Lost Earring, Found Hope: A Tale of Precious Recovery in Oxnard Shores CA

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

Amidst the hustle of the afternoon, a frantic call from Laurie pierced through—a half-carat diamond earring lost, buried somewhere in her yard near the Oxnard beachfront. With desperation in her voice, Laurie recounted her frantic search, moving earth in a desperate bid to reclaim her cherished earring. Laden with sentimental value, the earring held a special place in Laurie’s heart, fueling her hope for recovery.

Armed with my trusty Minelab Equinox, I embarked on the mission, meticulously scouring the yard inch by inch. The delicate stem of the earring proved elusive to the detector’s grasp, necessitating a hands-on approach. Down on hands and knees, with my propointer in hand, I combed through the earth, sifting through layers of soil and debris.

As the search unfolded, rusted screws and forgotten staples emerged, teasingly leading the way. Despite Laurie’s insistence that the lost earring couldn’t be in the vicinity, an instinctual tug prompted a thorough investigation. And then, in a serendipitous moment, a telltale tone echoed through the air, signaling a breakthrough. With bated breath, I unearthed the buried treasure—a glimmering half-carat diamond earring, gleaming amidst the earth.

Laurie’s jubilation knew no bounds, tears of relief mingling with joy. In that moment, the profound satisfaction of aiding another in need washed over me—a sentiment that rings true to the essence of Ringfinders.

Lost Ring Found in Iowa City on St. Patricks Day

Contact:

I got a call on St. Patrick Day morning about a lost ring from the night before. Charles was at a friends house in the backyard. He went to throw something towards the trees and his ring flew off.

So I arrived at 10:00 at his friend Brie’s house, unfortunately Charles couldn’t be there due to work. We had got a dusting of snow overnight so the ground was covered. She showed me the location where he was standing the night before.

I got my equipment together and was adjusting my detector as I was walking toward the area I was going to grid, when I got a very good shallow signal. Sure enough it was the ring. I was surprised when I pulled it out of the snow because I didn’t know it had so many stones on it or that it was so big.

Everybody involved was very happy that it was found. We all had a little Irish luck on this St. Patrick’s Day!

LOST WEDDING BAND IN LAKE CHARLES, LA. – FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Susan called to ask for help in finding her husband’s lost tungsten wedding band.  It was slung off his wet finger a month before when opening their camper door. Carrie and I left the next day for the 70 mile trip. On arriving, we found the grassy search area to be small in the RV lot. We began the search of the lot. Next to the grassy area was a fenced area for a water system. Sid hunted the fenced area facing the RV. After 2 hours of searching and re-searching the yard and rock driveway, we had not found the ring. Susan, Carrie and Sid had gathered up near the rear side of the water system to discuss the next step when Carrie saw a sparkle from the rocks around the water system. In plain view laying on the rocks was the ring. Lost items are not always where you expect them to be. After the happy trio took pictures, we were on our way back home. Thank you, Susan, for your generous reward.

Lost Cell Phone… Found in Iowa City, Iowa

Contact:

We’ve been getting some snow here almost every day for a week and people are starting to lose things in it. I received a call from Zac about his lost cell phone. His friend Amy posted on her face book page about me finding her keys and so he thought he would give me a try to help find his phone.

We met on Jan. 25th in the afternoon at the park where he lost it. He had been sledding and playing in the snow when it was lost. He said he did an online search and the phone showed up in the park until the battery died.

We walked out in the snow to an area he thought we should start at. The second signal was his phone buried in the snow. He was very happy to have his phone back.

I normally don’t like doing house or apartment searches, guess it’s just because of my hangup having to go through strangers personally stuff.
However after hearing her story it was pretty hard to say no.
Got engaged in January and future husband out of state and she did not have the heart to tell him she lost her ring a,
$15,000 diamond engagement ring , not insured.
Searched for a couple hours and was getting close to calling it when I tried one last thing, took off her pillow shams and found it there.

Wedding ring found Williamsburg, Michigan lost throwing hay to the horses

  • from Traverse City (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

This adventure started with a call from Tim saying he lost his Wedding ring after throwing hay over a fence to the horses. He said he has been married 27 years and would very much like to get the ring back. Tim and his wife had been looking for the ring for 4 days with a $50.00 metal detector they just purchased to try to find the ring. I told Tim I’m not trying to be rude or hurt your feeling but you are wasting your time with that approach. He told me that was exactly what he wanted me to say and when did I want to come to look for the ring. We still had a couple hours of daylight so I told him I could be on the road in fifteen minutes. I was thinking in my head « Horse + Hay = BRING THE TALL BOOTS » then explained some of the basic metal detector operation and why you needed a better detector and someone who knows how to use it. I can do two things tell you where the ring is not at or find the ring.

Fifteen minutes later I was loaded and headed to Tim’s house. When I got to the house Tim showed me the area he was getting the hay from and the three different spots he threw the hay over the fence. He has three horses he was feeding for the night. He did not realize the ring was missing till he was in the house getting ready to go to the neighbor’s house Saturday night. To myself, I’m thinking we don’t have an exact location it was lost but no big deal the area is pretty small. So I started the search and search I did. I searched the hay storage area twice the path he walked on twice and the area on both sides of the fence twice. So after about 2 hours in I was scratching my head on what to do next. I made a decision on grid searching the complete corral area then calling it a night. I had already told Tim I would return Saturday if I did not find the ring tonight. I switched the coil on my CTX3030 to the big 17-inch coil to cover the area faster. I was on my second pass and got a great sounding target but it was 4 inches down. Was thinking to myself the ring cannot be 4 inches down the ground already it is starting to freeze. Either way that sound needed to be investigated further. I ran up to get my raptor digging tool out of my truck, so, I could dig a big piece of the soil out, not do any damage just in case it was the ring. I had the ball of soil in my hand broke it apart and the ring appeared. I almost fell over thinking that is a big chunk of gold I was not expecting. I had only asked Tim what the ring was made of and if it is a small band or a wider one. Well, I cleaned the dirt off stuck the ring on my finger over my glove held my hand up in victory. Tim came out of his truck to see what I was doing, so, I yelled I have the ring. He ran over grabbed the ring off my finger and gave me a big hug. At that time his wife Deanna just got home and he gave her the news. She asked me where I found the ring then gave me a hug thanking me. The ring was out in the corral about 30 from the fence. Tim and I talked for a minute on how the ring could have gotten that far out. I think it got stuck on one of the horse’s hooves and got carried it out that far and he agreed that something like that happened.

I had a great time with Tim and his Wife Deanna they are both great people to talk to. As I was packing up to leave Tim mentioned he was amazed his wife said there are people that will come and look for your ring. He did an internet search and one of my blog posts came up first. He called me and got his ring back the same night. I told him my stuff is always ready. I can be loaded and on the road in 15 minutes if needed. I went home cleaned the horse droppings off my coils put the battery on the charger ready for the next adventure.

LOST ENGAGEMENT RING IN BREAUX BRIDGE, LA. – FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

After Brennon and Alyssa rode their 4 wheeler along the muddy trails, they decided to call it a day. They parked at the area used to wash off the four wheelers and themselves. While washing her hands with a hose, Alyssa felt her engagement ring slip off her finger. They and other riders hunted for it from 8 PM till midnight with no success. The next morning they returned with a newly purchased metal detector to continue the hunt. After finding only foil, pennies and pop tops, Brennon looked at a YouTube video for hunting hints. He saw a “The Ring Finders” decal on a car in the video and went to our website. We got the call from Brennon on Sunday morning. Carrie and I were able to load our equipment and be on site in 1 ½ hours. The hunt area was relatively small but had quite a lot of trash. It was hard bottom with dead matted grass covered by 2 to 4 inches of mud. After 20 minutes of getting everything, including us, covered in mud, Carrie found the ring, tangled in the grass, under the mud. After some happy tears and pictures (and washing off mud from us and our equipment) we were heading home feeling great after reuniting Alyssa with her beautiful ring.

Thank you for your generous reward. Best wishes for a long and happy life together.

A Tale of Redemption: Recovering a Precious Necklace in Somis CA

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

In the quiet of Sunday night, a distress call reached my ears, echoing with the urgency of Kirsten’s plea. Her voice trembled as she recounted the loss of her beloved Emerald and Diamond 18k gold necklace—a cherished memento of her late husband and son. Each stone held a memory, each setting a tribute to their enduring love. Determined to restore what was lost, I pledged to find it.

Today, under the bright Thursday sun, I stood at the threshold of Kirsten’s horse corral and riding arena—the suspected grounds of the necklace’s disappearance. With methodical precision, I charted a course, focusing my efforts on the sprawling expanse of the riding arena.

Navigating the challenges posed by the detector’s struggle with intricate gold chains, I embarked on the search. The arena’s terrain, a medley of sand, dirt, and layered felt, posed a formidable obstacle. Undeterred, I devised a meticulous grid, commencing from the heart and expanding outward, left to right.

As the hours ticked by, my persistence bore fruit—a resounding tone pierced the air, signaling a breakthrough. With bated breath, I knelt, my pinpointer guiding the way. And then, amidst the earth’s embrace, a glimmer of gold emerged—a testament to perseverance and hope.

In the triumph of that moment, Kirsten’s joy knew no bounds. Tears of relief mingled with gratitude as the necklace was returned to its rightful place—a symbol of love reclaimed.

When treasures slip through fingers and hope wanes, trust in the expertise of a metal detector expert to illuminate the path to recovery.
