sound was calm with no rain. John was able to easily recall and point out exactly where he was standing when he was attempting to flick off some slime from his hand when his ring shot off straight into the water below.
I measured the depth at 17 feet deep, scanned the waters for stray electrical currents, and prepared all of my gear. I also placed my marine radio set to the marina channel at the end of John’s boat as another piece of safety mitigation. When working in an active marina there is a lot of concerns and precautions that need to be taken into account for a safe and successful outcome. With cold water diving in active waters this is a task you should leave to a trained and experienced specialist to perform.
On this dive I chose to use a drop line and my PVC gird system to ensure a safe hassle free recovery. During the dive as I already expected his ring was not visually available with all the silt on the sea floor. If you loose an item don’t think for a minute you going to jump in to freezing cold water and just dive down and find a lost wedding ring, cell phone or car keys. They are heavy and ninety-nine percent of the time hidden under a layer of silt. Once a diver reaches the bottom the silt will cloud up into the water column and you can quickly become disoriented with near zero visibility conditions.
When I reached the drop zone and put my tools to work I quickly located his wedding ring under a cloud of zero visibility silt. Thank you Lord for another successful recovery! This man’s cherished wedding ring will be returned to his finger and its story will continue on.
Of course after I surfaced and reunited John with his heavy platinum wedding ring of fifteen years he was very appreciative of my recovery services.
If you lost an item of value reach out to me directly for a quick chat so I can formulate a recovery plan for you!

Maryland Metal Detecting Service Finds Lost Gold Wedding Band Near Basketball Hoop
Craig’s Handsome 14 Karat Gold Diamond Wedding Band Proudly Displayed!
Craig Smiles So Very Brightly as He Holds in Hand His Beloved Gold Diamond Wedding Band Once Again!
BRIAN RUDOLPH, LOST ITEM RECOVERY SPECIALIST (LAND, WATER, SAND, HOUSES & VEHICLES) WILL FIND YOUR LOST KEEPSAKE! CALL ASAP (301) 466-8644!
I received a call from a lady named Betsy who was eager to recover a lost wedding band that belonged to her husband Craig. The day prior, he was playing basketball outside next to their house when he believed he saw the ring fly off his finger when the basketball was released from his hand.
Craig owns one of those portable height adjustable basketball hoop systems that has attachable wheels and a sand-filled base at the bottom. He was certain that he would find the ring shortly after searching around his sport’s set-up. Unfortunately, he did not triumph over that particular challenge of looking about to find his lost handsome 14 karat yellow gold wedding band with several diamonds set within the ring. As the hours of searching increased, Craig became more concerned that the ring may have bounced off the hoop system and possibly roll down the street (their house is located at the top of a semi-steep hill).
The frustrated man and his wife Betsy considered renting a metal detector to help them find the missing ring. They went online and stumbled across an international metal detecting service directory called THE RING FINDERS. The couple learned that there are professional metal detectorists in various states that are associated with this directory and who specialize in finding lost rings. Instead of renting a cheap detector which they had no experience operating, Betsy looked up their local ring finder on the elite directory. She found my name, Brian Rudolph, listed as one who provides metal detecting services for the Takoma Park, Maryland area.
Betsy immediately contacted me to inquire about my services after reading countless success stories of how I had found many client’s lost rings and other keepsakes over the past couple of years. I was beyond thrilled to help the couple with the recovery of such an important part of their lives – Craig’s gold and diamond wedding band!
Later that afternoon I arrived at the couple’s lovely home. Craig and Betsy were one of the nicest couples I had ever had the pleasure of meeting! They were so sweet to me! I was shown the basketball hoop system which was located at the edge of their property overlooking the street. Their driveway was adjacent to where Craig conveniently worked out while playing hoops. I was jealous at how fit this man appeared to be! I believe he told me that he had lost a considerable amount of weight and the ring became loose on his finger. This is why the sentimental keepsake ended up flying off his finger in the process of launching the basketball towards the net.
After being shown the property’s beautiful flower beds and all of the exquisite plant life surrounding the basketball hoop system, I returned to my vehicle to acquire all of the gear that I needed to help recover Craig’s missing ring.
I first started the search by using my 15 inch coil (which is the disc at the end of the metal detector’s shaft) . I was able to cover a lot of territory on the lawn with this particular set up. By the time I was done with this initial coverage of the lawn, I concluded that the ring was not lost within the grassy areas. I switched detectors and used my other Minelab Equinox 800 with a smaller 6 inch coil at the end and started detecting in the flower beds behind and to the sides of the basketball hoop system. With such a unique coil, I was able to carefully and gently move between the garden flowers as to not harm them in any way. As I was performing this step in the search, the next door neighbor came over to help look within the flower beds, as well. I made sure that every potential signal that my detector picked up was carefully analyzed and scanned over, just to make certain that I hadn’t missed the jewel. Still, nothing if importance was discovered.
The next leg of my search was to metal detect the street, starting at the top of the hill and moving my way down towards the bottom. I wanted to secure the public area just in case the ring bounced off the hoop’s center vertical bar and headed for the concrete’s decline. Sadly, every part of the pavement was clear of any rings. Still, nothing turned up.
After approximately an hour and forty-five minutes of searching the lawn, flower beds, bushes, driveway, street, and the concrete blocks that weighed down the basketball hoop base, I took a break and mentally reviewed all of the places that I methodically investigated. Unless someone walking by had spotted the wedding band and picked it up, I was pretty convinced that I had somehow missed the location where the ring was lying.
I was not about to give up this search. I am relentless and ruthless with my recovery efforts and I was absolutely determined to find Craig’s very sentimental keepsake. I made a decision to return to my small coil and carefully detect around little spaces, cracks and crevices where my larger detector coil may not have been able to reach the precious metal target.
After another 30 minutes of very slow and meticulous detecting around the places where the ring could have settled down into hard-to-reach spaces, I began moving the 6 inch coil around the parameter of the base of the basketball hoop support. I was thinking that there was a possibility that the other detector just couldn’t reach alongside of the base and I wanted to make sure then I wasn’t missing any spaces up against the structure. Well, it was a wise thing that I chose to use the small 6 inch coil to reach those hard to reach spots, because I ended up receiving a strong but broken up target signal on my detector screen which was registering the type of VDI (visual display identification) numbers that I was hoping to hit! I swung the coil back and forth just so very slightly to make sure that I was getting an accurate reading of this particular metal. I then knelt down beside the basketball hoop system base and used my handheld pinpointer (which is a small detector) in order to focus in on exactly where the target was hiding. Just then at that moment, as the pinpointer began to sound off (indicating that the piece of metal was zeroed in on), I looked straight down at that particular area between the blades of grass and the plastic base, and that’s when I saw the most beautiful sight! I found it! I finally discovered the missing wedding band! I had metal detected one of the most splendid piece of gold treasures with exquisite diamonds set across one side of the ring! It truly was one handsome looking men’s wedding band!
I was praising the Lord quietly but very excitedly inside my heart and mind as I planned to surprise Craig and Betsy with this most fantastic news! Once the reveal was made, the couple was beyond blown away by what I had uncovered from the ground! It had been so long since first arriving at the house and I wondered if they thought the search would end up empty handed at that point. Even I was getting concerned that perhaps the jewel had ended up rolling into the street where someone found it or a tire picked it up and carried far down the pavement. Yet, reality proved everyone’s concerns to be unworthy of attention because all along the « grand band » was simply wedged down in that space along side the basketball hoop ground base!
Craig and Betsy were not only relieved to see the sight of that most brilliant gold, but they were also extremely grateful for my search efforts in recovering Craig’s very special wedding band! I will never forget the warm send off that the happy couple and their excited neighbors next door expressed as I packed up my gear, waived goodbye and started my drive down the street! I was certainly wearing a victory smile from ear to ear all the way home that afternoon!
Craig and Betsy’s Testimonial:
« We are so grateful that Brian Rudolph who was able to come to our home with his metal detecting equipment to search for a lost ring. He meticulously searched through our lawn and gardens using various devices.He was careful in the gardens not to hurt the flowers. After less than 2 hours, Brian found the wedding ring which had fallen off my husband’s finger while playing basketball in the driveway. The whole experience was delightful. We were so glad to learn about the The Ring Finders – it was a much better option than renting a metal detector ourselves! »

Lost ring in the snow
I was contacted last week about a lost ring. Here is his story in his words
After returning home on a snowy evening I, being the good husband I am, threw a snowball at my wife. When I went to shake the snow off of my hand, my wedding ring flew off of my finger. My wife and I searched for three days with no luck finding it. We had almost given up hope when we found Steve Wagner on the theRingFinders.com website online. We called him and Steve came the next day and found the ring within 10 minutes. Steve was really kind and friendly and did a wonderful job. He really knows what he is doing. We are so happy to have our ring back and would confidently recommend Steve for any circumstance where you need to make use of a metal detector!
Thanks again Steve!
Metal Detecting Lost Tiffany and Company Sterling Silver Heart Pendant…Found in Columbia, Maryland
Kristina’s Very Special Tiffany and Co. Sterling Silver Heart Pendant!
Anthony and Kristina Display the Beautiful and Sentimental Tiffany & Co. Heart Pendant!
BRIAN RUDOLPH, LOST ITEM RECOVERY SPECIALIST (LAND, WATER, SAND, HOUSES & VEHICLES) WILL FIND YOUR LOST KEEPSAKE! CALL ASAP (301) 466-8644!
I received a text message from Anthony inquiring whether or not I still recover lost items for people during the Covid-19 pandemic. I texted the potential client and told him that not only was I active in search and recovery operations, but that I had just recovered a lovely wedding band for someone the day before he contacted me. Anthony then went on to share what happened to his wife’s heart pendant:
“My wife lost her Tiffany Sterling Silver charm in our yard last week while we were doing yard work. I know the exact 100 foot stretch of grass that it’s located in, but the grass is so tall that I have not been able to find it. Please let me know if this is something you can help with. We are located in Columbia, Maryland.”
I responded, “I would love to recover the charm for your beloved.”
Anthony and Kristina found my information on the elite metal detectorist website called THE RING FINDERS. He learned that I provide professional metal detecting services in the Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Delaware areas. Anthony continued to text me photos and a description of the lost piece of jewelry. He said it was a sterling silver heart charm that he gave to Kristina for their first anniversary during their college years 13 years ago! It was highly sentimental! Once again I told him that I would be happy to recover the charm for Kristina. I asked what his schedule was like for the next day and he said that they were both available. However, the weather was forecasted to be very rainy and Anthony wondered if that mattered to me. I responded back by telling him that it was not a problem at all and that I always come fully equipped with rain gear and metal detecting equipment that is fully waterproof. I explained that I work in the rain all the time. With that mentioned, Anthony was 100% on board with having me come out and start the pendant search for the couple.
The next day, I arrived at Kristina and Anthony’s Columbia, Maryland house. Yes, it was a nice drizzly day, but nothing that I couldn’t handle. I was just so charged up about helping this concerned couple that it didn’t matter to me in the least regarding the occasional downpour.
The day before the search, while Anthony and I were texting back and forth, he shared with me that he had attempted to recover the very sentimental keepsake with a cheap metal detector that he bought on Amazon a week prior. For 7 days, he unfortunately was getting too many false signals and not the object that he was hoping to find. I recommended to him that he return the detector and get his money back. So many people contact professional metal detectorists (like myself) after they have expended all of their money, time, and energy purchasing detectors that they don’t know how to use and equipment that just won’t get the job done. It literally takes hundreds of hours to learn and best acquaint oneself with a metal detector before he or she can be effective with their searches.
Anthony came out to greet me as the rain steadily fell. We walked to his backyard and he explained to me that he was completely confident that the pendant that his wife was wearing while doing yard work was not lost anywhere else but in the backyard. Kristina saw the broken chain still wrapped around her neck but the pendant was missing. She too was certain that she had never walked towards the sides or front of their property.
Anthony pointed to his shed and showed me where he and Kristina had carried bales of hay towards portions of the yard after they had laid down grass seed in various places. Once I took into account all of the spots where they walked and worked, I set up my detector in order to locate a sterling silver-type target and then got on my way with the search. I used my Equinox 800 machine along with my 15 inch coil for this particular hunt.
Slowly and carefully I started my first gridline across the lawn, about 25 feet away from the couple’s house. I swung the coil from east to west until I got within inches of the foundation. I then carefully detected the sections near the flowerbeds where the grass seed was laid down and where the hay was placed on top of the surface. I still did not pick up any potential targets that alerted me to something that might be sterling silver. All of my gridlines took no more than 25 minutes or so to complete that particular parameter on the lawn. Once I was done with the 25 by 100 foot grid area, I didn’t feel comfortable moving to another section before re-examining the grass where Kristina had been walking. So, before moving on to another part of the lawn to detect, I decided to widen the search zone a little bit closer to the property line where Anthony and Kristina’s neighbor’s yard began.
Just as I started a new grid line on the very edge of my client’s property, I got a very encouraging target signal that was definitely registering a target that could potentially be sterling silver. Indeed, it was close to the surface, if not on top of the earth, and the tone came out pretty strong through the headphones. I knelt down to see what this target was all about. Then, I took out my pinpointer to zero-in on exactly where this target was lying. All of a sudden, my eyes locked in on what the pinpointer was detecting between the blades of grass. There was a silver looking piece of jewelry laying upon the dirt below! I found it! It was the heart pendant! I was beyond thrilled at that moment as my eyes read the inscription: “Always and Forever…Tiffany and Company 925”!
Anthony was the first one to learn of the successful recovery of Kristina’s pendant. He was beyond excited with the news and equally surprised as to where I found the very sentimental item! Anthony went inside to share the happy moment with Kristina and I witnessed her beautiful excitement that was simply off the charts! Her beautiful piece of silver was finally returned to her hands! I was so happy for the couple, and the two of them were just as grateful for their decision to reach out to me and request my help! Yes, it was certainly another happy search ending!
