Recently Mitch was doing some yard work including blowing the yard as well as the large concrete pad his RV was sitting on. Shortly after he returned inside, he realized that his gold chain and an attached gold sailboat charm were no longer around his neck. After a search outside near the RV, the chain was found lodged in a crack between the concrete pad and a concrete step leading away from the pad. Mitch searched the pad and the small yard area but was unable to locate the small gold charm. He was unsure about how the chain came off of his neck but the charm was one that slid onto the chain and apparently that’s how it became separated. Mitch figured that the necklace had come off as he was working under and blowing around the edge of the large RV.

Mitch’s wife Durene found my contact information on a local social media page and Mitch emailed me to find out about my metal detecting services. I was out of town at the time but I told Mitch that we could set up a search as soon as I returned. On the day I returned to town, I already had another search set up for that morning about two hours away and I called Mitch on the way back from that successful search and left him a message that I could search for him that afternoon. I did not receive a return call from Mitch so I decided to stop by his house to see if he and Durene were home. As it turns out when I arrived, Mitch had been pressure washing the RV pad as well as the front sidewalk and driveway and had not seen my call. Mitch took me back behind the fence to the side yard where the RV was stored and I began my ground search for the charm around the RV. Since it appeared that the necklace had been blown just off the concrete pad as Mitch was blowing around and under the RV, he guessed that the charm must have been blown off the pad and further out into the yard. I searched for about 45 minutes with Mitch assisting on the digging but only found a couple of coins (including a 1941 nickel!) and some scrap metal. I had just completed my search around the RV when Mitch, who was behind me standing on the pad, called to me and held up his gold sailboat charm that he had just found in a crack in the concrete pad! He had already searched the pad for the charm but he guessed that when he pressure washed it the charm was pushed up out of the crack. This is the second or third time that the owner I was searching for found his own jewelry! After a happy Durene came out of the RV to hear the good news, she gave me some of her homemade candy.

Mitch and Durene, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder to help you find your lost gold charm! Safe travels and look forward to your blog posts!

Lost Diamond/Garnet Gold Ring in Arlington,TX

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We are off to a an exciting 2025, so many calls this year already.

This afternoon we got a call from a lady who said 3 days ago she was working in her very large front yard, clearing weeds and frozen plants clean-up.  At the end of the day she realized her Ring Guard and her Diamond/Garnet center Ring were gone off her hand,

Very distraught, she search and searched, she even purchased a metal detector and it totally confused her because she had no one to teach her how to use it.  She had her husband and children out searching but no luck.  Her husband finally said ”just hire a professional”.  So she searched the internet and found The Ring Finders and called us.

As luck would have it we were only 20 minutes away having just finished another Ring find.  So we immediately went over and did our search.  After just a few passes through the yard and flower beds, when I got a solid 45 Gold Signal on our Garrett AT Pro.  We were able to put a big smile on her face that made our day….we love our hobby.

Spring Lake NJ, Wedding Ring Lost in the sand, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Erin had posted on her local Facebook page about her husbands lost wedding ring on the beach, providing detailed information about the location. Several followers of NJ Ring Finder tagged me in the post, and Erin soon reached out for help. The first thing I advised her was to remove the location details to prevent anyone else from trying to hunt for it. By the time she contacted me, the ring had already been on the beach for 24 hours. Fortunately, I knew the area well—it wasn’t a frequently searched beach, so I felt confident the ring would still be there.

Since Erin had already returned home for the weekend, we arranged for me to meet her parents on the beach the following day. When I arrived, they met me on the boardwalk, and as we walked toward the location, they explained what had happened when the ring was lost. They were fairly certain about the general area, though it was a bit large, and if it wasn’t there, suggested it might be a few feet farther north, closer to the lifeguard chair.

I began methodically working my way back and forth through the marked area. As I passed by where Erin’s parents were sitting, her father pointed out some trash, seaweed, and shells that he remembered being there when the ring was lost. He was confident this was the exact spot. Just a few swings of my detector later, I got a nice low tone—one that very well could have been the ring. Sure enough, as I shook the sand out of my scoop, I heard the unmistakable clink of metal.

Erin’s parents were amazed that I found the ring, and with that, another happy ending to a weekend on the Jersey Shore.

I post every recovery story on Facebook — check them out!

Gold and Diamond Wedding Band Lost On Job Site Near Punta Gorda, Fl…Found With Metal Detector!!

Taylor was working with his buddies Donald and Matthew on a job site building a new fence. The site was next to a fire station that serves the town of Babcock Ranch, Fl. which is the first solar powered town in the United States and located near Punta Gorda. Taylor was clearing some brush and tossing it into a pile when at some point he realized that his gold and diamond wedding band appraised at about $4000 that he had only had for about eight months had flown off of his finger into the brush and grass. He and his friends searched for the ring two days including raking the grass and cut brush as well as using an inexpensive metal detector but were unable to find his ring. Taylor began searching on line for some help, found me on social media and called me. I normally travel no more than an hour or so from Dunedin in the Tampa area to conduct searches and Babcock Ranch was a little over two hours from my home but I decided to drive down to see if I could recover Taylor’s ring. I also had another search I could do for a lost gold charm on the return home.

I met Taylor at the site, fired up the Minelab Equinox 900, and began the search under Taylor’s direction. I swept a grassy, weedy area next to the fire station in a grid fashion and worked my way towards a very low concrete wall where the fence was being constructed on the other side. I detected some scrap metal pieces including a few screws and washers as well as several rusty pennies over the course of about an hour and even though I had an idea of the VDI number I was looking for on my detector, I was going to dig every surface or near surface target. Taylor and his friends continued to work and watch at the same time especially when I was digging a target. I could tell that Taylor was beginning to get a little concerned because the primary search area was not very large and I was almost finished. I then detected a strong surface target over a  cut grassy area that displayed 36-37 on my Nox 900. I pushed away the loose grass with my pinpointer and there lay Taylor’s shiny ring staring back at me! I called to Taylor who was working close by and told him to come over. He stared down at the ring with a look of surprise and disbelief and then all four of us began to celebrate. Taylor then called Katie who had given him the ring and she was overjoyed with the news. And they are expecting their first child!

Taylor, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find your wedding ring! It was a pleasure meeting you, Donald and Matthew. Matt, good luck with your fishing charter business Southwest Shorelines!

Ring Lost While Sledding: Recovered by Rob Ellis, Fairfax, VA.

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

It was the first time Eugenio had seen snow. His wife and another couple decided to have some fun sledding on the Fairfax George Mason Campus. At some point, Eugenio noticed his platinum and gold wedding band was missing. He contacted me and the next day we set up a search. Eugenio got permission from the GMU police, and we met at the campus station. The short drive to the hill and walk to the sledding area seemed much longer because it was only 30 degrees Fahrenheit! I wanted to search for the ring before more sledders arrived and the ring was pushed deeper into the muck.

The hill had three sides the couples used for sledding. Metal detecting up and down the slopes was challenging, and the cold wind was brutal. I could sense Eugenio’s despair that we might not find his ring. Finally, at the base of the last search area, I heard a beautiful sounding target with my Equinox 900. I scrapped down a couple of inches to confirm and then called Eugenio over to pick up his beautiful ring.

Found Here!

Four Inches of Snow Removed

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Matt and his family were attending the New Year’s Day Dolphin Dip on Surf City beach. This event draws a large crowd to take a polar plunge into the cold Atlantic Ocean’s water. Matt removed necklace and stored it out of sight, and when it was time to leave, he left the area without his necklace. He returned a short time afterward to find dredge pipes laying where his family had their belongings.
This necklace holds great meaning for Matt. His grandfather purchased identical necklaces for the grandsons during a trip to Norway when Matt was just a boy. Being a boy, he lost his necklace shortly afterward. After Matt’s brother passed away, Matt began wearing his brother’s necklace in remembrance of both his brother grandfather.
Matt reached out to Crystal Coast Ring. dredge pipes had been moved, and a search began shortly. Though he wasn’t present, Matt provided detailed information and a of where to search. It wasn’t long before Matt’s valuable necklace was found.

LOST WEDDING BAND IN NEW IBERIA, LA.-FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Lani’s husband lost his black tungsten wedding band in a field near their home. They searched with and without a metal detector for a week. I got the call, and once I had an understanding of the job, made the 45-minute trip to the location. I met with Lani to go over the area where the ring was lost. I laid out a search area of about 1000 square feet. The first half was dry, the second had 1″ of water with the grass being about 4 inches tall. The whole area was trash-free, so all sounds were taken seriously.  About halfway thru the second half (the wet one) I got a strong 48 reading on my Garrett. Had to move grass and poke around with the pin-pointer for the ring.  Lani was very happy and so was I. Thank you, Lani, for the generous reward.

Platinum and Gold Wedding Band Lost During Hurricane Milton Evacuation…Found with Metal Detector in Seminole, Fl.!!

“It’s Only Lost Until I Find It!

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach including the water or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Don’t waste time and money purchasing your own metal detector to try to find your lost item. Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

Melissa and her family evacuated her home in Seminole. Fl. as powerful Hurricane Milton was threatening the area. Included in their preparations was removing the fish from their aquarium and Melissa had remembered removing her wedding ring and placing it in her jacket pocket to do this. Melissa then made a number of trips to place personal items in their cars before leaving the house. She also walked next door to check with her neighbors to see if they might secure their trash cans. It was dark by that time and as she was walking over she kicked something in the driveway that she thought at the time was a rock. It was sometime after Melissa was at her mother’s home where she had evacuated that she realized that her precious ring was no longer in her jacket pocket! After the threat of the storm was over, Melissa searched her home and yard as well as the edge of her neighbor’s yard for the ring but was unable to locate it. She was also concerned of the possibility that the ring in her pocket got hung up in a tissue also in her pocket that she later threw away.

About three months later, Melissa saw the story of my most recent ring recovery on a local social media page and found out about the metal detecting services I offered. She messaged me and we set up a time for me to search. I met Melissa and after she provided me the details of the loss, I began my search of the yard (which was small with a circular driveway) on the side yard and then moved to the front yard beginning with the strip of grass between the sidewalk and grass. I had only dug a few targets including several pieces of scrap metal and a penny. I did not have the husband’s matching wedding ring to provide me with a good target number to look for on my detector display and the ring was a mixture of platinum and gold so I was going to dig every target close to the surface. As I got close to the driveway I detected a solid surface target that rang up 71-72 on my Minelab Equinox 900 detector. Melissa had just stepped inside her home for a minute and as I probed into the grass with my handheld pinpointer, I spotted Melissa’s beautiful ring nestled well down into the grass and about half buried. I went to Melissa’s door and when she opened it I told her that I think I found what we were looking for! We walked over and I pulled the ring out of the grass where it had laid for over three months and handed it to her and Melissa began crying tears of joy. For me, the first “rush” comes with the find and the second one comes when I give the ring back to its owner. This never gets old!

Melissa, thank you for contacting Steve Thomas, Dunedin Ring Finder and trusting me to find your wedding ring!
