 THE MISSING FLOTILLA RING HAS BEEN RECOVERED!!! 💍💍💍
Prayers have been answered!
It’s been a very long and emotional week. A kind samaritan loaned me her metal detector and after hours of searching with no luck, I hit the internet for help. I was able to find a website called The Ring Finders. Feeling apprehensive, but desperate about it, I sent a text to a couple specialists in Minnesota. Within moments, Paul texted me back saying he was loading up and would be to Mille Lacs within 2 hours.
I got him familiarized with the area and on day one he spent 4 hours looking. No luck. He was such an incredible, positive human that he reassured me, « Don’t worry! It hasn’t gone anywhere! It’s here. »
Day 2 he came up again, we both searched for hours, coming up empty handed. He was still positive – « don’t worry, we will find it! ».
Day 3 my husband and I took our pontoon out to the exact spot we were at during Flotilla – about 45 feet from what the GPS coordinates said on my Navionics App and where we were looking (sorry fisherman, GPS lies!). Paul was kind enough to loan us a metal detector until he came back out, so we searched for another few hours. No luck, except for a couple cigar stickers from our group – we knew we were close! I text Paul that night to tell him our findings, explaining we were off by about 45 feet, but I could help get him out to our spot when he came up again.
Day 4, Paul texts me, « are you going to be around today? », of course, I was ready to head out and look again for the ring. Being the positive person he is, he said « are you ready to hear what a ring sounds like ». Of course! Let’s find some gold! Moments later he texts a photo of my ring in his hand!!!!
The cheering squad on the beach is going wild (you know who you are❤️). I’m going crazy, sprinting through the shallows to hug this amazing person who has found my missing ring!
I cannot thank Paul from Ring Finders enough, he is a true angel on Earth!!! If you have anything missing in this lake PLEASE CALL HIM!!!!! His tenacity, dedication and positivity is commendable. TOP NOTCH!!!
To everyone that helped during Flotilla that afternoon THANK YOU. What a call to action and I am so grateful you took time to help. To everyone else that offered advise and suggestions on my previous post, thank you also.
God is good!

Lost ring in lake

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

Received a call from a lovely couple. They were spending a day at the lake in the water when the ring came off her finger. I met them for a quick boat trip out to the island where they were swimming.  Thankfully she marked exactly where she lost it by remembering a tree on the bank in front of her.. The ring was in about four feet of water right where she said it would be. This was a quick search made possible by some quick thinking.  So glad to help this family out.

Lost wedding ring, found in Russian River

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

I was contacted by Russian River adventures in Healsburg Ca. That one of their adventures lost his wedding ring in the river on their boat ride down the river. I told Max to give them my number and have them give me a call to see what I can do for them. Melissa, the wife of Nick. Who had lost his ring at some point but was not exactly sure what location it had fell off in the river. So I explained to them that we can meet in the morning and head out on the river first thing. Because getting there as soon as possible and getting in the right location Are too big factors in a successful recovery. Larry, the owner of Russian River adventures was kind enough to loan us two boats. So we set off to start the search and stopped at a few locations where he thought it might have fallen off while helping his wife and her boat. I searched and they looked as well as they could in the areas but did not find anything. So Nic had mentioned to me that he swam about the last hundred yards to the pick up location. That seemed like the likeliest place for him to have lost his ring.. In my experience.  And I was starting to feel bad that I was not turning up anything for him. So as we got to the very end of the river and fatigue was setting in because the water was getting stronger and we had been looking for hours. I wanted  to take a break. But I had one last signal that I wanted to check before getting out and taking a break. And bingo it was Nicks ring. I called him over and he went down and grabbed his ring and put it on his hand and stuck his hand up above the water. To show us that he had got it..  We all let out a whoop and yell. High-fives and hugs all around. And I was so relieved that I was able to return their precious ring. Overall, it was a great time. Melissa and Nic are really great people. And I was happy to be of service and return the ring. Thank you, Melissa and Nick for your generous reward.

Lost Wedding Rings Found! – Silver Lake, Wisconsin

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Oconomowoc, Wisconsin residents, Ben and Alyson Schmidt were enjoying a July 4th excursion at Silver Lake. That’s when Alyson felt her wedding rings leave her hand in the chest-deep water. Fortunately, she had the presence of mind not to move, to remain standing where she was. When a subsequent search by family members failed to locate the ring in the mud and sand, Ben retrieved a metal mooring fixture and screwed it into the lake bottom where Alyson stood, this to mark the location. In all my years of metal detecting, this was the first time a client had the presence of mind to mark the location with such precision.

After finding me on the Ring Finder’s directory of metal-detecting specialists, I received a text message from Alyson asking if I would assist. The next day I met up with the Schmidts at the boat dock where the loss occurred. The water was crystal clear, making it easy to spot the mooring fixture. I quickly assembled my detection equipment and waded out to the marker. A mixed signal near the marker invited further investigation.

Normally, a ring generates a consistent and repeatable signal. But this signal was not stable. It bounced back and forth between two conductivity numbers which initially made me question if the target was indeed Alyson’s wedding rings. As I drew it to the surface from the lake bottom using a specialized scoop, the sun refracted off many diamonds. Sure enough, it was Alyson’s lost-but- now-found, wedding rings!

Upon examining the rings more closely, I discovered the center ring was hallmarked 18 karat gold while the side rings were 14 karat. It was this tiny, but significant difference that explained the mixed conductivity signal.

The smiles on Ben and Alysa’s faces say it best, “It’s more than a ring!”

Barnstable, MA Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Found, and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 11, 2024

From my home town in Connecticut, Arman was enjoying the Cape Cod’s good beach going weather with a Frisbee in hand, the sandy beach, family and friends when he somehow came to be missing his wedding band. No one moved, all looked very intensely for the lost piece of metal that held 11 years of memories. Not wanting to give up, Arman’s wife Mina, “Googled” for someone to help find the wayward ring. As often happens my name came up in a link with TheRingFinders.com and a text was sent my way.

I was out and enjoying a dinner with my wife and a long time metal detecting friend Eleanor. I did not check my text messages until the next morning. I answered it and was on my to the the beach for another recovery attempt. I spent more time talking with Arman about our home town than it took me to locate his ring.

My first good signal was a coin that I had Arman’s son remove from my scoop and to keep as a treasure from Cape Cod. Later he also was very grateful when I gave him one of my TheRingFinders.com cards for him to keep.

Back to the search, my second good target, which I was sure, was Arman’s ring was about 5 minutes later, just beyond the original suggested area to search. I took a picture then had Arman remove the ring from my scoop which he did with no hesitation, brushed the sand off and replaced it on his finger. More picture, stories, and old and current information about our home town was a welcome change from metal detecting stories although a few bits were part of our conversation. It all ended with a great feeling for the Cape and desire to return next year with smiles that will last through the coming year.

Lost Wedding Ring, Spring Hill, Fl. …Found!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)
Contact:


Steve Thomas
Dunedin Ring Finder   lostringdunedin.com

“It’s only lost until I find it!”

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

While I was in Texas with my wife Jan for the birth of our second grandson Anson and visiting with his brother Tillman and parents Joe and Madison (our daughter), I was contacted by Michelle from the Weeki Wachee/Spring Hill Florida area in early May who told me that she lost her wedding ring while doing yard work. Even though the ring had been lost in a location that could not be searched by anyone without Michelle’s permission, I asked Michelle if she would like to wait until I returned to Florida to search for her or if she prefer that I try to contact another trusted detectorist to search as soon as possible. Michelle told me that she could wait until my return and because we would be driving back from Texas in three weeks and passing within five minutes of her home, I could search for her then.

At the end of May, we headed back to Florida, stopping several places along the way. The day before we were to pass by Michelle’s home, I contacted her and set up a time to meet her. As we got close to the loss location the next day, Michelle texted to say that something had come up and that she would not be able to meet me for the search. I told her that we would set up another time after I returned home.

Michelle and I were able to set up another search time several weeks later and that day I made the hour long drive with my detecting buddy Jim Facinelli who was going to assist in this search as well as another search for a ring in the cool spring water at Crystal River.

We arrived at Michelle’s home and shortly after, we received some more details about the loss and we began our search. Michelle and her husband had been working on their irrigation system in the left side front yard which involved a lot of digging when she realized that her ring was missing from her finger. She had thoroughly searched the area which was more dirt than grass but had been unable to find it. Michelle’s daughter Christalynn had earlier searched with her own beginners metal detector but had been unable to find her mother’s ring. Jim and I scanned the area for about 45 minutes and dug several coins along with various pieces of scrap metal. There was very little grass for a ring to hide in but that area had seen some vehicle traffic in addition to the irrigation work so the ring could have been pushed further under the ground surface. The loss area was not large and Michelle was certain that she had lost her ring in this area so we gridded it several times and dug every target. I dug a possible gold target near a utility pole and out popped Michelle’s wedding ring from about a two inch depth! I held up the ring to show Jim and we both celebrated. As Michelle and her daughter had gone inside the house to take a quick break from the heat, Jim suggested that we have Christalynn come outside with her metal detector and “find” the ring. We reburied the ring and had Michelle and Christalynn come outside to the spot and Christalynn got a signal on her detector and began digging. She dug up a penny near the ring before she found the ring and proudly handed it to her mother! Thanks to Jim for that great idea and his assistance with the search.

Michelle, thank you for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder to find and return your ring almost two months after you lost it!

Engagement Ring Lost in Sand at Park in Pasadena the Day Before…Found and Joyfully Returned.

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

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

Adam contacted me about a ring his wife had lost the day before at local park. She had taken her child to the park to play, and fearing the loss of her ring, she took it off, and put it « safely » in her pocket. She also had her phone in that pocket, and her glasses too, both of which she removed in and out multiple times while her child was playing. Knowing that time is the enemy of a successful recovery, and that a day had already passed, I encouraged a search the same day. He agreed, and said his wife would meet me at the park to show me where to look.

When I arrived Stephani was waiting for me, and after some arrangements with the staff at the park, took me to the first of two areas she believed the loss occurred. I had my 11 inch coil on the detector, but brought my 6 inch coil just to be sure I could search everything. I went over the first area with some difficulty because of some of the metal around the benches and boundaries of the sand pit, and didn’t find the ring. we then went over to the other area which turned out to be a little more difficult, so I changed to the 6 inch coil, and was able to search the spot extensively. Stephani asked what I was wanting to hear, that we could search the first area again. I wanted to go over with the 6 inch coil to be sure I could get in close to the spots that had built in metal. I was working in close to one of the benches, when I received a nice solid tone, put in my pin pointer, and found her ring. When I showed her, there an outpouring of emotion, and she ran off to show her husband, and tell him the good news. It is so fun to be able to turn someone’s broken heart into a joyful one, and in that, this day was a success.

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again. I search, Beverly Hills, Hermosa Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Northridge, Pasadena, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Seal Beach, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Venice Beach, Zuma Beach, and all parks, yards, gardens, and ponds (to 5 foot depths) in all of Orange County, all of Los Angeles County, Southern California, and Ventura County.

Desloge, MO. – Lost Gold Ring Found in Yard

  • from Fredericktown (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Wade on June 29th stating that his wife (Amy) had lost her ring while working in the yard.  He said he found my web page on theringfinders site.  He asked if I could come out and possibly find the ring.  I said, “Absolutely!”

So I met with Amy on July 1st and she proceeded to map out her steps the day she lost her ring.  She said she had taken her ring off and put it in her pocket so she didn’t lose it while working in the yard.  As the day went on she had reached in her pocket at some point and that’s when it fell out.  She didn’t realize it at that moment, but later did!

Because Amy was able to give me accurate footsteps throughout her day, it contributed greatly to the recovery.  After searching for about an hour,  I finally got on a solid 7 signal on the Equinox 600.  I was very hopeful at this point.  My wife Jane was with me on this hunt and I asked her to bring the pin-pointer over.  As I moved the grass aside we spotted it!   We gave each other a high-five!   “YES!”

Amy was inside her house with her grands so I called her up and asked her to come on out.  Well, you know the rest of the story;  I gladly put the 2 carat diamond ring back in her hand where it belonged.   She hugged both of us as she was thrilled to get it back!

What a Great way to start the month!!

TESTIMONIAL

I’m very grateful to Mr parker (FredMo lost treasure) for finding my diamond ring that I had lost a few weeks prior doing yard work.

My family & I looked for several days.  I was to the point…it’s gone.

We tried our grandkids metal detector they use to play with at the beach….

Nothing but nails. lol 

My husband googled jewelry or treasure finder… Mr Parker’s name came up, we called & made an appointment for Mr Parker to come out.

I showed him the area I was in, retracing my steps to him & ONE HOUR LATER HE FOUND IT!!!  I was so happy I’m in tears! 

I told my husband & boys afterwards they were so happy for me. 

We are very happy for the service he provided. 

Thank you so much Mr Parker…..

Wade & Amy

Lost wedding ring, Beach Haven NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Beach Haven NJ LBI JERSEY SHORE

It was a beautiful afternoon when I took a glance at my phone. I noticed I was tagged many times on a local Facebook page, where Jim had posted about his lost wedding ring on a local beach on LBI. His post was worded as a last chance effort to locate his wedding ring he lost the prior day in the sand in Beach Haven. Not long after Jim called me, and he basically wrote this off as a LONG shot of ever seeing his cherished wedding ring again. After getting all the details I explained I was at a family party and would be able to go later on around dinner time, and requested for him to leave some chairs set up to secure the location he believed the ring to be hiding. He agreed, but really didn’t seem to have much hope, as he had stated “its a long shot”. I got to the beach and with the beautiful warm temperatures inland, and the cold ocean water, the beach was socked in with heavy fog. When I got to the dune walkover I didn’t see any signs of the location he marked, but once I walked about half way to the ocean, I could vaguely see a lonely folded chair, on a damp and dreary beach. I turned on my machine, and walked in the direction of the chair. about 20 feet from the chair, in a direct path to the dune walkover opening, my metal detector let off a tone which I call BINGO !!!! And sure enough, Jims ring was in my sand scoop. I snapped a few pictures as usual, and sent them to Jim in a text. He responded in total amazement, as I just performed what he had considered impossible. Jim was just down the road having dinner at one of best locations in Beach Haven NJ, and agreed to meet next door in the Wawa parking lot. Another fantastic recovery in the books, doing what many write off as an impossible task. Its the heart felt expressions, and the challenge of the hunt that drive me.
