Lost Gold Pendant in Public Park-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Jae late Thursday evening and she said she had lost her gold pendant in a local public park.  She and her friend had looked all evening until around midnight that night.  The pendant was made from the engagement ring her grandfather had given her grandmother in 1942. So it was very sentimental to her and all she had left of her grandparents.  The grass in that area was pretty deep, so finding it by sight was nearly impossible.  I got there by around noon the next day on Friday.  She had the area marked where she noticed the broken necklace.  I had marked out a block for my search that was about 75 feet by 50 feet.  That search area bordered a sidewalk on one side.  Being a public park I assumed the ground there would be very contaminated with metallic trash and other items, and it did not dissapoint.  Fortunately, with the Manticore metal detector I was able to differentiate between what was on the surface and what was deeper.  That still lengthens the search time because every target has to be inspected before moving on.  I completed the grid search in the block I had marked out and found nothing except pull tabs and a nickle.  So I moved down a little and marked out another block, this one a little smaller.  About halfway through that search area I was about 12 feet from the sidewalk and I got a 41 on the Manticore that was on the surface.  The grass there was about 3 inches deep so I pulled out my pinpointer to locate whatever it was.  The pendant was there, completely covered with grass and was not visible to the eye.  My total search time was about 2 hours.

Lost Grandfathers Ring in Concrete Mix

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a gentleman who was mixing concrete for a row of 2 X 2 Steps.  He was making about 20 steps for a customers’ walkway.  In the process, due to some recent weight loss, his treasured ring which his Grandfather had worn his entire life and then passed on to our him disappeared.  Short story, he had the ring on, made 20 concrete steps and 2 hours later when finished the ring was gone.

He was pretty sure it was in the 3rd step as a bag of quikCrete had burst open and he had scooped concrete with his hands.  Upon arrival with our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors we began scanning each step.  Few normal beeps and noises until I reached the 1st step.  It was not a normal Gold Signal but it was extremely strong.  I told the customer, I’m not sure it’s your ring but there’s definitely something there.

He said OK and picked up the 2X2 step and threw it on the ground breaking it into pieces, then he yelled “There it Is”. He did a little dance in the yard, gave us a big hug and told us we made his year.

This hobby/business is so much fun…

Lost 48 year old wedding ring – Found!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Charles and Marty were visiting all the way from Seattle. When you have worn your wedding ring for 48 years and it goes missing on the beach, you can’t just let it go. Luckily Charles’ and his wife Marty tracked me down and asked me to give them a hand. They weren’t sure exactly where it had come off but they had good directions to where they had been sitting with their family the day before so that was a pretty good starting place. Marty and Charles weren’t able to be there for the search but I could hear how important this ring was to them in Marty’s voice when we spoke on the phone. I was thrilled when I called back later and asked where I could meet them to drop off Charles’ ring. They were almost in disbelief and the entire family cheered in the background. I met them later and got some fantastic hugs as we put the ring back where it belongs. Congratulations Charles and Marty!

Lord of the Rings

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

Jeremy, thank you so much. Backstory: this is a custom wedding band that reflects our shared love of Lord of the Rings trilogy story. We’ve read the books and watched the movies many, many times. I was doing yard work and pulling weeds. I noticed the ring was missing when I went to throw the weeds in the yard waste dumpster. I was searching through the yard waste dumpster, the trash bag I had just taken out, and crawling around the area I was doing yard work for 2 days. That’s when we found your website. You found the ring within 10 minutes or less and were a pleasure to work with. We’d recommend you to anyone who is in need of your services. Thank you!!

Heirloom Wedding Ring Lost In Emerald Isle Waters Found Weeks Later

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

CRYSTAL COAST RING FINDERS – EMERALD ISLE, NC

Anna was walking in the shallow water with her son when a large wave knocked her son off his feet. When Anna grabbed him, her wedding band came off. The gold ring was given to Anna’s mother by her father’s great aunt, and Anna had worn it for five years in place of her own wedding rings. I began my first search for Anna’s ring one week after she lost it. Unfortunately, the sand had shifted, and I found very little metal that first hunt. The sand along the water’s edge stayed soft and deep, only giving up very light metals. My fourth search was three weeks later. I was also searching for a special bangle that was lost further out. As I was working along the shoreline, I received a very strong signal. As I moved the sea shells out of my sand scoop, I noticed Anna’s gold ring! I immediately left the water for the dry sand and inspected the ring that was a match to Anna’s description of the inscription. I sent her a few photos minutes later. Anna told me on the first attempt she had confidence in me finding her heirloom ring, and the fourth attempt she was correct! Thank you, Anna, for your trust, and it was a pleasure meeting you and your family.

Lost Wedding Ring Found in Warwick RI

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Steven who lost his wedding ring while doing yard work.  He asked for my help and identified where he had been working in the yard.  Coincidentally, he connected with me through his future daughter in law, a former co-worker of my wife.  She knew that I was a member of The Ring Finders (TheRingFinders.com) and could help him.  Steven and his wife thought the ring was lost forever until their future daughter in law told them about my services and were convinced that they would have to buy another ring. I went to their home and found Steven’s ring and in about twenty minutes.  He was very happy to have his ring back.

Emerald Isle, NC, Lost Wedding Band Found by Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Bady had placed his wedding band in the beach chair before heading into the water.  I didn’t want to start an argument but, it seems either he or his wife folded up the chair and headed back the the beach house before realizing the ring was lost.  Bady’s father-in-law called me to request my service after getting a referral from a town official.  As I was on the phone gathering details, Bady’s wife was out searching for the ring and also was given my contact information from a person on the beach and she called too.  After I realized both numbers were from the same state outside of NC, I realized it may be about the same lost ring.  We had a laugh as I headed to their location and told them to rest assured I would indeed find the lost ring.  It wasn’t near any public parking area and not in an area other detectorist would visit on a regular basis.  After being fooled by a bottlecap, my 2nd loud signal was Bady’s lost ring.  It was very helpful they marked the area in the sand with a shovel and outlined the area they were sure it must be inside for me to find.  It was a good feeling and I enjoyed talking to Bady’s father-in-law upon our return.

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered From Chippewa Lake, Ohio!

  • from Wooster (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

Late Tuesday night, the 23rd of July, I received a voicemail and text from Ilona who had recently lost her gold and platinum wedding ring in Chippewa Lake while working on her boat lift. I didn’t receive the messages until the next morning, and I promptly texted her back. I told her I wasn’t sure I’d be able to assist, as my water search equipment had been damaged during another water hunt earlier this year. I referred her to The Ring Finder’s website but said if she couldn’t find anyone else to let me know and I’d see what I could do. She called me a few minutes later and said she had tried another Ring Finder, but they no longer do water searches and she was desperate to find her ring, as she was leaving the next day for a short camping trip (with limited cell service) followed by a month-long vacation and really wanted her ring back before she left! So, I told her we’d make a few protective modifications to our equipment and give it a go. 

As she was leaving that evening, we made arrangements to meet her brother at the lake on Thursday around 3:30pm. When we arrived at the lake, Peter took us out on the pier and pointed out where Ilona’s boat lift was and where she was working when she lost the ring.

We headed out to the boat lift around 3:45. The water was between hip and waist deep by the time we got to the spot. There were lots of speed boats on the lake, which took the water levels even higher at times. Because of the depth we couldn’t use our detectors, so we relied on our pinpointers. We started around the area she had been working and fanned out from there. After about forty-five minutes to an hour, I found a ring! I had not seen a picture of Ilona’s ring, so I didn’t know if it was her ring or not. I waded back to shore and showed the ring to Peter. He also wasn’t sure if it was her ring, so while he texted her, we placed the ring in our find’s bucket and returned to the water to keep searching. About an hour or so later Peter hollered out from the shore and asked to see the ring. I came back to shore and we compared the ring to the picture she had just sent and, sure enough, that was her ring! How exciting! We dried off and took some pictures while Peter called Ilona. I could hear the excitement in Ilona’s voice and that’s what it’s all about! As Peter would be joining her on her trip the following day, she made sure he was going to bring the ring to her. After chatting a bit more with Ilona and Peter, we hopped in the car and headed home. Two days later I received a text with a picture of Ilona, happily wearing her ring! It never gets old making people smile! Ilona and her ring!Ilona's ring!
