Wedding Ring Lost In Garden

April 17, 2018 by Prospector

Another Mine For Gold ring finder success story.

Philip lost his platinum wedding band while gardening at home in Auckland. He was standing at a raised garden bed when it was raining. He said he shook his hands to rid them of dirt. The next thing he hears is a ping noise behind him, he is 1 metre from the boundary fence.

The ring went through the netting fence into a pile of grass clippings and compost. After an hour and a half crawling around in the mud, rain and humidity it was finally located in the neighbours property. What made it extra challenging was that his property backs on to two other neighbours so I had to dig in 3 different properties!

Ian uses a ctx3030 (The GPS function comes in really handy for big search areas) and an X pointer from Deteknix to successfully find your lost rings.

Ring Finder Christmas Miracle – Dec 21st

I received a call from a very upset lady, the usual story of a slightly-too-large ring and the sea.

Lost Ring Found For Early Christmas Present

The previous day, she had gone for a morning swim, and returned to discover she and her ring had parted company.

Now, I knew the beach in question is very mobile and notorious for ‘swallowing’ rings so time was of the essence!
I cashed in some of my leave at work and headed away in order to catch the next low tide.
An hour and a half and a car ferry later, I arrived on site. Looking at the steep beach angle I could realistically only give her maybe a 50:50 chance of finding it.

After a quick walkthrough of the timeline leading up to the loss, I marked out the area of highest probability and started searching between the tideline and the waist-deep dropoff. Figured I’d do the hotspot first before getting the wetsuit on!

A lot of litter signals from can tabs and so forth caused several stops to listen carefully and determine if it was the ring… all were discounted for one reason or another.

Then, on the third line a clear tone and the scoop went in for a big bite out of the gravel. I checked the hole to make sure I had the target and waded ashore to empty the scoop.

On top of the pile of stones was the ring, and only 12 minutes from switching the machine on (Largely thanks to an extremely accurate start point).

Handed her the lost ring with a smile and a “Happy Christmas!”.
One extremely grateful, and very relieved couple.

Ring Finder Success Story

Another Mine For Gold Ring Finder success story.

A damsal in distress lost her ring on the lawn while putting her son in the car. Despite many hours on their hands and knees scouring the area nothing showed up.

Local ring finder Al came to the rescue. Despite a wild Wellington weather day and an area littered with false targets he persisted. In this case persistance equalled reward. The shiney gold engagement ring eventually popped out of the undergrowth making one damsal a very happy girl.

Our knight in shining armour packed up his metal detector and rode off into the rain – ring found, job done!

See if you can spot the ring he uncovered with some skilled detecting work…

Lost Jewellery Found By Treasure Hunters For Hire.

Lost Ring

No need to buy a metal detector to find your lost wedding ring or lost engagement ring when you can hire a metal detector and a skilled operator.

Although it is possible to buy new jewellery to replace lost treasures, you can not replace the sentimental value of the original item. Do not despair. Treasure hunters are here to help you recover your lost rings and misplaced jewellery.

Gold rings and silver rings can all be found with a metal detector whether lost in the garden or lost at the beach. Anything metal can potentially be recovered from lost keys to lost toys to lost precious metals.

Steps To Take When You lose A Ring:

Mark the spot as accurately as possible where you believe you have lost your ring. Do this as soon as you notice it has gone missing. The narrower the search area the more likely your ring can be recovered in a timely manner.
Do not panic. If a quick visual survey of the area does not turn up your lost ring or lost jewellery then call your local treasure hunter. Most experienced metal detector operators with good equipment can recover items buried to a reasonable depth in mud or sand.
Often lost items of jewellery turn up in unexpected places. That is to say that it is often not lost where people think they lost it. So if your lost ring is not recovered by your local treasure hunter in the area you first expected it may not be the fault of the metal detector.
