This gold ring was a promise ring from 60 years ago, very sentimental to say the least! After slipping it on to her grandchild’s finger and a quick run around in the back yard, the ring just seemed to have come off and disappear. I was contacted and made my way over to North London. After about 10 minutes I picked up that solid tone I love. What a gift for her on Mothers day! So glad I could help.
Carly contacted me about finding her grandmother’s signet ring. She lost it in a vacant lot while tossing an ice bag to a friend. This was one of the fastest ring finds I’ve ever had. She put me right on top of it and was very grateful to have her special ring back.
We got a call on Easter Sunday afternoon from a very upset gentleman. He was at a family gathering for Easter and a water balloon fight broke out. Rewind a moment …to earlier that day the Grandma of the family had passed along to her 14yr old Granddaughter a Gold & Diamond Ring she had been wearing for over 60 years, she told her Granddaughter to keep it safe and to pass it down to her children one day. Then, a little later, the water balloon fight broke out with all the family members. Lots of laughter, everyone was soaked, everyone so happy and then the granddaughter SCREEMED « my ring is gone! ». Everyone dropped to their knees and began searching. The father jumped on the Internet looking for a solution and found « The Ring Finders » website. He gave me a call and it just so happened we lived on 11 miles away. So Ellen & I jumped into the truck and drove over. When we arrived 3 family members were still searching the yard. Ellen & I began our search over lapping each pass. We checked the field beyond the house and got permission to go over to the neighbors on both sides in case it flew over the fence. We even used our camera system to check the gutters on the home to no avail.
We decided to make one more pass over the backyard area where the granddaughter had spend most her time. And on my next to last row/pass, I got a signal that should not have been her ring but then I saw it…
Easter Celebration was saved.. smilies and hugs and tears thanks to the Ring Finders…. It was a Easter to remember.
Got a call from from a lady who had been repotting ferns in her backyard and when she came inside she noticed her ring was gone. After frantically searching for her ring with no luck, she called The Ring Finders. Upon arrival we were able to recheck all her potted ferns(many) and were able to find her beautiful diamond ring….. Client was in tears and insisted on hugging us both. We do so love our hobby/business… 
After a great day on the water at Joe Pool Lake, the client placed his wedding on a Yellow and Black Container and set it up on the dock. He then set his Wedding Band on the Container and continue
d clearing out his boat. Finding one more item he reached over the edge and opened the Container and saw his Wedding Ring slip off into the lake. After finding us on the Ring Finders Website we had him measure the depth of the water. But amazing it s 26ft deep. A very deep Dive for our area in total darkness. Upon arrival we set a drop line with a weight attached in what we hoped would be the exact location of the ring, both the husband and his wife were extremely nervous. After about f26 minutes I was able to locate the ring 26ft down in the dark. So fun to see a happy customer.
Wedding with a all Aggie Groomsman was a receipe for disaster from the get go. Photography says lets go take pictures on the dock down by the pond. A couple of photo clicks later friendly pushing got out of had and everyone hit the water. We got a call from one of the Groomsmen who found us on the website. Ellen and I arrived and thought will be easy, but 18 inches of muck and customer not exactly sure where he fell in, it took a lot longer to find, but we persevered. The Aggie Ring show up in about my 20th scoop of MUCK…. another happy Aggie now roams the streets. Found 04/2025
My wife lost her ring in the yard a couple months ago and we had lost hope after another metal detector said it might be a lost cause since our yard had so many random bits of buried metal. We were impressed by Jeremy’s experience and efficiency. Highly recommend! »
I received a call for a metal detector rental. She lost a ring her mother gave her. It was lost while brushing snow off her clothes.
See had searched for 2 days without the rental and for one day with it. Unfortunately she did not have any luck.
I offered to come and see if I could locate it.
The picture tells the story. This is the best job in the world!!!
I received a call from fellow detectorist and ringfinder, Laura, who is located up in Marin County. She got a call for a lost ring at Montara Beach just south of Pacifica in San Mateo County and referred them to me as I am closer in proximity to Montara. I connected with Jenn and Zakk and planned to head out to the beach the following day. The atmospheric river had other plans for me though. I called off the hunt that day and, instead, headed out the next day when it was cold but nice and sunny.
What I found when I arrived at the beach was a HUGE cut caused by the torrential rain the day prior. It cut the beach in half and I worried that the ring may have been washed away.
Using the photos that they sent me, like a treasure map without the « X » marks the spot, I headed over the cut to the south end of the beach where they were fairly certain the ring had been lost. Because I had to go after work I knew I would be fighting the daylight. I texted Jenn asking for a few minor details to zero in on the exact spot and went to work swinging horizontally to the water, they perpendicularly, then extending the search area again horizontally and perpendicularly. Two hours later I had come up with nothing but false tones and a handful of carefully rolled up twist ties.
The sun had set and I was feeling defeated. I knew how important this ring was for them. They had take a class and each made a ring for the other from paladium so clearly the sentimental value of these rings far outweighed any monetary value (even though paladium is not cheap).
There was a second spot that they circled on the aerial photography they sent me. It was between the cut and the stairs that go up to the parking areas. Since it was dark and the trail I took down from the parking area was slippery with mud I decided to walk toward the stairs and try to swing through the second, less likely, location on my way out. It was very dark and the little light on my Legend was helpful but I took out my phone and used it’s flashlight for additional light. I swung as I walked toward the stairs until I got a loud signal ringing in my ears. Alas, it was only a bottle cap.
Thinking I was going to have to call them and tell them I hadn’t been able to recover the ring I walked a few feet closer to the stairs and suddenly a banging signal rang in my headphones. A split second later my eyes locked on a silver circle sticking out of the sand. I knew without question that this was the ring!
Excited I packed up my machine and walked up the stairs with Zakk’s ring on my index finger smiling and shaking my head. I had spent 2.5 hours out there searching for this ring and couldn’t believe my luck.
It is always disappointing when I can’t recover someone’s lost item. I don’t give up easily and often head back out the next day or next weekend to look again because defeat is not something I am willing to accept.
When I got back to my car I first sent photos and let her know I had found it. When I didn’t hear back right away I called Jenn, but there was no answer. It went to voicemail. I let her know that I had found it and to let me know how I should get it back to her.
Moments later she texted back, « OMG OMG OMG! »
She let me know they were in the process of putting their beloved dog down and my heart broke. I have been through losing my dogs 3 times in my adult life so far and it is the worst possible feeling. But knowing this made me even more grateful that I had found the ring for them. They were having a really shitty week and I was able to bring them some light in the darkness.
I kept the ring safe for a few days and we planned to meet Saturday at a restaurant a few minutes from my house. They drove in from the East Bay where they live and we met at The Ramp. I joined them a little late but they even bought me lunch and we sat there and talked for a couple of hours. We realized we have a lot in common – we like the same kind of television shows, including a lot of British programming – and Zakk was thinking about getting in to metal detecting now. If there is one thing I love, it’s corrupting new people into this wonderful, fun, interesting and educational hobby.
We tried several times to part ways and end our conversations, but kept finding more to talk about. And through all of this distraction and excitement I totally forgot to take a photo of the ring in the daylight and with Zakk and Jenn! Fortunately Jenn remembered and sent me a couple photos with the ring safely back on Zakk’s hand.
Ring recoveries are one of the most gratifying, special things a person can do with a metal detector. And I am thankful for every single person that puts their trust in me for this task.

We are off to a an exciting 2025, so many calls this year already.
This afternoon we got a call from a lady who said 3 days ago she was working in her very large front yard, clearing weeds and frozen plants clean-up. At the end of the day she realized her Ring Guard and her Diamond/Garnet center Ring were gone off her hand,
Very distraught, she search and searched, she even purchased a metal detector and it totally confused her because she had no one to teach her how to use it. She had her husband and children out searching but no luck. Her husband finally said ”just hire a professional”. So she searched the internet and found The Ring Finders and called us.
As luck would have it we were only 20 minutes away having just finished another Ring find. So we immediately went over and did our search. After just a few passes through the yard and flower beds, when I got a solid 45 Gold Signal on our Garrett AT Pro. We were able to put a big smile on her face that made our day….we love our hobby.
