Stacia was doing gardening work in the front, side and back yard of her lovely Leesburg, Virginia house. Approximately three hours into her landscaping project, Stacia looked down and noticed that her special family heirloom ring was no longer on her right thumb. This was no ordinary 14 karat yellow gold diamond ring. It happened to be a wedding band that was once worn by Stacia’s grandmother many years back in the past and at some point in time it was gifted to Stacia.

My client and her partner used a metal detector to search all of the flower beds, recycling bags and the entire front and back yard but all of their search and recovery efforts led to no avail. That’s when they turned to the internet and looked for additional help. Eventually they came across my website: METAL DETECTING ADVENTURES INC which links my clients to THE RING FINDERS, an elite international directory of metal detectorists who specialize in finding lost rings for people all over the world.

When I received the call for help from Stacia and her partner Donn, I asked them every question imaginable in order for me to get a better idea as to how Stacia may have lost the ring and to determine if I could effectively offer my services to the couple.

I told the two of them that it was possible that the ring was not lost outside but rather in the garbage or in the recycling bin. Because Stacia didn’t know the last time that she saw the ring on her finger, there was always the possibility that it was lost in the house or in a public environment. However, we all felt that it was most likely lost somewhere outside on their property.

A couple of days after we all spoke on the phone, I drove early in the morning to Leesburg, Virginia to conduct the search. The couple showed me all of the places where my client had been weeding, trimming and hauling. There were a few places in the front of the house and on the left side, as well. Most of the searching, however, would be focused in the backyard. Stacia had been working all along the parameter of the fence line in the flower beds, walking across the center grassy lawn area and it was possible that the ring fell into one of the recycling bags.

Once we finished reviewing all of the possible places where the ring could have been lost, I gathered up my metal detecting gear and headed to the back of the property to begin the search.

I spent the first two and a half hours metal detecting every inch of the areas where the couple and I reviewed and nothing turned up. I made sure that I detected under every shrub and bush as well as check all of the planters and flower boxes. When I was unsuccessful in the backyard, I detected the side of the house, in the flower beds where the wood chips covered the ground and scanned a stretch of 10 feet by 45 feet of lawn where Stacia walked with her gardening tools. Next, I detected the front of the house which included the flower beds and grassy lawn. Unfortunately, I still did not find the ring anywhere.

I gave an update to the clients and I suggested that I check their garbage and recycling cans since Stacia’s irreplaceable gold ring had not turned up anywhere else up to that point. The couple agreed that that was our next best option and so I immediately got busy detecting the throw-away bags and loose items in both receptacles in the garage. After finishing the search in the garage, I still came up empty-handed.

The three of us had a final meeting to decide if we should call it quits or perhaps for me to metal detect the right side of the backyard. Stacia said she did not do any work there before learning of the disappearance of her ring. Yet, I told the couple that sometimes my clients have no memory of being in a certain place at a certain time which ended up being where the item went missing all along.

We decided to have me search the flower beds and the lawn to the right of the house in the backyard and to metal detect outside of the fenced in area as well as scan the ground where Stacia discarded some trimmings and weeds.

After 25 minutes or so of metal detecting all of the areas mentioned above, I was still not able to locate my client’s special family heirloom ring. I was pretty disheartened about it all because none of this made any sense as to why I had not already recovered it. I gathered my detecting equipment, walked through the gate, shut the gate closed and randomly decided to swing my detector over to the right of the gate where the flower bed ended on that side of the house. I really was done with the search but for some reason something told me to swing the detector over by a particular bush. Then, I took my handheld detector and scanned under the pretty plant and to my surprise, I got a signal! I looked, and there it was! The lost ring! I couldn’t believe it! You could not have written a script more thrilling than this one because I had wrapped up the search and I was heading for my vehicle to drop off my gear and say goodbye to my clients! What a fantastic finish it was!

I made sure that Stacia and Donn got a huge surprise from me! It was absolutely a memorable moment indeed! Stacia’s face turned pink and she became extremely emotional at the moment that she was reunited with her grandmother’s diamond wedding band!

I told them that had they not given me permission to search more of the backyard and beyond after finishing up in the garage, I would have never maneuvered my detector over to the right side of the gate as I made my way back to the car! I don’t know what it was that made me want to search that flower bed one more time (because I had already gone over that area hours earlier), but whatever it was, I certainly gave glory to God for helping me with the search so that I could bring such wonderful news to my clients! Again, it was certainly a fantastic finish…yes, even after the search was already over!

Sarah’s Beautiful Platinum Infinity Diamond Wedding Band Sparkling Bright Once Again After Ring Finder Brian Rudolph Recovers the Young Lady’s Precious Keepsake from the Arlington, Virginia Lawn!

Jason and Sarah Celebrating the Success Story of the Return of their Lost Platinum Infinity Diamond Wedding Band Thanks to THE RING FINDER’S Member Brian Rudolph!

To answer the question as to whether or not a metal detector can find platinum rings, one should gain knowledge about the subject from a professional detectorist.

Call Item Recovery Specialist Brian Rudolph at (301) 466-8644! He Will Find Your Lost Keepsake in Any Environment: Land, Water, Sand, Cliffs, Snow, Leaves, Houses & Vehicles!

A detectorist is someone who uses a metal detector to find items made of metal that are either buried in the earth or laying on the surface of the ground. I happen to be a professional metal detectorist and item recovery specialist who helps people be reunited with their lost items of value. This may include a ring, family heirloom, smartphone, set of keys or even buried treasure. Many of my clients try using a metal detector prior to calling me for help. Once they fail at finding their target, they become desperate and begin searching the internet for a solution to their problem. Most of the time they end up finding the elite international directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS which helps people find a detectorist in their local area who specialize in finding lost rings and other items. I am one of those unique ring finders. Next, they contact one of us by phone and we become their best shot at recovering their lost item of value.

So, does a metal detector really find lost platinum rings? The answer that I will give is summed up in this ring search story below. I received a call from a young lady named Sarah who was doing some yard work on the side of her lovely Arlington, Virginia house while her child played nearby. At some point she decided to take off her platinum infinity diamond wedding band so as not to lose it during the gardening project. As Sarah was walking towards the house to put the ring in a safe place, she held the band in her hand and unfortunately her most precious keepsake slipped from between her fingers and disappeared into the grass. The distraught woman did not know where and at what moment the wedding band dropped below. Sarah was only certain that she had possession of the jewel while walking with it towards the side porch door and that it had to be somewhere on the lawn.

The couple searched everywhere for the lost ring and sadly nothing turned up. They even borrowed a metal detector from a friend and scanned the yard as best as they could and still all of their efforts led to no avail. At some point, the very one who lost the diamond infinity band got desperate to come up with an answer to this deeply distressing situation and immediately went online to seek help. Sarah couldn’t bear watching her poor husband endlessly search for the lost ring with his machine in hand and with no positive results. She came to the conclusion: One, Jason wasn’t experienced enough with the detector. Two, the device wasn’t capable of finding this particular petite piece of jewelry. And three, her husband just wasn’t experienced enough as a ring finder to tackle the territory effectively enough to discover the lost treasure from their property. These are three most common reasons why people call professional ring finders instead of continuing their struggle to find their precious item on their own. Finding a platinum piece of metal has a lot to do with all of the factors that I listed above, which is the very reason that Sarah finally called on a pro from THE RING FINDERS directory!

Later that same day, after going through all of the details on the phone, I visited Sarah and Jason’s beautiful property in Arlington, Virginia. The young lady showed me the yard and I was extremely complimentary of their thick, plush grass. Anything could have disappeared for good in that well cared for lawn! Once I got all of the facts, I returned to the car and got all of my gear out to begin the search.

The first thing I did was to lay down grid tape lines across the yard. This way I could stay in perfect formation as I swung my detector across the property. As I started the process of looking for the missing wedding band, I shared with Sarah some of the details of what I was doing and how I was going about finding her most precious keepsake. Jason arrived back at the house sometime after I began scanning the lawn and he too took some interest in how a hired professional recovers lost platinum and diamond items such as with this particular ring.

After about 15 minutes or so, as I was about halfway across the lawn, I got the perfect signal on the detector. It was exactly the VDI (visual display indicator) number and tone that I was looking for! I I’m so experienced with finding lost platinum rings and other items like this one that it’s kind of like speaking and hearing a language with the machines I operate. When I came across this particular target, I knew that this would end up being Sarah’s lost wedding band! I knelt down on the ground and used my pinpointer to isolate the exact place where the unidentified piece of metal was hiding. Then, as I reached down and spread apart a clump of grass blades to see what I had uncovered, there it was, Sarah’s beautiful platinum diamond wedding ring! It was quite a beautiful sight indeed!

The couple was so excited that I had found the jewel and they were completely relieved that their cherished item would not be permanently lost out there in their yard! By hiring me to recover the ring, Sarah and Jason learned (as many others have as well) that calling in a professional ring finder was the best decision they could ever make! We the specialists know how to use high quality metal detectors, we know the target signals that we are searching for and we implement the best strategy possible to recover that which is lost.

So, do metal detectors find platinum rings? Of course they do! As long as it’s quality matches the need, as long as the user is experienced, and as long as the one utilizing the machine wisely hunts for the lost item like one of us professionals listed on the THE RING FINDERS directory!
