Claire’s Most Beautiful 1.33 Carat Diamond Stud Earring Recovered by Member of THE RING FINDERS, Brian Rudolph on Brookeville, Maryland Horse Farm

Claire and Her Friend Celebrate the Successful Return of the Lost 14 Karat White Gold 1.33 Carat Diamond Stud Earring that Metal Detectorist Brian Rudolph Recovered

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 woman named Claire who lost her 14 karat white gold 1.33 carat diamond stud earring that she received many years earlier from her husband as a 25th wedding anniversary. She was playing with her little granddaughter at a horse farm located in Brookeville, Maryland. During her visit to her friend’s equestrian property, Claire took some time to entertain her granddaughter by rolling down a hill in one of the fenced in pens. There was a lot of grass and it was the perfect spot to have some fun with the little one. Just as she was rolling down one particular area of the hill, Claire and her granddaughter had some kind of collision or had brushed into each in some way. She didn’t think much of it until a little bit later on, just as Claire was about to leave that section of the property, she realized that her earring was no longer on her earlobe. She was quite upset about the loss of such a sentimental gift from her husband that had represented a quarter of a century of bliss between the two of them. She wanted so very badly to get this priceless jewel back on her ear.

Upon recounting Claire’s time playing on that hill she believed that she may had lost her stud earring at the time of impact with her granddaughter. Claire marked that spot and her husband would end up renting a metal detector to attempt a recovery of the white gold diamond stud.

Believe it or not, after a long time of searching in the area that Claire had marked as the most potential spot where the earring may had come off of her, Claire’s husband was able to find the white gold backing that belonged to the earring. Just finding that one piece was a tremendous victory thus far because they could now confirm at least one location as to where the 1.33 carat diamond could have ended up. Claire’s spouse was so encouraged by his ability to find the backing that he continued to search for the jewel for at least a couple of more hours. Unfortunately, his continued efforts led to no avail. Eventually, he had to return the metal detector to the rental shop and Claire was extremely disappointed that they could not recover the lost keepsake.

When Claire contacted me, she explained that she diligently searched online for some type of answer to her problem regarding the lost earring. She wasn’t about to give up, and the moment she saw online an article about the elite international directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS. After reading some testimonials about some of my successful recoveries, she felt some hope of light at the end of that dark disappointing tunnel. The exciting part was that through the directory she was able to find me, Brian Rudolph, a metal detecting specialist who serves the Brookeville, Maryland area. Though Claire and her husband lived in Washington DC, she asked if I could meet her out on the horse farm to help the couple with the recovery of her 25th anniversary gift. I told her I was more than happy to attempt a search and recovery of the stud earring. I explained to her that I have certain techniques that I use to be quite successful with being able to return such small pieces of metal back to their rightful owners! She was thrilled to hear that I had such experience and couldn’t wait to meet me out on the horse farm the following day.

When I first arrived at the equestrian estate, I met up with the owner of the property and then Claire soon arrived shortly after. I began asking my client all kinds of questions regarding the possibility that perhaps she could have lost the earring somewhere else other than the place where the backing had been found. There are many instances where the backing comes off but the earring stays on the lobe for a much longer duration of time. Then, in that particular situation, it becomes nearly impossible to isolate the area where the stud dropped to the ground. The positive thing about this particular story was that Claire realized that the stud earring was missing from her ear sometime before she left that particular pen. This greatly encouraged me that her chances were much better at recovering the item knowing that I could simply grid search just that section of grass where she was playing with her granddaughter!

As we walked into the fenced in area where the earring disappeared, Claire gave me specific details as to where she was rolling down the hill with her beloved family member. There was a metal stake that was put in the ground exactly where the backing was discovered and so I had a very good reference point as to where the collision took place that may had caused the stud to fall out close by to where the backing was found.

Once I gathered up all of the facts that I needed, I returned to my car to retrieve some grid line cones along with my metal detector and other gear that would be necessary to utilize in my attempt to recover the earring. The first step that I took in this investigation that I was dealing with was to use my metal detector to scan over the basic section of territory where the backing was discovered. The reason that Claire’s husband was able to detect the backing was because there was more gold on that piece of the earring than what was on the stud setting itself. This is very common because the backing has more solid mass than the earring which has just the post and the cage holding the diamond.

During my time of scanning the grass in just the area where it was most likely that the earring fell off of Claire’s ear, I did not get any signals indicating that a small piece of metal was hiding in that region. Earlier on (as I failed to convey in this article) I tested Claire’s other diamond earring that matched the one that was missing just so I knew if it was possible to detect the one that was in the grass. A lot of times there is so little metal on the cage that it becomes impossible to pick up the jewel with even the finest of machines. In this particular case, there was enough white gold for me to effectively find the earring, but it all depended upon the angle in which it was lying, and whether or not it was pushed down into the dirt at the time of the initial first search.

After analyzing a good portion of property around the area where the backing was found I decided to put my detector aside for a while as I planned to get down on my hands and knees and begin searching the very spot where the backing was found with my handheld detector. This small device is called a pinpointer because it zeros-in on small to large targets when placed very close to where the metallic object is located. Once I removed the stake that marked where the backing was found, my hope was that the pinpointer would pick up the stud earring if I moved the device slowly and methodically against the ground until it hopefully would hit the white gold setting of the earring. To my biggest surprise, moments after I began this particular technique, the handheld detector sounded off and vibrated as I moved it over something that was made out of a small piece of metal! Once I identified the exact place where the hidden object rested below the many blades of grass before me, I began clearing the plant life so that I could eyeball what exactly I had picked up on my device. Just then, as I finished clearing some more of the grass out of the way, my eyes beheld the most beautiful diamond stud earring! It was right there lying on top of the dirt below all of the surrounding blades of green! I could not believe that I had just found the stud so very quickly! It was such an exhilarating experience because these little pieces of jewelry are not easily recoverable! It was almost surreal what was happening at that moment! Claire was not present when I discovered her anniversary treasure because she had gone inside the main house with her friend to indulge in a cup of coffee. Therefore, I was the only one out there on that lovely equestrian hill carrying within me the exciting secret that Claire would be getting her cherished little treasure back on her ear soon enough! It truly was a thrilling moment in time for me to recover something so small and yet so priceless! After getting up off of the terrain, I left everything just where it all was when I found the earring and then called Claire out to do the great reveal!

I would not be able to describe in this article just how excited and touched Claire was when I surprised her with her beautiful diamond earring! She too could not believe that I was able to recover this item from the lawn! In addition, she was blown away by how quickly I was able to accomplish this task and her gratitude for my services was way off the charts! My elated client could not stop thanking me and applauding my excellent work out there on that little hill! I too applauded the initial work that she and her husband did to mark the location of where the backing was found! I also commended Claire’s husband on his sleuth-filled efforts in finding the first piece of metal. All together it was a successful team effort and I will never forget how special it was to celebrate the return of this very sentimental piece of jewelry with Claire and her friend who owned the horse farm! The three of us had the best time celebrating and enjoying that surreal moment together! I’m pretty sure that with all of the excitement from my successful recovery that day, Claire was quite happy that she found THE RING FINDERS online and reached out to me to help her with this fantastic search project! Once again, another wonderful item recovery is documented into the annals of ring finding stories!

How to Metal Detect a Lost Gold Diamond Wedding Band in Springfield, Virginia Park…Found

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Kelly’s Beloved 14 Karat White Gold Wedding Band With Surrounding Diamonds Recovered by Member of THE RING FINDERS, Brian Rudolph

Dan and Kelly Rejoicing at the Amazing Search Results of the Return of Kelly’s Very Special Wedding Band!

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!
Ten plus years ago, Dan spent a lot of time picking out rings for his beloved future wife. He purchased the most special 14 karat white gold solitaire diamond engagement ring along with a 14 karat white gold wedding band with diamonds set around the band. He planned to pop the question to his girlfriend Kelly and present the first ring to her at that priceless moment. Before long, the couple was engaged and then the wedding day quickly came and went! Soon after, the children were born and life couldn’t be happier for this lovely family! Like with all love stories, there are some trials, disappointments and adversities that make their way into the timeline of life. On one particular cold day in Dan and Kelly’s Springfield, Virginia neighborhood, Kelly’s irreplaceable wedding ring went missing. She was devastated! Here is the story of what happened and what this couple did to successfully recover Kelly’s lost ring.

Kelly remembered having both her diamond wedding band and her diamond engagement ring on her finger when she left the house with her daughters that day. She vividly recalled taking a brief dog walk down a side street with the kids, said goodbye to Dan who drove off for a few hours while the group was taking their stroll together, returned back towards the house, grabbed the mail from the community mailbox, dropped off the mail inside their townhouse and then proceeded to walk a half block up the street to a neighborhood park to play.

Kelly was absolutely certain that she was wearing both rings when she left the house because her girls were ironically asking about her two special keepsakes. They were curious and wanted to play with them. Their mother explained to them that these pieces of jewelry were very special to her and were not to be played with.

All three ladies enjoyed their time at the park. First, they played on some jungle gym equipment that was located on the lower level of the recreational property. Next, Kelly walked up the hill and explored different places with the girls around the quaint and sweet environment. At some point, Kelly picked up some sticks to remove them from a certain area in the park and threw the dead branches into the woods. I believe the family then played tag and ran around the trees and tried to hide from each other. Then, the three started to entertain themselves with a time of “make believe” over by another area of the park. The girls constructed a makeshift fort over by a particular tree and Kelly helped her daughters gather some sticks and rocks to assist in building their imaginary creation.

After a couple of fun-filled hours had passed by, it was time for the three of them to return back to the house to prepare for the evening supper. At some point shortly after arriving back to the house, Kelly noticed that her wedding band was no longer on her finger! The engagement ring remained intact but her special marital keepsake was gone! Kelly was beyond devastated! She didn’t know what to do. She called Dan and let him know what had transpired and he too was uncertain as to how to handle the matter.

Upon Dan’s return home, after the children were tucked into bed, Kelly’s husband went to the park in search of the sentimental band. He used a flashlight to scan the ground but nothing turned up. The next day, the couple searched some more and before long, the whole community came out to assist in hunting for Kelly’s missing ring once word had gotten out about the matter on the neighborhood’s online forum. Perhaps twenty to thirty people took part in trying to solve this mystery and sadly, with all of their efforts to recover the diamond ring (using metal detectors and high lumen lights), it still was not found.

After three days of searching for the lost white gold band with diamonds, Dan and Kelly had exhausted all of their efforts. They were so afraid that someone had already picked up the ring because this little guy was nowhere to be found. It was at that point that Dan and Kelly were searching online for new ideas as to what to do next. That’s when THE RING FINDERS popped up! It’s an international directory of metal detecting specialists that are experts in finding lost rings! Immediately, Dan reached out to me, Brian Rudolph, and I was excited to take on the challenge!

The next day I arrived at Dan and Kelly’s house in Springfield, Virginia. I asked to be taken to all of the places where Kelly and the kids had walked and played several days earlier. Once we finished the tour (which started at their small lawn and ended up at the park) I had a good idea as to how to attack this project. Dan returned inside the house to do work while I gathered up my gear to begin the search.

The first step that I took in this investigation was to metal detect the front lawn of the house along with the sidewalk in front of their place and around the side of the townhouse which leads down the hill where the family had said goodbye to Dan that day. When there were no positive targets to check out, I metal detected around the community mailbox and unfortunately there was still no ring found.

The second leg of my adventure took place down the street at the park. I first started detecting on the wood chips where the playground equipment was located. I found a few miscellaneous coins and metal objects but not the item that I had hoped to find. Then, I detected the grass leading up the hill where Kelly had walked with the children, and still there was nothing found worth celebrating.

My third focus was to search all of the areas on top of the hill where Dan took me to show where Kelly had walked and hung out. I detected around the trees and did grid lines along the grass areas. There was a lot to cover. I scanned the spot where Kelly threw the sticks into the woods, and yet with all of those areas checked out, I still came away empty handed.

Next, I moved my way towards the section of the small park where Kelly and the kids made that little fort out of sticks. I kept hoping that that would be the place where Kelly must have lost her ring as she was using her hands a lot in that region of the park. Still, after working my way over and over again, back and forth, repeating my swings several times over, I wasn’t able to recover the sentimental jewelry.

After several hours of detecting since I began in front of Dan and Kelly’s house, I started to get emotionally weary and tired. I began to doubt that the band was lost in the park or that it may have been picked up by someone walking by days earlier. It was starting to get late in the afternoon by the time I finished searching most of the real estate at the top of the hill. At that point, there were only two sections left for me to metal detect. One area was perhaps about 30 feet from where the girls were building their fort. It was just on top of the hill under a tree but still a grassy spot to detect. I decided to scan the second possibility first which was a portion of hill that Dan had told me about. Kelly ran up and down that section of the hill with one of the girls during their fun time playing in the park.

Once I finished the six to eight grid line passes that I had made as I went up and down the hill with the detector, I could accurately count out yet another piece of property where the precious halo of diamonds was not lost. I now had only one more spot to check and that was that space at the top of the hill underneath the fairly large tree whose branches stretched over the hill a ways.

I began making a search pattern from the area where the make believe fort was built and moved in straight lines towards the grass that was located underneath the tree (approximately 15 feet away from the trunk). During my third pass, just as I detected a section of grass near the crest of the hill, I hit an unfamiliar target signal. It had been so long since I had gotten anything of interest and now finally a great signal was picked up in the headphones! I was truly hoping for the best as I knelt down to investigate what this object was. I knew it had to be a surface find just by the way the target sounded from my detector. Just as my handheld detector began to beep (indicating that the object was right under my portable machine) I immediately caught a glimpse as to what the item was that both detectors were picking up! It was a shiny silver-like color ring! I picked it up and immediately the diamonds began to talk to me with brilliance! I found it! I found the lost diamond wedding band that belonged to Kelly! She must have lost it while she was picking up sticks in that very spot as she was helping the girls build their imaginary fort! I couldn’t believe that I recovered the band knowing that I had almost no search area left in just a matter of minutes! I was so relieved and beyond excited to find the item that I was starting to think had not disappeared in the park or that someone had already picked it up and walked off with it! Frankly, I was in a state of shock because it had been so long since I started searching down the street and nothing had turned up until that very moment when my detector began to “sing” that beautiful melody that I love to hear when searching for lost rings!

Knowing that my search was finally over and that I could soon reveal the good news with Kelly and Dan, there was such a feeling of rejuvenation and restoration of energy that made its way through me! I couldn’t have felt happier for Kelly at that moment in time!

Early that evening, I surprised the family with the return of Kelly’s beloved wedding band and they were beyond blown away with happiness and disbelief! I even shared with them that there were people walking back-and-forth around the park during my search and they too had no luck finding the ring. Doubt began to set in with those people as well because it had been so many days and nobody could find the precious jewel (including myself for those many first tough hours out there)!

I was so excited for the couple and the children were also thrilled at what I was able to accomplish for Kelly. A special story that was connected with that wedding band was preserved for many years to come! Four grand smiles returned to the faces of that family and many thanks and words of appreciation continued to come my way in the days that followed.

Kelly and Dan still could not believe that what was lost out there in the park for so many days was actually found by one determined Ring Finder! They figured that with so many people looking for Kelly’s sentimental keepsake, it most likely was gone forever. Well, I was so proud to be that one to bring that special little treasure back home to Kelly’s ring finger! What a day that was!

November 2021 Carolyn contacted me sharing her story of how she had just become engaged to her fiancé when the unthinkable happened. Just a few days later her newly received loose fitting precious rose gold moss agate diamond engagement ring had gone missing. She explained that she had place the ring on her finger while sorting some Christmas decorations in her home and the ring actually fell of her finger onto a front room table. At this point her gut told her she should put it up in a safe place until she could have it sized by a jeweler. However the excitement and meaning of the ring over came her and she put it back on her finger anyway thinking this was most likely not the best idea. She continued working on Christmas decorations in her home for quite a while. She used her hands quite a bit placing ornaments and a new string of Christmas lights inside a special Christmas pig for her front yard. The time came when she went out side where she had strung some lights on a tree, placed the Christmas pig in the front yard and set some other Christmas lights throughout her landscaping. After this she went inside and organized a few boxes and bags full of holiday items. She also remembered accessing her back yard to secure her chicken coop for the night. Quite a few things were very concerning to her as her ring is one of a thiner dainty sized ring making it easy to hide in so many places. 

Of course I agreed to assist Carolyn and reassured her over our initial phone conversation. I reminded her in her situation it was good that she had not left the residence and they still had all of their household garbage. So for all practical reasoning her ring had to be some place on the premise and I would do all I could to recover her newly received engagement ring. After I showed up Carolyn’s fiancé took there dog for a walk so that distraction would not be an issue. Carolyn, with great detail, shared all the places and activities she had done must prior to loosing her ring. After a short time searching I was able to recover her ring in pristine condition.

Lost White Gold and Silver Bridal Set Rings with Diamonds Found in Jackson Michigan

Sentimental Heirlooms…..

……As Abbie was unloading groceries from her vehicle the other night one of the bags broke. As she was picking up the contents, her soldered wedding rings came off. Frantically looking in the dark with her husband brought no luck. The next morning another search commenced with the same result. The rings have been passed down thru the family for many generations and irreplaceable. On site there was about 3 inches of snow, along with compacted snow from her prior searches and the vehicle being moved. A quick turn on and go with my MXT metal detector had me searching quickly. I was looking for a white gold signal on the MXT meter and running out of searchable real estate I got a higher read than usual. Pulling the depth switch it read 0/1 inch deep. I got out my pin pointer and got a signal, and under a shoeprint, compressed under the snow her beautiful rings came to light! I waved for Abbie to come over and she excitedly asked if I found it. She reached down, lifted it from the snow and began the thawing process. Once dried, I looked at it with my loupe magnifier and discovered one of the rings was white gold and the other sterling silver!… which explained the unusually high meter read and something Abbie didn’t know. With that information she was even more fascinated and wanted to find out more about the rings, and with her daughter in arms the lil one was reinforcing the well kept promise for now and to come.

One-Month Old Wedding Ring Found – Lake Mills, Wisconsin

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Winter-driving conditions here in Wisconsin, USA can be challenging at times. Lake Mills, resident, Nick Nienas experienced this first hand around mid-day on January 28 when he attempted to navigate a snow-covered driveway entrance. As it turned out, the road was not where he thought it was and the front wheels of his car sank into the crusty snow leaving Nick’s vehicle high and dry in the ditch. Despite his best efforts to dig his car out, it was the kindness of a passerby that finally got him back on the road. However, in the process of excavating through the snow, Nick felt his one-month old, 10K gold wedding ring fly off his hand!

« Four out of ten married men in America will lose their wedding bands, » says Chris Turner, CEO of The Ring Finders, citing a survey done years ago by RingSafe.com, which sells a ring accessory. « That’s just the men — not including women. So, the number of rings being lost is unbelievable. »

Nick was only married four weeks! Now he was a statistic. He couldn’t believe his precious love token was gone! It had seemingly vanished into the whiteness.

Once his car was safely back on the road, Nick went back and combed frantically through the snow with his hands. The ring was nowhere to be found. He even made a trip to a local hardware store and purchased a metal detector. But the detector proved futile when it kept sounding off erratically. After a long, cold and disheartening afternoon Nick was at his wits end. Then he discovered The Ring Finders directory of metal detecting specialists and telephoned me about 7:30 pm. I could hear the desperation in Nick’s voice.

Immediately, I drove the half hour to Lake Mills and met Nick at a local service station. Following him out into the countryside we arrived at the location and surveyed the ditch. It looked like a war zone with its craters and evidence of digging. It was also cold, 10 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 12 Celsius) and a very dark night.

When I turned my equipment on, buried electrical cables instantly made their presence known in the form of what detectorists refer to as EI (electromagnetic interference). Little wonder Nick’s detector was futile in such a challenging situation. From experience I was able to make appropriate adjustments using my XP Deus high-frequency equipment. The search didn’t take long, only 10 minutes at the most. The clear, unmistakable tone of 10K Gold invited investigation into the now hardened, crusty snow. A detecting probe helped pinpoint the exact hiding place of Nick’s ring. The warmth of the ring had caused it to melt down some 8” into the snowbank where it landed. And it was still pristine, with hardly a scratch.

So glad to have found your ring, Nick! May its story and your marriage continue for many, many blessed years to come. While you are now a 4 out of 10 statistic you can be comforted in knowing you are also included in the approximate 80% of clients I’ve successfully helped to recover their lost rings!

Lost Gold Diamond Family Heirloom Ring on Washington DC Lawn…Found by Ring Finder

Ashley’s Sentimental Family Heirloom Ring Found by Member of THE RING FINDERS, Brian Rudolph

Ashley Excitedly Shows Off Her 14 Karat White and Yellow Gold with Diamonds Family Heirloom Ring Recovered by Brian Rudolph After Missing for Over a Week!

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 Ashley who lost her 14 karat white and yellow gold diamond family heirloom ring. It had been missing outside for over a week. She and her girlfriend were hanging out on the Ashley’s side lawn of her Washington DC row house when her beloved keepsake that had been passed down the family line from her grandfather, grandmother, mother and then to Ashley went missing somewhere on the property. Ashley shared with me that she was playing with the ring in her hand when it slipped from between her fingers and landed somewhere on the ground. The two friends searched for hours on their hands and knees with much confidence that they would eventually find the precious jewel. However, as it turned out, all of their efforts led to no avail.

Sometime later that evening, as Ashley was searching online for answers to her problem, she came across the elite international directory of metal detecting specialists called THE RING FINDERS. She did not realize that such people existed and immediately contacted me to inquire about my services. I told Ashley that I am constantly doing search and recovery operations and that I was happy to help her in any way possible. She decided to go forward with my help the following day and I could not wait to try to solve this particular mystery.

The next morning, I headed out for Washington DC to an area called Mount Pleasant. Once I arrived, Ashley guided me over to a very narrow area of grass where she had been sitting on a café-type table with her friend over a week earlier. The section of real estate was so small that I couldn’t believe that Ashley had not already found her precious heirloom.

Next, my client reenacted the whole event and I personally couldn’t figure out why Ashley and her friend were unable to locate the piece of gold and diamonds. It seemed so simple. My best guess at the time was that the family heirloom must have flung in an unlikely direction, far enough away from the table so that the two ladies just didn’t look outside the box far enough. Yet, the young lady said that she didn’t remember doing anything with her hand that would cause the ring to be hurled off her finger. I did ask if the ladies had been drinking out at that table and Ashley did share openly that she had a couple of beers. Sometimes in dealing with ring searches like this one, two beers could make a difference depending on how the alcohol affected that particular individual. In some situations, the client remembers a certain amount of alcohol consumed when the actual amount was really a whole lot more. You never can tell and so when you can’t easily find the item, your mind starts to wonder how much of the story was left out due to being under the influence.

From the description that Ashley had given to me over the phone, I was perplexed by the whole mystery because this particular ring was fairly large in size. It would not have disappeared that easily. Ashley described the ring as being a men’s style band that was wide and heavy. It was mainly white gold with yellow gold accents along the rims and within its inner band. There were stars all around it with little diamonds in the middle of the stars. It really sounded quite lovely! This ring meant the world to Ashley and it broke her heart that something as simple as playing with it on her finger could end up causing the ring to disappear into seemingly thin air!

The Search Site Where Detectorist Rudolph Recovered the Precious Ring

After I got the rundown about where Ashley sat and what had taken place, I began my search using my metal detector throughout the area where Ashley and her friend were sitting. There was mainly dirt with no grass in that search zone where the table was located. Therefore, it was pretty obvious where the eye would not have missed it. I checked a garden bed behind where she was sitting as well as locations along the side of the house. Nothing of importance was found and as time marched on I was getting more curious as to what could have happened with this ring. One of the last places I detected was closer to the wrought iron fence that overlooked the side of the property towards the Washington DC street. I moved a metal frame out of the way (which was the base for a hammock) and again I swung my coil over the ground and yet still nothing turned up.

I tried everything to recover this ring and still there were no substantial targets found except a bottle cap or two, a pull tab from a can and some other miscellaneous items discovered during the search. I even got down on my hands and knees and used my handheld detector in several places in order to work around metal infested sections of the property where I could not use my regular machine. Once again, I came away with no ring.

When nothing turned up, I stopped my search for a moment and rethought the whole event. I recounted in my head what Ashley’s recollection was of what happened a week earlier.  When I couldn’t find the heirloom anywhere, I realized that perhaps I was thinking too far outside of the box of possibilities. I also adjusted my detector which may not have been set properly for this type of ring search. Also, I thought that perhaps it was possible that I had missed the ring right from under my nose when I had been detecting at the beginning of the search near where the table was situated. I then resumed the investigation with a fresh perspective and a focused attack plan.

My new strategy was to metal detect over and around the same patches of dirt where I had initially began my search. I started scanning the area about three feet away from where the table originally sat.  Almost immediately I hit a fairly good signal with the exception of a scratchy tone that made the target appear to be more iron based rather than a precious metal. I really didn’t think the object could have been the ring because I was looking for a surface find, not an item completely buried below the ground.

Though I was pretty certain that the target below was not what I was looking for, it truly got me curious as to what this object actually was and so I started to carefully dig the object up with my hand digger. Just as I brought the chunky piece of metal out of the ground, the mystery began to be unraveled little by little! I caught a glimpse of a smooth rounded shape, then I saw stars engraved into the side of the object. Next, I observed some sparkles coming from what appeared to be a men’s ring! Finally, as I cleared off the rest of the dirt from the silver-like halo, there before me was the very culprit that I had been searching for for the past hour or so! It had been completely buried in the ground! I concluded that because it was completely dark outside at the time of the ring’s disappearance, Ashley must have gotten up out of her chair and had accidentally stepped on the ring. This caused it to completely disappear beneath the soft dirt where the eye would not have had a chance to spot even a glimpse of the piece of metal! Ashley’s simple account of her fidgeting with the ring without any force to cause the ring to go very far from the table, perfectly matched up with where I actually found the heirloom!

It all made perfect sense once I extracted the handsome band from below the dirt! I then realized where my obstacles existed in dealing with finding this piece of jewelry. First, my detector was incorrectly set at the time. Secondly, the ring was buried on a particular angle which made it more difficult to accurately assess the iron-like scratchiness sound that I was hearing in my headphones coming from the target. Thirdly, I wasn’t anticipating the possibility that the ring could have been fully pushed down into the ground where no metal was exposed at all! I learned a valuable lesson (even as a seasoned metal detectorist). Though I have had several searches where the item was recently lost and then found below the earth due to a shoe or foot that had pushed the jewelry down into the ground, I have at least been able to still see a slight “halo” of the ring peeking through. This particular search was definitely a first for me!

I was so happy for Ashley and I couldn’t wait to do the reveal! When I surprised her I could see her countenance light up with an expression of happiness and also great relief! Her beloved family heirloom had returned to her finger once more and she was so grateful that I could help solve this simple but yet seemingly more complicated mystery!

I truly love what I do for people like Ashley and returning rings and other cherished items is such a fulfilling and thrilling experience for me every time!

Here’s another story of a lost ring recovered recently outside of a house hidden amongst plants and bushes in Poway S.D.  Some of these searches usually can be found in just minutes,Hours or even days of scanning around with a metal detector.

This search was none of the above^.  I spent about 30 seconds adjusting the many metal detector settings to the noisy E.M.I  before placing my detector coil over the soil to start the search when it beeped…There it was…Boom!   The husband & wife were instantly thrilled especially after spending some time looking around for this precious ring..They even borrowed a metal detector a day before but the EMI renders metal detectors useless as they beep everywhere on everything like it started to on me,Good grief I’m glad I spent countless years on these detecting machines I bring.

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Shawn SGT Sherrill – Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Call/Text ASAP  Anytime 24/7   918-313-2202

After finding my previous ring that was lost for 15 years, a friend of that person’s saw his post and posted that they wanted me to try to find his. I reached out to them and found out his lost ring was lost for over 15 years. This time it was a NC STATE college class ring. Ed lost it while mowing and throwing limbs into the wooded areas. It took me four hours to find it after searching on the opposite side most of the morning. I finally got a VDI 68 range that wasn’t a piece of aluminum or a bullet casing. I had finally found it after an exhausting four hours of intense searching and dedication of moving leaves and limbs in one area. I was driven, persistent and determined to find his ring. He was 100% certain it was out there. I couldn’t give up, I just had to keep swinging, until it was found.

Lost thrown ring, Orlando, Florida…..found and mailed to owner!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:




This young couple was enjoying a night on the town and decided to call an Uber to help them get safely back to their hotel. Their ride dropped them off a few hundred yards from their hotel and as they walked they talked!! I am not exactly sure what the topic of conversation was but I do know that during their walk along the quiet street Mr. John Doe got very upset and took off his wedding ring and with a back handed throw sent his ring sailing into the street and the ping could be heard and then silence!

It didn’t take long for Mr John Doe to realize the error of his way and later that evening he returned with his phone and tried desperately to find his ring. But after a couple of hours of searching the street, the grass and even in the bushes he decided to look online for some help and typed in « Metal Detecting Service Orlando »! The first result was « Theringfinders.com » and as he checked out the « Directory » he noticed my name and all the successful recoveries and decided to give me a call. So we met later that day and « John » showed me where he thought he was when he threw his ring. At first I thought that it would be a fairly easy search but an hour and a half later I was beginning to have second thoughts. I expanded the search area by 30 feet on either side and still no ring. It was getting late and « John » was planning on starting their drive north that same day…so I assured him that I would come back later in the week to look some more. He was very happy to hear that and then we parted ways.

The next weekend I returned and decided to look even further along the street, searching the bushes and the 8 foot grass strip along the street. At one point I was a good 45 yards away from the area where « John » said he threw his ring and while I was swinging my detector along the curb and over onto the grass, I glanced out onto the street and low and behold there was the young man’s ring…just laying in the street. I could not believe my eyes and was so, so thankful to see it just sitting there untouched and not a scratch on it. I made a quick little video with my phone and sent it to the owner and he was thrilled that I actually found it! And a couple of days later it was mailed off to « John » and so the story continues!

Lost your ring, or something valuable? Call or text me ASAP!

Mike McInroe….here to help you!
