Platinum Wedding Ring Recovered in Chapel Hill!

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

I got a text from Andrew in Chapel Hill about his lost wedding ring. He’d been playing football with his son in the yard and while practicing a long snap (picture the guy who hikes it to the punter), his ring flew off. He knew exactly when it happened and where, but didn’t know where the ring had gone. In the month since he’d lost it, Andrew had bought an inexpensive metal detector to try and find it himself, but had not found the ring, which is when he called me. After he showed me where and how the ring came to be lost, I searched for about 90 minutes with no luck. I took my own ring, tied a bright orange string to it, and asked Andrew to come out and snap the football several times wearing my ring so I could see where his ring might have gone. After several snaps, we had a good idea of where the ring should have been – unfortunately, the ring wasn’t there. I widened my search area quite a bit and after another hour or so, found the ring almost 90 degrees to the left of where we thought it should have landed.

Andrew and his wife have an anniversary coming up soon and he’s glad he’ll have his ring back where it belongs for that special day. Another happy ending!

Two Gold Wedding Rings Recovered in Siler City!

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

I got a text from Luke, who was vacationing in North Carolina from West Virginia. Quoting from Luke’s original text, « I lost not 1 but 2 wedding bands in the yard at our Airbnb in Siler City ». Apparently Luke lost his ring playing in the yard and someone in the group declared it shouldn’t be that hard to find a ring in the grass. That led to his wife’s ring being tossed out into the grass to show how easy it would be to find, which is how Luke got to the situation he was in. Anyway, Luke and I spoke and he cleared it with the landlord for me to go out and search. He had sent me a map of the backyard and had marked the area where he thought I should search. I found her ring after about an hour and a half (the yard was filled with pop tops, bottle caps, nails, screws, etc.), but it took me probably another 30 minutes to find his ring. I sent Luke this picture of the two recovered rings and we made arrangements for me to ship them back to him in West Virginia. Although I didn’t get to hand the rings to Luke and his wife, it was still a nice recovery and nice long-distance happy ending!

Diamond and Gold Wedding Ring Recovered in Fuquay-Varina

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

I received a call from a nice couple in Fuquay-Varina (about 15 miles from the house) asking me to help find the wife’s wedding ring. The husband said it was in the back yard, which should have been an easy recovery. When I got there, he showed me where the ring had gone:  down a briar-covered hill, behind the back yard. Although they were certain about the direction the ring had gone, they didn’t have a guess on how far it might have traveled. Given that, I started at the top of the hill, working my way down, fighting the briars. After maybe an hour of « briar fighting », I had reached the bottom of the hill, but still no ring. I decided to walk even further out and start to work my way back towards the house, hoping I wouldn’t have to re-search the hill. As soon as I reached what I had chosen as my furthest point, I found the ring easily.

When I climbed back up the hill and returned the ring to the wife, she burst into tears. It’s always good to be able to recover and return a ring, but this one was extra special – another happy ending!

A Lost « Smart Ring » During a Walk in the Park in Eastvale, CA- FOUND!

  • from Corona (California, United States)
Contact:

Lost a ring, necklace, keys, or other metallic object and you know the approximate area? Call or text me IMMEDIATELY (951-415-6007) and don’t buy a cheap metal detector off Amazon that you won’t know how to use.

The first Ringfinder call-out of 2026 started on a wet Friday night, January 2nd. I received a text from Natalia saying she was interested in my services for a ring she lost in a park in Eastvale the night before. She explained it was a Titanium “Oura Smart Ring”. I agreed we’d meet at the park on Saturday.

When I met up with Natalia, she told me she had been walking her dog throughout the park, and at some point she noticed her ring was missing. What is incredible is that the “Smart” ring is just that…SMART. She had an app on her phone and it shows the location of the ring, however she couldn’t locate it. I looked at the app and it showed the ring in a small grassy area next to the baseball diamond. Not being familiar with this type of ring, I Googled what the accuracy of the “Found” app was. It said it could be 10′-15′ from the shown location.
I began a grid search, but after some time, and checking other locations she had been with her dog that night, I found nothing. This was extremely frustrating. As it started raining, I told Natalia I would be back after it stopped. Unfortunately, the rain lasted all of Saturday and Sunday.

On Monday afternoon, I went back to the park to resume the search. I brought a friend as I was confused how a Titanium ring that would have been on the surface, yet maybe hidden in the grass was not being detected by my metal detector. We spent about a half hour searching that same grassy area. All we were finding were coins and junk. A short time later, ringing up as a nail or piece of foil, there was the ring, hiding in the grass! And it was within the area the app on Natalia’s phone said it would be! Pretty SMART! I was probably as happy as Natalia was when I texted her the picture of her ring. The lesson is, never overlook the « trash » settings on your detector.

I met with Natalia on Tuesday to return her ring, and I got to meet « Winston » from that fateful walk in the park!

Lake St.Louis Lost Wedding Band

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I was cleaning the gutters, not wearing gloves (lesson learned) and as I threw the debris, my wedding ring slid off my finger and went with the debris into an area of Ivey. In that environment, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Jeremy Roth of Ringfinders to the rescue. He found the ring along with a few other items overgrown by the ivey. Just in time to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary!

Found Ring in the Snow

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

1/6/26

A couple days ago I got a message from a woman who had lost her gold ring in the snow. A close friend of hers very recently lost her husband, so she asked this friend and her daughter to come over for some good home cooked food and much needed company. They decided to go out and horse around in the snow and have a little snowball fight. In the process she lost her ring. Her poor friend was feeling guilty because she had lost her ring.

So last night I went over, she showed me the area and I got started. It was very easy to see where they had been playing because of their tracks in the snow. Being an old house, with lots of activity over the last 200 years, the ground was full of signals. In about 20 minutes, after checking many targets, I got a good signal. There was her ring about 5 inches down in the snow. She was relieved and I’m sure her friend will be happy as well. So nice to have a good result for the first search of the new year!

Beautiful gold heirloom ring lost, recovered and returned in Newark, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Zack and Yasmine contacted me via the Ring Finders directory after losing a beautiful gold ring several weeks earlier. They were enjoying the first snowfall of the year on the campus of the University of Delaware in Newark, DE when her ring came up missing. The ring, which was originally her mothers, flew off her finger during a snowball fight. Yasmine distinctly felt the ring come off during a throw and despite searching several times she and Zack could not find it. I met them on campus and they had the good sense to remember the precise area where the snowball fight occurred. I started the search with my Minelab Manticore metal detector(15 inch coil) in the area she was standing when she made the throw and used a grid pattern to cover the 25 square yard area. When i didn’t find on my first scan of the area I expanded my search area and started to cover a wider area. A gold ring on the surface has a very distinct and unique signature on a metal detector and I was hyper focused on just that signal when BOOM!  I got the signal I was hoping for…I looked down…I didn’t even have to bend down…there on the surface was her beautiful gold ring!!! I called Zack and Yasmine over and pointed down…the happiness on their faces made my day!

Two wedding rings lost at Newport Beach by newlyweds visiting from Egypt

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 

Metal Detecting Service in Newport Beach call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136 .. Member of TheRingFinders

  *** Cairo and Layla are newly weds from Egypt, celebrating their honeymoon in Newport Beach , CA.  Layla set her two wedding rings on their beach blanket for a couple minutes, because the new rings were a little tight.

Even though they were back away from the water, a rouge wave washed over the upper towel line and the water took the rings into the sand.

They called me after trying to find the rings for a couple hours.  I met them on the beach just before sunset.  They remained on the beach till I arrived. Because they called me in a timely manner and stayed there, It only took a few minutes to locate both the rings. They were so excited and grateful to have the rings recovered. The next morning they were flying back to Egypt.

Do not wait. It is very important to call a metal detecting service as soon as possible.. Call or Text .. Stan the Metal Detector Man …  949-500-2136
