Lost Gold Necklace Pendant Near Pamlico River Found

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Joe used a Google search to find TheRingFinders.com.  This provided Joe to find Emerald Isle Metal Detecting‘s phone number and call me in regards to very sentimental necklace pendant his wife had lost the week prior.  It seems she was holding one of their dogs when the poor pooch got tangled in her necklace and panicked.  The pendant was tossed & lost.  After hearing her description and where she was standing at the time I began the search.  It was seconds later I heard the that sweet sound of gold.  It was a long drive for me but, it was worth the joy in their faces when I returned the pendant!

Gold wedding Ring Lost & Found in Dorchester Garden

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

John stood in his Dorchester garden when along came his pet Husky dog seeking attention. He gave the dog a firm pat and felt his ring leave his finger landing somewhere in the garden. After spending many hours searching high and low he called me at the Ring Finders.

I noticed straight away the the ring could not have traveled too far for the fact there was a wire fence bordering the garden. This was both a help and a hindrance as any detectorist knows metal fences and detectors dont mix!

After searching for an hour I resorted to tackling the undergrowth by the wire fence on my hands and knees using just my hand held probe. At the base of the fence, under leaves out of reach of any coil there it was.

John was very relieved to get it back and made a kind donation to the Margret Green Animal Charity.

Big Diamond Ring Lost, Found and Returned at the Fairmont Orchid, Big Island, Hawaii

I could tell by Jessica’s voice that she was upset when she called – just the simple act of putting on sunscreen and her $10,000 wedding band had gone flying. She and her friends had searched for hours…
Trying to pick it up was useless – the sand on most beaches is a sure ring trap.
By the time I got to the Fairmont Orchid hotel, she and her friends were hopeful I could find it, helped in part by the beach bar!
I searched and produced coins, hair clips and various bits of junk but no diamond-rimmed, white gold ring. I finally moved her husband and friend sitting on the side of the search area on a double-cabana bed. Move the chairs too guys…!
As I searched in the new space – suddenly bang! I heard a gold – but not gold – sound in my headphones. Digging out what was definitely her big diamond ring, I saw the reason for the strange signal. Somehow an old penny had found itself inside the band, giving me a signal of junk-and-gold at the same time! Happy news for all – Jessica now had tears of joy…
 

Jason’s Daughter’s Lost Gold Pendant

A gentleman named Jason contacted me looking for assistance with a shallow water pendant recovery. His daughter was out the day prior and lost a very special yellow gold pendant she had received on her sixteenth birthday. The pendant slipped away from her and fell between the slat of the dock into the water below. This happened at the Seattle T-dock on Lake Washington in the Leschi neighborhood.  Jason told me that the water was clear and he could see that the bottom was very shallow  so without much additional thought he jumped into the lake. His attempting  to recover the pendant was quickly cut short as the cold water was more than he anticipated. This drove him to search for a diver to assist in the recovery.  After a few attempts he found TheRingFinders and my Seattle listing with SCUBA support.

Even though on the day of the search the weather was rather warm for Seattle at 80° F, the lake water was still a chilly 55° F.  The water was clear and the bottom where the pendant landed was no more than 5′ deep. However many lakes have a very silty bottom and it takes very little to muck up the visibility. Often times heavy jewelry, keys or electronics sink into the silt and are not even visible. Without proper underwater metal detection gear it really can be a lot of used up energy with very little return.

Having a full SCUBA dive kit including environmental protection, a nice warm dry suit, underwater dive lights, proper dive tanks and several underwater metal detectors along with a fist full of experence dynamically increased the odds of a full recovery.

As you will witness in this video report I was able to effectively recover the lost pendant and was happy to return it to this family.

Take a look at the video here:

This family did well having witnessed the precise location the pendant was lost they marked the location and took detailed photos with identifying landmarks. This really helped a lot and made for a very efficient recovery effort. They also were quick to reach out for support only a day after the incident improving their odds in getting a successful recovery.

However please do not be discouraged if you have lost an item of value in a know location in the water or on land but don’t have the exact pin point please call me for a chat. I have also recovered a wedding band that was lost for several years in a yard. Often times we can still locate items that you thought you would never seen again!

 

Your first step is to contact me so we can brain storm a plan for your lost item recovery mission.

Cheers,

Jeff Morgan

Carolina Beach Ring Lost in Sand Found

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

 

 

Kati and Mitchell were sitting in their truck on a beach in Wilmington, NC.  While taking in the view off the Atlantic ocean, Kati’s hand movement resulted in her losing not only her engagement ring but also wedding band.  Days later, I was contacted and was able to meet her husband Mitchell to go back to the site of loss.  A short search of the area and the very first target produced her wedding band.  A thorough  search afterwards unfortunately did not produce the engagement ring.   Her husband did state that even though the engagement ring cost more the wedding ring held much more importance.

Lost Man’s Wedding Ring FOUND! in Spokane valley Wa

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

After starting my work for the day I got a call from Judd. His wedding ring had gone missing. On the day that Judd was turning 50 he woke up sick. So because he had to attend his own birthday he went outside to do a little work out. After hearing this I knew the ring was in his yard and I could find it fast. So I got done done with my work and headed to Judd’s house. He told me that he started his work out on the hanging rings. Before he started the hanging, he took off his wedding band and placed it in his pocket. Like all deeds that are done to keep the ring safe this act made Judd lose his ring. I knew that if his wedding band fell off by his hanging rings where the grass was thin,Judd would have spotted it. So we moved to the spot where he stretched. I started searching there. And there is where I found his ring. Judd’s ring was just one pass over from where he did a back arch. The ring was hiding under a tuff of grass. Judd had been wearing that ring for 21 years and almost gave up on finding it.

A young lady lost her diamond engagement ring trying to keep it safe by putting it in her pocket…It happens a lot! It falls out of the pocket! After talking to her husband and him sending me a google earth map of the location I was able to do the search without him being there to show me the area.

Lost Gold Ring With Diamonds Found In Royal Oak Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Where In The Deck Are The 4 Diamonds?

This pictured gentleman felt he had the cards stacked against him when his ring slipped off while working up on his deck brushing the dog and multitasking to various projects. He tried to climb underneath but kept bumping his head and after almost getting stuck decided he wasn’t playing with a full deck. After speaking with him he decided to play his cards right and have me come out to play the right hand. When I arrived I asked him to lay all his cards out on the table and let me know all the hands he played today. After shuffling I decided my ace in the hole was to go a few more cards down from the top of the deck. Sweeping my MXT
under the deck I got a nice +40 read and moving in closer I saw 4 pretty diamonds and a gold band trying to bluff me from behind some gravel and grass. As you can see, he is now holding all the cards and not feeling the situation is a house of cards.
Him and his wife’s hearts are reunited with the diamonds, and we all agreed that holding the right cards doesn’t ensure a win….but the right moves do!

Lost gold ring found at Vanderbilt Beach, Naples, Florida

  • from Marco Island (Florida, United States)

While swimming at Vanderbilt Beach on Sunday 4/22/18, Michele suddenly and unexpectedly felt one of her beautiful 14k gold rings come off her finger.  For nearly two hours dozens of people, some from her group and other swimmers nearby, frantically searched the crystal clear water with masks and snorkels, but could not find the lost ring.  Despite incoming tide and increasing wind and surf, Michele did the right thing, she made note of several reference points and calmly remained in place while others sought help and arranged for location services.  Upon my arrival Michele described the ring and we carefully reviewed reference points, both of which made for a quick and successful recovery.  Notwithstanding use of $3k+ in search equipment, I found the ring within seconds, mere inches from where she was and had remained standing.  A picture is worth a thousand words…

Lost engagement ring, Port Orange, Fl…..Found!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Jennifer was enjoying a cool afternoon walk along her favorite grassy back road and thinking about how loose her engagement ring felt on her finger. As she walked along she was thinking, I wonder if my ring would come off if I shook my hand a bit and sure enough, the motion was enough to send her ring off into the thick grass! Shocked at what just happened, she immediately stopped and tried searching through the grass, desperate to recovery her now, lost ring! After searching for several hours she realized she needed to at least mark the spot and by using her foot she scuffed a bare spot on the grassy road and then went to her truck to find something to better mark the area. All she could find was a machete and some red surveyors tape, so she returned to the mark and stuck the machete into the ground along side of the road directly across from the bare spot. She then called her fiancee and together they talked about renting or buying a cheap metal detector. Later they went on Google and typed in « Metal Detection Professionals » and up came theringfinders.com. Jennifer gave me a call and we met later on that afternoon and drove out to the unique machete marker along side of the road. I set out four flags and began my grid search and did not walk more than 5 steps before I got a really nice signal on my Whites DFX metal detector. Because the grass was so thick I decided to use my Garrett Pro Pointer and there was Jennifer’s lost engagement ring! I motioned for Jennifer to come pick up what I had located and you talk about one happy young lady! Here’s what Jennifer wrote two days later. « While out walking,my favorite ring fell off my finger and even though I knew the location where it fell off, I was unable to find the ring after several hours of looking through the tall grass. I contacted Mike after finding his information on the internet and he responded as soon as he was able. Mike asked a few questions, set up a boundary and started looking. And within minutes of him arriving at the site, my ring was found!! I am so grateful to Mike for his help and my fiancee and I would like to give him a big thanks! Again thanks so much! »
