Beautiful Gold Diamond Ring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Elverson, PA!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lori got in touch with me after losing her beautiful gold and diamond engagement ring. After failing to find her ring with a rented metal detector she decided to seek out an expert and consulted the Ring Finder directory. I met her at her home in Elverson, PA the next day and she told me she had been running out the front door of her home with an armload of stuff when she grabbed her rings off the kitchen counter. Because her hands were full she just put them on the tips of her fingers figuring she would secure them on her fingers when she got in her car. Well…by the time she got to car she saw she only had her band..assuming the other one fell off in the grass between the front door of her house and car. Her car was parked on grass following some driveway repairs. By the time I got there I could sense her panic and anxiety about the loss. She walked me through what happened and showed me the area where she thinks it must have fallen off. It was not a large grassy area…I told her if it was there I will absolutely find it! I could tell she was trying to be positive but stressed. She showed me where the car was parked in grass and I thought most likely the ring would have dropped when she was opening and getting in the driver’s seat. Turned my machine on and started scanning the deep grass…within 2 minutes i got a strong gold surface signal with my Equinox with 15 inch coil. I bent down to look in grass but couldn’t really locate…as Lori was looking on…i said I need to grab my pinpointer….grabbed it out of car and walked back. Bent down again and searched the area with pinpointer…immediately got signal under deep grass…spread the grass away…and there was this huge, beautiful, gold and diamond ring!!!I grabbed it with my fingers and held it up to Lori…oh the relief and  joyful emotions! She asked if she could hug me…and I never refuse a hug! I was so happy to find for her!

Lost a ring?

Don’t Wait To Call!

215-850-0188

Stacey and Andrew were on the picturesque Crest Pier in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey for their wedding ceremony this past weekend when Stacy’s engagement ring slipped through the gaps in the pier’s wooden planks.
Meghan from the bridal party reached out to me, and within 15 minutes, I joined the family to help them retrieve the lost ring. I initially conducted a detailed search of the sand down below but the engagement ring was not there.
I returned to my car and grabbed my endoscope to examine the space under the boards and above the pilings. With Bill and another guest offering assistance, the engagement ring was found about 15 feet above ground level out of eyesight on the rafter. Thanks to teamwork, the day was saved, and the family and friends could continue their celebrations in Wildwood Crest, NJ!

Lost necklace in the sand, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

Jersey shore ring finder ring finder south jersey Got a call from Allison about a cross and chain lost in the sand, in Lavallette NJ. She said her son Jake was there with some friends, and before entering the water, he removed it and wrapped it up in his towel for safe keeping. Later on he remembered it was in the towel, but after looking around for quite a while it was nowhere to be found. After digging around the entire area with no luck, they used a metal detector, and had the same results. I met them on the beach, and they had the entire area marked out which is always a good thing. After searching the area in two directions with no luck, we decided to look to the south, which was the opposite side of where the towel was positioned in the first location. A few feet into the new area I received a faint but solid tone, and bingo, there it was. Most likely Jake came out of the water an grabbed the towel, and by the time it was opened enough for the cross to fall out he was about 25′ of so from the original location.

Buried Urn found, Knoxville, TN

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by a gentleman who buried his father’s ashes 34 years ago. They were placed in a bucket and buried 3 feet deep. A tree was planted with the ashes in remembrance.  Over the past 34 years it became hard to tell exactly where his ashes were exactly.  It was even thought maybe the tree grew over the bucket.  The decision was made to recover his ashes and take them to the ocean and set him free. The tree was removed and the stump grinded down but no sign of the bucket.  I was called out to see if I would be able to find the urn. I was abit concerned on how deep my detector would detect but luckily I was put in a close proximity and was able to detect what I believe was the metal handle on the bucket maybe the urn. As we were digging there were some roots in the way so we decided to chop them with an ax.  It’s hard to explain but while chopping one of the roots I could hear what sounded like the reverberations of a empty bucket, I knew we were close.  After some perseverance we found the bucket and were able to remove it. It felt great to give the family closure.

Lost Gold Ring w/ Tiger Eye Inlay Found in Ypsilanti Michigan

Swinging Low, Swinging High….

….was the rhythmic motion Tom observed as his daughter was having fun on the swing set. As he was tightening some bolts on the set, she soared high thru the air. Leaning a bit too far back gazing at the bright blue sky she started to slip off the swing backwards. It was then Tom dropped his tools and rushed over to catch her and luckily, he brought her down safely. As nighttime was approaching, he gathered his tools and daughter and headed into the house. Settling in for a cozy night he noticed his family heirloom ring was missing. A short search in the dark brought no luck. I began a grid search around the swing set. No signals came thru my metal detector headphones. I decided to search a bit out aways from the set and got a clear signal. Brushing a few leaves from the grass surface revealed his beautiful ring pushed down into the ground like someone walked on it. Texting him to come out to where I was, he was bewildered to know it was out that far from the swing set. Extremely happy that his ring was found, his daughter was excited to continue having a great time on her swing with dad by her side!

Platinum Wedding Ring Lost in Driveway at a Anahiem, CA. home. Found using a metal detector service

*** Nik had pulled his motor cycle out his garage to do an afternoon ride. As he was preparing his riding attire, his gloves were pinching his left ring finger. He pulled his left glove off with his right hand. Then he heard the ping of his platinum wedding ring hit the asphalt driveway.

He purchase a metal detector from a local sporting goods store. There was only a 2ft wide strip of dirt with a metal cyclone fence. The long dirt area had dried leaves that could hide a ring. The metal fence was 6” above the ground.

Nik was sure the ring flew to the right of where he had been standing. I scanned 50ft to the right and just for a good measure I did 30ft to the left, even though Nik was insistent that the glove pulled the ring flinging it to the right. 

After two hours it was getting dark and I was ready to give up. Nik asked me if I could double check the other side of the fence one more time. I agreed even though I felt it was a waste of time. If it made him feel better that was the least I could do. My second attempt on the other side of the fence yielded nothing. Walking back to my car, I was casually swinging the detector when I got a great signal 50ft.in the opposite direction he had believed his ring flew off his finger. It was Nik’s platinum wedding ring.

Here’s what happened. The ring flew off his finger when his left hand popped out of the glove. He thought the ring was in the glove and went to the right as he pulled hid left glove off with his right hand. Confusing, yes, I’m giving up on trying to guess which way rings go when people are throwing things.  Just grid search everywhere, don’t try to figure out which way the ring went. 

Nik was very emotional and grateful to have his wedding ring back. It was not looking good after a couple hours in such a easy search area. It’s amazing to see all the crazy places these rings end up.

Lost Gold w/Diamond Stud Earring Found in Washington Township Michigan

Vampires in the Garden…..

….their monsters that lurk in your neighborhood that terrify you when your outside and want to suck your blood. That’s what happened to Robin as she was swarmed by mosquitos while pulling the last of her vegetables and weeds from the garden. Swatting at them she knocked her stud earring off into the grass. She searched with a toy type metal detector with no luck and enduring more bites from those pesky monsters, she reached out to me for help. With the mention of little vampires, I took a few garlic capsules and hit the road. Arriving on site I started a grid search with my metal detector. Searching in the bright light, I was not plagued by any mosquitos, but could tell that the woods next to the property was where they were probably hiding out. Metal detecting thru a small amount of house construction materials from long ago I finally got a great signal close to where the earring stud should be on the detector meter. Looking carefully thru the deep grass revealed Robin’s gold diamond stud earring! Texting that I found something pointy in the grass that doesn’t sting had her running out the side door. In total amazement she reached out and put the earring back into her ear! Thrilled that no extra garlic was needed she was thankful her earring was found and that no more little vampires will be haunting her Halloween!

*** While brushing sand off her shoulder, Deborah’s diamond engagement ring went flying into the sand.  Her husband, Alex had spent fours hours with a metal detector scanning the dry sand. While he was desperately trying to be her hero and find her ring. Deborah found my contact information on a google search. I wish I knew how many people walk away from their lost rings because they couldn’t find them with a beginner’s metal detector that had no idea of how to use.

I got the call from them at about 8pm. We met on a the sand in the dark near a lifeguard tower in Newport Beach. I could tell they were frustrated after so many hours of searching. Alex told me he had no confidence that a metal detector could find a small gold ring in the sand. I gave him a little explanation of how I do ring searches with the most up to date equipment and years of experience using them.

Twenty minutes of grid scanning produced the precious white gold engagement ring. They were ecstatic giving me big high fives. It’s always nice to see how grateful people are when we find their special keepsake. I know the ring probably would not be there if they waited till the next day before calling for help. Items lost in public need to be searched as soon as possible.  If you lost anything call me or any other member if TheRingFinders.

Lost Ring Found Under the Starlight of South Dennis, MA

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

October 2, 2023: While preparing for a monthly association meeting I just missed answering my cell phone. Luckily the caller followed the answering message and called my home line. My wife was near enough to get the phone to me before the caller hung up. The caller was Dennis and he had been cleaning off a swinging chair readying it for an hour or so of enjoying the morning sun and bright blue sky. Something that had not been seen for the previous few days of rain and heavy fog. As he brushed the leaves away, away went his wedding band.

In hours of searching he did not find the ring. At the local hardware store that rents a metal detector he was told that he would be very lucky to find the ring with their rental unit. With that said he was given information about the local guy (me) that has professional equipment for such a search and to contact him through TheRingFinders.com. And Dennis did.

As I said, I had a meeting to go to and the sun was setting about 6:30 with last light at 7PM. My luck and Dennis’s was that the meeting was very short and I could be detecting within 10 minutes, and I was. Twilight was replaced by moon light and flash lights so I could continue my searching.

I knew the ring would be somewhere within the area of the chair, fence, garden and grassy area. I covered the grassy area first as it was the easiest to detect over. No ring was to be found. Next I started between the chair and garden’s edge. I was going to leave the planted garden area for last. I had no need to, as the third swing between the chair and the garden’s edge I heard a very promising signal. A sweep with my pin-pointer and Dennis saw a glitter from his ring, even before I did. He was so fast in his motion of picking it up and putting the wedding band back where it belonged, on his finger. I never saw it happen.

Now it was time to do a bit of talking. Put retired Army and Navy men together and they can talk for hours. We cut it short and took a few pictures and said our Thank Yous and I was on my way back home knowing Dennis’s wife would have a bigger smile on her face than Dennis had on his, though it would be hard to do so.

Lost Three Pieces of Jewelry in the Surf at a Orange County Beach, CA. Recovered with Metal Detector.

I can help you if you lost a ring or any jewelry in a place where a metal detector can be used.. Call or text ..Stan the Metal Detector Man … 949-500-2136

… Margret was kneeling in the surf near the Balboa Pier when a rouge wave hit her. After recovering from that wave she realized her gold chain with two pendants and a small gold ring were missing. These had been given to her by her father and very sentimental to her.

John, a family friend reached out to call me for help. We met on the beach as the tide was rising a half hour after the loss. Normally our best chance for a recovery is the next low tide. I like to meet as soon as possible to get the best shot at the location before the people leave the beach.

I did pull out my detector to search the incoming tide because there is always a chance the waves may push the items up the sandy slope. After a half hour working to waist deep water I was able to find the small gold ring. Margret was happy to have this ring as it was inscribed. I was able to tell her the lightweight pendants may be difficult to find as the backwash of the waves on this steep sloping beach can take it out of range for my equipment. 

I returned for the next two low tides and could not find the two pendants. Actually Margret told me the ring was the most important of the three pieces of jewelry. She had thought it was so small that a metal detector couldn’t find it. 

Sorry for the poor photos, I don’t carry a cellphone when I’m searching the surf. I stopped carrying my cellphone after dropping it in the surf while doing a search. ( I couldn’t recover my phone even though I realized it was missing a minute after dropping it) It happen a couple years ago  and it was an expensive search for me.
