My wife and I were working to redirect some water flow from a large rainstorm in our backyard. While doing so, My Wife’s wedding ring slipped off her finger and into the muddy water. After hours and hours of searching we had no luck ( Even with our rented Metal Detector). We reached out to Jeremy and he was out the following day. He found her ring within 20/25 minutes!
Sometimes a single Facebook post can set an entire chain of events in motion.
A few days ago, my wife shared photos from a previous recovery mission — one of those truly memorable ones, when we managed to find a wedding ring that had disappeared in the snow. That post reached farther than we expected.
Suddenly, an acquaintance reached out to her. Another ring had gone missing — this time on a small beach, about an hour and a half from our home. The owner, Urban, was devastated and hoped we might be able to help.
So we packed the car, loaded the gear, and hit the road.
When we arrived, Urban was waiting for us. He pointed out the spot and explained how the ring had slipped off his finger and vanished into the sand and water. I pulled on my drysuit, set up my Minelab Excalibur, and began scanning the area methodically.
It didn’t take long. Maybe ten minutes.
A clear, solid signal — the kind you recognize instantly. I dug carefully, and there it was. The wedding band. Intact, beautiful, and ready to go home again.
Urban was overjoyed. That mix of relief, happiness, and gratitude is hard to describe, but it’s exactly what makes this work so meaningful.
And it all started with a Facebook post.
Social media can be many things — but sometimes, it’s pure magic.
Received a call from a man in Naperville, Illinois.
Lost his 22k Gold Wedding band while playing cricket in a field last night.
He purchased a metal detector but did not have any success.
After gridding out 4 corners in the field, I got lucky and started in the right corner, found it in about 10 minutes.
Received a call from a man that lost his wedding ring while shoveling light snow.
Told me he felt it slip off, Thought this would be a quick and easy search, however he must have shoveled it and tossed it because I found it on the opposite side of the driveway that he thought it won on. Beautiful ring with intricate engraving inside.
Happy ending, that’s all that counts.
Charissa was trying to get her cat out of a tree in her back yard. Shaking a branch did not work so she climbed in the tree and finally was successful. After getting back on the ground, she realized her diamond ring was not on her finger. She looked for it around the tree without luck. We then got the call for help. We had her describe where she had walked in the yard and climbed in the tree before she noticed the ring was gone. We hunted the area for about a half hour before Carrie found it. The odd thing was, we both had searched that area before Carrie located it. The area was where she had held onto a small branch and shook it in an attempt to scare the cat. As hard as it is to imagine, did the ring get stuck on that branch and fall after we had both made a first pass through that area? Either that or we’re really not that good.
Received a call from a woman in Alsip, lost her heirloom ring while playing in the yard with her children. Told me it has been in the family for decades.
They searched the night before for over 4 hours with a flashlight with no success. It was hidden in the snow pretty good, they never would have seen it.
Just so happy to get it back to her.
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!
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!
