Ring Recovery Assistance in Santa Cruz County

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

A few weeks ago a friend of mine Tom Tanner asked for some assistance in finding a lost ring in Nisene Marks State Park.  I am very familiar with the location as my experience and love for the rugged mountains in this park was one of the reasons I moved to Santa Cruz now ~25 years ago.

We met the couple Maddie and Jace who unfortunately lost their ring and, hiking in two miles, they led us to each of the places they believed they stopped where they could have possibly dropped their ring.  Interestingly, on the way back and feeling somewhat defeated, as we were talking about all the other places it could be, Jace said very convincingly, « I think it’s here in the park. »  So of course we kept searching, going back over some of the places we had already searched.

Amazingly not more than 200 yards from the cars, I heard a bunch of excited shouting ahead of me and Jace turned around as I was searching and yelled, « Tom found it! ».  Sure enough, after a 4 mile adventure, Tom had found Maddie’s beautiful diamond solitaire ring, buried under no more than 1 inch of leaves and redwood duff, right in one of the spots where they thought it might be.

My first assisted ring find was truly a great adventure and even better reunion, and motivated me to join the Ring Finders myself.

LOST FAMILY HEIRLOOM PLATNIUM DIAMOND RING in CHARLOTTE, NC…….FOUND!!

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

I received a text message from a young lady needing my help to search for her lost family heirloom platinum diamond ring that was passed down by her great-grandmother.

Story goes, she pulled into work, took the ring off and put it in her pocket. She went into the building and then back out of the building. She turned to the right and ran to the back shed on the backside of the building to place a box in there. Then she ran back inside. The running must have caused the ring to work itself up and out of her pocket.

When she came back inside she realized she had lost her ring. Her and her co-workers searched and searched for her ring to no avail! She was so devastated!!

We make arrangements for me to come search for it. I get to the site and start my search. There were lots of signals in the gold/platnium range. Based on that it took me hours to recover it. But finally, not too far from the front door, in the high grass I get a signal, grabbed my pin-pointer, I move the grass back and I finally see the ring!!!

I texted her pictures of the ring and she sent a co-worker/friend to come pick it up!

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

Hillary called me after losing her house in the Palisades fire to see if I could help her find some family a heirlooms in the rubble. I met her a few days later and  began to dig and sift. It didn’t take long to find her sterling silver flatware. Then I moved on to search for her husbands watch. It was given to him by his mother for graduation. I found that about an hour later.  Then I began the search for Hillarys jewelry. I soon found a couple of silver necklaces.  One of the most sentimental things that I found at the end of my search was several special tooth fairy coins that they had given to their four daughters . what a nice family that I was lucky enough to help.

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a text message from Stephanie who was on vacation from Arizona and enjoying the day at Ala Moana Beach Park.  As she reached down to pick up her towel, the rings that were in the towel scattered in the beach sand.  She was able to find two of them but the most coveted Yellow Gold & Diamonds Emgagement ring couldn’t be found.  I had just gotten home from work, so I called her and said I was on my way.  There was plenty of parking near lifeguard shack 1D so that was a bonus.  Stephanie drew a small grid box to hunt in so I fired up the Manticore.  The first target #22 loud perfect dot on the VDI.  One scoop and BINGO ring found.  Elapsed time 15 seconds!  Aloha to Stephanie and you are going home with your wedding ring!

Lost Platinum and Diamond Wedding Band…Recovered from the Soccer Pitch!

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

I was cooking Saturday morning breakfast for the family when Eric called.  His wife was assisting with setting up soccer goals for an early game and lost her Platinum and Diamond wedding band somewhere amongst the grass.  They looked for quite some time and even enlisted the help of others at the field.  At one point there was a cheap child’s metal detector deployed, but with low batteries and an abundance of « beeps » it produced more frustration than results.

I was keen to the task, but schedules meant the ring would overnight there until the following Morning when I could get an early jump on it.  When I arrived, it was just before sunrise and it was shaping up to be a gorgeous day. The nicely groomed fields were wet from overnight fog which played a nice roll in my grid searches.  I noticed that as I swung from side to side, if I brushed the top of the grass it would change the color and I knew exactly what I had covered and where I had not.

The field was large, but Eric had met me there and showed me the target areas for our search.  It was still a large enough area to take some time and after I cleared one of the target areas we moved off to the next.  The field was trashy with a lot of deeper targets but I did locate a few odds and ends.  Then after 20 minutes or so in the new location…We made the recovery!  Tucked out of sight in the green grass the small wedding band came into view and Eric confirmed it to be our target.  We took a few photos and a video and the mission was happily accomplished.

Thank you Eric for your feedback and in trusting me with your wife’s ring.  I wish you all both the very best and hope you tell the story of the once missing ring far and wide.

Gold Ring Lost off Boardwalk at Laguna Main Beach, CA. Found During Nighttime Search

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


Metal Detector Man searching service is available now for you. 24/7 ..  Call or text  .. 949-500-2136


*** Lost Ring calls at the beach seem to come after people have spent hours looking for the ring. Sometimes the delay of contacting an experienced ringfinder is because they returned home where they could go online to get information about buying or renting a metal detector. Many calls come after dark.

Steve and his wife, Li had been walking the boardwalk at Laguna Beach, CA. Li dropped her gold ring near the edge of the wooden boardwalk. She wasn’t sure if it had fallen in the sand or that the ring fell into the cracks between the boards. The way the boardwalk is constructed, there is no access under the walkway. Hopefully the ring didn’t drop, through the cracks.

Most people don’t understand how a metal detector works. Before beginning the grid search, I told them that I could only search the accessible sand. I know  my metal detector could find the ring if it is there. I try to explain this to people prior to doing a search,  so they don’t get disappointed if the ring is not found. Many times the people are satisfied that the search area has been cleared by an experienced metal detector expert.

This was one of the quick easy searches. The ring had fallen in the sand just 3 feet from the edge of the boardwalk. Making it simple to find with my state of the art metal detector equipment. It was easier because Steve and Li called me soon after she felt it slip off her finger. They also marked the location and waited there till I arrived.

After finding Li’s sentimental gold ring . It was exciting for me to see how happy she was when I found her ring. I know it probably has important personal memories for her.

Heirloom Ring Lost for Years Found in NJ

  • from Madison (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Andrew holding his lost ring shortly after it was found today in NJ

HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. — Several years ago, Andrew was tossing some yard debris down an embankment on his property when a family heirloom ring he had worn flew off into the leafy hillside below. Thinking the ring was lost, he wrote it off to bad luck.

The heirloom ring being pulled from the dirt where it had been missing for five years

As time wore on, Andrew decided to rekindle the search and contacted Ringfinder Bill Leasure. Bill searched the hillside up and down and side to side, for several hours. Finally, after moving some old two by fours, a strong signal emerged from the leaves below. About two inches down, the shining ring popped out of its years-long hiding spot. Another successful recovery by Ringfinder Bill Leasure, finding Northern New Jersey’s lost rings one happy customer at a time.
