Received a call today from Tim after he lost his tantalum wedding ring while playing with his dog in a grassy area. He and his wife tried to find it for hours!!! He even marked the exact location with a wooden stick! After he couldn’t find it, he thought about buying a detector, but instead found me on the ring finders and gave me a call.
After I get there. We walk about 400 yards to the area where he lost it. After about 15-20 mins I get a high tone. It was less than 3 feet from the marker he had stuck in the ground.
Matt and Alicia enjoyed a day on the beach with their sons in Sea Isle City, NJ on Wednesday. They arrived around 3 PM and set their chairs up near the water’s edge. Before applying sunscreen to herself and her sons, Alicia took her 4 rings off and layed them on her chair. As the tide came in, the chairs had to be moved back a few times. They packed up around 7 PM and returned to their house. Approximately an hour later, Alicia realized her wedding rings were missing. Matt gave me a call and we planned to meet at low tide. I gridded the wet sand and did not get any signals, so I expanded the search up to the dry sand. After gridding the dry sand for some time, I finally got a signal and dug up one of the 3 bands. The next signal was another band, followed by the engagement ring that is extremely sentimental because the diamond is a family heirloom. Thankfully, the last band was nearby and recovered!
While on vacation I was approached about a lost game piece that was made out of metal. the game piece had gotten under the sand and she could not find it. It was not long after gridding off the area the piece was found and the fun games could start again!

Watch the SeattleRingHunter recover an iPhone 13 from fifty feet after ten days from Lake Sammamish.

May 2022 I receive a call from Max after having found my Lake Sammamish YouTube recovery videos. He told me he was on a paddle board with his younger sister and they had just lost his iPhone 13 in the lake!
“Can you help me? , he asked me.
I responded with a few questions of my own. I asked if he had any land marks next to him in the water where the phone was lost such as dock, tree or a piling. I also ask how far out from shore he was?
He told me he could see the homes but nothing in the water around him as a landmark. These were not good answers and it seems some what hopeless to me from the initial responses but I have learned to continue pressing for critical details anyway. I told him Lake Sammamish gets deep quick and the phone might be flooded. He informed me that it was in a waterproof bag. It broke loose from his sister’s neck and sunk to the bottom of the lake.
I had a bit of hope that maybe the phone would be dry but how to know the drop zone was still a mystery.
He also said he had a photo of where they were when the phone was lost.He txted the photo to me but it was not specific enough to support a dive.
I asked how the photo was taken? His response to me by surprise that he had the whole incident on his GoPro video.
Turned out he had thirteen minutes of total footage and the iPhone drop was clearly at the seven minute mark.
I thought for a bit longer and asked what version GoPro was used?
He responded, “GoPro Version 8.”
My confidence level started to warm up quickly as I asked the $1,000 question of the day.Did you have the GPS enabled, turned on?
He checked and said yes the GPS was ON!
At this moment my confidence level was about to boil. If this turned out to be true I would be willing to dive for the phone. I had him upload the footage to my Google share drive so I could inspect the data with my own eyes. I could hardly contain myself what if we actually have a full video account of the incident with embedded GPS data. I was anxious as the video file was downloaded to my computer.
When I played the video for the first time I was pleased to see the high definition footage of the complete incident. The instant the phone broke free from her neck as he pulled her onto the paddle board we can actually hear the lanyard clip break and at this instant my confidence level was spiking.
I found an appropriate software application and applied some gauges to the video displaying all the critical data. After watching the video a second time with live GPS data on the screen my confidence level for this recovery reached a full rolling boil! At this moment I knew we had all we needed to dive on this mission with a very solid opportunity of a recovery not based on luck and chance but founded on solid technical skills and process.
We could have not ask for anything better. Even the fact that the GoPro had been running for several minutes was an absolute blessing allowing the GPS to have a solid lock on several satellites for optimum accuracy.
Here is the video…

May 2022 Chase contacted me for assistance in finding his lost white gold wedding band. He recently had some cellulose installation blown into the attic of his home. After the job was complete he entered the attic to preform a simple inspection of the work. After completing his inspection he shook his hands while dusting his shirt off when his wedding band dislodged from his finger. With a sea of soft fluffy cellulose at his feet his ring was engulfed out of site the minute it touched the installation. He went on line and quickly learned that if he had rented a metal detector he’d most likely would not find his ring having no real experience using a metal detector. With this advise he turned to TheRingFinders.com found my listing and invited me over. Due to my experience I has asked about the details of his ring so I was best prepared for the type of metal I would be searching for. As it turned out his wife’s white gold wedding band was prettymuch identical just a few sizes smaller than his. I used this opportunity to do a test scan with my machine. As you will see this afforded me a lot of confidence once I got over the intended taggert in the attic.
Attic searches can be very tricky as its bad enough bracing your feet on the rafters, sometimes crawling is required, inhospitable working environment requiring proper PPE protective gear, respirators, bunny suits, lighting and that all before understanding how to use a metal detector properly for the intended target. Attics have a lot of nails, staples and screws along with metal bracing plates, metal electrical boxes and power cords all adding to the challenge of finding a lost wedding ring in an attic. In the summer time they can be all over 100 F limiting an unexperienced individuals mobility and search time. Its quite clear save yourself the hassle and call an experienced Ring Finer for this type of work.

May 2022 Tony contacted me for assistance in finding his lost platinum wedding band. He had spent the day doing a lot of yard work and believed he had lost his ring some place in his yard.
It was not until I arrived at his property and we did a walk through did I fully understand the large area that he had worked. I learned that he did not have any gloves on during his work. Furthermore he had several instances where he was collecting loose yard debris and either tossing piles of clippings into a yard wast bin or throwing bits off to the side of the yard. There was also quite a bit of hedging that took place and anyof these proposed to be a perfect opportunity for his ring to have slipped away. As with any large project I tend to treat it like a full course meal. Break it down into smaller size pieces and start eating away at it one bite at a time. The hope is eventually if the ring is there to be found it will turn up.

Watch the SeattleRingHunter search the ivy for this lost wedding band.

June 2022 My buddy from work placed the call for assistance for a mens wedding band lost in the ivy. He was calling from a local high school track meet as he explained he had just watched a friend of the family loose his wedding ring.
Austin was just warming up for the shot put and as he made his throw my buddy and several others witnessed his wedding ring fly off his hand, hit the chain link fence and disappeared into an unmanaged jungle of ivy and brush. The details were passed to me over the phone with some supporting photos and an idea of the location where the ring was lost.
This site being rather close to my residence I was able to make several trips to the location knowing that no-one else would just stumble across the ring. However I did make an initial visit the evening of the track meet as a swarm of people were leaving. As it was dark I had a flashlight so I was able to visually check the clean side of the fence first incase the ring actually bounced back to where everyone was standing on the shot-put side. No ring was found with a detailed sweep so I was very confident the ring was hidden and obscured in the ivy some place. The eye witnesses reports stated they clearly heard the ring hit the fence so the biggest “what if” question in my head is if the ring dropped straight down or ricocheted and sailed off into the forest of ivy bushes. With a large young man fully wound up full of energy throwing a shot put there was a big concern that the ring could have had quite a bit of energy behind it sending it quite a distance. To this point the only thing I could be sure of is that the ring wasn’t going to be found unless I performed a dedicated search until it turned up!

Sheila contacted me today about her fiancé’s chain and cross that were accidentally left on the beach in Ventnor, NJ. The surf was rough yesterday, so he decided to take it off before going into the ocean. Forgetting that it was in the side pocket of the beach chair, the jewelry dropped into the sand when packing up. They didn’t realize it was missing until after they got home and were extremely upset because it is very sentimental. I met with the couple on the beach and they gave me the approximate location where it could have been lost. Something in the distance caught my eye as I was walking around detecting. It glistened for a second, so I decided to walk toward it. It turned out to be the edge of the cross peeking out of the sand! It’s a great feeling when you find what you’re looking for, but it’s extra special when you recover something so sentimental.

Watch the SeattleRingHunter in this epic in home search for a lost diamond wedding ring.

May 2022 Ilandra called me seeking help for a lost diamond wedding ring in her home. She clearly tells me the situation of where she last had her ring. Just a few days prior she was cooking dinner over her stove when some food got on to her ring. She remembers washing her ring off in her kitchen sink then drying it with a kitchen towel that was hanging from her oven door. She recalls clutching her ring in her hand as she went up the stairs to her bedroom to prepare for an evening shower. Just a few minutes after having left the kitchen she had gathered a pajama top from her bedroom closet, placed some close on her bathroom counter and realized her precious diamond wedding ring was no where to be found! She has a common habit of leaving her wedding ring on the bathroom counter while bathing and expected the ring to be there but it was not. She asked her husband who had been with her all evening and he clearly remembered having last seen her washing it off in the kitchen. What seem to have taken place in an instant turned into a huge all night search with the couple turning their house upside down looking for her ring yet no ring was to be found. After hearing this story I asked several clarifying questions as my basic line of investigation. The odd thing was this was a basic routine end of day evening for them. There was no drinking, no stress, no drama, no third parties had been in the home, no cats or dogs. I learned she has a young son but he had been sleeping the whole time this incident took place. She explained she was at a total loss of where or what could have happened to her ring and after having found me online she was desperate and needed some help.
With all these details I reassured her if the ring was still on the property I would do all I could to assist her with an in home search. I explained with all of my special tools, processes and experience we needed to act quickly and to treat this in home search as a priority. She agreed with me as we set a schedule to meet just a few days later. I also took that opportunity to stress the point from my past experience they needed to save all the house hold garbage and to set it aside in a safe quarantine zone. She confirmed that they still had all of the trash and had done some looking through it already but agreed and fully understood the importance in securing all the house hold garbage.As I tell many people in this situation we just don’t know if its in the trash, the laundry, under an appliance, hiding in a cabinet or container. At the very least allow me to search your house hold garbage before releasing it to the curb regardless of how much you may have poked through it yourself.
When it comes to in home searches each case is unique and of its own but there is common areas we tend to focus on a first priority to search based on our years of experience. With human nature certain actions and activities causing lost jewelry tend to stand out to us as Lost Item Recovery Specialist so please allow us an opportunity to do all we can to assist you in your lost item situation.
