Lost Gold Pendant in Public Park-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Jae late Thursday evening and she said she had lost her gold pendant in a local public park.  She and her friend had looked all evening until around midnight that night.  The pendant was made from the engagement ring her grandfather had given her grandmother in 1942. So it was very sentimental to her and all she had left of her grandparents.  The grass in that area was pretty deep, so finding it by sight was nearly impossible.  I got there by around noon the next day on Friday.  She had the area marked where she noticed the broken necklace.  I had marked out a block for my search that was about 75 feet by 50 feet.  That search area bordered a sidewalk on one side.  Being a public park I assumed the ground there would be very contaminated with metallic trash and other items, and it did not dissapoint.  Fortunately, with the Manticore metal detector I was able to differentiate between what was on the surface and what was deeper.  That still lengthens the search time because every target has to be inspected before moving on.  I completed the grid search in the block I had marked out and found nothing except pull tabs and a nickle.  So I moved down a little and marked out another block, this one a little smaller.  About halfway through that search area I was about 12 feet from the sidewalk and I got a 41 on the Manticore that was on the surface.  The grass there was about 3 inches deep so I pulled out my pinpointer to locate whatever it was.  The pendant was there, completely covered with grass and was not visible to the eye.  My total search time was about 2 hours.

Lost Grandfathers Ring in Concrete Mix

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a gentleman who was mixing concrete for a row of 2 X 2 Steps.  He was making about 20 steps for a customers’ walkway.  In the process, due to some recent weight loss, his treasured ring which his Grandfather had worn his entire life and then passed on to our him disappeared.  Short story, he had the ring on, made 20 concrete steps and 2 hours later when finished the ring was gone.

He was pretty sure it was in the 3rd step as a bag of quikCrete had burst open and he had scooped concrete with his hands.  Upon arrival with our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors we began scanning each step.  Few normal beeps and noises until I reached the 1st step.  It was not a normal Gold Signal but it was extremely strong.  I told the customer, I’m not sure it’s your ring but there’s definitely something there.

He said OK and picked up the 2X2 step and threw it on the ground breaking it into pieces, then he yelled “There it Is”. He did a little dance in the yard, gave us a big hug and told us we made his year.

This hobby/business is so much fun…

Lost 48 year old wedding ring – Found!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Charles and Marty were visiting all the way from Seattle. When you have worn your wedding ring for 48 years and it goes missing on the beach, you can’t just let it go. Luckily Charles’ and his wife Marty tracked me down and asked me to give them a hand. They weren’t sure exactly where it had come off but they had good directions to where they had been sitting with their family the day before so that was a pretty good starting place. Marty and Charles weren’t able to be there for the search but I could hear how important this ring was to them in Marty’s voice when we spoke on the phone. I was thrilled when I called back later and asked where I could meet them to drop off Charles’ ring. They were almost in disbelief and the entire family cheered in the background. I met them later and got some fantastic hugs as we put the ring back where it belongs. Congratulations Charles and Marty!

Lost ring on the Beach at Night – FOUND!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

My wife and I were out of town this weekend but luckily Hannah was right down the road when she gave me a call. Hannah and her husband were walking on the beach the night before when her husband fell and felt his wedding band go flying. I searched the entire area they thought it might be but it was nowhere to be found. My wife pointed to another area and said, “what about over there?”  I said it couldn’t hurt to try and only went a few feet when the gold band came up gleaming in the sand. I don’t know who was prouder, my wife or Hannah. Her husband is going to be thrilled when he gets home from work. 😃

I FOUND Joel’s LOST GOLD Wedding Ring with my metal detector.

  • from Kerrville (Texas, United States)
Contact:

Joel called and said he believed he lost his family heirloom gold wedding ring while removing leaves from his yard. He said he got my phone number from theringfinders.com. I told him not to disturb the leaves that he bagged and do not rake any more leaves. I drove the 90 miles from Kerrville to Joel’s house in New Braunfels, Texas. Within 10 minutes I had recovered Joel’s ring slightly buried in the earth below a pile of leaves. Joel was ecstatic to have his ring back. Joel said he thought about renting or buying a metal detector but realized he wouldn’t know how to properly use it. Smart man Joel! Leave it to the experts, contact theringfinders.com when you lose you precious items.

Rogue Strong Wave Results In Lost Wedding Rings And Found Later With Determined Effort

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

Diane messaged me that she was frolicking near their North Topsail beach rental when a large wave came and knocked her over. As her hands plunged into the sandy bottom, her loose wedding rings slipped off. She didn’t realize they were gone until she returned to the beach house. I started my search in the rolling waves just before low tide after asking a few questions. Sadly, the rings remained unfound on this initial try. Diane attempted to show me a photo taken by someone in her group right after her fall, but the glare and my poor vision made it impossible to see on her phone. I requested the photos be sent to me, and upon reviewing them on my laptop, I understood I had been searching too far out; the tides suggested she must have been nearer to the dry sand.

On my second attempt, I spent over two hours conducting a North-South and East-West grid search in the wet sand around low tide. My arms ached from the effort as I expanded the search zone. At last, a bit beyond my previous search area, I discovered the beautiful ring hidden under the wet sand, a spot that would have been submerged most of the time. I called Diane over, and her relief was palpable, especially since they were set to leave the next day and had begun packing.

Act fast—call or text Dave MacDonald, the metal detection expert serving Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties, at 805-290-5009. Time, tides, lawnmowers, and even other detectorists can work against you, so don’t delay!
I recently got a call from Glory, a young woman unwinding after weekend classes at Pacifica Graduate Institute near Santa Barbara. She’d been playing volleyball with friends on a grassy field when a powerful spike sent her grandmother’s ring soaring off her finger into the grass. Glory and her friends searched for hours in the Montecito-area hills, but the ring stayed hidden. Desperate, they turned to the internet and found me—Dave MacDonald, the local metal detection specialist—and set up a time for me to help.
I couldn’t make it that day, but I promised Glory I’d arrive at sunrise the next morning. She was nervous about heading back to Berkeley before the search, so I reassured her I’d mail the ring to her once found. At dawn, I arrived in Summerland—just minutes from Carpinteria and Montecito—met the campus security guard, and mapped out a grid pattern to scan with my Minelab Manticore. After three careful passes, I got a sharp high tone. Using my pinpointer, I confirmed a surface target, parted the grass, and there it was: a stunning 24k gold ring nestled in the green.
I showed it to the guard, and we agreed it matched Glory’s description. I snapped a photo, texted it to her, and confirmed it was her grandmother’s ring. Now, it’s safely on its way back to Berkeley, where it belongs!

Lost Wedding Ring, Ortley Beach NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Metal detector rental

It was a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore, the perfect opportunity for Lisa and her friends to enjoy some time at the beach. What they didn’t plan for, however, was losing her rings in the soft, sugar-like sand so typical of these beaches. After searching for a while with no luck, someone in the group suggested calling NJ Ring Finder for help. Having heard about many successful recoveries on Long Beach Island and nearby areas, they were hopeful it wouldn’t be a wasted call.
Once I got the call, we arranged to meet shortly after. As I walked down the dune path towards the beach, I saw the group gathered in a large circle around their chairs, securing the area where the rings were lost. After a quick conversation to get the details, I got to work, carefully moving my metal detector’s coil back and forth across the sand.
Within just a few passes, the detector gave off a low, steady tone. I had a strong feeling this was it, and sure enough, BINGO—it was her ring! Everyone was amazed at how quickly the recovery happened.
Another successful search in the books. I love this job—saving vacations and creating lasting memories!

Lost Ring at Perdido Key, FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

It’s not really summer anymore but we are still blessed with beautiful weather and that means days on the beach. Jennifer and her husband of 15 years came down from Arkansas and had been enjoying Perdido Key when calamity struck. Jennifer had taken her Diamond wedding band off and put it in the cup holder of her chair. After several relocations of the chair to find the perfect spot, Jennifer found herself packing up with the realization that her ring was gone. She Google searched and found me and luckily I was already nearby. She wasn’t sure if it was in the water or on the beach so I started with the easy part first. I had just set up a grid search and only barely started to cover the area when I heard a tone that had to be gold. I gently scooped it up and smiled at Jennifer. She came running over and magically the vacation was saved. Congrats Jennifer, I’m very proud that I could help you. God Bless!
