Concord Mills, NC – Lost wedding ring cleaning garden – FOUND!

  • from Winston-Salem (North Carolina, United States)

Received text message Tuesday asking if I could help find her husbands wedding band.  I advised could help tomorrow afternoon as would be in area and another ring finder services that area.  She is out of town and timing is perfect husband contacted another but wasn’t available for a few days.  Story is that husband was cleaning garden and while tossing bad tomatoes over the fence he realized his ring was missing.   I advised I would arrive at 6:30 and would text when enroute and again at 10 minutes out.

Arrived at their home and husband led me to the garden area and reenacted his work pattern of throwing with left hand backwards over the fence. I searched the immediate area and V pattern towards to fence. Negative results…. Relocated to outside of fence and began search carefully from fence and 10 feet back. This was a little more difficult because of small trees and overgrowth.  After 10 minutes working across the fence line I heard the desired tone and visually spotted the ring at the base of a tree. I retrieved the ring and handed to its owner whom was very happy.

Conversation following the recovery, owner admitted he had purchased a metal detector locally and searched without success. Said « the thing just made a lot of noises ». He then described purchasing a pen pointer off Amazon and searching following an online search suggestion.  Great that he tried himself and fortunate the area was in his property but had it been in a public space the delay and prolonged time laying on the ground a stranger could have just happened by and found it and gained a new ring to his loss.   Absolutely nothing better that the big smiles folks make when their items are found and returned.

Heirloom ring recovered from the snow! – Watertown, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

When Watertown, Wisconsin resident, Mariah Kruschke was twelve years of age, her grandmother passed away from cancer. Before she died, she gave Mariah an 18k ring to remember her by, a ring she wore every day since. Then, the unthinkable happened! The ring slipped off Mariah’s hand into the snow in a field in front of their country home. She felt the ring leave her hand but despite two and half hours searching and raking through the snow, it could not be found.

Mariah’s brother, Justice, even obtained a metal detector, but the presence of underground wiring and other metallic debris resulted in a cacophony of signals, making the endeavor futile. That’s when they located my listing on theringfinders.com directory of metal detecting specialists. I have over 40 years forensic metal detecting experience.

I received a text from Justice and arranged to meet on location that same evening. The half hour drive was extended another half hour due to a mapping error on the cellphone I used. But at last, we connected at the Kruschke’s home. It was dark by this time. It was also a bitterly cold night, one made colder by an angry wind. I donned a headlamp and followed Mariah and Justice to the area where the ring had gone missing. Evidence of their search efforts was clear from the large area of grass where the snow had been raked away and melted down in hopes of revealing the ring.

A quick search of the cleared area confirmed it was not there. Expanding the search grid resulted in hearing the signal I was listening for in my headset, the unmistakable sound and conductivity numbers consistent with a recently lost gold ring. Upon investigation and using a special metal-detecting probe, the ring’s hiding place was at last disclosed deep in the snow where it had fallen. I retrieved the precious ring and walked back to where Mariah stood shivering in the dark frigid night. “Maybe this will help to warm you up, Mariah,” I said as I slipped the ring into her hand.

Tears, relief, a hug and smiles followed.
