Yvette’s 14 karat white gold and multiple diamond cross that item recovery specialist Brian Rudolph recovered for his client in one second!

Yvette and Richard express their excitement for the amazing recovery of the couple’s very sentimental crucifix which was given by Richard 24 years earlier.

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (also known as THE RING HERO) searches  Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses and Vehicles. He Will Find Your Lost Item! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Yvette is a teacher in Darnstown, Maryland. During recess, one of her students ended up breaking Yvette’s gold chain off of her neck. As a result, a very special 14 karat white gold and multiple diamond cross (which her husband had given her 24 years earlier) went missing somewhere on the playground. The chain and three charms were eventually recovered but when Yvette and her staff searched for the missing pendant, all of their efforts led to no avail.

Yvette was heartbroken over the loss of her special crucifix. She immediately called her husband Richard for help and he heroically drove to the school with a metal detector hoping to find the lost piece of jewelry. After an hour of searching, Yvette’s husband threw in the towel and it was time to look for another solution.

I received a phone call from Yvette shortly after Richard had finished using the metal detector that he acquired to conduct their own search. They looked online and found my company, METAL DETECTING ADVENTURES INC which highlighted my successes in an elite directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS. I was excited to be asked to come to the search site to see if I could solve the mystery of the missing pendant!

When I arrived at the elementary school, I was greeted by Yvette, Richard and 20 excited children who were part of an after-school program. They were beyond intrigued to see if this item recovery specialist who was hired to save the day might possibly find Yvette’s beloved diamond cross.

I gathered up the necessary metal detecting equipment in my vehicle and then headed over to the search site with my client. The Bar-T children excitedly waited outside of the fenced in area of the tot lot in order to let the professional do his miracle work. And boy did a miracle happen!

As soon as I entered into the playground area, I asked my client where the three charms were recovered after the necklace was torn off of her neck Yvette pointed to the concrete sidewalk on the other side of the fenced-in area where all of the restless children were watching and waiting. I put my head over the fence and looked straight down where the children were hanging out. Literally within a second’s time, my eyes immediately locked in on Yvette’s missing 14 carat white gold and diamond cross! I couldn’t believe it! In one second I recovered my client’s beloved crucifix! I quickly and excitedly pointed directly at the discovered sentimental keepsake and yelled, « There it is! » All of the children including my clients looked straight down at where I was pointing and yet no one at first saw what I had identified! And then a moment later there was an eruption of cheers and excitement as I made my way through the playground gate in order to retrieve the little gold treasure that had been patiently waiting to be recovered! There it was… Yvette’s very special jewel! The search was over before it had officially begun!

Yvette’s beautiful diamond crucifix had been lying right there in the middle of the concrete that entire time since it was lost hours earlier that day! Countless adults and children had walked right over it and no one had any idea that the white gold and multiple diamond pendant had been resting there all along!

I have to admit that in all of the years of recovering hundreds of pieces of jewelry and other highly valued items for people, I have never found an item this quick before! What a fun « eyeball » recovery search indeed! The kids went crazy! I hugged my clients with jubilation and joy while many of the children extended their hands for countless fist pumps and high fives!

I will never forget this particular search story because this was a very rare situation. While I returned the metal detecting equipment to my vehicle, Yvette and Richard shared the amazing moment with teachers who opened up their windows on the second floor of the school just to find out what the commotion was all about! They too couldn’t believe where I located the cross!

As a metal detectorist and item recovery specialist, these are the kind of stories that continue to bring me great joy when sharing them with countless others who need the kind of hope and relief that I was able to successfully extend to my very happy clients, Yvette and Richard!

FAMILY HEIRLOOM RING FOUND IN WATERFALL

  • from Carmel (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

LOST RING, CARMEL, IN

I had recently moved to Carmel, IN, and was itching to take on my next ring recovery. Not long after, I received a call from Dylan, who had lost no ordinary wedding ring. It had belonged to his grandfather, who had it crafted from the wedding rings of his own parents, Dylan’s great-grandparents. Generations of family history were tied into this single band. The ring slipped off at Hueston Woods State Park in Ohio, beneath a small waterfall pool where family and friends were escaping the heat.

The moment the ring was lost was chaotic and memorable. A group of kids upstream had been exploring the shallow river when they spotted a water snake and began chasing it, right toward the parents. The snake splashed into the pool, prompting a quick scramble to the surface. After nearly escaping, Dylan realized his ring was missing. Devastated, he returned the following week with a rented metal detector; however, his search was interrupted by the same snake!

Recovering the ring wouldn’t be simple. Since the ring had been lost in a state park where metal detecting is typically prohibited, I first contacted park staff and received written permission. I began the search in the pool and quickly realized I wouldn’t be able to dig due to the shale rock bottom. I had to resort to diving with a mask and retrieve every signal by hand. After several dives and plenty of lures, coins, and bits of trash, no ring was in sight. Near the edge of the pool, the detector finally gave a strong signal. I lifted a large flat stone, and there it was!

Handing the ring back to Dylan and seeing the relief on his face is something I will never forget. Recoveries like this remind me that sometimes we return more than a lost ring. We return a piece of a family’s story.

Lost Wedding Rings Recovered at Carpinteria State Beach – Dave The RingFinder Strikes Again!
Early Sunday morning, Alesha texted me in a panic—she’d lost her platinum wedding rings while camping with family at Carpinteria State Beach. She’d safely tucked them in her pocket near the firepit, but when heading back to the van, they were gone. Another detectorist had already spent 30 minutes searching the campsite and found nothing—but Alesha was certain they were there. I arrived ready to grid the firepit area (notorious for metal trash like pull tabs and bottle caps). Platinum rings give a specific tone and ID on my detector, so I knew exactly what to hunt for, even masked by junk. Just 3 minutes in, a solid tone rang out—I scooped with my CKG sand scoop, and her diamond engagement ring popped out! Cheers erupted from the growing crowd of campers. Pressure on, I switched angles, hunting east-to-west, then 90 degrees north-to-south. A clipped tone with a 10 ID led to the scoop—and there was her wedding band, tangled with a pull tab! Alesha left Carpinteria State Beach overjoyed, heading home to San Diego with both rings back on her finger.

Lost Custom Wedding Ring near Lincoln Heights…Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

There once was a happy couple named Kassidy and Brian. They walked joyfully around a bike park while their kids rode their bikes. They sat for a while on a bench. Then they walked around the paths in the park and lastly headed back to their car. The days errands needed to be completed, so off to the grocery store they went. Then they returned back to their house. Kassidy had to begin working on the chores. Back and forth she went from left to right, walked all the while keeping a steady pace through each task. There were pumpkins to move, leaves to pile up, grumpy kids to tend to and then lastly a shovel to find. As Kassidy was walking with her shovel she could feel the coolness of the day creep into her hands. Nevertheless, Kassidy kept on working. Cleaning the chicken run, feeding and watering, and new bedding in the nesting boxes. The last step of putting fresh bedding in the nesting area caused another feeling to creep in. The last handful of wood shavings that she was throwing into the box, gave her a familiar feeling. Kassidy’s ring was gone. The fact of the matter was this wasn’t the first time that ring had fallen off. In fact, she knew the very sound it made when it would fall off of her hand and hit the ground. This time was different; the not so happy couple hadn’t the foggiest idea of where it came off at.

The story I normally tell is that the person who lost an item finds me and then I try to find their item. For this story that isn’t how it went. See I got a call at work, it was from one of my colleagues, he had a question about my metal detecting skills. One of his friends had told him about his wife losing her ring. After a day with no contact, I spoke to my colleague about the situation. After a few texts from my colleague to his friend, I got a call from the friend, Brian. We talked and I got the details of where I would search first. So off to the park where the happy couple started their day. After showing up to the park, the evening had come to a close. I had a head lamp but searching in the dark was hard. There were pits and jumps everywhere, I didn’t find the ring there.

After that search, Brian and I talked about meeting up on Saturday. When I arrived in the morning to Brian and Kassidy’s house, I was taken on a tour of their property. Kassidy had been really busy and shown me everywhere the ring could have fallen off. Which was almost anywhere she had walked because the ring would fall off her finger without a forceful action. The tour ended and I asked her where she thought the ring could have fallen off. Her mind told her that it was most likely the chicken coop area. The nesting box was small, so I got out my pin pointer and searched the wood shavings. The next place I thought to look was the bag she had been pulling the shavings out of. At no point did I assume I would find the ring, because the couple had done all they could do to back track her movements. I used my pin pointer on the top of the shavings and then brought the bag out to a clear area to scan it with my metal detector. Swinging the coil around the bag I didn’t get any signals. However, when I tipped the bag over a very clear signal came out of my headphones. I checked the VDI number and saw a 12 on the screen. Thinking the ring was white gold I bent down to take a closer look. The ring was in the bag. I couldn’t believe it. I was thinking there was just a very slim chance this ring was somewhere on their property. But now I was standing over its hiding place wondering if I should surprise the couple. Walking with the bag in hand over to the front door, I thought I would ask for a demonstration from Kassidy on how she was grabbing the shavings out of the bag. Brian went and got Kassidy, and she gladly showed me what she did. The bags opening was facing up and the ring was down away from Kassidy, so I tipped the bag over to reveal the ring sitting inside the bag. Kassidy was in complete shock when she stuck her hand into the bag and retrieved the ring. I was also in shock that the ring was so well hidden inside the bag that it spent two weeks in there without being found. The ring back on Kassidy’s finger and the warm embrace of the couple hugging brought the happiness back to the couple and so concludes a Ring Finders happy ending.

Lost ring in yard, Geneva Florida, Found with a metal detector by ring finder, Mike McInroe.

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)

Mr John had recently lost some weight and his platinum wedding ring was needing some resizing…so off to the jeweler they went. When they got home, Mr John thought he had enough time to mow one half of the front yard so he uncovered his riding mower and started cutting. There are a couple of areas where the tree branches hang down really close to the ground and as he mowed he had to push the branches aside. An hour later, while getting a drink, he noticed his wedding ring was not on his finger and the most obvious thing he could think of was that it must have come off while he was mowing! For two days he and his wife would walk through the yard with flashlights at night or during high noon when the sun was directly overhead with hopes of spotting his lost ring. For 46 years John and his wife have been married and the thought of never seeing his ring again was very troubling. Thinking there had to be some kind of service that involved a metal detector, he went online and found theringfinders.com and one of my stories. I agreed to come out and look at John’s yard and realized right away that this would be no easy task…because John’s yard was VERY LARGE! As I listened to John explain his routine when mowing I saw the low hanging branches and figured I would check those areas first off and BINGO! On the 2nd area I heard the sweet sound of gold and saw the glint of shiny Platinum! As John bent down to retrieve his once lost and now found wedding ring…I noticed a few tears welling up in his eyes and I could not help but feel a twinge of the same emotions in my own heart! John was so happy and the relief was obvious!

Lost Ear Ring in yard during Party

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a young man in a panic.  He lost his « Diamond » Ear Ring in the front yard of his Aunt’s house at a Halloween Party.  They were taking photos of the really cool Grave Site display in the front yard.  He lifted his girlfriend on to his shoulders and they took some fun photos, then he sat her back down and they walked across the yard and he realized the Diamond Ear Ring was gone.  Their pictures showed he had it on when his girlfriend was on his shoulders,  but in a 2nd picture across the yard the Ear Ring was gone.  He said everyone ate the party was on their hands and knees trying to find it for over an hour.  He and his girlfriend had tried using 3 different metal detectors but with no luck.

So in a last ditch effort before the yard guys came out he turned to the Internet to see if anyone did this kind of searching and immediately the Dallas Ring Finders popped up.  We arrived the next afternoon.  Fortunately he had a matching Ear Ring we were able to get a signal to match too.  After searching the yard with our Garrett AT Pro’s running on their highest sensitivity we had no luck.   So we had to get out our secret weapon our « Garret Super Sniper Coil » that is designed for very tiny objects.  After getting a matching reading on the 2nd Ear Ring we were about to give up searching, I decided to check the prime target area one more time and I got a matching signal.  Using our Garrett Pinpointer I worked it into the very thick grass and I saw the glint and I knew I had it.  And the rest is happy history…..
