Hello John,

I saw your info on theringfinders.com website. I lost my wedding band this past week and was looking into renting a metal detector in hopes of finding it, but then I found you in a Google search. Would you expect the same payment whether the ring is found or not? I’d be willing to pay $**** if found, but $**** if not for your time. I don’t know if that’d be worth your while, but just wanted to be honest up front about what I’m willing/able to pay. If that’s
reasonable for you, please email me back and we can try to arrange a time to meet at the park. Thank you for even considering!

Best,
David

I met with David and his son at a local park in Sugar Land where they had played baseball a few days earlier. David said, he and his son were throwing the ball and he was pretty sure his Platinum Wedding Ring came off of his finger when he had taken off his baseball glove. David pointed out an area in the park where he and his son had been playing, and then walked the area with me, highlighting the areas he had remembered pulling off his glove.

The search area in the park was about 100′ by 100′ of flat level grass. I was pretty sure this would be a quick easy find, thinking this should be a really low trash area and the ring should be a fast find. Well the park had a lot of false signals requiring me to stop and dig through the grass frequently checking for the ring.

After about an hour, and moving another 10′ outside of the original search area, success a good solid signal. I looked into the grass and saw the ring. I had given David’s son one of my handheld Pin-Pointers to play with, and I could see he was about 20-30- feet away digging in the grass looking for treasures of his own.

I called him over, and asked him to check this  particular area for his Dad’s Wedding Ring. After a few minutes of working his handheld in the grass, the handheld sounded and he found the ring. It was pretty cool seeing David’s son finding his father’s ring. It was a Kodak moment.

Lost Wedding Band… Found at The Quad Cities (Port Byron, Ill.)

Contact:

I received an email from Breyana on Feb. 17th. She said her husband and her had been sledding and coming down the hill his gloves had filled up with snow. At the bottom he took them off and shook them and his hands and his ring went flying into the powdery snow.

They searched but couldn’t find it. She then googled for help and the ringfinders site came up. I emailed her back and then she gave me a call and we arranged to meet today.

The sledding was done at her in-laws farm and we had to walk in a ways but not real far. She then showed me the place where the ring was lost. Almost immediately I got a signal on the CTX3030. It showed 12-35 and not very deep. She had put me right on top of the ring! Breyana's ring

My easiest search so far, this makes up for some of those very long tough ones! Good luck ringfinders.

Ring find wrapped up in Howell, MI

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Barb W. emailed me after loosing her heirloom special made diamond wedding ring. While cleaning her basement in her condo, organizing Christmas decorations and sorting some books she assumed she had lost her ring there. After going back up stairs and doing some more cleaning she noticed the ring missing. She went on line and located theringfinders. Telling me the story again over the phone I agreed to travel the hour and a half to help her find the ring. I have helped a gentleman find his ring in his basement before so I had an idea how I wanted to approach this. I had the gentleman clean one end of the basement and then start bringing items from one side onto the cleared out side while examining each item first. He remembered hearing the ring hit the concrete but disappeared from view. He found the ring had bounced into a corner by a box and moving the box around produced the ring. It was a simple procedure then, but finding Barbs ring was a little bit harder. I retraced her movements around the basement going through a bookcase, Christmas decorations, art work in boxes and a three drawer cabinet. Unable to find the ring I ask Barb to think real hard about what she did that day and to retrace her actions.  She then remembered wrapping a package upstairs and went to the box of wrapping material and there it was.

With tears in her eyes she yelled « I found it ». Mark, her husband was all smiles and I got teary eyed with happiness. It is the greatest feeling finding a lost ring even if it wasn’t me that found it.IMG-20140217-00448

Lost watch, Winter Springs, Orlando, Florida…..Found!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Kathy asking if I could help find her lost watch!!  She explained how she and her husband had taken a walk and half way through their walk her watch was feeling a bit heavy and was clinging to her wrist, so she removed the watch and was carrying it in her hand.  Upon returning to their home the dog bolted from the house and the frantic chase began!   Her husband threw her the leash and as she tried to catch it with her left hand-she missed it and the leash landed in the St. Augustine grass.  (Northerners call it crab grass!)  Kathy was not sure if she dropped the watch at this point or if she dropped it across the street in the neighbors yard as she ran after the dog and was trying to put the leash on the frisky canine!  After realizing her watch was missing both she and her husband retraced their steps.  They walked and searched the grass and along the sidewalks but could not find her special watch.  This was not just any watch–it was a gift given to her by her loving husband when she retired and it had special meaning!

So I met up with Kathy and she showed me the areas where she thought the watch was lost.  I set up flags to mark off the places she walked through the yard, where she picked up the leash and where she went into the neighbors yard.  I combed the grass looking for the slightest glint of gold and listening for a good strong signal.  My metal detector was getting allot of interference from underground lines and I had to switch to prospecting mode on my DFX to get it to quiet down.  The neighbors grass was not as thick and I wondered how a watch could hide so well.  Kathy was looking a bit sad as I was finishing up the search.  I had circled the yard and was working my way to the center area when my eye caught a shinny glint of gold!  Could it be?  I motioned for Kathy to come over to where I had stopped, and she said, « What is it? »  I said I want you to be the one to pick it up and you should have seen the look on her face!!!   What an amazing feeling of relief and joy and thankfulness!

Thank you Kathy for your generous reward and for calling on me to help you!

Lost something precious?  Call ASAP!!

Lost Keys in Columbus, OH. « FOUND! »

  • from Newark (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

I received a call on Monday about a mans lost set a keys. He was helping a friend out while shoveling the snow from the driveway and lost them somewhere. I could not make for the next couple of days because the temperatures were down in the negative 20’s. So we meet up on a much warmer day. After searching for about thirty minutes about the driveway, there was the keys in the two foot high snow bank. He was very happy to have them back, which save him money into getting a new car key and he can use his gas discount card again.

Lost Engagement Ring… Found Independence, Iowa

Contact:

ring Jan. 2014 ClintI received my first call for 2014 on Jan. 28th from a young man who found the ringfinders website. He regrettably  became angry at his fiancée and gave her engagement ring a toss.

They were in a parking lot at the time and it had recently snowed. He said he saw it bounce off the drive that led out of the lot and then lost sight of it. When he looked for the ring, it wasn’t on the pavement anywhere. So he thought it landed in the snow on the side of the drive.

He then rented a detector but couldn’t find it. He then found me and gave me a call. When I arrived the next day after work I went through some snow he had shoveled into a pile hoping the ring would be in it but all I found was a dime.

I then started my first pass beside the drive and I got a 12-15 hit on the CTX3030 but it was in the frozen ground so that couldn’t be it. The next hit was a 12-05 at about two inches and from just beneath the snow I pulled up the ring. We both were very relieved, him more than me.

So I hope this is a sign of good things to come in the new year. Good luck to all the ringfinders out there.

Lost White Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Durham , N.C. on 1/29/2014

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

Hello , here is another post of a recovery I made last night for a guy not to far from me..        Mr. Brian B. gave me a call yesterday evening just before dark about a ring he had lost while having a snow ball fight with his wife.. When speaking to him he gave me all the details and explained that when he was shaking the snow and water off his hands the rings flew off and he heard it ping / hit the ground..  He then tried to find the ring but was unsuccessful since there was snow everywhere and the ring was hidden in the snow.. even though it was getting dark I offered to come out and find it for him in the dark anyway since he was close and I really enjoy helping people recover their lost items.. It took me about 30 minutes to get there and I recovered the ring pretty fast using my Garrett ATPRO metal detector.. The search took about 15 minutes.. The ring was found only a few feet from where he lost it.. I was really happy to help MR. Brian B. and he was very happy to have it found.. He is a really nice guy and it was a pleasure to help him..DCIM100GOPRO DCIM100GOPRO
