Stacia was doing gardening work in the front, side and back yard of her lovely Leesburg, Virginia house. Approximately three hours into her landscaping project, Stacia looked down and noticed that her special family heirloom ring was no longer on her right thumb. This was no ordinary 14 karat yellow gold diamond ring. It happened to be a wedding band that was once worn by Stacia’s grandmother many years back in the past and at some point in time it was gifted to Stacia.

My client and her partner used a metal detector to search all of the flower beds, recycling bags and the entire front and back yard but all of their search and recovery efforts led to no avail. That’s when they turned to the internet and looked for additional help. Eventually they came across my website: METAL DETECTING ADVENTURES INC which links my clients to THE RING FINDERS, an elite international directory of metal detectorists who specialize in finding lost rings for people all over the world.

When I received the call for help from Stacia and her partner Donn, I asked them every question imaginable in order for me to get a better idea as to how Stacia may have lost the ring and to determine if I could effectively offer my services to the couple.

I told the two of them that it was possible that the ring was not lost outside but rather in the garbage or in the recycling bin. Because Stacia didn’t know the last time that she saw the ring on her finger, there was always the possibility that it was lost in the house or in a public environment. However, we all felt that it was most likely lost somewhere outside on their property.

A couple of days after we all spoke on the phone, I drove early in the morning to Leesburg, Virginia to conduct the search. The couple showed me all of the places where my client had been weeding, trimming and hauling. There were a few places in the front of the house and on the left side, as well. Most of the searching, however, would be focused in the backyard. Stacia had been working all along the parameter of the fence line in the flower beds, walking across the center grassy lawn area and it was possible that the ring fell into one of the recycling bags.

Once we finished reviewing all of the possible places where the ring could have been lost, I gathered up my metal detecting gear and headed to the back of the property to begin the search.

I spent the first two and a half hours metal detecting every inch of the areas where the couple and I reviewed and nothing turned up. I made sure that I detected under every shrub and bush as well as check all of the planters and flower boxes. When I was unsuccessful in the backyard, I detected the side of the house, in the flower beds where the wood chips covered the ground and scanned a stretch of 10 feet by 45 feet of lawn where Stacia walked with her gardening tools. Next, I detected the front of the house which included the flower beds and grassy lawn. Unfortunately, I still did not find the ring anywhere.

I gave an update to the clients and I suggested that I check their garbage and recycling cans since Stacia’s irreplaceable gold ring had not turned up anywhere else up to that point. The couple agreed that that was our next best option and so I immediately got busy detecting the throw-away bags and loose items in both receptacles in the garage. After finishing the search in the garage, I still came up empty-handed.

The three of us had a final meeting to decide if we should call it quits or perhaps for me to metal detect the right side of the backyard. Stacia said she did not do any work there before learning of the disappearance of her ring. Yet, I told the couple that sometimes my clients have no memory of being in a certain place at a certain time which ended up being where the item went missing all along.

We decided to have me search the flower beds and the lawn to the right of the house in the backyard and to metal detect outside of the fenced in area as well as scan the ground where Stacia discarded some trimmings and weeds.

After 25 minutes or so of metal detecting all of the areas mentioned above, I was still not able to locate my client’s special family heirloom ring. I was pretty disheartened about it all because none of this made any sense as to why I had not already recovered it. I gathered my detecting equipment, walked through the gate, shut the gate closed and randomly decided to swing my detector over to the right of the gate where the flower bed ended on that side of the house. I really was done with the search but for some reason something told me to swing the detector over by a particular bush. Then, I took my handheld detector and scanned under the pretty plant and to my surprise, I got a signal! I looked, and there it was! The lost ring! I couldn’t believe it! You could not have written a script more thrilling than this one because I had wrapped up the search and I was heading for my vehicle to drop off my gear and say goodbye to my clients! What a fantastic finish it was!

I made sure that Stacia and Donn got a huge surprise from me! It was absolutely a memorable moment indeed! Stacia’s face turned pink and she became extremely emotional at the moment that she was reunited with her grandmother’s diamond wedding band!

I told them that had they not given me permission to search more of the backyard and beyond after finishing up in the garage, I would have never maneuvered my detector over to the right side of the gate as I made my way back to the car! I don’t know what it was that made me want to search that flower bed one more time (because I had already gone over that area hours earlier), but whatever it was, I certainly gave glory to God for helping me with the search so that I could bring such wonderful news to my clients! Again, it was certainly a fantastic finish…yes, even after the search was already over!

Metal Detecting Lost Platinum Wedding Band in Grass…Found at Arlington, Virginia Park

Mark’s Beloved Platinum Wedding Band Recovered by Member of THE RING FINDERS Brian Rudolph at Arlington Virginia Park

Mark Excitedly Holding Up His Sentimental Keepsake After Detectorist Rudolph Returns the Wedding Ring to the Happy Owner!

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

I received a call from a gentleman named Mark who had lost his wedding band at Fort C.F. Smith Park in Arlington, Virginia the night before he contacted me. He said he was with his wife Padma, their daughter, and some friends enjoying a dinner picnic on a blanket celebrating the Hindu festival of lights called Diwali. This is one of the major festivals celebrated by not only Hindus, but also Jains and Sikhs. The festival usually lasts five days and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika.

Just as the family was about to leave the park, Mark realized that his beloved platinum wedding band was missing from his finger. It was ironic because he had been thinking earlier on during their social time on the blanket just how careful he needed to be with his ring because he noticed how loose it was. Unfortunately, during the next hour or so of searching in the dark with phone flashlights, neither Mark nor his wife Padma or any of the others with them could find the missing sentimental keepsake.

Mark and his wife left the park empty-handed and drove home with the plan of returning the next morning to continue their search. They also ordered a metal detector that would be arriving in the next day or two. If Mark could not find the band, he would return for a third visit with the detector in order to scan more of the grass.

Sometime that same night before the couple headed to bed, Mark decided that perhaps utilizing a professional metal detectorist in the Arlington, Virginia area would help better his chances for recovering the lost keepsake. That was about the time when Mark discovered the elite international metal detectorist directory called THE RING FINDERS. Like most, he was not aware that such a directory existed and this was his best opportunity to call upon an expert in the field of finding lost rings. I was contacted at that point and immediately we scheduled for me to conduct a search the following day.

As the sun was rising in the east the next morning, I started my drive to Fort C.F. Smith Park in Arlington, Virginia. I couldn’t wait to start searching for the platinum piece! Mark gave me information as to where he and his group were sitting on the grass. When I arrived, we had a video conference call so that the gentleman could guide me around and show me where they were parked, the places where his family walked and played and most importantly – the locations where everyone was picnicking.

Mark shared with me a few important details regarding not only where he moved about, but also the fact that he could have lost the ring while playing with his daughter. He put her on his back a few times and twirled her around on the grass. He also told me that he had collected the trash from the picnic area and placed the bags alongside the trash can because it was completely full with garbage. He was pretty certain that the bags would still be there in the morning when I arrived. Thankfully, Mark was correct – all of the trash that he had collected the night before was still in the bag resting beside the park’s garbage can.

Once I got completely oriented, I started metal detecting on and around the parking lot. I wanted to make sure that the most vulnerable areas where people could eyeball a ring would be scanned over first. When nothing turned up, I searched around the grass near where Mark and Padma parked their car. Next, I went through their bag of trash to make certain that the loose fitting band didn’t end up inside with the throwaways. Still, I did not find the cherished piece of jewelry.

After exhausting all of my efforts in the areas that I mentioned above, I was quite confident that unless the ring had ended up on the parking lot concrete and was picked up by someone, the wedding band most likely slipped off of Mark’s finger somewhere on the grassy area where they ate or played. That was my final section of the park that needed to be searched and most likely where the ring got lost.

So, I started my grid lines on the grass from the main park building that was set back a bit from the rest of the lawn, all the way over to a huge old tree that was located more to the center of the estate grounds. In minutes, I would be detecting over the exact spot where the group had been picnicking on their blanket.

During my first few grid line passes I did get a few decent targets to analyze, but nothing good enough to be a surface find. I kept at it until perhaps I was half way across my fifth grid line or so (approximately fifteen feet away from the giant tree), when all of a sudden I got the perfect signal popping on my machine! There was a certain skipping tone that sounded off in my headphones and I was quite certain that I had found what I had been commissioned to recover. I knelt down on the grass and with my handheld detector, I carefully scanned that section of grass where the target was first heard. Suddenly, there it was! Hiding under the many blades of grass, I discovered the shiny platinum wedding ring! There it was all along! Just feet from where Mark, Padma and their daughter hung out to celebrate Diwali with their friends, I discovered that very special, irreplaceable keepsake!

I could not have been more happy for Mark! It was such a gratifying experience to check out all of the possible places where the ring may have ended up, and then to find it in the last possible section of real estate in that park – it was exhilarating!

Because I was there at the park without my client, I set up another video conference with Mark and it was then that I had some fun surprising him with the fantastic news! He could not have been more happy to find out that I was able to successfully recover the lost ring! He said that he was additionally excited to return the metal detector that was expected to arrive sometime in the early afternoon that same day!

When I finished up on the phone with Mark, I packed up my gear and headed towards my vehicle. The whole way back to Maryland was just a wonderful experience reflecting on how successful the morning had ended up! I believe it was later that day that I had the opportunity of personally returning the ring to Mark. We shook hands, took some pictures together and then parted ways once and for all. He could not stop thanking me and was so appreciative of what I was able to accomplish at the park! My client was beyond grateful that I was able to preserve such a special story that was reflective of that very moment when Padma placed the platinum “halo” upon her husband-to-be’s finger on their very special wedding day many years earlier!

Lost Key Fob! Alberta Ave Neighborhood, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

 

  

When I received a call from Candace she sounded very frustrated! She told me that she was out shoveling snow the other day and had lost her only Key fob to her car. Candace told me that she had checked with the dealer and the cost to replace the key fob was $700.00 and that it would take approximately one month to receive one. With the resent snow fall the city of Edmonton would implement a street parking ban which would be another cost to her making it a very expensive loss if the fob was not found. I met Candace at her residence and I could see where she had been looking for the fob along her side walk. She told me she had been looking for a few hours with no luck! She showed me the area that she was positive the fob could be. Within a ½ hour I found her fob in the snow bank at the opposite end of her sidewalk where she had searched. Her smile says everything. Thank you Candace for entrusting me to find your key fob.
