Lost BMW Fob/ Business Key Remote in Lake Wippoorwill, Orlando, Florida…Found with Large Magnet!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Got a call from a young man who told me he lost his BMW fob/ remote to his car and business where he works. It wasn’t until I met him and listened to his story that I found out that he actually got upset about something and ended up throwing…not just one set of keys but two sets! And to add more fuel to the fire he admited that he threw them into a lake behind his house…and when I asked if he played baseball in high school he said sheepishly, « Yes »! So I asked him to throw two stones that were similar in size and weight to the key sets and that gave me some idea as to how far out into the water I needed to start looking with my large magnet!

I slid my kayak into the water and spent the next two hours slowly bobbing it off the bottom and every 30 seconds or so I would pull it up to see if I had found them. It was very tiring and I figured I did approximately 200 or more bicep curls…but in the end I was able to retrieve one set and the young man was very thankful for that much. (I chose not to do a scuba dive for the simple fact that the search area was just way to large and it was over 10 feet deep!).

All in all I was very thankful that God allowed me to find at least one set of his keys for him and hopefully he learned a valuable lesson! These situations happen allot and please do not feel that it is a hopeless cause.

If you have lost something and need help please feel free to call or text me anytime and lets talk! 321-363-6029

Keys Lost in the Snow at a Calgary Toboggan Hill

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

His son was sledding while he walked the dog. Somewhere in between, his keys disappeared. He bought a metal detector and spent 3 hours looking. Then he found me. He wished he had found me first.  Anyone want to buy his metal detector? The video below has lots of ideas that may help you if you have lost an item in the snow.

 

No pictures available.

Evan was very professional and efficient, within a couple of minutes he was able to find a set of keys that I lost on a hill covered in snow. My only regret is not calling him earlier

Lost Keys Found in Snow – Pell Lake, WI

  • from Lake Geneva (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

On January 12, 2024, a severe winter storm was sweeping its way across southern Wisconsin.  It dumped around 13 inches of heavy, wet snow and shut down schools and businesses.  Bill, like most Wisconsinites, was clearing his driveway and unfortunately lost his set of keys in the process.  This was not a usual set of keys.  It included two key fobs, shop keys, house keys, and a post office box key.  His emergency text went out at 10:00pm to Ringfinder Seth Tost of Lake Geneva, WI.

Ordinarily this might have been a simple search, but Bill did not realize his keys were missing until after he had cleared the snow and pushed it into compacted piles around the perimeter of his driveway, across the road, and 50+ feet down a side road.  The keys could have been anywhere.

Seth got the text the next morning and met up with Bill around 10 am.

Some searches that seem easy, can take a looooong time.  Others that appear to be a losing game from the beginning, end with that miracle find.  Today was that miracle find.  After a little over an hour, giving all areas a cursory scan, and digging through a few piles that seemed most logical, the keys were found about 30 feet down the road from Bill’s driveway.  The next city snowplow may have pushed them miles from this point.  What a joy to return this set of important keys!

Dock Drop Car Keys 30 Feet Deep Lake Union Seattle WA

Aziz called asking for assistance in recovering his dropped car keys. He was in quite the situation as this was his only set of car keys and his car could not be moved from the down town public parking space until he got his keys back or an expensive replacement from the lock smith. Having experience with Lake Union and knowing first hand how deep many of the docks can be even when close to the shore I knew this mission could easily turn into a SCUBA dive recovery. However having many recovery tools on hand I always try to find the most efficient methods possible.

As a first attempt I meet Aziz with my magnet fishing and fishing camera kit to see if we could recover the keys without having to make a dive. With Aziz having lost the keys the night before and having him in person to point out exactly where the keys went into the water I was confident that we may have a strong possibility of recovery on our first attempt. However that being said recovering anything with a magnet fishing kit can take a lot of patients and skill. Most times it is extremely disappointing especially when using a magnet without any kind of underwater camera system. Working blind with a magnet on a rope is often times a huge wast of time. Even with a camera system and having developed some experience doing this quite a few times its never a guarantee and more than once has turned into a SCUBA dive recovery in the end. The encouraging thing is I have many options at my disposal giving me the highest rate of recovery for items lost in the water. Honestly we don’t get them all back but a very high percentage of items are recovered and it all starts with a phone conversation about your specific situation. To add to this challenge the keys dropped though the dock slats and landed on the bottom of the lake at thirty feet deep.

Come along for an exciting underwater classic water recovery as we get Aziz back on the road of life with a smile on his face.

Sunk 1969 Mercury 9.8 HP Outboard Engine Recovery From Lake Washington

SeattleRingHunter Lost Item Recovery Specialist LAND & SCUBA Call 206-618-8194 ASAP

Watch the SeattleRingHunter recover a sunk 1969 Mercury Outboard engine from the depths of Lake Washington.

Mike called asking for assistance in recovering his lost 1969 Mercury 9.8 HP outboard engine. He was on his maiden voyage when it came loose from the transom and fell to the bottom of the Lake Washington. His recreational dive buddies attempted to locate the engine a day after the incident but were unable to locate it due to the overwhelming milfoil plant growth. Even after trying several of my suggestions it became a scheduled recovery many days later. We had an early start and showed up with everything but the kitchen sink. After trying several plans I eventually recovered the lost outboard with good old-fashioned determination using an expanding circle search fighting a massive amount of milfoil slowing the process down to a snails pace. However in the end we were successful and got Mike’s engine recovered from the lake.

Come along for an exciting underwater classic water recovery as we get Mikes outboard recovered back top side. Fortunately he had another friend that was on the ready to rehab the engine directly after the recovery for a full save! All in all a win for the environment and a win for Mike.

Found Lost Duplicate Wedding Ring in Windsor Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

In the Spring of the year I received a call from Emily saying that she had lost her ring in the back yard of her house. Emily said she had been doing a Spring cleaning up of the yard and then noticed that her ring was missing. She stated that she and her husband had searched the yard, the trash bags and everywhere else that they could think to look. I agreed to come over to search too. I made 5 trips there to search  with different detectors and different coils but with no success. We all agreed that the ring probably was not there. Emily thanked me for my effort and we said our goodbyes.

Then on New Years Day Emily contacted me again. She said  » You are not going to believe this and I’m almost embarrassed to tell you but my husband had a duplicate ring made for me and I have lost it also. » She said that the ring was lost in the snow in the park adjacent to her house, The area was marked and would I mind coming over to try again.

When I arrived Emily, her two children, and I walked to the area that was marked with stakes and yellow caution tape. It was not a large area and I quickly covered it  but did not find the ring. So then I expanded my search area to outside the caution tape and quickly got a good signal. Emily, with the pin pointer, found the ring and stood up to hug me with tears in her eyes and the biggest smile on her face. We took pictures and said goodbye and I drove home knowing we all had a great day.

Found Wedding Ring in Terry Lake Ft. Collins CO

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Laura saying that she had lost her wedding ring in about five feet of water. She had marked the spot and could I help. We set up a time to meet.

When I arrived I was met by Laura and her two children along with her mother and father. The house was situated on Terry Lake in North Ft. Collins, Colorado. We introduced one another and  talked about the beautiful view of the lake with the Rocky Mountains in the background. As we walked towards the lake shore Laura told me that she had been swimming with her children. She said that she had a mosquito bite on her ring finger and when she moved the ring to scratch the spot the ring came off. That is when she put one foot down on the lake bottom and did not move it again. Laura called to her mom to bring out a 6 foot long T post to drive in to mark the spot right in front of her toes. That quick thinking had saved the day.

We waded out to the T post to where the water was almost chest high to me. With my left hand on the T post and my detector in my right hand I began making a circle searching the bottom very slowly. About three quarters of the way around the post I hit a good signal. Laura had called to her son to bring out a paddle board and a net. As I brought up scoop after scoop of muddy lake bottom I would dump it into the net on the paddle board for Laura to search through. The bottom was obscured by the silt that I was stirring up so I was going by feel only. After about 20 minutes and many scoops the target was still on the bottom. Finally I took a scoop, dumped it in the net and before I could get the coil back down to the lake bottom Laura let out a scream. I turned to see her holding her beautiful ring. We hugged while she cried, so happy to have her ring back on her finger again. The entire family was amazed that we were able to recover the ring from the lake bottom in 5 feet of water. We walked back to the patio where we talked more and they thanked me while I cleaned my gear before I headed home.

The next day Laura asked me if she could come by my house because she had something for me. She brought over some delicious baked goods and a beautiful arrangement of flowers for my wife. Such a kind gesture from a grateful lady.

Found Lost Ring in Berthound Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Margaret saying she had lost her husband’s ring somewhere on her property. In talking to her  on the phone I could hear in her voice that she was very distraught. We agreed to meet the next morning.

Upon arriving Margaret told me that she had been wearing her husband’s ring since his passing. She was visibly upset saying that she had spent the day working around the house, in the garden, fed the horses and been down by the dock at the lake but did not notice the ring was missing until evening.

I said that it was a very large area to search. I began in the garden which was adjacent to the haystack. Margaret began feeding the horses and as I was watching her I noticed how she took the flakes of hay from the bales in the haystack and threw them over the fence. Finding only one piece of old copper pipe in the garden I moved to the haystack. With the pin pointer I checked in and around all of the bales where the hay was being pulled from. No Luck. Next I went inside the horse pen where the horses were feeding. The ground was damp from the recent snow and mucky from the horses. As I slowly swept the ground the horses reluctantly moved away. My detector beeped with a #7 showing on the visual display and 2 inches in depth. Margaret and I looked at each other. I said « Not to get your hopes up but this is a good gold signal and it’s not very deep. » Using the shovel I moved a piece of mud aside and checked it. The detector beeped again so I split the mud in half and found the part that had the target. I reached down, picked up the piece and broke it in half which revealed a gold mans ring shining brightly in the sunshine. Margaret was overcome with emotion that swept over me also. We hugged with her on one side of the fence and me on the other. She thanked me many times saying she thought the ring was lost forever.

We walked back to the house. Margaret offered me a cup of coffee to warm up and we talked about our children, grandchildren, and life. I drove home knowing we both had a very happy day.

Found Lost Widows Ring in Loveland, Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a text in the evening from Jae asking « Is this Greg The Ring Finder »?  I responded « Yes it is, may I call you ». I did and Jae began by saying that she had lost her sliver widows ring in her back yard. She had been playing with her dog in the snow at the time and had slipped and fallen down. When she got up she shook the snow from her hands. That is when she noticed that the ring was not on her finger. Jae stated that she and some friends that were visiting had sifted through the snow in an attempt to locate the silver ring but that they were unsuccessful. She and I agreed to meet the next day.

Upon arriving I greeted Jae and she showed me to the area in the back yard that she was standing when she noticed the ring missing. Jae was concerned that the search by she and her friends would make the ring more difficult to find.   I assured her that would not be the case.  I explained that because the ring was warm when it left her hand it should have melted it’s way down to the top of the grass and probably stayed right there.

I turned on my Minelab Equinox 800 detector, tuned and set it to the Coins and Jewelry mode. After only about six swings the detector beeped and registered a 26 on the visual display. The depth indicated about 6 inches under the coil. With my foot I moved away four inches of soft snow to reveal a layer of ice two inches thick. I was able to kick the ice and move a large chunk onto the snow. Swinging the coil over that ice indicated that the target was indeed in that piece. With my foot I broke the larger chunk of ice into four smaller parts and swung the coil over each one. The detector again beeped over the target and Jae picked it up. The ring was clearly visible on the edge of the ice. Jae and I hugged and she began to tear up saying how much the ring meant to her. She said   » That’s amazing. I can’t believe that you found it so fast. We searched and searched and it was right there the entire time.  »

It was a great day having recovered and returned two rings to the owners!!!
