Heirloom Ring Lost in Nashville TN Found With a Metal Detector

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Over 200 years this silver Claddeigh ring has been in Andrew’s family, passed down from generation to generation. So when Andrew lost the ring while giving his Saint Bernard a bath in the back yard of his Nashville, TN home, he was terrified to say the least. He searched the internet on how to find a lost ring, then realized that the best option was to find an experienced metal detectorist. He found my profile on TheRingFinders website and sent me a text message. I made the short 25 minute drive to his home for what would be my third ring search of the day. In no time at all I had located the ring deep in the lush green grass with my metal detector. The history of this family heirloom ring is awesome and I am honored to be trusted to find it so it can keep the story going.

Family Heirlooms lost in Fire

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

When Brittany’s house burned to the ground, she lost nearly everything. Among the devastation were priceless family heirlooms and treasured jewelry that could never truly be replaced. Hoping that something had survived, she reached out to me through The Ring Finders for help.

When I arrived, Brittany showed me where she believed her jewelry had been before the fire. The home was reduced to ashes, twisted metal, and debris, so every scoop had to be carefully sifted by hand.

After a patient search through the rubble, hope turned into success. I recovered three sets of earrings, her ring, a bracelet, and a necklace. Seeing those cherished family pieces emerge from the ashes made all the hard work worthwhile.

There are still a few items missing, but the search isn’t over. I’ll be returning another day to continue looking in hopes of recovering the remaining family treasures.

Even after a devastating fire, it’s amazing what can survive. Recovering sentimental items like these is about so much more than finding jewelry—it’s about helping someone reclaim a small piece of what they thought was lost forever.

Lost wedding ring found! Lake Nagawicka, Delafield, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

A pedal-boat ride ended on a frantic note when Delafield, Wisconsin resident, Peggy Roberts, waved at friends passing by. That was when the unthinkable happened.

Peggy’s normally-tight-fitting wedding ring of 40 years, flew off her hand and disappeared into the channel in front of their picturesque home. Peggy’s daughter quickly jumped into the chest-deep water to mark the spot. Meanwhile, Mark, Peggy’s husband assembled a buoy system by tying a brick and milk jug together. Dropping it into the water provided an invaluable reference point for the search to come.

Peggy located me on the Ring Finders directory of metal-detecting specialists. I received a text from her explaining the situation. What stood out most was, “Bottom is thick silt.” I knew from experience the “thick silt” is what I fondly call, “Wisconsin Pudding.” The “pudding” can vary in depth from a foot to several feet in places. Locating and recovering a ring in such circumstances can be very challenging. However, since the Robert’s daughter had been able to stand in the water and mark the spot, this offered hope. We agreed to meet on location the next day.

When I arrived, I quickly spotted the marker buoys out in the channel. Getting there with my gear was a challenge in the chest-deep water and knee-high silt. Three hours later, however, I still had not found the ring. The channel was full of metallic debris. Ferreting out a small wedding ring in those circumstances tested my recovery skills to their limits. That’s when Mark appeared on the family’s dock and quickly noticed the buoys had moved about ten feet! Channel currents, wind, and wakes from passing boats had slowly shifted the markers from their original position. Armed with this fresh information, I moved into the original area and soon heard a promising signal in my headset. Several scoops of silt later, Peggy’s love token lay nestled in the scoop amongst shells and aquatic plants. And the smile on the Robert’s faces tell the rest of the story!

If you or someone you know has lost a ring, even in ‘Wisconsin Pudding,’ don’t let its story end. Call me or a member of the Ring Finders near you. We would love to add your smile to our growing list of overjoyed clients.

Lost Ring Returned. “Follow Your Dreams”

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Kim called me that she was on her patio with her ring off, her young son picked it up and threw it over the fence into the field behind. ” Aren`t  little boys wonderful?’  I respond right away and met her on the other side of her fence, wouldn`t you know there was a thorny bush at the location. Kim said she searched all around and it has to be in the bush. After 30 minutes of being scratched and beat up, and unable to swing my coil, plus the hot Okanagan climate, I advised her to have the bush cut back and we will try again. Laying in bed that night I thought about the Kim and her distress, so at 5am the next morning back I went to widen the search. 12 feet beyond the bush I retrieved Kim`s ring, that little boy has a strong arm.                                                                                              The ring has an inscription ” Be True to Your Dreams” how appropriate, that is what took me back.

Lost Wedding Ring Found With a Metal Detector in Portland, TN

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Aaron found my contact information on TheRingFinders directory after his wife lost her wedding ring in their Portland, TN back yard about a week ago. She actually lost both her engagement and wedding rings at the same time as she was playing with their dogs, but they quickly found the larger engagement ring in the grass. The wedding ring disappeared in the thick grass, and played hard to get even when Aaron used a metal detector to look for the ring himself. This was the second search of the day for me, and was hopefully going to be successful like the first search.

After Aaron showed me where his wife was standing when she lost her rings and where they found the engagement ring, he said he’d leave me to do my thing and he went back in the house. Ten minutes into the search I got the signal I was hoping for. The ring was completely concealed in the thick grass, about twelve feet away from where the engagement ring had been found. Both Aaron and his wife were very happy to have the wedding ring back on her finger with the matching engagement ring. Aaron’s wife had all but given up hope that her ring would be found. It was a great feeling to recover the ring for her.

Davis contacted me on 06-23-2026 after he lost his gold wedding band in his back yard. He had placed his ring in the side pocket of an ice chest, and later when he was dumping the ice chest in his back yard, the ring fell from the ice chest pocket. He used a rake to comb through the grass but could not find the ring. We agreed that I would search for the ring on 06-27-2026. Davis asked if he could watch me search and I said he was more than welcome to watch. I warned him that there will be other metal objects in his yard that I will be checking and not to get too excited when he sees me bend down to check a target. After showing me the area where he dumped the ice chest, I powered up the Deus 2 metal detector, started a timer and swung the coil next to the concrete patio and got a strong signal. I was happily surprised that this very first target was in fact Davis’ ring. TEN SECONDS is my new record for a ring recovery, beating my old record of 38 seconds. Sometimes luck is better than skill. Either way Davis was elated. He assured me that he checked the area where I found his ring, and was baffled that he didn’t see it. I spent a few minutes allowing Davis’s young daughter swing the detector over the ring, then use the pinpointer to locate her dad’s ring a second time. It put a smile on her face, so that was an added bonus.

Gold wedding ring lost for years found in Amelia, Virginia

Lost your ring, jewelry, cell phone, keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Text or email ASAP 24/7 Mark at 434-987-0568.
Alan contacted me about a gold ring his father had lost a couple years ago while doing some yard work. He thought it would make a great father’s day gift to have it found and returned. I headed out to the beautiful historic property. There I was greeted by two of the nicest people I have met, Alan’s parents. Despite mobility issues, his dad was able to describe what he was doing when the ring was lost, and really helped narrow the search area. Luck was on our side. The ring had landed in an area where it avoided the lawn mower while it sank a few inches into the soil. I carefully extracted it, cleaned off the dirt. shined it up a little with a cloth, then took it over to where Alan’s dad was sitting. He looked up and I said “Happy Father’s Day” as I placed the ring in his hand. He was very happy to have it back, and I was very grateful to be able to do it for him.

Samuel contacted me about a lost family heirloom ring. He took a fall while skating on a paved path near his home. He was okay, but unfortunately the ring flew off into the woods along the path.  They searched for many hours with no luck. I was able to get there the next day. After a detailed description of the fall and trajectory, we were able to narrow the search area, and found it within a few minutes.  I was really glad to recover this special ring for a hard working young man.
