Ring lost in SUV found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Rose was sitting in the back seat with her young child sitting in the middle seat, when the child started to get a bit fussy. To help with a little distraction, Rose gave the child one of her rings to hold. Well, that didn’t last long as the ring was dropped and disappeared. Not seeing the exact moment of the drop, a search ensued but, it couldn’t be found. With the prospect of an expensive trip to a repair shop to have the seats removed, Rose tried to tell herself that it didn’t really matter that much. After a couple of months, that ring still was on her mind, so, she searched for an alternative way to maybe recover it. An online search brought her to TRF and my contact info. We discussed the situation over the phone and decided to give my services a try. When I arrived, I got the full story and was shown the vehicle in question. The middle seats didn’t move forward or backward….just the seat back would fold down. With my inspection camera, I could see underneath the seat that there were all sorts of cracks and crevices the ring could have ended up in. After looking around underneath for a while, I tried a different tact. Looking down from the top, I tried to figure out where the ring could possibly have gone down. There weren’t many spaces wide enough for the ring to pass through. One spot by the seat belt where the middle seat met the side seat looked promising, so, down the inspection camera probe went. At the bottom, I got what looked to possibly be the edge of a ring, so, I asked Rose for a more detailed description, and she showed me a photo of the ring she had on her phone. We both looked at the screen on my inspection camera, and while I wiggled the probe around a bit, we got a better look at the object. YES! That’s it! Now the fun part….trying to get it out without having to remove the seat. I had brought with me many tools, and chose to use some « magic fingers » which is a 4 tine fingered grabber mechanics use to retrieve things from tight areas. After a couple of failed tries, I managed to get a good grab on it. Now the tricky part trying to work it up and out without it coming loose from my tool. After a few twists and turns, it was free and back on Rose’s finger. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Wedding Band Lost at Honeymoon Island State Park, Dunedin, Fl….Found By Dunedin Ring Finder!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)
Contact:

John and Stephanie were enjoying a day at the beach. John was doing some paddle boarding and his wedding ring slipped off of his finger into the water. Before they left the beach, someone told them about my free metal detecting service so Stephanie contacted me with the details of the loss location. I searched a few hours in the water that day but was unsuccessful. I went again the next day and found and returned a small beach sand sifter that a little girl had lost in the water. About an hour later and working my way into shallower water, I was able to scoop John’s ring out of the sand in knee deep water! Before I left the beach, I was asked to find an Oura ring that a young lady named Katy had lost in very shallow water while holding her two year old. I was able to find that ring as well but Katy had already left the beach so I mailed it back to her!

Wedding ring lost in car, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

NJ ring Finder

Christine called one evening around dinner with a little different kind of request. Her husband, Kevin, had lost his wedding ring in their car four months earlier. They had searched countless times without success, even pulling up sections of the carpet, thinking the ring might have slipped through one of the small openings. They had also asked a dealer to take a look during a service visit, but still no luck. Although the dealer suggested removing the seats, the cost was too high, so they decided against it.

Christine had been following NJ Ring Finder success stories and knew about the wide variety of items I had recovered. I assured her that I had an endoscope, which could reach into small spaces, and I was happy to take a look since it was a fairly common request. We arranged to meet, and when they arrived, I got to work.

After a short search, I began to wonder if the ring was still in the car. Kevin was absolutely certain it had bounced off the center console and fallen beside the seat, but sometimes memories can blur, especially after four months. Still, Kevin’s confidence reassured me, so I gathered more tools to remove the front seat. There was one spot where I thought I had spotted the ring with my endoscope but couldn’t reach it with the seat in place.

With the seat unbolted, Kevin helped me tip it on its side to avoid disconnecting the wires. Sure enough, tucked in the far corner of the seat’s sliding mechanism, there was Kevin’s ring, just as he had described. Using a small grabber tool, I carefully retrieved it, much to Christine and Kevin’s surprise. After four long months, the ring was finally found.

NJ Ring Finder, Edward Trapper was able to find/recover a lost item, after 4 long months, where no others were able to complete the task at hand.

Engagement ring found in Arrowhead lake. Poconos PA

  • from Reading (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Kelly contacted me in August stating she lost her ring in a lake after playing with her kids. I told her I was on vacation in Alaska and would not be home until October. She contact me again in October and we made arrangements to meet at the lake to search for the ring. We both lived about 1 hour and 45min away. She showed me where she was playing volleyball and I first began to search in the sand before moving to the water. After about an hour of searching, I found a gold signal in about one foot of water and had to dig down about 6inches into the sand. As I pulled up the scoop of soil, I could see the ring sticking out of the sand. Kelly had been waiting in her vehicle, and as I walked back towards her car, she got out and asked if I had given up searching. She was very surprised when I pulled her ring out of my pocket and could not believe I found it after several months of being in the water at a pubic location. Please call me if you need help in finding lost jewelry no matter how long it’s been lost.

Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Mike found me in The Ring Finder directory and shot me a text message. Earlier in the day he was in the basement of a house on a job site in Philadelphia when he lost his wedding band. He was pretty sure he lost it went he took a fall while cleaning up and inspecting the basement of the 1800s old house. Most times I would say no to indoor jobs…metal detectors usually don’t do well inside houses. But Mike said it was mostly dirt down there where he was working…so I figured I would give it a shot. I brought my trusty Minelab Equinox 800 with a 6 inch coil for the job…I also brought a similar tungsten ring to the one that was lost. When i got there the first thing I did was calibrate my detector to pick up just the tungsten ring…then I adjusted the sensitivity and frequency so it was stable in the dirt basement. My machine had no problem picking up the ring I brought with me while in the basement. I knew if I went over it on the floor of the basement i was not going to miss it! 10 minutes into the search I got the signal I was hoping for…it was coming from a dirt pile on one side…with my ponpointer I located the signal within the pile…grabbed a fistful dirt…opened my palm…and there it was!!! Ring recovered and returned! Mike was surprised and extremely happy!

Lost ring found, Littleton, Colorado

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from a young lady in distress because her beautiful engagement ring flew off her hand in the dark. Thankfully it was in her backyard. The large yard was overgrown, some parts over a foot of grass. To recreate the scene I tied a ring of similar weight to her ring to a string and had her “throw” it a few times in the direction she thought it could have gone. I marked the “string ring” with pin flags. After a few tosses I gridded off an area that I thought would be best. After about 3 minutes at the furthest pin flag I got a beautiful signal with my Deus. Deep in the grass was her beautiful ring! We were both surprised on how quickly I found it. It really paid off taking time to do the “string ring” method.
