Lost Office Keys in Back Alley, Glennridding Ravine Neighbourhood, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Yesterday afternoon, while driving home from my last search, I received a call from Jonathan. He requested my assistance in locating his lost keys in his back alley. Jonathan informed me that he had become stuck in a snowbank while shoveling his vehicle out. Upon noticing his key missing, he had searched the area unsuccessfully for some time.

Upon my arrival, Jonathan demonstrated the area where he had become stuck and the approximate location where the keys could be. However, he had inadvertently shoveled the snow towards the fence, which is where I subsequently discovered his keys. Jonathan was overjoyed to have his keys returned.

LOST 18K GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN SALISBURY, NC…..FOUND!!!!

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

This young man called me up saying he lost his wife’s 18k gold engagement ring! I’m thinking to myself, “HOW DID YOU LOSE IT?!?” I said ok tell me what happend..

Story goes, It was getting dark, they were on a walk enjoying spending time together. It was cold, they were horsing around and she was afraid of losing her ring so she takes it off and puts it on her thumb to slid it into her husband’s shirt pocket for “SAFE KEEPING”!! A few mins later he did something to cause her to chase him and he stumbles and falls down a slope. He didn’t think anything about it until he realized he lost his watch. Then he checked his shirt pocket, and his heart sank, the ring wasn’t there!!!!

He called me up and I shot over in the dark. He wasn’t 100% sure where he fell so I was scanning about 50 yards of possibilities. Lots if signales and sadly I didn’t find it that night. I advised him to try and find his watch during the day and to try and narrow the search area a little.

The next day he goes back to site and finds his watch. It was just about dark again and rain was coming in on Saturday. So I told him I’ll be there first thing Sunday morning!

I arrive, get my gear and we walk over to where he found his watch. I set my machine to 40-61 range, because the ring looked very thin. I didn’t find it, so I changed my range to VDI 40-72. BOOM! Got a 62 and there it was just under some dirt!!!

I love helping people find lost items! It makes my heart happy and to see the joy, happiness and relief on their face!

LOST HEIRLOOM / 14K ENGAGEMENT GOLD RING LOST IN TAYLORSVILLE, NC……FOUND!!!

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

Received a call today from a young lady who asked about my ring recovery services. After a few mins of going over the details, she agreed she wanted me to come out and try to find her 14k engagement ring.

She lost her ring while doing some yardwork about four months prior to calling me. She provided me her address and said they wouldn’t be home. I advised her I will go and if found, I will put it in a secure location and send her the details.

I drive an hour and forty-five mins to get to her house. Set up my machine to locate the ring in the range it should have been in. VDI 40-65 on the Deus 2. After about an hour I get a VDI 48 and dig down about 2-3 inches and I see the beautiful gold roundness that I had been hoping for!!

After I sent her the pictures to confirm I had found it, she proceeds to tell me that not only had it been lost for 4 months, but it was also her husband’s Great Grandmothers ring!!! 😱😱😱 A priceless family heirloom that means a lot more than just a symbol of their love.

I love what I do, because of happy stories just like this that makes me hate even more the ones I can’t find!

Ring found in the snow

  • from Eau Claire (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from a very nice young lady asking for help.  Her husband lost his white gold ring the night before while taking out the trash.  He thought he lost it in the snow between the trash can and the mailbox when he took off his gloves.  He was right!  Not much fun hunting when its nine degrees, but finding the ring made it great.

Smoky Mountain Ring Recovery

A Smoky Mountain Ring Recovery: Kayleigh’s Story

Kayleigh had traveled to a cozy cabin tucked away in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee to celebrate her friend Haley’s birthday. With fresh mountain air, scenic views, and a balcony overlooking the trees below, it was the perfect setting for a weekend getaway.

But during the celebration, the unexpected happened.

While enjoying time on the cabin balcony, Kayleigh’s ring slipped off and disappeared into the unknown below. Anyone who has lost something irreplaceable knows the sinking feeling that follows. The excitement of the trip was quickly replaced with worry and disappointment.

Determined not to give up, the group made a trip to a local sporting goods store and purchased a metal detector, hoping to find the ring themselves. They searched… and searched… but without experience or the right equipment, their efforts came up empty.

That’s when Kayleigh’s mom stepped in.

Using ChatGPT, she searched for a professional ring-finding metal detectorist and was led to me through www.theringfinders.com. She reached out, explained the situation, and asked if I could help.

I couldn’t respond right away due to work but I contacted the VRBO owner and got his permission to come out the very next day.

The next day I packed my gear and made the drive—about 1 hour and 35 minutes—into the Smoky Mountains. Once on site, I used the detailed photos of the area to estimate where the ring was lost, I assessed the terrain below the balcony, and got to work.

About 20 minutes later, my detector gave the signal we were hoping for.

There it was—Kayleigh’s ring, recovered from the ground below the cabin. Another lost ring found and another story with a happy ending.

Now, with the ring safely in hand, I drove nearly two hours to meet Kayleigh’s husband so the ring can be returned where it belongs—back with its owner, along with the memories and meaning it carries.

This is why I do what I do.

Rings aren’t just jewelry. They’re symbols of love, commitment, and life’s most important moments. Being able to reunite someone with something that meaningful never gets old.

If you’ve lost a ring—whether in the mountains, a yard, a beach, or anywhere else—don’t give up hope. Sometimes all it takes is the right equipment, experience, and a little persistence.

Rent a metal detector in Lawrence, New York – Another Ring Found in the Snow… Well, Almost ❄️💍

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)

Another Ring Found in the Snow… Well, Almost ❄️💍

Last night I received a text from Rav — and you could feel the stress through the phone. He was supposed to be leaving Wednesday on vacation with his new fiancée, but there was a problem: his engagement ring had vanished while shoveling snow in the large front yard of his home in Lawrence, New York.

Snow, cold, metal gloves — never a good combination.

Rav had a few spots where he knew the ring could be. Those were my first targets. I carefully scanned each area… once… twice… three times. Nothing. Not even a hopeful beep. At that point, I’ll admit it — I was starting to think this one might turn into a waiting game until the snow melted.

Just as I was about to regroup, I suddenly heard Rav yell out,

“I FOUND IT!”

I turned around to see him standing in the driveway, holding the ring. It turns out that while using the snowblower, he had taken his gloves off right there — and that’s when the ring slipped off. The snow hid it perfectly until the light hit it just right. He spotted the glimmer and picked it up himself.

The relief on his face said everything.

Even though Rav was technically the one who found the ring, he still insisted on paying my full reward. His reasoning? Process of elimination. Since the ring wasn’t in any of the areas I had searched, it had to be somewhere else — and my being there led him to the answer. I only accepted a partial reward.

The truth is, if he had waited until Friday, when the temperature was supposed to hit 55° and the snow melted, the ring probably would’ve surfaced on its own — but by then it could’ve been crushed, bent, or damaged by cars in the driveway. And most importantly, Rav didn’t want to leave for his trip with that stress hanging over him.

As he kept saying,

“If you weren’t here, I never would’ve found it.”

That’s a win in my book — and another happy ending just in time for a vacation and a fresh start.

Lost Earring at Soccer Complex in Marlton NJ, Found by Dave Milsted

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

 

 

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.
