Have you ever been asked to hold something for safe keeping and end up loosing that item? It happens allot and this is what happened with Brian and his daughter. Upon arriving at a local outdoor fall festival event Brian’s daughter asked him to pocket her two rings while she enjoyed all the rides and food and at the end of the day, while they were walking to the car she asked her dad for her rings and he only pulled one ring out of his pocket! It was like her class ring had simply disappeared. They back tracked where they had spent time and were not able to find her ring. Brian’s daughter was quite upset and Brian left word with the owners about the lost ring. I spent some time searching for the ring during the following day and it was found in the large grassy parking lot right where Brian had parked his car the day before. Brian and his daughter were very, very happy to get the ring back!

How to find lost rings in the grass with a metal detector, Ocala Florida!

This search and recovery came to me as a result of a family dispute. Sometimes rings, phones, key fobs and other items are deliberately thrown and most often we are called to come out and try to help locate these thrown items for either the one who threw them or for someone else who has a vested interest…say like a husband or wife, or a boyfriend or…I think you get the idea!

Andi called me and explained that she needed help finding her engagement and wedding rings somewhere in their yard. Apparently she had gone out and rented a metal detector and tried using it for an hour or two and ended up digging a bunch of holes plus her husband had spent 3 hours searching the yard as well and …Nothing! When I arrived the next day I got my Deus 2 metal detector and started doing my usual overlapping grid search of the area where Andi said she threw her rings. There were holes here and there and pull tabs and bits of aluminum scattered every where. Experience has taught me that most often items originally are thrown harder, further and with more intensity than one might think. And this proved true in Andi’s situation. At least 45 feet out I got a good repeatable signal reading « 49 » and then about two feet away another similar signal! I called Andi out and as I showed her what I found she just buried her face in her hands and quietly wept. The relief and consolation and comfort overwhelmed her heart and it was a thrill to see.

Lost wedding ring in Hart Springs, Bell, Florida found by Florida ring finder Mike McInroe

Alexis and her husband were enjoying a fun day at Hart Springs and after jumping off of the high platform two times he realized that he still had his wedding ring on and it was feeling just a bit loose. Alexis was standing behind the railing by the edge of the jumping platform when he removed his wedding ring and handed it to Alexis for safe keeping and she slid it onto her index finger thinking it would be fine. But her husband thought it needed to be put on her middle finger so as she attempted to remove his ring from her index finger it all of a sudden popped off and dropped into the water below sinking straight way to the bottom of the spring. Alexis and her husband were stunned and after a few minutes they attempted to dive down and retrieve their now « lost ring »! It was close to 14 feet deep and their attempts were futile which made the situation even more intense…especially since they were just married not even two months ago! Alexis went online and found theringfinders.com and in the « Directory » noticed that there was no one else closer to Hart Springs that could help her and figured that maybe I could…being as I was scuba certified and in the Orlando area…145 miles away!! But when Alexis told me what happened and described how they saw exactly where the ring hit the water…I knew that there was a very, very high likelihood of being able to recover it and so we made plans to meet the next day. My dear wife accompanied me early the next morning and two and a half hours later and in a slight drizzle we met Alexis and she showed us the platform and it didn’t take me long to set up my scuba tank, 50 foot hose and diving gear and down into the water I went. I carefully grid searched a 10X20 foot area and found two rings and other items and thankfully one of the rings was Alexis’s husbands ring and to say she was relieved and thrilled…was a bit of an under statement! Come to find out Alexis’s husbands birthday was on this very day and she wanted to be able to surprise him with his « lost » ring and she told me later that it was amazing! How I thank God for allowing me to be used to be a help and a blessing to this dear young couple!

Lost gold wedding ring in the grass in Palm Coast, Florida…Found with a metal detector and returned to happy owner!

Mike was doing some yard work and had just replanted a small ornamental bush and since the ground was super wet from the recent hurricane Milton, his hands were full of dirt and mud.  He went to the hose on the side of his house and rinsed off his hands and shook them to get the final extra water off and that action caused his wedding ring to drop directly into the thick St. Augustine grass.  He actually heard it hit the grass at his feet and proceeded to look for it but his ring had completely disappeared.  He then got his rake, thinking that he could rake out the loose grass and his ring would reveal itself but soon realized that method was not working out so well either.

Later that evening he typed into Google, « How to find a ring in the grass » and that led him to theringfinders.com website and my number.  I agreed to meet Mike and his dear wife of 28 years the following day and that is when he showed me the exact area where he was standing when he dropped his ring.  It only took two minutes to cover the small area and the only signal I got was a strong gold like signal that revealed where Mike’s lost wedding ring was hiding.  I gave Mike my Garrett pin pointer and showed him the spot and he did the rest.  All smiles and a huge sigh of relief and another very happy ending to a tense situation!

What a joy it is to be able to help reunite people’s lost sentimental rings with the rightful owners!  Lost something and need help?
