Security badge lost in Manistee, Michigan

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

While working at the local casino Richard R. was clearing tables in the buffet restaurant. He came in to the Dish room where I work and emptied his cart full of dishes, glasses and table scraps. Before leaving our area he noticed his security badge missing. It clips on his collar and must have slipped off in the container holding table scraps while clearing tables. I told him I would search for it while he went back to the dining room clearing tables.

There are 2 50 gallon containers holding the table scraps, one was empty and the other one was almost full where he deposited his container. I proceeded to take handfuls of table scraps including crab claws and shells and emptying two handfuls at a time from one container to another while searching for his badge. This wasn’t my first rodeo with this type of search, I looked successfully for a mans retainer in his trash that he lost while in a nursing home (that time I was able to use my pin pointer). For Richards badge I got half way down the container and found his badge. After washing the badge off, Richard came back in to the dish room with another cart of plates and I gave him his access badge after getting a big thank you and a smile.

Lost Gold Wedding Ring Recovered —in the water—Tahoe Vista, Lake Tahoe, California!

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)

January 1st, 2026: The Client and his wife went Polar Plunging in Lake Tahoe. The video showed him wearing the wedding ring as he entered the water and few minutes later he realized the ring was missing, apparently falling off his finger in waist deep water. Later that evening, the Client contacted me—Trevor Oxborrow, to schedule a lost ring water search.
January 2nd, 2026: 9:30am I arrived at the Tahoe Sands beachside resort to begin the search. The air temperature was 40 degrees Fahrenheit with an estimated water temperature of 48 degrees Fahrenheit. The Client described the ring loss circumstances and search zone. I geared-up with my wetsuit, blu3 Nemo and XP Deus 2. Thirty minutes into the grid search I got the perfect target signal, but typically it was just a dang old pull-tab. Five minutes later I got another solid target….dug my scoop deep….sieved out the sand….there it was….a brilliant yellow and white gold 14k wedding ring. Client and wife were very happy.
Another great day at Lake Tahoe!

Hem was playing with his dog in the fresh snowfall and suddenly he realized he had lost his beautiful gold wedding band. He contacted me through the Ring Finder website. I met up with him and searched the area where he felt he had lost the ring. I found it under some ice below the snow and as I found the ring I realized Hem had his Wife on a Facetime call from France on his phone-she witnessed the recovery live from France! They had only been married a couple of months, so they were both very happy I located the ring.

Lost at Grand Rapids Airport – WWII Heirloom Wedding Ring – Found!

  • from Grand Haven (Michigan, United States)

I received a text from Henry who had lost his wedding ring on New Year’s Day in the parking lot at the Gerald R Ford International Airport.  He had returned 3 times to try and locate it with no luck.  He and his wife had recently moved to the Grand Rapids area from TX and were desperate to locate his ring which had been his wife’s Great Grandfather’s.   It was one of only a few items that her great grandparents were able to escape Poland with during WWII.  It was engraved with their wedding date back in 1923.  Even though the parking lot had been plowed, I was able to locate it covered in snow after a short search.  It was a little dinged up from being run over by the plow but Henry was amazed and elated he had it back to pass on to the next generation.

Lost Gold Ring Recovered Lake Tahoe

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)

– Lost Gold Ring Recovery—in the snow—in South Lake Tahoe!
My first ring recovery of 2026!
Client contacted me on Instagram yesterday, 12/31/25, with a lost ring search request in his back-yard with 12+ inches of snow. Backstory: Client and friends were throwing snowballs in the back yard, during which one of the client’s friends noticed her gold ring was missing.
I arrived at 10am today, 1/1/26, and once the client explained the location and circumstances of the ring loss, I turned on my XP Deus 2 and began the search. On the fifth swing, I got a solid target with a VDI of 60. Scooped a handful of snow and used the pinpointer to reveal a thin gold ring. Client was happy with the quick search and recovery.

Bradley was out with his cousins enjoying the unreasonably warm day in late December. Doing what boys do they grabbed their fishing poles and hit a hole. While sitting there he moved over, accidentally knocking his phone off the ledge and then he watched it slide down before launching into the 38 degree water. He stripped down to his shorts and jumped in. His toes, not touching the bottom in most places, tried to feel for it. After 10-15 minutes he had to give up. He then turned to the web and found me on Theringfinders.com. We met a couple days later and hit it immediately. Always my honor to help put a smile back on a face.

 

Lost Gold Wedding Ring Found in the Sierra Nevada Mountains

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)

Lost Ring Recovered in the Snow!

Received a call yesterday, (December 28, 2025), of a lost gold wedding ring — in the snow — 26 miles west of Truckee, California in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The client and wife — recently married — were returning home, via Interstate 80, from their honeymoon trip to Reno. At Yuba Gap, they decided to stop at a sledding hill to check out the fresh snow from the recent Pineapple Express Storm. The client started scooping snow with his hands and tossing snowballs resulting in the loss of his wedding ring somewhere on the slope above his parked truck. I arrived an hour and forty minutes after receiving the client’s call, having driven 71 miles from South Lake Tahoe. The client showed me the area where he had been scooping snow and within a couple of minutes got a solid target with a VDI of 62.
Success! The 14k white gold ring was returned to the happy newlywed couple.
