I was contacted by Lynn who informed me her husband had lost his gold wedding ring while working in the front yard of the house. This is common during this time of year as many of my calls are for items lost doing end of the season cleanup. We made arrangements for me to come out the next day as I probably would have ran out of daylight by the time I arrived.

I arrived the next day and was greeted by Lynn and shortly after her husband Hal. Hal explained that he saw the ring come off his finger and heard it clink on something before it disappeared. They had been removing leaves one by one from the area where it was lost being careful not to throw the ring into the leaf bags.

I looked around and they had done a very good job of cleaning up the immediate area. I was thinking the ring was further back hidden in the bushes. I began to search and came up empty. There was an azalea bush in a metal cage to keep the deer away and it sounded just like the ring I was looking for. I informed Hal that we might have to take the cage down for me to find it. He asked if I would check the leaf bags before we did that in the off chance it was there before we removed the cage. I started to check the bags using my pinpointer…and inside the first bag I got a hit. We dumped the bag only to find out it was not the ring. I checked the other bag and went back up to the front yard in the area by the bushes. I asked Hal if we could take the cage down and started to look one more time prior to doing so. All of sudden I got a nice sound and on the exterior of the garden bed next to the brick edging was the ring! I was confident that I was going to find it but thought for sure it was going to be in the bushes. It was a relief to find it and before we took the cage off. Hal was extremely thankful and appreciative!

In talking to Hal he informed me that the ring was a family heirloom and had belonged to his grandfather who was a war hero that fought in both WWI and WWII. The ring was immensely important to him as an heirloom and wedding band and I was glad I was able to locate it. I spent the next little while speaking with Hal and Lynn about all sorts of things and could have probably spent the entire afternoon talking and not even realized it. It was great to meet such kind and generous people and return the very special ring to Hal.

I was contacted by Zach who had lost his gold wedding ring in the leaves in his backyard. He had been playing in the leaves when he noticed it was gone. We set up a time for me to come out and try to recover his ring. Zach was unable to be there but I met his wife who showed me where I needed to search. It was a pretty standard wooded area in the backyard with a ton on leaves. They had been moving leaves and looking around to no avail. I got started and determined it was not in the initial area where they thought it might be. I started to expand my search and suddenly got a nice hit. I removed some of the leaves and there was his ring. I texed Hanna and asked her to come outside and then showed her the ring. She was very happy that I was able to locate it and took pictures to show Zach were it was in the yard. Zach later texted me his thanks as well. I had been out a few times on some other searches and came up empty (however, in two of the cases the rings were found either while I was there or after I left – which is awesome!) so it was great to be able to locate Zach’s ring and return it. As always it was nice to meet and work with such kind and generous people and a pleasure to be of assistance.

Lost ring – found! (well partially) in West Mifflin, Near Pittsburgh, PA

I received a text from Mike who stated he had been cleaning his gutters and thought that he lost his wedding ring when tossing the debris in his yard. We talked and I made arrangements to head out and search the area. Upon arrival we talked and he was not sure if it would be in the front or back and also that he had cut the grass and mulched up the debris from the gutters. That concerned me because I thought that the ring could have been launched by the mower however he said that he did not have the side chute open. I felt a little better that it might be in yard. He also said he ran down to the store and bought a cheap metal detector but was unable to find his ring. I told him that was actually pretty common and I was glad he called me. He said the ring was tungsten.

I started my search and about a third of the way through the front yard I got a good hit. I parted the grass and there was his ring – sweet! Then when I pulled it out I realized it was only part of the ring. I asked Mike if that was it and he said yes. I felt bad that it was only half. He was good with knowing what happened and having half the ring back. I checked the remainder of the yard and was unable to locate the other half. He informed me that he wears tungsten because of work and that it was supposed to break under pressure so he understood. I had never heard that before and would not recommend testing that theory. However, he was very glad to have closure and said he would try to grind the edges and have it put on a chain. This was the first time I have only recovered a part of a ring. While I was bummed that it had broke I was glad to have saved a piece of his original ring and that he was planning on modifying it so he could continue to wear it. As always – it was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client.
