Sentimental, White Gold Diamond Stud Earring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Daniel found me in The Ring Finders directory after losing a very sentimental white gold, diamond stud earring while playing beach volleyball in Philadelphia, PA. The pair of earrings were given to him years before by his parents. Anyone who has been around metal detecting for a while, especially us Ring Finders,  knows that finding stud earrings with any metal detector can be a challenge…and honestly this search put all my skills to the test. Diamond stud earrings are just so small and have such little metal on them they are hard to pick up with any machine. I met Daniel and brought 2 of my 4 machines…I brought the new highly advanced Minelab Manticore with a 15 inch coil and my Minelab Equinox 800 with the 6 inch coil. The nice thing is that Daniel had an identical earring still in his possession so I could scan it and see if either of my machines would pick it up.  I placed the earring on the ground and tried scanning it with the Manticore…NOTHING! Couldn’t get a peep with sensitivity all the way up in any mode! Then tried the Equinox not a peep in my usual modes…field or park. Then i switched the Equinox to gold prospecting mode and bam….was able to get it pretty good….VDI 1-2 up to 4-5 inches away from the coil. I started  scanning the beach volleyball court…in  short order i actually found 2 other earring backs…neither from Daniel’s earring…but at least I had the machine settings right. I probably dug 15-20 tiny bits of tin foil…amazing how sensitive the machine was behaving. I was at it for 55 minutes and committed to Daniel I would search for an hour. I stopped and asked him one more time where he was standing when a ball hit his ear and knocked the earring out….I would use the last 5 minutes in that area. With 60 seconds to spare I’m going to dig this one last signal …..BOOM….There was his beautiful diamond earring…in all my years I don’t think i whooped and hollered as I did right then! I was so happy to be successful and be able to get Daniel’s precious earring back in his possession!!!

Lost Gold & Diamond Ring & Cellphone, Found! Ocean City, New Jersey By Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
Received a call from Andrew Monday evening. Andrew explained that he and his family had quite an adventure unfold Sunday afternoon. While Andrew, his brother, and dad (Jack) were at their boat slip, Jack knocked his sons cell phone into the water. Jack jumped in and dove down to retrieve the phone and when he came back up he struck his head on the prop of his boat, this required a trip to the ER to have the wound stapled closed. During the ordeal Jack also lost his wedding ring of over 35 years! Made plans to meet up with Andrew at low tide yesterday. After moving a floating dock over, to work off of, I managed to recover both the phone and ring. Jack was elated to have his ring back! and sons phone too (which was still on and working) lol……. Another happy family!
See Jacks Testimonial Below:
“This past Sunday was a day that I would like to soon forget!
I have a small condo and boat slip at Harbor House Condos in Ocean City. While cleaning my boat I knocked my son’s phone into the bay. I did not know what else to do so I tried diving down to find his phone. little did I know that while doing this my wedding ring fell off. To make matters worse, I hit my head on the motor causing a 3 inch gash which needed 8 staples to close the wound. I can honestly say that the pain in my head was not nearly as bad as the pain I felt losing my wedding ring that I wore for 35 years. At this point after several failed attempts and a head injury, I knew this was a job for a someone that knows what they are doing which was not me. Not knowing where to turn, my son and daughter-in-law called the Ocean City Police and they recommended Jeffery Laag from Lost Ring & Jewelry Recovery Service. Jeff answered the phone and let them know very confidently, that he could find the ring and the phone. He showed up to the location the next day and within 30 minutes found both.
I cannot say enough about this service. Without Jeff I would not have my ring back! If I were to rate his service, I would without a doubt give him a 5 out of 5 stars.”

Lost a ring or valuable? Dont wait, Call NOW! 609-780-4525
Received a call from Steve this afternoon. Steve explained that his wedding band had slipped off his finger and disappeared into the sand. Took the short, 10 minute ride over to Philadelphia Ave beach and met up with Steve. Once he directed me to the general area I was able to recover his ring on the first pass. Took longer to walk down onto the beach then it did to find the ring, lol. Once recovered, Steve placed the ring on his middle finger and I dont think its coming off of that one anytime soon. Another happy client!

Platinum Wedding Band Lost While Cutting Yard-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Kevin had contacted me and said he had lost his wedding band in the yard while cutting the grass. They had looked for it for a couple of days but the weeds in that area were quite tall and finding a ring visually was out of the question. I found the ring in an area where the weeds were around eight inches tall. Total search time was around an hour.

Gold Wedding Band Lost Right After Wedding-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Linsey called me and said they had held a wedding venue in their yard for their daughter and son-in-law. Her yard was quite large and her son-in-law had lost his ring right after the wedding. She had purchased a metal detector but struck out.  Because of the size of the yard I set up a grid search and it took me all of two hours before I found it. Her daughter and son-in-law were out of town at the time.

14 Kt White Gold Engagement Ring Lost In Skeleton Lake, Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

 

In response to Michael’s call, I agreed to retrieve his wife Emily’s lost engagement ring. Emily had placed her rings in her bag and while on the dock, She reached into her bag for a towel and inadvertently pulled her ring out with the towel, the ring fell through the gap on the deck into three feet of water beneath the dock.

Michael had searched for the ring under the dock, but poor visibility and weeds on the lake bottom made it impractical. He had consulted the Ringfinders website and located my contact information.

I accepted the request to conduct a search after confirming the details. Upon arriving at Michael and Emily’s residence, I spoke with Emily, who provided me with the circumstances of the incident.

Approaching the dock, I commenced my search. Michael guided me directly to the location where the ring had fallen through the boards into the lake. After a few minutes of searching, I successfully retrieved the ring using a scoop. I presented the ring to Michael, who was astounded by its discovery. The entire process had taken only a few minutes.

Returning to Michael’s house, I returned Emily’s ring, which she was overjoyed to wear once more.

I express my gratitude to Michael and Emily for entrusting me with the retrieval of their lost ring.

LOST 14k WHITE GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN CHARLOTTE, NC…… FOUND!!!

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

Received a text last night asking for help to find an engagement ring lost in their backyard. We planned on me being there at 9:30 am.

Story goes, they were laying on blanket in the backyard when she had put ring on her pinky, stood up and it slipped off into the thick grass. They searched and searched, bought a pinpointer and even ordered a metal detector as well.

He found me online and asked if I could help.

I made the hour and half drive, get the location, turn on and set up my machine, take a step and boom there it was!

Love helping people find the little priceless things they lost and put them back in their life!

Lost diamond bracelet found at Chicago Beach

  • from Chicago (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

Received a call this morning from a guy who lost his diamond bracelet, which was a gift, at North Ave Beach in Chicago playing volleyball. I was very concerned when we got there because the tractors already raked the sand, thought it may have been snagged. Gridded out the area and found it in about an hour.

First time to the beach this season but sure it’s no the last. Always enjoy the beach recoveries.

Happy Ending!!
