Property Markers (4) Found In Cherry Grove, SC

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

On Wednesday, May 8th I received a voicemail from Anne Marie, in part asking if I could help find property markers. She also said they had purchased a cheap metal detector, and it was going off, but they couldn’t find the markers. She said she had attempted to call the surveyor that had done their original survey but couldn’t get a hold of them. Their intentions are to install a fence. I returned her call and told her I’d be glad to look for the markers and we agreed to meet today, Friday.

Today, as I was getting ready to go, I was checking my equipment, and my pin pointer wasn’t working properly. Not good! I had to stop by my Detector dealer and pick up a new pin pointer and then was on my way. When I got there, I met Anne Marie and her husband Dave, and we got to work. Anybody that’s ever looked for property markers knows there’s always at least 1 that is very elusive, in our case there were 2, both in the front yard. The first one in the front was between the water shut off, the septic overflow, telephone poll and a neighbor’s bush. There were also sheets of tin and some nails around the marker, all fun stuff! The second marker in the front was between the other neighbor’s water meter box, paver patio and a metal fence. Plus, the marker was buried deeper, probably from the added layers of dirt for the patio. Took Dave and I awhile but we found all 4 markers. Dave hammered in yellow markers that are now visible. Now Anne Marie and Dave can get their fence done.

Anne Marie and Dave – Thanks for trusting me to help find your markers. Good luck with your fence.

Lost family heirloom ring found in Skippack, PA yard

  • from Reading (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Nikki Ciaccio was sitting on her deck talking to her dad when a very sentimental ring flew off her finger. Her dad immediately contacted me after finding my profile on The RingFinders. I returned his call and we made plans to search their yard the next day. The ring has been handed down to the ladies of the family since the early 1900’s, on their 16th birthdays. Nikki said she has worn the ring since receiving it from her mother, who just recently passed away.

They showed me the area where they thought the ring could have fallen from the deck. Nikki watched me search for awhile and then as she turned to go inside, I got a hit and found her ring. She ran back to me and gave me a big hug. I was so happy to return the ring to her and see her smiles. When needing professional metal detector service in Eastern, PA, call Tracy at 610-207-8677

Lost Subaru Key Fob… Recovered from Steep Slope in Oakland, CA

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)
Contact:

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

It’s not too often I get calls about lost keys or key fobs, let alone from a 10 year old, but on Monday May 6th that all changed.  The young boy requested that I come look for a set of keys that found their way off of a deck and onto a slope covered with ivy, blackberry, and other organic debris.  Of course I asked if the young boy would be assisting me and that I had an extra metal detector that I’d be glad to share.  Excitedly, we scheduled the search the following afternoon after school had gotten out.

It took 30 minutes or so to make my way to Oakland, CA were the key fob made it’s way into the wilds.  Upon arrival, I met the family including mom, dad, and several siblings.  They showed me to the scene of the mishap and explained that while swinging a rope the boy accidentally struck the keys sending them into the void below.  A search ensued but produced no results.  My first thoughts were that I asked a young 10 year old boy to assist me and now was looking at a very steep and hazardous looking slope entangled in ivy and blackberry vines.  But after producing my back-up machine to the boy and a garret pin-pointer to another sibling, there was no turning back.

The four of us, myself, the two boys, and dad (who was assisting by removing thorny blackberry vines from the slope) started a hasty search of the steep hillside.  The boys were excited every time the metal detectors sounded off and they quickly set out to discover what had made the machine scream out.  The hillside was riddled with targets like bottle caps, pull tabs, aluminum cans, and a large number of other interesting items. After about 20 minutes of looking, dad said that he may have saw something on the slope while pulling out vines and the two boys rushed to confirm the presence of the object.  First the young boy with the metal detector confirmed something metallic, then the sibling with the pin-pointer narrowed the search.  Moments later, with a bit of careful probing, WE MADE THE RECOVERY!

After a short celebration our little crew, and now mom and other siblings, collected on flatter ground for a little exploration and metal detecting.  For another 30 minutes or so we located and dug a plethora of targets, mostly do-dads and trash, but everyone was having a fun and educational experience.  Overall, the search for the wayward key fob and mini-hunt that followed was hugely successful.  Thank you kindly for allowing me to provide this service, I always love to get those willing and able involved into the search and having an interactive experience.

This was our target today!

A substitute picture of myself for the book of smiles!

Ring lost at Coronado found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Meredith was at Coronado Beach with her son. She took off her wedding and engagement rings to apply some lotion, set the rings in her lab, and forgetting they were there, stood up to shake some sand off her blanket. She didn’t notice where the rings landed, but, searched the best she could sifting sand through her fingers to no avail. An online search brought her to TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. I gathered my gear and headed there before she had to leave and before the chance someone else detecting might find them. After getting the story on how the rings ended up in the sand, I figured the most likely place to start was right in front of the blanket where she first stood up before she shook the blanket. Sure enough, 10 seconds later and the first signal was both her rings in one scoop. A pleasure to meet you and your son Meredith and thank you for the reward.

Argument Between Couple Sends Rings Flying into Backyard…Found by Ring Finder in Springfield, Virginia

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

Lisa’s platinum diamond engagement ring and platinum diamond wedding band recovered by The Ring Finder’s member, Brian Rudolph, after the couple’s terrible fight.

A very happy ring finder, Brian Rudolph displaying both diamond rings that were found in the back yard of the couple’s house after the husband threw his wife’s rings during a domestic argument.

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Moses called me with frustration and sadness in his voice. He and his wife Lisa ended up in a fight. Lisa took off her beautiful rings and slammed them down on the table. The two rings were Lisa’s platinum engagement ring (which consisted of multiple diamonds down both sides of the band and a halo of diamonds surrounding a 1 carat cushion shaped diamond in the center) and also Lisa’s platinum wedding band (which consisted of multiple diamonds decorated down the lovely ornate style band).

Moses was so angry when Lisa took her rings off while she declared that they were finished, that he grabbed the jewelry, opened up their sliding door and threw both rings out towards the back of their house.

When things cooled down, Moses bought a metal detector that he called « a Chinese detector » and searched for the two rings for hours in the back yard. Unfortunately, the distraught young man could not find his wife’s rings anywhere. That’s when Moses went online and discovered the elite international directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS. He found my contact profile and immediately reached out to me. I got all of the details of the story and we scheduled a time for me to come out to conduct the search for the two missing rings.

When I arrived at the property, Moses had already left for work and I introduced myself to Lisa. I made her feel comfortable and shared that this is a very common situation that us ring finders deal with on a regular basis regarding couples that get into fights and in the end the rings go flying.

I gathered up all of my gear, placed everything on a wagon and set up my search camp in the back yard. Moses did not know if the rings ended up in the neighbor’s yard behind his property. There was metal fencing which would end up being a problematic situation for me to metal detect along that area. So, I was hoping that the precious jewels came to rest someplace away from the border of my client’s property.

The first thing I did was lay down grid lines across the lawn, starting two thirds distance away from the house (approximately 50 feet from the back of the house). Just as I was walking to my first spot to begin detecting, my detector (which I was carrying with me, almost brushing the coil (the loop at the bottom of the shaft) softly across the grass as I moved into position on the hill slope) picked up a signal which I could hear in my headphones that I was wearing. Even though I was in the middle of the grid lane that I would eventually travel pass, I decided to stop, back up, and investigate the curious signal that my machine alerted me to.

I swung my coil a few times over the area where I heard the tone and to my greatest surprise…there it was…I found the first ring! It was Lisa’s gorgeous diamond engagement ring! I couldn’t believe it! I discovered one of the two rings completely by accident! What were the odds of that?! Earlier, I prayed to the Lord before beginning the search and my « Heavenly Hero » was already once again helping me to become, yet again, a ring hero for my clients! I was thrilled!

Within another minute or so, I found the wedding band not more than a few feet from where I found the other ring! The entire search was over within about 5 minutes! I could not have been happier and even more so for my two clients!

It was a special moment for me to safely return both sentimental rings to their proper owner. Lisa was most grateful and extremely impressed with how fast I was able to recover her treasures. I had to be completely honest with her in explaining that I had to give all glory and credit to God above for helping me stumble across the first diamond ring which quickly led me to find the second one!

Before leaving, Lisa allowed me to say a prayer for she and her husband. I then packed up my gear, headed back to my car, and drove away with a tremendous feeling of joy in my heart knowing how I was able to help bring that tumultuous and trial-filled chapter for that couple finally to an end.

Lost Family Heirloom Gold Ring…Found in Dog Poop in Mount Airy, Maryland

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

Chelsea’s 14 karat rose and white gold great grandmother’s family heirloom ring which Brian Rudolph recovered from dog poop.

Kayla holding up Chelsea’s 14 karat rose and white gold great grandmother’s family heirloom ring.

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Chelsea lost her great grandmother’s 14 karat rose and white gold family heirloom ring. She was devastated. She and her partner looked everywhere for it but couldn’t find it. Chelsea noticed it was no longer on her finger after bathing the dog in a child’s wading pool as well as throwing a ball to her favorite canine in the backyard. After searching for hours, Chelsea and Kayla had exhausted all efforts in finding the lost special ring.

At some point, Kayla tried to help Chelsea by going online to see if she could find a professional metal detectorist who might be able to come to the house and search around the property for the ring. That’s when she stumbled upon the elite international directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS. Shortly thereafter, I received a call from Chelsea and we scheduled a time for me to do a ring search for her.

When I arrived at the property, Kayla greeted me and showed me around the backyard. Chelsea could not be there due to her work commitments. I saw where the wading pool was laid and also where the balls were thrown. I immediately thereafter got to work.

I metal detected all around the grass where the wading pool had laid and where it was placed after the dog had been washed. Then, I scanned more of the property, but still, nothing turned up.

It was at that point that I asked Kayla to show me all of the places where Chelsea had been working and walking around. Also, I wanted to see any items that Chelsea had touched and or moved during the time of the disappearance of the ring. The kind young lady took me under the townhouse’s deck and pointed to a few things that Chelsea had been working with when she was cleaning the dog. I searched all around that area but the ring was nowhere to be found.

Finally, I asked if the dog’s poop was left in the yard or if the couple « bag up » the waste into plastic. Kayla said they bag up the poop and she showed me where the most recent bag was thrown away. Immediately, I grabbed the bag, brought it over to a patch of grass where no metal was in the ground below it and scanned over the bag with my metal detector. To my greatest surprise, a perfect signal in the gold range could be seen on my detector’s screen and heard in my headphones! I then took my handheld pinpointer and narrowed down the location as to where in the poop bag the object was hiding. Finally, with gloves on (of course), I opened the wrapped up plastic and placed my pinpointer in the direction of the mysterious item, moved my fingers through the smelly contents and there it was! I found it! I discovered the missing ring! I located beautiful but tainted object in the middle of the pile of fresh canine poop! I was ecstatic!

As soon as my eyes beheld this most marvelous discovery, I brought Kayla over and revealed to her my incredible findings! She was totally blown away! Chelsea was called at work and given the great news! My client’s exquisite rose and white gold family heirloom ring that was her great grandmother’s wedding band from nearly a hundred years ago had been saved from being thrown out in the trash and sent forever to the county’s local dump site! She was completely in awe of my successful endeavors and the two of them expressed their sincere gratitude for the work I achieved.

I will never forget that moment when I saw that beautiful two-tone gold ring with its most ornate carvings stuck in the middle of the wet and smelly poop! It was the best sight I had ever seen when detecting such a disgusting search location! What a story it was!

Soldered Rings Lost While Swimming…FOUND in Gilbertsville, Kentucky!

Contact:

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee…call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7…610-504-6135

On Wednesday (May 1st, 2024), I received a text message from Jillian stating she had lost her engagement ring and wedding band (soldered together) on Sunday in about 4 feet of water at Kentucky Dam Beach in Gilbertsville, Kentucky.  She had contacted another Ring Finder that lived closer, but she hadn’t heard back from him yet.  She asked for advice on what to do.  I told Jillian that if she hadn’t heard back from him by Friday, I would come out for a search.  Kentucky is further than I like to travel, but I have a hard time saying no to a ring search, lol.  That evening, I researched if metal detecting is allowed at the beach area.  It’s not, so I called the Kentucky Dam Lodge on Thursday morning to obtain special permission.  They granted me permission to metal detect for Jillian’s rings, but anything else I found would need to be turned in.  I said absolutely and told them that I would be there Friday morning.

I made the 3-hour and 20-minute drive from Huntsville, AL to Gilbertsville, KY early on Friday.  I stopped by the Kentucky Dam Lodge first to check in and make sure I was still good to detect.  Permission was granted, so I made my way to the beach to meet Jillian and her husband, Chris.

I put on my 3mm wet suit, grabbed my Minelab Equinox 900 and long-handled Xtreme Scoops sand scoop, and got in the water.  I had Jillian and Chris line me up with where Jillian had been standing.  She was playing with her daughter and was tossing her in the water.  On the last toss is when she felt her ring catch on to her daughter and slide off.

I started a grid search in that area.  The bottom was sandy when you first walked in, but quickly turned into small sized rocks/pebbles around the 4-foot area.  Over the course of an hour, I had one good sounding target in the ladies gold range, but could not get it in my scoop.  There were harder packed rocks in that area, making it difficult to get a good bite with my scoop.  I thought maybe it was a larger item beneath the surface, so I continued to check the area and expand my grid.  I easily dug a couple of pull tabs, but nothing else.

I kept going back to that one target.  Jillian really felt like it was in the area where she was standing during the loss.  I tried diving to retrieve the item, but I was too buoyant to stay on the bottom.  I had my diving weights in the truck, but Jillian offered to dive for the target.  I lined her up with where it was, and she dove with my pinpointer and flashlight.  I gently pushed her down, so she would not float back up.  Teamwork makes the dream work, lol!  She tried two times, but kept losing the spot.  On the third try I kept my coil over the target until she was there.  She instantly popped up and had the rings in her hand!!  Jillian was so excited and relieved to have her rings back!  I was slightly surprised, because I had so much trouble getting the item in my scoop.  Nonetheless, this elusive target was what we were after, and Jillian got to make the exciting recovery!

We both got out of the water and dried off before taking pictures.  I chatted with Jillian and Chris for a few minutes before I headed over to the Lodge to give them the good news and thank them again for the special permission.  Today (May 5th, 2024) is Jillian and Chris’s 8-year wedding anniversary!  It makes me so happy that Jillian has her rings back to celebrate their special day.  As always, I give all glory and praise to God for the recovery and safe travels.  Until the next adventure… please take care and God bless!

Lost SD card full of wedding photos….Found in Spokane WA!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

All the time spent preparing and planning for a wedding shoot Katie never planned for the worst outcome ever, a lost SD card full of that days photos. With the whole wedding party walking up and down West Riverside ave, Katie was taking photos. During one of the photo shoots a bridesmaid asked Katie to hold her phone. With Katie’s fanny pack open, the phone slipped into the front pocket. After the photo shoot was over, Katie and the wedding group walked back to the event center. The bridesmaid who asked Katie to hold her phone, asked for her phone back. Little did Katie know, the act of pulling out the phone would chuck her number 21 SD card on to the ground. After arriving back to the event center she went to retrieve her sd out of her fanny pack. The card wasn’t there. With the sinking feeling setting in, Katie went back to the photo shoot area to look for her SD card. The bridesmaids came with Katie to help with the search. Having no good luck locating the card, Katie called her husband Zack to enlist his help. Zack quickly found the Ring Finders through a Reddit post and called me. We talked and texted for a bit, then Katie called. After going over the finite details I knew I needed to get to Riverside ave. fast. I knew I needed to bring my Eye detector 1000 and with prayers and God on my side I began my search. The street was full of people and cars. I had my bright flashlight and searched every parking spot and sidewalk. Making my way to the front of the church I saw a small black rectangle in between a car tire and the curb. Picking up the card and looking at the front, I could see a hand written number on it like the example Katie sent to me. I sent a text and picture to Katie. After driving to the event center I saw Katie standing outside waiting for me. I was able to give her card back to her and get a photo of her smile. The wedding photos will have to be recovered by the manufacturer because the card didn’t work, it had been run over. However, Katie was confident not all was lost. The little things in our lives sometimes hold the most treasured of items, and the photos of your wedding day are memories that will last forever. I’m so glad I got to be a part of that lost and found story. Thank you Katie and Zack for having faith in me.
