lost white gold bridal set Tag | The Ring Finders

I received a call on June 25, 2026, from Christina and Jimmy in Alsip, Illinois. They needed help finding Christina’s white gold bridal set — her engagement ring and matching wedding band — which had been lost in their backyard. While socializing on a beautiful summer day, the rings had somehow slipped off her finger. Christina and Jimmy had spent the last couple of days searching on their own. They raked the grass and even walked barefoot, hoping to feel the rings beneath their feet. After having no luck, they discovered my information on The Ring Finders directory and gave me a call.

I made the  35-minute drive from Lockport to Alsip and met Jimmy at his residence. He showed me the general area in the backyard where he thought the rings had been lost, though he wasn’t entirely sure of the exact spot. As he watched anxiously, I marked out the most promising section with fluorescent orange flags and began a grid search with my metal detector. Jimmy mentioned the set was white gold, which helped me dial in the right target range and tone.

About 15 minutes later, I got a strong, promising signal. I knelt down and carefully pulled out Christina’s stunning white gold bridal set, which had been hidden just beneath a layer of grass. I walked over to Jimmy, held it up, and asked with a smile, “Does your ring look anything like this?” His eyes widened and a huge grin spread across his face. He shook my hand enthusiastically and thanked me.

There’s no better feeling than reuniting people with their lost treasures!
