Platinum Wedding Ring Recovered in Chapel Hill!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I got a text from Andrew in Chapel Hill about his lost wedding ring. He’d been playing football with his son in the yard and while practicing a long snap (picture the guy who hikes it to the punter), his ring flew off. He knew exactly when it happened and where, but didn’t know where the ring had gone. In the month since he’d lost it, Andrew had bought an inexpensive metal detector to try and find it himself, but had not found the ring, which is when he called me. After he showed me where and how the ring came to be lost, I searched for about 90 minutes with no luck. I took my own ring, tied a bright orange string to it, and asked Andrew to come out and snap the football several times wearing my ring so I could see where his ring might have gone. After several snaps, we had a good idea of where the ring should have been – unfortunately, the ring wasn’t there. I widened my search area quite a bit and after another hour or so, found the ring almost 90 degrees to the left of where we thought it should have landed.

Andrew and his wife have an anniversary coming up soon and he’s glad he’ll have his ring back where it belongs for that special day. Another happy ending!

Two Gold Wedding Rings Recovered in Siler City!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I got a text from Luke, who was vacationing in North Carolina from West Virginia. Quoting from Luke’s original text, « I lost not 1 but 2 wedding bands in the yard at our Airbnb in Siler City ». Apparently Luke lost his ring playing in the yard and someone in the group declared it shouldn’t be that hard to find a ring in the grass. That led to his wife’s ring being tossed out into the grass to show how easy it would be to find, which is how Luke got to the situation he was in. Anyway, Luke and I spoke and he cleared it with the landlord for me to go out and search. He had sent me a map of the backyard and had marked the area where he thought I should search. I found her ring after about an hour and a half (the yard was filled with pop tops, bottle caps, nails, screws, etc.), but it took me probably another 30 minutes to find his ring. I sent Luke this picture of the two recovered rings and we made arrangements for me to ship them back to him in West Virginia. Although I didn’t get to hand the rings to Luke and his wife, it was still a nice recovery and nice long-distance happy ending!

Diamond and Gold Wedding Ring Recovered in Fuquay-Varina

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I received a call from a nice couple in Fuquay-Varina (about 15 miles from the house) asking me to help find the wife’s wedding ring. The husband said it was in the back yard, which should have been an easy recovery. When I got there, he showed me where the ring had gone:  down a briar-covered hill, behind the back yard. Although they were certain about the direction the ring had gone, they didn’t have a guess on how far it might have traveled. Given that, I started at the top of the hill, working my way down, fighting the briars. After maybe an hour of « briar fighting », I had reached the bottom of the hill, but still no ring. I decided to walk even further out and start to work my way back towards the house, hoping I wouldn’t have to re-search the hill. As soon as I reached what I had chosen as my furthest point, I found the ring easily.

When I climbed back up the hill and returned the ring to the wife, she burst into tears. It’s always good to be able to recover and return a ring, but this one was extra special – another happy ending!

Lost ring Bloomfield Vt.

  • from North Conway (New Hampshire, United States)

Today I had the opportunity to help a young gentleman named Luke search for his lost wedding band out in the Bloomfield, VT Wildlife Management Area. After tracking through thick brush, uneven ground, and more than 4½ miles of searching, we finally found it.

There’s nothing better than seeing the look of relief and gratitude when something so meaningful is recovered. Proud to have been able to help and glad Luke’s ring is back where it belongs. 🥾🔍💍

Received a call from a woman that lost her matching wedding ring while brushing off snow on her porch.

We got a lot of snow and with the addition of a lot of rebar in the ground it made this one of the more difficult searches but fortunately after about 3 hours I hit it.

She was a happy camper!!

Lost Ear Ring in yard during Party

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a young man in a panic.  He lost his « Diamond » Ear Ring in the front yard of his Aunt’s house at a Halloween Party.  They were taking photos of the really cool Grave Site display in the front yard.  He lifted his girlfriend on to his shoulders and they took some fun photos, then he sat her back down and they walked across the yard and he realized the Diamond Ear Ring was gone.  Their pictures showed he had it on when his girlfriend was on his shoulders,  but in a 2nd picture across the yard the Ear Ring was gone.  He said everyone ate the party was on their hands and knees trying to find it for over an hour.  He and his girlfriend had tried using 3 different metal detectors but with no luck.

So in a last ditch effort before the yard guys came out he turned to the Internet to see if anyone did this kind of searching and immediately the Dallas Ring Finders popped up.  We arrived the next afternoon.  Fortunately he had a matching Ear Ring we were able to get a signal to match too.  After searching the yard with our Garrett AT Pro’s running on their highest sensitivity we had no luck.   So we had to get out our secret weapon our « Garret Super Sniper Coil » that is designed for very tiny objects.  After getting a matching reading on the 2nd Ear Ring we were about to give up searching, I decided to check the prime target area one more time and I got a matching signal.  Using our Garrett Pinpointer I worked it into the very thick grass and I saw the glint and I knew I had it.  And the rest is happy history…..
