Got a call for help from a friend of a fellow who had just lost his wedding ring. It was a beautiful day, so they had all gone to a beach on Lake Champlain. They were playing some smashball in the sand when he noticed his ring had fallen off. They all started searching while his friend found The Ring Finders online and gave me a call. Wondering what they could do while I was on the way, I said they should stake a claim to that section of the beach so no one could walk off with it!

I jumped in my truck and got there in about an hour. To my amazement, they had used their feet to grid an area about 30’x 30’ in the sand and even put a 6’ bullseye in the area they thought it might be! I got started, got a bunch of junk signals, and then called them over to watch when I got a nice sounding ring signal right on the edge of the bulleseye. I stirred the sand a little with the pinpointer and his ring appeared! They were happy, relieved and amazed with the speed of the find. I sure wish they were all this easy!!

Now they can enjoy the rest of their Labor Day vacation in our beautiful state!

Found Wedding Ring in Northern Vermont

I got a voicemail on 6/16 from a lady whose husband had recently lost his wedding ring. He is a farmer who works 7 days a week and covers a lot of ground around their huge farm.

His wife did some absolutely incredible detective work to try to narrow down the area that he might have lost it. He hadn’t felt it fall off. They have several security cameras, so she decided to go through all the footage. She finally found that he had his ring on when they were doing some things in a side yard and behind a building, and a little while later it could be seen that it was missing from his finger. So, that gave them an idea where to search.

Not knowing about my service yet, they ordered a metal detector from the internet. Without having experience with a detector, and being an area jam packed with signals, they had no luck with it. She also spent many hours visually searching for it in the daytime and with a bright flashlight at night.

I went over this morning early because I thought it may be a difficult search. She showed me the areas and I got started. Unfortunately, her husband was too busy to accompany us. The ground was loaded with signals, but in about 10 minutes I got a promising surface signal. I pushed the pinpointer into the thick grass and there it was! Wow, was she happy!! She wasn’t sure if they would ever see it again!
