Mom’s Ring Recovered!

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

I was contacted by a woman who had initially lost two rings, but had found one before calling me. While we were speaking about the when and where, she told me the backstory. Both her parents had passed and she had a ring from each. She decided to wear the two rings around her neck, but had the rings together on a hoop earring, which was in turn, looped onto a gold chain. She was spreading straw onto newly seeded grass in her back yard, and in rearranging the straw with a rake, she saw her father’s ring on the ground, which is when she realized that the hoop earring had opened and dropped the rings. As you might imagine, the hoop wasn’t strong enough to hold the rings securely and it had opened up. Finding the first ring was a good indicator about the location of the second, but she had searched extensively and hadn’t been able to locate it. After having her show me the areas where she’d been working, I started the search. After finding the usual yard trash (small pieces of aluminum, iron nails, screws, and a few pennies), I was able to locate her ring. In her own search, she had unknowingly stepped on it and pushed it down into the mud. Although it wasn’t visible, my detector wasn’t bothered by the mud and I was able to recover the ring. Given how important the rings were to her, it was great to see the joy in her eyes when the missing ring was recovered and returned!

Diamond Engagement Ring lost in the sand, Lavallette NJ (OB3) recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

Jersey shore ring finder

I was spending the holiday weekend with my family at Island Beach State Park when I received a frantic call from Megan. She was incredibly upset, having just lost her rings in the sand moments before. While she had managed to recover two of them, her cherished engagement ring was nowhere to be found. I calmed her down, advising her to stop digging and simply wait, assuring her I would be there in a few hours. Since Megan and her family were staying for the day and had secured the area with their beach gear, there wasn’t an urgent rush. Had the situation been different, I would have dropped everything and headed there immediately.

When I arrived, Megan pointed out the area where the ring had gone missing, and I wasted no time getting to work. Initially, I had to clear a few loud signals that were overpowering the delicate tone of her ring. Once those were taken care of, my metal detector honed in on the ring’s unique signal. Within seconds, her engagement ring was safely in my scoop. The relief on her face made the search all the more rewarding!

Diamond Wedding Ring Set Lost in Surf at a Orange County Beach Found and Returned to Owner

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

If you need help or advice on how to find a ring or other important metal item, call Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136


*** Barbie was staying with her family in the summer beach front rentals in Newport Beach, CA. While playing catch with a football in ankle deep water both her diamond engagement ring and wedding ring came off her finger falling into the surf. Immediately the rings disappeared in the saturated wet sand.

She was able to contact me shortly after the loss, after someone on the beach gave her my contact information. The tide was too high to do a search when she called me. We did have time to determine the general location. The next low tide would be 2am, so I told her I would be there to do a thorough grid search at low tide.

These types searches are not the same as searching a field , because beaches have various forms of sand movement. It is possible that as much as a foot of sand can move in which would put the ring out of the detection range of most metal detectors. Sometimes people misjudge how deep they were in  the water. I try to explain to people what our chances are,  before giving them false hope.

This was one was one of the good conditions that made this a successful search. It still took about an hour of slow methodical grid searching in the dark of night to find the two rings. It gets a little discouraging because there were no other metal signals and it’s difficult to keep a straight line in shallow water. It’s a game of inches with small items like a ring there’s always a chance of missing the item.

I had found both rings within two feet of each other. I did sleep in that morning, 2 am searches take some recovery time. Some time after 9 am the next morning I sent Barbie a photo of the rings. We met a couple hours after the call for the return.

Don’t waste your time renting or buying a cheap metal detector. If you don’t have any experience operating one, it could be very frustrating. Let me come to you with the best equipment available and experience for recovering all types of sentimental keepsakes. Stan the Metal Detector Man.. Mobile metal detecting service .. 949-500-2136

Lost rings found in the house in Orlando Florida…found by Florida ring finder, Mike McInroe!

If you have lost something or need information on how to find a lost metallic item…call or text Mike, the Florida ring finder at 321-363-6029…any time!

Elefteria tells her story… »I had lost not just one ring but TWO rings while laying on the couch.  Hours later my husband and I searched for hours in the couch and around that area.  I was so upset when we couldn’t find them as my wedding and engagement rings were passed down to me from my grandparents.  We searched again the next day and still nothing.  I found Mike online and decided to take a chance on his ring finding skills after reading so many successful reviews.  I’m SO glad I did!  Mike came to the house and was super friendly, optimistic and thorough.  He asked me to explain again what happened and then he went to work doing a preliminary and extensive check around the area of the couch.  Then he went to work on both couches where I thought the rings might be lost.  He flipped the couches, used a flashlight and a special camera tool and searched every crevice.  It was not looking very promising.  He seemed pretty sure that they weren’t in the couch so he looked again behind the couch where we stored things.  Just when we thought it was a lost cause, Mike found them hovering on the plastic of the air filter we were storing on top of a bin behind the couch!  I would have never seen them, but Mike did!  It was such a relief and I was so so grateful for his extra set of eyes, patience and thorough searching.  Don’t hesitate to hire Mike! »

Men’s Gold Wedding Ring Lost While Changing Tire, Found With A Metal Detector, in Saco, Maine

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

On Monday night, November 18th, I started receiving Facebook notifications, for both my personal Facebook account, Dennis Boothby and for The Ring Finders of Maine. People were tagging me about a lost wedding ring that had posted to the Bidd Saco Group Facebook Page. I read the post about the lost ring, in Saco, but no location was given, by the poster, Karla Ann. This is exactly what someone should do, when posting about a lost piece of jewelry. You never want to give the location of a lost piece of jewelry, that was lost in a public place. Even though 99% of people are honest, there is always that 1% that is out for themselves. Only reveal the location to someone you can trust, including me, The Ring Finders Of Maine, I will be happy to help. If you post about a piece of lost jewelry, you may mention the town and say that you lost your ring and describe the ring. Hopefully someone honest will find it and turn it in.

So, after reading the post by Karla Ann, I sent her a PM and made a comment, on her post, mentioning all the comments mentioning me. My comment said

“Thank you everyone, for thinking of me and the referrals. I truly appreciate your support ❤️🙏

Karla Ann, If there is anything I can do, please message me on my Facebook Page, The Ring Finders of Maine or call me at 207-423-3027.

Thank you and prayers for you getting your wedding ring back 🙏🙏🙏”

I did hear back from Karla Ann and she replied

“Hi Dennis,

Thank you for your reply.

We think the ring was dropped in a parking lot. Not buried at the beach or anything.

We went back to look for it.

It was the lot at the Saco heath preserve, my husband changed a flat tire. Thinks it was lost at that time”.

After some more messaging back and forth with Karla Ann I told her I would absolutely search for her husband, Naz’s, wedding ring, first thing in the morning, as soon as I dropped my 7 year old granddaughter, off at school. Once I walked her to school, I came home and immediately drove to the Saco Heath Preserve. I parked opposite of where they had parked, to change the tire. I started up my metal detector and decided to search all the leaves, along the edge of the dirt parking lot. Nothing found but the usual trash of pull tabs and foil. When I reached the corner of the parking lot, I turned around and took a 1/2 step, to my left. I would now be searching the actual gravel parking lot. As I started across the parking lot, I received the low tone I love to hear and I was between a 1/4 to 1/2 way across the lot. The signal was coming from underneath a fallen leaf. I moved the leaf and there was a bright yellow gold ring, staring back at me. I had found Naz’s ring in less than 10 minutes. I immediately made a video and sent it to Karla Ann and showed her the ring. We made plans to meet back at the Saco Heath Preserve at 10:30am and Naz would be getting his ring back.

Once Cheryl and I arrived, we saw Naz and Karla Ann already there. After introducing ourselves, I handed a very happy Naz, his ring back. Karla Ann was fighting back tears and I could see her eyes were watering up. Always a great feeling to to able to help people out with such a sentimental piece of jewelry.

I asked how the ring became lost and Naz told us that he and Karla Ann had come down to Saco, to have their snow tires mounted, for the upcoming winter. Once the left the Rt 1 Saco dealership, they were heading home to Waterboro, when they got a flat tire. They pulled into the parking lot on the Saco Heath Preseve and Naz changed the flat tire. Once back in the vehicle and on the road, Naz noticed his wedding ring was missing. They went back to where they had changed the tire, but didn’t see the wedding ring in the area, around the car. Not knowing if he lost the ring, prior to the flat tire, they drove back to the dealership and searched there. Still no ring was found at the dealership. That’s when Karla Ann made the Facebook Post.

As we were exchanging the ring, Naz showed us where he had parked his vehicle, to change the tire and asked where I found the ring. Where I found the ring was approximately 15-20 feet from where the tire was changed. Naz and Karla Ann hadn’t searched that far out because they thought the ring would be right next to the vehicle. It appears that the ring either rolled away, when he lost it or it flung off his finger. When the ring was found, it did not appear to have been run over or hit by a car.

After saying goodbye to Naz and Karla Ann, they decided to walk the trail of the Saco Heath Preserve. A beautiful easy trail everyone should try. Me, I am told by my better half that I need to mulch leaves. I’d rather be putting smiles on peoples faces, like Karla and Naz, than do yard work but that is where we are at. Congratulations Karla & Naz and thank you for placing your trust in me, The Ring Finders of Maine😀

Diamond Engagement Ring while Throwing Volleyball at T-Street Beach , San Clemente , CA.

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

 

If you need help finding something that can be found with a metal detector.. Call Now, Stan the Metal Detector Man.. 949-500-2136 .. Available 24/7  call anytime

…Kayla  was enjoying a beach party at “T Street Beach”, San Clemente, CA. when she lost her diamond engagement ring in the sand. She was recently engaged and wanted  to show off her beautiful new ring to her friends.

Normally, she would not wear jewelry to the beach. This time was an exception because she would only be sitting on the beach, promising herself to be very careful with her new ring.

She was standing next to the refreshment table when someone unexpectedly tossed her a volleyball. She caught the ball and threw it back to the person. Her new engagement ring went flying off her finger into the sand.

After two hours with a dozen people trying to find the ring, she called me for help. I was on the beach after driving 20 miles a half hour before sunset. It did take awhile to find the ring, because it had landed in a place where there had been an old firepit, littered with nails and aluminum trash. One of the obstacles that interfere with metal detectors is trash metal. One reason to call an experienced metal detector professional. Also it does help to know the general area of the loss. Kayla did her part by marking the spot she was standing when her ring flew off her finger. I showed up in a promptly with the best metal detecting equipment to make this a successful recovery..  I love helping people like Kayla find their cherished sentimental jewelry.

I want to help you, available to give you advice or information on how to search for your lost item .. timing is important. Stan the Ringfinder .. 949-500-2136 .. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.

Lost Gold Arabic Design Wedding Band at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began on 2 November when I got a message asking « How much do you charge to locate a ring? »  from Jose who is in the Army stationed on Oahu.  It’s reward based and that’s always up to the customer.  Since the lagoons were rough and with high tides along with a three day coin show that weekend I told Jose I would hunt Veteran’s Day early morning.  He sent me some excellent photos of the area to hunt.  Since I start on the left side of a grid normally and work to the right it actually took an hour and a half to recover the ring as it was on the extreme right side of the grid as I was begining to think this was going to be a fail.  Jose swung by this evening to pick up his ring.  Smiling & Freed from the dog house!  Aloha to Jose!

Up came TheRingfinders web page so she searched the Directory and found Me! The rest is history.
