Lost wedding ring search in Lexington, NC

  • from Winston-Salem (North Carolina, United States)

If you have lost a ring or any other jewelry and need a Metal Detecting service to help you recover it, give me a call or text. Brad (336) 793-5698. Its important that you contact as soon as possible. I have a Metal Detecting service and can come out and help you find your lost item.

I received a call from Barry whom explained he had a long shot assignment. Few years prior, he and wife had traveled and to be safe she hid her ring in the home for safe keeping. Following return from their travels wife realized that her ring could not be found. They searched the home for a long time and are of the belief that it could have been vacuumed. Their home has a central vacuum system and Barry said he always empties the canister in a garden area and asked if I would assist in metal detecting the garden area. I advised I would be glad to assist upon my return from being out of town.

Upon my return I contacted Barry and coordinated a time to meet with him Sunday afternoon ahead of approaching bad weather. Upon arrival Barry walked me to the garden area (approximately size of a football field) and pointed out the area that he dumps the canister. I grid searched finding only old ammunition casings and square nails 3 to 5 inches below the surface. After searching and sunset approaching we jointly agreed that although not finding the missing ring we had successfully eliminated the garden as a the rings location.

In my previous life I was an electrician and have installed many central vacuum systems and asked Barry « if » the piping between the connection points to the canister rose or dropped to the canister. He advised they were lower but the run of piping did rise at one point. I suggested that he make what electricians refer to as a rat (Conduit Piston) and let it travel from the connection point to the cannister by turning on the vacuum to pull it. The ring could be trapped inside the pipe and the rat may push the ring to the cannister. I also explained it worked like the pneumatic tubes at many drive up teller windows at banks. Barry was very thankful for the suggestion and advised he would let me know of the results.

Few weeks later I read a post of another ring finder having found a ring lost in a similar manner. This prompted me to contact Barry and share the article [ Link to Article ].

Unfortunately the ring has not been recovered as of this writing. I would like to encourage anyone losing jewelry to reach out to a professional as quickly as possible for assistance but mainly to emphasize we Ring Finders are always glad to assist in any way we can.

Again, if this has happened to you, whether it’s a ring, Watch, necklace, on the beach, in the water or in your backyard give us a call.

22k Gold Ring Lost in the Snow is Recovered in Schaumburg, Illinois

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

Saturday morning while searching for a set of keys for another client, I received a phone call from Karteek. When I was able to return his call he asked if I looked for lost jewlery. I assured him that I most definitely do search for lost jewlery.  He went on to tell me that he had just lost a gold ring in his backyard, and with the snow storm that we had the day before he couldn’t locate it in the deep snow in his yard. We figured I was only about 15 minutes away, so I told him that I was on my way and I’d be there shortly! When I arrived Karteek met me by the garage and took me around into the backyard. I could clearly see where he had been standing and where the snow was disturbed in their attempts to find the missing ring. So I started a small grid search,  starting left to right. After about 5 passes and along the right side of the grid pattern I got solid 20 on the Equinox 800. I used my Garrett pinpointer to then search the deep snow. The pinpointer immediately went off indicating that something very shallow was very close. So I started to sift through the snow until I seen the glint of gold!! I had Karteek come over and see it laying in the snow. He immediately grabbed it and slid it back on to his finger where it belongs!

Success!!

Lost Ring Rescued After Playing Football in Stevens Point Yard

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)

Cerria contacted me via text on October 15th requesting my help to help recover a ring she lost throwing the football around with one of her sons a few days ago. She mentioned « I lost the ring in my yard. I was wearing two rings on the same finger. I found one that landed and rolled on the concrete…this was a heavier one. The other, I have had not any luck finding and assuming the ring landed in the grass. I’m devastated. It’s a thinner gold ring with diamonds. » We agreed on a time to meet on Friday AM, October 17th. Like a good detective. I always try to ask good questions and had Cierra recreate the activity. She suggested I look in the same area where the heavier ring was found. I looked thoroughly…The grass was sod and very, very thick. I expected the ring be a « surface » find but stuck and hidden under the heavy grass. I recovered the ring about a foot off from the edge of the driveway where she was throwing the football to her son. Cierra was more than happy with plenty of smiles to go around.

Intentionally Lost Ring Found in Lebanon, TN

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

A client in Lebanon, TN called me on 09-18-2025 after finding my information on TheRingFinder website. His wife was upset this morning and threw her white gold with a diamond wedding ring in their very expansive back yard. I made the 45 minute drive and arrived within an hour of his call. Without getting into the details of the reason for his wife throwing the ring, I only asked where she was standing when she threw the ring, what direction she threw it and how hard she threw it. The client pointed out and approximate 30’ by 30’ area of the grassy yard. He also said he had scanned over the same 30’ by 30’ area with a cheap metal detector, which was evident by the countless clumps of grass that he had uprooted after getting a signal on that cheap metal detector he was using.

After about 30 minutes I located the gorgeous ring in the 4” tall grass. It was in fact with the 30’ by 30’ area the client said it would be in. The client was very grateful that the ring was recovered, but it goes without saying that neither the client or his wife wanted their picture taken with the ring.

Wedding ring recovered by ring finder in Long Beach

  • from Sunset Beach (California, United States)

Justin called me to help find his wife’s wedding ring in Long Beach, California. Apparently she brushed the sand off her hands which sent her ring flying onto the beach. She was very distraught and every time I pulled out a piece of trash I think she was losing hope.

After about 15 minutes I was able to find her ring. She was overcome with joy when I pulled it out of the sand. No picture of the happy couple.

White Gold Wedding Ring lost and found in Hampshire, Illinois.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

I received a text message from Nick today (6-28-2025) about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, asking if I still metal detected for lost rings.
I responded, « Yes, I do. »
He went on to tell me that he thinks that he might have lost it at the ball diamonds earlier this morning while coaching his daughters softball team. So we set up a time to meet around 7 p.m. at the ballfields. When I arrived, Nick showed me where they had practiced earlier in the day. Nick and his wife spent a few hours searching the diamond for Nick’s lost ring, with no luck. That’s when Nick found a Reddit post about @theringfinders and a successful search that took place in Nebraska. Nick then searched out The Ring Finders .com and found me there and reached out from there. I started by searching the piles of dirt that Nick had raked up. Oh, did I mention that Nick and his wife had raked the entire infield by hand, looking for his ring!! Unfortunately, to no avail. So I then did an entire grid search on the infield, again to no avail. That’s when Nick suggested that I search the small grass strip in front of the dugout. So I started behind home plate and started searching towards 3rd base as Nick followed along. About half way to 3rd I got the sound I was waiting for! A double tapping low tone! The DĒUS II VDI display was flashing a solid 58! As I looked down at the ground I could see Nick’s 10K white gold wedding ring laying in the grass!

Success!!
Another smile for the book! 😁👍🏼

A couple of years ago Collin’s wife was in their front yard getting ready to pull some weeds and decided to remove her engagement and wedding ring and put them in a small pocket in her jacket to keep them safe. She spent maybe 25 minutes doing yard work and as she was finishing up she reached into her pocket and could only find her engagement ring. That led to another 25 minutes of searching high and low but her lost wedding ring was nowhere to be found.

Fast forward two years and the nagging thought of her lost wedding ring still out there somewhere in her front yard lead them to research « How to find a ring in the grass »! They found my name and number on theringfinders.com website and after hearing their story I showed up the next day to do a search. Collin showed me the small front yard and mentioned that his wife had started pulling weeds in a small mulched area so that is where I opted to start swinging my Deus 2 metal detector. I swung my coil two times and instantly got a signal that indicated a low tone and shallow as well. I kicked some of the mulch aside and low and behold there was a small gold ring just waiting to be recovered and both Collin and I could not believe it had happened so fast! How I thank God for helping me find their lost wedding ring and for being a blessing to them in their time of need.

How can I help you? Call or text me anytime and let’s talk…321-363-6029!

Gold Wedding Ring found in Machesney Park Illinois

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

I received a text message from Jeff asking if I could possibly help find his wife’s wedding ring that had been lost in their backyard about 4 months ago. Of course I agreed, we then set up a day and time that worked best for both of us to do a search. I met Jeff at his house a few days later after we both got off of work. He took me into the backyard and showed me the area that they believed that it was in. So I divided the yard in half, diagonally, and began a grid pattern from their backdoor to a large tree in the corner of the yard. On my 4th past I received a loud repeating 50 VDI signal that was « double tapping » on my DĒUS II. In my experiences, a ring on the surface or close to it will make this « double tapping » sound. I told Jeff, « This might be it right here. » I checked the snow covered grass with my pinpointer, which immediately sounded off! After a little digging with my fingers in the grass, roots, and dirt I could see a shiny circle peeking through! I said, « There it is! » And handed it to Jeff as he came walking over to me.

Lost ring in the grass in Longwood, Florida…found with a metal detector!

If you have lost something and need help or information on how to find a lost metallic item…call or text Mike, the Florida Ring Finder at 321-363-6029…anytime!

As the weather cools here in sunny Florida, it seems like even the critters are looking for ways to stay warm and as Sean attempted to chase an insect out of his front door and into his front yard, he felt his gold wedding ring slip off of his finger and in a second it just disappeared.  He just knew it couldn’t have gone too far but the more he searched the more he realized he needed a metal detector.  His first attempt at renting and using a cheap detector proved more frustrating than helpful and all he was left with were holes in the grass and a bill for the rental.  And then he came across theringfinders.com web site and after reading a few of my recovery stories he decided to give me a call.  The next day I met Sean and he explained what happened while showing me the exact area he was standing when he lost his wedding ring.  I set up my Deus 2 metal detector and began my first sweep along the driveway and as I returned up towards the front door I got a clear medium tone just behind a small Christmas sign decoration and as I probed with my pin pointer I could barely make out Sean’s lost gold wedding ring.  Sean could not believe it was there…so close…yet so well hidden in the fading winter grass.

Have you lost something recently or even years ago and need a ring finders help?  Call or text me ASAP…don’t wait…call now 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.
