Lost Car Key in the Sand – Found and Returned Oak Island NC

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

I got a call from Harrison on Saturday, May 20th around 6:15pm stating he had lost a key in the sand on Oak Island and asked if I could help find it. Unfortunately, I was out of town and couldn’t personally help, but assured him I’d find someone that could and would call him back.

I first called Matt Fry, TRF Myrtle Beach who didn’t answer. I then called my son-in-law Donnie, who has helped me with finds in the past and he didn’t answer either. By now I’m thinking this isn’t looking good. I called my daughter who told me Donnie would probably be home in a couple of hours. I called Harrison back and brought him up to speed on what was going on and again assured him that someone would be up there to help find his key. Matt called me back sounding sick saying that he couldn’t make it.

I sent Donnie a text with all the details including Harrison’s phone number and told him to contact Harrison and let me know. A little after 8 Donnie texted me back saying he just got the text but wasn’t able to contact Harrison but did leave him a voice mail. I contacted Harrison, told him Donnie was going to call him right back, got a hold of Donnie and told him to call Harrison again.

At 10:40 I got a text from Donnie saying it took him 45 seconds to find the key. Outstanding!! I later learned that the missing key was Harrison’s car key, and with no spare he had to leave it parked at the beach. Donnie had to pick Harrison up at a rental house, drive him to the beach area and then find the key.

Great job Donnie, thanks so much for helping out and finding/returning the lost key.

Harrison, thank you for trusting The Ring Finders to help find your lost treasure!

How to find lost rings on sandy Vancouver Beaches? Call TheRingFinders! With close to 400 members world wide you now have a second chance to find what you thought was lost forever…

Yesterday was the first beautiful summer day we had in Vancouver, I just got off work and I was relaxing at home when the phone rang… The first words were  »are you the guy who finds rings »? I jumped into my car and headed to the beach and by the sounds of it, this search wouldn’t take long.

We met at the beach and we discuss the search, the young lady had circled the area where she believed the ring was lost. This helps a lot as it puts me in the correct location (hopefully) Chantelle went on to tell me that the ring was a gift from her late grandmother and she only had it for three years, you can imagine how heartbroken she was at the thought of never seeing it again.

After only a few minutes and one bobby pin that kept falling through my sand scoop, I saw her Grandmothers ring in my scope! I love my job because when you present the lost item to that person you get to see what it truly means to have a second chance to find what people thought was lost forever.

Lost Ring at Beach Tot Lot .. Balboa Pier, CA. .. Found

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

Keyvan called me after losing his custom designed wedding band. He felt it come off his finger while pushing his daughter on the swings at the beach. After a frustrating hour of searching the sand his wife had Google searched metal detector where my name came up on TheRingFinders.com.
The loss occurred at a beach playground area near the Balboa Beach pier which is only a couple miles from my home. There was some traffic problems but I was able to get there in about 20 minutes. It was an easy search and we had the ring back on Keyvan’s finger a few minutes after arriving.
When I arrived there was a audience of more than a dozen people that had heard that a guy with a metal detector was coming to find the ring. After scooping up the ring on my first pass there was applause and congratulations from the crowd. I felt like a rock star after finding the ring.
It was starting to get cold and dark when I rushed to get photos so they could home. Sorry the photos didn’t focus well.

Wedding Ring Lost at Manhattan Beach, CA…Found and Happily Returned.

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

I got a call from David this afternoon about a lost wedding ring. Apparently the ring had been taken off so he could go into the water without losing it (a very smart idea). It was wrapped in a towel so as not to lose it. Unfortunately when he went to shower, the towel was opened up, and before anything could be done it was gone. I was only 30 minutes away, and headed right over.

When I got there David was with his friend Chris, and it was then I found out that the ring was Chris’ and not as I assumed, David’s. David had researched, found me on the internet, and made the call for his friend. They showed me the area where they believed the loss happened, which wasn’t very large. It took all but about 5 minutes, and I received a nice tone in the head phones, and in one scoop I had Chris’ ring. I then found out he and his wife had only been married for 8 months, so this loss was very disconcerting for him. It was awesome to see the great sense of relief and joy overwhelm him when I pulled the ring out of my scoop. What a great day!

Keys Lost in Ivy in Los Angeles, CA…Found and Returned.

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

I received a text Tuesday evening from Lexi asking for help to find some keys. Apparently Lexi had been spinning the keys around a finger when they flew off and into the ivy of an apartment complex. Keys can be very expensive to replace, so this was an important search. I got to the place the next morning, was shown the area of the loss, and began the search. It took about 10 minutes, until my detector sounded off with a good signal. I was able to give the keys back to a relieved Lexi. Unfortunately Lexi did not want a picture taken, so I just have the keys. I was able to make another person’s day though, and this is what it is all about.

Angry Wife Throws Three Rings .. Orange County, CA. .. Found 24 Hours Later

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

I spent the afternoon doing a water search at low tide. I do not carry my celphone in chest deep water. When I returned to my car I found a voicemail on my phone from Jane Doe. She was very upset asking for my help finding three rings lost while taking an evening walk near her home.
When I called she said they had found two of the rings after searching all day but the third ring was still missing. If it was possible she could still use my help. I agreed to drive to South Orange County because we still had a couple hours of sunlight.
When I arrived Jane met me at the security gate of the gated community. We drove to a corner a couple blocks from her house. That’s where she got honest with me, telling me that she was angry and actually threw the three rings. I assured her this was more common than people know. It does help the search to understand what really happened.
Jane showed me where she was when she threw the rings. They had purchased a metal detector but had no success using it. The two rings they found were found about 30 feet away and in plain site. One on the sidewalk and the other in wood chip garden. I searched the most likely grass and wood chip garden. As I was beginning to search the difficult heavy bushes and rose garden, I asked Jane to double check the street because it was begging to get dark. Ten minutes later I heard her yell out, I found it.
It had been 30ft from the other rings more than 60 ft. from where she had been standing. It must have landed just right to roll that far. If you look at the ring you can see that the design would allow it to roll on a hard surface.
I didn’t find the ring but Jane gave me credit for having her double check the street where her ring had been lying in plain sight for more than 20 hours.

Lost pacemaker in Orlando, Florida….Found!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Todd gave me a call with a very unusual request! He needed to find his mother’s pacemaker because their dog had apparently grabbed it off of the counter and had possibly buried it somewhere in the backyard! WOW!! You can imagine the questions that came to my mind but Todd was quick to explain « the rest of the story »! Unfortunately his mother had passed away and her pacemaker was removed for the purpose of making sure it had been functioning properly. I had never been asked to search for a pacemaker before and was not exactly sure just how one would ring up on my metal detector. This particular one was made of titanium and that usually rings up on the low end of the non ferrous readings.
Later that day I met Todd at his home and we discussed the possibilities of where the dog could have dropped or buried the small pacemaker. (You can see in the photo the size and shape of this unusual item! It’s about the size of a half dollar and almost twice as thick!) As we began walking around the backyard looking at various holes where the dog had been digging and I was trying to get a feel for what I was up against, Todd exclaims, « Look at that! There it is! » And sure enough there it was, laying on the cement slab under the edge of the outdoor table, between 2 chairs.
Todd had previously looked the obvious areas over quite thoroughly and we came to the conclusion that one of the dogs must have dropped it there sometime that afternoon. What a relief it was for Todd and his sister to have their mother’s pacemaker back in safe keeping!
After a nice visit I said my goodbyes and headed home. And as I pulled away I realized how thankful I was to have been blessed and privileged to have helped another person in need. God bless you Todd and thanks for giving me a call. Got something that needs finding? Maybe I can help!

Lost Ring Verona, WI – Garden Find

  • from Madison (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Check out this lost ring story about a co-worker of mine.  It took two trips, with one of them in the cold rain!  Lucky for him, he skipped the Google search for Rent Metal Detector Verona and just called me.  He has followed my other lost ring stories and metal detector searches over the years. We’ve actually joked about how often he loses his ring, and how it’d only be a matter of time before he called me.  Well last month he lost his ring and needed a metal detector to find it.

Lost Ring Verona, WI

Kyle was planting raspberries along a fence. He thinks it fell off when he removed his gloves to shake a neighbors hand. I thought we’d have trouble with the metal nails and posts in the fence, but it wasn’t too bad. I almost immediately got a nice good strong gold signal when searching along the fence.  However, all I found was 2 iron nails from when the fence was built. Experience told me that the signal still had to be there.  Gold and Iron are in two completely different ranges on my metal detector, so I kept searching the area.  Very next target was the ring we were looking for.  This was lost ring found and returned #52 for me.  Turns out 52 was Kyle’s high school football jersey number.  Crazy!

Here’s the full story, including testimony and additional pictures from Kyle.  http://www.lostandfoundring.com/rent-metal-detector-verona/

Have you lost your ring?  Looking to rent a metal detector in Madison, WI or surrounding area?  Look no further and give me a call.  My rates are very reasonable, often less than the cost to rent a metal detector on your own.  I have operated www.LostandFoundRing.com for the past 3 years.  I’d love to help you find your lost ring next!  Remember time is the #1 differentiating factor between a lost ring and a found ring.

Lost & Found White Gold Mens Wedding Ring in Wimborne Horse Paddock

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Stuart Cohen from Wimborne was gutted to find he had lost his wedding band in his horse paddock whilst ‘cleaning up his dogs business’. Unfortunately we didnt know quite where, so the search area was potentially large and I prepared myself for an extensive hunt.

The ring had particular value as that not only was it his wedding ring but the fact that it was bought in Las Vegas where he was married. We scratched our heads and came up with a search plan that worked almost immediately. Just a few yards from our start point, deep in the long grass the detector let out a huge whine as it passed over the ring.

Stu was very relieved and grateful to get the ring back and promised not only to make a donation to the Margret Green Animal Sanctuary but to also get the ring re-sized!

Mens White Gold Wedding Band Lost & Found On Studland Beach

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Studland Beach in Dorset is a popular destination for holiday makers and day visitors just like Richard Meredith from Hampton Court, London.

As with many people visiting beaches, the combination of Sand Castle making, throwing Frisbees and sun tan oiled fingers- the risk of losing a ring is rife. We all know how hard it is to find anything dropped in the sand and the more you search the deeper it falls.

This is just what happened to Richard when he felt his ring slip off. The more he dug, the deeper it sank. He waited patiently for me to arrive but was reunited with his ring in a matter of seconds.

Richard kindly made a donation to the Margret Green Animal Charity.
