Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

James contacted me and told me that his wife had lost her ring in the front yard. It was yellow gold with a solitaire. He said it had been lost for around two months and they had rented a metal detector with no luck. When I got there I asked all of the usual questions that I always do. She said they had been arguing and she threw the ring across the front yard, and where she had been standing. This is always a great help, because it gives me a better idea where to look. I started my grid search in the likely area, and had made two passes across the yard. About one forth of the way back across the yard on the third pass, I got a solid 19 on my Manticore. It was the ring, but after two months it was already completely covered and not visible. The actual search time was less that fifteen minutes.

 

 

 

 

Washington,Missouri Soccer Field

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)

WASHINGTON,MO

 

While watching my oldest daughter at soccer practice, my two year old ran towards her on the field; to avoid her being trampled by enthusiastic players, I picked her up. I instantly notice my rose gold wedding band slip off my finger. Within minutes, the whole team, the coach, and a group of helpful parents search the area. After an hour of searching, we gave up. The next morning, I purchased my own metal detector and searched the area for hours with no luck. I found Jeremy on the ring finder website, and he was confident he could find it. After searching the soccer field for a while, he was able to find my ring!9

White Gold Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

I was contacted by a husband, (Ben), saying his wife lost her wedding ring in the front yard and that they had tried finding it with a metal detector, but had not located it. They had a very large front yard, but had marked off an area they thought it would be, because he had to run the mower. The area he thought it would be had not been cut. The temperatures those days were at the 95 degree range and I was in the full sun with no relief from any shade. The first day I spent around 4-5 hours finding nothing but surface items that sounded like a ring, small pieces of foil. I had completely covered the entire area he thought it would be. I was spent from the heat, so I came back the next day and expanded the search area. After around 4 hours I was well outside of the original search area by around 60 feet or so and I got a consistent 17 on my Manticore and it seemed to be on the surface because of the double beep. I had found it, but there was a problem. It was in the area that had been mowed and had been damaged from being run over with the mower tire. The band had been bent, had a small stone missing, and the main setting stone was loose. So as soon as I could I put it in a small zip lock bag so if anything else came loose it would not get lost.

 

Lost and Found in Berkeley backyard

  • from Pacifica (California, United States)

I received a call from a young husband and new father saying that his wife had recently lost her ring in their backyard.
I drove out to their lovely Craftsman-era rental in Berkeley after work and went to work. This young couple, tired in their new roles as parents, were distraught over the loss of the ring.
When looking for lost items like rings, it is important that I get all of the information before beginning my search. Where were you sitting/standing when it fell off? What were you doing? Where did you hear it land or bounce?

We all believed it was most likely under the porch and that when it flew off of her finger it hit the deck and slipped between boards. I spent several hours under the deck sweeping away leaves, clearing out wire, nails, and other metal odds and ends and yet I could not locate the ring.

It was getting dark so I offered to return on the next available day as they were heading out of town. The following Tuesday I was back out and determined to find it. On this second trip I knew I had to think outside the box. I sat on the porch where she had been sitting when she lost the ring, imitating her movements from that evening, and even spent a little while under the porch again, this time with her help. During the week between my visits the Meyer lemon trees in the planter at the end of the deck were trimmed back a bit making it easier for me to really get in there with minimal pokes and pricks from the thorny branches. The planter was rotting and there were many gaps for items to fall into so I concentrated on these areas. I was running out of options and I really hate not being able to successfully return an item that I am called out to find. Digging through rotted wood, leaves and the odd ping pong ball, I reached down and pulled out this beautiful gold ring.

In the end, it was less about having a metal detector, and more about perseverance. People often think it will take mere minutes to locate their lost items with a metal detector. Many people give up within the first 20 minutes and I have to encourage them to let me keep working. Sometimes they leave me, thinking they will never see their precious item again. But if the item is there, I will find it.

LOST A RING IN LONGPORT, NJ?

Laine and Mitch were enjoying a beautiful summer day on the beach in Longport, NJ—relaxing, soaking in the sun, and making memories. At some point during their time by the water, Laine had Mitch’s wedding band on her finger, keeping it safe while they swam and played in the sand. But in a split second, that small gesture turned into a stressful moment neither of them expected.

 

While brushing sand off her hands or perhaps during a casual gesture, Laine accidentally flung her hand—and with it, Mitch’s ring. It flew through the air and disappeared into the soft, dry sand. At first, they both thought it would be easy to spot, but as they searched and sifted, it became clear the ring had vanished. Minutes turned into over an hour, and the frustration started to set in. What began as a perfect beach day quickly took a turn.

 

Not ready to give up, Laine began searching online for a solution. That’s when she came across my website—RingFindersSouthJersey.com—and gave me a call. I was already nearby, so I headed straight to Longport to help.

 

When I arrived, I asked Laine and Mitch a few quick questions about how and where the ring might have come off. They had done a great job narrowing down the area, which made my job easier. I turned on my metal detector and began sweeping over the sand where the ring was last seen.

 

To everyone’s surprise—including mine—it only took one swing of the detector before I heard that sweet tone. I knelt down, pushed aside some sand, and there it was—Mitch’s wedding band! It had only been inches beneath the surface, but just far enough to stay hidden from plain sight.

 

The look of relief on their faces said it all. Mitch smiled from ear to ear, and Laine couldn’t stop thanking me. It was a simple recovery, but for them, it meant everything. That ring held sentimental value and symbolized something far greater than just jewelry—it was their commitment to each other.

 

Another successful ring recovery in Longport, NJ, and another happy couple reunited with their lost treasure. Whether it’s a beach in Longport, Ocean City, or anywhere in South Jersey, I’m always ready to help bring your lost items back where they belong.

If you’ve lost a ring or valuable item in the sand or surf, don’t panic. Give me a call at Ring Finders South Jersey I’ll do everything I can to recover what you thought was lost forever.

 

 

Platinum Wedding Band Lost While Cutting Yard-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

Kevin had contacted me and said he had lost his wedding band in the yard while cutting the grass. They had looked for it for a couple of days but the weeds in that area were quite tall and finding a ring visually was out of the question. I found the ring in an area where the weeds were around eight inches tall. Total search time was around an hour.

 

 

 

Gold Wedding Band Lost Right After Wedding-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

Linsey called me and said they had held a wedding venue in their yard for their daughter and son-in-law. Her yard was quite large and her son-in-law had lost his ring right after the wedding. She had purchased a metal detector but struck out.  Because of the size of the yard I set up a grid search and it took me all of two hours before I found it. Her daughter and son-in-law were out of town at the time.

 

 

 

Trashy Site Recovery

Contact:

Lost his wedding ring in a park area around Foster Ave Beach in Chicago. He rented a detector to try and find it himself, unfortunately he did not have any success, which is pretty common when they have no experience with a detector and the area to be hunted is loaded with trash as this was. When he called and told me he did not find it I decided to give it a shot, very happy to say I got lucky and got to add another Happy ending!!

 

Gold Ring Lost While Gardening

  • from Pacifica (California, United States)

A lovely couple reached out to me about a gold wedding band that had been lost while gardening in their backyard. I got their details and went to their house as soon as I could. I swung around their lovely backyard for a while in the area they thought it would be. I found a couple of coins and then came across the ring in a small pile of dirt that had been shoveled out of a hole while they were planting some new flowers. And voila! The ring was found. Such a joyous reaction!

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.
