Lost Ring in Murfreesboro TN Found With Metal Detector

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Mitchell on June 6th, 2026 a few hours after he lost a very special ring in his backyard. It was a warm day, so he and his kids had a water balloon fight in their Murfreesboro, TN back yard. He felt the ring fly off his finger. The lush green grass in his yard, or possibly even one of the adjoining neighbor’s yards swallowed up his ring. He spent hours walking barefoot in his yard, hoping he’d find it by stepping on it, to no avail. He then found my information on TheRingFinders directory and gave me a call.

Mitchell’s father had owned the ring for many years and gave it to Mitchell just last year. Mitchell cherishes the ring and had worn it daily, so finding it was a must. I made the 45 minute drive from Nashville and met with Mitchell. He eagerly showed me where the water balloon fight took place. He anxiously watched as I started a grid search with my metal detector, and luckily he didn’t have to wait long. At the five minute mark I got the signal I was hoping for, it was Mitchell’s gorgeous white gold and diamond ring. Needless to say, Mitchell was all smiles. What a great feeling to reunite people with their lost treasures.

Man’s Lost Gold & Tantalum Wedding Ring Found! – Racine, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Racine, Wisconsin resident, Ben Rusch had spent the day catching up on projects around the house. That evening, Ben realized to his horror, his snug-fitting, white-gold and tantalum wedding band was not on his hand! His mind immediately went into overdrive as he retraced his activities through the day. One activity immediately came to mind. He had scrubbed and cleaned a cat-litter box, using the garden hose and Dawn soap in the process The litterbox event seemed a logical place to begin, this since it provided a logical cause for the ring to come off his slippery hand. Ben searched the lawn and shrubbery on both sides of the driveway. He even used a metal detector. But the ring’s hiding place eluded discovery. A few days later, he discovered the Ring Finders online directory of metal-detecting and ring-recovery specialists and reached out to me.

I arrived at Ben’s house later the next morning, this after recovering a lady’s wedding ring in a Wisconsin state park. Ben showed me the area where he had been working and I noted several thick bushes and Hosta plants in amongst a rock garden. The ring could be anywhere. I also noted three storm drains close by and pictured the ring disappearing down into one of those. Had the ring rolled into the street and been picked up by a pedestrian? These were troubling scenarios.

Finding lost rings is a forensic process, one of elimination, of determining where the ring is not. And so, I began scanning the lawns on both sides of the driveway. After eliminating one side, I moved to the other using a newer high-frequency search coil, one that is particularly sensitive to white gold and tantalum. On my third pass, I heard a signal emitting from a shallow target and in the conductivity range of Ben’s ring. Parting the grass carefully, the missing ring appeared! Mystery solved! And Ben’s smile tells the rest of the rest of the story!

If you or someone you know has lost a ring, don’t let its story end. Call today. I’d love to add your smile to the growing list of over 160 clients who, like Ben, are so glad they did.

Lady’s Lost Rose-Gold Wedding Ring Found! – Richard Bong State Recreational Park, Kansasville, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:


Chicago residents, Brandon Weninger and his wife, were attending a Cub Scouts outing with their son, Ben. The group met at Wisconsin’s Richard Bong State Recreation Area east of Burlington. When Ben’s mom removed her three wedding rings to apply sunscreen lotion on him, she slipped them into her pocket for safekeeping. Later, however, as she removed her cellphone from the same pocket she saw two of the rings fall out. The third, a diamond-decorated, rose-gold band, was missing. By this time, Brandon’s wife had traversed quite a large area. The ring could be anywhere.

In concert with the helping spirit of Cub Scouts, they and their parents formed a search line and carefully combed the grass area looking for the lost ring. Unfortunately, it was not found. Brandon later returned with a metal detector belonging to his father, but the presence of metallic objects in the ground made it difficult to discern which signals he should investigate. That’s when he found me on The Ring Finders online directory of metal-detecting specialists and reached out by text.

In a later telephone call, we agreed to meet at the park early the next morning. Brandon, having driven all the way up from Chicago again, was waiting for me when I arrived.

After surveying the area and the location where the other rings had been found, I laid out two 100’ measuring lines perpendicular to one another. This served as a reference aid for a systematic grid search.

Being a group-camp site, the ground was thick with the usual metallic debris such as foil wrappers, bottle caps, pull tabs and coins. The presence of these targets were tangible evidence that the site was well used. But only twenty minutes or so into the search, a particularly shallow target made itself known both audibly in my headset and on my detector’s control screen. Upon investigation, using a pin-pointing detection tool, the lost ring appeared deep down in the grass where it had either been stepped on or pushed down by a mower wheel. The smile on Brandon’s face tells the rest of the story!

If you or someone you know has lost a ring, don’t let its story end. Call today. I’d love to add your smile to the growing list of over 160 clients who, like Brandon, are so glad they did.

Lost Sterling Silver Ring Found in Lake Orion Michigan

Contact:

Green With Laughter…

Got a text from Jerry asking if I could find a lost ring in some ivy, I asked is it poison ivy? He quickly said no just regular ivy. Seems that his wife Terri was throwing yard debris down the embankment next to a huge patch of ivy and her ring came off. The ring is 20 years old and has been with the couple as they have clung to each other, climbed to success together and regrown over time, similar to ivy. I set up my MXT metal detector and starter to scan a grid pattern and got a few pieces of foil. Nearing mid-slope, I got a nice signal in the range where silver would be identified of the metal detector meter. Reaching thru some ivy I separated a few leaves and saw Terri’s ring sitting on a deep green ivy leaf. Lifting it up Jerry saw it and started moving quickly towards me almost falling headfirst down the embankment. Regaining his footing, Terri walked out onto the deck to see what all the excitement was about and couldn’t believe her ring was found! Jerry rushed over to place it on her finger and as she started jumping up and down Jerry said thank Jonathan not me! Now with all smiles on deck Jerry and Terri can return to the « ivy league » of their own!

Lost ring in the bay what should I do? Warerown NJ, Recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

Edward Trapper NJ ring Finder returning ring recovered from the bay

I received a call from Max, who was pretty upset after losing his wedding band of many years while cleaning his boat. He explained that he was standing on the dock washing the boat when the hose became snagged on something behind him. As he gave the hose a hard pull across his chest with his left hand, the snag suddenly released. Because his hands were wet and soapy, his grip slipped and his hand flew outward to the side. At that exact moment, his wedding ring launched right off his finger and disappeared into the lagoon.

Max was certain the ring had only flown a few feet from the boat and carefully explained exactly where he had been standing and the motion that caused it to come off. Although he couldn’t make it back down to the house, he drew me a very detailed map of the area and showed me precisely where everything happened.

This was going to be a difficult recovery. The lagoon was deep, the bottom terrain was uneven, and the dark black water had absolutely zero visibility. Recoveries like this require careful underwater grid searches and a lot of patience.

On day one, I spent over three hours underwater methodically searching the mapped-out area, but unfortunately the search came up empty. I called Max afterward and showed him exactly where I had searched. He was shocked the ring hadn’t turned up because everyone believed it had to be close to the boat.

We agreed to give it another shot the following day. As we mapped out the next section, I had a strong feeling the ring may have traveled much farther than anyone expected. We started right where the previous search ended and slowly worked our way farther toward the middle of the lagoon.

Nearly two hours into the second search, right at the edge of the new grid, I heard a very promising signal through the headphones. Buried deep in the black mud was Max’s wedding band!

The ring ended up being far farther from the boat than anyone would have imagined — likely close to 20 feet away from where it came off his finger. This is probably the furthest distance I’ve ever recovered a ring from the actual point where it was lost.

After getting everything cleaned up, rinsed off, and loading my gear back into the truck, I decided to have a little fun with Max before giving away the result. I called him and told him we had found a few things on the bottom and that I had sent some pictures over. First came the photos of soda cans, pull tabs, beer bottle caps, and other debris from the lagoon floor. Then in the final picture was his wedding ring sitting safely in my hand.

I had him on speakerphone and could hear the absolute joy and disbelief in his voice the moment he saw it. Max admitted most people would have completely given up after the first search because nobody would ever expect the ring to travel that far.

Another incredible recovery completed!

Received a message from Joe this past Tuesday evening. Joe explained that last Sunday he was at the beach on 7th street in North Wildwood with family. At some point, while on the beach, his wedding band fell off. Joe didnt realize this until he was on his way home on Rt55 near Elmer NJ. After gathering some details from Joe and checking the forecast and tide tables I figured that I would give it a shot the next morning at low tide. I took the short ride over from home and after about 25 minutes of searching, I swung my coil over a really clean solid signal. One scoop later I had Joes ring in my scoop! I texted Joe a picture and to his disbelief it was, in fact, his ring! Joe and his family came by today and picked up his ring. He informed me that he lost the ring the day before his 8th anniversary. Another successful recovery, another happy couple! See the very nice note they wrote in the pics.
