Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Fort Washington, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from Mike from the Fort Washington/Oreland, PA on a Saturday night. Earlier in the day he was getting a headstart on  a pool installation project in his backyard. After a few hours of digging a trench for the water lines he looked down and noticed his 10-year old gold wedding band was no longer on his finger! He searched for a bit but soon realized it was hopeless without the help of a metal detector…after a quick search of internet he found me in the Ring Finders Directory. I came the next day (before the Eagles Super Bowl victory!!!) and met him in his backyard. I brought 2 detectors with me….one with a small search coil to search under shrubs and one with a larger coil to cover a larger search area. After talking to Mike and him pointing out where he thinks the ring most likely fell off (in and around the muddy trench) I set to work around the muddy trench with my 6 inch coil. I had my machine set to just search out just gold ring signals…5 minutes into the search I received a beautiful signal in my headphones…honestly from doing this for so many years…without even looking I was a 100% sure this was his ring. I called Mike over and let him hear the signal and told him there it was…my machine was showing it 2-3 inches beneath the surface of the mud. I bent down and dug a little with my pinpointer and I think Mike and I both saw it at the same time ..there it was!!! Mike was surprised I found it…he thought it was a goner for sure! It’s always thrilling to be successful in a recovery operation and I was very happy I could come through for Mike!

Lost Platinum Wedding Band at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a call from Jeric’s Mom.  Her son Jeric from Roseville, California was on vacation in Hawaii celebrating his Grandma’s 100th Birthday.  Jeric had just received his new Platinum Wedding Band from his lovely wife six days ago and while playing with his children in the cool waters of Ulua Lagoon he looked down and noticed it had disappeared.  Thankfully, he hadn’t moved around too much in the water so the ring was in a relatively small area to hunt.  My quitting time was 40 minutes away so I told them I would grab my gear and head right over. When I arrived Jeric showed me the location in the water and I began the hunt.  A few coin targets and some foil then a Yellow Gold Diamond Pendant I had been looking for at least a month.  It sure was far away from where it was supposed to be.  Then on the next grid line coming into shore I got a nice tone and in one scoop there was Jeric’s Platinum Band.  I yelled to shore that I had found it and several family members joined us on the beach to see the recovery.  Cheers & handclapping was heard all around and Jeric was certainly relieved.  Enjoy the rest of your special family vacation.  Aloha to Jeric!

Rolex Watch, Civil War Gun, and Class Ring Found in Palisades Burned Home

Steve’s Emergency Metal Detecting Service For You if you lost a ring or something precious to you. Please don’t wait until tomorrow, time will work against you, please CALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, CALL NOW!  310-953-5268

I received a call from Cliff who had lost his home in the Palisades Fire here in the Los Angeles area. His family had lost it all, but he wanted to try and find a watch that had been in his family for 4 generations, which had been handed down son to son, and he wanted to be able to do the same with his own son. We set a date and time to meet, as he had to get me through 2 National Guard checkpoints to get to his site.

When we arrived the property was like the many thousands all around, burned to the ground. He showed me where the ring had been, and there was anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of rubble in the area. I began working through the rubble with my sifter plodding on, shovel full after shovel full, not finding the watch. Cliff had a scheduled appointment, and had to leave, so I stayed another 1 1/2 hours trying to find the watch with no luck. I sent him a text letting him know I was unable to find the watch, and that I was leaving before the curfew. Right as I was getting ready to leave I spotted a class ring at the edge of the search area, on top of some rubble. I sent another text to Cliff letting him know this, and it buoyed his hope, so he asked if I would be able to come back again. He let me know also that there was a revolver he would like to find that had been from a distant relative who had used it in the Civil War.

When I arrived the second time I went right to work in the area I had worked before, continuing to expand the search zone one shovel full at a time. Then after about an hour, I took two shovels of rubble, and on top of the second one, I saw the watch. It was completely destroyed, a real sad ending for the search. When I brought it to Cliff, he said that at least it won’t haunt him if he did not find it, not knowing if it made it through the fire. Next we started moving some of the metal that was covering the area where the gun had been, and set to work removing the big pieces of rubble to try to get to the gun. As I lifted a piece of roofing tile I saw the gun, and held it up for Cliff. Once again, the fire had taken it’s toll. At least Cliff had closure being able to find those items which meant so much to him and his family.

Lost diamond rings in sand on the north shore of Oahu

  • from Waikīkī Beach (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

It all started when I got a phone call from Paul, his voice filled with panic. “We lost the wedding rings on the North Shore Sunset Beach!” he exclaimed, and I could hear the distress in his tone. I was at work in town, surrounded by the hustle and bustle, but my heart was already racing. I needed to get home, situate the kids with my wife, and grab my metal detector. This was a call I couldn’t ignore.

After a quick chat with my wife, I rushed home, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I informed Paul that I am on my way and will let you know when I was about twenty minutes out. I felt a surge of determination and the North Shore was my childhood playground, a place where the ocean waves comforted me as a child. I couldn’t wait to help them find the lost rings.

When I arrived at the beach, the parking lot was alive with activity. I met up with Paul and Heewon, their faces a mix of concern and hope. As I followed them down the sandy path to the spot where they thought the ring had slipped off, memories of my own childhood flooded back. I marked the area in my mind, ready to begin the search.

With my detector in hand, I made my first pass over the sand, the hum of the machine blending with the sound of crashing waves. Nothing. I took a deep breath and started my second run. Halfway through, the detector emitted a strong tone that sent a thrill down my spine. This was it! I scooped down, heart racing, and as I raised the scoop, there they were—two beautiful rings glimmering in the sunlight.

Excited, I looked up to share the moment with Paul and Heewon, but to my surprise, they weren’t looking my way. I approached them, holding up a piece of fishing lead I had found and asked, “this don’t look anything like your rings?” They shook their heads, still scanning the beach.

“Then what about this?” I said, revealing the scoop. “Inside the scoop!”

Suddenly, a shout of joy erupted from Paul and Heewon, their eyes wide with disbelief. “That is my rings!” he exclaimed, rushing toward me. The air was thick with celebration as beachgoers nearby turned to see what the commotion was about. They joined us in clapping and cheering, the sound echoing against the backdrop of waves crashing on the shore.

What was lost had been found, and the rings were back in their rightful hands. We all celebrated, laughter mixing with the sounds of the ocean. “Enjoy the rest of your trip here in Hawaii!” I said with a smile, feeling grateful to have played a part in this joyful reunion.

As I walked back along the beach, the sun setting in a blaze of color, I felt a warmth in my heart. The North Shore had once again woven its comfort, reminding me that sometimes, the simplest acts of kindness bring the greatest joy.

Mahalo Paul and Heewon

I was on a search for Teresa in the Palisades fire last week that was successful. Her aunt lived in her own room in the same house, and lost a big diamond ring and other gold jewelry, I was asked to search for her jewelry as well. There was a lot of debris, in her corner of the house, that had to be removed, once that was out of the way. I started sifting and began finding her jewelry, there was a large diamond ring, a gold lapis ring, several other gold rings, some gold and silver necklaces, two gold bracelets, two watches, several pairs of gold earrings as well. I found over 30 pieces of jewelry in total. Teresa’s aunt was so happy to have it back. She told me that she thought it was gone forever, and was   amazed  that I was able to find it under the rubble and ash.

GOLD AND SILVER COIN COLLECTION LOST IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED.

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

Terry called me last week and told me that her family had lost their house in the Palisades fire. Her mother had a very expensive gold and silver coin collection and desperately wanted to know if there was a chance I could find it for them. I met them two days later in Santa Monica and followed them to their property in the Palisades. They guessed  at the area that the coins should have been but the mom felt like she had moved them to another location sometime ago. I started to remove some debris and began finding some of the silver coins, I sifted more carefully and began finding more and  silver coins,  Some of the coins of silver half dollars were fused together. I finally started to find the gold coins which included a 1874  20 dollar gold piece and a 1899  20 dollar gold piece. There were over 10 gold  coins and over 150 silver coins recovered  so it turned out that the collection was never moved to the second location. When Terry called her mother with the good news they were both very happy and relieved. It was a successful search  for me with a positive out come for the family.

Lost ring at the park…Found

  • from Johnson City (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I had a couple of hours of free time and decided to go metal detecting at a local park. I hit on a target and decided to dig it. Turns out it was a class ring. I love finding these things because I can almost always get them back to the owner. I reached out to the school alumni page and after a quick search they were able to provide me with his last name. After a quick search on Face Book I was able to track him down. He had lived in this area 15+ years ago and now serves in the Army. After making contact with him he was elated that the ring was found. I’m mailing this ring back to him and so glad to bring some joy to a fellow Soldier.

Kind woman with dementia lost ring while gardening

  • from Pacifica (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from the niece of a kind older woman who lives in a lovely mid-century modern home designed by Joseph Eichler. #housegoals
She told me that her aunt had lost a ring while gardening but that she didn’t believe she knew where she actually lost it, due to dementia. My instinct was to trust « Eva » over the niece who just seemed to be annoyed by her aunt’s diminished mental faculties. And I am glad that I did.
The dirt was hard-packed but there were a few trees with ivy around the bases and one tree with a bench built in a square around the base. This was the spot Eva thought she lost the ring. When she told me that I caught the niece’s eyes, she rolled them and walked away. I did a preliminary swing around the trees and benches with my small coil to get into the nooks and in to the ivy. Then I returned to the area where Anna said she lost the ring. Detecting along the fence line a glimmer of silver caught my eye and there it was! Her cherished Scandinavian silver ring lying just beneath the gap under the fence right next to where she knew it would be. She was right all along.

Gold Ring Lost While Gardening

  • from Pacifica (California, United States)
Contact:

A lovely couple reached out to me about a gold wedding band that had been lost while gardening in their backyard. I got their details and went to their house as soon as I could. I swung around their lovely backyard for a while in the area they thought it would be. I found a couple of coins and then came across the ring in a small pile of dirt that had been shoveled out of a hole while they were planting some new flowers. And voila! The ring was found. Such a joyous reaction!
