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.

Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

James contacted me and told me that his wife had lost her ring in the front yard. It was yellow gold with a solitaire. He said it had been lost for around two months and they had rented a metal detector with no luck. When I got there I asked all of the usual questions that I always do. She said they had been arguing and she threw the ring across the front yard, and where she had been standing. This is always a great help, because it gives me a better idea where to look. I started my grid search in the likely area, and had made two passes across the yard. About one forth of the way back across the yard on the third pass, I got a solid 19 on my Manticore. It was the ring, but after two months it was already completely covered and not visible. The actual search time was less that fifteen minutes.

LOST 18k HEIRLOOM RING in WINSTON SALEM, NC……..FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from the young man yesterday about losing his heirloom gold ring that was his late grandfathers.

He had taken it off, put it in his pocket and was playing basketball. He later took the rings out of his pocet and put them on the porch, but didn’t realize he had lost one until later.

He searched for this ring for days and even used a metal detector. He wanted to keep trying into the night before he had me drive out to him. I walked him through some settings and gave him a VDI range to search for.

Earlier today, I received a text that he wanted me to try, so I loaded up and headed his way.

After arriving, 10 minutes later I found his ring, under the goal and already pushed into the dirt from being stepped on.

Washington,Missouri Soccer Field

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

WASHINGTON,MO

 

While watching my oldest daughter at soccer practice, my two year old ran towards her on the field; to avoid her being trampled by enthusiastic players, I picked her up. I instantly notice my rose gold wedding band slip off my finger. Within minutes, the whole team, the coach, and a group of helpful parents search the area. After an hour of searching, we gave up. The next morning, I purchased my own metal detector and searched the area for hours with no luck. I found Jeremy on the ring finder website, and he was confident he could find it. After searching the soccer field for a while, he was able to find my ring!9

Found Graduation Ring

  • from Baton Rouge (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by Khamren Friday afternoon, 26 September 2025 regarding his graduation ring that was lost some two weeks prior. I agreed to meet him at the location of the lost ring the following day at 2:00 PM.  Khamren explained he and his girlfriend were walking along the sidewalk and he was swinging his arm when his ring flew off his hand into a row of ground cover vines. He searched the area, but could not locate the ring. His girlfriend trimmed the area with some clippers and continued the search, but still to no avail.  Khamren also rented a Garrett Ace 400 detector and after searching the area was only able to find a metal spoon and a chime from a small wind chime that had fallen to the ground.

I arrived at the location of the lost ring at the agreed time.  Khamren met me at the site and pointed out the general location where he thought the ring might be. He told me he had to leave for work and if the ring was found, to let him know and to give the  ring to his girlfriend who was inside.

I set up my search areas and methodically searched each area.  I got a hit in my third search area. Based on the readings from my detector, I didn’t think it would be the ring, but because there was a strong signal near the surface, I decided to try.  It took awhile to sort through the roots and thatch and using my soft probe rather than shovel (to avoid damage to the ring) I was able to locate the target.  The target turned out to be a galvanized roofing tack.  The search continued.

I moved to the next search area, and got another strong surface hit.  This time with numbers more to my liking. Using my hands to work my way through the roots, I saw something shining through the roots.  I was able to isolate the object and at 2:45 PM, the ring was recovered.

I took a pic of the ring and sent it Khamren who excitedly texted back with a big « Thank Y0u! »  I then knocked on the door and presented his girlfriend with the ring who returned the gesture with a big smile and another « Thank You ».

It made my day!

How to find a lost ring in yard debris, Princeton NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

I noticed a post on one of the lost jewelry pages about a missing wedding ring, lost somewhere in the backyard within a pile of yard debris. Someone had tagged me on the post, and later, Cheryl gave me a call. She explained that her husband, John, had been doing yard work, moving logs, branches, and leaves  when he realized later that day his wedding ring was missing.

John was 99% sure the ring was in the yard and had a pretty good idea of where it might be. He believed he had felt it pull off his hand when he threw some debris. I asked Cheryl to send me a short video to make sure Id be able to swing my metal detector in the dense thicket where the ring might have landed. From the video, everything looked manageable, so we arranged to meet the following morning.

When I arrived, John and Cheryl came outside to greet me. I grabbed my equipment, and we walked out to the backyard. I had John recount exactly what happened a few times to make sure I had all the details. His story on the phone matched what he told me in the backyard, which gave me confidence that the ring was out there.

I got to work right away. After quickly scanning some larger areas and checking along the back fence, I only picked up a few signals, none consistent with a platinum ring. But then, I spotted a large pile of leaves and small sticks about three feet from the back fence. It looked promising, especially since John had mentioned pulling debris with his bare hands in that spot.

I scanned over the pile and picked up a strong, steady signal. It could have been the ring, though there was a chance it was just a pull tab. I cleared an area where the signal was strongest, digging down about two feet. Sure enough, at the very bottom of the pile, I found John’s ring.

Meanwhile, John and Cheryl were chatting by the pool about yard work. I cleaned the ring off a bit, stood up, and held it high to show them. Cheryls eyes widened, and she immediately said, I can’t believe you found it already! Where was it?

They both hurried over, and I showed them the cleared area in the middle of the leaf pile. They were absolutely stunned at how quickly I had found the ring.

I explained that preparation and listening carefully to the customer are key to a successful search. Narrowing down the possible locations allows me to focus on the most likely spots first, which saves a lot of time and effort.

Finding lost items isn’t just about luck it’s about methodical searching and trusting the process.

Cartier wedding band returned to new groom! Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Brady was married 3 weeks ago and lost his Cartier gold wedding band in a Denver park while running. I searched Friday night with no luck and no access to the soccer field due to games. I came back the next day and found it in the soccer field. Brady was so happy he was running across the field to me fist pumping, reminding me of John Bender in The Breakfast Club. And from that point on I couldn’t get Don’t you forget about me by the Simple Minds out of my head. Thanks Brady.
