Another property pin found. Not a ring.

  • from Marietta (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

While metal detecting an old farm, I had a gentleman stop by and inquire about my metal detecting. After talking and telling him the story of finding the property pins, he replied « I have a pin that needs located, do you suppose you can find it? » I said that I would « give it a try » and off we went. He said that he could get me within 10′ of the pin! After about 1/2 hour and 40′ from where he thought the pin was, I had found it. He was surprised and relieved that it was found. It’s not jewelry or family heirlooms but I still enjoy helping people find lost metal of all kind.

Lost property corner pins….Not a ring

  • from Marietta (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

December of 2016 I received a call from a gentleman not too far from me. He found me on the internet searching « Marietta metal detector » He was wanting to locate his corner pins of his property and was going to buy a metal detector to locate them. After seeing my ad here on The Ring Finders, he decided to see if I could locate them instead of the purchase. I told him « I’d do my best » and made arrangements to meet up. I never thought it would be that hard to locate the pins!! I did find 2 rather quickly but the other two was very difficult. We ended up getting the Deed to the property and found the other ones using references in the Deed. The pins were located and he was very happy. He insisted on giving me a donation because as he stated « Metal detectors and surveyors are NOT cheap! » Just glad I could help!

Lost Ring in Ladner BC…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Midnight gold…I work long hours and I will go out after work when someone needs help to find their lost ring. The last little while we’ve had a blast of snow here and that makes for some calls for help.

I was at work and I got a call for help so I arranged a late meeting to go search for a lost ring and told the person it would be close to 1 am before I could make it out to him and he said lets do it.

Well a few minutes later I got another call and that person lost his ring and the kicker was he was located only 10 minutes from where I was working. Good thing I had a detector with me because it was a 40 minute drive back to my pace to grab one. When we get snow I carry one with me for this reason.

I got off work and headed out to Dave’s place and we met at 12am and he showed me the area I needed to search and it was huge! My first thought was this will take me hours. We discussed the search area and I asked Dave were he wanted to start and he said he had a feeling that it may have come off in this one location, so I said lets check it out.

10 minutes later and his ring was back where it belonged!

Lost Platinum Wedding Band .. Dana Point, CA. .. Found in Tot Lot

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

Mike had walked to a neighborhood park with his young son. While they were at the kids play area he noticed his platinum wedding band missing from his finger. The last time he remembered seeing his ring was at the house.
That night he returned to the swings which had wood chips on the ground. He thought that using a flashlight while raking through the ground cover might give him a glimpse of the ring. There still was a chance that his ring may have slipped off anywhere between the house and the park.
After discussing the details of the loss, I could only offer to search the places where the ring could be hiding. The most likely would be the child’s swing area where he was the most active.
Mike met me at the park early the next morning and it didn’t take long to get a nice low tone signal that turned out to be Mike’s platinum ring. I took a few minutes to show Mike how the detector works by digging a few coins in the same area.
I had high hopes that the ring would be in the swing area. I can recall at least 5 other rings recovered at swing sets. It has become easier to determine where a ring was lost after hearing many lost ring stories. Still, you never know unless you try.

Lost Key Chain Found In Northern Vermont

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

Got a call and email from someone very distressed today. He had lost his key chain in the snow while plowing and gathering wood. His home is in one of Vermont’s northernmost towns. They have so much snow up there!
There were keys and fobs on it for their late model Cooper and Volkswagen, company trucks and buildings and others. It would’ve cost around $1,000 to replace them(including towing and reprogramming). Wow, keys are so expensive these days!
I went right up and we began to search. I got a faint signal, probably some old fence wire, then got a real loud signal. He dug down in the snow and there they were. What a huge chain, about a dozen keys!
I then got to meet his wife and all their dogs. A great trip, we were all very happy!

Metal detector rental for lost ring in Vancouver BC.

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Why rent a mental detector when you can hire a metal detecting specialist…The Ring Finders directory has hundreds of metal detecting specialists around the world that will help you find your lost ring and other jewelry.

Today I went out to find a lost white gold wedding band for a young man who lost it by wiping snow off his pants.

He showed me the area and after 2 minutes or so I was able to find it for him. He was very happy and a little surprised at were I found his ring.

It wasn’t where he thought it would be but like most searches they never are found where you think it should be. It was in the opposite direction of where he thought it landed.

Texas Aggie Ring Lost Found Returned!

  • from Kerrville (Texas, United States)
Contact:

         

Wednesday evening I received a call from Karen who said she found me by looking for Fredericksburg, TX. Metal Detector on Google. Karen told me that after removing brush and leaves from their yard to a burn pile her husband, Royce, noticed his Texas Aggie Ring was missing.  She asked if I could possibly help locate it. Being a Texan I asked her how big the yard was and if she had a good idea where it could have been lost. She answered « the yard is large but the area it might be in was only about a half an acre or so ». I said to her “If it’s in the yard then I will find it!” Knowing how important an Aggie ring is to a graduate of Texas A&M I made an appointment to meet with them today.

I decided to take my 9 year old grandson, Jake, with me on this recovery. After picking him up from school we headed over to their place east of Fredericksburg. Upon arrival at the house and after introductions were made we walked the different areas of the property that they had worked in. Well, the area was much larger than ½ acre and was spread out to about 100 yards from the house. I asked the investigative questions determining what, how, when, where. I came to the conclusion that the Aggie Ring could be anywhere in about a two acre area. Unfortunately Royce could not recall exactly where he happened to take off his gloves that day. With that in mind, Jake (he has his own detector and knows how to use it) and I “suited” up. I instructed him to start around the burn pile and I started  the yard area around the house. Knowing the lost gold ring was going to be big and on the surface I concentrated high tones. After about 25 minutes of swinging my Garrett AT Pro I received the unmistakable “BIG gold tone” in my headphones. Luck was with us! Reaching down and parting the grass was Royce’s huge Aggie ring. I waved to Jake to come over to where I was,  Royce must have sensed our excitement as he headed over to where we were. He gave out a big Aggie WHOOP and danced around for a while! Royce got Karen and we all did some dancing and hugging (Jake too)!

It sure was great to meet Royce and Karen and it was an honor to recover Royce’s lost ring for him. It was just as exciting to have Jake involved in the return. He and I had high fives and smiles all the way home. He sure has a story to tell his classmates in school tomorrow. Thanks goes to Royce and Karen for contacting TheRingFinders.com and for the handsome reward. Jake will get his share and the rest will go towards more metal detecting equipment for both of us.

Gold Ring Lost in Sand .. Laguna Beach, CA. .. Found and Returned

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

While doing some grocery shopping in Laguna Beach, I received a call from Jeff at 6:30 pm. My cellphone reception was poor inside the store. So I went outside where I could make out that Jeff had lost a ring in a beach about 2 miles south of where I was shopping.
He told me that he had put his heirloom wedding ring in the cupholder of his beach chair. He didn’t remember it till he was already home. This ring was originally his grandfather’s and irreplaceable. Both Jeff and his wife were upset about the loss.
Jeff got online to research renting a metal detector. He located TheRingFinders.com, where he was able to get my phone number. After he told me about the event that led to the loss, I told him I’d go to the location right away. He sounded surprised but agreed to meet me in a half hour.
15 minutes later I parked at Pearl St. It was dark out, so I put my head lamp on grabbed my detector and sand scoop then walked down 50 steps to the beach. Jeff told me about a driftwood hut near where they had been all day.. Walking and swinging my detector directly toward the hut,  I hit a perfect signal that proved to be Jeff’s ring.. I turned to walk back up the steps where I could see Jeff. We met at the the top of the cliff, where I gave him his ring and took a photo of his smile.
The next day Jeff sent me a testimonial which I will send to our TRF’s testimonial page. Jeff was truly grateful.

Lost diamond engagement ring in cemetery, Sanford, Fl…..Found!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Amy was visiting the grave site where her precious little one–Jean Francis Butterfly Butler– was laid to rest. It was a rather warm January day and the rings on Amy’s ring finger were feeling tight so she removed them and slid them into her pocket-along with the keys to her van. It was a quiet and peaceful time, sitting there by her little one’s grave site, as Amy reflected on the many things she had to be thankful for. Soon it was time to pick up her 7 year old daughter from school, so she folded up her lawn chair and headed to the van, pulling out the keys from her pocket as made her way across the short grassy area. As she slid into the drivers seat she remembered her rings and reached into her pocket and discovered–NO RINGS! Frantically she retraced her steps to where she was sitting and after a thorough search she was able to find her wedding band, but no diamond engagement ring. She walked back and for over the small area–but could not find her precious ring.
The thought came to her–about renting a metal detector–so she went online and found a place but they were located way up in the northeast part of the country and the gentleman on the phone recommended she look up theringfinders.com! Happy to have someone so close by to help, Amy gave me a call and I was able to meet her within the hour! After meeting and hearing the details, Amy began retracing her steps and explaining to me that her ring was probably not along here because she had looked the area over very well….and in the middle of her sentence she looked down and there was her lost ring laying beside a flowerpot and partially hidden in the grass! She let out an « Oh my Goodness! » and bent over and picked up her own ring. It was so good to meet you Amy and to help YOU find your lost ring!
Lost your ring? Call ASAP!
Mike McInroe–a forever grateful member of theringfinders.com
