Retirement Ring Found Three Years Later in Swansea, MA

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

Maureen called me recently about a lost ring.  Her brother, Jack, lost his Anheuser Bush retirement ring in his backyard about three years earlier.  He had only had the ring a short time and lost it while tossing a football to his son.  Maureen’s niece found me on the internet and suggested that her aunt contact me.  Maureen was hoping to recover the ring as a Christmas gift.  I searched Jack’s backyard for her.  All the while, Maureen held her « good luck charms » and prayed to St. Anthony.  After two hours of searching and digging up lots of pull tabs, I found the ring.  Maureen was so happy to give this gift to her brother.  Jack was thrilled to be reunited with this memento of his years of service to the company.

Lost diamond ring in Emigration Canyon: Found

Contact:

Molly had been engaged for exactly one week when she lost her beautiful 1.5 carat diamond solitaire platinum engagement ring while sledding in Emigration Canyon, above Salt Lake City. She hit a bump, broke her sled, and then lost her glove while sliding through the snow. When she reached the bottom of the hill, her precious ring was gone. Of course, she was devastated. She and her family searched for the ring, but couldn’t find it. After a sleepless night, she found TheRingFinders.com, and called me. She had to fly home the next day, but I was able to meet with her brother, who showed me where they thought the ring was lost. After about an hour of searching, we found the ring about 4 inches down in the packed snow. The family was so excited and relieved to have the beautiful diamond ring back.

Lost ring during Peachland snow removal, found and returned.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Shawn was visiting his parents in Peachland B.C. for the Christmas holiday. We had a heavy snowfall the next day, so Shawn helped his parents move the snow from the backyard and the driveway. On the way home back to Vancouver driving on the mountain road, he had a panic attack when he realized he had lost his ring. The ring meant a lot to Shawn as it was his wedding ring, and his wife still lives in Thailand. When he arrived home his friend said to call The Ringfinders. I responded to his email and told him I would be there the next day. After checking the driveway, I moved out into the roadway and got a signal in the middle of the road. I scraped the snow with my boot and told his parents that I thought I saw a ring, on checking the kicked snow there was his 18k white gold wedding band. Mother was in tears and could not believe it, she immediately phoned her son with the good news. she told me I have have the most honourable job of anybody.

Day after Christmas recovery

  • from Lynnfield (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by a couple who had recently been doing landscaping on a property and lost a gold women’s band with a number of diamonds somewhere on the property.  I met them both at the property and they showed me where they thought the item may have been lost.  They showed me a brush pile where they had been dumping some trimmings.  I had high hopes of finding it there as I’ve had good luck detecting brush piles in the past but unfortunately did not find the item there.  We then moved to an area in the yard where the woman was trimming some trees and I started to get some solid signals.  Unfortunately they were all a bit too deep to contain a ring that had just been lost, so we did not pursue them.  I detected a bit more around the tree and got a really clean sounding shallow signal.  I reached my pinpointer down over the target and it went off loud, indicating the item was very close to the surface.  I scraped off a thin layer of dirt and sure enough there it was.  The best part was the husband happened to be right next to me, watching as I uncovered the ring, and his wife was a few feet away looking in the brush pile.  He yelled to her « Got it!! », and that was a wrap.  They couldn’t have been happier, and after seeing the ring more closely I can see why.

 

They texted me some pictures afterwards along with a nice note:

 

Thank you very much once again.  You totally made our day, our week, our Christmas, our entire year!!!  We cant thank you enough!!!!

 

Hands down my favorite recovery so far!!

Lost Gold Ring Recovered from a Creek on 12-26-2015 in Clayton, N.C.

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

This ring was recovered and returned on 12-26-2015 from a creek in Clayton N.C..

I first talk to the guy who lost it yesterday on 12-25-2015.. He explained he was removing some wood and logs two days ago on 12-23-2015 when a log had snagged the ring on his finger and pulled the ring off causing it to fall into the creek.

I agreed to meet him at 10:00 AM today to help make the recovery. When I got there we spoke a few minutes and filled out some forms before the search began. He then took me to the place where he lost the ring and I began my search. Within 5 minutes I had found the ring in just a couple feet of water and it was about 6 inches down buried in the sand on the bottom. The  reason the ring had got buried so fast was the past couple days we had a lot of rain and flood waters here in the area causing it to sink faster in the sand on the bottom..

I was very happy to help in the recovery and as you can see from the pics they were very happy to get it back..

Its always a pleasure when I can help others out in there recoveries..

Deceased Mother’s Ring Found in Gloucester Twp NJ

My wife received a message, in late September, from a friend who has been reading some of my recovery stories. Apparently her mom, who passed away late last year, lost a gold ring about this time last year. Her mom insisted that it was lost near the driveway at her house. She asked if I could look for it.

I am always up for a new search. I had some time to spare this week so I got the address for her dad’s house and packed my truck with 3 detectors and assorted other necessities.

I arrived at the house and it looked like no one was home. I started to search the very thick Zoysia grass. I was thinking to myself that there is no way a ring could penetrate this carpet, it would just sit on top.

I searched the area and received 2 possible targets. I moved the grass around to see if the ring was under the grass. Nope I marked them both to check after I finished the area, because it would take a little work to look in the ground with the thick root system of the Zoysia.

After finishing the search of the area I went to the first mark. Carefully with out destroying the grass I was able to probe and pop out a nickle. I was about 2 inches down in the dirt. After the recovery I fixed the ground & no one will ever know that the ground was disturbed.

I went to the 2nd target that I marked. I was probing the area with a 10 inch flat head Craftsman screw driver that I use a a probe. After a few tries I hit something that wasn’t a root. I tried to pop the target out of the ground, no luck. I then dug a very small hole in the dirt. I see the sparkle of GOLD. It was the ring, but it was intertwined in thick roots of the Zoysia. With in a minute I had the ring in my possession. I was amazed at how deep the ring was in the dirt after only being there about 1 year.

I fixed the ground and you can’t tell that anyone was there. I took the ring home, and cleaned it up. I took a few pictures and then sent a text with just the picture to Denise. I got a message back saying “OMG!I Love u!!! Ur making me cry!!!”

The whole searching of the area and the recovery of the ring only took about 10 minutes. It took longer to pack my truck…

A post from Denise:

If you don’t believe in miracles then read this!!! I appreciate
Dave finding it more than he’ll ever know. It’s an only child ring – my stone is in the middle and my parents’ stone on either side then my mom added each of the boys’ stones. I want her to be buried with it but I guess she wanted me to have it.2015-09-27 14.26.01Paint

Lost Gold Ring Near Strathcona Farmers Market Edmonton, Alberta

Michael  called me this morning to see if I would be available to help him find his lost gold ring. It belonged to his father and was of huge sentimental value to him. I told him I would be there in forty five minutes.

Michael had been checking his parking meter to see how much time he had left, lost his balance, and felt the ring fly off his finger but had no idea in which direction it had gone.  He thought it ended up on the Church property and had spent a couple of hours with his friends looking for it with no luck.  He had even had the Edmonton Police with a hand held detector looking for him.

I did a quick search of the area but did not find the ring so I decided to check the street.  With all the traffic, I had to dodge cars, and I felt my chances were slim that I would find it.  I did detect a tone, which  turned out to be a pop can.  I swung my coil again and only inches away from the pop can I heard the same tone again. Packed in about 2 inches of snow was the ring in perfect condition.  Considering that he had lost the ring 3 days prior, and all the traffic on that street, he was very, very fortunate.

Another Happy Client! Thank you Michael for your generous reward.

Ring recovered in Munith, Michigan

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)

IMG_1635 IMG_1658 IMG_1660I feel like the postman today, neither rain, sleet or snow will stop me from finding a lost ring. Andrew D. called me last week when the temperature in Michigan was a balmy 60 degrees. Andrew and his family live in a rural area of mid Michigan on a very old farm. He said he lost his platinum wedding band in his yard while walking from his barn to the house.  It was about a 20 square foot area but after hours of searching he couldn’t find it. I emailed Andrew back an said I could make it out on Thursday when it was still nice out and easier to search. After a couple days Andrew suggested he would be home on Friday December 18 so I said okay. Friday was the coldest and snowiest day this year, on the 100 mile journey to his house we started out through snow flurries and then arriving was cold and light snow. My hunting partner Dave Boyer and I got out our detectors and set up a grid. We thought we would do something different, thinking that the ring must be close to the surface and maybe stepped on when Andrew was searching, we gave Andrew our pin pointer. When we got a hit we had Andrew search with the pointer, this way he would be the one to recover the ring. Sure enough after about 10 minutes Andrew dug up the ring from a hit that we got. He was very happy with our service. After some conversation and photos, we headed home. From the photo above you can see that the flurries turn to ice on the roads and 3 hours later at sometimes a dead stop to 5 mph we made it home. As Chris T. always says « I love my job ».
