Lost ring Belfast Maine

  • from Brewer (Maine, United States)

On Tuesday the 15th Jonathan reached out to the Ring Finder and myself about a lost ring in Belfast Maine. His partner had lost it a month earlier while painting a rental at a motel complex. The ring had been passed down from father To son. Jonathan said his partner lost it while painting on a ladder and had heard it hit the ladder so he knew exactly where it was lost. They searched but came up empty-handed. Later the maintenance crew from the motel trimmed grass and bushes there and six people were on the hands and knees searching for this Ring.

 

 

 

Once I arrived on site. I met the maintenance manager and he showed me exactly where this incident had happened. I fired up the metal detector and made one pass close to the foundation and on the return pass 3 feet from the foundation. I got my first repeatable signal indicating a target on the surface.separating The grass I spotted a small portion of the ring. It seemed to be where the base of the ladder had been and was definitely stepped on. Later that afternoon I met up with Jonathan for the return. Jonathan‘s intention was to surprise his partner a few days later with the Ring. But at the return, Jonathan was excited at first, but then he wasn’t sure that this was the Ring. I said it has to be. It was where the latter was. It was on the surface that can’t be two rings there. I said let me know when you return it and if it’s not it, I’ll go back down. I spoke with Jonathan this morning and it is the Ring ,big sigh of relief. The picture say the  Rest

Wedding ring recovered in Lake Michigan

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Got a call from Steve last week letting me know his uncle Jeff lost his wedding ring while playing catch with a football, on the beach, in Onekama, MI. I came out to check the area and see if the water is calm enough to search. The lake was rough that day so I came back the next day when it calmed down and began my grid search on the beach and in the water. After a couple hours i did not find it. Later that evening another search was made and found the ring had been buried in deep send close to the shore. A happy man after years of being on his finger and recently loosing his wife. Jeff my best wishes to you.

Clam Digging Results With Wedding Set Lost in the Mud – Found Days Later

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Cape Carteret, NC

Brenda called Crystal Coast Ring Finders for help trying to locate her missing 3 piece wedding set.  Brenda was out trying to find clams in the very shallow waters of the Bogue Sound.  It wasn’t until the next morning she realized her wedding set was missing.  I asked her many questions about what she did after being in the water and it was determined the rings were more likely lost in or near the muddy area she searched for clams.  The day I met the couple (married 55 years!) the weather was less than favorable with strong winds keeping the tide higher than normal and white cap waves at times.  After a few passes, I informed them this was not ideal conditions and I would return soon to try again.  On the second attempt, I tried to take advantage of the negative low tide that day and get out as far as she informed me she hunted on that sad day. As I expected, I found many items of garbage but no rings.  The third day I returned and after checking my tracking software realized there was still an area that needed more attention.  After a while I finally came across a very solid signal and was hoping it wasn’t garbage.  I brought my scoop up out of the mud and after clearing the debris, I noticed that spectacular shine of gold!  I marked the location of the first ring and about 3 foot away I found a very similar signal.  It was Brenda’s engagement ring.  Once again, I marked the area in the water with a pole and seared again.  Once again at around 3 feet further was the last ring!  It was apparent to me she lost the rings throwing something.  Brenda explained she was digging with her right hand if she found an empty shell, she would toss it into an area she already hunted.

Brenda informed me her friends were very doubtful any of the rings would be found and even encouraged her to file an insurance claim on the lost rings.  When I informed Brenda (who had returned to Pennsylvania) I have found all 3 rings, she told me she filed a claim the previous day and would now call them back to cancel the claim and save her the deductible amount.  Brenda and her husband Floyd for 55 years returned back to North Carolina a few weeks later and I was very happy to return the rings to her in person and I really enjoyed visiting them.

 

Don’t throw it!

I was contacted a short while back by an upset husband who unfortunately had a kind of disagreement with his wife.

Sadly the beautiful diamond wedding ring was drawn into this disagreement, was sent airborne into some very thick bushes of their back garden.

This was a challenging search, due to the thick vegetation about, but thankfully I had remembered my trusty secateurs to help clear the worst bits.

But after probably two hours of searching, and some interesting old die cast model cars etc, a lovey clean ‘lost, but found ring tone’ was emitted from my detector.

I think all three of them were very happy to be reunited once again.

 

Lost ring recovered from dog walk

I had a call the other day from a lady who had lost her grandmothers wedding ring. Her grandmother was married in 1950, so this was a very special ring.

We met on her dog walk, which was a wooded track with lots of undergrowth each side. the walk was probably quarter of a mile, so quite a search. The track was surprisingly not too trashy, but as with most ring searches, they are normally on the surface, so a detuned detector was necessary.

After nearly two hours of searching, we were nearing the end of the track, and we were both beginning to feel the hope of finding the ring was fading. But then, a beautiful clear tone was delivered! A quick brush aside with my foot of some leaf litter, and there it was, a very nice gold ring smiling at me.

Another very happy and emotional owner of a very special lost ring now recovered.

Silver/Gold Engagement Ring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Bucks County, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Jessica found me in the Ring Finders Directory after losing her beautiful diamond engagement ring while doing some minor landscaping in her front yard. She was in her yard in Fairless Hills, PA and while wiping her hands on her pants she felt her ring slip off and fall into the deep grass. After searching for quite a while she decided to reach out to a professional and I went to search the next day. 10 minutes into scanning her front yard with my top of the line detector I received the signal I was hoping for…I bent down and parted the grass and there was her beautiful ring! I was very happy to be able to return Jessica’s ring to her!

Lost 18K Gold and Diamonds Earring at Naia Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This Earring hunt began on 26 June when I got a text from Nicole who was on vacation from Laguna Hills, California stating, « I lost a pair of gold earrings on the west side of the island in the Ko Olina lagoon ».  I responded I was flying home from San Diego and could hunt early the next morning.  Kai who covers for me while I’m away also got the word and started a search immediately.  The search area was huge and Kai was unsuccessful.  I was also unsuccessful the next morning during the low tide.  Then on 8 September during another hunt in Naia Lagoon I got a whisper of a hit and after a few scoops there was Nicole’s Earring in the scoop.  As you can see in the pic its back home with her in California.  I will do my best to sniff out the other one.  Aloha to Nicole!

14K Ring Found At Oval Beach, Saugatuck, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Received a text from Jordan from Indiana stating he lost his wedding ring last Saturday near buoys 11 and 12 which are close together.  He was playing catch with a football and said he threw the football toward the shore while he was in the water and thinks that is when his ring flew off.  He is back home in Indiana and found me on the internet.
I went out there on Wednesday and searched the whole beach area and waters edge with no luck.  The waves were HUGE and no way you could stand and search in the water.
Today is Thursday and the forecast is for 2 mph winds from the east and when I arrived the lake was almost like glass.
I called Jordan and he gave me more info on what he was doing at the beach.  He had also gone out further in the water to the right side of those buoys and no deeper than about 4 ft.
I set up a grid to the right of those buoys and about 9 paces to the right of buoy 11 I hit the sweet sound of gold in about chest deep water.  It seems the ring is never in the place you think it should be.  I sent Jordan a picture of the ring and asked him if this looked familiar-his comment was, « you are unbelievable ».    He is sending me a picture of he and his bride of 3 years​ to add to this post later.     PS  The ring is 14K with an inlay of black zirconium.
