Recently I received another call to help find 2 diamond rings that went missing after the ring box was thrown up a hillside nights beforehand.

After speaking with Carlos we set up a time to meet at the Apartment complex he was during the loss. As soon as we met, There was a downside seeing those loud landscaping crews cleaning the exact bushy hillside where the ring box was tossed!  I try not to get discouraged hoping that it wasn’t found in plain site already so I turned on my Metal detector, Then began ruling out each section of this roughly 20X30’ slope to determine the rings were not on there.

So back to a few more questions such as where the ring box was found, When he points just over the fence on top of the hill in an abandoned field. So I quickly hopped over then scanned back & fourth until I was confident they did not fall near the ring box. I wasn’t sure how good of an arm he had but needed to know if the rings could of fallen out of the box ending up further…

So on I we went to the very back lot and worked towards the box this time. Shortly after we were running out of possibilities,,,I began saying something to Carlos while swinging my detector machine and heard a quick beep..As I glance down in the Gravel,,I see the big diamond ring and nearly stepped on it!   I pointed right at it carrying on the conversation to surprise him and that sure did!  He was stoked in in relief,,There it is I said;!  Shortly after the first celebration,,Just 6-8’ feet around a big pile of dirt,,Another celebration,,We both simultaneously saw it relaxing in the sun.!

There is never a Monday or bad day in the metal detecting Hobby,,,Because It’s not like a job!

Key Fob Lost In Standish, Maine Found Visually, While Searching With A Metal Detector

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

On Saturday morning , May 25th, 2024, I received the following voicemail
“Yeah, my name is Stephanie. I called you yesterday but I’m not sure that I actually got the right number because the number that comes up on my phone is a six. Six number. I’ve lost a Key fob in Standish, probably about a half an hour from Saco. I know it’s a holiday weekend, so maybe this isn’t possible but if you could Let me know if it’s a possibility for us to get together I’d appreciate it you can text me, at your convenience. My number is 2 0 7- ***-**** .
Thanks bye-bye…”

I was driving back from Portland, but immediately called Stephanie back. I told Stephanie that I did not receive her voicemail, from the previous day, but that I would certainly be able to help her. It was now approximately 9:30am and I told Stephanie I would be there at approximately 11:00am, just needing to get to my home, in Saco, Maine and pick up my Metal Detecting equipment and drive to Standish, a suburb of Portland, Maine and Windham, Maine.
I arrived at the location, where the Key Fob had been lost, at 11:20am. Stephanie and her husband Tom, arrived 5 minutes later. Stephanie explained that 4 days earlier she had driven to this location and parked next to the walking and ATV trail. Shen then proceeded to walk down the road, stopping at certain locations, on both sides, of the road, to view and smell the many flowers. When she finished her walk, she noticed the Key Fob was no longer, in her pocket. She retraced her steps, on both sides of the road, including down in the ditch, along rock walls, in areas she had traversed, to see the flowers. She could not find the key fob. She then walked 3 miles home and then back to the car, with the spare key fob. Over the next few days, Stephanie returned and searched the area again, this time, getting down into the ditch and searching through the many leaves and brush. Still not successful, Stephanie was telling a friend what had happened and the friend told her to contact me, The Ring Finders of Maine.

Stephanie and Tom took me a few steps up the road, to where Stephanie thought the key fob, may be. It was down, in the ditch and covered with leaves and twigs. As I was searching, I was finding the usual road side trash, of bottle caps, vape pens and cans, but no key fob. As I came out of the ditch, I was walking at the top of the ditch and searching along the path, Stephanie had walked, days earlier. Stephanie was visually searching near me and her husband, Tom was visually searching, about 75 feet ahead of us. I was still only finding road side trash, when we heard Tom yell out to Stephanie to come meet him, up ahead. I continued my search and saw Stephanie and Tom, walking back to me. When they reached me, they showed me the key fob. TOM HAD FOUND THE KEY FOB, while visually searching, about 75 feet, up the road. Nothing like dual optical scanners (Eyes 👀) to successfully find the key fob. Tom had left the road side and saw them, laying next to a rock wall, approximately 10-15 feet from the road. Outstanding job Tom and he was then rewarded with a big kiss.
Another team effort, in locating Stephanie’s key fob. It may not have been found by a Metal Detector but Stephanie doesn’t care. She has it back and didn’t need to replace her Key Fob , at a cost of $325.00. We all left, very happy. And great day and story for my “Book of Smiles”

Lost Titanium Ring Found in Livonia Michigan

Contact:

Planted !

As the holiday approached, Peter was anxious to begin his landscaping project so he could be done in time to have a nice relaxing day. Moving quickly thru the tasks he was thrilled when completed. Putting the tools away he noticed his ring was missing. Since he had been to a few stores and was working all over the yard he wondered where could it be? Seeds of doubt started to take root. Not beating around the bush, I started to grid search where Peter best remembered where he had the ring on. My MXT metal detector was quiet as it scanned over the new mulch beds, berms and the flower areas. Near 2 thick and deep-rooted plants at the edge of a tall berm, the metal detector gave me that everything’s coming up roses sound. Digging down a bit my pin pointer vibrated as I got near the metal. Feeling thru the dirt revealed a handsome titanium ring! Handing it to him I said that this form of titanium probably wouldn’t help these plants! After a few laughs, Peter was thrilled that this issue was nipped in the bud and now he can take the time to stop and smell the roses.

Diamond Ring Recovered from Recliner in Henderson, NV

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from a woman who lost her engagement ring while sitting in a recliner. As we all know, rings are not usually where people THINK they are. I explained that a metal detector generally does not perform well in a house and most certainly will NOT work in a recliner!! I did suggest that I have other equipment that might aid in the search. She agreed to my show up fee, so I went to her house immediately. Just before I was to leave, I received another message « to bring my metal detector too ». (That prompted the idea that maybe she wasn’t exactly positive as to where the ring might have been lost. However in this case she was correct. It was in the recliner. I used my new Depstech endoscope DS700 and did a preliminary search….NOTHING! I then suggested that we turn over the recliner to see if I could access the areas through a different location. In the process of turning over the recliner, I heard a clink! That was a clue that something loose was UNDER the fabric. I cut a small section of the fabric and with the endoscope was able to see the lost ring. In hind site, I wish I had taken a photo using the endoscope, but alas, I didn’t. I had to make a larger cut to retrieve the ring. She WAS correct about the location and the Ring was retrieved by hand.

Ring found through teamwork! Omaha Nebraska

  • from Lincoln (Nebraska, United States)
Contact:

I was busy out of town metal detecting some properties that got hit by recent tornadoes helping recover anything I could. My phone rang and Amy found me on The Ring Finders directory and asked if I had time to help her. 25 minutes later we were talking, laying out cones and grid lines in the ballpark where she lost her ring. Because of the design of the ring it was extremely difficult to get a strong signal. Long story short she went back home with it on her finger, exactly how we want these stories to end.

This Precious diamond band was lost somewhere around the exterior home during moving hay bails. I was contacted & asked if I could urgently find it before they had to move from the rental house that was getting bulldozed & developed into Multi-housing units this year!

  Once there,, She explained to me the many possible areas it could have fallen while doing some work outside. After scanning my Metal detector in the front & Side grass sections along with a few pieces of buried trash,, My detector machine told me there was no gold signals in that range left so we moved on to the trash cans,,After emptying both onto a tarp we were able to scan & sift throughout to make sure it didn’t get thrown away that day. Only the short back yard areas mixed with grass,Cement & the hay bails were left to detect over. Like a process of illumination I ruled out 98% of the areas where this precious gold ring is NOT,,,But not until the very last hay bail we moved around,,,And both yelled out in excitement….There it is;)

This lost ring was recovered before the Tonka Trucks/Bulldozers hauled it away! Gotta love this rewarding Hobby,,,Thank goodness it’s NOT a job because those contain Bossholes!

Man’s Gold Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On Wednesday May 22nd at about 7:45 p.m. I received a text from Jim stating in part, “About 530 tonight I lost my wedding band on the beach while walking the dog.” Instead of texting, I called him to discuss the details. He told me that he had cut his ring finger, and the ring was irritating that finger. He continued saying after wearing the ring for I think he said 30 years; he had to basically pry the ring off. He moved the ring to his little finger, which fit, but may have been a little loose. He also said the walk was 3 blocks one way but added that he had walked along the top of the tide line and the dry sand. We agreed to meet this morning at 10 am.

We met at 10 and walked out on the beach. He showed me the path he took, and I started an east/west grid. After about 30 minutes, I decided I’d walk down the beach to where the walk started. My thought was the ring was more likely to have fallen off his finger at the start or end rather than in the middle, maybe. Close to 3 hours, I called Jim and told him I was going to take a break and would be back in a few hours. As we’re talking, he said that he and his wife had been talking through the situation. He mentioned to me that when the walk was over, he had washed the dog’s mouth out using his left hand at the resort’s wash station. I had one of those aha moments! I ask him if he knew whether I could get access below the deck of the station, and he wasn’t sure. I told him I was coming down to the resort to check out the wash station. I mentioned that with his ring being a little loose, trying to manipulate the dog, and his hand being wet, it might be possible the ring slipped off there. When I got to his resort he was waiting outside. We walked back to the wash station, and he showed me which shower he was used. There was no access below the shower, but the floor planks were butted up against each other with no gaps between the wood. I made my way to the side of the shower and tried to use the detector, but I had the big 15-inch coil on the machine, and I wasn’t able to use the detector. I didn’t have my pin pointer, so I started moving through the weeds doing a visual inspection. Bingo, I moved some ground cover and saw Jim’s ring lying on the ground. I didn’t say anything but just held it up between my fingers. Jim was in mid-sentence when he saw it and just stopped and froze, I could see the relief in him.

Jim – thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure.

Jim

Wedding ring lost in field, Holmdel NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

lost ring lbi nj ring finder jersey shore ring finder I received a call from a gentleman who was inquiring about my ring finding service. He was basically gathering information for his son, Nick. He explained that Nick was off loading some hay bales,  when one of the strings grabbed his wedding ring and flung it out into the cow pasture. We discussed how my services work, which he felt was extremely reasonable. His one main concern was that they had been looking for the ring about 1 week already, with a pretty decent metal detector, and had absolutely no luck finding it. He was wondering if the same thing would happen when I came in to try and locate the ring. I had explained that unless you are extremely experienced in recovering lost items, it could be very challenging, especially in a cow pasture with about a week of rain. Talk about smelly and muddy to say the least. He was going to talk it over with his son, and assured me I would most likely get a phone call in the next day or so. This was a private location so there was no rush. As  figured, Nick sent me a text asking if I wanted to give it a shot, to which I replied, absolutely! Nick’s one concern was being he had no luck, what do I think the odds of me finding the ring were. I assured Nick that if he was 100% positive his ring came off in the manner that was explained the night before, I was just about that positive I would be able to recover his ring. We made arrangements to meet after work that day. Once I arrived I put on my boots and out to the location we went. Again, as I do  with every,  I went over and over again exactly what, where, and how the ring flew off. After about 25 minutes covering every inch in multiple directions, all I had was a pouch full of trash. Actually, I was starting to think his ring may have not came off where he said. We took a few steps back to survey the location, and the only thing possible was the hay trailer was about 10’ or so closer to the road side of the field. I worked one or two paths from the already covered spot, and my machine let out the sweet sound of success!!!! I bent over and pushed the slop around until my pin pointer held a steady sound, and just as I figured, there was Nicks ring. I so so love when my clients are positive they know when their items fly off. Thank you agin Nick, it was a pleasure.
