That needle in the hay stack!

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)

I was called out today to look for a gold ring that Mr. Harris lost. This ring used to be his Grandfather’s. His ring was lost while feeding his horses about 5 months ago in December and found in May. I only had to search for about 5 minutes and found it in the dirt just by the fence. I am truly glad I could find his family heirloom and bring closure.

Lost Diamond Engagement Ring – Cape Hatteras National Seashore, NC – FOUND!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

I got a call from Maeva on Thursday morning around 7:30 am. She said that her sister, Bianca, had lost her wedding ring on Hatteras Island and needed help.  She said that they had to leave to go back to Canada today and they really needed my help right away.

I told them that Hatteras is a no-go for metal detectors and is administered by the National Park Service.  I would have to get permission and probably be observed by a NPS employee.  They understood.

As I drove, I called the NPS and explained that the ladies from Canada had lost their ring and had to return home today.  I met with Maeva, her sister Bianca and their mom Nathlie.  Bianca, who owned the rings, told me that they lost 3 rings.  One ring was found immediately near the parking area.  The other two were a wedding set but the one they really wanted was the engagement ring with the most diamonds.  They showed me the area that they had been in from the parking area to the beach and explained that they thought they lost it when she opened her purse.

The NPS contacted me and arranged for Mark to supervise my detecting.  I began at the area the ladies had found one ring thinking the others would be close.  No such luck.  The area was target rich with lots of trash items, but after about 30 minutes I had a good hit.   It was the engagement ring!

Later I Facetimed Bianca.  I told her that I had good news and bad news, which do you want first?  She said give me the bad news.  I said that I had only been able to recover one ring.  Then I moved the camera to show her the engagement ring.  She was ecstatic!

Thanks to NPS employees Mike and Mark who made this recovery possible!

UPDATE:  Shipping this ring to Canada was complicated…complete with the owner being taxed for what Canada thought was a purchase and me having to make a statement that I was simply returning a lost possession.  I took nearly a month to make it home.

TIMING IS IMPORTANT .. call ASAP .. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136  ..I Will Answer the Call.

*** Daniel called asking for help to find a white gold wedding band that he lost in the sand 4 days ago. The area of the loss was a very populated part of Newport Beach, CA. I gave him a short explanation of our chances to recover the ring as that beach is heavily hunted area by recreational metal detectors and it is also sifted by the city Beach King machine.

He understood and I said I could meet him at the location. This was the last day he would be able to show me the general location. He showed me a 20’x20’ area. I setup my metal detector and decided to start at the center. A half dozens swings of my detector and my first signal was Daniel’s white gold wedding ring that had been hiding in the sand at the towel line. 

Both Daniel and his wife were very happy and amazed that his ring was found so fast after so many days. I know all the possibilities that the ring could have easily been found or picked up by the cleaning machines. This is just another case to stay positive and give it try..

Diamond Stud earring returned to owner in Chicago.

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

A fellow Ringfinder received a call to look for the Diamond stud earring. He didn’t find it. I told him I could hunt with my XP Deus 1 with my HF coil at 74 kHz . He gave me the map as to where it was lost. I notched out every signal that could not be the item and found it shortly. The earring had just been given as an anniversary present 2 days before. I told her to get it insured.

West Chester New York lost gold men’s wedding band recovered

  • from Mahwah (New Jersey, United States)

Ben was working in his yard and his hands were wet and muddy. He shook his hands off and realized his 14 carat wedding band was missing.
he borrowed a metal detector from a friend and tried finding his ring with no success. He spent hours searching in the lawn where he was sure he lost the ring.

on the recommendation of a friend he located me on the Ringfinders website. We arranged for me to search for the ring. I showed up and he described where he thought he lost the ring.

I located the lost ring in 15 minutes and Ben was elated as the jeweler who made the ring could not recreate the ring due to health problems.

so, if you lose something precious, don’t hesitate to call an expert detectorist through the Ringfinders.

 

Lost Wedding Ring Returned in Calgary…..8 months later.

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)

May 14,2022

Samuel called me. He lost his wedding ring……8 months earlier while closing the gate at an RV storage lot. When it happened, he searched, rented a metal detector twice and returned to rake. He did everything anyone who has lost something should do. When I was speaking to him, I really had my doubts about it. Time is the enemy. In the end I agreed to take a look. On a Saturday morning I met Samuel and we looked.  Based on his description it should have been right there and he should have found it right away. With snow on the ground when it happened, we guessed that maybe a vehicle drove over it and moved it or maybe it was plowed. So I expanded the search area and did the sides of the road. That is when I heard the sound I needed to hear. I picked up the ring and gave it to Samuel. He was totally overwhelmed in emotion and incredibly grateful. When I took a look at the ring, I could tell why.  I am glad it is back where it belongs.

How to Find Property Markers

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Bill and Robert’s Three Out of the Four Property Markers Located by Brian Rudolph in Chantilly, Virginia (These 3 Pins Seen Here Are 3 Separate Images Combined to View all of the Targets in One Photo).

THE RING FINDERS Member and Professional Metal Detectorist Brian Rudolph Pointing to One of the Three Property Markers Found (Yellow Cap Inserted).

How to find property markers is a task that is not as easy as it seems for most home owners. One usually needs a professional surveyor or metal detectorist to help identify where the pins are located.

Call Item Recovery Specialist Brian Rudolph at (301) 466-8644! He Will Find Your Lost Property Marker! Also Brian Finds Lost Items of All Kinds in Any Environment: Land, Water, Sand, Cliffs, Snow, Leaves, Houses & Vehicles!

First of all, a property marker is a special steel pin that is inserted into the ground to mark the parameter of the property owned. This task is conducted at the time that the land is divided up into parcels. When someone wants to put up a fence in their yard, they need to know where the markers are located so that there is reassurance that they will not be placing the fence on their neighbor’s adjacent property.

Surveyors cost a lot of money to home owners when there is a need to hire someone to identify the markers that are hiding beneath the earth. The range in price can escalate anywhere from $600 up to and beyond $2000. Hiring a professional metal detectorist can prove to be much more cost efficient. However, the detectorist cannot provide official documentation certifying that the location that the pins were discovered were in fact the correct locations of the property boundaries. It will be pretty obvious to the owner of the property that when comparing the original property plat to the locations of the markers, everything checks out quite accurately. Then, there is no need to call in an official surveyor and the owner essentially saves a fortune! This is exactly what happened with Bill and Robert when I received a call from them asking for help in locating their property markers on their Chantilly, Virginia property.

Bill and Robert were planning to construct a fence on their property. They needed to know where the two pins were located in the back yard. They found me online under METAL DETECTING ADVENTURES INC (my personal metal detecting business) and on THE RING FINDERS website (the elite directory of metal detecting specialists located all over the world). The couple wanted to save a fortune and so they hired me to find their markers.

I traveled to Bill and Robert’s house and the two showed me the plat of the house and I took the search from there. In the back yard there was an old civil war rock wall that stretched throughout the back side of the houses on that street and beyond. So, it turned out to be a bit difficult to find the buried pieces of steel. Yet, I was able to successfully find three of the four pins which were more than enough property markers to conclude the exact location of the couple’s boundaries. The fourth marker was somewhere buried under the rocks that were piled up on the left rear corner of the estate, but because of my limited time, I had to stop the search for the final marker. It didn’t matter to Bill and Robert because they knew where they could build based on following the front marker all of the way to the back of the house.

Bill and Robert were so grateful for my work. They paid only a fourth of what they would have paid with a surveyor, and before long, their fence was set into place without any controversies with the adjacent neighbors!

Is finding property pins easy? Not at all. Even the best detectorist or surveyor has problems locating the exact places where the boundaries were originally set into place. Therefore, just the average home owner with a metal detector will not be able to identify the pins and they will find out sooner than later that a professional needs to be called in – just like what Bill and Robert did when they called metal detectorist, Brian Rudolph, for assistance! They were happy they did!

Ring Found in Grass at Baby Beach, Dana Point, CA. .. Returned to Owner by Ring Finder

How to find a ring on the beach .. Call, Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

 

*** A past client of mine contacted me, saying he saw a lost ring post on Craigslist. I sent the person a message offering help to look for his ring. The next day I received a call from Ivan, who believed his ring was lost in the sand at Baby Beach, Dana Point, CA.

A whole day had pasted and it was already going to be dark before I could meet Ivan at the location. I met Ivan 45 minutes we talked on the phone. He showed me a 50ft x 50ft area of dry sand that he believed he lost the ring. After grid searching that part of the beach without finding his ring, I asked him if he had been anywhere else that day. He said, they had eaten lunch on the lawn in the shade of a nearby tree. He was sure that the ring was not there because he thought it would have been easily spotted in the thin grass if it were lost in that spot. 

I had to convince him it would be worth spending another few minutes to do a quick scan with my metal detector. As I began my grid search, I realized I would need my pinpointer to check the many signals I was getting. The darkness made it difficult to check signals. Just as I was getting ready to walk over to my car to get the pinpointer, I got a signal and I had enough light to see a round edge of a gold ring. BOOM! .. Ivan’s ring.  He was double surprised because he had already decided the ring could not be in that location. It was a good night and another very special recovery..
