Two Gold Wedding Rings Recovered in Siler City!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Luke, who was vacationing in North Carolina from West Virginia. Quoting from Luke’s original text, « I lost not 1 but 2 wedding bands in the yard at our Airbnb in Siler City ». Apparently Luke lost his ring playing in the yard and someone in the group declared it shouldn’t be that hard to find a ring in the grass. That led to his wife’s ring being tossed out into the grass to show how easy it would be to find, which is how Luke got to the situation he was in. Anyway, Luke and I spoke and he cleared it with the landlord for me to go out and search. He had sent me a map of the backyard and had marked the area where he thought I should search. I found her ring after about an hour and a half (the yard was filled with pop tops, bottle caps, nails, screws, etc.), but it took me probably another 30 minutes to find his ring. I sent Luke this picture of the two recovered rings and we made arrangements for me to ship them back to him in West Virginia. Although I didn’t get to hand the rings to Luke and his wife, it was still a nice recovery and nice long-distance happy ending!

Lake St.Louis Lost Wedding Band

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I was cleaning the gutters, not wearing gloves (lesson learned) and as I threw the debris, my wedding ring slid off my finger and went with the debris into an area of Ivey. In that environment, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Jeremy Roth of Ringfinders to the rescue. He found the ring along with a few other items overgrown by the ivey. Just in time to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary!

Sentimental Gold Ring Lost in Snow – Recovered in Coon Rapids, Minnesota

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:
I received a call from a gentleman in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, who had lost two precious rings three days earlier. We all know that heart-sinking feeling when something near and dear to us goes missing—or we’ve seen it happen to someone we care about. He managed to recover one ring fairly quickly, but the second one remained elusive. He’d already put in over six hours searching through the snow without success. Frustrated, he even purchased a metal detector from Harbor Freight, only to find it added to his challenges rather than solving them. Many people who lose a ring rush to buy, rent, or borrow a metal detector, assuming they’ll just turn it on and it will beep right over their lost item. While that can happen, more often newcomers are overwhelmed by the constant signals from metal debris in the ground. Anywhere people frequently pass—sidewalks, yards, parks—you’ll encounter pull tabs, foil, nails, and cans. All of that beeps! The real skill in metal detecting lies in experience: interpreting tones, distinguishing trash from treasure, and pushing through the learning curve. As I often tell people, « If you wouldn’t bend over to pick up a penny you spot on the sidewalk, metal detecting might not be for you. » Digging a penny from 3-4 inches deep trains you to recognize those subtle differences—iron grunts differently from a gold ring, which can sound similar to a pull tab. When you’ve just lost a sentimental item, that’s not the ideal time to learn a new detector. That’s when calling an experienced detectorist makes all the difference. In this case, as I entered the search area he’d been working, the very first strong, repeatable tone I got was just inches from where he’d been focusing. The signal was clean and promising—I suspected it was the ring, though you never know until you dig (it could have been junk like part of a muffler). I pinpointed it, gently raked through the crusted snow with a small hand tool, moved about an inch and a half of snow, and there it was: the beautiful gold sheen of his sentimental ring. The recovery took less than two minutes from start to finish. Not every search is this quick—many require hours of patient gridding and digging trash targets. But after enough hunts, you earn those occasional « easy » wins. They’re the ones you appreciate most, because you know the next call might demand far more effort. I was thrilled to return this very meaningful ring to its owner and see the relief on his face. These reunions are why so many of us love being part of TheRingFinders.com—helping preserve irreplaceable stories and memories. If you’ve lost a ring or jewelry in snow, grass, water, or anywhere else, don’t wait—contact a local Ring Finder today!

Lost Ring Rescued After Playing Football in Stevens Point Yard

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Cerria contacted me via text on October 15th requesting my help to help recover a ring she lost throwing the football around with one of her sons a few days ago. She mentioned « I lost the ring in my yard. I was wearing two rings on the same finger. I found one that landed and rolled on the concrete…this was a heavier one. The other, I have had not any luck finding and assuming the ring landed in the grass. I’m devastated. It’s a thinner gold ring with diamonds. » We agreed on a time to meet on Friday AM, October 17th. Like a good detective. I always try to ask good questions and had Cierra recreate the activity. She suggested I look in the same area where the heavier ring was found. I looked thoroughly…The grass was sod and very, very thick. I expected the ring be a « surface » find but stuck and hidden under the heavy grass. I recovered the ring about a foot off from the edge of the driveway where she was throwing the football to her son. Cierra was more than happy with plenty of smiles to go around.

Contact:

Received a call from a man in Wilmette Illinois, he lost his wedding band when he threw a ball for his dog.

There was about 40ft of very heavy brush that had to be searched, almost impossible for a metal detector.

I searched as long as I could with a detector then switched to a pinpointer, took 2-1/2 hours but

finally found it with the pinpointer.  He was a very happy camper!!

Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

James contacted me and told me that his wife had lost her ring in the front yard. It was yellow gold with a solitaire. He said it had been lost for around two months and they had rented a metal detector with no luck. When I got there I asked all of the usual questions that I always do. She said they had been arguing and she threw the ring across the front yard, and where she had been standing. This is always a great help, because it gives me a better idea where to look. I started my grid search in the likely area, and had made two passes across the yard. About one forth of the way back across the yard on the third pass, I got a solid 19 on my Manticore. It was the ring, but after two months it was already completely covered and not visible. The actual search time was less that fifteen minutes.

WASHINGTON,MO

 

While watching my oldest daughter at soccer practice, my two year old ran towards her on the field; to avoid her being trampled by enthusiastic players, I picked her up. I instantly notice my rose gold wedding band slip off my finger. Within minutes, the whole team, the coach, and a group of helpful parents search the area. After an hour of searching, we gave up. The next morning, I purchased my own metal detector and searched the area for hours with no luck. I found Jeremy on the ring finder website, and he was confident he could find it. After searching the soccer field for a while, he was able to find my ring!9

Lost Earring While Gardening

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

Got a call from a wonderful, beautiful senior citizen who lost her valuable gold earring she has had for 52 years from her late-husband. After several days of searching and even having a neighbor with a metal detector come over to assist they were unable to locate the missing item.  She said ‘my heart is so sad’.  After checking the internet she found The Ring Finders and gave us a call, which we immediately responded. In just a few minutes we were able to locate the earring under the thick grass at the edge of her beautiful garden. With tears in her eyes she held the item next to her heart and thanked us over and over.  God we love what we do.
