I got a call from Brandon in the evening. He had been at the beach cleaning off his surfboard when with the flick of his hand his ring went flying into the sand. He searched diligently yet was unable to find it. I let him know I would leave soon to help him find it.

When I arrived Brandon walked me out to the search area. He had marked the area very well, so he knew exactly how to find it which helped because it was dark. He had lined off the area, so that is where I started my search. I searched about 1 half of my grid line when I got a great signal, dug and had his ring. I handed it back to him which made him very happy.

I received a call from Tommy, he is a Los Angeles Lifeguard, and while exercising prior to his shift he noticed his wedding ring had come off and was lost somewhere in the beach sand. I let him know I would leave immediately to do the search.

When I got there Tommy showed me where he had been exercising which included the area of beach that he had been running in which greatly expanded the search area. I began going over the tracks that he left in the sand running on the beach finding some coins along with the regular beach trash metal, but no ring. I searched around the lifeguard tower where he said he had been, still no ring. I had been there a while and Tommy’s shift was over, so he had to drive the County truck back to finish his day. I let him know that I would continue my search until I felt I had exhausted all possibilities. After he left I searched where the truck had been parked, and right where the front door had been I found the ring in the sand. He must have been putting something in the truck when it fell there. I sent him a text to inform him of the find, and he drove back to get it. This recovery really made his day!

I was contacted by Deborah about the loss of her husband’s wedding ring. He was with her in the back yard the day before and was explaining how loose it was on his finger, and to show her, he walked out on the grass and flicked his hand in a downward motion. In a second the ring came off just as he expected but disappeared in the grass. They searched for hours to find it but were unable to locate it. We arranged a time to do the search, and I headed over.

When I got there Deborah took me back to the loss sight and explained to me exactly how it happened. I set up my detector, turned it on, swung about 3 times, and received a very strong signal, I put in my pin pointer, and found the ring not far from where he had been standing. They were very happy to have it back, and I was happy to have helped.

Coopers Beach Lost Key While Swimming

  • from Paihia (New Zealand)

Ring Finder – Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost ring? Lost necklace? Lost keys?… Metal Detector Service – Call ASAP 021 401626

I was at work when Heather phoned.
She had been swimming at Coopers Beach and when caught by a rogue wave, her expensive-to-replace chipped car key slipped from inside her costume.
I made a quick call to my boss to check he was okay with me disappearing for half the day (again!), and after a few hasty discussions with others arranging cover while I was away, I was on the road.
Unfortunately, I work about halfway between home and Coopers Beach, so had a half hour drive each way to get the gear before continuing north to the site.

I arrived just before low tide to see Heather and her mother doing ‘The Walk’ that I have seen many times. Heads down, wandering aimlessly whilst staring intently at the sand. Occassionally scuffing their feet at something that could be a key, but disappointingly turning out to be a black pebble or bit of shell.

Thankfully, Heather had a video of where they had been swimming, showing a distinctive clump of seaweed and a pattern of shells in the foreground. From this I was able to define a reasonably tight arc that the key might be in but people often drift to one side or another. The distribution of seaweed along the beach showed me which way the current was running so I marked the likely maximum up-current limit and would work downcurrent. It was now just a matter of passing the coil over the key. Miss it by 2 inches and I could walk straight past it.
Recoveries take a huge amount of self-discipline. The hardest are when they stretch into the night, the rain begins to fall and the hours continue to slide past…and that’s just on land.
But today was calm, sunny and a beautiful location.

I set up a grid on the wet sand at the edge of the water as I waited for the tide to drop.
I was digging the odd coin, bottle cap or ancient copper boat nail. You must verify every target in this game, a trashy area will sometimes have you checking over a hundred potentials.
The beach here was away from the popular areas so thankfully relatively devoid of false targets.
Dry land completed, I started to move out into the water.

About thigh deep, just deep enough to get inconveniently soaked by waves, I picked up a solid iron tone under the loose sand and shell.
The key was about 10cm down in this very mobile, almost fluid, shell mix and it took a couple of bites with the scoop to lift it out of the hole. I held it up to Heather with a big grin, and waded ashore.

…Then headed back to work to catch up.

Ring lost in Alpine Found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

April contacted me yesterday asking if I could travel to Alpine, Ca. to search for a lost wedding ring. Sure I could! We made arrangements to meet today at 1pm to conduct the search. It seems that after dark the night before, in a momentary fit of pique, she threw the ring across the street from her house toward the front yard of a neighbor. She shortly regretted her actions, and with her husband, searched for hours with an inexpensive metal detector without success. After getting the description and likely area where the ring should have landed, I started a grid search in the ice plant with my Equinox, while my wife did a visual search along the street, sidewalk and yard area. After a little over 15 minutes and several pieces of foil later, I got a good signal in the ice plant right next to a bush. I pulled some of the surface branches aside and ran my pin pointer down inside. Just as I received a signal, I could just see the beautiful white gold engagement/wedding ring. My wife went back across the street to give them the good news. After showing them where the ring ended up, I removed it from it’s hiding place and handed it to a happy April. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

 

How to Metal Detect a Platinum Diamond Wedding Ring in Sofa…Burke, Virginia

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Alexandra’s Beautiful Platinum Diamond Ring Recovered in Sofa by Expert Ring Finder Brian Rudolph in Burke, Virginia

Alexandra and Bryan Smiling Happily Ever After Now That Ring Finder Rudolph of THE RING FINDERS Found the Couple’s Sentimental Symbol of Love!

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

I received a call from a young lady named Alexandra who needed my help to find two missing items in her home. One was a gold cross pendant and the other was her platinum wedding band with multiple round and baguette diamonds encircled around the band. Alexandra let me know that she lost her pendant a week prior to our contact and then the wedding band went missing a couple of days after that. When she and her husband Bryan tried everything to recover the jewelry and then their efforts ultimately led to no avail, that was when the young lady felt it was time to call a professional ring finder (if one even existed) in order to help the couple solve these two mysteries!

Alexandra found me online when she was searching for a specialist to help her find the lost pendant and ring. My client came across the elite international directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS and within a short period of time, Alexandra was on the phone talking with me about the details of these two disappearances. I was excited to help the couple knowing my past successes with in-house searches for missing property. I love solving these mysteries and this particular search intrigued me a great deal because it involved searching for two very different types of items that were lost completely independent of one another.

Because we were dealing with an in-house search, I encouraged Alexandra to check out past articles and videos of mine that show my successes while searching for lost property in people’s homes. She had done her research in advance of her calling me, so we were all set to go to schedule an appointment for me to come out and give it a shot on solving these cases.

The very next day I headed out to Burke, Virginia extremely excited about taking on this brand new challenge before me. When I arrived, Alexandra went over all of the details regarding both pieces of property that she had lost over the last week. With regards to the crucifix, she took me over to a dining room table padded bench where she found only the chain that the pendant was originally connected to. She explained that when she fastened the chain, she accidentally did not connect the clasp correctly and that had explained why the chain was not even broken when she found it on the bench seat. Alexandra went on to share that she looked everywhere for the beloved crucifix, searching the upstairs bathroom (where she had initially put it on) as well as scouring her bedroom, kitchen area, living room and even the back seat of her car. No matter how much teamwork was given to the couple’s efforts, the very special cross was nowhere to be found.

As far as the missing wedding band was concerned, Alexandra and her husband Brian shared that the only place that the ring most likely had ended up was the sofa in the living room. When my client laid down on the couch to take a nap, she believed that she took both her engagement ring and wedding band off and placed them beside each other somewhere on one of the cushions. Then, when she awoke, the rings were both gone. Bryan searched throughout that area and he swore that he heard a “jingle” sound while lifting up the cushions to inspect underneath. To both of their surprise, Alexandra spotted the engagement ring right at the edge of where one part of the sectional piece connected to a second sectional piece. The two of them figured they would find the wedding band somewhere close to the other ring that was discovered, but when they searched over and over again, they could not find the platinum and diamond wedding band anywhere. Alexandra and Brian both believed that the sentimental keepsake must have ended up down below in one of those sectional pieces belonging to the sofa. However, no matter how they flipped the couch and used flashlights to shine down inside the rectangular shaped furniture, neither one of them could spot the missing-in- action piece of jewelry.

Once I completed collecting all of the facts needed to start the first search, I pulled out the gear that I needed to begin looking for the lost crucifix pendant and then headed to the second floor to start the recovery operation. I checked every square inch of each of the rooms where Alexandra had shared where she put the chain on in the bathroom as well as moved around in the master bedroom and another room that was adjacent to it. I inspected all of the carpets and all of the spaces between the walls and the carpet and still nothing turned up. Then, I placed my endoscope down into the sink, but it was completely clear, along with every crack and crevice that I found underneath the plumbing and below the sink cabinet. Once I cleared all of the rooms, I moved my way down the hall back towards the stairs and analyzed all of the carpet as I moved my way back towards the first level.

When dealing with in-house searches, there will be those times when the case that I’m trying to crack just keeps on getting more mysterious as I check every which place in the rooms that were associated with its disappearance. No matter how detailed the search is conducted, for whatever reason, the treasure sometimes doesn’t make itself known. In regards to this case, I thoroughly inspected every open space in the foyer of the house, all of the kitchen and drawers that would apply to this particular search, all of the eating areas along with checking where the detached chain was found lying on the bench at the table where the couple would generally eat. Still, nothing was found. When everything checked out to be clear in the living room as well, I put my jacket and shoes on and headed outside to metal detect the front lawn that led down to the sidewalk (just in case Alexandra had lost her piece of jewelry as she went to her car to grab a couple things before returning back inside). I was truly hoping I would find the gold in that region but still there was nothing positive to speak about after finishing that section of the property. The very last place that I had to check was the back seat and floor of Alexander’s vehicle, but sad to say, upon doing a thorough review, it checked out to be as clean as a whistle. Therefore I had to conclude that the 14 karat gold cross would not be recovered under my watch. I was hopeful that perhaps the couple would stumble across the jewelry in the basement or someplace else where Alexandra didn’t remember where she walked when wearing the loose chain and pendant. One thing was for sure and that was that my client was confident that the crucifix did not end up in her clothes. Alexandra recounted with me that she carefully examined all of what she was wearing that day and the cross did not stick to or stay in any of what she was wearing at the time of the crucifix’s disappearance.

I was quite disappointed that I was not able to report good news to the couple regarding my search for the lost sentimental piece of jewelry. However, the two of them agreed to keep their eyes wide open just in case it might turn up over time. As soon as I completed my brief regarding Search Number One, I turned the page and began a new chapter with my second search at hand. Knowing all of the details that revolved around the lost platinum and diamond wedding band, I was pretty confident that I would recover the band. I made my way over to the living room couch where I had been earlier when looking for the pendant and immediately began inspecting the only suspected “scene of the crime”.

I just love searching for people’s lost property and especially this particular in-house recovery operation. I first got out my endoscope once more (which I had used earlier in various places where I needed to check any gaps and spaces where the crucifix could have slipped into and disappeared) and I placed my probe down into a narrow space at the top of the left sofa sectional piece. I wanted to see if the wedding band had made its way down inside that very narrow slit. This space that I am speaking about happened to be part of the sofa hardware that helped to connect the left portion of the couch to its right counterpart. It made the most sense that if Alexandra found her beloved engagement ring just near the edge of the left sectional (which was very close to that narrow opening), her precious wedding band probably had fallen down into that space when Bryan had first removed the left cushion and heard that “jingle” noise (as if the ring hit something as it was traveling out of sight).

As I maneuvered the endoscope lens every which way possible in order to view every square inch of that particular piece of furniture, I kept my eyes glued to my monitor screen just in case a curious target would come into sight. I must have checked that sectional for at least 10 minutes observing every corner and chamber, but it all checked out to be clear from what I was seeing on my monitor. If I did not find the ring in the next sectional, I was determined to return back to the previous piece of furniture and resume my search where I had first started to probe.

It was now time to take my investigation over to the second sectional piece that was to the right of the one that I had just checked out. This particular sofa piece was identical to its counterpart, except that its slit was positioned near the left edge where it was connected to the left sectional. Once again I placed the endoscope down into that narrow space and searched all of the same places that I had observed in the previous site next to it. At first everything seemed to check out perfectly with no sign of a piece of jewelry anywhere. It even started to make me wonder if perhaps I would not score on my second in-house search for the irreplaceable platinum and diamond wedding band. However, just as I was positioning the probe on a certain angle in a particular spot inside that second sectional piece, I saw on my monitor screen what appeared to be a thin sliver of metal that was wedged between some internal fabric of that particular piece of furniture. I did not want to get too excited at first because from my first vantage point it almost looked like it was the rim of a nickel or some other coin. I didn’t want to get overly optimistic, but this image on my screen definitely got my attention towards this particular object! After a few more tries of wielding the endoscope snake in such a way that I could get a better glimpse of what this target actually was, my eyes began to widen as I viewed on the monitor what appeared to be several diamonds inserted into this mysterious piece of metal! In fact, the more I twisted my endoscope cable to get a better fix on my target, the more round and baguette shaped diamonds could be seen encircling this most beautiful metallic “halo”! I had found the ring indeed! What a rush that was to behold such an amazing sight! There is really nothing like the experience of being able to search and then identify the missing piece of jewelry which could not previously be found by my bewildered and frustrated clients! It brings me so much joy to be able to return something that holds such emotion and sentimental worth that when I find something like this, it just sends me to the moon and back!

Now that I had located the gorgeous piece of platinum and diamonds, I was left with the task of carefully retrieving the missing item from its unique hiding place. The strategy I used was to place a hook on the end of my device and return to the spot where I had first discovered the object. Then, I would carefully attempt to grab a hold of a part of the band in order to extract it from the furniture’s dark inner chamber. I’m excited to share that within a few minutes of attempting this operation inside the right sectional, I was able to successfully grab ahold of Alexander’s wedding band and safely bring it up and out of the slit of the right sectional piece! The search was over! Yes, I successfully recovered Alexander’s most exquisite diamond wedding band! It really was a beautiful piece of art! Knowing how sentimentally priceless this symbol of love meant to the couple, I couldn’t wait to surprise Alexandra the moment that I called her upstairs (as she was working in the basement) to review what I had done thus far! When I did the reveal just minutes after finding the wedding band, uncontrollable emotion made its way down the sides of this young lady’s eyes as I held up the piece of platinum between my fingers! That one-of-a-kind ring which was originally placed upon Alexandra’s finger on the day of holy matrimony between she and Bryan was now finally on display once again!!

It was another amazing moment which never gets old for me when I get to return something as cherished as this back to the finger of my client! Alexandra and Bryan were so grateful for my work and expertise in recovering this lost item for them! Even though I was not able to find the crucifix, the three of us rejoiced and celebrated the success of finding the second lost item! Just looking at Alexander’s face, you could tell how relieved she was to finally get her diamond ring back on her left hand and move on from all of the distractions that had taken place over a week earlier!

Before I left, we took some pictures and then Bryan poured each of us a glass of “something special” and he made a toast to the successful recovery of Alexander’s most precious sentimental keepsake! What a wonderful time it was and I will never forget this extremely special couple who entrusted me with their irreplaceable “symbol of love”!

Finding a Lost Ring In the Snow in Calgary….After it melts

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)

Blaine called me on Christmas Eve’s eve. She had lost her ring while brushing the snow off her car in a heavy snowfall.  The next morning we met but alas the parking lot had been plowed. The good news, they piled the snow in one location. The bad news, they piled the snow in one location. After an initial check, I realized I would have to try again once the snow went down somewhat. Ninety days later, I checked a third time. This time the snow had melted enough that there was a chance. Sure enough, it was just on the surface. Watch the video for the results.

Lost Platinum with Black Diamonds & Blue Sapphires Wedding Band at Waikiki Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)


This ring find began when I got a call from Ray saying his husband Mike had lost his Platinum with Black Diamonds & Blue Sapphires Wedding Band in the dry sand on Waikiki Beach, just in from the Duke Kahanamoku Statue. They arrived from New York and were celebrating their one year Anniversary. I told Ray we could meet at the Waikiki Police Station and he could show me where on the beach to look. I arrived about 20 minutes later and we walked down to the beach area. To my surprise there was a 4 inch deep square box emptied of sand where they had been sifting the sand through a net in hopes of finding the ring. That had taken a few hours. Mike told me before he went in the water he wrapped his ring in a T-Shirt and when he returned he opened the shirt forgetting that moment the ring was inside, it fell out and disappeared somewhere in the sand. I asked Mike to draw a grid in the sand and essentially it was the 30 by 20 foot box where they had removed the sand. I started the search and on the first grid East & West I didn’t find the ring only a bullet casing and a few coins. I asked which direction I should extend the grid and they agreed towards a palm tree. I decided since there were no tourists in our area I should extend in every direction possible. I started the expanded grid North & South this time and on about the fifth pass I got a loud #16 on the Nox and in one scoop there was Mike’s unique ring in the scoop. It was actually out of the original grid and in the opposite direction of the palm tree. Sadly I thought, all that sand sifting from the wrong area. Regardless, Anniversary saved! Aloha to Mike & Ray.
