Lost watch, Winter Springs, Orlando, Florida…..Found!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Kathy asking if I could help find her lost watch!!  She explained how she and her husband had taken a walk and half way through their walk her watch was feeling a bit heavy and was clinging to her wrist, so she removed the watch and was carrying it in her hand.  Upon returning to their home the dog bolted from the house and the frantic chase began!   Her husband threw her the leash and as she tried to catch it with her left hand-she missed it and the leash landed in the St. Augustine grass.  (Northerners call it crab grass!)  Kathy was not sure if she dropped the watch at this point or if she dropped it across the street in the neighbors yard as she ran after the dog and was trying to put the leash on the frisky canine!  After realizing her watch was missing both she and her husband retraced their steps.  They walked and searched the grass and along the sidewalks but could not find her special watch.  This was not just any watch–it was a gift given to her by her loving husband when she retired and it had special meaning!

So I met up with Kathy and she showed me the areas where she thought the watch was lost.  I set up flags to mark off the places she walked through the yard, where she picked up the leash and where she went into the neighbors yard.  I combed the grass looking for the slightest glint of gold and listening for a good strong signal.  My metal detector was getting allot of interference from underground lines and I had to switch to prospecting mode on my DFX to get it to quiet down.  The neighbors grass was not as thick and I wondered how a watch could hide so well.  Kathy was looking a bit sad as I was finishing up the search.  I had circled the yard and was working my way to the center area when my eye caught a shinny glint of gold!  Could it be?  I motioned for Kathy to come over to where I had stopped, and she said, « What is it? »  I said I want you to be the one to pick it up and you should have seen the look on her face!!!   What an amazing feeling of relief and joy and thankfulness!

Thank you Kathy for your generous reward and for calling on me to help you!

Lost something precious?  Call ASAP!!

Lost Keys in Columbus, OH. « FOUND! »

  • from Newark (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

I received a call on Monday about a mans lost set a keys. He was helping a friend out while shoveling the snow from the driveway and lost them somewhere. I could not make for the next couple of days because the temperatures were down in the negative 20’s. So we meet up on a much warmer day. After searching for about thirty minutes about the driveway, there was the keys in the two foot high snow bank. He was very happy to have them back, which save him money into getting a new car key and he can use his gas discount card again.

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

Hello , here is another post of a recovery I made last night for a guy not to far from me..        Mr. Brian B. gave me a call yesterday evening just before dark about a ring he had lost while having a snow ball fight with his wife.. When speaking to him he gave me all the details and explained that when he was shaking the snow and water off his hands the rings flew off and he heard it ping / hit the ground..  He then tried to find the ring but was unsuccessful since there was snow everywhere and the ring was hidden in the snow.. even though it was getting dark I offered to come out and find it for him in the dark anyway since he was close and I really enjoy helping people recover their lost items.. It took me about 30 minutes to get there and I recovered the ring pretty fast using my Garrett ATPRO metal detector.. The search took about 15 minutes.. The ring was found only a few feet from where he lost it.. I was really happy to help MR. Brian B. and he was very happy to have it found.. He is a really nice guy and it was a pleasure to help him..DCIM100GOPRO DCIM100GOPRO

Received a call yesterday afternoon from Matt in regards to finding his ring which was lost last November after his girlfriends chucked it over the fence into somebody’s back yard after having a disagreement, I asked Matt why it took him this long to try and find his ring he said since it had snowed that day his ring would be buried and it would be safe there until spring, yesterday he was searching on the internet and found me and the rest is history.

Matt told me he had permission from the owner to look for his ring. Made arrangement to meet this morning at the lactation, arrived in the back yard where there was around two feet of snow lucky for me the yard size was only 33’ x 50’ with a deck and fenced; Matt told me it was a heavy gold ring with his initials. Searched the area for about 30 minutes with no luck, then bingo ring found! Underneath the table on the deck somehow the ring must have bounced off something and ended up there as you can see by the picture the ring was very large. Mat & Sam was very happy to get the ring back once again. Thanks Matt for entrusting me and the TheRingFinders to search for your ring.

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

On 1/22/2014  I  received a call from a gentleman and his wife  in  Durham N.C. about a lost wedding band that he had lost  off his upper back patio while using his grill. After speaking to the gentleman and his wife I agreed to meet with  them at their home where he lost his wedding band. On    1/24/2014 I drove to their home that morning to do the search and meet with the gentleman to help him locate his missing ring. The gentleman also advised me he had attempted to locate the ring himself but was unsuccessful .   He had explained all the details to me on the phone prior to me coming out so i had a good idea of where to start looking.  When he was using his grill he had burned his hand and when he got burned he started shaking and flinging his hand around..  That is when the ring flew off his finger. After a couple hours of searching the ring was recovered and  As you can see from the pictures he was very relieved and grateful to have his ring back . These people are very nice and it was my pleasure to help them. bs3 383 bs3 382

Ring Found in the Snow in Cherry Hill NJ.

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from a woman in Cherry Hill. Her husband was out shoveling during the big 9 inch snow storm earlier in January. He took off his gloves and shook his hands to warm them and he felt his wedding ring fly off.

They piled up all of the snow from the driveway and have been looking for it ever since. They were worried about someone else finding the ring or an animal taking it. They found my website and called me.

We made arrangements for me to head over a 3pm today. I arrived and found a large pile of snow on a concrete driveway, uh oh rebar….

She showed me about where her husband was standing and I did a quick search of the pile. Too much interference from the rebar. I scanned both sides of the driveway and not a peep.

So we shoveled the pile of snow onto the grass. I started to search the snow, within 3 minutes and had a nice solid signal. Dug thru the snow and found a beautiful 14k white gold ring. The look on her face was priceless. It took longer to shovel than it did to find the ring.

She was so happy. I collected a few more hugs for the hug bank. Her side of the story will follow in a few days when I get her email. Leaving my house to the return in my front door was less than 30 minutes.

Keys found in Coronado

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

I talked with Dave on the phone about finding his car key. Seems it fell out of his back pack while he was at Coronado dog beach with his dog. He googled « detector rental »  and contacted DeMarco detector sales in NJ. After Dave found out that they were a continent away, Joe DeMarco  suggested that he call me, since I’m here in the same  area. Thanks Joe. Dave laid out a big square area in the sand where he thought he was camped and I proceded to run a grid pattern with my Minelab E-trac/15″WOT combo. After about 15 minutes and 3/4 of the box having been searched, I hit the right spot! Good job Dave to get me in the proper area!  Good to meet you and thank you for the reward!

Lost Rings lost in water can be found

Contact:

Many people do not understand that rings lost in the sea or lakes can be found. Call theringfinders.com for assistance.  Also, make sure your rings have an inscription and if lost, place a notice on the internet. Many rings cannot be returned because owners never place a notification on the internet when their keepsakes are lost in the sea. I always check the internet each time I find a ring with an inscription. Merely list the inscription exactly as it is for easy searches on the internet.
