Lost ring Denver Tag | The Ring Finders

Heirloom ring found in Lakewood, Colorado

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Last week Stephanie Hobbs received a message via The Ring Finders from Liana about her family heirloom ring that she lost while running to her car during a hailstorm that afternoon. Stephanie was working so ee made arrangements to do the search after she was done. We made it to the search location just a couple of hours after the storm ended to begin our search. There was mulch and mud on the roads and sidewalk from the down pour of rain and hail that had occurred. Liana took us through her route of travel and explained what she was doing when her ring went missing.
Stephanie and I began our search, each starting at opposite ends of the search area. After an hour of searching, we began to double check each other’s area and we had even searched her vehicle. We were close to giving up and I decided to check one last area that was not where she said she had been, but I had a feeling that it would be worth the one-minute search. Sure enough, as I was swinging my coil I happen to see an emerald stone and gold band sticking out of the mulch that had washed down during the storm. I shouted out that I found the ring. Liana couldn’t believe that I found it where I did as she hadn’t been near that area. I believe that the amount of water that had come down had washed the ring several feet down along the side of the sidewalk. Liana and I shared a few tears of joy.

Lost wedding band recovered

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
This past weekend I received a call from Kyle after he found my information on theringfinders.com. He had lost his 18 kt gold wedding band while throwing the ball for his dog Moose. He had seen the ring go flying and even seen where it bounced off the concrete patio. He raked the yard, spent time on his hands and knees and even purchased a pinpointer from a large on-line retailer. But his attempts to find the ring were fruitless.
Stephanie Hobbs and I were at his house within an hour of taking his call. We scoured the yard with our detectors, searching some of the area multiple times. Stephanie asked Kyle if he knew his neighbors, thinking that the ring may have flow over or through the fence. He did not know the neighbors well and it appeared they may not be home anyway. Then Stephaie asked if he had a ladder so that we could look over the fence, he only had a stepstool. Due to the lack of height in Stephanie I had to get on the stepstool to peer over the fence. Within a few seconds I spotted the ring laying in the mulch on the neighbor’s side of the fence. I got down off the stepstool and reached under the fence as Kyle guided me, I pulled a hand full of mulch to our side of the fence. That is when Stephanie used her pinpointer to locate the ring. TEAM WORK was the word for the day.

Gold wedding band recovered, Denver

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)

Stephen was doing some yard work and putting much in his planters around his house. During the preparations for this project he went to his local Home Depot to purchase several bags of wood mulch which he loaded into the back of his SUV. Upon arriving home he unloaded the vehicle and proceeded to spread and rake the mulch around the planters. When done he went inside clean up he noticed that his wedding band was missing. Considering that there were four mulch beds with many square feet of mulch spread he knew that his chances finding his ring were next to nill.

Stephen started to search the web when he came upon my profile on The Ring Finders and he called me. We made plans for me to come to his house a little later that day to preform the search. Upon my arrival Stephen showed me around and described his pattern of work and how he spread the mulch by hand. I put my detector together and began my search I searched the whole mulch areas and found nothing. I then grabbed another detector and searched again with the same results as the previous search. There was metal yard edging around the mulch areas that would not allow for me to get closer than 3″ – 4″ from it so our next step was to remove that yard edging (which of course meant that it would need to be re-installed). But before we removed the yard edging I asked to search his car. He stated that he had already searched the car a couple of times. Within a couple of minutes of me starting my search of his car I found his ring. He was very surprised that his ring was in the car.
