Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Radnor, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

James got in touch with me via the Ring Finders directory after losing his white gold wedding band while at a football practice at Radnor High School in Radnor, PA. I met James the next day at the field and he told me he is the coach of his young son’s football team…he was in the middle of the practice and tossing the football back and forth when he felt his ring come off. He didn’t see it fly through the air but felt it come off for sure. He borrowed a friend’s metal detector to try to find it himself but no luck, He decided he needed the help of a pro…hence the call to me! James was pretty sure of the area of the field where it came off….probably a 30 square yard grassy area. In my experience with these kinds of recoveries where it comes off when throwing something….its quite unpredictable where the ring could’ve flown to. I proceeded to cover the area in a grid like fashion….almost like mowing a lawn…and thoroughly covering every square inch of the search area. A gold ring on the surface has a unique signal on my detector so while I was getting a lot of signals none suggested his ring. About 20 minutes into my search…BOOM… I finally got the signal I was looking for. The grass was quite deep so I had to push the deep grass aside…but after doing so there it was!!!! Don’t think James believed me when I first said I found it….he was so happy and relieved when I handed it to him! I was very happy to be able to get his ring back to him!!!

Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Penn Valley, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Leonard found me in the Ring Finders directory after he lost his platinum wedding band in an elementary school playground in Penn Valley, PA. He spent hours searching for it before reaching out to me for help. I met him the next day at the playground and he explained that due to some recent weight loss the band had become quite loose on his finger. He was with his son and wife at the school’s playground and had his hands full with all kinds of kids stuff when he figured the band must have slid off his finger. He spent the majority of time and was quite convinced the ring fell off in the mulched area of the playground but he also thought maybe it fell off during his walk back and forth to car. I started with a quick scan of entire mulched area of playground….then took 20 minutes and scanned the entire walking path to where his car was parked. Leonard was hanging with me and looking with his eyes as well….we were both convinced it must be there somewhere. After about 60 minutes I was ready to suggest to him we should wrap it up when he told me he dropped a pretzel very near/under a long aluminum bench along the border of the playground. I obviously didn’t check there since a huge metal bench would interfere with my metal detector…we grabbed both ends of bench and moved it 5 feet away…and I proceeded to detect that area. BOOM! I got the beautiful surface ring signal on my detector I had been hoping for! I looked down and there was his beautiful ring! I think I whooped and hollered and scared Leonard! I told him I found it….and his smile said it all! I was very happy to find Leonard’s ring for him!!!

20 Day Old Diamond Engagement Ring Lost, Recovered and Returned in West Chester, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Every woman’s nightmare???….3 weeks post engagement and your ring is missing!!! Maddie is the 3rd future bride that while engaged contacted me looking for help locating a lost engagement ring. I’m proud to say I’m 3 for 3 in being able to recover those rings! Maddie found me in the Ring Finder directory after her ring came up missing after her daily horse ride at her stable in West Chester/Downingtown, PA. I met her the next day at the farm and she told me prior to riding she put her ring in a small side pocket of her riding pants…the same pocket she keeps her phone in. While riding she took her phone in and out of her pocket several times….suggesting the ring probable fell out then. Alternatively, she thought maybe the ring fell out in stable following the ride while cleaning/grooming her horse…and the ring got shoveled up and out with all the hay and horse poop. When I first arrived I first scanned with my metal detector the 10 foot x 10 foot manure pile by the stable….I didn’t want to spend the hours scanning the riding ring if it might be right there in the poop pile…but nope…not there. Maddie then walked me out to the riding ring…the circular area was probably around 50 yards accross and she told me she pretty much criss-crossed the entire area on her ride. I decided to just start in middle and work outwards walking an a circular pattern with my metal detector…scanning outward and outward. 30 minutes into the search I received the beautiful surface gold ring signal I was hoping for….I looked down and there was this gorgeous white gold diamond ring!!! Maddie was standing 10 yards away looking down and slightly sad…I made a noise to get her attention and held up her ring!!! The visceral joyful relief on her face is what I live for!!! I was so happy to be able to reunite Maddie with her beautiful ring….I wish her the best in her life and her marriage!!!!

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

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Clifford contacted me through the Ring Finder Directory after losing his tantalum wedding band at a school playground in Philadelphia, PA. He texted me and asked if we could discuss my services and the details surrounding his lost ring. In speaking with him he conveyed he was supervising the children on the playground while his ring was in his pocket…he believed the ring probably fell to the ground after he took his phone in and out of his pocket several times. He noticed the ring was missing while still there but the grass was quite deep and the area where lost was large. He figured his only hope was a metal detector…hence the call. I met him at the school the next day and he showed me the area where he was standing when the ring was lost. School was in session at the time so I had quite an audience looking on! Like most school yards trash was abundant so my machine was very noisy and I had to hyper focus on only stopping for a « surface ring » signal unique to my detector. Well after about 20 minute of searching I finally got the signal I was looking for….after bending down and pushing the high grass aside….there was Cliff’s beautiful band! Cliff had to go to work so he wasn’t present when I found…I immediately texted him a picture of his ring…and received « My guy! You are awesome » text back! I was happy to leave the ring with one of his coworkers to get back to the rightful owner!!!

The Tale of Three Missing Rings! Parkland County, Alberta Canada.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Debbi called me yesterday to see if I could come out to her acreage and help her find her Engagement/Wedding/Anniversary rings which where solder together. They were lost about 30 days ago while she was pulling her plants and cleaning up her flower beds around her house, so she thought!.

After asking Debbie my usual questions in regards to her lost Rings I agreed to meet her at her home around 2 pm. She showed me where her rings could be and the area she traveled to her compost pile with her wheelbarrow.

Firstly I search the flower beds and immediate area, no rings. I then headed to the compost pile, still no rings.  I asked Debbi more questions to try and trigger her memory as to where she had been that day. When she realized her rings where lost she told me she was all over the place and the rings could be anywhere?

After exhausting all possible search areas I told Debbi her rings where not in the area she told me they could be.  I told her the rings could be in the house and to look there.   I also asked if she had looked in her car but she said she had looked so I asked her to take another look. While I was picking up my markers I heard a loud scream, “I FOUND THEM”!  Her rings were in the spare tire wheel well, in the trunk of her Honda. They were in a safe place and who knows how long they would have remained there if I had not insisted that she checked her car.  Debbi was over the moon to have her rings back on her finger.

The moral of this tale is never give up! Thank you Debbi for entrusting me to help you locate your rings.

Lost Ring, Found in Back Yard and Returned – Rochester, MA

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

October 20, 2023: While I was out doing yard work Leighton called with information on a ring search he was not able to help with. My wife was on her way to a luncheon, but took time to stop bye and tell me of the call. I finished up what I was doing, went home, and called Leighton. Information in hand I returned Mary’s call to get the specific information on the ring’s loss. It was the previous day that Reed’s wedding band was lost while playing football with his sons. I took down the pertinent information and I was on my way.

Reed had purchased a detector to search for the ring. His son had set up a well laid out grid over the possible area the ring had been lost in. But they were unsuccessful in locating the ring because of lack of familiarity with the detector and amount of non-precious metal in the yard. I was impressed when I saw what they had done, very professional. A point of last known and first realizing the loss were marked. Making my task of keeping a well defined grid search very easy.

Within several minutes I had verified several target signals as invalid. I made a few adjustments to my detector’s setting and bingo…a perfect signal. It was hard to see the ring as it had been stepped upon which embedded it into the soft soil. All that could be seen was one side of the ring.

I gave the ring to Mary and I listened to the problems encountered with the new metal detector while hunting for the ring. Well, I gave a few minutes of instructions on the detector’s use and I am sure there is a new young detectorist in the family. I could not have wished for a better hobby to pursue. I have met so many wonderful people and been there when they have needed a bit of help.

As this return was preceded with two members passing along information I just wanted to add my Thank You to both Leighton Harrington for passing the info to me and to Brian Rudolph in Maryland for helping Mary find the right “RingFinder” closer to her home and who would help her and her husband in the search for a lost Tantalum wedding band. This was my first Tantalum ring that I have found in my 41 years of detecting. Thanks to all, it has been my pleasure.

LOST GOLD RING IN APEX……. FOUND!!!!!!!!!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:
Got a text from a buddy that his co-workers girlfriend lost a gold ring that she’s had since she was a girl. Her grandmother let her pick it out and she bought it for her.
She got home from work; it was almost dark, and she was throwing a dog toy around for her dog when she felt the ring slipping off as she threw the toy. She tried to stop in mid throwing motion.
I came out with the XP Deus II and covered the area. Took me about an hour and twenty mins to find because it was 5 inches from an aluminum pathway strip that went out to the fire pit.
After adjusting the DISC to eliminate the high tone. The gold ring was a 51/52!
Found and returned!

Gold Ring Lost While Landing A Fish In Stella, NC Found

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Amanda was in the process of landing a 5.5 pound Black Drum off of her boat dock.  Suddenly, the very sentimental ring that her mother gave her many years ago, slid off of her finger and bounced off of the dock and into the dark waters below.  We agreed to meet the next day and after getting her account of the previous days events, I grabbed my gear and methodically panned the waters around then under the boat dock.  I received 2 separate signals on my Minelab Excalibur II.  I wiggled my way under the dock mindful these waters hold poisonous snakes and alligators.  The area was tight and I used my Garrett pinpointer to scan the area the Excalibur report metal.  I grasped a large handful of sand and mud and brought it to the surface.  Amanda’s ring was now in my hand.  She said it was the 3rd time this ring had been lost and found.  She also said it will not be going fishing anymore, lol.
