I have been detecting for many years and, now that I am retired and have more time, I joined The Ring Finders organization. Over the years, I have had the privilege of returning objects of monetary or sentimental value found while enjoying the hobby. However, often the owner of a randomly found item cannot be determined. Thanks to The Ring Finders site, I’m now have the chance to now use my experience and equipment to find and return a valuable lost item when the owner is known. I can be found on www.theringfinders.com if you need help in the Eau Claire area.
Gregg Larabel got a call for a lost ring and since he was unavailable he gave it to me. Chelsie had been working in her parents’ yard on Mother’s Day when she lost the ring, which she described as a silver metal heirloom handed down thru fiance Dylan’s family. She and Dylan met me at the house today to show me what she had been doing and where on the property. Chelsie was pretty sure about the specific area, but checking that area didn’t get me any silver signals from my metal detector. We checked other parts of the lawn and finally came back to the original spot so I could check ALL the signals there. When I got a tin foil signal, which is close to that of gold, I called Dylan over. He bent down and parted the grass and there was her ring. Turns out the ring is white gold instead of silver. Chelsie shed a tear or two and our day just got a little brighter. These moments never get old.
While searching an old volleyball site, I recovered a large gold college class ring. From the date and a partial name engraved on the inside, I was able, with the help of the university, to identify and locate the owner. On the telephone, the owner’s wife recalled her husband losing the ring playing volleyball 24 years earlier! Needless to say, he was as surprised as he was happy to get the ring back.

*** I received a call from Natalie in Long Beach, CA. She had lost her wedding ring in the backyard while pulling weeds. She had put the gold w/ diamonds ring in her back pocket. When she returned to the house the ring was not in her pocket.
I was able to meet her a few hours later. Natalie showed me the small backyard explaining that she had also had her cellphone in the same pocket as her wedding ring. Evidently the ring came out of her pocket when the she used the cellphone. This is not the first time I’ve heard this same story. It happens quite often because these cellphones have a lip that can drag loose items out of a pocket.
I started by checking the pile of weeds that had been pulled. Then I began the grid search of the 40’x 40’ lawn. It is an older piece of property with a lot of pieces of metal trash in the lawn. I usually search in all metal mode setting with my metal detector. This being a small yard I discriminated out the ferrous metals.
Halfway through the yard I had two similar signals very close to each other. One was a pull tab and the other was Natalie’s beautiful gold diamond wedding ring. It was another successful ring recovery. Natalie was very happy and relieved that she didn’t have to lose sleep worrying about if she could find her ring.

Yesterday late afternoon, I received a call from a young lady by the name of Virginia, she told me that she had lost her diamond ring that was a gift handed down from her great great grandmother. She went on to tell me that she rode her bike to the park to enjoy her lunch break, that’s where she lost her ring. Virginia told me she would be off work at 5:30 pm and would meet me at the park at 5:45 pm, I got there early to ensure I could find parking as it’s right beside a popular beach. I met Virginia at 5:45 pm and she went on to tell me the story of how she lost her ring, she had taken it off to apply suntan lotion to her self and place it on the towel that she was sitting on. You can imagine what happens next, it’s a very common thing for people to forget, stand up, and lift up the towel. She did not realize she had lost her ring until she got back to work a few hours later. She went back to search the area but cannot find it in the long grass and daisies not to mentioned that it’s very hard to locate the exact spot where she had the lunch.
She had taken some photos during lunch and showed it to me, we could tell there was daisies in front of her towel so I started my search and within 30 minutes I located her beautiful diamond ring that was buried beneath the grass. When people are not exactly sure where they may have lost the ring but having good idea it just takes time to slowly grid search and find it, because we know it is there somewhere.

I have the best job in the world and I love helping people more than anything I’ve ever done in my lifetime. I get to make people smile, I get to hear their stories of what their ring means to them, and how happy they are when I find it for them.
I had a guy to contact me several months ago about a high school class ring he had lost in 2005. He had since moved out of state up to Pennsylvania. This weekend being Mother’s day he was in town visiting family and had obtained permission from the current homeowners to do a search in the yard. So this has been several months in the making. He thought it was white gold, but wasn’t certain. I wasn’t sure what kind of signal I would get on my CTX, and I knew it would be several inches deep, so I was doomed to dig just about everything. I started up towards the house and worked my way down to the street, drawing my grid lines. I had been there about three hours and had dug a bag full of trash and modern coins. It’s slow going when you have to dig nearly everything. We had only about five feet of yard left before we got to the street when I got a signal that at first looked like trash. The CTX didn’t give me a VDI number, (I think there was trash very nearby), but I did have a consistent tone and a small tight target identification picture on the screen. Since it was consistent I dug it and out popped a ring that had been in the ground for 16 years. It was 3-4 inches deep, a little deeper than I thought it might be. Another happy ring owner!
Successful earring recovery on the beach! Tatiana found my listing and called on the evening of May 5, 2021 for a little help.
It’s special to her and fortunately she and her husband made great notes about where they were and what happened when it was lost. They were able to point me in the right direction in the dry sand near their sitting area.
I was so happy to see it in my scoop and now back where it belongs for more adventures. Cheers to a lovely couple!🥂
A beachgoer in Miami Florida contacted me early morning on May 12, 2021 to recover a diamond ring lost the night before. She was a wreck searching for the ring and couldn’t sleep. Fortunately, she kept track of her position on the beach and we met before sunrise on Haulover Beach in Miami, Florida, USA.
It was a quick search in the dry sand near the tide line and within about 15 minutes, the ring was found and returned to the owner just as the sun broke through the clouds at the horizon.
Beautiful morning and a great way to start the day for this young lady who thought fast, did a web search and found theringfinders.com!
It’s been a while since I’ve been contacted by someone in distress after losing something precious to them. That changed on Friday, May 7th when I received a call from Tim. He was out digging a trench to run electric to his shed when he realized his wedding band was missing. Here is how things went down in Tim’s own words.
« It was a Friday evening when I realized I lost my wedding band while digging a trench in my backyard earlier in the day. My first thought was to rush out and buy a metal detector. I did some quick research and realized I had no experience. I would be lucky to find anything. After doing some more internet searches, I found Ring Finders. At 9 o’clock at night I sent a text to Jim Wagner. Little did I know he was close by. He answered me right away and committed to showing up at my house at 7:30 the next morning. He told me that if the ring was outside, he would find it. True to his word, Jim was at my house at 7:30 with a smile and full of understanding. He started at one end of the trench and worked toward the other end while I nervously watched. He found my ring within 15 minutes. Jim is a talented individual and it was a pleasure meeting him. I can’t thank him enough. »

As Summer is nearing upon us all, People have finally made plans endeavored to simply have some fun in the sun here on San Diego’s sunny beaches.
This emergency TRF call I was contacted by recently was from a group of Texans visiting SoCal. Once again another short yet sweet recovery as they only had to wait around 5-10min for me to unearth it from the time of arrival. Not much too the story except they were all getting ready to leave for their flight back when I had a 911 call at 5:02p.m for HELP. Pictures of the lost wedding band and many smiles were taken at 5:46p.m….Along with a stop for gas & a coffee beforehand though!
Fortunately for those that need help here I live nearby and have ZERO things to hold me down from taking these calls at the drop of a hat…Not so many Detectorist’s or “Treasure hunters” out thar are available to do so.
