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

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

James got in touch with me via the Ring Finders directory after losing his white gold wedding band while at a football practice at Radnor High School in Radnor, PA. I met James the next day at the field and he told me he is the coach of his young son’s football team…he was in the middle of the practice and tossing the football back and forth when he felt his ring come off. He didn’t see it fly through the air but felt it come off for sure. He borrowed a friend’s metal detector to try to find it himself but no luck, He decided he needed the help of a pro…hence the call to me! James was pretty sure of the area of the field where it came off….probably a 30 square yard grassy area. In my experience with these kinds of recoveries where it comes off when throwing something….its quite unpredictable where the ring could’ve flown to. I proceeded to cover the area in a grid like fashion….almost like mowing a lawn…and thoroughly covering every square inch of the search area. A gold ring on the surface has a unique signal on my detector so while I was getting a lot of signals none suggested his ring. About 20 minutes into my search…BOOM… I finally got the signal I was looking for. The grass was quite deep so I had to push the deep grass aside…but after doing so there it was!!!! Don’t think James believed me when I first said I found it….he was so happy and relieved when I handed it to him! I was very happy to be able to get his ring back to him!!!

Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Penn Valley, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Leonard found me in the Ring Finders directory after he lost his platinum wedding band in an elementary school playground in Penn Valley, PA. He spent hours searching for it before reaching out to me for help. I met him the next day at the playground and he explained that due to some recent weight loss the band had become quite loose on his finger. He was with his son and wife at the school’s playground and had his hands full with all kinds of kids stuff when he figured the band must have slid off his finger. He spent the majority of time and was quite convinced the ring fell off in the mulched area of the playground but he also thought maybe it fell off during his walk back and forth to car. I started with a quick scan of entire mulched area of playground….then took 20 minutes and scanned the entire walking path to where his car was parked. Leonard was hanging with me and looking with his eyes as well….we were both convinced it must be there somewhere. After about 60 minutes I was ready to suggest to him we should wrap it up when he told me he dropped a pretzel very near/under a long aluminum bench along the border of the playground. I obviously didn’t check there since a huge metal bench would interfere with my metal detector…we grabbed both ends of bench and moved it 5 feet away…and I proceeded to detect that area. BOOM! I got the beautiful surface ring signal on my detector I had been hoping for! I looked down and there was his beautiful ring! I think I whooped and hollered and scared Leonard! I told him I found it….and his smile said it all! I was very happy to find Leonard’s ring for him!!!

20 Day Old Diamond Engagement Ring Lost, Recovered and Returned in West Chester, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Every woman’s nightmare???….3 weeks post engagement and your ring is missing!!! Maddie is the 3rd future bride that while engaged contacted me looking for help locating a lost engagement ring. I’m proud to say I’m 3 for 3 in being able to recover those rings! Maddie found me in the Ring Finder directory after her ring came up missing after her daily horse ride at her stable in West Chester/Downingtown, PA. I met her the next day at the farm and she told me prior to riding she put her ring in a small side pocket of her riding pants…the same pocket she keeps her phone in. While riding she took her phone in and out of her pocket several times….suggesting the ring probable fell out then. Alternatively, she thought maybe the ring fell out in stable following the ride while cleaning/grooming her horse…and the ring got shoveled up and out with all the hay and horse poop. When I first arrived I first scanned with my metal detector the 10 foot x 10 foot manure pile by the stable….I didn’t want to spend the hours scanning the riding ring if it might be right there in the poop pile…but nope…not there. Maddie then walked me out to the riding ring…the circular area was probably around 50 yards accross and she told me she pretty much criss-crossed the entire area on her ride. I decided to just start in middle and work outwards walking an a circular pattern with my metal detector…scanning outward and outward. 30 minutes into the search I received the beautiful surface gold ring signal I was hoping for….I looked down and there was this gorgeous white gold diamond ring!!! Maddie was standing 10 yards away looking down and slightly sad…I made a noise to get her attention and held up her ring!!! The visceral joyful relief on her face is what I live for!!! I was so happy to be able to reunite Maddie with her beautiful ring….I wish her the best in her life and her marriage!!!!

Sentimental Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Clifford contacted me through the Ring Finder Directory after losing his tantalum wedding band at a school playground in Philadelphia, PA. He texted me and asked if we could discuss my services and the details surrounding his lost ring. In speaking with him he conveyed he was supervising the children on the playground while his ring was in his pocket…he believed the ring probably fell to the ground after he took his phone in and out of his pocket several times. He noticed the ring was missing while still there but the grass was quite deep and the area where lost was large. He figured his only hope was a metal detector…hence the call. I met him at the school the next day and he showed me the area where he was standing when the ring was lost. School was in session at the time so I had quite an audience looking on! Like most school yards trash was abundant so my machine was very noisy and I had to hyper focus on only stopping for a « surface ring » signal unique to my detector. Well after about 20 minute of searching I finally got the signal I was looking for….after bending down and pushing the high grass aside….there was Cliff’s beautiful band! Cliff had to go to work so he wasn’t present when I found…I immediately texted him a picture of his ring…and received « My guy! You are awesome » text back! I was happy to leave the ring with one of his coworkers to get back to the rightful owner!!!

LOST GOLD RING IN APEX……. FOUND!!!!!!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:
Got a text from a buddy that his co-workers girlfriend lost a gold ring that she’s had since she was a girl. Her grandmother let her pick it out and she bought it for her.
She got home from work; it was almost dark, and she was throwing a dog toy around for her dog when she felt the ring slipping off as she threw the toy. She tried to stop in mid throwing motion.
I came out with the XP Deus II and covered the area. Took me about an hour and twenty mins to find because it was 5 inches from an aluminum pathway strip that went out to the fire pit.
After adjusting the DISC to eliminate the high tone. The gold ring was a 51/52!
Found and returned!

Gold Ring Lost While Landing A Fish In Stella, NC Found

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

Amanda was in the process of landing a 5.5 pound Black Drum off of her boat dock.  Suddenly, the very sentimental ring that her mother gave her many years ago, slid off of her finger and bounced off of the dock and into the dark waters below.  We agreed to meet the next day and after getting her account of the previous days events, I grabbed my gear and methodically panned the waters around then under the boat dock.  I received 2 separate signals on my Minelab Excalibur II.  I wiggled my way under the dock mindful these waters hold poisonous snakes and alligators.  The area was tight and I used my Garrett pinpointer to scan the area the Excalibur report metal.  I grasped a large handful of sand and mud and brought it to the surface.  Amanda’s ring was now in my hand.  She said it was the 3rd time this ring had been lost and found.  She also said it will not be going fishing anymore, lol.

Lost Ring throwing football – FOUND in Gulf Shores

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

I had the pleasure of helping out Joe Hess the other day. Joe and his family were down visiting Gulf Shores from their home in Indiana. Joe had been on the beach throwing football with his son when his wedding ring came flying off and quickly buried somewhere in the sand. Joe and his wife have been married 20 years so everyone began looking for it to no avail. With the tide rising in the afternoon they found me online and had me come over from Pensacola. My wife and I loaded up and quickly made our way over and met Joe on the beach. I started looking in the area he thought it was and quickly realized this was going to be a bigger search than Joe thought. My wonderful wife went to the car to get my biggest coil to cover more ground while I asked Joe more questions. Joe ended up telling me that he was using his left hand to throw the ball because his right was hurt and I worried that he may have flicked his hand awkwardly towards the water. I changed coils quickly and started a search where the water was coming in with the tide. I made one pass and as I got halfway back in the edge of the surf I heard a really deep tone. I took a huge scoop and drug it up on the sand to be safe. As soon as I broke open the sand with my hand I saw Joe’s gold band and turned around with a big smile. I’m so glad that Joe called quickly and we found it even quicker. That ring was too important to lose to that incoming tide. Congrats Joe!

Lost Designer Prescription Sunglasses, Honeymoon Island State Park, Dunedin, Fl….Found!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)
Contact:

 


Steve Thomas

Dunedin Ring Finder

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please call me ASAP at (843) 995-4719. I offer a free metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

Julie was enjoying the warm waters of Honeymoon Island State Park when a wave took her Cocoa Mint designer prescription sunglasses off her face. She searched for awhile in the waist deep water for her glasses but was unable to locate them. Julie then posted on one of the local social media groups called Dunedin Discussions to see if anyone had found the glasses and I saw her post and reached out to her. We set up a search for the next day.

I met Julie on the beach the next day and she directed me to the area where she lost her sunglasses. I began in waist deep water and worked my way in towards the shore and up to the wet sand with my detector. After about a 1 1/2 hour search including searching the dry sand up to where Julie was sitting on the beach, I was unable to locate her glasses. Julie had to leave the beach to meet up with her family so I told her I would continue the search. I returned to the water and searched about an hour more, expanding the search area in all directions from my initial search location. I then came out of the water in order to head home for a break and realized that my hand held detecting pinpointer was missing. I had inadvertently left it in my pocket when doing the sand search and it probably came out when I got back in the water. Now I was looking for two items instead of one! I returned once again to the water and after searching briefly, I found Julie’s sunglasses and they were undamaged! I immediately  contacted her and sent her a photo of her recovered glasses. Needless to say, she was extremely happy and I returned them to her about an hour later. Unfortunately I never recovered my pinpointer but it’s all good!

Julie, it was a pleasure meeting you and being able to return your sunglasses.

Ring lost at Fiesta Island found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Bree contacted me saying that her husband Luis (they just got married in July) lost his wedding band while playing with their dog on Fiesta Island. She couldn’t meet me there to show me the search area, but, sent me a google map with a pin at ground zero, which was by a fire ring where they had set up. Going by the map and GPS, a buddy and I reached the area and started a grid. This beach is REALLY junky, so, small coil time and slow sweeping was the name of the game. Nothing right around the fire ring, so, we expanded out from there. Another pass or two and Luis’s ring came to light. Bree came and picked up the ring and plans to surprise Luis with his ring at Christmas. A pleasure to meet you Bree, and thank you for the reward.
