So Many Car Keys Found In Vermont

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

12/7/25

Just had another car key find at a new local dog park and recreation area, the former Elks Club Golf Coarse in Montpelier. It took 4 sessions to find it, pretty darn large area! So far, 4 for 4 on keys there. Unfortunately, the fellow had recently ordered a replacement key from the local Toyota dealership for $500, which they required up front payment. I’m hoping they will be decent to him and give a refund, because the key hasn’t been programmed for his Rav 4 yet.

I also built a Lost and Found box out of scrap building materials and brought it over there. People are frequently losing things in places like that!

There have been so many other car key searches lately, all around the region. These successful searches have saved the family many thousands of dollars, in total.
Feels great to be able to help them out!

Lost diamond ring Palm Shores Florida

  • from Melbourne Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Greg a golf buddy of mine knew I was a Ring Finder. When his friend Ruthann lost her gold diamond ring while doing yard work he gave her my number.  Ruthann and Greg searched the area with no luck so decided to call in the professional.  It was an area of dense shrubs so I could not swing my detector. Using my  pin pointer  on my hands and knees I found the ring lodged between the shrub roots.  Another happy ending.

Metal Detector finds a lost ring in a snowbank in Minneapolis Mn.

A Ring Lost in a Minneapolis Snowbank, Recovered by The Ring Finders
Ring Finder  Paul Nolan received a call that was referred to me by Darrin Gray, another Ring Finder who was unable to assist at the time. The call came from a very distraught woman visiting Minneapolis from Nevada. One thing that’s not needed very often in Las Vegas is a snow scraper and brush. While here, they encountered a light snowfall on their parked car in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. When they returned to their car, they needed to clean the windows. Without a brush, they used their hands to sweep off the snow. But no good deed goes unpunished, and a very sentimental ring was lost somewhere in the snow. This sparked a frantic search, including the purchase of a couple of metal detectors. They hunted for the next three hours without success. That’s when they realized they needed to call in someone with more expertise in locating lost rings. I happened to be relaxing when the phone rang. You could hear the tremble in her voice—this was a panic-stricken person who’d lost a deeply sentimental item and desperately needed help finding it. I told her I’d be downtown in about 45 minutes. Before long, we connected by phone, and I found myself following her car. We circled the block and pulled over on the side of a main thoroughfare in Minneapolis. There was slush everywhere on the road. We got out, surveyed the area, and I started the hunt. I cleared the road and the parking area along it—nothing. I checked the snow pile created by the snowplow—nothing on the roadside. I was concerned about a car parked nearby; maybe the ring was underneath it. I pressed on to the sidewalk, scanning the sidewalk side of the snowplow windrow. Suddenly, I got a target. I started moving some snow with my boot, but then I lost the signal. Where did it go? It was right here. I kept trying to recover the signal, but it was gone. I’d kicked an ice chunk, and I may have kicked the ring too, because about three feet away, I picked up the target again. I nudged a little snow aside with my metal detector, and something sparkled. I spotted it at the same time the women did. The happiness, the relief—the fear of losing the ring was over, and everything fell back into order in their lives. What a beautiful ring it was! I am so happy for them and now a part of the history of her ring.

Lost diamond stud ear ring, Orlando Florida…found by metal detectorist!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:


David’s wife was dropping their young daughter off at school and as she bent down to give her a kiss her diamond stud ear ring got tangled up in her daughter’s hair! It dropped somewhere either into the grass or onto her daughter’s backpack or on the sidewalk. After a frantic search someone suggested she call one of The Ring Finders! I met David and conducted an extensive search but my metal detector only picked up lots of small pieces of aluminum and a ton of small trash items. My last look over the sidewalk revealed where her lost diamond stud ear ring was hiding…and it was in one of the joints of the sidewalk and it was almost impossible to see! But thankfully it was found and returned to a very grateful young couple. I breathed a silent prayer of thanksgiving as I drove home!

How can I help you find something you have lost recently or years ago? Call or text me ASAP as 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Beautiful Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in West Chester, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

I was completing my 2nd ring finder mission of the day when I received a text from Jim regarding a lost platinum wedding band. It just so happens I was 15 minutes down the road successfully helping another gentlemen with his lost band…so i headed in his direction. Upon arrival Jim took me to his backyard and explained that he was playing/wrestling with his dogs when his ring came up missing. He suggested an area where he felt it most likely fell off….but couldn’t rule out any area in the large yard. As I always do I started scanning with my metal detector the most likely area the ring was lost. From 40 years of metal detecting I know that a ring on the surface has a very dramatic/unique signal on a metal detector…so I was hyper focused on hearing just that signal. I also calibrated my machine for just a gold/platinum ring. 3 minutes into the search….the signal I was looking for blew my ears off! It was 3 inches down in the deep grass and invisible to my eyes…but I knew it was there. I got out my ponpointer…dug around….and there it was! I was very happy to be able to return Jim’s ring to him…his smile as I handed his ring to him makes being a busy ring finder the best thing in the world!

Man’s 14K Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost at the Water’s Edge, Found and Returned Ocean Isle Beach, NC

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

This adventure started on Sunday, Nov 30th around 11:30 am when I received a text saying, “Hi Jim. We lost a men’s gold wedding band at Ocean Isle Beach on Wednesday. Any chance it is findable? It was in the surf as the tide was going out.” I texted her back and told her I’d call her shortly. A short time later I called the number attached to the text and spoke to Susan. She told me that the ring was lost at approximately 3 pm on Wednesday, Nov 26th. A check of the tide tables for the 26th showed low tide was at 5:24 pm, meaning the ring was lost about 2 ½ hours before low tide. Susan also said that there was a couple of gentlemen metal detecting who had looked for the ring without success. Looking at the tide tables for Sunday, low tide was at 9:15 pm. I told Susan I’d be out there around 7 pm that evening. My next concern was finding a place to park, since Susan and her group had already left to go home. But I’d figure that out when I got there.

It was dark when I got there at 6:50 pm. I pulled in the driveway of the house and took a picture of it with the name, “Sea Wolf,” and sent it to Susan to let her know I was there. As I’m trying to figure out where to park, the cleaning crew was leaving. I explained what I was doing and was granted permission to park in the driveway. That problem solved. Made my way out on the beach and went through Susan’s text messages again to make sure I was in the right area. Up to this point, I was assuming the lost ring belonged to her husband. In her text she said that her son, Logan was the one who lost his yellow gold wedding ring 4 to 5 houses down from the house they were renting. So my plan was to go to the far side of the 6th house and work a grid back to the house they rented. I had just enough moon light to see my grid lines from dragging my sand scoop in the sand to keep me on track. I was working from the mid-tide line down to ankle/shin deep in the ocean. I passed the 5th, 4th, and 3rd houses with no luck, other than 2 pennies, 2 pull tabs and a tungsten ring that had been buried for quite a while. It was close to 9 pm and reaching dead low tide. As I was coming out of the water behind the 2nd house, I got a solid 16/17 on the Minelab Equinox 800 VDI (visual display indicator) and I knew I had Logan’s gold ring. After 4 days of sitting in the surf under the moving water and shifting sand, it took me a couple of scoops to get the ring out. Bingo. I sent a picture of the ring to Susan who sent it to Logan and he identified it. I got the ring in the mail on Monday and sent it on its way back home to Virginia with an estimated delivery date of today, Friday.

Susan – Thank you for contacting me to help find Logan’s ring.

Logan – So happy I could help find your ring and get it back where it belongs.

Jim

Lost ring in Provo: found and returned

Contact:

Jane and her college roommates were enjoying the first snowfall of the year in front of the historic Utah County Courthouse. After a snowball fight, they made snow angels, and then discovered that one of the roommates had lost her favorite ring in the snow. After the snow melted, Jane returned and searched thoroughly for the ring in the grass but couldn’t find it. She hoped to find the ring, then give it as a surprise birthday present to her roommate in a few weeks. She found my name in TheRingFinders.com and gave me a call. We met the next morning, and after maybe 45 minutes of searching in a light snowfall with my metal detectors, we found the ring hidden in the grass. Jane is excited to return the ring to its owner at the birthday party!

Special ring lost, found and returned in Aurora

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

It’s that time of year! ❄️🌨️Lynette was cleaning off her car the other day and felt her ring fall off. She said she tried so hard to find it. It was a ring given to her by her parents when she was 16 and has worn it every day since. So you can imagine how special this was to her. I bundled up drove 40 minutes and met her at her location. After she showed me what happened I grabbed my gear and told her she didn’t have to wait out here with me in the cold. She went inside, I swung my detector maybe 5 times and got a low faint signal. It was buried in the snow in the rocks next to her car. It was so helpful that she knew when it fell off, it aided in the 3 minute search! Seeing Tears of joy always warms my heart. Worth the nearly 1.5 drive time 😊

Olivia called letting me know she had lost a bracelet in the sand at a private beach club while at a party the night before. There had been a lot of activity at the party, so she was unaware the bracelet was gone until later that night. We arranged a time to do the search, and she obtained permission for me to come and help her.

She took me to the area of the loss when I arrived, and showed me where she believed the bracelet might be. It was a good sized area that would have to be meticulously gone over with my detector. I worked a tight grid making sure I covered every inch of sand, but not find the bracelet. I then began to expand the search area when I got a good signal, dug, and had her bracelet. She was happy to have it back, and it made for a very productive day.

Sentimental, Black Diamond Ceramic & 14K Gold Ring Recovered in Deep Snow in Hampshire, Illinois

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

Early Monday morning, while I was at work, I received a text from Dan. Dan said that he was in need of my services. He told me that he and his wife had just got married on Saturday (two days ago) and his ring was a little loose fitting to begin with. He went on to say that he was out in their front yard and was adjusting a Christmas light in the deep snow. When he stood up and turned around he shook his hands to get the snow and water off of them. While he was shaking his hands his brand new wedding ring flew off of his finger! He said he felt it come off, but didn’t see where it went. I told him that I was at work at the time and that the earliest that I could be there would be around 3 pm. We agreed to meet then if they didn’t find it first. Around noon Dan messaged me back and told me that they hadn’t found it and have given up. I reassured them that I would be there as soon as possible. I arrived shortly before 3 o’clock and met Dan’s wife in front of the house by the Christmas decorations.  I could see where they were looking for his ring by the areas of disturbed snow and exposed grass from them dumping warm water in the grass to melt the snow. I started in the strip of grass in-between the curb and the sidewalk. Starting with the snow that had been pushed up along the curb by the snowplows… nothing. I then did a small grid pattern in the suspected area, around all of the disturbed snow and bare grass, nothing there either. So I went to the other side of the sidewalk and started working my way back towards where I had begun.  After about only 10 or 15 feet I got a quite, but solid, 4 on the Equinox 800. I grabbed my Garrett pinpointer and started searching the deep snow. As you can see in Dan’s Ring camera video I immediately got a solid signal that sounded like something laying on top of the ground. I quickly located the item in a handful of snow and as I opened my hand I could see the distinct edge of the black and gold ring in the fresh white snow!

Success!!!

Another smile for the book!!
