Found Graduation Ring

  • from Baton Rouge (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by Khamren Friday afternoon, 26 September 2025 regarding his graduation ring that was lost some two weeks prior. I agreed to meet him at the location of the lost ring the following day at 2:00 PM.  Khamren explained he and his girlfriend were walking along the sidewalk and he was swinging his arm when his ring flew off his hand into a row of ground cover vines. He searched the area, but could not locate the ring. His girlfriend trimmed the area with some clippers and continued the search, but still to no avail.  Khamren also rented a Garrett Ace 400 detector and after searching the area was only able to find a metal spoon and a chime from a small wind chime that had fallen to the ground.

I arrived at the location of the lost ring at the agreed time.  Khamren met me at the site and pointed out the general location where he thought the ring might be. He told me he had to leave for work and if the ring was found, to let him know and to give the  ring to his girlfriend who was inside.

I set up my search areas and methodically searched each area.  I got a hit in my third search area. Based on the readings from my detector, I didn’t think it would be the ring, but because there was a strong signal near the surface, I decided to try.  It took awhile to sort through the roots and thatch and using my soft probe rather than shovel (to avoid damage to the ring) I was able to locate the target.  The target turned out to be a galvanized roofing tack.  The search continued.

I moved to the next search area, and got another strong surface hit.  This time with numbers more to my liking. Using my hands to work my way through the roots, I saw something shining through the roots.  I was able to isolate the object and at 2:45 PM, the ring was recovered.

I took a pic of the ring and sent it Khamren who excitedly texted back with a big « Thank Y0u! »  I then knocked on the door and presented his girlfriend with the ring who returned the gesture with a big smile and another « Thank You ».

It made my day!

Franklinville NJ Wedding Band Found by John Favano Ring Finders South Jersey

Lost a ring?

215-850-0188

Nothing puts a damper on a fun weekend like losing something valuable—especially something that can’t be replaced.

John had been camping with family and friends on a quiet farm in Franklinville, NJ. It was the kind of weekend you remember—good food, great people, and time away from the noise. But at some point during the night, while playing around, John’s gold wedding band flew from his finger and disappeared into the grass.

He searched the area with help from his friends, but no luck. Later that night, around 4 a.m., I got a text about the lost ring. We spoke early the next morning, and I agreed to meet him at the site.

Using my metal detector, I mapped out a grid to begin the search. At first, nothing. Just scrap metal and typical ground junk. After about 25 minutes of expanding the grid and scanning deeper into the surrounding area—finally, the signal I was hoping for.

I dug carefully, and out came a beautiful gold ring.

John was thrilled—and deeply emotional. This ring wasn’t just a wedding band. It had once belonged to his father, who had recently passed. Getting it back meant the world to him.

Helping someone recover a part of their history and heart—that’s why I love doing this.

Ring dropped in back yard, Found!!!

  • from Johnson City (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from a client that dropped his wife’s ring in the back yard. He searched but could not find it. After buying a metal detector and trying to hunt for it he called and asked if I could come and find it. He said the metal detector beeps at everything and he didn’t know how to use it. I drove up and after searching for about five minutes I hit on the ring. Glad to help this gentleman out and get his wife’s ring back.

How to find a lost ring in yard debris, Princeton NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

I noticed a post on one of the lost jewelry pages about a missing wedding ring, lost somewhere in the backyard within a pile of yard debris. Someone had tagged me on the post, and later, Cheryl gave me a call. She explained that her husband, John, had been doing yard work, moving logs, branches, and leaves  when he realized later that day his wedding ring was missing.

John was 99% sure the ring was in the yard and had a pretty good idea of where it might be. He believed he had felt it pull off his hand when he threw some debris. I asked Cheryl to send me a short video to make sure Id be able to swing my metal detector in the dense thicket where the ring might have landed. From the video, everything looked manageable, so we arranged to meet the following morning.

When I arrived, John and Cheryl came outside to greet me. I grabbed my equipment, and we walked out to the backyard. I had John recount exactly what happened a few times to make sure I had all the details. His story on the phone matched what he told me in the backyard, which gave me confidence that the ring was out there.

I got to work right away. After quickly scanning some larger areas and checking along the back fence, I only picked up a few signals, none consistent with a platinum ring. But then, I spotted a large pile of leaves and small sticks about three feet from the back fence. It looked promising, especially since John had mentioned pulling debris with his bare hands in that spot.

I scanned over the pile and picked up a strong, steady signal. It could have been the ring, though there was a chance it was just a pull tab. I cleared an area where the signal was strongest, digging down about two feet. Sure enough, at the very bottom of the pile, I found John’s ring.

Meanwhile, John and Cheryl were chatting by the pool about yard work. I cleaned the ring off a bit, stood up, and held it high to show them. Cheryls eyes widened, and she immediately said, I can’t believe you found it already! Where was it?

They both hurried over, and I showed them the cleared area in the middle of the leaf pile. They were absolutely stunned at how quickly I had found the ring.

I explained that preparation and listening carefully to the customer are key to a successful search. Narrowing down the possible locations allows me to focus on the most likely spots first, which saves a lot of time and effort.

Finding lost items isn’t just about luck it’s about methodical searching and trusting the process.

Timely Metal-Detecting Recovery of 2-Week-Old Wedding Ring, Bristol Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

27 September 2025.  Ryan’s bright new wedding ring disappeared into the Bristol Beach sand on this warm sunny day.  Ryan was manipulating a beach chair when his hand was pinched, and his natural reaction was to violently shake his left hand.  Unfortunately that propelled his ring off his finger and sent it flying somewhere into the soft sand.

Not knowing where the ring might have ended up, it would have been fruitless to try randomly sifting through the sand, so Ryan’s bride Alyssa searched online for help.  She found my RingFinder detecting service on the Fabulous Falmouth Facebook page and Ryan gave me a call.  I was happy to take a break from yard work and I arrived at the beach in about 20 minutes to do a search.

It didn’t take long.  I asked them to move their beach chairs and other gear away from the search area so I wouldn’t be hindered by stray metal signals, and within a short time I picked up that sweet signal I was looking for and had Ryan’s ring in my scoop.  It was close to where a chair had been and had not gone far when it flew off Ryan’s hand.  Fortunate!

Congratulations to Ryan and Alyssa on their marriage.  I’m happy to know that I was able to help them start off on a positive note.  It’s a good omen for the future!

Ryan’s shiny new wedding ring.

 

Happy newlyweds!

Lost ring a month ago found and returned! Littleton, Colorado

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Alex lost her late uncles ring a MONTH ago and nearly gave up. A walk with her sister and several dogs in the park is where she lost it. She had gone back several times to find it herself, hung signs with no answers. This morning after work I met her and she showed me the path she took and the stop to pick up dog poop. I found it just under the mud. It must’ve been pushed down with the rain and foot traffic. She hugged me several times and said I was an “angel” 😇
