Lost Gold Wedding Ring Found at Baseball Field in Lakeview, New Orleans

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by Michael after he lost his gold wedding ring while playing catch with his son at a baseball field in Lakeview, New Orleans.

After realizing the ring was missing, Michael needed someone experienced with a metal detector to help search the field. Interestingly, he turned to Claude AI for help finding a local ring recovery service in New Orleans, and Claude recommended me. Michael reached out shortly afterward, and we arranged to meet at the baseball field.

Michael had a pretty good idea of how the ring may have disappeared. He and his son had been throwing the baseball around when, at one point, they switched gloves and tossed the gloves to each other. Somewhere during the activity, his wedding ring likely slipped off his finger and disappeared into the grass.

Fortunately, Michael was able to narrow down where he thought it happened to an area roughly 50 x 50 feet.

When we met at the field, Michael walked me through what they had been doing and showed me the area where he believed the ring had fallen. I began systematically searching the grass with my metal detector.

After thoroughly covering the most likely area without finding the ring, I started expanding the search farther out.

This is something I’ve learned from many lost-ring recoveries: the place where someone believes they lost a ring and the place where it actually landed aren’t always the same.Throwing something, removing or exchanging gloves, and other quick hand movements can send a loose ring farther than expected.

After approximately 45 minutes of searching, I got the signal I had been looking for.

There it was, Michael’s gold wedding ring hiding in the grass, slightly outside the area where he originally thought he had lost it.

Another wedding ring recovered and returned to its owner!

Michael was thrilled to have his ring back, and I was happy to make another successful lost ring recovery here in New Orleans.

This recovery is also a great example of why you shouldn’t give up on a ring just because you’ve already searched the area yourself. Rings can completely disappear beneath grass, and sometimes expanding the search by only a short distance makes all the difference.

If you’ve lost a wedding ring, engagement ring, jewelry, keys, or another valuable metal item in a yard, park, field, beach, or other outdoor area around New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, Mandeville, Covington, or Southeast Louisiana, feel free to contact me.

I specialize in helping people locate lost rings and jewelry using professional metal detecting equipment.

Lost Tantalum Wedding Ring Found in Metairie, Louisiana

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message from a man in Metairie, Louisiana who had lost his tantalum wedding band while playing fetch with his dog in the backyard. He’d searched everywhere in the vicinity and even tried using a cheap metal detector he had at home, but with no luck. I headed over after work, took a quick look at the yard, and within about five minutes my Nokta Makro Simplex Ultra locked onto a clean target. The ring was hiding just under the grass about 20 feet in front of the spot he thought it had fallen off. Another successful recovery and a very relieved owner! Always glad to bring these sentimental items back to the owner.

Lost Wedding Band Recovered in New Orleans Backyard

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by a man named James in New Orleans who lost his wedding band while pulling weeds in his backyard and had no idea where it could be, since he’d been all over the yard working in different garden beds. I started the search using my Garrett AT Pro-Pointer inside all of the garden beds but had no luck, so as daylight began to fade I switched to my Nokta Makro Simplex Ultra and began systematically searching the yard. After about 45 minutes of searching total and just before it got dark, I got a clean signal and found his ring laying just outside one of the garden beds. He was incredibly relieved, and it was another great reminder of how rewarding it is to help someone recover something so meaningful.

Lost ring found after slip n slide mishap in New Orleans, Louisiana

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted Sunday afternoon by a young lady in New Orleans, Louisiana who says she lost her silver ring after sliding down a slip n slide that she set up in her backyard. Having a relatively unscheduled Sunday, I made my way down to New Orleans. Within 5 minutes, we were able to recover the ring under some blades of grass. Her face lit up with excitement because they had searched the area for hours the previous day with no luck. I used a Nokta Makro Simplex+ and a Garrett Propointer AT to make this recovery.

Ring lost 18 months ago found in New Orleans, Louisiana

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message from Catherine who resides across Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans, LA. She stated that she just recently heard about the RingFinders and was wondered whether we would be able to help her locate her White Gold Amethyst ring she lost in her backyard in August 2021 (18 months ago). She also said that she has since sold the home and we would need permission from the new owners. She received the ring on her 16th birthday from her mother, so the ring was very important and she had possession of it for a long time. She believed her partner may have pressure washed it off of the stairs after she set it down to do some yard work. After looking for around 30 minutes, I accumulated probably over 200 nails and screws. Luckily, I had my magnet to eliminate these quickly so I can focus my Garrett pinpointer on the higher quality targets. I dug out the mulch and rocks in between two posts on the side of the porch. After picking out all the nails with my magnet that came from between the posts, I noticed my pinpointer was still picking up a target. As I moved the dirt to see what the target was, out pops the ring! Finally, after 18 months, Catherine was able to be reunited with her ring.
