Lost Pinky Ring in CDA Idaho… FOUND!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

The memories of David’s late mother were swimming around in his head, as David’s dad and David looked through his mom’s jewelry. Just as a bold three diamond gold ring came in view. David quickly recalled his mom wearing it. As if she was there putting it on for an outing David slipped it over his pinky ring seamlessly. There the ring had found a home again. The Ring went with David out to the back patio that night. As David picked up and threw a ball, the ring flew off David’s finger. Raking and using a cheap detector, David looked for his lost ring. After the ring eluded David, he found me on the Ring Finders. I picked up his call and made plans after work. How the ring was lost and where it might have gone were discussed. With the Minelab on, I made an arching grid. Within a few passes a 16-17 signal showed up. It wasn’t deep so I knew his ring could be in sight. That it was, I looked down and saw the ring.  We both were shocked and after photos we had a good chat about our past loved ones. Thank you man for the tip and trusting The Ring Finders.

Lost Gold and Diamond Wedding Band Honeymoon Island State Park, Fl. …Found!!!

“It’s only lost until I find it!”

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

Recently I saw a post on a local social media discussion page where a visitor to Honeymoon Island State Park named Jeff had lost his wedding band in the water in the Oasis Beach section.  I also noticed that several people who had responded to Jeff’s post had recommended my services. I reached out to Jeff on the post and he messaged my page with the loss details.  Jeff and his wife Kim live about two hours away in the Villages but he was able to provide me with some details about the loss location including some photos. Jeff explained that he was in the water about 10 to 15 feet right of a dune line tree and felt his ring slip off in waist deep water.

The next day I arrived at the loss location with my wife Jan as my “direction” assistant, fired up my Minelab Equinox 900, and began yet another water search for the “needle in the haystack”. A water search is especially challenging when you don’t have the person who lost the ring with you on site to provide an even more precise location but Jan and I were convinced we were in the right spot. I searched for about three hours, ever expanding out from where I began, using shore markers to try to not go over the same ground twice but because you can’t grid search in the water like you can on land, this is almost impossible. I dug a few trashy targets while I searched because when I’m searching for a gold ring, I dig every target. At almost the three hour mark and slightly north of where I began my search, I hit a promising target. After several sandy scoops, out popped the same white gold and diamond ring in Jeff’s photo! I messaged Jeff a photo and simply said “Found It!”. Obviously Jeff and Kim were thrilled and amazed that I was able to recover Jeff’s ring but to be honest it never ceases to amaze me either because no matter how much time you spend with good equipment, you still have to pass close enough to detect the item you’re looking for. Many call that “luck”; I choose to believe there is a little “divine guidance” involved. We set up a time about two weeks later when Jeff and Kim would back be in the area for the return.

Jeff and Kim, thank you for the generous reward and for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder to find your ring. I was so blessed to have found it!

Lost Rings Rain When It Pours – Emerald Isle,NC Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Katie was spending some rest & relaxation from school with some friends along the Emerald Isle beach.  There was a plastic bag they placed jewelry in before swimming.  A quick downpour of rain came in and as they scampered to gather their gear and run for cover, 5 of Katie’s rings fell into the sand.  Katie was very upset when she phoned her mother to explain what had happed.  Her mother contacted me and while Katie and her friends searched for the rings.  A few minutes had passed until I received word they were able to find 4 of the 5 rings.  The last missing ring was a sentimental gold ring.  After a few messages, I started my way to Emerald Isle.  Katie lead me to the area of the beach and I switched on my metal detector and went to work.  The first target was a small piece of ship copper and the second was Katie’s fifth and final ring.

Lost Diamond Ring – Dauphin Island, Alabama

Contact:

A heavy thunderstorm had just blown over the island and another round was on its way. Just as the rain slacked off between storms I got a phone call from Jeremy who was visiting from Florida. It was their anniversary and he had just given his wife Jenny a beautiful new diamond wedding set. As the storm blew in, they were frantically trying to get their beach tent and belongings off the beach and under the shelter of the house. Jenny told me she remembered wiping her hands on her pants and then realizing the slightly too big diamond ring was no longer on her finger. They had combed through the sand for about an hour before finding my Ringfinders bio and giving me a call.

Luckily, I was about 6 miles away and the rain had almost stopped so I grabbed my gear and ran out the door. I got there, listened to her story and started swinging. I silently whispered a prayer to find it before it started storming again ! Within the first 15 seconds I heard that familiar “could be a pull tab; could be a gold ring” tone in my headphones. A few gentle shakes of my scoop and there was Jenny’s new ring sparkling in the bottom.

Not all jewelry recoveries are that easy and fun, but that one sure was !

Sewer Clean Out, Surf City, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Ring Finder LBI What a wonderful weekend it was going to be, fantastic weather, great company, car is all unloaded, and just sitting on the outside on the deck, having a cold drink, enjoying the ocean breeze, when a voice from inside hollers, “we have a problem” !!!! Linda went inside to see what I might be, and it was most peoples nightmare, a clogged toilet. One would think this is an easy fix, but unfortunately it was not. After 2 days of trying to plunge the clog, it was now backing up in the downstairs laundry slop sink. A local plumber on LBI come out to assess the situation, unfortunately without locating the outside cleanout he was not able to finish the job. She called the guy he recommended who handles much lager jobs, and would be equipped with a 200′ snake. Once again, without the location of the outside cleanout he was not able to do anything either. That’s where I come into play. After 2 days, Linda called me wondering if I was able to locate a sewer cleanout. My concern was, if it was all plastic my equipment would not be helpful. After a short conversation, I headed out to try and help. After looking the entire plumbing situation over, I received many possible signals, in the area the cleanout should be. After quite a bit of digging, the cleanout was located, and now Linda could have the plumber return to snake out the entire line. This was a “stinky” situation to start of the weekend, but ended up on a positive note.

Gold Wedding Ring Lost From Cooler Bag On Emerald Isle Beach…Found!!!

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Liz messaged me in the morning to explain she is missing her gold wedding band.  She placed the rings and her glasses in a soft beach cooler bag pouch.  It was later she went to retrieve her glasses and found one of the rings, a heirloom gold wedding band from her grandmother, was missing.  I was nearby with all of my equipment and headed there as soon as I could get to their beach house.  She explained the area saying the moved around a bit and the cooler had tumbled over a few times.

After getting a good idea of the search area, I started from the furthest point and worked my way towards the beach hose doing a square line grid search.  After digging some garbage and finishing the area, still no ring to be found.  I then expanded the area and after the 2nd pass in the expanded grid, I was able to pull Liz’s ring up from the shallow sand.

My wife and I recently were in Texas for about six weeks for the birth of our second grandson. I received several messages from individuals who had lost jewelry in the water at Honeymoon Island. Because I knew I would not be returning for several more weeks, I needed to call upon some experienced, trustworthy detectorists to conduct searches for these lost items as soon as possible and before they were found by someone who would not return them.

Jim contacted me to say that he had lost his white and yellow gold wedding band in shallow water at Pet Beach, Honeymoon Island State Park. Jim and his wife BJ were enjoying the day and the water but Jim had slipped on the rocks and shells in calf deep water and had fallen to his hands, losing his ring in the process. Because I was still in Texas, I messaged the Pinellas County Florida Ring Recovery group and over the course of the next few days several detectorists (Scott, Brenda, and Jason) searched for the ring. Jim had met Scott on site and showed him where he thought he lost the ring but the ring could not be found. Because Jim was so certain of where he had lost the ring, we all assumed that the ring had been found by another detectorist.

I returned from Texas a few days later and Jim reached out to me and asked if I could meet him at the beach for one last search. I agreed and arrived at the loss location about twenty minutes before he did. I turned on my Minelab Equinox 900 and began a grid search of the wet sand walking north and after a few minutes hit a target that I thought was in the rusty beer cap range. As I began to dig, some curious beach goers came up to see what I was doing. With my second scoop out popped Jim’s ring! I was shocked that it was still there after several weeks although it was a little further north and a little closer to shore than I thought it would be. The beach goers were very excited after I told them the story and they agreed to sit quietly and watch me surprise Jim when he arrived. Jim walked up to me a few minutes later and after introductions I asked him to point out to me where he thought he had lost his ring. Jim pointed in the general direction of the hole I had just pulled the ring from! I took Jim’s ring out of my pocket and asked him if this is what it looked like. Jim was initially speechless and the beach goers burst into applause.

Thanks to my fellow detectorists from Pinellas County Florida Ring Recovery for assisting with the search. And thanks to Jim for the generous reward and for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder to find your ring. I was so blessed to have found it!

RINGS TOSSED INTO CARTERET COUNTY CANAL FOUND WITH METAL DETECTOR

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

We all have done things we later regretted, and this recovery story is one of those instances that has happened more often than one may think.  Because of these 2 rings being intentionally thrown into a canal, I will change the names of the party involved on their request.

While driving back from my local hardware store, I received a call from “Mrs. Smith”.  She inquired about my recovery service and conveyed a sense of urgency for my assistance.  Without very little to go on, she mentioned there were 2 gold rings lost in a canal.  I informed her because of the heat, I don’t travel with my equipment in my truck and would need to go home before heading her way.

Upon arriving, the couple were both outside and met me to explain what happened.  “Mr. Smith” informed me that he took both, his and her, rings and threw them into the canal behind their home.  I didn’t inquire any further as my only business was to find and return both rings.  I asked about the depth and knew it was after low tide there so I would need to get busy or possibly in water too deep to effectively dig.  After getting an idea of what I should wear and the type of equipment needed to use on this soft bottom with scattered oyster shells, I jumped into the surprisingly warm water and started my best to grid the area Mr. Smith pointed out.  About 10 minutes later, I was able to pull Mr. Smiths gold band from about 4 foot of water.  We thought both rings would be near each other, and this was not the case as Mr. Smith threw them from a long distance.  Mrs. Smith’s ring was small and I was getting numerous other signals that either were too deep or small trash.  More minutes past as the couple both sat along the water waiting patiently in the hot sun.  I finally received a steady signal from about 4 ½ foot of water and brought the target to the surface.  After cleaning most of the smelly mud from my sand scoop, I noticed a small gold circle laying in the scoop.  I turned to the couple and gave them a big smile.   Both of their tossed & lost rings were returned.  Mrs. Smith wanted this whole event to be private and I respect her decision and she permitted a picture of the 2 rings and a shot of me kneeling in front of the canal where I made the recovery.

Wedding ring lost in a car, found!

  • from Oregon City (Oregon, United States)
Contact:

I received a message from Bharti saying she had found me on theringfinders.com, asking if I could help find her husband’s wedding ring.
I messaged back asking for some details. She told me had fallen below the driver’s seat of their car. I told her that a metal detector would be of limited use, due to the confined space, and mixed metals in the vehicle construction. I let her know I had an endoscope camera I could use to look around under the seat, and gave some suggestions to aid their search.

Bharti Told me they had received a’snake camera’ but had no luck with it. She thought maybe my expertise and experience might find the ring.

We agreed on a time to meet, and when I arrived, I met Bharti and her husband.

After removing all the floor mats, I looked under the seat with a bright LED flashlight. Finding nothing, I activated my endoscope and IPad and started probing around.
The rails, under the carpet, and vents found nothing, so I pushed the camera into some plastic trim pieces.

Under the right side of the driver’s seat, I saw a slight glimmer of gold, and when I twisted the camera, the plastic flexed, and out popped the ring.

Expertise, experience, or luck? Don’t know, but a wedding ring reunited.

 

 

It was up there

Custom Gold Wedding Band Lost In Lac Ste Anne Lake, Gunn Alberta,

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Megan called me yesterday afternoon requesting my service to locate her husband’s custom gold wedding band lost in the lake.  After asking Megan my usual questions I agreed to drive out.

I meet Megan at her cabin and we drove down to the boat launch.  Megan showed me the area off the dock where the ring could possibly be as her husband, Stephen, had been kayaking and when he returned he capsized the kayak in approximately 3 feet of water.  Stephen discovered his wedding band had fallen off his finger into the lake.

Megan and Stephen seached the lake bottom for two hours with no luck! I searched along the dock where they said the ring could be and all I was finding was trash. I could see on Megans face when I scooped the junk up how disappointed she was.  She was slowly loosing hope that the ring would not be found.

Megan had taken photos of Stephen in the kayak, he had the ring on and he was close to the dock where he had tipped the kayak.  After studying the photo I was convinced the ring had fallen off around fifteen feet away from the dock and not close to the dock.

I expanded my search outwards and recived the sound I had been looking for!  When I reached down with my pin-pointer, it was Stephen’s ring! Megan was over the moom that I had found his ring and that it was back on his finger.

Thank you Megan and Stephan, for entrusting me to find your ring.
