Gold Promise Ring Lost! Ermineskin Neighbourhood, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

I received a phone call and text late last night, but I was unfortunately unavailable. I responded with a text message first thing this morning.

Marcus requested my service to recover his lost promise ring, I understand he was brushing snow off his vehicle seat when the ring flew off his finger. He heard it ping inside the vehicle but couldn’t locate it, and then spent an hour searching the parking lot without success.

We arranged a meeting this morning, but a different vehicle was parked where his vehicle had been. After Marcus explained the situation again, I searched inside his vehicle  and immediate area without finding the ring. Marcus then showed me a photo of where his vehicle had been parked, and I determined the ring must be underneath the vehicle that was parked on the spot where his vehicle was last night.

We discussed the possibility of the vehicle owner being a visitor or employee in the complex. I suggested we either contact each office in the complex to find the owner or wait for them to appear, which could take all day.

Fortunately, we were able to locate the owner quickly, and she kindly moved her vehicle. My first sweep with my metal detector located his ring, Marcus was ectatic to have his ring back on his finger.

Thank you for entrusting me to find your ring. It was my pleasure to assist you.

Taylor was working with his buddies Donald and Matthew on a job site building a new fence. The site was next to a fire station that serves the town of Babcock Ranch, Fl. which is the first solar powered town in the United States and located near Punta Gorda. Taylor was clearing some brush and tossing it into a pile when at some point he realized that his gold and diamond wedding band appraised at about $4000 that he had only had for about eight months had flown off of his finger into the brush and grass. He and his friends searched for the ring two days including raking the grass and cut brush as well as using an inexpensive metal detector but were unable to find his ring. Taylor began searching on line for some help, found me on social media and called me. I normally travel no more than an hour or so from Dunedin in the Tampa area to conduct searches and Babcock Ranch was a little over two hours from my home but I decided to drive down to see if I could recover Taylor’s ring. I also had another search I could do for a lost gold charm on the return home.

I met Taylor at the site, fired up the Minelab Equinox 900, and began the search under Taylor’s direction. I swept a grassy, weedy area next to the fire station in a grid fashion and worked my way towards a very low concrete wall where the fence was being constructed on the other side. I detected some scrap metal pieces including a few screws and washers as well as several rusty pennies over the course of about an hour and even though I had an idea of the VDI number I was looking for on my detector, I was going to dig every surface or near surface target. Taylor and his friends continued to work and watch at the same time especially when I was digging a target. I could tell that Taylor was beginning to get a little concerned because the primary search area was not very large and I was almost finished. I then detected a strong surface target over a  cut grassy area that displayed 36-37 on my Nox 900. I pushed away the loose grass with my pinpointer and there lay Taylor’s shiny ring staring back at me! I called to Taylor who was working close by and told him to come over. He stared down at the ring with a look of surprise and disbelief and then all four of us began to celebrate. Taylor then called Katie who had given him the ring and she was overjoyed with the news. And they are expecting their first child!

Taylor, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find your wedding ring! It was a pleasure meeting you, Donald and Matthew. Matt, good luck with your fishing charter business Southwest Shorelines!

Wedding ring found after clearing snow from a Tesla in Emmaus, Pennsylvania

  • from Reading (Pennsylvania, United States)

After clearing snow from his car without gloves on, Troy shook off his hands and his wedding ring went flying off into the snow. He first tried finding it himself with a metal detector from Harbor Freight, but was getting all kids of interference. He found me on Theringfinders.com and after a few days of scheduling conflicts, I was finally able to arrive and search with my Garrett ATPro detector. I also was getting a lot of interference, and realized I was near his Tesla which was plugged in. I had him move his car from the driveway and the interference subsided. I eventually found the ring alongside a tree in the snow. If your in need of metal detectorist, don’t hesitate to call me at 610-207-8677.

 

Wedding Ring Found – Clayton!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

We don’t get much snow here in this part of NC, so two small snows in the span of about 10 days was pretty unusual. Even more unusual was the call I got from Alex, who had lost his wedding ring while sledding! Alex’s neighborhood has some hills, but unfortunately his property isn’t situated the right way, so he was sledding on a neighbor’s property. After one of the sledding runs, his hands were wet and when he shook the water off, the ring made a quick exit onto the hillside. Alex had secured a metal detector to try and find the ring himself, but had not had any luck; at that point, he contacted me. To his credit, he made a note of several nearby visible features, so when he took me to the area where he thought the ring would/should be, I had a solid starting point based on his landmarks.

The grass was similar to what you’d find on a golf course fairway, and being wintertime, it was all brown. It only took 15 minutes or so to locate the ring, which was — surprisingly! — very close to where he thought it had come off. The ring had fallen through the dead layer of grass and was sitting flat on the soil, maybe 3 inches below the top of the grass. Those of us on TheRingfinders joke that « it’s never where they think it is », so it was refreshing to find Alex’s lost ring quickly and easily. The sooner I can get the lost item back to the owner, the better. Another happy ending!

Matt and his family were attending the New Year’s Day Dolphin Dip on Surf City beach. This event draws a large crowd to take a polar plunge into the cold Atlantic Ocean’s water. Matt removed necklace and stored it out of sight, and when it was time to leave, he left the area without his necklace. He returned a short time afterward to find dredge pipes laying where his family had their belongings.
This necklace holds great meaning for Matt. His grandfather purchased identical necklaces for the grandsons during a trip to Norway when Matt was just a boy. Being a boy, he lost his necklace shortly afterward. After Matt’s brother passed away, Matt began wearing his brother’s necklace in remembrance of both his brother grandfather.
Matt reached out to Crystal Coast Ring. dredge pipes had been moved, and a search began shortly. Though he wasn’t present, Matt provided detailed information and a of where to search. It wasn’t long before Matt’s valuable necklace was found.

  • from Moose Jaw (Saskatchewan, Canada)

Karl called and said he lost his gold wedding ring in the snow when he was brushing the show off his hands on the boulevard in front of his house. He had searched the area with no luck and his wife found my name on the Ring Finders.

I made the trek 4 hours to Brandon, Manitoba, on my day off it was -24 degrees Celsius. Searching the boulevard, it was covered in 11 inches of frozen snow. After two false readings near what should be gold on the metal detector the ring was found in the ice on the road in the curb area.

Thank you, Karl, on the opportunity to find your gold wedding ring.

LOST WEDDING BAND IN NEW IBERIA, LA.-FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Lani’s husband lost his black tungsten wedding band in a field near their home. They searched with and without a metal detector for a week. I got the call, and once I had an understanding of the job, made the 45-minute trip to the location. I met with Lani to go over the area where the ring was lost. I laid out a search area of about 1000 square feet. The first half was dry, the second had 1″ of water with the grass being about 4 inches tall. The whole area was trash-free, so all sounds were taken seriously.  About halfway thru the second half (the wet one) I got a strong 48 reading on my Garrett. Had to move grass and poke around with the pin-pointer for the ring.  Lani was very happy and so was I. Thank you, Lani, for the generous reward.

Platinum and Gold Wedding Band Lost During Hurricane Milton Evacuation…Found with Metal Detector in Seminole, Fl.!!

Melissa and her family evacuated her home in Seminole. Fl. as powerful Hurricane Milton was threatening the area. Included in their preparations was removing the fish from their aquarium and Melissa had remembered removing her wedding ring and placing it in her jacket pocket to do this. Melissa then made a number of trips to place personal items in their cars before leaving the house. She also walked next door to check with her neighbors to see if they might secure their trash cans. It was dark by that time and as she was walking over she kicked something in the driveway that she thought at the time was a rock. It was sometime after Melissa was at her mother’s home where she had evacuated that she realized that her precious ring was no longer in her jacket pocket! After the threat of the storm was over, Melissa searched her home and yard as well as the edge of her neighbor’s yard for the ring but was unable to locate it. She was also concerned of the possibility that the ring in her pocket got hung up in a tissue also in her pocket that she later threw away.

About three months later, Melissa saw the story of my most recent ring recovery on a local social media page and found out about the metal detecting services I offered. She messaged me and we set up a time for me to search. I met Melissa and after she provided me the details of the loss, I began my search of the yard (which was small with a circular driveway) on the side yard and then moved to the front yard beginning with the strip of grass between the sidewalk and grass. I had only dug a few targets including several pieces of scrap metal and a penny. I did not have the husband’s matching wedding ring to provide me with a good target number to look for on my detector display and the ring was a mixture of platinum and gold so I was going to dig every target close to the surface. As I got close to the driveway I detected a solid surface target that rang up 71-72 on my Minelab Equinox 900 detector. Melissa had just stepped inside her home for a minute and as I probed into the grass with my handheld pinpointer, I spotted Melissa’s beautiful ring nestled well down into the grass and about half buried. I went to Melissa’s door and when she opened it I told her that I think I found what we were looking for! We walked over and I pulled the ring out of the grass where it had laid for over three months and handed it to her and Melissa began crying tears of joy. For me, the first “rush” comes with the find and the second one comes when I give the ring back to its owner. This never gets old!

Melissa, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find your wedding ring!

LOST 14k WHITE GOLD RING IN KANAPOLIS, NC…..FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Got a text from a gentleman on Friday last week, saying he had lost his wedding ring in the yard. Snow was coming in and we had to push it out until I was off work.

Drove out this morning and got the backstory. He had gone to clean out the chicken coop. He had had gloves on and as he was walking back to the building he took them off. At that point is when the ring fell off. They searched and searched and couldn’t find it.

The area that we both felt it had to have been lost in was full of 14k gold ring signals, ground was frozen and it had some ice/snow still in this area.

After about 2 hours, I finally got a good pull tab signal and look down and I could see the ring in the ice!!!

Lost gold ring found in London

  • from London (Ontario, Canada)

Driving along on the freeway, this gentleman had a welding mask fly out of the truck in front of him that actually got lodged under his car. So he had to pull over on the snow covered shoulder and dislodge this mask from under his car. Unfortunately, while doing so, his wedding ring had come off. His wife helped him look for his ring for an hour, but luck was not on their side. The next day he had found me online, and we set a time to meet up on the highway. I’m glad to say he will be taking his wedding ring home today!
