Lost Wedding Ring Found! – Franksville, Wisconsin

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

A memorable bird hunt with his father and Dutton, a gorgeous Golden Retriever, ended on a sad note when Franksville, Wisconsin resident, Joe Rampulla lost his wedding ring.

It happened later in the day while removing burs that had become entangled in Dutton’s thick coat. As he flicked the burs from his hand the yellow-gold and tantalum wedding band flew off, vanishing somewhere behind his parent’s home. Despite searching for hours and even using a metal detector, the ring could not be found.

Joe located me on theringfinders.com directory of metal detecting specialists. I made arrangements to meet him the following day.

Spreading junipers, garden foliage and landscape stones in the area made the search challenging. Additionally, my detector came alive with signals and with spurious electromagnetic interference. Buried electrical wiring and an invisible dog fence close by were the cause.

After changing frequencies and making other adjustments on my detector, the ‘noise’ settled down in my headset. I carefully probed the bushes and flowers using a pin-pointing instrument, but Joe’s ring was nowhere in the area. It was when I expanded the search location that I heard a promising signal further away in the lawn. Parting the blades of grass revealed an unmistakable rim of gold. And the smile on Joe’s face tells the rest of the story!

Joe, I’m so glad we were able to get your ring back on your hand!

Lost Cellphone Recovered at Dillsburg, Pennsylvania

  • from Harrisburg (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

I received a text from a young man and by the context I knew he was a bit frantic.  He informed me that his one-week old cellphone fell as he looked down from a bridge over a creek.  Despite his efforts, he decided to check our website and contacted me.  I arranged to meet him at the location that same day.

Fortunately, the deepest part of the creek was only 3 feet.  I thought it would not take long to recover the phone but after using an underwater detector and a pointer for 1.5 hours I elected to bring out another detector.

I was using a scoop to check targets.  As each scoop was brought to the surface, and there were many, I could see the concern in the expression of the owner.  Finally, I noticed a number of targets.  Some, I knew were iron, but among them there was one that I felt was promising.  I told the owner that I would not move until that one item no longer appeared on my detector.  With one final scoop, there was the phone.

I wish I could have recorded the look on his face as I handed him the phone.  He was very excited to say the least.

He knew how to handle a phone that had been submerged.  Eight hours later he texted me from that very phone and stated, « It works! »

LOST GOLD WEDDING RING RECOVERED, TICONDEROGA, NY

  • from Saratoga Springs (New York, United States)
Contact:

Little did I know that day I would be driving the almost 2 hours up to Ticonderoga, NY to find a wedding ring which was almost given up on.

Joe and Rebecca and four other family members were staying at a B n’B on a lake in Ticonderoga.  Joe told me he was « pretty sure » he lost the ring while playing football the day before. All six family members had searched every square inch of the yard all day and even in the night. They even bought a metal detector and tried to no avail. They had little hope left.  While I cannot guarantee that I will find a ring, I can at times, depending on the situation, feel fairly confident. This was one of those times. Still, I felt, even after I arrived, that they did not have much hope. I was the last resort. Better to try and know you have done everything you could than to regret it for years to come. That’s what I told them.  They would be leaving the B n’B the next day.

I arrived and got down to work. My heart sank when I heard so many signals in the gold range. « This is not going to be so easy, I thought to myself. »  And it wasn’t. I would have to go real slow and quickly calculate every signal and make a quick decision in my head. Finally after what seemed like forever I had the signal I was looking for. Could this be it? I parted the grass and down in the roots was the glimmer of gold. I was thrilled. Containing my excitement, I called Rebecca and Joe over. I didn’t touch the ring. I wanted them to have the joy of seeing it in situ and picking it off the ground. I pointed to the spot and said, « what do you see? »  « Nothing. » they replied.  I pointed even closer. Still they saw nothing. I practically put my finger right on the ring the third time and finally they saw it, almost made invisible by the golden color of the grass roots. Rebecca started crying she was so shocked and happy.  The family gathered round to celebrate. It was like winning the Super Bowl when all the chips were down. Case closed. Ring found. Happy family. Happy Mark. Call Mark’s Detecting 518-677-0895.

GOLD WEDDING RING FOUND IN HUDSON RIVER, QUEENSBURY, NY

  • from Saratoga Springs (New York, United States)
Contact:

Matt called me and told me the story of how he lost his gold wedding band in the Hudson river. In short, he was standing on the end of the dock and went to catch a football and he felt his ring slide right off his finger. The ring fell into the river about 7 feet deep.  He knew exactly where it fell, but after searching  for a couple of hours with goggles he was unable to locate it.  The bottom of the river was full of deep muck so it was impossible to see the ring or much of anything else. That’s when he called me.

I drove the hour to Queensbury the next day as it was too late to go that same day. I took a friend with me who happened to be visiting which was a good thing because this was going to be one of the most difficult searches. We are both lifeguards and good swimmers but the difficulties seemed endless. Visibility was poor, the ring was in the muck, the current was strong and staying down 6 feet in a mostly vertical position was near impossible. We didn’t have any scuba gear, only my mask. It would have been near impossible to use the big detector down there so I only used the hand probe. I located the ring with in the first five minutes, but the retrieval under such conditions was extremely difficult. Marking the spot, relocating the signal, fighting the current, drifting under the dock and having no reference of where your body was in the darkness once you were down there and  becoming hypothermic were all obstacle that we had to overcome one way or another.  You would have to have been there to fully understand the situation. Long story short, two hours after locating the first signal we finally were able to scoop out the ring in the scooper. The relief and joy we felt were priceless. I had the great pleasure of calling Matt that evening and telling him the good news. He was elated. Since he lived in another state I shipped him the ring the very next day.  I told him, « no more football on the dock! »

Blades of Glory…

As Larry was mowing the grass for the last time this year he was emptying the bag into some compost piles. Hours later he noticed his ring missing. Back at work the next day his wife Cindy texted me the information on the disappearance. Setting up my MXT metal detector I told her this detector will bring lawn and order back to the yard. Scanning the detector coil thru the compost piles I got a nice solid signal. Reaching thru the pile with my pin-pointer I got a location and pulled out Larry’s ring! Handing it to Cindy I held my detector coil up to the brim of my hat to say goodbye and she said thanks for the cutting-edge service…. I said, my pleasure, it’s been a lawn time coming.

Cartier Love Ring Lost in Chester River…Found by Detectorist Brian Rudolph in Chestertown, Maryland

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)
Contact:

Millie’s 14 karat yellow gold Cartier Love Ring which ring finder Brian Rudolph was able to recover from the bottom of the Chester River in Chestertown, Maryland.

Millie and Dustin celebrate the returned of an irreplaceable wedding band that meant the world to this couple. They were beyond grateful to have item recovery specialist Brian Rudolph conduct the water search and recovery project for them.

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (also known as THE RING HERO) searches  Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses and Vehicles. He Will Find Your Lost Item! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Millie and her husband Dustin, along with some of their family were enjoying their time together out on the Chester River. They had a blast boating, swimming and partaking of a delicious picnic. At some point during their fun getaway, Millie looked down at her hand and she realized that her beautiful 14 karat yellow gold Cartier Love Ring was no longer on her finger.

For the next couple of hours, the family diligently searched in the water to see if maybe they could feel the ring with their toes in an attempt to recover the precious wedding band. Unfortunately, Millie, Dustin, her sister, brother-in-law and father were all unable to locate and retrieve the ring from the bottom of the river.

At some point later on in the day, Millie and Dustin decided to look on the internet see if there were any metal detectorists who had the capability of doing a metal detecting search in a depth of about 4 feet of water. As they browsed online, the couple found information on John Favano, a highly successful metal detectorist located throughout the New Jersey area. John was too far from their area so he referred the couple to me and that’s when I entered into the story.

After going through all of the details regarding the loss of Millie’s beloved wedding band, I agreed to help the couple and we planned for me to drive approximately 4 hours to Chestertown, Maryland. I had been metal detecting down in Southern Virginia, so the trip to meet up with the couple was going to be a pretty significant journey.

The next day, I arrived at the family estate where we all boarded their pontoon boat and headed off to a lovely deserted cove where the ring was believed to have slipped off of Millie’s finger. I made sure that I loaded up all of the necessary detecting equipment to give me the best chance of success.

When we arrived at the search site, we anchored along the shore and I immediately got to work. As soon as I got answers to all of my questions regarding the spots where Millie may have been swimming when the ring fell off, I began setting up all of my professional waterproof gear and eventually entered the water to start the search.

At first, I picked up a few random signals which did not convince me that the Cartier love ring was being detected. However, I wanted to make sure that I checked out every possible target just to be on the safe side. A few minutes later, I decided to switch up my detectors due to the mineralization challenges that I began to face in that particular body of water. I reentered the water and within a few minutes I hit a perfect target signal that fell into the range of Millie’s type of gold jewelry.

Millie, Dustin, her sister and brother-in-law along with their father waited with much anticipation to see if what I had detected in the water was in fact the missing irreplaceable keepsake. I put my scuba BCD on, loaded up the weight pockets, placed my dive mask on and duck dove into the water to retrieve the mysterious object below.

I am excited to share that when my fingers touched the item in the midst of all of the sand and silt, I could immediately tell that what I was going to bring up to the surface was indeed the ring! And that’s exactly what it was! I recovered Millie’s classy yellow gold Cartier Love Ring!

Everyone was so thrilled at my announcement that Millie’s precious jewel was coming back to her left ring finger! We all celebrated and gave each other hugs out of such pure elation and gratitude!

There’s nothing more exciting than to help people recover special items like the one that I was able to retrieve from the depths of the Chester River for my clients! I thought that the trip to the cove where the search took place was beyond breathtaking. Well, our victory cruise back to shore happened to be even more thrilling!

Property Surveys Cost Thousands…Save by Hiring a Metal Detectorist

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)
Contact:

One of four property markers that Brian Rudolph of METAL DETECTING ADVENTURES INC was able to successfully identify for his clients Kylie and Matt

Brian Rudolph of METAL DETECTING ADVENTURES INC poses for a photo with one of four property stakes which Rudolph successfully identified for his clients in Fairfax, Virginia

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (also known as THE RING HERO) searches  Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses and Vehicles. He Will Find Your Lost Item! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Kylie and Matt could not believe how expensive a property survey would cost them if they hired a professional surveyor to locate their four property stakes.

The couple wanted to widen their driveway and it was imperative that they identified where their property borders were located. Instead of paying up to $2,600 for a surveyor to come out to their home, they tried to find the property pins on their own.

They first tried finding the pins with a metal detector, but all of their attempts to identify the corners of their property led to no avail. Then, they searched online for a professional metal detectorist and that’s when I came into the story.

After talking with Matt on the phone, my client was confident that I was the right person for the job in helping the couple find their lost property markers. I came over about a week later and I successfully located all four pins for Kylie and Matt!

It is not easy to uncover lost property markers because there is so much metal in the ground to deal with. That’s why it takes a skilled detectorist to be able to identify the iron stakes buried beneath the earth.

If you need immediate assistance in helping to identify where your lost property markers are buried, please call METAL DETECTING ADVENTURES INC at 301-466-8644.

I will be happy to help you in any way I can to save you money and help you determine where you can put up your new fence or widen your driveway!
