Date Of Recovery July 2020
We received an email for a lost gold ring whilst feeding the cows and horses. So Jo (pictured) and myself headed up to have search but after a couple of hours with no luck it was decided that the barns needed the bedding ect to be removed from the buildings due to the other metals around. So a week later we headed back and before I could turn on my machine Jo got a signal and boom there it was. |
The lost ring that was returned to the owner.

Another call for help....
"Hi there,
Its incredible you offer this service!
Unfortunately whilst out walking today my gold and sapphire earring my mum gave to me got caught in my hat and pinged off. I remember the patch of path and forest floor in the near vicinity of about 9m2. The other possible problem is that I live in Bristol. Does anyone in your club happen to live near Bristol or could I pay petrol for someone to come and have a look? I feel awful having lost it.
Any help would be very gratefully received!
Best wishes"
Luckily one of our NRRS Members was close enough to be able to carry out a search after the local council granted us permission. Thank you Ashton court and Bristol City Council.
Word came in from Nick Via our Facebook Group "Mission Accomplished"
Well Done Nick another successful recovery by yourself again... !!!
Another happy person "So over the moon! Amazing, thanks Nick."

Date Of Recovery 23rd Oct 2018
We received a phone call yesterday about her daughter’s boyfriend had lost a Swiss army knife that was very sentimental to him. It was lost whilst he was spreading several tons of mulched up carpet for the new horse menage that they were building. So off we went to search but was faced with so many targets as the carpet had some shredded bits of metal that interfered with the machines signals.
After an hour and half 4 inches down the knife was found using the Deus in Fast program

I received an email a couple of days ago asking for help " Hi I have lost a small pendant, diamonds set in gold. Is this something you could detect? I know the area it was lost in, and it is a small area. I have the chain so it is only a very small amount of gold. Thanks Lizzy" So today we went to have a look using the Deus with the standard coil and the Deus with the HF Elliptical coil. The pendant was lost will making hay nets for horses when Lizzy caught her necklace and the cain snapped sent the pendant flying. We searched the area for a least 30 minutes without any joy. I then changed the HF frequency to 80 kHz and not long after I found the small gold clasp. We then carried on the search but to no avail. We then checked the hay bags again and I got a medium toned signal. I then used the pin pointer to locate the Gold and Diamond pendant in the hay much to Lizzies delight . |

Location of the lost ring
Date Of Recovery Sept 2018
We received a call for help on our NRRS Facebook Group asking for help to find a ring that was lost in June 2018.
Message
" Hi, just putting it out there that my husband lost his wedding ring on Perranporth beach on 25th June at high tide. We are hopeful a local metal detectorist could help us find it.
It’s white gold with two dull and one shiny horizontal bands, it’s got three small square diamonds running vertically. It’s obviously of great sentimental value and a reward is offered for anyone who can find and return the ring to us.
We are in Cornwall until Saturday, so we can meet at the beach to show the location we suspect it was lost, alternatively please see the map and a drawing of the ring. If you are available and able to help us we would appreciate it"
Rachael Lock a member of the NRRS offered to go and do a search of the beach. Bearing in mind that the ring was lost in June 2018 it was nearly three months later when it was brought to our attention.
A fantastic result!!!!!
Sophie Everett Posted on the NRRS Facebook Group 19th Sept 2018
"Back where it belongs! This feels like a bit of an acceptance speech but there were so many people involved in the search and rescue of my husbands ring... we are forever grateful.
I am truly thrilled at the unexpected message I received earlier this week to tell me that my husbands wedding ring lost in June this year had been found.
I am very thankful to Rachael Lock for finding and keeping the ring safe and not giving up in returning it.
I also want to say thank you to Heather Solonyna (and her partner) and Darrin Roberts (and anyone else who may have helped out) for the time you spent combing the beach in our desperate search. I also recall meeting a chap called Ryan on one of my visits to the beach to search for the ring (I can’t find him in the site but he did advise me to post on here).
Thank you to Morley Howard for running such a great site! I have made a donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Page as an extra thank you!"

We received a message on our Facebook page "Hi all. Our daughter went down to Devon yesterday with her bf to visit his relatives. They went to the beach and decided to go for a swim. So daughter took her rings off and put them on the sand by some rocks, up the beach. They went in, and when they came out and got changed, the tide rushed in and swept her rings away. Including the diamond one we gave her for her 18th. She is, understandably, absolutely devastated. Beside herself in fact. She's always so careful, and the one time she thinks she'll keep them safe, this happens. They spent most of today searching until their hands were sore. They're going back in the morning to search again but obviously it's highly unlikely they'll find anything without help. Can anyone assist? Westward Ho, the Burrows. Apparently its the site of the old dump? I'm not familiar with the area so not much help. We're also up in Surrey so feeling useless." One of the NRRS members Rory McDonnell offered to help. Success He said "About 12 hours total over 3 searches. They were spread out about 20 feet apart" Sarah Jackson mother of the Daughter that lost the rings replied back "Thanks to the utter legend that is Rory McDonnell, ALL our daughters lost rings have been found. There are no words enough to convey our gratitude. Thank you, thank you, thank you xx" |

Another lost ring email "Dear all, We had a wonderful Dorset wedding On Monday 23.07. but unfortunately ONE day after the wedding I lost my wedding ring at Lyme Regis beach in the water. Is there any way you could help us? I am completely devastated.. Jochen" So we contacted our members on the NRRS FACEBOOK Group and one of our members and Maurice and his wife Jennie offered to brave the stormy weather on Sunday to go and search the beach. Success.... Maurice comment's "We spent nearly five hours in the driving rain and huge waves n wash on Lyme Regis town beach today. My wife Jennie and I got soaked throw and took a. EXCALIBUR 2. a CTX3030 and a Deus full with eleven inch coil and set to wet sand . Try as we might the smashing couple that lost the ring the day after their wedding in Abbotsbury last week. I armed them with the Excal and then the CTX but to no avail. After I and my wife had a short break to drink tea n eat half a sarnie we went back to catch the bottom of the tide. 10 minutes after I was doing the gold dance and looking at two overjoyed faces all the way from Germany. Apart from getting a parking ticket cuz the ticket was not visible on the dash. For the record it was found with the Deus full with 11 inch coil on programme 7 Wet sand and came in as shallow 85 constant .running V4.0. It was A Maze Zing!!!!!" Reply from Jochen & Isabelle Dear Morley, Unbelievable, but with the help of Maurice and his wife Jenny, we found the ring!! Thanks again for referring and forwarding to your members. The is amazing. How can we make it up to your Organization / give back? With best regards Jochen & Isabelle |

The NRRS received an email asking for help. " Hi, I'm desperate, I've lost my wife's wedding and engagement rings here at Center Parcs, Longleat. Is there any way you can help please? We are only here until tomorrow now. Thank you, So we contacted our members on the NRRS FACEBOOK Group and one of our members (Matt on the left) was close enough to go and have a search.

Matt refused to take any payment from me but I insisted that if he thought of a charity he'd like me to donate to instead to let me know. If he doesn't I'll happily make a donation to your nominated one which I think is CF isn't it? Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts and please keep up the fantastic work!! |

The NRRS facebook group received a call out form a lady who needed help.... Message below
“Hello, Is there anyone who can help me? I live in Rode Somerset and have lost my diamond ring left to be by my Nana.
I think it was when I was gardening, I have a fairly small garden. I have hired a detector but it’s beeping at lots of different patches. I’m guessing there are more refined detectors than the one I have hired. Many thanks,”
Luckily one of the NRRS members on our facebook group was local enough to be of help........
And this was the reply..
"Success!!! A huge Thank You to Leigh who found my ring for me today in the front garden, I’m thrilled to see it again and so appreciative to Leigh driving an hour from Yeovil with his metal detector. It’s so amazing to be helped in this way when something has sentimental value and just can’t be replaced. — feeling happy."

We have our first successful ring recovery today. I had an email from a lady whose friend lost her family heirloom ring whilst on holiday. It was only 30 mins drive for us and close to one of my permissions.

Clare sent me an email asking for help in which Jo and myself spent nearly 2 hours searching the location. I managed to find a mood ring and around £3.50 in spends.
Jo Addison was a bit further away in the field and came back holding a ring....... BINGO it was returned to a friend to take back home and reunite with the lady who lost it. in the meantime Clare handed Jo and myself a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates as a thank you, they also said they will make a donation to our groups justgiving page..... WELL DONE JO
