Seacliff Beach, lost ring found

  • from Monterey (California, United States)

 

Mark (also on the directory here) and I got a call from “Katie”.   Yesterday she had been walking hand-in-hand with her youngest kid (seen the pix)  at Seacliff Beach.  Her youngster was pulling on mom’s hand, while they walked the beach.   Suddenly Katie realized she no longer had her ring on.   And theorized that her kid had probably inadvertently pulled mom’s ring off.    So they had a general idea of where it was (within a 2 minute walk-span-time).

 

45 minutes later , we got the beep we were waiting for.  🙂  The heirloom is safe back in the family !   Glad we could help you folks.   Another fun hunt, and :  Thanx for the tip.

Lost – Men’s Gold Wedding Ring – Kissimmee, FL – FOUND!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Andrew called me Monday night with the kind of news that sinks your stomach—he’d lost his gold ring, a gift from his wife 20 years ago. He’d been doing landscaping at a drugstore near Orlando while spreading mulch and cutting down a tree; and somewhere along the way, the ring vanished.

I told him I’d be there,  first thing in the morning.  I stopped and prayed to God that He would lead me to the ring the next day.

When I arrived, I headed straight for the freshly spread mulch out front. My Minelab Manticore lit up constantly—coins, pull tabs, even a silver bracelet—but not the one thing we were hoping for. No ring!

I reached out to John, Andrew’s employee, who was supposed to meet me there, but he was delayed by rain. When I asked if there were any other areas they’d worked, he mentioned a spot behind the store where they had removed a tree.  That was all I needed.

I moved to the back and started searching, working the area carefully for the next 20–30 minutes.  Still nothing but junk.   John eventually showed up, and I told him I was methodically gridding the area—but so far, no luck. After he left, I was determined not to miss anything, but running out of areas to search.  I prayed again, “Lord lead me to the ring.”

I changed my approach.  Instead of scanning the ground, I walked over to the actual stump of the tree they had removed. The moment I swept my detector over it, I got a strong, unmistakable signal.

Right in the hollow of the stump—tucked among bark and fresh sawdust—I spotted it.  A beautiful heavy gold ring!

Newlyweds get a happy ending

  • from Carmel-by-the-Sea (California, United States)

Panic at 10pm, as Teddy and his young wife from Macedonia reached out to ring finders. After an exhaustive night search on a chilly carmel beach, even having recruited passers-by, they wisely staked the site with driftwood and sent me a text. My mentor Tom and I met up with this really nice young couple next morning but unfortunately, they had three ideas where it (the golden band with a lot of sentimental value) went missing. Tom covered the parking area and bathrooms, I hit the beach. Teddy had taken a picture

when they laid out their towels ( this was key) so I worked in concentric rings from the driftwood and BANG a loud 17 on my NOX and out popped his wedding band! HAPPY ENDING!

Clayton, Missouri Lost Wedding Band

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)

Easter Sunday my wife was hiding eggs in the yard. Our engagement ring was previously stolen, so the tiny wedding band was all we had left. No idea where it flew off while dropping eggs. I figured it was gone for good, but just like Jesus, it came back!

 

Jeremy was able to save the day

Month-Long Lost Wedding Ring Found! – Waterloo, Wisconsin

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)

Wisconsin dairy farmer, Tim Wiedenfeld was clearing brush along a fence line close to his church when his loose-fitting yellow-gold wedding ring went missing. A branch caught the rim, flipping it up into the air. Then it disappeared amongst the leaves and vegetation. Despite Tim’s best search efforts and those of another metal detectorist, the ring could not be found. Tim wondered if a Bobcat they were using had pushed it down the hill into a large pile. It was a disheartening thought. Was it gone forever?

An acquaintance of Tim’s reached out to me a few weeks later and I arranged to meet him on location. Sometimes a fresh pair of forensic eyes can be helpful. I arrived a half-hour early and surveyed the area. Using photos taken earlier, I was able to match their locations and piece together the chronological events of the day. The remains of a heavy-gauged wire-mesh fence represented a metal-detectorist’s worse nightmare; they overwhelm detectors, masking the presence of nearby metallic objects like gold rings. Before taking out my metal-detecting equipment, I looked slowly and carefully underneath the wire fence, watching for unusual metallic glints. That’s when I spotted a tiny flash in the afternoon sun. Upon investigation, Tim’s wedding ring appeared in the mud where it had been pushed almost out of sight some four weeks before! I marked the spot by poking a stick into the ground and then proceeded to clean up the ring before Tim arrived.

Tim’s truck appeared shortly. I let him tell me the story. He showed me where he was standing when the ring came off his hand. His account, the circumstances and trajectory all aligned forensically with the ring’s hiding place. I leaned over and pointed to the spot under the fence where the ring had come to rest. Then I opened my hand to reveal Tim’s precious ring. Tim was both shocked and overjoyed!

Someone once called me the Sherlock Holmes of lost rings! I’ve been metal detecting and solving lost-ring cases since 1976. Technology, like modern state-of-the-art metal detectors, is amazing. But as incredible as this technology is, there is still room for old-fashioned forensics.

If you or someone you know has lost a ring, don’t let its story end. Call me. Who knows, we just might be able to add yet another smile to my growing list of over 150 happy clients!

I was advised that the house had just been sold and was only able to look for it the next morning. Shortly after arriving we were able to locate the ring in the snow!!
