Yard Recovery

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

Got a call from a gentleman whose wife’s ring had gotten lost in the front yard. He was positive he knew where the ring was, but had not been able to find it, which is when he contacted me. We set up a time to meet and he took me through the scenario about how it came to be lost in the yard. It’s a somewhat personal story, so suffice it to say that there was a marital discussion and we’ll leave it at that. The good news: front yards are usually grass and are usually mowed, which makes recoveries easier. The bad news: front yards are typically where water lines, cable connections, and electrical power come in from the street, so it can be difficult to pick out a ring signal with all the interference and background noise. Apparently the ring-finding spirits were with me this morning and I was able to find the ring in 15 minutes or so. Although the husband is the one I spoke to, he assured me that his wife would be thrilled to have her ring back on her finger. Happy Ending! PS – Please excuse the gaping mouth in the photo – I was talking when I took the picture.

Lost – Men’s White Gold, Diamond Wedding Ring, Oviedo, Florida – FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Neil after he called theringfinders.com.  He was distraught after losing his white gold diamond wedding ring. As I was leaving the beach in Daytona, I told him I could be at his home in about two hours after a quick stop at mine. I prayed earnestly for guidance to help me find his ring.

When I arrived at Neil’s home in Oviedo, he took me to his front yard and explained that he had been playing with a dog when the ring went missing. He had checked his doorbell camera, which showed the ring at one point, but later, when he noticed it was gone, he was heartbroken—especially after fifteen years of wearing it.

I powered up my Minelab Manticore and began my search, covering the front yard and some hedges near the porch. I found several targets typical for a residential area, despite my efforts, the ring eluded me. After an hour of searching, I decided to switch to a smaller coil to navigate tighter spots and minimize background noise.

Starting at the edge of the grass by the driveway, I made my way to the sidewalk. Suddenly, I got a strong signal right at the sidewalk’s edge! As I set down my pinpointer, it sounded off, and to my amazement, a beautiful diamond ring rolled out from beneath a clump of grass, glimmering in the sunlight.

Neil was checking his phone for footage from the door camera when I held the ring up between us, saying, “I have a few more questions…” He looked up just in time to see the ring shining in my hand. His eyes widened in disbelief, and joy flooded his expression as I handed it back to him.

Lost white gold wedding band recovered from Bunganut Lake in Lyman, Maine with a metal detector.

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Jeff who had lost his white gold wedding ring while swimming at a friends camp over the summer,  asking if I would be able to look for  it. Although the late October Sunday was an unseasonably warm day the waters of Bunganut Lake in Lyman had cooled off quite a bit since Jeff lost his ring. The search area was small with about a 10’ maximum depth, but strewn with large boulders which made navigating and detecting a challenge. After about two hours I was able locate and reunite Jeff with his ring which I found at the base of one of the boulders and covered in a couple inches of silt.

Lost 48 year old wedding ring – Found!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Charles and Marty were visiting all the way from Seattle. When you have worn your wedding ring for 48 years and it goes missing on the beach, you can’t just let it go. Luckily Charles’ and his wife Marty tracked me down and asked me to give them a hand. They weren’t sure exactly where it had come off but they had good directions to where they had been sitting with their family the day before so that was a pretty good starting place. Marty and Charles weren’t able to be there for the search but I could hear how important this ring was to them in Marty’s voice when we spoke on the phone. I was thrilled when I called back later and asked where I could meet them to drop off Charles’ ring. They were almost in disbelief and the entire family cheered in the background. I met them later and got some fantastic hugs as we put the ring back where it belongs. Congratulations Charles and Marty!

Lost ring on the Beach at Night – FOUND!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

My wife and I were out of town this weekend but luckily Hannah was right down the road when she gave me a call. Hannah and her husband were walking on the beach the night before when her husband fell and felt his wedding band go flying. I searched the entire area they thought it might be but it was nowhere to be found. My wife pointed to another area and said, “what about over there?”  I said it couldn’t hurt to try and only went a few feet when the gold band came up gleaming in the sand. I don’t know who was prouder, my wife or Hannah. Her husband is going to be thrilled when he gets home from work. 😃

I FOUND Joel’s LOST GOLD Wedding Ring with my metal detector.

  • from Kerrville (Texas, United States)
Contact:

Joel called and said he believed he lost his family heirloom gold wedding ring while removing leaves from his yard. He said he got my phone number from theringfinders.com. I told him not to disturb the leaves that he bagged and do not rake any more leaves. I drove the 90 miles from Kerrville to Joel’s house in New Braunfels, Texas. Within 10 minutes I had recovered Joel’s ring slightly buried in the earth below a pile of leaves. Joel was ecstatic to have his ring back. Joel said he thought about renting or buying a metal detector but realized he wouldn’t know how to properly use it. Smart man Joel! Leave it to the experts, contact theringfinders.com when you lose you precious items.

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Waimanalo Beach…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a text from Josh who was on vacation from Cleveland, Ohio with his Wife Novi & Son Johnathan that said, « Hello.  We lost a ring. »  I asked where and he said « Bagley Beach » which turned out to be Waimanalo Beach which is a bit further South.  Turns out his wife Novi’s ring fell out of a beach bag when her son came ashore after being stung by a Portugese Man-O-War.  Josh shook the sand out of the beach bag not knowing Novi’s Platinum & Diamonds ring was inside.  I was just finishing up work and told them I would run home grab my gear and head over.  It was about 30 minutes from my home.  When I arrived Josh met me and directed me to a parking stall that just opened up.  We headed down to the beach and it’s known for all the metal trash from all the parties that go on there.  Although the area was considerably small I must have dug a dozen targets.  Thankfully too I went out of the grid as the ring sang a nice 15-16 on the Manticore a few feet out of the grid.  Novi was obviously relieved when I pull her ring out of the scoop and said Got it!   A few pleasantries and I was on my way.  Aloha to Novi, Josh & Johnathan!

Lost White Gold with Solitaire Diamond Wedding Ring at Hale Koa Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began on Thursday, 10 October when I got a text from Andrea who was on vacation from Clive, Iowa and staying with her husband at the Hale Koa.  They were flying out the next day, right at the low tide, when I intended to hunt as they had been in the water and weren’t actually sure when the ring came off.  It was going to be a mail back ring scenario.  When I arrived at low tide I searched the dry sand area where they had been relaxing on beach chairs.  No luck.  Andrea mentioned they had only gone out to about waist deep water and had been thrown around by the waves and rolled around a bit.  I started on the upper slope going down into the water out to at least chest deep to be sure I covered the area well.  I just hunted this area the weekend before so it was sterile.  Then on the 4th leg of the grid going up the wet sand slope I got a nice loud tone and in one scoop there was Andrea’s gorgeous ring in the scoop.  A rather large 1.5 carat diamond was my guess.  I immediately texted her the great news but the flight had already departed.  I got a text at 1:10 AM asking, Any luck? then, « No way!  Woah!  Amazing! Ya! When it’s morning give me a call. »  I mailed the ring back and you can see in the pic above Andrea and her husband have smiles of joy back in Iowa!  Much Aloha to Andrea & her husband!
