Lost Platinum & 18k Gold Wedding Ring Recovered in Morrisville N.C. on 3/31/15

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

On 3/29/15 , I was contacted by a Mr. Michael C. about his wedding ring he had lost while playing with his Dogs in his back yard.. We discussed the lost ring and all the details of where he had lost it and how.. After speaking to him I agreed to meet him the next day on 3/30/15 to do the search and find his ring.. I assured him it would be a easy search and I would be able to find his ring pretty quick since he was sure of the area he lost it in.. We had agreed to meet between 6:00pm & 6:30pm , 0n 3/30/15..

But the next day before I was to go out to do the search, I had decided since I had time before meeting him that I would go metal detecting in the woods first to pass some time before I had to meet him.. Thats when I had a problem of my own , I was about a mile back in the woods detecting and when it came time to head back to my truck so I could meet Mr. Michael C. to do his search I had relized I lost my truck keys in the woods somewhere.. This was a problem since I could not go anywhere with out my keys and I could not call him to let him know what happened since I locked my phone in my truck and could not get in to call anyone.. I search the woods again for my keys and decided to walk home when I could not find them.. When I finally got home , I emailed Mr. Michael C. late that night to let him know what had happened and to apologize for not being able to make it to do the search.. The next morning on 3/31/15, I had a friend give me a ride back to my truck with a spare set of keys so i could pick my truck up.. That same day I had spoke to Mr. Michael C. again since I had my phone again and truck back.. He was very understanding as to what happened and we agreeded to meet that day between 4pm & 4:30pm.. When I got there it was around 4pm and I met with Mr. Michael C. about ten minutes later when he had got there.. He walked me through what he was doing when he lost his ring and I even got to meet his 2 dogs he was playing with when he lost the ring.. I showed him the equipment I was going to use and explained this search would not take long as i was going to be able to find it fast using my long range electroscope called the Regulator..  I began my search using the Regulator long range electroscope and instantly got a hit on a line of bearing to search.. I grabbed my metal detector and in less then 3 minutes I had found his ring.. I was happy to have helped him out and he was very happy to have it back.. I also want to thank him for the generous reward he offered.. That much of a reward was not neccesary because I was not used to getting that much for a reward.. Its not about the amount of the reward I am offered that gives me pleasure in helping others out.. My reward is the pleasure I get when I see the smiles on a persons face when I return their lost item back to them..

Indian Rocks Beach Ring Recovered

Contact:

Marlita and Lani first met and became friends while working in the medical profession in Saudi Arabia. They had not seen each other since 1993 but had just reconnected and Lani was visiting from Connecticut. They decided to spend the day on the beach and relive old times. After a few hours of sunbathing, Lani decided to go for a swim. She was wise to the danger of losing jewelry when in the water so she took off her bracelet and ring, put them in Marlit’s hand and ran off into the water. Marlita quickly put what was in her hand into the beach bag. She did not realize that there were 2 items in her hand and somehow dropped the ring without knowing that she ever had it. When Lani returned and looked for her jewelry she discovered her ring was missing. They searched and searched but could not find it. They left the beach that night broken hearted. Lina had received the ring from her husband 30 years earlier and it was very precious to her.

Marlita was so devastated that she had been the one to lose the ring and the next morning she found The Ring Finders on the internet and contacted Tom. Tom went right up to the beach and met Marlita and Lina. He searched the best he could but with the beaches so full for spring break there were many area’s he could not cover. After finding nothing he organized a hunt that evening after the crowds had cleared out. The group, Stan Flack, Ed Osmar, Rick Magyar, Chris Duerden, Mike Miller, Jim Thobe, and Sharon Holcomb, showed up at 6:00 pm and by 6:30 pm Stan had the ring in hand. Marlita met us shortly after and was overjoyed to see Stan pull it from his pouch. She call Lina immediately and told her the good news. It was smiles all around!!!!!!! Great job team, thanks for being there for Marlita and Lina.

Lost ring Found at Mission Beach

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Annie on Sunday evening about a lost ring. She had been at Mission Beach earlier in the day and had been playing in the surf with a nerf football. She went for a reception and ended up with a fumble as her ring that was given to her by her mother-in-law flew off into waist deep water. As in most cases, the search was in vain as rings can disappear easily in the surf and shifting sands. I told her that I would go to the site the next afternoon to take advantage of a low tide. She gave me a good description of the area since she had to work the next day. I arrived a couple hours before low tide and started a grid. About an hour or so later I got a nice low growl in my headphones indicating a target in the gold range. One big scoop with my Stealth 720i in ankle deep water and I had the prize in the basket. Since I live right on her way home from work, she and her husband stopped by the house and had a happy reunion with the ring. It was a pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.

Sons silver ring lost and found in West Kelowna backyard.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Kelly phoned me to say that her son Carson was devastated because he had lost his silver ring in their backyard while playing with the dog. It was lost the evening prior to her call, the family searched the side of the house where it came off during a toy throw. I arrived and expected to find it in the junipers by the side of the house, after one hour I knew it was not there. I asked if I could check out the next door suspecting it may have flown over the fence. No one was home so we went around and sure enough it was lying on the gravel pathway.

Lost 24kt. Wedding Ring in Houston, Texas (Recovered)

I was contacted yesterday by Jayant regarding his lost 24kt wedding band in the Houston area. Jayant said while playing volley ball with his son in a park near the George Bush Park in Houston his ring flew off his finger. Jayant said he was throwing the ball overhand to his son when he felt his ring slip off his finger. Jayant said several hours of searching followed, but he and his family were unsuccessful at finding his missing ring.

03/31/2015

I met with Jayant this evening and was shown the area needing to be searched. It was very large field but Jayant had left some markers in the field knowing he would need to return to the exact location. « Smart thinking on his part »

With Jayden’s marker in place and after a quick rehearsal of the previous days events, we set out to find the ring.

The quick recovery was directly related to Jayden’s quick thinking of marking his location in the very large field. Way to go…

Lost Wedding Ring at Santa Monica Beach, CA…Found.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

P1020661P1020660

I received a call from Geno this morning, asking if I would be able to help him find his wedding ring. He had been to the beach the day before, and wanting to go into the water he wisely took his ring off and wrapped it in his shirt before he went in. The problem occurred when he was ready to leave, and he forgot he had placed his ring in the shirt. He picked up his shirt, and the ring was gone. Seeing that a day had gone by, I had to ask some questions in order to evaluate the possibilities of finding his ring. By the time I finished asking my probing questions, I felt there was a pretty good chance of recovery, but it had to be today.

We scheduled to meet at 5:00 PM, so Geno could show me the area of the loss. When we met up, I asked how he had found me, and he told me that a friend of his, had a friend Eugene, who I had found his wife’s rings two weeks prior, that recommended me to him. He took me out to the spot that he was sure the loss took place, so I readied my equipment, and began my search. In about 20 seconds, I heard that unmistakable sound of gold in my ears, and began to dig. A couple of scoops later Geno’s ring was bouncing around in my scoop. I pulled it out and asked him if this was what we were looking for, at which time with exuberance, and some disbelief he acknowledged the ring to be his, identifying the inscriptions inside. This recovery happened so fast because Geno remembered the exact location, and did not let too much time expire before contacting someone to help him; those are important things to remember when a loss occurs.

What a pleasure it is to see joy returned. What a great day it was today.

If you lose your ring or other metal item of value, call as soon as possible. I will work hard to help you find what you thought might never be found again. I search,  Beverly Hills, Hermosa Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Seal Beach, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Venice Beach, and all parks, yards, gardens, and ponds (to 5 foot depths) in all of Orange County, all of Los Angeles County, and Ventura County.

Engagement Ring Lost in Sand .. Newport Beach, CA. .. Found

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

March 26, 2015 … Thursday

I had a ring search earlier in the day at a park. When I got home to rest up I got a call from the same people telling me that they found the 2 platinum and diamond rings in their sofa. Five minutes later I got a call from Jessica who was at Newport Beach which is 4 miles away from my location. Jessica sounded very distressed that her rose gold engagement ring was lost in the sand. She had placed it in her beach bag for safe keeping. When she went to take towel out of the bag the ring went into the super soft fine sand.
Traffic and parking was a bit of a problem but I was able to meet her within a half hour. I asked them to stay in the area they lost the ring. They had the whole area staked out with towels and other beach items. I asked her what type of metal it was and if it was small or large. It took a few minutes to find it. I was surprised that it was such a broken signal. Rose Gold is an alloy and it was very petite which made it harder to detect. I know that this part of the beach will be sifted first thing every morning by the dreaded beach cleaning machines. If she waited a day to call me the ring would have been lost forever.
The smile on Jessica’s face and her two girl friend made it another beautiful day.imageimage

Wedding Ring Lost in Sand .. Belmont Shores, CA. .. Found

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

March 25, 2015

Eric called about 1pm asking to rent a metal detector. I explained to him about the cost of renting and how far away the nearest detector shop is located.
He told me that he was sure where the titanium ring was located. He was in Belmont Shores Penensula at the beach. After talking to him about how I could help him find his ring and show him how the metal detector works. I actually thought I would let him use my detector while I stood by. When I arrived he told me that he had been arguing with his wife of three months , Josselyn. In the heat of the moment he tossed his wedding band over the 4 ft. block wall into the sand on the other side. He said, as he was doing it he thought it would be easy to find. After three hours of searching the sand he went to his smart phone locating TheRingFinders.com .
When I got to the location he showed me an area of approximately 50×50 ft. where he thought it to be. Then he said they had to be somewhere by 3 pm. It was going to be a little more difficult than I expected. This was not a situation where we could do a detector demonstration. I decided not to waste time. So I set up close to the wall in the center, planning to do a spiral grid. I started swinging and within 3 ft. got a good signal 3 inches deep. I called Eric over to let him hear the signal before retrieving the metal under my search coil. When I dug into the sand with my scoop there was Eric’s ring.
Both Eric and Josselyn were elated and thankful. It was a pleasure to help them.

Lost Wedding Ring Houston, Texas (Recovered)

I received the following email from Mark this morning regarding his lost Wedding Ring.

 

Hi John,

My tungsten-carbide wedding band slipped off this morning in some short grass. I know the 5×5′ area it’s in, but after 10 minutes of searching I had to give up. I would like to know if you could come try your skills at finding it.

The location is at the corner of Chimney Rock and South Braeswood. If you can help, let me know your availability and we can work out a schedule.

thanks,

Mark

Mark and I met in Houston this afternoon and searched for his missing ring. The search  area was a grass field adjacent to a roadway where he exits the running track. The recovery took less than 10 minutes. Marks ability to put us in the right spot was the main factor in the fast recovery. Nice work Mark.
