Diamond Ring lost in Elgin, Illinois recovered

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from Elgin, Illinois to look for a diamond ring in the backyard.They were no sure thats where it was lost, but it was worth a try. A newly engaged person was visiting to attend a graduation party. Among other things, a balloon throwing battle ensued. The guests had scoured the backyard to no avail.I laid out a gridline to insure that I covered the area. It worked! The guest was so distraught, she went out so she would not hear from me that I couldn’t find it. Guess what….I found it!

This afternoon, Dave texted me in a panic: he’d lost his daughter’s gold pendant and chain at Silverstrand Beach in Ventura County. Tasked with safekeeping it during her boogie boarding, he’d tucked it into his shorts pocket—only to find a hole and the pendant gone when he got home. The loss spanned 100 yards of dry sand to the high tide mark.

Vancouver Ring Finder Chris Turner- Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP  Anytime   778-838-3463

Well it’s been a while since I’ve had a successful recovery, not that I haven’t tried and this one wasn’t an easy one to say the least. I got a call from a young lady who lost her wedding band and was asking to see if I could help her, we set a time and a place to meet at Spanish banks in Vancouver BC. The young lady show me the area where she believe the ring was lost and at the same time told me there was two other places it could’ve been dropped. She told me she put it in her pants pocket and while visiting a friend she took her pants off as she had shorts underneath. So this was definitely a place where her ring could’ve fallen out of her pocket.

She also told me there was a possibility it could’ve fallen out when she got out of the car, you have to take all this info into consideration but the most important thing to do was give her closure for the beach area. I spent close to 2 1/2 hours searching with no luck. I do ask many questions to make sure I’m not missing what I’m looking for, I also expand the search area. Part of me felt like she was going to find it at her friends place, when I got the text message that her and her friend could not find it I knew I had to go back to the beach and go into areas where she did not believe it could be, as we all know Murphy’s Law plays a big part in recovering peoples lost items.

I arrived the next day and was determined to search where she did not believe the ring could be the only problem was there was a lot of black sand which was really causing havoc on my machine due to the mineralization. However after 15 minutes I was able to locate her beautiful wedding band. It pays to go back sometimes just to double check and make sure you did everything you could, I’m good at thinking out of the box but even I can miss things as far as Information goes, it’s good to go where you least expect it sometimes.

Lost Wedding Band Recovered, West Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

I had a great start to the day today.  In a morning call, Sarah told me how her husband had lost his wedding band at the beach the previous evening and asked if I might be able to search for it.  I met her and her girl friend at the beach a half hour later, and she showed me the location of the loss from a GPS fix that she had taken.  I queried her about how the ring was lost (it fell off as her husband was reaching for their dog as it ran by) and it seemed that the ring could not have traveled far.  The loss was at low tide and we were again at low tide on the wet beach, so it seemed like it would be a straightforward matter to make the recovery.  After about 15 minutes of spiraling and gridding on wet sand and gravel with no result except a rusty bottle cap and a chunk of foil, we conferred again and Sarah suggested that the loss might have been higher up the slope in loose sand.  It took only a couple minutes before that magic gold tone was ringing in my ears — I took a scoop of sand, gave it a shake, and walked the scoop over to Sarah with the gold circlet shining at the bottom.  The look on her face was priceless as she and her friend hugged and shed a few tears of joy.  I learned that the ring had been her husband’s father’s ring, which made the recovery extra special.  Thanks Sarah, for giving me the opportunity to help you out and save a family heirloom!

Lost ring in Anderson County Park

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by Josh and Stephanie. They were visiting friends from out of town and went swimming at a local swimming hole at Anderson County Park. At some point Stephanie noticed her engagement ring was missing. I spent several hours snorkeling, looking for her ring with no luck. Josh and Stephanie had left town to go back home heart broken. I refused to give up, I came back two days later with scuba gear and found it in 15ft of water in the deepest part of the swim area. I cleaned the clay off her ring and mailed it to their home in Alabama.

Lost Cell Phone, Lake Geneva, WI

  • from Lake Geneva (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

I’m an elementary school teacher.  It’s a great profession, but comes with stresses that I’d rather not bring home to my family.  It was a Tuesday afternoon in April.  School dismissed, and I decided some detecting time at my local beach might help me clear my head before heading into the evening with my wife and kids.  

      Three were a handful of people on the beach, enjoying a bit of sun that was trying to peek through the clouds.  I was crouched down working on a signal when a man approached me and asked if my detector could find a missing cell phone.  Mohammed explained that his wife had lost her new cell phone in the sand.

I eagerly told him yes, and finished digging my target.  It turned out to be a penny.

The city had recently dumped large piles of sand on the beach in preparation of spreading a fresh layer prior to the summer season.  Mohammed and his wife were sitting on one of these piles and discovered the phone was missing.  

They tried calling the phone, to no avail.  

A few minutes of sweeping the mound revealed the phone.  When I pulled it out of the sand, it was ringing.  They were down the beach looking in other areas.  I answered the phone and said,  “I found it!”

They were elated.  They ran to meet up with me with fist bumps and thank yous.  It was a right place-right time situation.  

When I got home that night, I was destressed from my day in the classroom, and I was pleased to help out this kind and grateful couple.

Lost Ring, Lake Geneva, WI

  • from Lake Geneva (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

“Daddy! Daddy!” my six-year old blubbered, tears streaking her cheeks as she ran to the car.  Throwing the car in park and opening the door, I could see there was indeed a crisis.  Was she stung by a wasp?  Did she fall and bloody her knee?  Perhaps there was a conflict with her older sister over who gets to be next on the tire swing.  

As I crouched next to her, hugging her closely, she whispered, “Oh, Daddy…  I lost it!”  

“What, Honey?  What did you lose? » I asked.

She was holding her favorite doll, Sally.  Sally… with her blue dress and matted-brown hair, little tattoo lines on her legs and arms from when my daughter was first learning how to hold a pen.  I knew Sally wasn’t missing, so what had she misplaced?

“My ring, Daddy.  My bunny ring.  I lost it in the woods.”

I smiled and nearly laughed out loud.  She had lost her ring—her metal ring.  

I’ve been metal detecting for nearly three years, and have been part of The Ringfinders network for two of those years.  I constantly show my four children all of my “treasures” and often get complaints if I mention bringing my detector on a family outing.  You you… just in case.  

“Honey, do you know anyone who might be able to find a missing metal ring?”  And I smiled.

Like the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Plaza, she lit up from head to toe up with her new realization.  

My daddy has a metal detector.

I opened my trunk, took out and turned on my detector in one smooth motion, and walked over to a hammock that hangs on the edge of the woods.  Minutes later, her bunny ring was back on her finger and a smile replaced her tears.  Dad the superhero; just what every dad longs to be for his daughter.

 

Although I enjoy helping strangers find lost items, this might be my favorite recovery so far.

Graduation Ring Recovered

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

This young man recently acquired his high school graduation ring that he was proud to wear. Unfortunately at a gathering of his buddies graduation night he high fived a friend with a bit to much enthusiasm that resulted in the ring flying off his finger, bounced across a wooden deck, onto a wooden dock, and disappeared into about 5 foot of water. Because it was dark the exact path and ultimate location could only be determined by sound. The boys rummaged around on the sandy bottom feeling with their feet with no success. They called me the next day and I started a search early that afternoon. The bottom had quite a bit of trash metal mixed with the sand as you would expect near a boat dock. I’ve a very good totality waterproof detector and carefully, slowly searched the area in a grid pattern, after about an hour searching I located his ring on the edge of a neighbors dock slip. He and a his friend were very excited to get the ring and we exchanged high fives all around… but with a little less enthusiastic force. 😎

Expert Recovery: Lost Wedding Ring Found on Hillside in Canyon Country Santa Clarita

How to Find a Lost Ring: Dave MacDonald’s Recovery in Santa Clarita
The other day, Steven texted me about a crisis: his wife’s wedding ring was lost on their backyard hillside in Santa Clarita. As Dave MacDonald, the expert behind davetheringfinder.com, I scheduled a lost ring recovery search for today, March 2, 2025. Arriving in Valencia, I saw the challenge: a steep, brush-covered hill where the ring could be anywhere—perfect for showing how to find a lost ring in tough spots across Newhall, Canyon Country, and beyond.
The dense foliage in Saugus-like terrain demanded creativity. I crafted an extension rod for my pinpointer to probe the bushes, starting low where Steven thought the ring fell. Sweeping with my Deus II metal detector, I got nothing—until intuition nudged me higher. I’ve learned this trick works from Agua Dulce to Palmdale. After a quick prayer for guidance, I hit the hill’s top. On my second pass, a tone rang out. Peering through the brush, I spotted the ring and called Steven over. With a grateful prayer, we retrieved it—a win for lost ring recovery!

LOST FAMILY HEIRLOOM RING IN WILKESBORO, NC….. FOUND IN RIVER!!!

This was my #11th gold ring (12th – 1 silver – overall) recovery/returned for the year!

Got a call a day after Mother’s Day.

This lady had lost her mothers ring on Mother’s Day while kayaking with her grandson.

She was enjoying the weather and spending time with her grandson when they suddenly hit some fast moving water and it took them into some downed tree branches. Shen she hit she flipped over and while trying to pop back up and ensure her grandson was safe, she felt this priceless family heirloom slip off into the fast moving water! She just knew it was gone forever. She turned to the internet in search for help. By doing so she found me, 2.5 hours away, and reached out in hopes that I could help her out.

It wasn’t until May 17th before we could connect and plan an attempt to recover this ring out of the fast moving water.

I got up and drove the 2.5 hour journey in hopes it would be a successful trip….

This is what happened… I get there at about 10:30 am, we walked the 400 yards to get to the rivers edge. There was a 10-15 foot embankment we had to gingerly ease down to the water. Once down then I had to walk up current in freezing cold 3 foot, fast moving water with my detector and a scoop while climbing over logs in the river against the current.

I finally get to the spot and quickly realized, I can’t use the scoop with all the gravel and current. I placed it into the downed tree and kept scanning. About 30 mins later I get a 14-15 VDI on the MX SPORT and I knew that was her ring, problem was I couldn’t get to it. It was under a down branch and the water was moving too fast.

I had to clean up the area and make a way to the spot, use goggles to peer in the water and hopefully see it laying there. BOOM, I could see it and was able to reach down and grab it!

I showed the lady and hooked it on my D-ring for safe keeping while we made it back to the bank to climb back up the 10-15 foot embankment. Once up top we were able to cheer and celebrate the successful recovery!
