Lost Wedding Rings Found In Decatur Indiana

  • from Huntington (Indiana, United States)

On Christmas day at around 5pm I received a call from gentleman named Andrew who informed me about his wife losing both her wedding band and engagement ring.  She went to feed their livestock some hay and her rings came off as she was shaking the hay around the stall.  That’s where I come in…We met up the following day and got to work on finding those lost rings.  The first ring to surface from the hay was the wedding band I believe and then after some time the engagement ring was found.  I’m always happy to see the smiles on  the faces when they see that ring again.  I’m sure this Christmas will be remembered for a long time to come.

Thank you Andrew and Brook….and I can’t forget Josh, Andrew’s friend who helped us out during the search.

How I helped Joe find his lost keys in Laurel Springs NJ

Last night around 9:30, I received a text message from Joe, who had been referred to me by my nephew, Jason. Joe wanted to know if I could help find his lost keys. He’d spent the entire day clearing a lot and splitting wood, only to discover he couldn’t locate his keys when it was time to leave. Luckily, he had a spare set delivered, so there was no rush. We agreed to meet the next morning around 10.

I arrived early, greeted by a steady drizzle. Prepared with my rain gear, I suited up and headed to the area where the wood was piled. Hoping to spot the key fob in the daylight, I carefully walked around the piles, but no luck. Realizing I’d need my detector, I went back to my SUV to grab it.

I began searching an area where the tall grass was matted down, marked by splinters of wood from splitting. Just two minutes in, my detector gave a strong tone. I moved some grass and leaves aside—and there they were: Joe’s keys. He hadn’t arrived yet, so he missed the quick find.

I returned to my SUV and waited for him to show up. When Joe arrived, he took me to the spot where he’d spent most of his day. We were just three feet from where I’d found the keys. As he described his activities and scanned the ground, I pulled the keys from my pocket and asked, “Do your keys look like this?”

At first, he looked puzzled, then recognition dawned. “Yes!” he said, clearly amazed. The moment he realized they were his keys was priceless—a mix of shock and relief.

It had only taken about five minutes of walking and searching to locate the keys. Without a detector, though, Joe never would’ve found them. They were pressed into the mud and hidden beneath leaves.

As a bonus, I now have access to some firewood for my fire pit—a small token of appreciation.

Lost and Found: A Wedding Band’s Journey Beneath the Waters of Georgian Bay, Honey Harbour, Ontario

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)

In the shimmering expanse of Georgian Bay, just beyond the picturesque shores of Honey Harbour, Ontario, a unique challenge unfolded. A distraught couple Julie and Richard reached out, their wedding band—a symbol of their eternal bond was lost beneath the waters near Bone Island. As an experienced underwater metal Detectorist, I took on the task, armed with my Dive BLU3 Nomad battery operated air supply system and my trusted Minelab Excalibur II, a state-of-the-art underwater metal detector designed for depths and adverse conditions. The stakes were high: retrieving this irreplaceable memento required precision, patience, and skill.

Descending into the murky depths, the visibility was immediately disorienting—zero clarity at 20 feet below the surface meant relying entirely on touch, sound, and technique. Employing a custom circular gridding method, I navigated the silt-covered lakebed systematically, creating overlapping arcs to ensure no area was overlooked. The Minelab Excalibur II emitted faint, telltale signals, its advanced frequency design cutting through the ambient noise of the aquatic environment. Each pass brought a renewed sense of hope, though the conditions remained arduous.

Time seemed suspended underwater, every vibration through the detector a potential breakthrough. After what felt like an eternity, the detector’s tone sharpened—a clear indication of metal beneath layers of sediment. Carefully brushing away the debris, my hand emerged with the glint of gold: the missing wedding band, a circle unbroken even amidst the challenges of the deep.

Surfacing with the ring in hand, I was met with the joyous relief of the waiting couple alongside other boaters in their party. The journey had been arduous, yet it underscored the power of dedication and technology in service of human connection. Georgian Bay had relinquished its treasure, and the couple’s bond was symbolically restored, proving that even in the depths of uncertainty, persistence can illuminate the way.

Surfacing with the ring in hand was a moment of triumph, but it was made even more meaningful by Julie and Richard’s heartfelt gratitude. I want to sincerely thank them for trusting me with the important task of recovering their lost wedding band, a symbol of their enduring love. Their faith in my skills and techniques was deeply humbling, and their generous gift was a kindness that I will always remember. It was an honor to play a part in reuniting them with something so special, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been part of their story.

How to find a lost ring in the snow – Manhasset, NY

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)

Snowball Fight, Expensive Ring Lost… and Found!

Christmas snowball fights are all fun and games—until someone loses a Cartier Panthère ring in the backyard! That’s exactly what happened to Chloe while she was tossing snowballs with (and at!) her cousin on Christmas Day.

Chloe and her dad, Jack, spent three days braving the cold, searching high and low in the snow for her stunning 18K yellow gold ring, but it was nowhere to be found. That’s when Jack decided to call in some reinforcements—me!

On December 27, I arrived, ready to turn their snowy backyard into a treasure map. With a little patience and the help of my trusty metal detector, we struck gold (literally) in just 30 minutes!

The moment we found it, the joy and relief on their faces said it all. Chloe got her beautiful Cartier Panthère ring back, and the snowball fight story gained a happy ending everyone will remember for years to come.

Moral of the story? Snowball fights are better without losing jewelry, but if you do, The Ring Finders are here to help!

Lost a ring?

Don’t wait to call!

215-850-0188

The day after Christmas, I received a call that would turn into one of those moments that remind you why you do what you do. Guy had lost his gold ring – not just any ring, but one he’d worn faithfully for half a century. The story of its disappearance was painfully simple: while tending to his Christmas Day fire pit, the cold had caused the ring to slip from his pinky finger, where he’d placed it because his usual finger was swollen.

The backyard had become an accidental treasure map. Somewhere between the fire pit and the scattered woodpiles, beneath a blanket of winter leaves, lay fifty years of memories in a ring of gold and coral.

I started methodically, sweeping my metal detector along the path Guy had taken to the first woodpile. Nothing. But treasure hunting is often about patience and persistence. Moving to the second pile of firewood, my detector sang out with that sweet, promising tone that makes every searcher’s heart skip a beat.

There it was, nestled among the logs – a gleaming circle of gold that had witnessed five decades of Guy’s life. The smile that spread across his face when I held it up was awesome to see!

Guy left a review:

« Like, not even 15min and John found my ring. We just traced my afternoon steps and located the ring under a pile of wood and oak leaves. Probably never would’ve have found it on my own. John is professional and a gentleman. »

Gold & Multi Diamond Ring Lost at Christmas, Found in West Kelowna

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Danielle was visiting her Parents in West Kelowna over the Christmas Period. Two days before Christmas, before she entered her parents house she shook her hands to get the rain off, as she did she she felt her 14k multi diamond ring come of by a tree. They all spent three days searching for it, to no avail. Dec 26th she found my services on Google, and gave me a call. I had time before dinner so I responded right away, Danielle found me on Google, however it took 45 minutes to find their location as Google was out of date. Danielle showed me the location by the tree, not sure if it bounced off the tree or not. It did bounce off and landed in the long grass around the tree, which made it an easy search for a Metal Detector. Her Happy Christmas was restored.

Lost White Gold Wedding Band at Fort Kamehameha Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Amanda who lives on Hickam AFB with her family.  Amanda found me on the Ring Finders!  So, earlier this morning as she applied sun tan lotion she removed her white gold wedding band and placed it on a beach chair for safe keeping.  At some point it went missing from there and when I arrived I could see finger raking marks in the sand where they had searched.  A few people on the beach were somewhat in the area and they kindly moved their gear so I could hunt without interference.  After firing up the Manticore I detected a steel pipe running all the way through the search area so I was happy when the first target a piece of aluminum came through strongly.  I started on the high side and worked low.  A few more junk targets and then I got a nice shallow #15 on the VDI and I told Amanda, « this sounds real good. »  Sure enough their was the white gold wedding band in the scoop.  Early Christmas present!  Aloha to Amanda!

LOST 14k WHITE GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN HICKORY, NC…… FOUND!!!!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)

Received a text last night from a young man whose mom had lost her wedding rings while picking up leaves and tossing them over the fence. The son had found the wedding band by sifting through the leaves, but was unable to locate the engagement ring.

They had been on her finger for nearly 51 years!

I showed up at 8:00 am and the search began. After an hour we hadn’t found it yet, so we went inside to talk to his mom and get a better idea of where she was and what she had been doing prior to losing it. Turns out we were in the only area where she was tossing leaves. I suggested we go back and try again. After about another 30 mins, I decided to kick over the sifted leaves to move them more out of the way, away from the fence and I got a hit! The ring was under 2-3 feet of sifted leaves and I missed it the first 8 times because I didn’t move the leaves. It was found 3 feet from the wedding band near the fence line!

Needless to say it was a very Merry Christmas for the whole family as they both were back where they belong!

Gold and Diamond Ring Lost at Coopers Beach – Found

  • from Paihia (New Zealand)

Jess and family were up in Doubtless Bay yesterday, and went for a swim at Little Cable Bay.
As her husband waded into the water, he got caught by a wave and his brand new gold and diamond wedding ring was swept from his finger.
Jess’ mum posted on the local Facebook group pleading for help, and I threw the kit into the car and started the 70km journey north.
Low tide was approaching so I focused first on the waters edge, before switching to the submersible kit to clear out a bit wider before that area was lost to the incoming tide.

Another metal detectorist turned up to search a little later on, and I was grateful he didn’t interfere too much with my search pattern.
Unsure of his intentions (a lot of detectorists are what I refer to as ‘ring collectors’), I was keeping half an eye on him which was a distraction.
He didn’t last long though and headed away again after about an hour, this is where my success rate comes from – I don’t give up.

As the sun set, the family had to head away to put their young child to bed, so we shook hands and I carried on.
Night fell as the search continued, eventually overlapping the other detectorists grid, when I got a signal that could only be it – located under the other guys footprint in the sand!
The scoop went in, and about 4″ down I saw the edge of a ring in the sand
Lifting it out it was definitely the one. Job done.
As it was late, I wasn’t able to catch up with them that night, so  this morning, I met up with them for the handover as they headed south for home.

Their Christmas is now much brighter than it had been 12Hrs ago.
