Ring Found In Snowy Vermont

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

1/12/25

I got a message last night from a woman visiting Vermont who had lost her engagement ring. She had been skiing at Stowe, but was pretty sure she lost it at the rental house in a nearby town. Luckily, she had a picture of her just before they left the ski area showing that her ring was still on her finger. The rental house had a nice sledding hill in the backyard, so she took a sled down the slope with no gloves on. She was pretty sure that’s when the ring had come off. Just in case, they did a thorough search of the house before contacting me.

I got there early because they had to leave by 11:00. We got started and within about 3 minutes I got the perfect ring signal. I pushed some of the snow to the side with my boot and pushed the pinpointer into the snow, got a signal with that and there it was! We were all smiling about that!!!

Mercedes Key Fob lost sled riding in Philadelphia, PA…found and returned!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Andrew contacted me after a long unsuccessful search for his Mercedes key FOB that fell out of his pocket while sled riding with his kids in his backyard in Narberth, PA. We had about 4 inches of snow and it was obvious to both of us it was probably covered…so wait till spring or I could give it a shot with my  metal detector? He asked me to come over the next day and I was happy to do so. We walked the yard….he showed me where he was sledding….10 minutes into the search there they were! I was happy to help him avoid paying an exorbitant amount of $ for a replacement key FOB.

Meghan contacted me on December 22 regarding her lost ring. She had been on a volley ball court at the beach when it became lost, and because she was getting ready to travel, she was unable to meet me for the search. I let her know I would be able to help, but would need as much information as possible in order to find the ring. She agreed, and began to provide what I needed.

When I got to the beach, I found what I believed was the court to search, and began. I went over much of the court, and then decided to call Meghan to make sure I had everything correct. When we spoke I found that I had been searching the court next to the one she had been on, so I switched, and withing 5 minutes, I was able to let her know the ring was safe. She told me that she would be coming back after January 4th, so we met on the 8th for the return, This ring, made from a silver French Frank was to be her future wedding ring, so it had a great sentimental value for her. I was happy to help.

Lost Ring in the Overland Park Snow

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

Check out the YouTube video here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9epYUkycuk4

After a recent arctic blast, Ted cleaned the snow off a car in his driveway, then departed in his own car parked on the street.  Shortly after, he realized his wedding band was missing.  He contacted me and we braved the 15 degree temps looking for his ring.  No luck in the driveway but wouldn’t you know, right on the snow packed street, I swung over a strong signal.  He was fortunate the snowplow didn’t move it.  I am fortunate to have another happy (but cold) customer!

Phil was playing with his two year old daughter in the backyard of their home in Palm Harbor and in the process of running around with her, his wedding ring flew off of his finger into the thick St. Augustine grass. Phil, who admitted to me later that the ring was loose on his finger, believed the he knew the area where the ring landed in their small back yard so he immediately began a visual search. After he was unable to find his ring, Phil purchased an inexpensive metal detector and searched for his ring but again, was unable to find it. Unfortunately, most people who purchase their own metal detector to find their lost items are unsuccessful because they have never used one previously so they lack the necessary experience.

Phil’s wife Chrissy found me on social media (I share all my recoveries with neighborhood pages) and we arranged a time for me to come to their home to search for the ring. Phil met me when I arrived and directed me to the area where he felt like the ring had fallen. After about a 30 minute search and a few buried targets identified, I was unable to locate the ring so I expanded my search into the opposite direction, sweeping the grass with my detector coil between the vinyl fence and the pool area. After a few minutes more and very close to the pool deck I received a strong and promising surface tone and before I could reach down to probe into the grass with my handheld pinpointer, I saw the ring nestled in the grass! Phil had walked away for just a moment so I called him back over to show him the ring before I picked it up. Needless to say we were both very happy with the discovery!

Phil and Chrissy,  thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find Phil’s wedding ring!

When Yvonne contacted me it was Christmas Day. She had lost her heirloom ring in the yard, and had been unable to locate it. I let her know that I would be available the next day to do a search for her, so we set up a time for me to come out to her house for the search.

I arrived at the appointed time, and met Yvonne who then took me out to the back of her house to show me the area of the loss. There were a lot of leaves all over the area where she had been pulling weeds, which would make it easy to lose a ring. She also took the weeds and threw them into the horse corral which had a fluffy clay like dirt base. I began looking in the leaves first, and went over them very carefully. There was a lot of other metal there, so I had to work slowly to ensure I did not miss anything, but did not find the ring. I then went into the corral, and searched the area she had thrown the weeds into, and also found nothing. I then switched coils to be able to get tighter into the fencing, and other metal structures in the leafy area, but nothing again. I went back into the corral, searched the area she threw the weeds into, finding nothing, then began to work outside the box. As I worked grid lines further and further out I finally got a signal, looked down, and there on the surface was the ring. It was covered in the clay powder, and very difficult to see. I called Yvonne over, and showed her the ring where I had found it. She told me that she would never had looked in that area, and thought the horse must have been rolling in the dirt, and moved the ring. The ring had been her mother’s, and the thought of losing it was hard to accept. I was so glad to be able to help her retain a memory of her mother.

Lost Yellow Gold Wedding Band at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a call from Josh who is on his Honeymoon from Portsmouth, England and staying at the Aulani Resort with his lovely wife Jaz.  On Sunday, while seated in the cool shallow waters of the lagoon, Josh felt his Yellow Gold Wedding Band slip off and disappear into the sand.  They hunted for the ring but with the surf up in the lagoon it was impossible to see.  While talking to the resort personnel they were told about my recovery service.  I told Josh I would head over as soon as I finished work.  When I arrived Josh & Jaz met me on the beach and showed me the area to hunt.  I found a few coins, a pull tab and an earring.  About a third of the way through the grid I got a nice tone near shore and after two scoops there was Josh’s shiny new Gold Wedding Ring in the scoop.  I let Josh & Jaz reach into the scoop to ensure the ring I found was his and of course it was.  Honeymoon saved and much deserved relief after four days.  Aloha to Josh & Jaz!

 

Lost keys in Salt Lake City: Found

Alan was driving with his five pet dogs from his home in California to visit family in Massachusetts. If you have five dogs, you drive rather than fly. They stopped for a break in a Salt Lake City park to let the dogs have a break and chase a ball. When they got back to the pickup truck, Alan realized his truck key was missing. He had dropped it in the six-inches of snow in the park. In order to continue his trip, he would have to find the key or get a new one made. After several hours of searching, the sun went down, and he realized he needed help. He found The Ring Finders, and we talked on the phone. My schedule was free, so I met him at the park an hour after we first talked. A half foot of snow doesn’t bother a good metal detector. I followed him through the park as he retraced his steps, then I started a grid search, detecting in the area he had thrown the ball for the dogs. After an hour, I heard the beep from my detector that I was hoping for. The key was half-buried in the snow. He was able to start his truck and continue the trip to the east coast.

Lost Platinum Wedding Band at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Amy who was on vacation from Murrieta, California and staying at the Marriott in Ko Olina.  She said her husband Ryan was swimming in the lagoon and while making an adjustment on a floatie his Platinum Wedding Band fell off and disappeared in the sandy bottom of the lagoon water the day before.  The water was only about waist deep but impossible to see.  Ryan assumed it was lost forever!  I called and told Amy I could be there that afternoon around 1:30.  She said they would be on the beach.  When I arrived Amy showed me the area to search and I fired up the Manticore for my grid search.  I started a little to the North and worked South.  When I was nearing the center of the grid going up onto the wet sand I got a nice loud tone and after one scoop there was Ryan’s Band in the scoop.  The rough waves actually threw the ring up onto the shoreline.  I motioned towards Amy and she was in disbelief I think that the ring was found so quickly.  Also, Ryan was just making his way down to the beach and Amy was able to put the ring back on his finger.  What a wonderful family and I was thankful to be able to save the vacation.  Aloha to Ryan, Amy & Family!

Lost Rings and Diamond Necklace found in Santa Barbara Home

How to Find a Lost Ring in Santa Barbara – Expert Help from Dave The Ring Finder
Lost a ring in Santa Barbara? Don’t panic—call or text Dave The Ring Finder at 805-290-5009 for fast, professional help. Whether it’s a ring lost on the beach or misplaced at home, I’m here to recover your precious jewelry as a proud member of The Ring Finders network!
Recently, I received a text from a Santa Barbara resident who preferred to stay anonymous. She’d lost something irreplaceable: a small decorative box containing three rings and a diamond necklace. The missing items included her husband’s gold band, her white gold wedding ring, a jade ring—a sentimental gift from years ago—and a necklace with the diamond from her engagement ring. This wasn’t just jewelry; it was a treasure chest of her life’s memories, kept in her living room for years until it vanished.
She was devastated and convinced she’d searched everywhere. While my metal detecting gear excels outdoors, indoor searches pose challenges due to household metal and EMF interference. Still, I offered my expertise as an experienced searcher to tackle this mystery. We met at her Santa Barbara home, and I suggested we sit at her kitchen table—a calm spot to think clearly. Together, we listed every possible location for the box, planning to search each spot thoroughly and cross it off once cleared. This methodical approach helps clients stay focused when stress clouds their judgment.
One spot on the list was a large bookshelf in her living room. At first glance, it seemed unlikely, but we noticed the shelves were deep and shadowy. A closer look was worth it—and there, tucked in the back atop a row of books, was the small wooden box, blending perfectly with its surroundings. Inside were her rings and necklace, safe and sound! The relief and joy in that moment were palpable as she reclaimed her cherished pieces.
Finding a lost ring in Santa Barbara—or anywhere—often feels like detective work. It takes patience, a clear plan, and sometimes a fresh perspective. That’s where I come in. If you’re wondering how to find a lost ring in Santa Barbara, whether it’s buried in sand or hidden at home, call or text Dave The Ring Finder at 805-290-5009. Let’s create a plan to recover your lost jewelry today!
