Lost Gold Ring Recovered At Piney Lake In Greensboro NC

  • from Hillsborough (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

This gold ring was recovered today in around 6 feet of water at Piney lake in Greensboro NC. This is the second time I recovered this ring for him and like always I’m very happy to help because I love helping people. Last night I received his call and text explaining he had lost the ring again but this time he was swimming in a lake. He explained everything and we met at 9am this morning at the lake. Water searches are not easy but since he knew a general area I was able to find his ring in about 30 minutes. Once again I am glad I can help. It’s always a good feeling to try to help people.

Necklace lost at Mission Bay found

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

Kitty was visiting here and spent the last day of her vacation at the beach. She took off her special necklace with attached pendant, that was given to her from her grandmother, to apply some lotion. Well, you know the rest, it ended up in the dry sand where it seemed to completely disappear. After searching online, trying to contact some people in vain, talking with a few, including my fellow ring finding buddy Curtis just north of me. He told her that I was closer and could probably get on site quicker, since she had to get to the airport to catch her flight. Being Father’s day, a Sunday, summer time, and a hot sunny day (at least at my house), traffic and parking can make a 20 minute drive turn into an hour or more. My wife came with me in case she had to circle for a while if it came to that.  As luck would have it, the weather at the beach had turned a bit cool and overcast, so, lots of folks were leaving the beach area and allowed us to get there quickly and find a parking spot close by.  We met Kitty at the search area and got the story of the lost necklace. Not a huge area, maybe 20′ X 30′, but, she had no feeling as to the most likely spot. I decided to start at the north most end and work my way south. First target on my first pass was promising, but, not knowing what this was actually going to read on the detector, I would be investigating every signal. Success! A gold chain with it’s pendant came to light. An emotional Kitty gave us both a big hug and tearful thank you. A pleasure to meet you, glad you could make your flight, and thank you for the reward.

Lost a ring?

Call Now!

215-850-0188

 

While enjoying the bonfire on the beach in North Wildwood, NJ, Anthony lost his hearing aid in the sand. Upon receiving a call for assistance, I promptly arrived at the scene. After gathering some details about the incident, I began my search with the help of my metal detector.

Despite an hour and a half of meticulous searching, success eluded me. I decided it would be best to resume the search after the bonfire was over and the area was clear. Upon my return, I expanded the search perimeter and digging out several other targets.

Finally, after countless swings of my metal detector and a few hours of dedicated searching, I found the missing hearing aid! I immediately called Valerie to relay the good news. Al soon met me at the scene, and I handed over the hearing aid.

The day concluded on a happy note, transforming a potential disaster into a joyful ending.

Christine was helping her dad pull a boat into the slip.  With her keys in hand, the task of maneuvering the boat dislodged the keys from her grip. I took my gopro to the recovery. I hope you enjoy the video

Lost – White Gold Diamond Engagement Ring – Ponce Inlet, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)
Contact:

If you’ve lost a ring or other valuable item in the Daytona Beach, New Smyrna, Ormond area, call Ed at 757-419-0299 for the best chance of having it safely returned to you!  Maybe a class ring lost in your back yard years ago…there still may be hope of finding it…give me a call.

On Father’s Day, my wife Myrna and I were planning to go to her cousin’s home, in DeLand, for a family dinner.  She was getting ready, while I was tending to my pulled calf muscle; injured not-so gracefully entering the pool in a typical, “this is how we use to do cannon balls,” splash.

Just then, I got a text from Abbey.  She said that she was at Ponce Inlet, (just south of Daytona Beach) and had lost her diamond engagement ring in the sand.  I knew that this recovery could be challenging if I had to walk much, but I was determined.

When I got to the beach, I met Abbey and her husband Tyler, and their baby boy Banks.  They had sectioned off a large square of sand where they had found the wedding ring but not the engagement ring.  I could also see lots of hand, finger and scraping marks from their search.  I assured them that if the ring was there, I would find it.

I fired up the Minelab Manticore and began the search.  I got a faint hit outside of the area but continued to the large square and began scanning.  No targets.  I asked them if it could be anywhere else or in the water and they replied, no.  I went back to the initial hit.  It was stronger.  As I dug through the sand, deeper than expected, the sunlight hit the diamonds of the gorgeous ring.

Happy Father’s Day Tyler!!  Hugs all around!  Tyler, Abbey and even the guy in the vehicle south of them came over and gave me a hug!  God is good!

lost and found gold ring in Chesapeake back yard!

  • from Virginia Beach (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

People dont realize the emotional attachment that sometimes goes with rings. This man was physically upset that his wedding ring of 33 years had been lost. He was doing yard work and did not realize it was missing until after a lot of work had been done. It could be anywhere in the backyard!After a long search I emptied flower pots out he had been working in and detected the dirt. Very lucky to recover this one. He kissed the ring when I found it!

Found Man’s Wedding Ring in Vermont

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

June 16, 2024

A couple years ago, I got a call from a guy who’s wedding ring was lost. He, his wife and daughter, who was a toddler, were out doing things in their back yard. His daughter asked if she could wear his ring, and being a bit of a softy, he let her have it for a few minutes. He got distracted, and they all went up the hill to see their newly planted fruit trees, and lost track of time. On the way back down the hill they realized that she no longer had his ring. The grass was a little too deep to find it.

So, I went to their house, they explained that it could potentially be anywhere. The grass was very deep everywhere except part of the back lawn and the sandbox area. The ground was just loaded with signals, their neighbors told them that their entire property had been a private farm’s junkyard. All the broken down cars, trucks and farm equipment had been removed, so it looks nice, but it was going to be a real test of patience to find a little ring there. Patience is a requirement to belong to The Ring Finders!!

No luck that day. I went back a couple more times last year, as they cleared grass from different areas. Still no luck. I knew this one could take time.

They had a lot more mowing done, so I went to try it again today. When I got there, there was a new back door and a long wooden ramp to it. I got a real shock when his wife came to the door and said he had been in a serious accident and is now in a wheelchair. A young, healthy dad, on his way to work last Winter, was hit head on by a huge utility truck.

I started the search. After hearing hundreds of signals and digging dozens of targets, one being a horseshoe, I dug down with my finger expecting it to be just another piece if shreaded aluminum can or another car part, but it was something very smooth!! There it was, his shiny ring with roots growing through it!

He and his wife were in shock, they thought it was gone forever! I love these moments, a really good feeling to see it back on his hand. I sure hope he walks again someday. They also have a new addition to the family, a little boy!

Platinum Wedding Band w/Diamonds Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Wrightsville Beach NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Shortly before noon on June 15th, Demie called me asking if I could help find her Platinum Wedding Band at Wrightsville Beach. I told her it’d take me about an hour and a half to come up and I’d call the Ring Finder that covers Wrightsville and would call her back. I called John Finnerin and he said he wouldn’t be able to go. I text Demie back, told her I was on my way and gave her my ETA. A little bit later Demie sent me a pin drop with an address, so I knew exactly where to go.  When I was close, I sent her a text saying I was about 15 minutes out. This time of year, tourist and locals swarm the beaches especially with the daily temperatures in the high 80s, and this day was no different. When I was on scene, I text her saying, “I’m here, looking for parking.” After making a couple of laps around the streets, I called her and asked if her husband was with her, she replied he was. I asked if he could come out and drive my car around while I looked for her ring. She quickly agreed and said he is on his way, describing what he was wearing. After Nathan and I switched off I headed out on the beach.

As I walked out, I saw Demie waving to me. We met up where they had been sitting and she showed me where the ring had to be. The area was maybe 2’X2’. She said she had taken her ring off to apply sunscreen and was holding the ring in her teeth. Her husband, Nathan had knocked over a chair and when she turned to see what happened the ring flew out of her mouth. I turned my Nox 800 on, and made a couple passes over the area. With a lady’s platinum ring, I knew I was looking for a VDI (visual display indicator) in the single to low double digit numbers. Sure enough, 2nd swing, and I got a solid 8 VDI. Scraped a couple of layers of sand into the scoop with my foot, shook the sand out of the scoop and bingo! When I went to hand Demie her ring, I dropped it back in the sand and it quickly disappeared. I saw where it landed, found it again and this time handed it back to her. She was all smiles and almost lost a tear but held it. Got a big hug and was on my way out to find Nathan and my car.

Demie – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure.

Jim

Wedding band and engagement ring recovered at Belmar, NJ

Contact:

I woke up to find a missed late night text from Ingrid asking for help in finding her lost rings. I texted her to call me and she did a short time later. She told me she was visiting for father’s day from Georgia and was spending the day at Belmar beach when she took off her rings to put lotion on and placed them on the towel and forgot about them. Of course when they left they flew off the towel into the sand. She was in Paterson,NJ and said she would draw a map to show me where she was sitting. When I got to the beach I took a picture of the area and asked he to place an X where to search as well. I got to the area and there were signs of someone had detected there the night before. My hopes sank but started detecting anyway. Having no luck I looked at her map again and decided to move to the other side from where i was searching and on the 3rd pass I got a good signal and there was her wedding band in the scoop, then followed by her engagement ring. I couldnt believe it. I texted her a picture of the rings and she was so happy I found them. She drove straight from Patterson to meet me and get her rings back on her hand. A great ending to what could of been a bad weekend.
