Wedding ring found in Longmont, CO yard

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)

While cleaning up debris left behind by a recent snow storm Matt Smalley lost his 14 kt white gold wedding band. Matt performed an “eyeballing” search for his ring but it was unable to locate his ring. Matt found my profile on Ring Finders and contacted me, giving me the basic information and we set a date for me to come and look for his ring.

I arrived at the prescribed date and time; Matt had taken that afternoon off work so that he would be able to explain his work site and what he was doing the day of the rings loss. The day was a bit cool so after Matt had shown my around he went back into his house to stay warm.

I prepared my equipment and set about on my search. Within a couple of minutes I heard the sound of a ring laying on the surface. As I parted the grass I could see the white gold band that was hiding very well under the leaves and brown grass. I retrieved the ring and made my way to the front door to return Matt’s ring.

Ring recovered November 1, 2011.

Lost Class Ring St. Paul Minnesota Found

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)

On Thanksgiving Day, Dan was out tossing the football with his kids. As he threw a pass, his Gold Class Ring went flying off his finger. He actually saw it come off and heard it hit a landscape brick that was surrounding his shrubs. Dan raked the whole area and searched for 5 -6 hours with no luck. He even came back out that night with a flash light ot see if the relection would be visible off the ring. Still no luck. My son and I drove out the next morning and starting searching the area as Dan and his 2 kids watched. After approx. 5 minutes of searching;  One of Dan’s kids, Sam (I think) said, hey Dad is that it? He had spotted the ring under some leaves and mulch right next to a shrub. Congrats Dan – No matter how or who finds the ring, This is all about getting that ring back on your finger.

Take Care!! Darrin

Ringfinders in the Snow

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

The first day of snow in Kelowna had Shawn Harrison and his wife Karen cleaning his car windshield of snow, once clean he shook his hands and drove away. When he arrived home he realized he had lost his wedding ring, he returned to the location with a metal detector to attempt to find his ring. It was hopeless too many signals to identify his ring, so he called myself at Ringfinders to assist him. On my arrival I found five people with propane torches and rakes searching the area, I joined the group with my detector and began searching, there were many signals but easy  for me to discriminate, after twenty minutes finding three coins and other deep good signals, I located the ring.

Another happy Ringfinders customer who says I saved his marriage.

Newly married Kyle was playing in 4 feet of water at Wood Lake, Winfield when he saw his white Gold wedding band fly off his finger, Both him and his wife searched the area with scoops, but were unable to find the ring.Four days later I  was contacted through Ringfinders to assist him in the search. Luckily for me he had marked the location in the lake with a mound of stones, it didn’t take long and we had the Ring back on his finger.It pays to know the exact location of a loss in the water.


Lost Rudder Lake Minnetonka Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)

Joe called and asked if we could dive to find his sailboat rudder that had accidently dropped off as he was getting his boat out of  the water for the year. This was in 12 feet of water with pure muck and weeds. It was too tough with the thick weeds and muck to use a detector. We used a wooden rod to poke down into the muck and « feel » for it……after 40 minutes or so we found it. Here’s to great sailing next year!!!

Lost ring Downers Grove IL found

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

Received a call about a lost gold wedding band. Apparently, while throwing a football to his young son, his wedding ring flew off. They had searched for a day using a metal detector, but to no avail. I drove out to their house did a search in the backyard for about an hour. I found the ring and united it with the owner. Both the husband and the wife were very happy. I spent about another half hour showing his 3 children how to use my detector and all three found Pennies. It’s a great hobby for kids and I always try to encourage kids to try metal detecting.

Holland, Mi Lost wedding ring found

While searching the Lost and Found ads I came across a  » lost ring »  in Holland or Hudsonville so I gave them a call. I talked to Jim Davis and asked him several questions and we decided that the ring might be lost in the lawn while his wife was doing some clipping of the fall plants. She thought she might have lost it at a store in Holland or in Hudsonville but after I heard she was not using gloves to cut the plants I knew it had to be around the yard. Jim showed my brother and I where she was cutting plants both in the back and front yard. After about 30 minutes and going through the flower beds we pretty much gave up and stood by the drive asking questions about where they have looked already. With our detectors still on my brother, Doug, swung the detector over some grass next to the flower bed where we were standing and there it was. Jim’s eyes lite up and gave Doug a big hug then me a hug then a handshake to both of us then another smile. It’s going to take weeks to wipe the smile off his face. I asked him to have someone take a picture of his wife when he showed it to her. I would love to be a fly on the wall. Jim wasn’t sure how he would break the news to her yet.

Jim was apprehensive at first about asking someone he didn’t know to check out his yard but I had him read an article that was in the Grand Rapids Press by Tom Rademacher about my metal detecting service and he felt better when we came out to his house.

Another happy couple reunited with a ring that sealed their marriage 31 years ago. Rosanne, I haven’t met you but I would encourage you to wear gloves when gardening the next time. Congratulations!

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)

Bill was playing with his kids in the Corn Bin, a play area filled with corn about 25 yards long 10 yards wide and 3 feet deep. While pushing his hands into the corn his platinum wedding ring slipped off and the corn being like quicksand , it disappeared. Bill found Theringfinders.com on an internet search and gave me a call. I talked with the owner of the area and he was happy to let us come in and search before they opened the next day. After a 15 minute search, Bill had his Wedding band back on his hand. We also found a Tiffany’s wedding band and 2 Gold rings that had been lost a few weeks earlier. The owner called (from their lost and found) and all the rings, and a bracelet found their way back to the rightful owners! What a great day. Congrats to all who thought their priceless items were lost forever.
