Jeff found my website while searching for lost earrings. He gave my number to Katie, who called me. She was refereeing a lacrosse game and at one point swatted at her ear. She felt her earring hit her back and disappear. Katie & several friends spent a couple of hours searching on their hands & knees with flashlights.
I went right to the fields when we hung up. Katie & her mom were out there again looking. I told them not to get their hopes up because stud earrings are one of the hardest things to find, as they have minimal metal on them. I told them I would give it my best shot. She showed me the area she believed she was in & I started a grid pattern.
I had her remove her other earring and did a test scan. I knew the tone & number to look for. I was receiving a lot of signals, but not within the desired range. After about 10 minutes, I got a number in the range, I bent down to look, and so did Katie’s mom. I think we both saw it at the same time. Katie’s mom said “Oh my God” like 10 times. “I can’t believe he found it.” Katie was shocked!
We took a few pictures. I learned that Katie is a newlywed. The earring was pushed into the dirt under the thick grass, so it was probably stepped on. I told her to take it to a jeweler to ensure the large stone is still securely set. They said they are going to tell everyone they know about my service.

Lost White Gold Man’s Wedding Ring in Grove City, OH. “FOUND”

  • from Newark (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

 

I received a call about a lost wedding band that had gone missing somewhere in the backyard. It happened on an ordinary snowy day while the homeowner was outside playing with the dog. When he came back inside, he realized the ring was no longer on his finger. He checked his camera footage and confirmed it had been lost outdoors, but pinpointing the exact spot was the challenge.

Although much of the snow had already melted, the ring was still nowhere to be found. I was able to schedule and perform a search within a few days of the loss. I began by thoroughly scanning most of the backyard with no success, so I continued expanding the search into other areas. Eventually, the ring was discovered tucked away near the stairs leading up to the deck—carefully hidden out of sight.

The homeowner was incredibly relieved and grateful to have the wedding band returned.

Beautiful Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in West Chester, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

I was completing my 2nd ring finder mission of the day when I received a text from Jim regarding a lost platinum wedding band. It just so happens I was 15 minutes down the road successfully helping another gentlemen with his lost band…so i headed in his direction. Upon arrival Jim took me to his backyard and explained that he was playing/wrestling with his dogs when his ring came up missing. He suggested an area where he felt it most likely fell off….but couldn’t rule out any area in the large yard. As I always do I started scanning with my metal detector the most likely area the ring was lost. From 40 years of metal detecting I know that a ring on the surface has a very dramatic/unique signal on a metal detector…so I was hyper focused on hearing just that signal. I also calibrated my machine for just a gold/platinum ring. 3 minutes into the search….the signal I was looking for blew my ears off! It was 3 inches down in the deep grass and invisible to my eyes…but I knew it was there. I got out my ponpointer…dug around….and there it was! I was very happy to be able to return Jim’s ring to him…his smile as I handed his ring to him makes being a busy ring finder the best thing in the world!

Lost ring in Provo: found and returned

Contact:

Jane and her college roommates were enjoying the first snowfall of the year in front of the historic Utah County Courthouse. After a snowball fight, they made snow angels, and then discovered that one of the roommates had lost her favorite ring in the snow. After the snow melted, Jane returned and searched thoroughly for the ring in the grass but couldn’t find it. She hoped to find the ring, then give it as a surprise birthday present to her roommate in a few weeks. She found my name in TheRingFinders.com and gave me a call. We met the next morning, and after maybe 45 minutes of searching in a light snowfall with my metal detectors, we found the ring hidden in the grass. Jane is excited to return the ring to its owner at the birthday party!

Beautiful Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wilmington, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Dan found me in the Ring Finders Directory after losing his wedding band Thanksgiving weekend. He was enjoying the holiday at his home in Wilmington, DE when his ring came up missing. After thoroughly searching the inside of his house he reached out to me Sunday and I made arrangements to meet him that same day. When I got there he shared that he thought the ring most likely flew off his finger while he was tossing around a football with the kids in the side yard of his home. The side yard is about 1/8 of an acre and he told me he was playing football mostly toward right/middle…so as I always do I started my search in the most likely area. A ring on the surface has a very unique signature….so while I was getting quite a few signals I was hyper focused on a very unique signal…It didn’t take long…3-5 minutes into the search…BOOM….there was the signal I was looking for. I looked down…and there was his beautiful gold ring! He had gone back inside so I think he was a little surprised to hear me knocking on his door 3 minutes later!!! He and his wife were quite joyous to have his ring back on his finger!  I was very happy to be able to come through and return his ring to him!!!

Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Warrington, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Mike found me in the Ring Finders Directory after losing his wedding band Thanksgiving weekend. He was enjoying his holiday and playing football in the backyard of his in-laws house in Warrington, PA when his ring came up missing. After searching for hours and even purchasing a cheap metal detector at Harbor Freight he could not locate the lost ring. He reached out to me Saturday and I made arrangements to meet him the next day. He shared that the lost ring was made of tungsten so when I arrived at the house I brought along a matching tungsten ring so I could calibrate my metal detector and demonstrate the machine for Mike…I wanted him to have complete confidence that if I went over the ring…I wouldn’t miss it! The backyard was about 1/3 of an acre and he told me was playing football mostly toward right/middle…so as I always do I started my search in the most likely area. A ring on the surface has a very unique signature….so while I was getting quite a few signals I was hyper focused on  a very unique signal…It didn’t take long…5 minutes into the search…BOOM….there was the signal I was looking for. I looked down…and there was his beautiful ring! He had gone inside and was watching me with his family from inside a glass sliding door across patio…I triumphically held up the ring for all to see…and pretty sure I heard joyful screams from him and his family! He came out…lots of high fives…and amazement at the quick successful search! I was very happy to be able to come through and return his ring to him!!!

Lost Ear Ring in yard during Party

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a young man in a panic.  He lost his « Diamond » Ear Ring in the front yard of his Aunt’s house at a Halloween Party.  They were taking photos of the really cool Grave Site display in the front yard.  He lifted his girlfriend on to his shoulders and they took some fun photos, then he sat her back down and they walked across the yard and he realized the Diamond Ear Ring was gone.  Their pictures showed he had it on when his girlfriend was on his shoulders,  but in a 2nd picture across the yard the Ear Ring was gone.  He said everyone ate the party was on their hands and knees trying to find it for over an hour.  He and his girlfriend had tried using 3 different metal detectors but with no luck.

So in a last ditch effort before the yard guys came out he turned to the Internet to see if anyone did this kind of searching and immediately the Dallas Ring Finders popped up.  We arrived the next afternoon.  Fortunately he had a matching Ear Ring we were able to get a signal to match too.  After searching the yard with our Garrett AT Pro’s running on their highest sensitivity we had no luck.   So we had to get out our secret weapon our « Garret Super Sniper Coil » that is designed for very tiny objects.  After getting a matching reading on the 2nd Ear Ring we were about to give up searching, I decided to check the prime target area one more time and I got a matching signal.  Using our Garrett Pinpointer I worked it into the very thick grass and I saw the glint and I knew I had it.  And the rest is happy history…..
