LOST GOLD HEIRLOOM CLASS RING IN DURHAM, NC…..FOUND!!!

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

I received a text from a young man at Duke University. He stated he lost a family heirloom class ring. I told him I’d come out tonight and see if I could find it.

I get there and get the story. He was playing frisbee and threw it awkwardly when he felt the ring fly off but didn’t see where it landed.

I start my search and in about 20 mins I found the lost ring in the area of about where he felt it had to have landed. It was found based on the information provided.

I asked him if he could share the history of the ring.

This is a short story of the ring:

“The ring was from my great uncle’s high school graduation in 1953. He later became an army officer and passed away from his service before I was born (I was named after him).

It was then given to my uncle, who passed away, then to my dad who gave it to my sister, who passed it to me. It’s now been in our family for 73 years.”

I was so glad this one was found and returned! All ring recoveries are important, but the sentimental and heriloom ones are the most rewarding.

Kirkwood, Missouri Lost Platinum Ring

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

 

I was unloading bags of mulch from my truck bed. When I was taking a couple bags off my hand slipped and my wedding ring went flying. I didn’t see it flying in the air but heard it hit the deck to the side of the garage which has stairs that down one level. I could not tell if it was on top of the deck or side of the deck that the ring hit. But a heard a thud type sound and then the ring was gone. I looked around and could not see anything. I also borrowed a friend’s metal detector and could not find it. Jeremy came out and found it so fast I couldn’t believe it. Thank you so much!

Clayton, Missouri Lost Wedding Band

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

Easter Sunday my wife was hiding eggs in the yard. Our engagement ring was previously stolen, so the tiny wedding band was all we had left. No idea where it flew off while dropping eggs. I figured it was gone for good, but just like Jesus, it came back!

 

Jeremy was able to save the day

North Tonawanda Garden Spring Ring Recovery

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

Karen reached out after losing her ring in the backyard while starting some spring cleanup. One minute it was on her finger, the next it was gone. No gloves and no clear idea where it slipped off, just the feeling it might be gone for good.

This was not just any ring. It represents 45 years of marriage. You could hear how much it meant.

We began searching the yard slowly, working through signals and covering the area piece by piece. Plenty of noise along the way, but about 30 minutes in, a clean solid tone came through. The kind that makes you stop.

And there it was.

Ring recovered and back where it belongs.
What an amazing Sunday morning.

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

This has been a crazy one!

So I get a text from this young lady saying she had lost some rings while playing with her kids in their wooded area of their back yard. She had placed all the rings in her pocket but she didn’t know there was a hole! Little did I know there were a total of 7!

I get there Wednesday night and found 4 of the 7 before I had to go out of town. I tried again last night and the 5th of the 7 was found. There are still 2 more that are soldered together left to be found.

Plan is for me to try again soon. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Lost wedding ring – Dauphin Island, AL

Contact:

 

It was Wednesday evening and I was enjoying dinner with my BFF and detecting partner in Gulf Shores when I got a call from Justin who was vacationing at the beach from St Louis, MO. In spite of my phone displaying an unknown number, something told me to answer it. He explained that he had lost his wedding band over on Dauphin Island and sounded quite desperate to find it. Since I was visiting my friend for a week, I suggested I could probably look for it on Friday when I was planning to pass through on my way back home to Mobile. Hearing the disappointment in his voice, I decided my friend and I could go ahead and hop on the ferry first thing Thursday morning instead and try to help him out.

Justin anxiously met us upon our arrival at his rental and explained that he had thrown a football and felt the ring come off as he did so. They had been looking in the sand for it but, being platinum, it blended right in with the sand. He showed us where he had been standing and had even staked out an area where he believed the ring to be. By the time I was getting my machine set up, Cheryl had already completed her first pass of the area we were going to grid. I took about three steps toward the area to start when I heard Cheryl right behind me say, “I found it”….. pretty much right where I had been standing when I turned on my detector lol. There’s a good reason she is becoming known in the area by her well deserved nickname – “Beach Angel”. For the second time this week, I was thankful to have her with me as she seems to have an uncanny ability to go right to the exact area when we are doing a search. And Justin was very thankful to put his ring back on his finger where it belonged ! And please check out his awesome ministry channel on YouTube – Trial by Faith ……

Engagement Ring Recovered at St. Paul Animal Hospital – A Happy Surprise Ending!

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:
My name is Paul Nolan with The Ring Finders. I was recently contacted by a woman who had lost her engagement ring while at work. She works the night shift at a local animal hospital in St. Paul and was taking a couple of patients (pets) outside for a potty break. Unbeknownst to her, one of the leashes somehow snagged and pulled her ring right off her finger. With no clear idea where it had come off in the dark, she was devastated.I told her I’d head out as soon as I could to help search. About three hours later, I arrived at the hospital. She met me in the parking lot, clearly heartbroken and emotional. I reassured her that these situations often have happy endings—we’d give it our best shot.It was a beautiful day: sunshine, about 45 degrees, a welcome break from the recent cold snap. We started the search at the spot where she’d begun her walk with the animals and methodically worked our way around the building, covering both sides of the driveway loop.We were about three-quarters of the way around, running out of likely areas, when she started to worry we’d missed it entirely. She was convinced the ring couldn’t be in the remaining stretch. We moved to a sidewalk along the road, bordered by a roughly 10-foot-wide grassy strip leading up to landscaping bushes at the front of the building. She walked the sidewalk while I grid-searched the grass uphill. I planned to split the area into two 5-foot-wide paths, each about 100 feet long. A sign post divided the access, so I went right and stuck to my line, intending to loop back along the sidewalk later. Just as I started into the grass, she looked down—and there it was! Her ring, lying about a foot into the grass right near the sidewalk edge. She spotted it herself and was absolutely elated. The relief and joy on her face were priceless. I’ve never really minded who actually makes the find—me with the detector or the owner with their eyes. What matters most is that the ring is recovered and back where it belongs, on the finger of someone who treasures it. We headed inside after the recovery, and the staff erupted in excitement. There was a lot of happy commotion—people congratulating her, hugging, celebrating. The attached photo captures that joyful (if slightly chaotic) moment of pure happiness. Another ring safely returned, and another grateful owner. If you’ve lost a ring or other precious jewelry, don’t hesitate to reach out—The Ring Finders are here to help!

Back where it belongs!

2xLOST, 100+yr OLD, WEDDING SET IN WILLOW SPRINGS, NC……FOUND!!

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

A friend of mine, Ray Mann, who is also a friend of Justin Wahrenburg, referred me to his neighbor whose wife had lost her wedding ring set in their backyard about a month ago. My friend Justin was actually my very first ring recovery I ever made as a member of “The Ring Finders.”

These rings were incredibly special — over 100 years old and originally purchased in Charlotte, North Carolina. Because of their age and history, they were truly irreplaceable in so many ways.

He contacted me, and I told him I could come out that same day to search for them.

After carefully scanning the entire backyard using a VDI range of 40–75 and not finding anything, I decided to adjust my settings to 35–65 and start again from the beginning. Within minutes, I got a signal reading VDI 37 and uncovered the first ring. About five feet away, I picked up another signal reading VDI 38 — the second ring!

Turns out I had simply missed them earlier because of my original settings.

Needless to say, the whole family was overjoyed. They had been praying and believing the rings would be found.

Her husband actually filmed the moment, and her reaction when the rings were returned was captured on video.

Moments like this are exactly why I love doing what I do — finding something so meaningful and getting it back where it belongs.
