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.

Vintage David Yurman Silver Ring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Mike was referred to me by fellow Ring Finder, Dave Milsted. He was working on snow clean up at a home outside Philadelphia during the recent storm. While working in the back alley behind the home he felt and heard his large, silver, vintage David Yurman ring fly off his finger. He looked for a while but it fell in the deep snow and a metal detector was needed for sure. I met him that afternoon and found the ring after a 10 minute search. Was very happy to be able to return Mike’s ring to him!

Beautiful Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wilmington, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Liz reached out me to 3-4 weeks ago after finding me in The Ring Finder Directory. It was after a huge snow storm dumped 18 inches of snow in the area. She told me her husband, Kevin, was out shoveling and messing around in the deep snow in their front yard when his large platinum wedding band disappeared. Kevin distinctly remembered the feeling that his ring flew off in the front yard while he was playing around in the deep snow. I came the next day after the storm moved out of the area. I spent 90 minutes searching the front yard of their home…but the snow was crazy deep and it was very difficult to effectively scan the area. After a good but futile effort to try to locate the ring we agreed I would come back after the snow melted. Well…3 weeks later I headed back. With another huge storm predicted to dump 18 inches of new snow tomorrow I figured I better get over there! I brought 2 metal detectors with me…one with a 15 inch coil that’s good for covering the grassy yard and another with a 6 inch coil which is good for looking under bushes and in tight spaces. I first started by scanning the entire grassy yard with the machine with the larger coil…no luck. I grabbed my other detector with the smaller coil and start checking under all the shrubs and bushes bordering the front yard and BOOM! I finally got the signal I was looking for…I looked down through the middle of a large bush and without even bending down I could see Kevin’s large shiny band sitting there underneath the bush. Kevin and LIz were both standing close by when I gave my fist pump victory sign! I believe Liz actually shed a few tears and the two of them were so full of joy to see the ring back on Kevin’s finger!

While I was searching for another ring lost on North Beach, I received a call from Carol who had lost her wedding ring in shallow water at South Beach on Honeymoon. Since I was so close, we met up in about five minutes and Carol told me that she and her niece Emma were visiting from Baltimore. After they had arrived at the beach, Carol had taken off her ring at the edge of the water to hand it to Emma to take back to where they had set their beach things. During the exchange, the ring dropped into the very shallow water and disappeared! I began my detecting search in the area where they thought the ring had dropped and by that time with the tide going out I was searching wet sand. After about 30 minutes, I had found and scooped out Carol’s beautiful ring!

Kyla contacted me while I was out of town to tell me that she had her ring come off of her finger while chasing down her cat in her back yard and she had been unable to locate it. When I returned, I searched the area in Kyla’s back yard where she thought the ring came off for about an hour with no luck. Then Kyla asked me to remove a board that was leaning on her shed and search behind it because it had been moved around during her search. When I did, Kyla was the first to see her ring nestled in the leaves! Who would have thought it would have ended up there? I should not be surprised!

Guy and his wife Tenice were enjoying a Sunday afternoon at SunWest Park beach near Hudson. Guy was standing about waist deep in the water and when he waved his hand to shoo away some seagulls one of his rings flew off of his finger! Guy had bought this ring for himself as a graduation gift about four years when he received his associates degree and had promised to pass it along to one of his nephews. Guy frantically tried to find it by sight and by feeling around in the bottom sand with his toes but was unable to locate it. Guy later found me on The Ring Finders website and we planned to meet at the park early Monday morning as I wanted to make sure we searched before any other metal detectorists did. After meeting up with Guy, he took me out into the water where he thought he had lost his ring. About 30 minutes into the search, I hit a promising target and out of the sandy bottom popped Guy’s ring in my beach scoop! Guy was speechless at first and then overjoyed! I was pretty happy about it too! Congratulations to Guy for the ring find as well for the baby to come this fall and good luck with your marketing business!

Steven, Stephanie and children Alyssa and Tyler were visiting Honeymoon about a week ago and enjoying a great beach day until Steven realized his wedding ring which had been placed in his shirt pocket for safekeeping had fallen into the sand when he picked up his shirt. Nicole under a nearby umbrella knew about my metal detecting service and suggested to Steven that he contact me. It took me about 30 minutes to get to the loss site and 30 seconds to find the ring! Son Tyler who is not pictured removed the ring from my beach scoop and ran off to tell his mother the good news!

Edisto River Ring Recovery

  • from Clemson (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I lost my ring in the river, I called metal detectorist Dwight C. (864)535-4347 Recently, I was called out to the Edisto River in Orangeburg, SC, to help find a lost ring. The owner had flipped her kayak and figured the ring had gone missing out in the current. The river had that dark “Coca-Cola” tint but was surprisingly clear beneath the surface.

I had been searching for almost an hour and a half, and honestly, I was running low on air. On top of that, I kept glancing over my shoulder because it felt like the kind of place where an alligator might just show up to add a little extra excitement.

In the end, just as I was about to wrap up, I found the ring near the riverbank where she’d first stepped in. It hadn’t made it out to the middle at all. Just a good reminder that sometimes the simplest explanation is the right one. Another successful recovery and a happy owner.

Lost Ring Recovered in Taylors, SC — Found in 15 Feet

  • from Clemson (South Carolina, United States)

How to Find a Lost Ring in Your Yard (Taylors, SC)
Call Dwight C — Metal Detectorist: (864) 535-4347

When I got the call, it was the kind of challenge I love: a couple who had been playing football in their yard realized a cherished ring had gone missing. Despite hours of searching, they just couldn’t spot it. The husband even tried his hand with a basic metal detector but couldn’t quite master the settings. That’s when they found me through RingFinders and gave me a shout.

After a short delay due to weather, I headed out to meet them. The search area was actually a good-sized, square-profile yard—a nice open space with neatly cut grass, making it a straightforward area to work in. And, I had solid strategy. I laid out a Jackstay search pattern, to methodically moving line by line.

The best part? I barely had to move more than 15 feet on the first pass before I got a strong signal. The ring had settled just beneath the grass line—the grass had simply swallowed it up, making it invisible to the naked eye. The couple was thrilled—it turned out the ring never made it far at all, and they were so relieved to have it back.

Big Smiles

Lost Rings (Bonne Terre, Missouri)

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

On February 8th I had just finished feeding my goats and came in the house and started washing dishes and realized my rings that I wear on my right hand were missing. They have been pretty lose with the cold weather but I didn’t actually believe they could slip off without me feeling it. So I began tearing the house apart with no luck. My husband came home from work on the 11th and with tears in my eyes I broke the news to him with great sorrow. I felt as though they were gone forever. My husband immediately started turning furniture upside down and checking every square inch of the house with no luck. My husband had an idea of calling a metal detector guy because he felt as though maybe the rings slipped off my finger while taking care of our goats. I was skeptical but figured why not. They started the search and just as they thought the rings were gone forever, the detector went off and my precious gems were found unharmed. I can’t explain the gratitude I feel but my tears of JOY show a lot. I’d like to thank Jeremy Roth with Ring Finders located in Washington, MO., for traveling over an hour south to help us out! Great service and an even better outcome!

 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Brenda Perez
