Wedding Ring Lost in Harpeth River Found With Metal Detector

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

 

Jeff and his wife were enjoying the cool water of the Harpeth River in beautiful Leiper’s Fork, TN on June 20th when he lost his gold wedding band. They spent hours looking under rocks in the shallow river, which luckily was only six to ten inches deep in that area. Unable to find his ring, a family member of his looked on the internet and found my info on TheRingFinders directory. When Jeff contacted me I was in TX, but I assured him that based on what he told me, it was likely that the ring was nestled down in the rocks and probably even covered in silt from the flowing water, making it even more difficult to find. With Jeff’s hectic work schedule and me being out of town, we aimed for the search to be done today on June 28th. This search was the first of three searches on this day.

We met at the small winery along the river at 10:30 am. The business hadn’t opened yet however there were still about ten people seated in chairs in the shallow spots, enjoying the shade. A nice couple moved their chairs after Jeff mentioned why we were there. As the growing crowd of onlookers watched I continued my search for Jeff’s ring. After a few non-target items like pocket change and pull tabs were detected and removed from the river, I got another signal. Jeff was watching eagerly when I pulled the ring out from under some rocks and asked, “Does it look anything like this?” Everyone was cheering and clapping for Jeff. The pictures don’t do any justice to the river, but in my opinion it was the smiles on Jeff and his wife’s face that meant the most to me.

Wedding Ring Lost for Two Weeks Found With Metal Detector

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

 

Elia contacted me a week ago regarding her wedding ring being lost in her back yard a week prior. She had handed the ring to her husband when she went swimming and he put the ring in his shorts pocket. He later pulled some car keys from the same pocket and the ring apparently fell somewhere in the yard. Elia’s husband bought a metal detector and tried finding the ring himself, only to become frustrated. When our schedules were aligned I met with Elia and her husband on 06-28-2026. The back yard was expansive, but Elia’s husband showed me the areas where the ring was most likely lost. About 30 minutes into my grid search I got the tone that I was hoping for. Elias’s beautiful ring was concealed deep in the grass, not visible to the naked eye from any angle. Elia and her husband were elated, and I was quite happy myself. Eliza’s husband had already looked into replacing the ring and was shocked when he’d seen how much the price of gold had gone up. This was my second successful ring search on this day.

Wedding ring lost in swimming pool, Orlando Florida recovered by Mike McInroe Florida Ring Finder.

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



I received a late night call from Raymond asking if I would possibly be able to help him find his lost wedding ring on the bottom of a rather large swimming pool in a downtown Orlando Hotel. It was late at night but I asked if he was sure that he lost it in the pool and if he could get permission for me to conduct a scuba dive after hours! If he said yes to those two questions then I would agree to make the drive down and help him out. He called back right away and said yes to those two questions…so about 11:30pm I packed up my gear and drove down to meet Raymond and his wife who were anxiously awaiting me at the front desk. It was the perfect dive scenario so I set up my BLU3 NEMO Portable Dive System, donned my wet suit, my fins, mask, weight belt and grabbed my underwater dive light and entered the pool at the shallow end and swam along the bottom scanning my powerful light just an inch or so off of the bottom and slowly covered the whole pool. And then right in the darkest corner of the deepest end I saw a glint of gold and swam towards it hoping that it was Raymonds lost wedding ring and sure enough! Turned out to be a really easy and enjoyable search and recovery and even though I got home super late…it was a real pleasure to be able to help Raymond and his wife!

Have you lost something and need a ring finders help? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk.

Heirloom Ring Lost in Nashville TN Found With a Metal Detector

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Over 200 years this silver Claddagh ring has been in Andrew’s family, passed down from generation to generation. So when Andrew lost the ring while giving his Saint Bernard a bath in the back yard of his Nashville, TN home, he was terrified to say the least. He searched the internet on how to find a lost ring, then realized that the best option was to find an experienced metal detectorist. He found my profile on TheRingFinders website and sent me a text message. I made the short 25 minute drive to his home for what would be my third ring search of the day. In no time at all I had located the ring deep in the lush green grass with my metal detector. The history of this family heirloom ring is awesome and I am honored to be trusted to find it so it can keep the story going.

Family Heirlooms lost in Fire

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

When Brittany’s house burned to the ground, she lost nearly everything. Among the devastation were priceless family heirlooms and treasured jewelry that could never truly be replaced. Hoping that something had survived, she reached out to me through The Ring Finders for help.

When I arrived, Brittany showed me where she believed her jewelry had been before the fire. The home was reduced to ashes, twisted metal, and debris, so every scoop had to be carefully sifted by hand.

After a patient search through the rubble, hope turned into success. I recovered three sets of earrings, her ring, a bracelet, and a necklace. Seeing those cherished family pieces emerge from the ashes made all the hard work worthwhile.

There are still a few items missing, but the search isn’t over. I’ll be returning another day to continue looking in hopes of recovering the remaining family treasures.

Even after a devastating fire, it’s amazing what can survive. Recovering sentimental items like these is about so much more than finding jewelry—it’s about helping someone reclaim a small piece of what they thought was lost forever.

Lost wedding ring found! Lake Nagawicka, Delafield, Wisconsin.

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

A pedal-boat ride ended on a frantic note when Delafield, Wisconsin resident, Peggy Roberts, waved at friends passing by. That was when the unthinkable happened.

Peggy’s normally-tight-fitting wedding ring of 40 years, flew off her hand and disappeared into the channel in front of their picturesque home. Peggy’s daughter quickly jumped into the chest-deep water to mark the spot. Meanwhile, Mark, Peggy’s husband assembled a buoy system by tying a brick and milk jug together. Dropping it into the water provided an invaluable reference point for the search to come.

Peggy located me on the Ring Finders directory of metal-detecting specialists. I received a text from her explaining the situation. What stood out most was, “Bottom is thick silt.” I knew from experience the “thick silt” is what I fondly call, “Wisconsin Pudding.” The « pudding » can vary in depth from a foot to several feet in places. Locating and recovering a ring in such circumstances can be very challenging. However, since the Robert’s daughter had been able to stand in the water and mark the spot, this offered hope. We agreed to meet on location the next day.

When I arrived, I quickly spotted the marker buoys out in the channel. Getting there with my gear was a challenge in the chest-deep water and knee-high silt. Three hours later, however, I still had not found the ring. The channel was full of metallic debris. Ferreting out a small wedding ring in those circumstances tested my recovery skills to their limits. That’s when Mark appeared on the family’s dock and quickly noticed the buoys had moved about ten feet! Channel currents, wind, and wakes from passing boats had slowly shifted the markers from their original position. Armed with this fresh information, I moved into the original area and soon heard a promising signal in my headset. Several scoops of silt later, Peggy’s love token lay nestled in the scoop amongst shells and aquatic plants. And the smile on the Robert’s faces tell the rest of the story!

If you or someone you know has lost a ring, even in ‘Wisconsin Pudding,’ don’t let its story end. Call me or a member of the Ring Finders near you. We would love to add your smile to our growing list of overjoyed clients.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Kim called me that she was on her patio with her ring off, her young son picked it up and threw it over the fence into the field behind.  » Aren`t  little boys wonderful?’  I respond right away and met her on the other side of her fence, wouldn`t you know there was a thorny bush at the location. Kim said she searched all around and it has to be in the bush. After 30 minutes of being scratched and beat up, and unable to swing my coil, plus the hot Okanagan climate, I advised her to have the bush cut back and we will try again. Laying in bed that night I thought about the Kim and her distress, so at 5am the next morning back I went to widen the search. 12 feet beyond the bush I retrieved Kim`s ring, that little boy has a strong arm.                                                                                              The ring has an inscription  » Be True to Your Dreams » how appropriate, that is what took me back.
