Eileen called me and asked if I could help her find a lost Mercedes Benz vehicle fob/key and she was quite sure it was somewhere in one of two cars. Apparently she had unloaded some things from one car to another and in the process she misplaced the only fob/key that she had for her older Mercedes. She looked numerous times through the car, her purse, the trunk, under the seats and everywhere she could possibly imagine…but she could not find her lost key. When she called me I could hear the stress and discouragement in her voice and I assured her I would come out and conduct a thorough search of both vehicles. I arrived Saturday morning and got right to work going through both cars with a fine tooth comb and my extra strong flashlight. After 40 minutes…NOTHING! Eileen thought that maybe someone walked by while she was moving things back and forth and possibly picked her key up off of the ground. Or maybe a crow picked it up and flew off with it! As a final effort was made to locate her lost key I sat in her older vehicles driver seat and reached up and moved the double sun visors that covered the front window and I noticed something moved…right where the two visors overlap…and sure enough there was her fob…nestled down between the two visors. The fob/key was hidden in the perfect hiding place…not visible from either side! Eileen was over joyed and how I thank God for helping me to be able to find her lost key!

Found Heirloom Gold Ring on Carport Roof

  • from Sunset Beach (California, United States)

I had a text message when I woke up today that came through at 2am. Ananya asked me to help look for her ring by the carport at her apartment complex. She flung her arm up in the air and her ring went flying and was nowhere to be found. I searched the area but couldn’t find it and that’s when she mentioned it could be on the carport roof. The landlord had a ladder I used to access the roof and sure enough I spotted Ananya’s gold ring which was passed down from her grandmother.

Carmel Beach ring lost, then found

  • from Monterey (California, United States)

Was able to help Leiana & her husband recover their lost ring on Carmel Beach.   She had gotten up from their beach blanket area, and was brushing the sand off their beach chairs, towels, etc…   And saw her ring launch, off yonder, to the dry sand.  Which immediately swallowed up her gold ring, hiding it from view.   They had an approx . area, where they suspected it flew off too.

 

Glad I was able to help !   Thanx for the tip !

Lost Tantalum Wedding Ring Found in Metairie, Louisiana

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)

I received a text message from a man in Metairie, Louisiana who had lost his tantalum wedding band while playing fetch with his dog in the backyard. He’d searched everywhere in the vicinity and even tried using a cheap metal detector he had at home, but with no luck. I headed over after work, took a quick look at the yard, and within about five minutes my Nokta Makro Simplex Ultra locked onto a clean target. The ring was hiding just under the grass about 20 feet in front of the spot he thought it had fallen off. Another successful recovery and a very relieved owner! Always glad to bring these sentimental items back to the owner.

Wedding Ring Found In Backyard, Nashville, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)

Kerry sent me a text stating her father(Gary)lost his wedding ring around the end of October. He was throwing grass clippings out of his mower bag into the long grass outside the mowed grass. They had cut the grass in the suspected area and also used a metal detector with no luck. I met David, son of Gary, at the site and I gave him another detector to help me search. After about a 1/2 hr with no luck, David had to leave and I stayed around to expand the search area. Shorty after I found the ring about 4 feet outside the area they had mowed down and cleared. In the picture the ring was found right at the end of my coil on the metal detector. The timing of this find is kind of special because on Dec 11th Gary and Kathleen will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. I called David and met him later to hand over the ring and he would deliver the ring to his Dad. What a way to brighten your day, it sure did mine.

Found Ring of Iron? Not all Gold is jewelry!

  • from Orange (California, United States)

I received a call from Richard today at lunchtime, while I was at work. He needed my help finding a …..Pipe!  Hmmm I thought, okay, I can do that!
He had purchased an old house with a Guest house in the back, as well, and he and his wife are restoring it. This past week we had three days of heavy rain here in California, and he noticed water in his back house basement coming from an electrical box!  Upon investigation he found that there was a pipe leading from the main house, to the back house under the concrete patio, across the lawn and under a concrete walkway into the corner of the basement!

Over 3 days, he captured 10 Gallons of water into buckets, and needed to find where this pipe was so he could repair it.
His contractor told him it would be about $3,000 to break up the concrete to find it and remove/replace it as it was likely metal pipe being such an old home.
Richard had a pretty good idea where he thought it came under the patio, but after probing down several inches witout finding it, he had a friend tell him about TheRingFinders.com so he called me.

I told him I could come out after work, and he was delighted. Grabbing my warm clothes, headlamp (because it is dark out now at 6:30PM), my Equinox 800 with large coil, and a handfull of White Golf Tee’s, I headed out to Whittier, about a 45 minute drive.
I started searching and listening for the Iron Grunt low sounds, I found a good repeatable spot and placed a Golf Tee in the grass. I continued across the yard, and kept placing Golf Tee’s and as you can guess, a straight line emerged pretty fast. All the way to the Concrete walkway just about where he expected it!
He grabbed a small shovel and began to dig, but could not get deep enough. I used my pinpointer, and there was tone for sure. I dug around deeper and soon hit rusty dirt, then paydirt! There was the pipe, and old 1″ Iron pipe, but we also uncovered a PVC Sprinkler pipe shallower so it was good to not have hit that!

The pipe was about a foot deep, not several inches like he had expected.
He was so happy, and while not a Book of Smiles Ring, a big smile for a ring of Iron pipe and thousands saved!
Thanks Richard for using TheRingFinders.com

Lost Cartier Love Ring on Miami Beach

  • from Miami (Florida, United States)

This couple was down on vacation when her Cartier Love Ring fell off in the shallow water while swimming.  They immediately called me and I was able to head over and search for her lost ring.  What should have been an easy recovery proved to be a little more difficult.  The tide had changed and when she lost it it was low tide and when I got there it was dead high tide.  What was once waist high water was now up to my neck and the waves were building.  I didn’t think I was going to find it, at this point I was on my tippy toes.  But after about 15 min I got the right signal:-). She was happy.

In the pictures above, I actually met Laura a few months ago while I was doing a recovery on the beach.  After I got out of the water she approached me and asked me about my service.  She made a little Instagram video of it, which would later turn out useful because she too would lose a ring and need my services.  This was a little different because she lost her ring at a Miami Beach waterfront restaurant.  The lobby and seating area were on beach sand and she was not able to find it once it came off and hit the sand.  She remember me and my metal detecting service and gave me a call.  I met her and her husband there the next day and I was able to find it within about 30 seconds:-).
Again, if this has happened to you, give me a call and I’ll help you find your lost item.
