Heirloom Gold Ring Recovered North St. Paul Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Molly searched the internet for help in finding a family heirloom gold ring. She couldn’t believe it when theringfinders.com popped up on her screen. She didn’t know this service existed. She promptly gave me a call and explained the situation. Her Mother was out watering the plants and flowers in her yard. She decided to put her 2 ring in her back pocket for safe keeping. She also put her cell phone in the same pocket and went to work. She was just finishing up and turning the water off at the spigot when she received a call and grabbed her phone. After talking she thought to herself, I’d better check to make sure my rings are still there. She reached in her back pocket and found 1 ring. She got down on her hands and knees, searched the area and couldn’t find her 2nd ring. She was heart broken as this is a very special heirloom ring. She told her daughters and they decided to rent a metal detector and searched the area to no avail. I always ask people a lot of questions pertaining to the ring, area, scenario as how the ring was lost. This gives me the best chance at recovery. I asked Molly about the electrical service feeding the house and as bad luck would have it, the underground feed was right in the area her Mom lost the ring. This is tough on a metal detector as electromagnetic induction really interferes with it. Molly had told me their rented detector was going off constantly, which makes sense under EMI conditions. After 40 years of metal detecting, I’ve learned how to read the detectors signals and sounds, I can discern between interference and a solid signal. My Minelab Manticore was going crazy with signals in the area, so I turned my sensitivity down to the lowest setting possible. It worked perfectly as the EMI interference was very low and in the back ground. A couple of passes with my coil and I heard a strong gold tone. There it was, hidden in the thick grass out of eye sight.

So glad I could help out. Quick note to Mom – Stay strong, fight hard and you will win!!!

Take Care,

Gold Necklace Recovered Metal Detecting Scuba Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Nadia was out swimming at a local beach with friends. One of her friends suggested she take off her gold necklace before she loses it. She agreed and took it off when it suddenly slipped out of her hand and disappeared into 4 feet of water. Her and her friends dove down for over an hour and couldn’t find it. This necklace was very sentimental to her. It was given to her by her Father just a couple weeks prior. It had initially belonged to Nadia’s Grandmother who had recently passed away. She had a tough time telling her Dad, though he just suggested doing a search for someone who might be able to help. Nadia searched the internet and found theringfinders.com and gave me a call the next day. We set up a day/time to meet and started the search. As I walked out into the water, Nadia told me where to stop and start my scuba search. The very first swing I got a nice hit on my Excalibur metal detector. There it was, a glistening gold necklace. I thought to myself, this is the quickest recovery of my life. I walked up to the shallows and handed it to her, she said, that’s not it. What? I couldn’t believe it, what are the chances? So, I went back in and after pulling out 30 to 40 other targets, I finally recovered Nadia’s necklace.

Glad I could help out Nadia!!

Lost Heirloom Ring Recovered Metal Detecting Minnesota

Kirstyn and her boyfriend Jay were in town visiting family. On a 90 degree day in Minnesota they decide to head down and take a dip in the local lake. They jumped off a dock into approx. 4 feet of water. While swimming around and cooling off , Kirstyn saw a fish really close to her. This kind of freaked her out and she waved her hands underwater to shew the fish away. When she did, her Gold heirloom ring slip off and sank to the bottom. The visibility in this lake isn’t great, after sinking a foot or so, the ring disappeared. They both searched and searched to no avail. Jay even came back with a snorkel, though the bottom of the lake is a bit mucky and you really can’t see anything while stirring it up. This ring was priceless to Kristyn as it was her Great Grandmothers ring originally. Her Great Grandma gave it to Kirstyn’s Grandma and then it was given to her when she graduated college. They contacted me through theringfinders.com and we met the next day. It was a quick 5 minute search and the ring is back where it belongs.

Congrats Kirstyn, truly glad I could help out.

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered Minnesota Metal Detecting

Pam was out in front of her condo doing a little fall clean up. She was removing the leaves from the shrubs when she felt her diamond wedding ring fall off her finger. She knew it couldn’t have gone far, though she, her husband and some neighbors searched for hours with no luck. She went on-line and searched for helped, coming across theringfinders.com and she gave me a call. We set up a time for the next day and I met her & her husband in front of her building. She showed me exactly what happened and I assured her, if her ring is in this 20′ X 20′ area, I’ll find it. Over 40 years of metal detecting, I think I’ve got this down to a science :O) –

It took about 1 minute and I received that beautiful gold tone through my Minelab Manticore headphones. I took out my pin-pointer and found her ring under some leaves and thick grass.

So glad I could reunite you with your wedding ring Pam. It was nice meeting and chatting with both of you and I will be checking out Perch lake. It is a non-motorized lake, though I can use my electric trolling motor…

Lost Wedding Band Recovered Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)

Ethan went to his families cabin for a little rest and relaxation. He decided to take his dog into the lake for a little play time. He told me that he seriously thought about taking off his ring before gong into the water, though second guessed himself as he wouldn’t be staying in long or going very deep into the water. After getting out of the water, he noticed his wedding band was missing.  He was pretty frantic and was really concerned about how disappointed his wife might be. He search the internet and found theringfinders.com. We spoke about the situation and I assured him that I would be able to recover the ring. I’ve been doing this for over 40 years now and I have learned all the tricks of the trade. As I tell people often « Not trying to sound pompous here » If the ring is there, I will find it. Being that Ethan was in 3 feet to 7 feet of water, I had to scuba dive. The dive took about 20 seconds and I found his wedding band. Ethan told me his wife is pregnant with their first child, so I wanted to say congrats and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!!!

Take care.

Libby & Andrew were on a visit to southern Minnesota with family. They visited a nearby park with a small swimming beach. Andrew decided to take a swim and while swimming in about 7 feet of water, he felt his white gold wedding band slip off. He dove down and searched, though the visibility was zero. All he could do is feel around in the muck and sand with zero luck. Libby got on line and started searching for help and came across theringfinders.com website. She called me and we discussed what had happened. It’s always important for me to get as much information as possible to help me in the recovery. Libby did an excellent job providing me with google map video’s depicting exactly where they thought the ring would be. I jumped in for scuba search and after pulling out a bunch of garbage, I got that nice tone of gold. There it was, a nice white gold wedding band.

Truly glad I could help you out and thanks to Libby for the great info. It really helps!

Lost Gold Ring Recovered Prior Lake Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Elizabeth and her daughter were at a friends lake house, relaxing and hanging out on the dock. Her daughter jumped into the water and asked if Mom would join her. After a little back and forth, she decide to jump in for a dip. Elizabeth took her gold ring off for safe keeping, but she fumbled it a bit and it dropped straight through the deck boards into 9 feet of water. This ring was special as she melted down a couple of other rings to make one special ring with her daughters birth stone. They tried their best to recover it, though it was just too deep and soon it disappeared into the sandy bottom. Elizabeth searched the internet for help and came across theringfinders.com and contacted me. We discussed the scenario of what happened and set up a day & time for the search.  Liz’s daughter pointed out exactly where it should be, and she was right on the spot! Recovered in about 15 seconds. Thanks for your help.

Happy I could help out, it was nice meeting both of you – Take care.

I received a call from Tina in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, about 45 minutes from me. She was out playing catch with the kids in her backyard. At some point she noticed her diamond ring was missing from her finger. Her and her family check all over the yard and couldn’t find it. One of the neighborhood kids has a metal detector and he scanned the area also, nothing. Tina was searching the internet for help when she googled « lost ring recovery in yard » and theringfinders.com website popped up. She called and we set a day & time for the search. This was a a wide open backyard with no metal or electrical interference, which is very nice for us metal detectorists.  It only took about 5 minutes and the grass gave up this beautiful white gold diamond ring. Truly glad I could help you out Tina, Congrats!!
