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,Missouri Soccer Field

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

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

Hearing Aids Lost in Yard

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a gentleman who said his wife had placed her hearing aids on top of her phone and walked out the front door to open the gate.  Somewhere along the way across the yard the Hearing Aids fell into the deep St Augustine grass.  She and her husband searched and searched even buying a magnetic bar on wheels to try and find the Hearing Aids.  After 3 days of searching and panic began to set in.  These were new Hearing Aids and not insured.

   The husband began to search the internet and found « The Ring Finders » and called us.  Luckily we were on our way back into the Dallas area and were able to reroute to the Gaston Street area downtown.   The hearing aids were so small out Garrett ATPRO’S bearly picked up a signal.  I had to get on hand and knees and use our Pinpointers to find them.  It took a while but we had success, the Hearing Aids had fallen just inside the flower beds and they were brown in color so very hard to see.

Another happy customer for the « Dallas Ring Finders ».

Lost Blue Stone Pendant in Newark, OH. “FOUND”

  • from Newark (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

Received a call regarding a lost blue stone pendant. The caller explained that the pendant was lost while retrieving mail from her mailbox; the necklace had gotten caught in the mailbox door, causing the chain to break. She searched extensively but was unable to find it.

I met her the following day to assist in the search. Being in a rural area, there was quite a bit of debris and trash around the mailbox, which made the search more challenging. However, after a short while, I was able to locate the blue stone pendant. She was incredibly happy and relieved to have it returned.

Grandmother’s lost ring in Ofallon, Illinois

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

I was hanging out by my fire pit when I saw the huge shadow of a cicada trying to land on my shoulder.

 

I got up and started walking towards the house and realized the cicada landed on me. I swiped at it a few times and felt my grandmother’s ring slip from my hand.

 

My children and I searched for days and nights. I even purchased a metal detector and search on my own but nothing showed up.

 

A few days later I came across Ring Finder. Jeremy answered on the first ring, arrived the next day and found my ring within minutes.

 

He was confident, professional and so kind! He turned a really fragile moment around for me in minutes! Thank you Jeremy for finding my grandmothers ring that has been in my family for more than 50 years!

Lost diamond bracelet found at Chicago Beach

  • from Chicago (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

Received a call this morning from a guy who lost his diamond bracelet, which was a gift, at North Ave Beach in Chicago playing volleyball. I was very concerned when we got there because the tractors already raked the sand, thought it may have been snagged. Gridded out the area and found it in about an hour.

First time to the beach this season but sure it’s no the last. Always enjoy the beach recoveries.

Happy Ending!!

Lost Hearing Aid Found – Raleigh

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

I got a call from Don, a nice gentleman who had lost a hearing aid while working outside on his property. I said I’d be happy to come out and see if I could find it for him — I then checked the property on Google Maps. Holy Cow! Don’s property was about 8 1/2 acres! (I could search for days and not cover it all.) Don met me when I arrived and explained that he knew exactly where the hearing aid had gotten lost. He’d been pruning a bush and when he turned his body, a branch snagged the little wire that connects the « in-your-ear » part of the hearing aid with the « behind-your-ear » part. He felt it come off and after checking his ear, was positive he had the location nailed down. He put a little landscaping flag in the ground so I could search in the correct spot. The most likely scenario was that the hearing aid had been « launched » by the branch into the bush he’d been trimming, so that’s where I started my search. Using two different detectors, I spent probably 20 minutes covering that bush top to bottom and side to side — no luck. I turned to back out a little bit and widen my search, when I saw the hearing aid caught on a branch, most probably the branch that plucked it out of his ear in the first place.

I took the hearing aid over to Don who was extremely happy that he didn’t have to buy a replacement (if you don’t wear hearing aids, you may not know – these things are not cheap!). It’s usually about putting a ring back on a finger, a necklace back around a neck, or a bracelet back on a wrist, so putting a hearing aid back in an ear was a first for me! Another happy ending!

LOST RING IN IOWA, LOUISIANA – FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Emerson called me on Memorial Day weekend to help find a ring he lost while cutting the grass. We agreed that I would travel to the site on Tuesday. The area was a 3-acre grassed site behind his office.  He cut it with a zero-turn lawnmower. The area was level and the grass was short.  Trash had jammed the blade at one point. He thought the ring may have come off his finger as he was clearing the blade. I set up a 30’ x 40’ box around the area and began searching from one corner. Fifteen seconds later the detector sounded, and the ring was recovered.

Thank you, Emerson, for your very generous reward!

Wedding Ring Found – Clayton!

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

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!
