Mr John had recently lost some weight and his platinum wedding ring was needing some resizing…so off to the jeweler they went. When they got home, Mr John thought he had enough time to mow one half of the front yard so he uncovered his riding mower and started cutting. There are a couple of areas where the tree branches hang down really close to the ground and as he mowed he had to push the branches aside. An hour later, while getting a drink, he noticed his wedding ring was not on his finger and the most obvious thing he could think of was that it must have come off while he was mowing! For two days he and his wife would walk through the yard with flashlights at night or during high noon when the sun was directly overhead with hopes of spotting his lost ring. For 46 years John and his wife have been married and the thought of never seeing his ring again was very troubling. Thinking there had to be some kind of service that involved a metal detector, he went online and found theringfinders.com and one of my stories. I agreed to come out and look at John’s yard and realized right away that this would be no easy task…because John’s yard was VERY LARGE! As I listened to John explain his routine when mowing I saw the low hanging branches and figured I would check those areas first off and BINGO! On the 2nd area I heard the sweet sound of gold and saw the glint of shiny Platinum! As John bent down to retrieve his once lost and now found wedding ring…I noticed a few tears welling up in his eyes and I could not help but feel a twinge of the same emotions in my own heart! John was so happy and the relief was obvious!

Lost Ear Ring in yard during Party

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a young man in a panic.  He lost his « Diamond » Ear Ring in the front yard of his Aunt’s house at a Halloween Party.  They were taking photos of the really cool Grave Site display in the front yard.  He lifted his girlfriend on to his shoulders and they took some fun photos, then he sat her back down and they walked across the yard and he realized the Diamond Ear Ring was gone.  Their pictures showed he had it on when his girlfriend was on his shoulders,  but in a 2nd picture across the yard the Ear Ring was gone.  He said everyone ate the party was on their hands and knees trying to find it for over an hour.  He and his girlfriend had tried using 3 different metal detectors but with no luck.

So in a last ditch effort before the yard guys came out he turned to the Internet to see if anyone did this kind of searching and immediately the Dallas Ring Finders popped up.  We arrived the next afternoon.  Fortunately he had a matching Ear Ring we were able to get a signal to match too.  After searching the yard with our Garrett AT Pro’s running on their highest sensitivity we had no luck.   So we had to get out our secret weapon our « Garret Super Sniper Coil » that is designed for very tiny objects.  After getting a matching reading on the 2nd Ear Ring we were about to give up searching, I decided to check the prime target area one more time and I got a matching signal.  Using our Garrett Pinpointer I worked it into the very thick grass and I saw the glint and I knew I had it.  And the rest is happy history…..

Lost Wedding Ring in Lee’s Summit

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

Kayle realized she lost her ring on Sunday.  Trying to recreate all her actions since the last time she knew she had it on, she felt the most likely culprit was the backyard football game.  She enlisted friends and family to help look through the leaves and grass.  She even rented\purchased metal detectors to no avail.  On Friday she contacted me and within a couple of hours we were in the « football field » in question.  We did our best to re-enact the events, figured out most likely areas and then grid the boundaries of the search area.  10 minutes of swinging and we hit that unmistakable staccato tone of a surface target!  Another very happy customer!

Lost Oura eRing at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began during the Summer, when a gentleman named Mike, who was on vacation from Alberta, Canada and staying at the Aulani Resort approached me on the beach and asked if I could hunt for his Size 15 Oura eRing.  I proceeded to hunt the areas he thought it might be lost but I was unsuccessful during that hunt.  Fast forward to October after the Aulani Resort performed a beach sand restoration project I was walking in shallow water when I got an unusual tone on the Manticore.  After one scoop there was a huge Man’s Oura eRing in the scoop.  I remembered Mike and texted him in Canada if this was the one he had been looking for?  His response, « OMG!  Yes it is. »  We arranged for a return via the Postal Service and Mike sent me this picture today from his home in Canada.  BRRR!  It looks cold there but still got a Shaka.  Never give up the hunt.  Aloha to Mike!

Lost wedding ring in Roxborough found and returned!

“I found you” 🥹
I woke up to a phone call from Jaime after working my night shift today. He explained he was practicng football drills in a park with his 15 year old son yesterday and realized he had lost his rose gold wedding ring. He was recenlty married and was worried his wife was going to be really upset so He bought a metal detector from Amazon for around $100. He didn’t really know what he was doing with it though and asked if I could help him. When I got there he had cones already set up where they were running the drills and he said he was 99% sure he lost it in that area. He stayed to help me for a little bit and I can tell he was getting the hang of the detector. He asked me what sensitivity I was using. 😆 so he must’ve of googled some info. After almost 2 hours I found the ring…not where he thought he lost it. Probably about another 8-10’ away off the grid.
I am finding that when they say 99% sure it really means only about 20-25% are right about that.
He has the sweetest inscription I think I’ve seen yet “I found you” ❤️

Jet turbine RC heli recovered Waverly Nebraska

John came across one of my ring finder posts. He saw that I did dive detecting recoveries and wanted to see if I would try and find this turbine heli that went down and he thought it possibly went in a pond as they had searched around it with no results. He even did some detecting in the water but he knew a tight grid was key and I have developed a proven technique. I used to fly giant scale rc so I understand how the depth perception can be very hard to impossible when something goes down. Well before I hit the water I expanded their original search area as walking is easier than diving in pitch black. Well unfortunately I came across it 1 day after the combine did. I was able to detect the area and recover all the parts though. The mystery has been solved after 4 months.

Wedding Ring Found On Thousand Oaks Golf Course

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:
Melody called me and stated her husband Richard lost his wedding ring while walking near the golf course. They have been married for 51 years and he is in the doghouse now for losing his ring. I called my friend Duke and we arrived meeting Richard at the front door. He explained that he was hunting for golf balls in the woods behind his house near the driving range when his ring came up missing. We followed him to the area and there were dozens of golf balls thrown back onto the fairway that he had found in the wooded area. We started searching the woods and then Duke had Richard show him how he was throwing the balls he was finding. On a hunch Duke walked out onto the fairway about 10ft from the woods and there was Richard’s ring laying in plain sight in the short grass-the ring had went flying along with one of the golf balls. Duke gave me the high sign and I walked out there and spotted the ring right away. Duke called Richard over, hiding the ring with his foot, and then showed him the prize. These are the moments we never forget!

Lost wedding ring in Denver found and returned!

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

This gentleman lost his wedding band in a busy Denver park while playing with his dog. It was loose already and he was meaning to get it sized, unfortunately not before the day he lost it. After gridding the areas of possibilities with pin flags I went to work. After almost 2 hours and about half way through the grid, I got a perfect signal 73 on the Deus. I looked down and there it was camouflaged in dead grass. Exposed for anyone that would be looking for it. Need less to say he has made arrangements to make sure it fits properly.
