Two Lost Gold Rings – Found by metal detectorist Brian Carpenter in Avonmore, PA

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

The recent « Polar Votex » or just plain COLD weather prompted a series of service calls in just one day which is very unusual. One of the calls was from Vicki who called me and stated that she had lost her ring in the snow when she put it down to run a metal detector over it. They were trying to find an engagement ring that had been lost by another family member earlier in the day when cleaning off her car.  I was just wrapping up another search with disappointingly – no luck. With the cold and darkness Vicki thought it might be good for me to come out another day. I told her I would swing by hoping to have at least one quick recovery as I was going to pass within about 5 miles of the place they were lost on my way home from the current search.

On my way I was thinking how hard can it be to find the ring that was put in the snow, they should pretty much know where it was. I figured I would have a quick recovery of Vicki’s ring and then maybe with some additional luck find the other. I arrived at the search location and found that area in which the ring had been located was pretty much bare. Prior to searching the internet for additional help they tried to sift through all the snow with a garden soil screen and used a heater to melt the snow. All of the snow from where the second ring was lost had been put into garbage cans and dumped alongside the house.

I started to look without much success, first over the original area and then where the new snow was dumped. I did have a really sweet sound but there was nothing there or so I thought. I was not having much luck and after having been in and out of the cold for several hours and with the darkness I decided I would need to come back. As I was getting ready to pack my gear I decided I should pull my car up and check the street again in case the plow came by before I came back out. I walked down and back and on my way back got a good hit. I dug into the packed snow and found the first ring that had been lost.

I got back in the car to head home with the promise of coming back out to look for the other ring. Glad to have found one although it was not the one I thought I would have located first. As I started home I couldn’t help but notice the car thermometer read -3.

The next day I contacted Vicki and told her I did not think I was going to be able to come out, however a couple of things changed and I was able to go back down. I was pretty confident that in the daylight I should be able to find the second ring. Well I was right…within about five minutes I located the ring. Remember the sweet sound I mentioned from the night before. I wanted to remove it from the ground so I would not keep hearing it. I had to dig down about a 1/8 -1/4 of an inch under the ground and there in the mud was Vicki’s ring. The ring must have gotten tramped into the ground during the moving and melting of the snow, but I had been expecting to find it on top of the ground.

I was glad to have found both rings – one that had a history of 48 years and the other that had one of just 34 days. It was great to meet another group of kind and generous people and find the first rings of 2025!

LOST JEWELRY & COIN COLLECTION IN PALISADES FIRE FOUND & RETURNED.

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

 

I got a call from Scott who lost his home and all the family’s possessions about two weeks ago to see if I could help him find his wife’s jewelry and his coin collection. Today was one of the first days that the property owners were allowed back to the Palisades since the fire began on January 7th. We met in Santa Monica. When I followed him into the first national guard checkpoint on PCH in the Palisades then had to go to through another sheriffs  checkpoint and wait one hour for an escort to the fired zone. After a quick explanation of the lost valuables I put on my protective gear and began the search with in two hours of sifting through the ash and debris I found at least 200 silver coins, then we moved on to search for his wife’s jewelry but the debris was larger and had to be tossed aside before I could start sifting again, within 45 mins time frame I found over 25 pieces of Scott’s wife’s jewelry consisting of rings, bracelets, chains, brooches, earings and a couple of jade pendants. Luckily I was able to use my 30 years of experience with fire recovery to help this nice but devastated family be reunited with some of their family heirlooms.

Ring Lost While Sledding: Recovered by Rob Ellis, Fairfax, VA.

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

It was the first time Eugenio had seen snow. His wife and another couple decided to have some fun sledding on the Fairfax George Mason Campus. At some point, Eugenio noticed his platinum and gold wedding band was missing. He contacted me and the next day we set up a search. Eugenio got permission from the GMU police, and we met at the campus station. The short drive to the hill and walk to the sledding area seemed much longer because it was only 30 degrees Fahrenheit! I wanted to search for the ring before more sledders arrived and the ring was pushed deeper into the muck.

The hill had three sides the couples used for sledding. Metal detecting up and down the slopes was challenging, and the cold wind was brutal. I could sense Eugenio’s despair that we might not find his ring. Finally, at the base of the last search area, I heard a beautiful sounding target with my Equinox 900. I scrapped down a couple of inches to confirm and then called Eugenio over to pick up his beautiful ring.

Found Here!

Wedding Ring Found – Clayton!

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

We don’t get much snow here in this part of NC, so two small snows in the span of about 10 days was pretty unusual. Even more unusual was the call I got from Alex, who had lost his wedding ring while sledding! Alex’s neighborhood has some hills, but unfortunately his property isn’t situated the right way, so he was sledding on a neighbor’s property. After one of the sledding runs, his hands were wet and when he shook the water off, the ring made a quick exit onto the hillside. Alex had secured a metal detector to try and find the ring himself, but had not had any luck; at that point, he contacted me. To his credit, he made a note of several nearby visible features, so when he took me to the area where he thought the ring would/should be, I had a solid starting point based on his landmarks.

The grass was similar to what you’d find on a golf course fairway, and being wintertime, it was all brown. It only took 15 minutes or so to locate the ring, which was — surprisingly! — very close to where he thought it had come off. The ring had fallen through the dead layer of grass and was sitting flat on the soil, maybe 3 inches below the top of the grass. Those of us on TheRingfinders joke that « it’s never where they think it is », so it was refreshing to find Alex’s lost ring quickly and easily. The sooner I can get the lost item back to the owner, the better. Another happy ending!

Keys Found in Snowbank in Ada, MI.

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:
Got a call from Samatha that she lost her car key and a mailbox key.  She was walking from her garage to her apartment when she thinks she dropped the keys.  The trouble was that it was snowing at that time and the plow driver came thru shortly after and plowed the entire parking lot.  I arrived last night at 9PM to search for the keys, searching the inside of her car and the route she took back to her apartment-no luck.  I told her I would be back tomorrow to do a more thorough search.  Arrived today around 1:00PM, much warmer.  The key tech arrived at about the same time to make her a new car key and Samatha and Buddy(her dog) came out to meet us.  I told her I was going to search the big snow pile first and she went on to talk to the key tech.  I got to the second side of the snow pile and got a screaming hit on the metal detector.  Dug down about a foot in the snow and there were her keys.  Somebody had to be watching down on us.
Walked over to her holding the keys in the air and she almost fainted.  Now she only needed a spare key from the key guy.
