Dallas, Tx – 72 yr old Alzheimers wife hides all her jewelry and silverware

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We received a call from an 86-year-old gentleman who said his 72-yr old wife (who has Alzheimers) had hidden his last set of keys to his car and he needed our help desperately and then he began to cry, it nearly broke my heart; secondly he told me that over the last two years she has hidden all of her jewelry and all of their silver somewhere in their 4000 sq ft home and beautiful yard in Dallas.. we said we would come right out. We went over, checked out the home as the couple had lived there 38 years and had lots of things in the home presenting lots of challenges.  We set up a schedule to come back on a weekly basis to continue the search and go room by room, item by item, which is something very unusual for us to do.  Using our Garrett Pinpointer‘s today we finished our first four hours of searching & found several sets of earrings,  a beautiful lapis bracelet  and some other miscellaneous items that he was very happy to get back. We’re going back again next week as we’re focusing on a very expensive necklace and very special pair of earrings that are missing  totaling somewhere in the area of $35,000 – $70,000 in total jewelry cost.  We consider this as part of our “forgotten fortune” category.  We will keep  you guys updated as we go forward.

Ring Found in Burlington VT

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

6/15/22

Got an urgent message from a woman who’s close friend had just lost her engagement ring. She gave me some information, pictures of the ring and a phone number to call. So I called her friend right away.

She sounded absolutely devastated. This ring was extremely sentimental. Her fiancé had recently proposed to her and the ring had once been his great grandmother’s. And plus, it was a beautiful ring!

My wife, being the big hearted sweetie she is, told me to go on the search, even though we had plans for the evening. She knew how important this one was, especially being lost in a public area.

So, I left immediately and met her and her fiancé on the beach where she might have lost it. She had also been riding her bike, but we decided the beach was more likely. She and her fiancé had borrowed a metal detector from a friend, so I showed them some basic detecting techniques. I got started with my gridding, and got a ton of junk signals. On the second pass I got a good, semi-shallow signal, pushed my fingers and pinpointer into the sand and felt the shape of a ring. I pulled it out and it was hers!!

When I gave it to her it you could sure see the relief and emotions. I was so happy it was back on her finger and wished them a long happy life together.

I love this hobby! Please click on my name above for more stories and contact information.

San Diego metal detecting service found a lost diamond wedding ring at Coronado beach

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)
Contact:

The Ring Finders metal detecting service helped find a lost diamond wedding ring buried at Coronado beach in the sand. Call 760 889 2751 for a fast recovery.

A couple from Washington was visiting San Diego early this year of 2022 when this priceless platinum diamond ring went missing in the beach sand. They happened to have found my contact info online through TheRingFinders website and called me after searching fruitlessly sifting through the sand countless hours to anvil. I was able to meet them the same evening that day and helped them out within just a few minutes of scanning around.

If you can only imagine being in someone else’s shoes on either side,,what would you do? Me personally,,I go out of my way for good Karma with my metal detector on any pickings of any day or week. To some they call this Treasure,,I call the smiles I get in return “Treasure.” Yeah of course we detectorist’s find some long lost gold,Jewelry,Coins etc,, But when I get a call for help it is not about finding treasure or Bragging on friendly online forums about my finds for Keepsakes!

This is a hobby many of us are very fortunate to enjoy and I certainly enjoy helping our hobby look good after over 100 lost rings have been found and returned with my help and experience.

Beautiful, Sentimental Gold Charms Lost, Recovered and Returned in Swedesboro, NJ!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Got a late night text from Renee after she found me in the Ring Finder Directory. After a few days of frantic searching and the purchase and attempted use of a cheap metal detector she decided to reach out to a professional! In our text conversation she shared with me that she was out berry-picking at her home in the Swedesboro, NJ area when her hand got caught in her beautiful gold, charm-laden necklace and the chain broke spilling all the charms over a grassy area. She was able to find the chain and 2-3 of the charms but couldn’t locate 2 of them. She told me that she acquired the charms in France many years ago….and they were extremely important to her. I agreed to meet her the following afternoon. Upon arrival to her home I first asked to see the similar charms she was able to recover….I scanned them with my detector to firstly make sure my machine could pick them up and secondly to calibrate my machine to pick up just them when scanning the area. She made it easy for me by marking the area where the chain broke and she found several of the charms. I was about 3 minutes into the search when my machine let out a sweet low tone that suggested gold! With Renee at my shoulder I bent down and pushed some grass out of the way….there they were! The immediate relief and joy showing on Renee’s face makes it all worth it! I was very happy to be able to reunite Renee with her very important and sentimental charms!

Lost Wedding Ring at Utah Lake- Found

Contact:

Monday I got a call from Taija who had just lost her wedding ring over the weekend at Utah lake. The weather was very nice over the weekend but we had a big storm roll through and it had dropped the temperature into the 40’s on Monday. I headed down to meet Taija at the marina in Lindon and walk the areas where she had been. She took off her ring before getting out of the car and then proceeded down to the water’s edge. After taking a dip in the lake, she returned to the car and that is when she realized the ring was missing. I started to search where she had left her clothes on the bank of the lake. Lot’s of lead sinkers and trash everywhere!!! To make the search even more difficult, the lake shore was nothing but rocks with plenty of cracks where the ring could hide. After about 2 hours, I circled back to where she had took her shorts off and noticed a firepit that had been covered up with some rocks. Since I was unable to get down into the cracks, I started moving rocks around and that’s when I got the signal. I looked down and laying in the firepit was the beautiful white gold ring with several diamonds. Taija had told me that they were celebrating their 10 year anniversary this summer and was planning on upgrading the ring. With the cold wind and rain, she had headed back to her house so after getting back to the car, I gave her a call to tell her the good news!  Needless to say she was very happy to get the phone call and I was very happy to be out of the cold wind. I drove straight to her house where I was able to return the ring! All in all it was a tough search but happy I was able to find it! Congrats on your 10 year anniversary Taija!

Pocket Knife found in Paw Paw, Michigan

Lost Pocket Knife in Paw Paw, Michigan.
I received a phone call from Larry this afternoon, stating that he lost a pocket knife with a lot of sentimental value. His late wife gave him this knife, so it’s important to him. While trimming his iris flowers as it was getting dark, the knife flew out of his hand and bounced off the neighbors’ wood fence. He couldn’t find it. He looked for it again the next morning and still could not find the knife. So Gregg and I hopped in the car and made the one hour trip to Larry’s log home, which sits at the end of a long driveway and on the bank of a river. You think these gorgeous places only exist on HGTV or in magazines. It took just a few minutes to find the pocket knife, and with a little brushing and polishing he will have the knife back in perfect shape. With the temperature near 90 he offered us a cool-down inside his log house and it was a sight to see with the hand-hewn beams, etc. Afterward we parted ways and headed home with another good deed done for the day.
