Lost Silver Promise Ring In San Antonio, Texas (FOUND)

  • from Auburn (Alabama, United States)

I received a text from Omar Fiscol on the morning of 9/25/18 stating that his girlfriend had lost her silver promise ring in the front yard the day before. Work was a bit slow for me so I left at 11am to get my gear and go to his house. He wasn’t there but I had a good idea of where to search based on what he told me. I was half way through my second pass in the small front yard and got a solid signal. Covered up by thick grass was the ring. They were reunited with  the ring a few days later. And the story for this young couple continues.

Lost Wedding Ring In Seguin, Texas (FOUND)

  • from Auburn (Alabama, United States)

This was a search and recovery that was 24 days in the making. I received a text on Sept. 5 from Luis Reyes in Seguin, Texas. He stated that his wife, Diana, had lost her wedding band and  they were confident that it was in the front yard. The loss actually had occurred on August 19 just as they were leaving on vacation and they didn’t realize it until after they had left. After they returned they both did an extensive search of the car, house and yard. After retracing their steps of the day they left they decided that they had to be in the front yard. Eventually Luis was able to locate the engagement ring but the wedding ring was still missing. Luis found The Ring Finders online and contacted Greg DeLong. Greg was unable to take the search and referred Luis to me. Because of multiple things going on it wasn’t until today, 9/29/18, that I was able to come to his house. Since the rings were a matched set I was able to test the engagement ring for the signal I needed for the wedding  ring. Less than 5 minutes into the search I found it. Both of them were very happy for the return and equally surprised by how fast it was found. So very happy that this story can continue. A shout out to Greg DeLong of The Ring Finders, thanks for the referral buddy.

Lost ring found and returned from private beach in Chatham

  • from Orleans (Massachusetts, United States)

around 6pm I was loading my scuba tanks in to my vehicle that were just filled, when a call came in with the caller ID of Chatham tides motel. I answered and the man I was talking to was the manger of the motel who said that while fishing a couple hours before calling me he had caught a blue fish and released it back in to the water, while shaking the sand off his hands his ring came off and hit the sand with out a mark. I told him I could be there in about 20 minutes, upon arrival he showed me the area which was about 5’x5’ and a few swings later I had a solid signal which turned out to be his ring. I think it took longer to walk the 100 feet to the beach then to recover the ring.

When Cindy and her family went to Ponce Beach in San Clemente on a Sunday afternoon, Cindy put her rose gold wedding ring set in the pocket of her shorts for safekeeping. After returning home that afternoon she discovered the rings were not in her shorts pocket.

Her and the family returned to the beach later that evening attempting to find the rings in the sand. There were several places that the rings could have fallen out of the pocket but the most likely was at the beach where she had taken off her shorts to go swimming.

Monday afternoon Cindy contacted me, asking for help. She said that either her husband or herself could meet me the next morning to show me the location. After discussing the location, I felt I could go by myself with the screen shot photo Cindy had marked and sent to my phone. I know how difficult it is for a mother with two young children to leave the house and why should her husband lose part of a days work. Time is important especially in public places.

Ponce Beach is about 20 miles drive for me and I was there an hour after talking to Cindy. Walking to the marked location she had given me, I could see finger drag marks in the sand. It only took a short time to find the two beautiful rings. We were lucky that this beach doesn’t have daily beach sifting machines. Also, that the rings were hiding in sand and not in plain site in the parking lot.  I was able to call Cindy and I drove closer to where they live to return the rings that same evening.

AUZZIE LOSES ENGAGEMENT RING OFF DOCK PARRY SOUND, ON

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)

Received a text and subsequent telephone call from Holly and Australian Sheila. Holly has been visiting Ontario to help a dear Friend going through brain cancer. Previous weekend they were at a cottage on Rankin Lake in the beautiful Parry Sound area. Holly had taken both her engagement ring and wedding band off and tied them on her hair elastic then wrapping them around her cell phone. She picked up two oars and before she knew it saw them fling off her cell phone onto the deck. She found her wedding band on the dock but could not locate her white gold engagement ring.

Holly called a number of « ring finders » in a panic and took the first one available out of the Barrie area. Unfortunately, her engagement ring could not be located. She was again in a panic mode as she was heading home to Australia in a weeks time. Holly was extremely upset she called me again. We had made a last minute plan but had to cancel with the severe weather and tornado in eastern Ontario and Quebec with heavy damages. Upon speaking again mid-morning she had mentioned her return home and was desperate. I then finished packing my truck and said « LETS DO THIS – BE THERE IN 3 HOURS ».

We arrived at the cottage location, brought all the gear down and I proceeded to do a short grid from 4′ out from dock in and under. I decided not to do the area under the deck with a rock crib which is very difficult even though I also brought along my Detecnix pin pointer for that spot. Closer I was to shore after 10 minutes with 2 pull tabs, then a nail….there was the strong distinctive tone on the Minelab Excalibur 2!!! At this point I had a snorkel mask on without the snorkel as I left it in my truck. Holly was heading up to my truck to retrieve the snorkel and I said « wait a minute »…

After a few handfuls there was her beautiful engagement ring!! B=I=N=G=O!!

Here’s the video *******

We were both excited. She really didn’t think I was going to find it but she flies home a very happy lady.

I didn’t accept a reward for my « Pay-it-Forward » campaign for a charity donation (Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation) because I consider Holly an « EARTH ANGEL » for being here for a month looking after her dear Friend with cancer. I will Pray for her Friend!!! I was given an invitation if I ever head to the « LAND DOWN UNDER »….Sure going to consider that offer!!

I have already advised Holly of another awesome ring finder in Australia « Jean Williams »!!

Great to meet ya Shiela « Holly »!! Cheers and safe travels back home!!

  

Unique 2 Generations of Rings Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned in North Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

Kevin called me at 10 a.m. this morning saying he had lost his gold wedding band the day before and wanted to know if I could help find it. He went on to say that this ring was extremely sentimental to him as he had taken his grandfather’s wedding band and his father’s wedding band and melded them together to make one ring, his. This ring’s story had a long history attached to it and needed to be found. I asked him what time he lost it and how deep he was in the ocean. He replied, “3 p.m. and about belly deep.” Knowing the tide tables, this was right at mid-tide. So, depending on how much sand was on the beach, I’m thinking his ring should be buried very close to the low-tide line. I had a few things to do, and low tide wasn’t for a couple of hours so I told Kevin I’d be there around 11:30ish.

When I got to the beach, I texted Kevin saying, I’m here and stood around scoping out the conditions. It wasn’t long before Kevin and his wife, Suzanne, showed up, and Kevin started pointing out the suspected area. I thought my best hope was an east/west grid search, going from the wet sand to roughly waist deep water. Kevin didn’t know exactly where the ring had come off and mentioned that he had drifted both north and south. So I wanted to extend the search area taking advantage of the low tide. I had my White’s PI, which meant I was digging every piece of wire, bottle cap, and pull tab; and wasting a lot of time digging junk. I was on my 6th or 7th line and hit a great signal, dug it, and unfortunately, it was another bottle cap, a quick cuss word and I moved on. Within about 6 inches, I had another strong signal, thinking I had yet one more bottle cap to add to my collection, I dug the target. As I spread out the sand with my foot, I see this round thing peeking up through the sand and shells. Didn’t look like a bottle cap, reached down to pick it up and my finger went through the middle of it – BAM!!! I was holding this beautiful ring. I instantly knew it was Kevin’s from his description. I nonchalantly washed the sand off his ring in ankle deep water, grabbed my scoop and started walking back up the beach. I slipped his ring on my index finger to hide it from view until the right moment. At the same time, Kevin was walking down the beach towards me and asked, “Tell me.” I said, ‘Tell you what.” He replied, “Tell me you found my ring.” I held my hand up with the ring on my finger and said, “I don’t know, you tell me.” He yelled out, “Oh My GOD,” put both hands over his face, and was totally overwhelmed. Suzanne came running up the beach from the surf, with tears in her eyes. Many, many hugs and thank yous. This is the reason I do this. Total search time was just over an hour. 

Kevin and Suzanne, thank you so much for trusting me to help find your lost treasure! Have a safe trip back home.

Lisa and her friends had taken their you kids to Balboa Island for a few hours at the beach. There are several small beaches on the inter bay where the water is free of waves and it is not windy.

The children were getting tired after a few hours, so they prepared to return home. That’s when Lisa realized her platinum and diamond wedding ring was missing from her finger. It had to be in the dry sand because she had not been in the water. Everyone searched for the ring with no success. 

It was getting frustrating with the kids getting tired and hungry. Lisa called her husband, Ryan. He was at work where he couldn’t leave so he went online where he found my contact information. I was in my car with  my detectors when he called. It was a coincidence that I was less than a mile from where Lisa was waiting for help to find her precious wedding ring.

We met and it was a matter of a few minutes till my metal detector was able to locate her ring. I have a lot of respect for mothers of young children. It was a pleasure to help Lisa find her ring and get on her way to get the kids home for their lunch and afternoon nap.

Lisa was a little camera shy so I got to pose for photo with the ring for the book of smiles.

Sharkea, a military vet, decided to retire here in Florida. She has been living here almost a year and is getting settled in with a young baby and on top of that a brand new baby puppy. She decided to give the puppy a bath out on the grass in the side yard. She lathered the pup up with soap and rinsed him off. As she was drying him off she noticed that her wedding ring was missing. She search all around the area but could not find it. Later that evening she and her husband searched again with no luck. Sharkea found the Ring Finders the next day and contacted Tom Jones. Tom requested volunteers and Mike Miller agreed to go. Mike spent a few minutes in the area before finding the ring buried under the grass. Needless to say Sharkea was overjoyed to have her ring back.
