Engagement Ring Lost in The Sabattus, Maine Snow, Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

I received the following text, on Friday, January 31st, 2025

“Hello. My daughter lost her engagement ring in our driveway under snow. Can you help to locate? What is approximate charge?
I live in Sabattus Maine. I have the area near my driveway and lawn about 10×30 area identified. No trees Or obstacles”.

I replied

“Hello, So sorry to hear this. When was the ring lost?
I do not charge for my time or service. I do however have a Transportation Fee. This is to cover my gas, tolls, wear and tear etc..
I will tell you that I am not available today. I will be able to go up there, 1st thing tomorrow morning.
I have 3 appointments today, including a Physical Therapy session, after my recent left knee replacement”.

His reply
“Ring lost Wednesday two days ago. We sifted thru the snow, melted it in house tub but found nothing. I would like your help to check area by car in driveway? Tomorrow is fine”.

I then asked for some more information, his name, address and what the metal was that the ring was made of.
Gary N****** is his name and the ring was 14K White Gold. I told Gary we would be up around 9:00am and I would bring some test rings, to set the detectors up with and to show them how metal detecting works.

Saturday morning, Gary Hill picked me up at 7:45am and we made the approximately 1 hour drive to Sabattus, just a little northeast of Lewiston, Maine and Auburn, Maine. I still have not been cleared to drive, after my recent Total Left Knee Replacement and with Gary driving, it was all good. I am very close to being cleared and hopefully be driving again, soon. Until then, I’ll follow Dr’s orders. It was still snowing as we drove to Sabattus and with the stiff winds, the temperature was only 4 degrees. So glad we have all of our cold weather gear as who knows how long we will need to search.

Once we arrived at the search area, in Sabattus, Gary Hill and I were met by Gary N. and his daughter, Samantha. Gary Hill had already turned his detector on, and searched the driveway, as we walked, up the driveway. I was talking to Samantha and her Father and they were
Explaining that Samantha had been cleaning the snow, off of her car, Wednesday morning, after the overnight snowstorm. Samantha was standing next to her car , shaking the snow, off her hands, when she felt the ring go flying off her finger. She was uncertain, as to which way the ring went flying but was confident the Engagement Ring, was somewhere, on the front lawn, not to far from the vehicle, she was cleaning off.
As Samantha was telling me the circumstances, leading up to the ring being lost, Gary Hill had been searching the area, approximately 6 feet out from the car and as he took a step closer, to the car, Gary had a very nice signal on his VDI screen, reading 12. A definite low conductor and Gary said the tone sure sounded like gold. As we watched on, Gary moved some snow away, with his hands and pinpointer. Then, THERE IT WAS, the engagement ring was clearly visible to all of us. Smiles broke out, happy tears were flowing and all in less than 5 minutes. I never even turned my detector on and the ring was back with Samantha, where it belongs.
Samantha then told us that she recently became engaged, back in October, while on a trip to The Grand Teton National Park, in Wyoming. Samantha’s fiancé had even had the proposal videotaped, under the guise of videotaping some animals. Samantha was totally surprised and unaware of the proposal and it was all caught on camera, to watch over and over again. Samantha also told us that her fiancé, designed, this very special ring.
Gary Hill and I are extremely happy to have been able to help Samantha, in her time of need and to see her smile and happy tears as she put the ring, back on her finger. There is no better feeling than to see the smiles on the faces of our clients. Samantha will now be in The Ring Finders of Maine, “Book of Smiles”, forever. Gary and I wishing Samantha and her fiancé a wonderful wedding and marital blessings ❤️🙏

Found Cell Phone Deep in Snowbank

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

1/31/25

Got a call from a teenager’s dad last night. The night before, his daughter had rushed out to move her car so the snow plow guy could do their driveway. Her phone was in her pj bottom’s pocket at the time. She went back inside and realized her phone was missing. By then, the phone had been plowed into a snowbank somewhere.

They tried calling it, digging around with shovels and even borrowed a low quality metal detector. They gave up and found my number. We made arrangements for me to go there after work today.

So, with my brand new detector in hand, I got started. In about 3 minutes I got a good signal. There was her phone, elbow deep in the snow. The detector found its first target, very impressive! A very happy teenager, who was without her phone for 2 days!!!
Such an awesome hobby :))

TEACHER’S RETIREMENT SAVINGS TURNED INTO GOLD BARS LOST IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)

I got a call the other day from Cecily, she was referred to me by mr Lin, who I had helped last weekend in the Palisades fire on Friday find some lost valuables, she explained that her  85 years old father who is a retired school teacher just cashed out his retirement account and put the majority of the money into gold bars. He put the  them all in a shoes box and put them on the top shelf of his closet, and there they sat until the apartment building burned to the ground in the Palisades fire. I met with Cecily near one of the police checkpoints  and followed her to where her mother and father’s home used to be, after putting on the hazmat suit, gloves and mask, I walked up the cement stairs  to the corner of the house where she thought the closet used to be, after about an hour of moving heavy metal and cutting through drywall chicken wire, I started sifting through the ash and debris, Cecily started give up hope, after another hour or so I shoveled  about 5 shovelfuls into the top screen, I paused and my eyes first caught the rectangular shapes, then there they were the glitter of gold. I called Cecily over, I pointed in the screen, and she said what is that, I smiled and said your father’s retirement fund, she screamed and cried, and called her parents right away with the good news, I kept digging and found 30 solid gold bars in total, everything that he had lost. My parents were both teachers, and I know what unsung heroes they were, so reuniting  these gold bars with her dad and saving  his  retirement meant a great deal to me as well as him and his family.

Lost Gold Wedding Ring Found in Spring Hill Tennessee

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

I received a phone call from Gabriel on 01-28-2025. Gabriel explained that yesterday he was throwing some bird food (old bread) into an empty field across the street from his house, and he felt his gold wedding band fly off his hand and surely land in the field

. He and his family members spent hours scouring the vacant lot, which was mostly muddy with patches of weeds. Gabriel and his wife were heading out of town, but he put me in contact with his mother-in-law, Leisa. I made the 45 minute drive to Gabriel’s house and was met there by Leisa. She showed me the general area where she thought Gabriel was standing when he threw the bread into the field. There were still pieces of bread in the field to show the direction Gabriel threw.

I searched the field for just over an hour with only a few coin and can slaw pieces, along with extremely mud caked boots to show for it.

After getting the mud off my boots I walked across the street to Gabriel’s front yard. I searched the side to the left of the driveway, and nothing. I went to the side to the right of the driveway, and a few minutes later I got that signal in my headphones that told me, “You found me!” Yes! There it was, concealed by the lush green grass. No digging needed.

I called Leisa back to Gabriel and her daughter’s home. With a straight face I told her that there was no way that Gabriel’s ring was in the field. I told her I searched well beyond the borders where the ring would have landed and didn’t find it. Leisa had a bummed look on her face. I told Leisa I ran my detector over the grass in the front yard, and held the ring up and asked if this looked like Gabriel’s ring. That sad face turned into the biggest smile and may have even brought a few tears of joy. She explained that Gabriel’s wedding ring had been blessed before he married her daughter, and the ring meant so much to them.

Leisa called Gabriel, who was driving out of state and told them the great news. She had them on speaker phone so I could hear the excitement myself. Meeting wonderful people in my beautiful new home state of Tennessee and re-uniting them with their lost treasures is a great thing. It doesn’t get much better.

Gold and Diamond Wedding Band Lost On Job Site Near Punta Gorda, Fl…Found With Metal Detector!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)

Taylor was working with his buddies Donald and Matthew on a job site building a new fence. The site was next to a fire station that serves the town of Babcock Ranch, Fl. which is the first solar powered town in the United States and located near Punta Gorda. Taylor was clearing some brush and tossing it into a pile when at some point he realized that his gold and diamond wedding band appraised at about $4000 that he had only had for about eight months had flown off of his finger into the brush and grass. He and his friends searched for the ring two days including raking the grass and cut brush as well as using an inexpensive metal detector but were unable to find his ring. Taylor began searching on line for some help, found me on social media and called me. I normally travel no more than an hour or so from Dunedin in the Tampa area to conduct searches and Babcock Ranch was a little over two hours from my home but I decided to drive down to see if I could recover Taylor’s ring. I also had another search I could do for a lost gold charm on the return home.

I met Taylor at the site, fired up the Minelab Equinox 900, and began the search under Taylor’s direction. I swept a grassy, weedy area next to the fire station in a grid fashion and worked my way towards a very low concrete wall where the fence was being constructed on the other side. I detected some scrap metal pieces including a few screws and washers as well as several rusty pennies over the course of about an hour and even though I had an idea of the VDI number I was looking for on my detector, I was going to dig every surface or near surface target. Taylor and his friends continued to work and watch at the same time especially when I was digging a target. I could tell that Taylor was beginning to get a little concerned because the primary search area was not very large and I was almost finished. I then detected a strong surface target over a  cut grassy area that displayed 36-37 on my Nox 900. I pushed away the loose grass with my pinpointer and there lay Taylor’s shiny ring staring back at me! I called to Taylor who was working close by and told him to come over. He stared down at the ring with a look of surprise and disbelief and then all four of us began to celebrate. Taylor then called Katie who had given him the ring and she was overjoyed with the news. And they are expecting their first child!

Taylor, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find your wedding ring! It was a pleasure meeting you, Donald and Matthew. Matt, good luck with your fishing charter business Southwest Shorelines!

Wedding ring found after clearing snow from a Tesla in Emmaus, Pennsylvania

  • from Reading (Pennsylvania, United States)

After clearing snow from his car without gloves on, Troy shook off his hands and his wedding ring went flying off into the snow. He first tried finding it himself with a metal detector from Harbor Freight, but was getting all kids of interference. He found me on Theringfinders.com and after a few days of scheduling conflicts, I was finally able to arrive and search with my Garrett ATPro detector. I also was getting a lot of interference, and realized I was near his Tesla which was plugged in. I had him move his car from the driveway and the interference subsided. I eventually found the ring alongside a tree in the snow. If your in need of metal detectorist, don’t hesitate to call me at 610-207-8677.
