I found a 14K wedding band with diamonds on Monday for a lady. It was the second time looking for it. It was lost of all places in a goat barn. The barn floor was cement and full of iron and impossible to detect anything in.
So the husband cleaned it all out. It was like a needle in a haystack outside the barn but I got lucky and found it on top of the mounds of hay and muck.
I received a phone call about a lost Engagement Ring which was lost while clearing and cleaning the old plants from the flower beds. She was just doing her normal routine while wear gloves. Then after the job was done the ring was gone. We was able to perform the search the next day. Started the search in the first areas with no luck. Still continued through each flower bed area and the first dump site of two for the plant waste materials. During the search of the second waste plant materials site, I had a hit in the dead plants, as I moved the plants away the hit disappeared which told me the item has fallen down into the older pile. Started moving the debris out of the way and there was the ring that has fallen and hidden itself. She was very happy to have the Ring returned to her.

Received a text yesterday from a young lady stating she had lost her grandmothers ring in her yard about a year ago while doing yard work, taking her gloves off to play with her dogs.
She also stated they were about to move and wanted me to come see if I could find it before they moved. I tell her I’ll be there at 8:00 am!
I get there at 8:00 am, we talked for a few mins to get the story and locations to search pointed out. She felt it was in the backyard, but mentioned a small area in the front where it might be.
I got my gear and searched the front first. Done in about 5 mins, it wasn’t there. We then move to the backyard. While she was putting her dogs away, I started walking towards the area she mentioned. As she’s walking back, past me and my very first signal, I get a signal not too deep. Using my digging tool, I see shiny heart with a diamond pop out of the dirt!
It was found! This is what I enjoy the most about being on this website! I don’t care how far I have to drive to help someone find their priceless lost items!

“Laurel – Rhode Island
Beth – Connecticut
Heather and Allison – KY
We are on a girls trip. Laurel and Beth have been best friends for over 50 years. Beth is Allison’s mom and Heather is her best friend for over 10 years.
23 years ago Laurel was in Greece and in the small town of OIA on the island of Santorini They found this ring. The jeweler said he only had one. They told him they would only buy it if he would make them one more and ship it. That is exactly what the jeweler did. She realized that her ring was gone Thursday night and searched the room and house to try to find it. In the morning she let the rest of us know and we did another sweep of the house and the car. Beth and Laurel went to the restaurant we had lunch at and searched. The staff was so kind and searched too. Laurel and a kind teenager went under the deck and searched for the ring. Allison went online to find the number for the restaurant we ate at the night before. Heather found the state parks Facebook page and wrote a comment asking if any found a ring. We went in our boat tour and had lunch. When we got back Heather checked her messages and Steve Thomas had sent me a message. Then the magic happened and throughout many questions, Steve Thomas found the ring!!!”
Laurel, Beth, Heather and Allison, it was a pleasure meeting you and thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder to help you find Laurel’s precious ring! And thank you for the generous reward for grandsons Tillman and Anson’s college funds!
I received a call about a lost white gold man wedding ring. It recently snowed and after shoveling his driveway he brushed off his toddler that was playing in the snow and there went his ring slipping off into the snow somewhere. He searched and searched for a while with no luck. I was able to respond the same day to complete a search. After searching for a few, there was the ring hidden in the snow. He was very happy to have the ring returned to him.

I received a call from the niece of a kind older woman who lives in a lovely mid-century modern home designed by Joseph Eichler. #housegoals
She told me that her aunt had lost a ring while gardening but that she didn’t believe she knew where she actually lost it, due to dementia. My instinct was to trust « Eva » over the niece who just seemed to be annoyed by her aunt’s diminished mental faculties. And I am glad that I did.
The dirt was hard-packed but there were a few trees with ivy around the bases and one tree with a bench built in a square around the base. This was the spot Eva thought she lost the ring. When she told me that I caught the niece’s eyes, she rolled them and walked away. I did a preliminary swing around the trees and benches with my small coil to get into the nooks and in to the ivy. Then I returned to the area where Anna said she lost the ring. Detecting along the fence line a glimmer of silver caught my eye and there it was! Her cherished Scandinavian silver ring lying just beneath the gap under the fence right next to where she knew it would be. She was right all along.
A lovely couple reached out to me about a gold wedding band that had been lost while gardening in their backyard. I got their details and went to their house as soon as I could. I swung around their lovely backyard for a while in the area they thought it would be. I found a couple of coins and then came across the ring in a small pile of dirt that had been shoveled out of a hole while they were planting some new flowers. And voila! The ring was found. Such a joyous reaction!
Shortly before the holiday break, I received a call from Dottie (from Massachusetts) who found me on the Ring Finders website. She explained that her daughter had just called her from college (in Ohio) and was pretty upset. Her daughter was on her way to class when she slipped in the snow and lost her Signet ring! It was a very special ring and Dottie hoped I could help. We made arrangements to meet her daughter Stephanie on campus an hour later. When we arrived, Stephanie and her friends described what had happened and showed us where she lost the ring. We turned on our detectors to get to work and BEEP, BEEP!! First swing of the coil and there it was! Stephanie and her friends couldn’t believe we found it so fast! We took a few pics and messaged Dottie. Everyone was happy! The whole thing took less than a minute, but that feeling lasts forever!

Recently Mitch was doing some yard work including blowing the yard as well as the large concrete pad his RV was sitting on. Shortly after he returned inside, he realized that his gold chain and an attached gold sailboat charm were no longer around his neck. After a search outside near the RV, the chain was found lodged in a crack between the concrete pad and a concrete step leading away from the pad. Mitch searched the pad and the small yard area but was unable to locate the small gold charm. He was unsure about how the chain came off of his neck but the charm was one that slid onto the chain and apparently that’s how it became separated. Mitch figured that the necklace had come off as he was working under and blowing around the edge of the large RV.
Mitch’s wife Durene found my contact information on a local social media page and Mitch emailed me to find out about my metal detecting services. I was out of town at the time but I told Mitch that we could set up a search as soon as I returned. On the day I returned to town, I already had another search set up for that morning about two hours away and I called Mitch on the way back from that successful search and left him a message that I could search for him that afternoon. I did not receive a return call from Mitch so I decided to stop by his house to see if he and Durene were home. As it turns out when I arrived, Mitch had been pressure washing the RV pad as well as the front sidewalk and driveway and had not seen my call. Mitch took me back behind the fence to the side yard where the RV was stored and I began my ground search for the charm around the RV. Since it appeared that the necklace had been blown just off the concrete pad as Mitch was blowing around and under the RV, he guessed that the charm must have been blown off the pad and further out into the yard. I searched for about 45 minutes with Mitch assisting on the digging but only found a couple of coins (including a 1941 nickel!) and some scrap metal. I had just completed my search around the RV when Mitch, who was behind me standing on the pad, called to me and held up his gold sailboat charm that he had just found in a crack in the concrete pad! He had already searched the pad for the charm but he guessed that when he pressure washed it the charm was pushed up out of the crack. This is the second or third time that the owner I was searching for found his own jewelry! After a happy Durene came out of the RV to hear the good news, she gave me some of her homemade candy.
Mitch and Durene, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder to help you find your lost gold charm! Safe travels and look forward to your blog posts!
We are off to a an exciting 2025, so many calls this year already.
This afternoon we got a call from a lady who said 3 days ago she was working in her very large front yard, clearing weeds and frozen plants clean-up. At the end of the day she realized her Ring Guard and her Diamond/Garnet center Ring were gone off her hand,
Very distraught, she search and searched, she even purchased a metal detector and it totally confused her because she had no one to teach her how to use it. She had her husband and children out searching but no luck. Her husband finally said ”just hire a professional”. So she searched the internet and found The Ring Finders and called us.
As luck would have it we were only 20 minutes away having just finished another Ring find. So we immediately went over and did our search. After just a few passes through the yard and flower beds, when I got a solid 45 Gold Signal on our Garrett AT Pro. We were able to put a big smile on her face that made our day….we love our hobby.
