LOST PLATNIUM ENGAGEMENT RING IN CAMDEN, SC…..FOUND!!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call Wednesday from a gentleman who’s wife had lost her engagement ring while they were out fishing.

They had rented a boat to enjoy spending some quality time fishing together. Just before they were to be putting things away to start heading back, She caought a big catfish and lost her engagement ring mins after the photo was taken. She actually had lost both wedding and engagement but the wedding ring fell in the boat while the engagement feel in about 3-4 feet of water. He tried jumping into the cold water to see if he could save his wife’s ring but sadly with no success. She was understandablly so upset and have been crying.

Thats where I come into the picture. I had to prepare my boat, get my gear ready as I had to plan for a 2.5 hour drive 1-way along with having to cross from the boat ramp side to the other side of the lake to the spot where she lost the ring.

I arrived at 10:00 am, he arrived at about 10:40 and we made the boat ride to the other side. We started where he was pretty confident where she lost it. After a few pulltabs, can pieces, and 2 hours later, I get a good signal that sounds right on top as it should be! After a few scoops I see a platinum diamond ring in the basket!!! By 12:30 ish the ring had been returned. Had to wait for him to get home before he could take a picture of his wife and her happiness!

He told me, “This was so worth it to help my wife stop crying!”

I love helping people find their lost priceless items!!

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Media, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Ron texted me after finding me in the Ring Finders Directory. He was doing some yard work at his home in Media, PA when his 45 year old gold wedding band slipped off his finger. He was 85% sure it fell off in his backyard. He had searched himself for 2-3 hours before calling a professional. I agreed to meet him the next day and upon my arrival he walked me through the area where he thought in fell off. A gold wedding band on the surface has a very unique signal…I also have the ability to zero in my machine on just gold signals. It was quite a large search area…but I started in the area where he spent the most time. 3-4 minutes into the search I received the signal I was hoping for…looked down…and there was his beautiful gold wedding band shining up at me!!! I called Ron  over and to say he was amazed and happy would be an understatement! I was so happy I was able to get his ring back on his finger!!!

 

Ring lost at a San Diego park found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Yanni was at a local park enjoying the day and the various amenities, including playground, grass, and pushing her child on the swings. Somehow, afterward, she discovered her wedding ring was missing from her finger. Since her husband also had once lost his ring and had it found by us, she knew who to call. I arrived a bit early and decided to hit the swings first since nobody was on them. I got about half way done when it seemed EVERYONE wanted to swing. I abandoned the search there and went over to the tot lot to check the playground area. Mostly rubber, but, there was some sand areas I was able to quickly eliminate. I then walked over some grass areas on the way back to the now vacant swings. I got just about done with the swings when I got THE signal. Sure enough, just a few inches down in the wood chips, I found a gold ring. You can see in the one photo how easy a gold ring can hide in wood chips. Yes, it’s there in the center on top! Not knowing what her ring looked like, since she hadn’t arrived yet to describe it or even show me the exact search area, I stored it and continued to detect until she arrived. A few minutes later, Yanni arrived. I asked her to describe the ring, but, instead, she showed me a photo. Bingo! I pulled out the ring and said « yup, that sure looks like the one » as I held it up to the picture. A relieved Yanni can now go about her day with a complete finger. A pleasure meeting you and thank you for the reward.

 

 

 

Lost Wedding Ring on the Beach, Brant Beach NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Jessica’s husband, Mike, lost his cherished wedding ring on the beach during a beautiful summer afternoon. Unsure of what to do, Jessica posted on social media, sharing the location and town where the ring was lost. Many commenters recommended she contact NJ Ring Finder for help and advised her to take down the post to keep the location private.

A few minutes later, my phone rang—it was Jessica. She explained the situation and provided all the necessary details. I assured her I could head over immediately and asked her to keep the area clear of swimmers to avoid disturbing the spot where the ring might be buried.

Jessica told me I could park in front of their house, and from there, we could take a short walk to the beach. Upon arriving, Mike met me, and as we walked to the sand, he described where he thought the ring had been lost.

Once on the beach, Mike pointed out the general area, and fortunately, his memory was accurate. In about 10 minutes, I located the ring buried approximately eight inches deep in the sand, where the tide had been washing over it.

Had I not arrived so quickly, the ring likely would have been swept out to sea. Thanks to prompt action and a bit of luck, Mike and Jessica were reunited with their treasured wedding ring. This recovery highlights the importance of acting fast in situations like these!

After a great day on the water at Joe Pool Lake,  the client placed his wedding on a Yellow and Black Container and set it up on the dock.  He then set his Wedding Band on the Container and continued clearing out his boat.  Finding one more item he reached over the edge and opened the Container and saw his Wedding Ring slip off into the lake.   After finding us on the Ring Finders Website we had him measure the depth of the water.  But amazing it s 26ft deep.  A very deep Dive for our area in total darkness.  Upon arrival we set a drop line with a weight attached in what we hoped would be the exact location of the ring, both the husband and his wife were extremely nervous.  After about f26 minutes I was able to locate the ring 26ft down in the dark.  So fun to see a happy customer.

2 Rings Lost in the Wet Sand – FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

I love starting the day out right!  Jenny has been in town from Minnesota visiting a friend and they went to watch the Blue Angels practice a few days ago. Unfortunately, Jenny took off her wedding ring and a Memorial ring she had made and put them where she thought they were safe. It was only after she got back to her friend’s house that evening that she realized they were gone and reached out to me. I got the info from where all they had been and agreed to go in the morning so I would have plenty of light. I ended up finding them about 4 feet apart very deep in the sand because the wind had blown the water in over them on the beach when the tide came in after they left. I was actually impressed again how deep my equipment can find a ring when set right. Jenny and her friend were both thrilled when I drove over and met them to return the rings. Thanks for trusting me Jenny and congrats on getting your rings back.

Diamond Earring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wayne, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Chris found me in The Ring Finders directory and dropped me a text. Apparently his wife, Molly, lost a very sentimental earring following breakfast at a local restaurant in Wayne, PA. Prior to meeting them at the restaurant later that day, Chris conveyed to me the following details. Molly had been eating breakfast with some friends and while at the table she felt her earring fall off…she picked it up and thought she put it securely back in her ear…but when she got to her car a few minutes later it was not there. They spent several hours searching for it in the parking lot. On the phone I told them that if it fell off in the gravel parking lot it was just as likely they would find it with their eyes vs with a metal detector because it would be right on the surface. They still wanted me to come search. I met them at the restaurant and prior to getting my detector out of car we walked the parking lot as Molly described how she thought the loss occurred. I then went to get my machine out of the car so I could scan the one earing she still had and then begin the search. Well…while walking back to them after grabbing my detector I was hyper focused on scanning the ground…like most of us Ring Finders do…and sure as heck…there was her beautiful earring!!! No metal detector necessary!!! I walked up to Molly and asked her to stick her hand out…confused…she did so…and I dropped her lost earring in her hand. Her and her husband were so full of surprise and joy that the lost earring was back in their possession!!!

Pendant lost at La Jolla Shores found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Adam was playing ball at La Jolla Shores beach when he discovered that his necklace had broken and a treasured pendant was missing. He and his friends searched for it without success. A referral got him to TheRingFinders.com website and my contact info. When I received the call, I was out detecting with a buddy. We were about done anyway, so, we jumped into his car and headed to his house so I could jump into my truck and head out to the beach. When I got there I lucked into a parking spot and contacted Adam. Once on the site, I got the story and found the search area was relatively small. Less than 5 minutes later without a signal so far, I got a steady tone on my Equinox 900 and judging by it and the number readout that this was the probable target. Pin pointer poked into the sand located the object and sure enough, a beautiful pendant came to light. A happy Adam can now relax and enjoy the rest of the day and evening. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.
