Lost ring on Forest Lake golf course recovered!

  • from Coon Rapids (Minnesota, United States)

Sentimental value cannot be measured. This unfortunate incident was filled with meaning: Ron had been golfing when he put on his father’s ring — a ring given to him by his mother a few years earlier. His father died young and the ring had been tucked away and nearly forgotten until his mother found it and offered it to Ron. He accepted immediately and asked his wife to have their wedding date, along with his parents’ wedding date, engraved inside.

While on the course he slipped the ring into his pocket, later reached for money, and didn’t notice his pocket had turned inside out. Realizing it was missing, Ron retraced his steps, rented a metal detector, and searched the area but found nothing. He called me, and we went to the most likely spot and searched until the ring was recovered.

I feel privileged to have been part of this deeply sentimental recovery. Ron, you are a kind soul — your gratitude meant everything. Thank you for choosing me to find your ring.

Wedding ring lost in Oregon for seven months, found with metal detector

  • from Oregon City (Oregon, United States)

Right at the end of January, I received a text from Lalo inquiring if I was available to provide my services to help find his wife’s lost wedding ring.

He said six or seven months ago, he and his wife were doing some yard work out back, and her ring went missing. He had purchased a metal detector and tried multiple times to find it, but since he had no idea what he was doing, he had no luck. He was also concerned that due to some of the huge rainstorms we had, the ring may have been moved down the hillside. I assured him that unless there had been some substantial sliding, the ring wouldn’t have moved very much.

He wasn’t sure if the ring was white gold or platinum, but it was both her engagement ring and wedding ring welded together, with diamonds.

His hope was to find the ring and return it to her as a surprise Valentine’s Day present.

I was able to go over to his home the next day, while his wife was away. He showed me the areas he believed the ring had been lost. Searching that area, I found nothing but nails and aluminum scraps.
Moving lower into the yard, I still was getting junk signals, and was getting ready to switch out to a smaller search coil, since I was searching along a metal fence. Each swing to the right hit the fence, causing a big response on the detector, but since I was using a manticore detector, which is very capable, I continued.

A bit further, I got a hit off the fence, an iron signal, and something else. Using my pinpointer, I pulled out a nail. Knowing that you have to double check the hole, I used my pinpointer and found what we were looking for!!

Lalo seemed genuinely surprised when I handed him the ring. I hope his wife was pleasantly surprised to receive it back for her valentines gift

White Gold & Diamond Ring found in Rockford, Illinois.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

 

I received a text message from Kristyn today just before noon stating that she found me and The Ring Finders on Google after a quick search for « metal detecting service in Rockford ». So I grabbed my DĒUS II metal detector and Garrett pinpointer and arrived at Kristyn & Kyle’s house by 3 pm. After a quick introduction Kyle showed me the area that they believed that the ring was in. So I started a simple grid search in the front yard. After approximately 20-30 minutes, on my 5th pass I got a solid, double tapping, 46-48 signal on the DĒUS II. Nothing was visible so I grabbed my pinpointer and scanned the ground and immediately got a strong response! So I gently probed around in the grass until I eventually got a glimpse of a shiny round object tucked under the grass and some dandelion leaves! Afterwards Kristyn told me that they, including her mother,  had been searching for the ring for 3 days!!

So glad that I could help!!

Another smile for the book!! 😁
