I received a call from Geno this morning, asking if I would be able to help him find his wedding ring. He had been to the beach the day before, and wanting to go into the water he wisely took his ring off and wrapped it in his shirt before he went in. The problem occurred when he was ready to leave, and he forgot he had placed his ring in the shirt. He picked up his shirt, and the ring was gone. Seeing that a day had gone by, I had to ask some questions in order to evaluate the possibilities of finding his ring. By the time I finished asking my probing questions, I felt there was a pretty good chance of recovery, but it had to be today.

We scheduled to meet at 5:00 PM, so Geno could show me the area of the loss. When we met up, I asked how he had found me, and he told me that a friend of his, had a friend Eugene, who I had found his wife’s rings two weeks prior, that recommended me to him. He took me out to the spot that he was sure the loss took place, so I readied my equipment, and began my search. In about 20 seconds, I heard that unmistakable sound of gold in my ears, and began to dig. A couple of scoops later Geno’s ring was bouncing around in my scoop. I pulled it out and asked him if this was what we were looking for, at which time with exuberance, and some disbelief he acknowledged the ring to be his, identifying the inscriptions inside. This recovery happened so fast because Geno remembered the exact location, and did not let too much time expire before contacting someone to help him; those are important things to remember when a loss occurs.

What a pleasure it is to see joy returned. What a great day it was today.

Lost Gold Ring in Long Beach, CA Park…Found.

We were out visiting my brother-in-law in Thousand Oaks last night, and were finishing up a dinner at a local restaurant when I received a call from Brain about 8:30 PM about the loss of his wife’s ring. It was lost in a park, and he wondered if I would be willing to come and find it for them. I told him I would, but explained that I was about 70 miles out from Long Beach, and it would take a while for me to get home, gather my equipment, and get to his location. I told him if he would be willing to meet me there, I would come. Fortunately they lived close to the park so he agreed to meet me when I arrived.

I finally arrived at the location at about 11:00 PM, and Brian was there to guide me in, and help me get parking, which was scarce. The park was small, so for them to narrow down the scope of the search was relatively simple. Brian showed me the area, and explained how his wife had thrown something for their dog to retrieve, when her ring flew off of her finger. The problem was that it was getting dark at that time, and the grass was browned, so with the lighting conditions, and the ring being a similar color as the grass made it almost impossible to see. I began my grid, and made two passes encountering a lot of trash metal and some coins, which I did not dig because I knew I was looking for a surface loss. When I made my turn for the third pass I heard a good sound that was showing shallow, so I got the pin pointer, and fine tuned my search. In the light of the pin pointer I saw the ring we were hoping to find. All this time Brian continued his relentless search for his wife’s ring. When I had the ring in my hand I looked up to see Brian bent over with his flashlight in one hand, searching through the grass with his other hand, and I asked him if we hadn’t been searching at least 15 minutes, to which he agreed. I then said that he might want to come over and see what I had found, to which an expression of disbelief came over his face, when I held out the ring.

Brian explained that his wife was given a ring by her late grandfather, which she used to make a replica (this lost ring) that would fit her finger so she could wear it in remembrance of him. So to lose this ring was to lose something very precious in memory. I am so glad to have been able to restore joy in this family, see Brian’s smile, and know his wife was smiling too.

Brian sent the following email to include here:

Steve,

You are the man! Thank you so much for coming over tonight.  I know you were busy and enjoying your evening, yet you made time to make our night.  You are a great man for doing this work.  This was your 3rd ring in as many nights and you simply kick ass at making people happy.  Thank you so very much and many blessings to you and your family!!!

Warmest Regards,

Brian & Sara Morrison

Lost Wedding Ring at Newport Beach, CA…Found.

I was on my way last night to pick up dinner at about 6:30 PM from the local Mexican take out restaurant when I received a call from Briana asking if I would be able to help her find a lost wedding ring. She explained that she and her husband were in Newport Beach, so let her know that I would be able to help after I ate my dinner. I let her know it would take me about two hours to arrive at the search location if they would be willing to wait. She agreed to wait, so I ate fast, got my gear together, and got on my way.

I wanted to do the search as soon as possible, so I could go over the area before the county beach cleaners came by. When I got to the location she and her husband Greg were waiting, and took me out to the spot where they had been sitting in the sand. When we arrived at the spot, I looked at the sand, and my heart sank a bit because it looked as though the county had been there already. The area looked as if it had been meticulously raked, but I found out that it was from Greg’s search for the ring before I got there.  It was Greg’s ring that had been lost, and they told me how he had put his ring in the beach chair pocket, but forgot to take it back out when they were going to leave for the day. He put the chair on his back, and during the process of getting everything ready to leave, bent over a few times to pick up items on the sand, which probably caused the ring to fall out. I began my search, and heard a good sound in the headphones, but pulled up a piece of aluminum can. I knew that must have discouraged them a bit. I kept looking and again heard another good sound, but this time when I looked in my scoop there was Greg’s ring. I pulled it out and asked Greg if his ring looked like the one I was holding in my hand. Immediately a gush of emotion came from the two of them, and the joy was evident. Briana told me how they had gone more than half way home, which is more than 50 miles away before they realized the ring was missing. In Los Angeles, and Orange County traffic, that constitutes a long drive, and then a long drive back. Also the time they had been searching the sand, when combined with the driving time had taken an emotional toll on them.

The two had been together since high school, and had gotten married 4 years ago. The ring is specially engraved with « B ♥ G », which makes this very dear to the both of them. Sure a ring can be replaced, but the story of the « ring » can not be replaced, it becomes a new ring with a new story. I am so glad that I was able to continue the ring’s story, restore joy to Briana and Greg , and put smiles back on their faces. I am sure they had a comforting ride home, and a good night’s sleep.

Greg sent the following email to include here:

Steve,
Thanks again for your help last night. You can’t imagine how devastated I was when I realized that the ring was missing, and then again after 2+ hours of digging through the sand on my own.  Thankfully you came to the rescue and I’m so grateful that you were will and able to help on a Sunday evening. Briana and I truly appreciate your service and will certainly recommend you to anyone we know who finds themselves in a similar situation. Hope your other calls were successful and that you didn’t get home too late.
Again, much appreciated and all the best!
Greg and Briana

Lost Platinum Wedding and Engagement Rings at Paradise Cove, Malibu, CA…Found.

We have been having some unseasonably warm summer-like days here in Southern California insomuch that the beaches are crowded. I even spent the morning having an early surf session. I was relaxing in the early evening about 5:20 PM when I received a call from Eugene. He told me how his wife had lost her wedding ring at the beach in the sand, and wondered if I would be willing to come and look for it.

After he told me where it happened I told him it would take me about two hours to drive there. I knew I had to go right away, because the sooner you detect a loss the better. I gathered my equipment and got on my way. Fortunately traffic was light for Los Angeles, so the trip went smooth, and I arrived about 7:30 PM. Eugene met me at the beach, and showed me the area they suspected the ring to be in. It was then that his Wife JuAnne mentioned that it was two rings that were lost, both her engagement ring and wedding band. She told me she had taken them off to apply sunscreen, and put them in her shorts pocket, but for some reason later she shook the shorts, and believed that was when they were lost.

I began my search in the area, and dug up a few surprises, but not the rings. Then Eugene mentioned that it may have been over on the other side of where I was searching, so I began a new grid. It wasn’t but about 5 minutes longer until I heard the good sound of precious metal in my ears. I dug, and retrieved the engagement ring, and knew it wouldn’t be long before I had her wedding band in my scoop. Another few swings, and there it was, and joy filled the air. Their two young children were excited to see the whole operation unfolding, and were investigating everything I was doing, so they too were excited to know that there was success on the beach. Eugene and JuAnne told me they looked to buy a metal detector, but were unable to find one. I explained how it would have been hard because the different metal on the beach would have made their metal detecting very difficult. They were glad to have found The Ring Finders web directory, and I am glad also, because I believe The Ring Finders have the highest caliber people around associated with it. What great smiles!

Eugene sent the following email to include here:

Steve, you are an amazing human being! JuAnne wasn’t sure if she lost her rings at the beach or left them at home.  When we got home and did not find them, we were in a panic.  I began googling places to purchase a metal detector and started youtubing instructions on how to use one when i came upon theringfinders.com website.  I am naturally suspicious of anything on the internet but i came upon your name and blog on the website and read through a few of the incredible stories and decided to take a chance.  You were 2 hours away and relaxing and did not hesitate to drive out right away to help.  When you met me on the beach, a kind employee at the restaurant was helping us comb through the sand with a sifting shovel but to no avail.  After only a few minutes of searching, you pulled out some scrap metal and bottle caps and I already started to lose hope.  But then you stopped and dug out something – I heard clanking in your shovel and I saw a smile on your face and I knew you found one of the rings.  You found the engagement diamond ring I gave to JuAnne 11 years ago!!  Then you found her wedding band in minutes.  I can’t tell you how incredible that moment is when you pulled her engagement ring out of the sea of sand.  It would be so easy for someone in your position to take advantage of these type of desperate situations, but you are such an honest and generous person and i can tell that you genuinely want to help people.  Through this experience, we learned 1.) never wear jewelry to the beach 2.) there are still good people out there in the world and that is inspiring.  Big shout out to theringfinders.com network for connecting me with Super Steve!

JuAnne sent the following email to be included here:

I can’t express my gratitude enough to Steve! To have a random person we found in the internet help us find my ring was such a leap of faith and it totally paid off! What an amazing gift to be able to find, and bring joy back to someone’s heart when you thought something so dear to you was lost forever. Steve provides such a unique and personal service, and he does it with honesty, kindness, and you can tell that he really takes joy in reuniting people with the items that they lost. What a great service you provide, Steve and Theringfinders.com. Our little family thanks you so much!!

Thank goodness for Ring Finders and good people

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

Thank goodness for Ring Finders and good people. Luke was eager to drive 45 mins to come look for my ring and he was equal parts professional, friendly, and caring. I had never met Luke before but a Google search brought me to his Ring Finders page.

Visibility was less than 4 inches and it was amazing that he was able to find my ring considering the conditions he described above, not to mention the ring sat on the bottom in the muck and slime for 7 days before I had a day off to go out there. The lake bottom is littered with old cans, bottles, coins, etc and I was actually getting fairly discouraged after sitting on the dock for 1.5 hours or so, getting sun burnt and feeling bad about my lost wedding band. Luke was positive the whole time and like he said, after taking a 15 minute break to regroup, he picked up the signal and somehow got it back to the shallows, basically working blind, without dropping it. At first I was in disbelief and I think he celebrated more than me for the first few seconds! The people on the public dock 10 yards away must have thought we were crazy jumping up and down and high-fiving, hooping and hollering. When we told them what the commotion was about, they were yelling too! It was a great time.

You can bet I’ll be recommending Luke’s services to anyone in the Spokane/CDA area that needs this type of help. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer guy to work with. Good work! (and thanks for getting my wife off my back!)

Lost Engagement Ring FOUND in Severna Park, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

A few weeks ago I received a call from Tim explaining how his wife lost her engagement ring. He went on to say while she was almost positive it came off while walking their dogs down the driveway. The driveway, which was a good 100 yards or so long, was bordered the entire length on one side by wooded area. She believed it came off in a specific area where she recalled the dogs getting wrapped around some brush, but did not rule out any of the driveway due to the frigid temperatures that day. We made arrangements to meet the next day and Tim and Tara went over the area with me that he described the day before. I’ll let Tara tell you in her own words how things went down, but on a side note to my detecting colleagues….this was actually tough one to find! Reason is that although the ring was on the surface, there ended up being a piece of old « soda can » aluminum directly under the ring about 2 inches down! This means nothing to most of you who read this, but to us metal detecting geeks this spells trouble! A piece of « trash » like this so close to the target(in this case the ring!) acts like a shield to obtaining the « good » signal we would be looking for when searching for gold and/or platinum. I mention this in the event you are looking for something that should « sound » specific in your headphones and you have no luck. I suggest you take a break, regroup and come at the situation in a different manner. It sure paid off for me…….and for Tim and Tara!

 

« I came home from work and walked my dogs as usual. The only difference that day was the bitter cold temperature outside. I came in from my walk and noticed my engagement ring fell off (my fingers shrunk in the cold weather) I tried to retrace my steps but the area to cover was overwhelming, it was getting dark, and leaves were piled high. I panicked and called Home Depot & Ace Hardware trying to rent a metal detector. No one in the Severna Park area rented them-only sold, and they were thousands of dollars. I Googled « metal detector help severna park » and The Ring Finders popped up. We called and Jim scheduled to come over the very next morning at 6:30am (even though he was leaving for vacation that morning). Jim arrived and told me to stop and think, and walk him through my steps. We walked up and down the street and didn’t find anything. My husband and I had to leave for work, and Jim said he would try and stay a few more minutes. He explained if he didn’t find it, he would come back another day to search. My husband and I were preparing for the worst and discussed calling the insurance company.. when mid sentence we got a call from Jim! HE FOUND MY RING! Tears poured down my face! We met to pick it up and I immediately hugged him! Jim is an amazing man! We are so happy we called the site! Jim told us if it was out there, he would find it! He wasn’t going to give up on us! So I want to tell you if you are reading this because you lost something and you want it back CALL JIM NOW! »
