The National Ring Recovery Service received an email through our Contact Us Page
Email reads "Hello there, I lost my wedding ring last Sunday in a river in santon downham in Suffolk. We know the rough location because I watched it disappear but without any goggles that day we had to return on Wednesday. Myself and my wife have bought an underwater pin pointer but unfortunately we haven’t had any luck. I don’t know if you might be able to help? Thank you, my kindest regards".
The NRRS then asked it's members nearly 2000 of them if there is anyone local that could help.
And Harry one of the members stepped up to the challenge and donned on his wetsuit and picked up his Minelab CTX metal detector.
Next post from Harry was "RING RECOVERED"
"It was a wetsuit and goggles job, but I found the gentleman’s gold wedding band he lost a week ago in the river, he was over the moon and is going to make a charitable donation this afternoon"

We had a lady join our Facebook Group and posted a call for help.
"Hello, this is a very long shot but my husband lost his wedding ring yesterday at around 2.30pm while throwing stones into the sea opposite the beach parlour near the pier in Deal, Kent. We went back and had a good look around at around 4.30pm while the tide was still going out but no luck. I posted this on a metal detecting group and they said to post here along with a what three words reference for the location which is claims.spark.basic.
If anyone in this group happens to find his rose gold men’s wedding band we’d be forever grateful to be reunited with it! It was made by a jeweller called Remi so has this lightly stamped on the inside of the ring. Here’s a photo of the ring plus a photo taken on the beach shortly before it was lost. We’re not sure if it would have fallen onto the stones or if it would have flew into the sea while throwing as he didn’t notice it was gone until we were leaving the beach
Coincidentally, I actually work at a cystic fibrosis unit so I think it’s great that you’re raising money for CF also! Thank you in advance for bearing us in mind if you come across it!"
The next day the lady posted.
"Oh my goodness.... it’s been found!!! An incredibly kind and generous man Called Keith went to the beach with his metal detector after work and found it after 2 hours of searching!!! How amazing, I feel so lucky and overwhelmed by this wonderful act of kindness. Anyone who does this is amazing and I really hope many others can be reunited with their rings too"
Date of Recovery 26th May 2021

The Lost Wedding Ring Now Found

Not only do our members find lost rings we also remove hidden hazards that could harm animals etc.
Primvs is one of the National Ring Recovery Members said
" Thanks to the poster I put up at a local café, I had a call "would Ibe able to search for metal left over from a bonfire?".
As it's a new owners field where she keeps a horse, who'd got a nail in her foot, I accepted. They'd been over with a rake and magnet already, but I still found these on, or near the surface.
We had a lady join our Facebook group and asked "Anyone near south London with a metal detector? My husband just lost his wedding ring doing the gardening. Three hours of searching and nothing!! X"
Kevin one of the groups members stepped up for the challenge and said "After less than 10 minutes searching and first decent signal ring found with the vanquish"
Sally who only just joined us said "Thankyou so much Kevin! He Found my husbands wedding ring in a record 5 minutes. We are both so happy. What a wonderful organisation and you are all top people for doing this and bring joy!!! A donation in its way to the cystic fibrosis charity xx"

We had another request for a lost ring in someone's back garden so we posted a message on our Facebook group to see if we had a member in the area. We did and a kind member Andrew offered to help. Andrew said "Success!!!.
I was contacted today by Morley regarding a ring retrieval in my area. Turned out to be so close I could have walked there.
Wilma had been weeding when she realised she had lost 2 gold bands. The next day she found 1 but had resigned herself that the other was gone. After a search around the area that she thought it would be I moved further out and found it for her. The smile and the adulation is better that picking a stater out the ground any day."

We received an email through our website asking for help as a lady had lost her earing.
"Great service you have! Hopefully you will be able to help us.
We have lost a gold and diamond earring in an area of grass at the main house. It has sentimental value so we are desperate to find it.
Please could someone help?"
So we posted a message on the National Ring Recovery Service FaceBook Group asking if we have a member that is close and could help do a search. Thankfully Chris Cuddon from Oxfordshire searchers group stepped up and offered to help. First signal and the earing was found and returned to it's very grateful owner who then made a very generous donation to our JustGiving page in aid of Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Another lost ring reunited today (10/10/2020). We had an email
"Hi, I am hoping you will be able to help me. In March this year I lost a gold ring whilst walking the dogs in a wooded area near where we live (Bury - Greater Manchester). I have searched the area a number of times with no success and had given up hope of finding it, I had no idea there was anyone out there who would be able to assist. I googled lost ring and your website came up. I know roughly where I lost the ring and believe the land is owned by the local farmer. Please let me know if you think you might be able to help. Many thanks, Cat.
So a quick post on the Nation Ring Recovery Service Facebook Group
Paul a member of the group stepped up to the challenge as this ring had been lost since March this year. After some time searching in the long grass he managed to find the ring... well done Paul!!!

We had an email back in September asking if we could arrange a search for a lost wedding ring. They were staying on a campsite near Sennen in Cornwall. Her husband has lost his wedding ring after washing his hands at an outside tap. He heard it drop to the ground but we can’t find it.
So we posted a message on our Facebook Group asking if we had a member close by that could help and Lisa (pictured right) Came to the rescue and offered to help. So on the 2nd of October Lisa braved Storm Alex and after 2 hours searching she found the ring.
We had a nice email from them and reads.
"Hi Morley
I just wanted to thank you for all your effort in helping us. Lisa Chard was a charming lady, who braved Storm Alex, searching the windy cliff top for two hours. The good news is that she found Richard's ring! We were all so excited and quite emotional. We were so impressed with Lisa and her determination, in such awful weather, to help us.
Thanks so much for all your help.
Many many thanks
Nean"

We had an email off a lady that requested our help as her daughter lost a gold ring in a field about 2 weeks ago. After they searched high and low they found us and asked if we could help. So myself and Jo headed over today (24/09/2020) to help search. Jo was using the XP Deus and I was using the Minelab Equinox 800. After about an hour and half of finding ringpulls and bottle tops Jo walked over to me and said she thinks she found it. So we headed over and and showed the ring to Rachel and wow she was so chuffed and video called her daughter for Jo to show the ring was recovered and is safe and well in her mothers hands.... Must say there was a couple of tears of joy shed.... Thank you Rachel for the petrol......

Michael and Sharon
We received an email through our website from a gentleman that lost his wedding ring.
"Hello,
At some point over the weekend 5th/6th Sept I have lost my wedding ring. I hope it is either in the back or possibly front garden or on my allotment. I would be extremely grateful if someone could please contact me to help my search". This was then we posted on our facebook group and asked if we had a member that was close enough to help. We didn't have to wait long as we have nearly 1300 members throughout the UK offering help all over the country. Sharon offered to go and help search for the lost ring, this was her first ever NRRS mission and this is what she said "They were such a lovely couple and when I pulled it out the soil, which was surprisingly about 4" deep, he got very emotional and had a tear. It was wonderful to be able find it for them." And it was her 3rd signal into the search.
Michael sent me a text to thank the NRRS for it great service and mentioned he'd made a very kind donation to our justgiving page in aid of cystic fibrosis.

The National Ring Recovery Service Facebook Group had a request for help..
Hi thank you for reading this. My son is currently in Cornwall and yesterday lost his grandad’s signet ring on Porthchapel beach. He is devastated as dad died twelve months ago. He threw a ball to his friend and the ring came off too. It made a chink noise on the rocks. They searched all afternoon but couldn’t find it. It was a solid gold signet ring with a flat round front with HE inscribed on it. Thank you. It was about 1.30. They searched until the tide came in...
And one of our members Ben Gregan offered to help search.
Ben said "4 hour round trip though Cornwall a hike down and up a vertical cliff path and then 10 -15 min detecting it was about 10 inches down after one tide. All very worth it though one happy chap...." Well done Ben and a massive thank you to Tracey Lawrence
for your very kind donation to our CF Justgiving page.

Date Of Recovery
22nd August 2020
I saw the announcement of a call to help locate a lost ring pop up on the NRRS Face Book Page. The location was Westerleigh Common which is approx. a 15-minute drive from where I live. I called Kyrra and asked about the circumstances of the loss of the ring. Turns out it was her boyfriends and it had been lost on Westerleigh Common whilst he was out walking. I informed her that she would need to get permission from the landowner before we could do anything to recover the ring. She contacted the council and permission was duly granted for a surface search only. My friend Mark Wilcox called me and said that he would gladly help in the recovery of the ring as we usually work together on recovery jobs. We duly met up with the owner of the ring, Austin. He led us to the area where the ring had been lost. There was a long line of bushes near to where the ring was lost. We informed him that if it had gone into the brambles that the chances of recovery would be very slim as they were very dense. As we started the search the heavens open up with torrential rain, luckily the ring was recovered in about 20 mins by Nick Broderick. It was a rose gold ring encrusted with diamonds approx. worth £3,000, as you can imagine Austin was over the moon. Detectors used were the AT Pro by Nick Broderick and Goldmask 5+ by Mark Wilcox Footnote Morley once we had the go ahead I went home got out my Deus checked it, coil was dead so charged for about 40 mins checked again didn’t take the charge. Spare coil also dead. Dug out my AT Pro last used by my daughter back in Dec 19. Got to the common within 10 mins’ headphones had died lack of charge FFS. Resorted to using the speaker only what a night mare, driving rain on my hood making a racket and hardly being able to her the speaker. But ring found result. The couple made a very generous donation to the NRRS JustGiving Page

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.

"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"

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 . |

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!"

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!"
Back where it belongs!!!!!

We had another email come through our website asking for help.
"I have lost my wedding ring in the garden it is our own property in Bicknoller Taunton. the ring was my Grandmother's wedding ring and is very precious to me." So we posted a message on our Facebook Group Asking if we have a member close by that could help. Not long after the plea was made Tom Miller stepped up and offered to go and do the search for the ring the next day. The day arrived and Tom was on the case....
Success
He found it much to the relief of Mr & Mrs Pennington-Ridge (pictured left).
A massive well done to Tom Miller for finding and returning the ring and also a big thank you to Mr & Mrs Pennington-Ridge for their very kind donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

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" |

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. News came in that Matt had found the lost ring for Andrew. "Morley I can't thank you enough, Matt came along and saved the day! He's my new hero. Thank you so much for your help, you wouldn't believe how happy this has made my wife and I. 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. They lost it in a large camping field whilst playing with the kids and spent hours on their hands and knees searching without success. 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
