Gold Pendant Lost in Bettendorf…Found

  • from Bettendorf (Iowa, United States)
Contact:

Cristina was enjoying a game of competitive Badminton with her family when she realized that her gold pendant was missing from the chain around her neck.  Her pendant has a very nice story behind it, so the whole family searched the yard trying to locate it, but ultimately they could not find it.  Cristina’s husband has a matching pendant in silver, so finding the lost item would mean the world to her.  Cristina found « The Ring Finders » online and I received a call from her to come out and search for her lost pendant.  I informed Cristina that I would be out to do the search the next afternoon as it worked best for both of our schedules.

The next afternoon I arrived at Cristina’s house and was greeted by her and four of her young children who were very enthusiastic about me looking for their mom’s lost pendant.  It was very cute how they set up a blanket on the ground and ate snacks and watched me as I searched.  I worked my typical grid pattern in the most probable area for the lost pendant, and I would find little items that I would hand off to the girls.  Within an hour of searching I got a hit with my Equinox 800 that sounded really good.  My Pro-Pointer handheld located the missing pendant that was pressed gently into the soil after a recent mowing.

I asked the girls who were watching me if their mom could show me a picture of the pendant.  We went to the house to talk with their mom, and Cristina brought down her husband’s pendant to show me.  It was at this point that I produced her pendant and said that it looks just like the one I found in her yard.  Cristina was very happy to have her pendant back in her hands, and she was very appreciative of my efforts.

I have to say that this was one of my most enjoyable searches.  Cristina’s family was so nice, and it really was heartwarming to see how close they are with each other.  To top it off, we talked for a while before I left and she and her husband and I have a lot in common with each other.  Thank you for reaching out to me, Cristina.  I was glad to help find your lost pendant.  By the way, those home grown veggies were awesome!

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered Scuba Diving Metal Detecting Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Will was out on his boat with friends enjoying a 90 degree day in Minnesota. A bachelor party for his good friend. They stopped at an island that has crystal clear water, sandy bottom, and is only 3 to 4 deep water. A popular place to cool off on the lake. While in the water, Will felt his wedding ring slip off his finger and only having the ring for 2 weeks, he couldn’t believe he lost it already. Even with the clear water, he & his buddies couldn’t locate the ring. After searching for help on his phone, he came across « theringfinders.com » and called me while he was still out at the island.  I was actually out on another ring search and didn’t get his message until a couple hours later. When I returned his call, he was just bringing his friends back to shore. We made a plan for early the next morning and met up at his boat slip. Will used his GPS mark to anchor us in the area and we planned out a grid search. I searched the area near the boat out to a marker we set and found bottle caps, pull tabs, coins, screws and other trash. After a half hour or so, I was getting no signals in the area. I decided to go a little deeper and start searching right under the boat. I got a nice hit on my Excalibur metal detector, swished away a little sand and there was that beautiful Gold Ring glistening in the sun. Will asked me prior to the search: « what’s the percentage rate that you can find the ring? » I told him that is 100% up to him. If he puts me within 20 feet of the ring, I’ll find it for sure. He put me right on top of it! That’s a first for me and was great on his part. Congrats Will, glad I could help out.

Sorry about the picture quality, I’ve been having issues with my iPhone.

While taking the dog out and engaging in the evening ritual of playing ball with his dog, Tom suddenly felt his class ring fly off.  Despite tracking the direction and sound as it rolled across his driveway, a cursory search revealed no ring.  The next morning out came the rake, still no luck.  Then a metal detector rental which resulted in nothing but more frustration, beeps and no luck.  Then the call came “call Mark for it’s only lost until you call!”  The story continues as the ring is back on his finger.  Equipment and “know how” make all the difference.

Sterling Silver Engagement Ring AND Key Fob Lost In Range Pond State Park, Found With A Metal Detector In Poland, Maine

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

🚨 THE IMPOSSIBLE DOUBLE RECOVERY AT Range Pond State Park! 🚨

Cheryl, Gary, and I love our jobs—we truly have the best job in the world. 🌊

It all started on July 8th when I received a phone call from Vanessa, a Ranger at Range Pond State Park in Poland, Maine … 📞

🔑 A Tourist Stranded & A Rental Car Stuck

The day before, a tourist from Texas had been enjoying the beautiful, serene lake while floating around on an inner-tube style flotation device. 🏖️

Suddenly, disaster struck. His rental car key fob and keys slipped out of his swim trunk pocket and vanished into the water! 😭

To make matters worse:

The Search Area: Vanessa warned me the area he had been swimming in was massive.

🗺️The Stakes: The rental car was still stranded at the park because that was the only set of keys the agency had given him! 🚗🔒

I told Vanessa I would be there as soon as I could pack my gear and drive the one hour to the park. I immediately called Gary Hill for backup, and his response was instant: “On my way, I’ll meet you there!” 🏎️💨

💍 The Plot Thickens: A Second Missing Treasure

When I arrived, the booth attendant was expecting me. She told me Gary had just arrived, but then she dropped a bombshell question:
“Were you told that a few weeks ago, someone lost their silver engagement ring in the lake?” 😮

I had no idea! She told me the park staff still had the owner’s contact info. If we found it, they could return it.I smiled and thought, “Alright then, let’s go find a key fob and an engagement ring. A two-for-one type of deal!” 🎯✨

🗺️ The Grid: Searching a « Football Field » in deep water

When we met up with Vanessa down by the shore, we realized the true scale of the challenge. The search area was larger than a football field! 🏈

Covering an area that size on dry land is tough enough, but doing it in water feels impossible. We knew we would need a miracle to find either item, let alone both. Fortunately, the water was extremely clear with a beautiful sandy bottom, and the lake was nice and warm. ☀️🏊‍♂️

Because a large group of local city summer camp kids was playing near the tourist’s entry point, we had to adjust our boundaries. We used a large tree and a water fountain up on the shore as our east and west markers:

I started out deep near the buoys. 🦺

Gary started mid-water, working eastward slightly to my right.

We began making our grid passes. No keys or engagement ring on the first pass, but the lake was already giving up secrets!

I found a small sterling silver ring with CZ stones, while Gary dug up coins and typical beach trash like pull tabs and foil.🗑️

After a few more passes, I found another ring—this one stainless steel—along with an earring and more coins.

Gary was finding plenty of coins, but no jewelry yet. 🪙

💥 The Miracle Double-Strike!

We had been in the water for about 45 minutes and were almost finished with our first section. As I swung my detector, something about 7 to 8 feet ahead caught my eye. 👀

Amidst the stark white sand, there was a strange black object resting on the bottom. A tree branch? Bark? Trash? 🪵

I kept swinging my coil and advanced toward it. The moment the coil passed over the object, my machine screamed! 🔊

I leaned over in the stomach-deep water to get a closer look. I squinted through the ripples, and my heart stopped—IT WAS THE KEY FOB AND KEYS! Are you kidding me?! 😭🙌

I scooped them up, held them high in the air, and yelled over to Cheryl and Gary. Gary rushed over, grinning from ear to ear as I handed them to him. 🔑🎉

We stood there celebrating for a moment. As we were about to turn and leave the spot, I gave my detector one last casual swing over the exact same area.

BEEP! 🚨
Another target—less than a foot away! I plunged my scoop into the sand, lifted it, and let the white sand sift through the holes, in the scoop. Staring up at me from the bottom of the scoop was a beautiful engagement ring! 💍✨

Seriously!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I hadn’t even taken a single step forward, and I pulled the lost engagement ring from the depths of the lake! I checked inside the band, saw the « 925 » stamp, and knew instantly it was the sterling silver ring lost weeks prior.

Talk about being lucky! The two missing items had ended up less than a foot apart in a massive lake. What are the absolute odds of that? As the saying goes, « Better lucky than good! » 🍀🍀

💌 Grateful Rangers & Happy Owners

Once out of the water, we met up with Vanessa and another ranger named Walter. I actually met Walter the previous year when I recovered a gold ring at the same park!

Walter is a massive fan of The Ring Finders of Maine Facebook page and keeps my business card right in his wallet. He promised us that whenever anyone reports a lost item to the park staff, we will be the very first phone call. Thank you, Walter! 🪪🤝

Vanessa took the recovered treasures straight to the front office to notify the incredibly relieved owners. Later that day, she sent me this wonderful message:

“Thank you so much for coming so promptly. They picked up their keys this afternoon and were very happy and incredibly thankful for your service. It is a great service you provide. So… Thank you and Gary for all you do.” 🥹❤️

Remember: If it matters to you, it matters to us. 🤝⚓

Metal Detector Used to Find Lost Ring in Clarksville TN

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

 

Ryan called me on July 22nd and asked if I would travel from Nashville to his home Clarksville TN to look for his platinum wedding band. He lost it three months ago in his back yard when he was throwing an apple over the back fence for the local deer to eat. Ryan did what many people do and ordered a metal detector online and tried finding his ring with it. He did find some small metal objects buried in his yard, but was unable to locate his ring. I was able to find Ryan’s ring for him in about an hour. Both he and his wife were very happy and excited that Ryan could get the elusive ring back on his finger. Being able to reunite someone with something that is very sentimental to them when they had all but given up hope on ever seeing it again is very rewarding and I enjoy it immensely.
