Jim Wren

Can’t thank you enough for finding my ring Jim... (2024)

Can’t thank you enough for finding my ring Jim. I surely thought it was gone for good. We truly appreciate your effort and time you put in especially late at night and then coming back a second time. My wife and I appreciate your generosity and thoughtfulness in finding my ring. Thank you again Jim!

YOU FOUND MY BEAUTIFUL RINGS and saved our vacation. (2024)

I don’t have enough words to adequately say THANK YOU to you Jim and your son!!! I was afraid I’d never find the ring and yes we had used little shovels to dig around to try and find it. It was just too deep. YOU FOUND MY BEAUTIFUL RINGS and saved our vacation. And you were so kind. Thank you so much!!!

You’re a lifesaver... (2024)

Thank you so much for finding these items. You’re a lifesaver. We could not be more thankful. Anyone who loses something, should hire you!

Jim went above and beyond in finding my ring... (2024)

Jim went above and beyond in finding my ring. I had already let 2 days go by and given up on finding it. Then I started searching on my phone, late on our last night, and decided to give it one more try. Someone had posted about theringfinders.com when I was looking for local lost and found postings. I read about Jim’s successes and he agreed to give it a try, knowing that I wasn’t even really sure I had lost it on the beach. I gave him a fairly large area to search as well. Wes and my 2 girls had picked out my ring together so it held a special meaning for us.

We never expected Jim to go out and search a second day and we were truly grateful that he cared so much to take the extra time, especially in the July heat! I highly recommend him!!

Jim, I truly believe words cannot express my gratitude to you for finding my wedding ring. (2024)

Jim,

I truly believe words cannot express my gratitude to you for finding my wedding ring. But, I’ll give it my best shot.

Matt and I met 7 years ago and knew immediately it was meant to be. He is my rock, my soulmate, my best friend. He and I have been through some wonderful times and some hard times. The birth of our daughter, Olivia, was one of those wonderful times. She is now four, and this was her very first trip to the beach. As we made our way into the surf, she was apprehensive and grasped my hand tightly. The waves that day were a bit rough, as I think you mentioned. I held her hand tight as I could, and we went in about calves-deep. One bigger-than-expected wave knocked her down, and ‘mama bear’ kicked in. I wasn’t thinking about anything else at that moment, I scooped her up, and we went back to our towels to dry off. A few minutes later I felt something was “off” and I glanced down at my left ring finger, which was now bare. My heart sank, I told Matt what happened, and we both cried. I thought back to our wedding day, the beautiful ceremony where we promised to love each other “til death do us part”, and my grandfather walking me down the aisle. My grandfather was more “dad” than grandpa, and one of my last memories with him in good health was him walking me down the aisle on my wedding day. It was only a year or so later that we lost him. I was so excited when you found my ring I didn’t even remember to tell you, but you remind me so much of my grandfather. He is my guardian angel, and I like to think he might have been helping us that day (or at least put in a good word with the man upstairs, haha). I just couldn’t believe the time and effort you put in, hours in the heat searching and searching. Many would have given up, but you didn’t. Thank you so much for your kindness and selflessness that day; you will always hold a special place in my heart.

...........................................................................................................................................................................................................

We were spectators watching this entire event unfold. We saw you arrive and begin working. After a few hours I had little hope of her ring being found. We were sitting in front of Kayla and Matt on the beach and my husband actually saw you the moment you found that ring. It was a very happy ending! I can imagine the relief she felt. Thank you for what you do!

I never would have found it without you!! (2024)

Thank you so so much! You are truly a life saver, I never would have found it without you!! We really appreciate it!!!!??

you were there to save the day! (2024)

Thank you so much, Jim!!! We are so grateful you were there to save the day!

Jim saved our 1 year anniversary vacation! (2024)

“Jim saved our 1 year anniversary vacation!

Called him in a total panic because my husband lost his ring on the beach the night before. Within 30 minutes, Jim was at the beach searching. After an hour he found it! I couldn't believe it! He is a blessing in disguise and I will NEVER be able to thank him enough.”

Enthusiastically recommend Jim. (2024)

Jim showed up within 15 minutes of me contacting him and found our buried water meter that HTC covered up. Super nice guy and he donates to St Jude. Enthusiastically recommend Jim.

We are so grateful for your expertise – we couldn’t have recovered it without you! (2024)

Thanks again, Jim!! You went above and beyond, driving 1.5 hrs to Wrightsville Beach to help us recover the ring! We are so grateful for your expertise – we couldn’t have recovered it without you!

So glad Emily’s ring was found... (2024)

So glad Emily’s ring was found. We live at Sunset and I told her to give you a call as you have great success. We were leaving the beach when you were walking down to the beach. Thanks for all you do for so many!

You are a life saver... (2024)

You are a life saver, thank you so so much!! You are my first contact for anyone who has lost something!!

We are grateful for your expert abilities... (2024)

Thanks again, Jim – We are grateful for your expert abilities and friendly, fast, service!

We prayed for a way to find the rings and my husband found you online. You were a Godsend! (2024)

Thank you so much! We prayed for a way to find the rings and my husband found you online. You were a Godsend! We’re approaching our 6 month anniversary and I was devastated when I thought I’d lost the ring he designed for me. I won’t ever be able to repay you. Thank you again for your help and kindness. We are very grateful.

Super nice guy and would recommend for anyone needing to find something lost! (2024)

Thanks Jim Wren,

When my son lost our only key to the condo Jim showed up within 30 mins and saved the vacation. He didn’t find it originally but didn’t give up, he grabbed another device and found the key! Super nice guy and would recommend for anyone needing to find something lost!

Jim, there are no words... (2024)

Jim, there are no words to describe any better then Kim did OUR Appreciation for the ring find. I was devastated ! Although I saw you concentrating on the small grass area between the road and the sidewalk I have to admit I was a bit doubtful. However, when we first met you said “LETS FIND IT” and I really had a glimmer of hope. You made my heart skip and I (we) thank you so much.

Prayers for you, and St Jude with our donation.

Highly recommended. (2024)

Jim was very quick to respond and show up to help find a gold necklace pendant that had fell off the chain. Highly recommended.

You are a kind wonderful man... (2023)

Thank you so much for finding my sisters ring! Truely amazing what you do sir ??. And my sister is truly amazing and I am soooooooooo happy that this turned out the way it did thanks to you. You are a kind wonderful man and I’m so happy that they got to meet you. Love Beverly

There are no words. We honestly thought there was no way we would ever get this ring back. I cant thank Jim enough, we went from tears of sadness to disbelief to absolute joy!! All thanks to Jim, the ring finder.

Let’s see what finding that ring meant to my family…. everything. Memories of a lifetime. From my parents dating and living the “easy” life to a marriage of 42 years! From the fights to the hugs, from the late nights out to the late nights up with kids. It’s a symbol of strength and promise. A promise that your life will not go unseen because I’ll be by your side through it all. So, to some it may be a ring, but it is so much more of family life wrapped in that ring.”

Jim, I’m convinced you’re an angel on earth. Thank you for dedicating your life to improving the lives of others!! (2023)

When I googled “ring finder Carolina Beach” in desperation, I was sure my search would be a waste of time, especially after buying my own metal detector and scavenging the beach myself at 4 AM. Jim showed up, and I just had a feeling. With blue eyes and a smile that could rival Paul Newman’s, he promised me his afternoon but was hopeful it wouldn’t take that long. Turns out, he was right. Both wedding rings were back on my finger within 20 minutes. I’m sure my other ring wasn’t pure gold because I know he would’ve found it.

Jim, I’m convinced you’re an angel on earth. Thank you for dedicating your life to improving the lives of others!!

legendary “Ringfinder Jim”! (2023)

Thanks so much Jim. You should know that all the guys at the bachelor party are now referring to you as the legendary “Ringfinder Jim”! Couldn’t be more grateful for your help.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding her wedding band and for searching tirelessly for her engagement ring! (2023)

Jim, there are no words to express our gratitude to you and your friends for trying so hard to find her engagement ring. You don’t know us that well, yet you worked like we were your own family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding her wedding band and for searching tirelessly for her engagement ring!

Even though it wasn’t the best circumstances, meeting you was a highlight on our trip and we will never forget you!

My sister Judy googled and @james wren with RINGFINDERS.com (2023)

Today I was playing in the shallow water with Jojo. I reached down to splash and watched my ring slip off my finger and into the ocean. I tried to find but it was lost, gone.

When my son got to the water he put his goggles on and looked. I fought tears. The emerald was my grandmothers ring. It was gifted to her when she cared for my Godparents after they were in a terrible accident. It went to my mom when my grandmother passed. When mom passed we were going through her jewelry box and found it.

Sometimes when our loved ones pass in our grief trying to hold on to memories arguments happen about who should have what. Not my sybs. The ring was to go my sister Jeanne. She said no you should have it.

I treasured the ring but could not wear it for years because it was loose in the setting.

Recently I was able to have it reset in a gorgeous spoon ring.

Then today it was gone

I had to remind myself it was just a thing.

My sister Judy googled and @james wren with RINGFINDERS.com showed up.

He looked and couldn’t find but he didn’t give up even when a wave almost rocked him off his feet.

He came back at low tide and tried again. Jake Mcmasters sat with me at the beach til about 6:15.

I headed home and Jim continued to look, I had dampened hopes.

I prayed. I remembered he cares about my green beans and my ring

Made dinner, took shower, and then glanced at my phone and read

BOOM

Glad we found you, and it felt like a miracle to have the ring back... (2023)

Thanks again for finding our ring, Jim! I’m a sentimental guy, so the ring meant a lot to me. I spent two days constantly peering into the sand every time we went to the beach. I’d given up hope that it would be found.

Glad we found you, and it felt like a miracle to have the ring back on my hand again!

We are absolutely amazed you found it ... (2023)

Wow, Jim and Lisa! We hoped for the best during our search last night, but thought there’d be a slim chance of finding the ring since it was lost in the ocean. Thank you so much for your quick response time after I texted. We are absolutely amazed you found it — so quickly AND in the dark! Thank you for your service!

Jim Wren is amazing... (2023)

Jim Wren is amazing. When I called Jim on his cell phone, he said he would be at our condo in 15 minutes. He was there in about 12 minutes. He told me on the phone that finding my granddaughter’s lost heirloom ring would be a “piece of cake”. It was. It took Jim less than 2 minutes to find it.

You know Jim is special when he gives 10% of his gratuities to the “Saint Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Thank you, Jim, for what you did.

Oh Jim, you’ll never comprehend how grateful we all are for your perseverance!!! (2023)

Oh Jim, you’ll never comprehend how grateful we all are for your perseverance!!! Especially Tom and Cristina, aka Cris. You were so patient, especially when I found out there are multiple Beach accesses between 13th and 14th (my bad). You were professional, kind, friendly, knowledgeable, thorough and thoughtful. Keep doing what you’re doing!! You were meant for helping others find their lost treasures!!! You need to thank your wife for buying you that Christmas gift 5 years ago!! Brunswick County Beach peeps: Jim is your guy for finding what you think you have lost forever…. He will NOT give up!!!

Forever grateful, Jill, Steve, Tom and Cristina

Jim is absolutely the best guy for this kind of job, not to mention how kind he is... (2023)

You were absolutely amazing!! We are so thankful we found you and you were able to come so quickly! We were feeling hopeless until you showed up.

Jim is absolutely the best guy for this kind of job, not to mention how kind he is and had made us feel like we’d known him for years. It was so nice to meet you Jim, I wish it was possible to express how grateful we are! Thank you so much for saving the day!

Words can not describe how grateful I am for Jim Wren from ring finders!! (2023)

Words can not describe how grateful I am for Jim Wren from ring finders!! This morning, I lost my engagement ring at Wrightsville Beach. When we finally noticed it was gone in the afternoon, we went back to look for it with no luck.

*Side note- Thank you to everyone who helped me look for my ring. I'm sorry I interrupted your beach time with me looking around and ugly crying, but I truly appreciate our care and concern.*

I then stumbled upon Jim's page on ringfinders.com and gave him a call. He drove an hour and a half just to help me. I thought we were going to be at the beach until sundown, but WITHIN 5 MINUTES, my ring was found!!! More crying was involved on my end.

This man not only loves what he does, but he went out of his way out of the goodness of his heart to help me find something that means so much to m

Can’t thank you enough! (2023)

Jim was so kind and helpful! He saved me from a big heartache! Can’t thank you enough!

Can’t say enough good things about Jim and the team of Ringfinders. They truly help you when you need to retrieve something priceless. (2023)

I didn’t know what to do when I lost my wedding band in the lake. So thankful for Jim. I called him and he was here super quick. He was even a good sport about having to get in the cold water to search under our pier at the lake. Didn’t take 30 seconds before he pulled the basket out of the water with my ring. Can’t say enough good things about Jim and the team of Ringfinders. They truly help you when you need to retrieve something priceless.

These guys really know what they are doing and take pleasure in putting a smile back on your face. Way to go Jim! (2022)

After realizing my 6 month old labradoodle had swallowed my ring as confirmed by an X-ray, I wasn't too worried because I knew I would find it in a couple days.

Well. I went out of town and my husband and mother didn't find it. Now what? We borrowed a metal detector and went to work. Months later and afterpainting a grid on our yard ( a couple acres worth). Still no ring. Finally the grass started growing and we had to start mowing. That first time I cringed hoping I didn't hear a big noise.

As summer passed I gave up hope of ever finding it. Then one day my mom saw the ad for ring finders and called me. My best friend also saw it and messaged me. I figured it was worth a try even though I really didn't hold out hope.

I messaged Jim and a few minutes later he called. I figured when I told him I had a farm and my dog has the run of 2-3 acres he would say forget it! But he instead said how about I come out in the morning.

So the next morning as planned Jim showed up. After some discussion about what happened and where she liked to do her business, he got to work. After only a couple hours I walked around the house to see what was happening and he handed me my ring!

I was so stunned I didn't know what to say! I told him he was a miracle worker. I just knew that ring would be found in 50 years when someone developed this land or some such thing! I will highly recommend this service to anyone who is parted from something meaningful to them.

These guys really know what they are doing and take pleasure in putting a smile back on your face. Way to go Jim!

I cannot thank Jim enough. Truly a lifesaver! (2022)

I can’t even begin to describe the panic and anxiety I was feeling when my ring slipped into the sand and disappeared. He saved our vacation from a sad ending and my nerves from completely being worn out. I was amazed at how quickly he arrived and found it, literally within 30 seconds. I cannot thank Jim enough. Truly a lifesaver!

Jim, thanks so much for being the hero of our vacation! (2022)

Jim, thanks so much for being the hero of our vacation! You were quick and efficient with the find, and provided some comic relief in the process. We appreciate you and all that you do so much!

It is wonderful to have someone like you at our beaches. Thank you for your service! (2022)

Mr. Jim Wren, You sir are truly the gem of Sunset Beach!! Monica looks so happy. I have read some of your testimonials and all ended with a happy ending. It is wonderful to have someone like you at our beaches. Thank you for your service!

Thank you Jim! You are a hero!! (2022)

Jim is incredible. I am still so amazed at how fast everything happened. After a very hard long day of my trying to find my ring, I spent literally all day looking for it, I got a really bad sunburn and my back hurts so much. I even borrowed a metal detector from the store and I had people helping me to look and we just couldn't find it. I was defeated. My last idea was to Google "what to do when you lose your wedding ring" and there was this website "Theringfinders.com", I didn't have much hope to be honest but I had to give it a try. It was too good to be true. Less than an hour later I had my wedding ring with me thanks to Jim! I think what he does is amazing. He is not only very skilled and has the coolest equipment, he helps people like me, who made a big bad decision to find my wedding ring which has so much emotional value. Thank you Jim! You are a hero!! It was so great to meet you.

I give 5 stars! He loves what he does and it shows. (2022)

"Give Him a ring, he'll find yours! Jim Wren was a delight. He loves the service he provides and it shows. He has a confidence about him that immediately removes your angst when you meet him. He has a smile that lights up the world topped only by his ability. I was impressed by his meticulous grid work and in two hours stopped only once for water. I can tell you unequivocally Jim Wren is your BEST choice when hoping to once again hold your precious lost item in you hand. He and the service he provides, I give 5 stars! He loves what he does and it shows. Thank you from the bottom of your tear filled ocean and my heart."

Thank you so much. You are a hero.” (2022)

“This is Ron’s wife, Melanie. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are sure a special person and an Angel. Thank you so much. You are a hero.”

God is great and he works in mysterious ways!! Thank you so much Jim! God bless you. (2022)

im, I can’t thank you enough for finding my wedding ring! I watched it slide off of my finger and drop into the ocean and immediately dove down but had no luck.

Pretty quickly we had 11 people from my family combing the ocean and beach but we couldn’t find it. Kim called and you came over within an hour. My sons were amazed at your approach.

After you left I thought about my mom’s prayers. She said Lord if it’s your will, wouldn’t it glorify you if we had a miracle. She was half joking when she said Lord wouldn’t it be great if a bird delivered the ring to us.

I’m still mind blown thinking about you saying I’m Jim. My last name is Wren like the bird…. That is the honest truth!! God is great and he works in mysterious ways!! Thank you so much Jim! God bless you. Jeff

I highly recommend Jim to everyone who looses jewelry at the beach. (2022)

I will forever be grateful for Jim! After realizing I lost my engagement and wedding band, my husband took action and googled ring finders. Luckily for us, we came across Jim Wren. As soon as we called him, he immediately drop what he was doing to come to the rescue. I really appreciate this, especially during a stressful situation. Jim asked us a few questions and gave us and ETA. He arrived early, was helpful, and very friendly. After just 2 minutes of searching, he gave me a look, and began scooping the sand. Sure enough he found my engagement ring then shortly after my wedding band! I had faith that Jim would find both my rings and he did! I will forever be grateful for him! I highly recommend Jim to everyone who looses jewelry at the beach.

This man is the best!! (2022)

This man is the best!! Can’t thank him enough. He’s an angel

Thank you x100000000 Mr. Jim!!!! You’re the best! (2021)

Jim is the absolute best!!!! My hero for sure! Polite, nice, patient, and thoroughly skilled at detection. I have to admit, I wasn’t very hopeful that my necklace would be found, and so I wasn’t too much help to him in giving the location’s description as I was getting on the road to head home.

But thankfully, Jim was kind enough to go look for it anyway. Within 30 minutes of my initial message to him, he had found it!!! I still am in awe that it came back to me…. The sentimental aspect of this necklace is something I can’t put into words. But to keep it short… after the last year and a half, it’s a tangible testament to everything I’ve lost, been through, overcome; as well as all the blessings of love, compassion, and companionship that I’ve gained.

It’s a spiritual token, my reminder to be kind always and to be a light in this darkening world. A call to remember that no matter what we go through, if we continue to shine with love and light, then it will be given back to us just as bright and beautiful.

And now I have two reminders to be the light…. My returned necklace, and Jim Wren’s example, which is just him living as who he is. I’m so thankful for his skill and even more for his legitimate compassion in getting lost treasures back to those who can’t find them! He’s a walking, talking angel on earth for sure! Thank you x100000000 Mr. Jim!!!! You’re the best!

Thank you The Ring Finders of North Myrtle Beach SC I will forever be so grateful for you!!! (2021)

I can’t even explain the feelings I had when he walked up to me and said “is this your ring?” When I realized I had lost my ring I felt horrible, sick and so mad!! Jim saved me!!! I will never forget this day, never ever!! Thank you The Ring Finders of North Myrtle Beach SC I will forever be so grateful for you!!!

If you’ve lost your ring, call Jim. if anybody can find it, Jim can (2021)

We (obviously) could not have found our ring without Jim. A day after losing the ring, we were just beginning to accept the fact that it might be gone when we found Jim’s page. He drove 2.5 hours to us, without hesitation. He seemed so confident he could find the ring, that we began to believe he could. Lo and behold, he dug it out of the sand half an hour later. Thank you Jim, your help means the world! If you’ve lost your ring, call Jim. if anybody can find it, Jim can.

You and your buddy Jim B. are a Godsend and we are eternally grateful for you both! (2021)

Jim,

When I did an internet search and you popped up, I was amazed at the stories I read and I just knew you’d be able to find my son’s ring! I forwarded him your information; he called you and I texted you at the same time in hopes of reaching you! We both got responses right away and are so grateful that you were willing to help.

You and your buddy Jim B. are a Godsend and we are eternally grateful for you both!

Thanks so much again and keep up the good work!

You were so amazing! Thank you for being kind and so generous... (2020)

You were so amazing! Thank you for being kind and so generous. And most of all, thank you so much for finding my ring!! This was one of the scariest experiences I’ve had so, I’m very thankful you came along and found my ring!! Thanks again!

Tyler and I are so fortunate and grateful to have found you, the answer to our prayers... (2020)

Thank you so much Jim! Being so remote on the island, we had little hope of finding someone with the right equipment and the right experience to help us. Tyler and I are so fortunate and grateful to have found you, the answer to our prayers. Be well and here’s to many more adventures!

Jim was highly recommended... (2020)

I never thought I’d be the guy who lost his wedding ring in the ocean, until Saturday when I became that guy. I knew I wasn’t going to find it searching myself but still the family and I looked for quite a while. Sunday morning I joined South Carolina metal detectors on Facebook and that’s where Jim was highly recommended. He met me on the beach within a 1/2 hour and found the ring within 2 minutes. I still can’t believe it! I can’t explain how happy I am to have it back. Thank you so much

Joshua Pagan

Again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! (2020)

Jim, we cannot thank you enough!! We really thought that we would never see the ring again. ???? Even though the ring was insured, a replacement would not have the same sentimental value. I could tell that my husband was so devastated that he lost his ring in the ocean. Again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! The first thing that we are going to do when we get home is to get my husband’s ring re-sized!:) HA! GREAT WORK!!! Sincerely, Shannon & Jason

You were God sent! (2020)

“Jim had a very positive attitude from the start and was confident that he would find it. Jim’s determination and strong will made it possible. Thank you for all you do Jim. We highly appreciate this and will remember this story forever! You were God sent!

-Simran and Jai“

Thank you for trying so hard to find this heirloom for them!! Also finding this ring on their anniversary... (2020)

Jim, I have had the pleasure of being in the Bernath family for 15 years. And I know what this ring means to both Julie and Lonny!!! What you do reuniting people with treasured items must fulfill you! Thank you for trying so hard to find this heirloom for them!! Also finding this ring on their anniversary trip is something stories will be told for a long time about!! They have a beautiful marriage and to reunite them with such a treasure is wonderful!! If you ever are having a “bad day”, just remember how you affect people’s lives and give back so much joy to everybody that you have helped and will be helping!! Thank you again for making sure that a family trip didn’t turn out to be a sad trip coming home! I hope that if I ever lose anything that you would be around! As I always tell Julie and Lonny, “wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a pat on the back and a hug”!! You’ve done good!!! Take care and continue on….changing people’s lives!!!!

Jim you were a Angel to come to our rescue! (2019)

Jim you were a Angel to come to our rescue! Words aren’t enough to say how grateful l was to see you. I have told everyone l know about you and The Ring Finders! I still tear up when l think about that day! A big Thanks to Matt Fry for being so gracious to get you to call me and Randy that day, Matt was on vacation but jump right in to help. We will never forget either of you! Many thanks again!

Thank you so much for the time and attention... (2019)

Jim you’re my hero! Thank you so much for the time and attention you gave to turning this ladies unhappy tears to those of joy. You are a jewel!!!

Thanks for the incredible work you and your team does every day... (2019)

Thanks, Jim for the awesome job! You saved the day and by extension the Myrtle Beach vacation. Thanks for the incredible work you and your team does every day.

George

Jim was such an amazing blessing... (2019)

I lost the necklace the day before and was sure it was gone. I didn’t contact Jim, I just happened to see him on the beach with his metal detector. While he was looking for something else I asked if he would mind looking for the necklace for me. He agreed right away, and found the necklace in two minutes! Jim was such an amazing blessing and I am so thankful he was there and was willing to stop what he was doing to help me. Thank you Jim!!

Thank you Jim for saving my ring and my vacation! (2019)

I’m so thankful that I found Jim’s information and gave him a call. He was willing to come right away to my surprise and within 30 minutes of arriving he did what I thought would be impossible-finding a ring on a beach that was covered in water just hours before!

Thank you Jim for saving my ring and my vacation!

Jim you were sent from above (2019)

Jim you were sent from above by Alicia’s grandfather. Angels work in strange ways and you will forever be one to Alicia & Sam. You made this Aunt smile along with many others, God Bless and keep up the good work!

Jim, words can’t describe how grateful Patrick and I are for you... (2018)

Jim, words can’t describe how grateful Patrick and I are for you and the work you did to find Patrick’s ring. After searching for a couple of hours in the ocean, we thought it was gone. A wedding ring is so much more than a piece of metal. We’ve been married for 13 years and have welcomed 2 children into our family. We’ve celebrated many wonderful occasions and have supported each other through difficult times. September 1st was also our son, Connor’s, 10th birthday. Connor was so sad that daddy lost his ring and he said he’d always feel sad on his birthday thinking about that. Thank you for taking time away from your own family to work a miracle for mine by finding my husband’s lost ring in the ocean tide.

We are so happy to be a story on this website (2018)

“We are so happy to be a story on this website instead of heading to the jewellery store to try and replace our wedding band! When my husband’s ring was lost on the beach, we didn’t think there was any way it could be retrieved. After finding this website on the internet, we almost didn’t call because we thought it sounded too good to be true. Jim met us within an hour of our phone call at the beach and had found the ring within 20 minutes. We can’t thank you enough, this ring was so special to us both,

Thanks Jim!

Kristin”

Jim, we can't thank you enough and for anyone reading this-I can't recommend his services enough! (2018)

I lost my wedding ring at the beach today and didn't realize until it was time to pack up for the day and leave. Convinced it was a lost cause and gone forever after a day of swimming and an hour of searching ourselves, my husband called Jim. Thank goodness he did. Jim drove all the way to Oak Island and found my ring in less than five minutes. Jim, we can't thank you enough and for anyone reading this-I can't recommend his services enough!

If we only had more Jims in this world, it would be such a better place. (2018)

Jim is one of those guys that you only hear about in movies. Not only did he find my wife’s ring in only a few hours, but then also sent back the ring to me on his own dime (it was shipped insured so it wasn’t cheap). What an outstanding guy!!!!! If we only had more Jims in this world, it would be such a better place.

Jim,

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You can’t even begin to understand how much we appreciate you and what you did for us. You were truly a blessing from up above.

On that note, I wanted to add one more detail to the story, that you so excellently portrayed. When I said you were a blessing from up above, I wasn’t exaggerating. You see, I had all but given up on the idea that we would ever see the ring again (we live in Michigan and it was down in North Carolina). But it was a prayer that started my journey to your doorstep. I was actually heading into work (first day back from our trip to North Carolina) and was thinking about what I could get my wife for mother’s day. After a few silly ideas (of items i would have liked more than her) I stopped and thought well maybe I need some help. Having previously tried all of the online websites, I thought that maybe the maker of the world might be better equipped to shed some light on what my wife (and mother of 4) would really want. So I prayed to God for direction and insight. A few minutes later it came to me that her lost ring was at the top of her list. As we usually do, I just pushed away the thought because there was no way that was even possible. But again the thought came back up, only this time I was told there was someone online that can help. After trying a few search words I found the ring finders. Let me remind you I was still not at work yet. So I called Jim (not knowing if this was a scam since it seemed too good to be true) and left a message around 6:30am (as Jim stated above). At 12:55pm I got a text he had found the ring. WHAT????? Going from “We will never see this ring again” to “Look familiar?!?!’ in just over 6 hours could only have been an act from God. It just so happen Jim was God’s tool that provided my wife with the best mother’s day gift I could ever have imagined.

THANK YOU JIM FOR WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU DID/DO!!!!!!!!!

Meeting you was a Myrtle Beach highlight. (2018)

“Hi there, Jim. It's such a great story and the kids love telling it as their proposal story. It didn't feel so great at the time, but you really turned it around for us. Thank you again for your help and professionalism. Meeting you was a Myrtle Beach highlight.”

I am still in total shock that this amazing man found my husband's ring! (2017)

I am still in total shock that this amazing man found my husband's ring! When we got home from vacation, I thought to check if maybe somebody had found the ring and posted it online. Knowing this was extremely unlikely and having complete doubt that this had actually happened, I saw no harm in searching anyway. So I searched "ring found Cherry Grove, N Myrtle Beach". And the Ring Finders page resulted in my search. I clicked on it because it sounded interesting. I couldn't believe these awesome people even exist as I read through the webpage. So I gave it a whirl, searched the area where our ring was lost, and Jim's name popped up. Well, he told you the rest of the story from there

Jim was WONDERFUL!! Do not hesitate to call him. (2017)

True story. Jim was WONDERFUL!! Do not hesitate to call him. I only wish I had called him the day it happened so we didn't spend a whole day of our vacation looking for the ring!

This guys a pretty amazing dude!! (2017)

"Philip Neiswander

Seriously had pretty much given up hope of my tungsten wedding band being found! I found Jim though the Ring Finders website and he found it in less then 10 minutes of searching! This guys a pretty amazing dude!! Thanks so much Jim!"

Thank you again for doing the, what I thought, impossible. (2017)

"Jim,

Thank you again for doing the, what I thought, impossible. The ring has a lot of sentimental value, and I am really happy to have it back.

Wish you good luck in finding the next lost ring.

Thank you so much for your quick response (2017)

Thank you so much for your quick response and your service! We hope we will not need your services ever again, but are thankful we found you and your blog!! We were amazed at how quickly you were able to find James’ wedding band!

Jim, we cannot say thank you enough again for your help during this minor crisis. (2017)

After having met Jim, I'm not surprised at how he downplays such an important find, given my family and I were returning to Canada 12 hours later so there was absolutely no flexibility in the search. Or that he was there 25 minutes after I contacted him.

Or that it was his wedding anniversary that day and that he was just about out the door for a celebratory dinner with his wife of 43 years and put everything on pause to help a complete stranger who happened across his name online.

Jim, we cannot say thank you enough again for your help during this minor crisis. Our apologies again to you and "Mrs. Jim" for catching you on your anniversary. And we've made sure the hotel is well aware of TRF in the event of any future similar situations from their guests.

Jim Wren gave me that chance. My guardian Angel! I (2016)

I know we have all had those moments in our lives where we would like to have a “ Do-Over”! A moment where you would have done something differently, but we don’t always get that chance.

Well this time I did get that chance. Jim Wren gave me that chance. My guardian Angel! I was near Holden beach and had taken off all my jewelry except a gold toe ring. Which I never take off. I had not even remembered quite honestly that it was on.

This was a ring that had been made for me from another special ring. This was irreplaceable! I found Jim’s name on the ring finders.com and that’s where and when my Do Over began.

Jim made me feel so good with each and every conversation. I had resigned myself to having lost my ring. But Jim’s focus was never how much he was getting paid but finding what meant so much to me.

It was so obvious that he was passionate about what he did in helping people. He was relentless going repeatedly to the beach for over a week. Never seeming to give up! For that I am eternally grateful!

I would recommend Jim for the job without hesitation. (2016)

To think you can actually recover a lost ring in the ocean. I was reluctant when Eleazar called Jim for help. Jim was true to every word he said to us. He showed up when he said he would and found Eleazar’s ring in that choppy ocean.

Jim was in knee deep water with jellyfish trying to find something that wasn’t his and not expecting a dime if he found anything. Jim is an amazing person! I am still in shock that he was able to recover my husband’s wedding band! Thank you Jim!

I would recommend Jim for the job without hesitation. What he did for us and what he can do for others is wonderful! Call him as soon as you lose something on the beach. He will be there within the hour if he’s not on a job.

He’s so nice, knows what he’s doing, and will keep searching to find your treasure. What a guy!

I would recommend him to anyone who has lost an item (2016)

My husband and I were on vacation in North Myrtle celebrating our anniversary. My husband and daughter were tossing a ball back and forth in the surf and shortly afterwards we realized his wedding band was missing.

We looked, to no avail, and considered the ring a loss. We were almost sick the rest of the afternoon, but I thought I would put an ad on Craigslist “lost and found” in case an honest person found it. While I was making the post, I saw an ad for Ringfinders.

I was skeptical, but thought it was worth a shot. I called Jim Wren and he put me at ease right away. He was very professional when we met to show him the area where we thought the ring was, and told me he would call if he found it.

I really didn’t expect to hear from Jim, but around 7:00 that afternoon he sent a text with a picture of him holding the ring!!! Our prayers were answered, and we couldn’t be more excited to go meet him to get the ring.

I would recommend him to anyone who has lost an item-he seemed genuinely concerned about us and our feelings. I can’t thank him enough!!”

Turns out Jim from The Ring Finders of North Myrtle Beach SC was my saving grace!! (2016)

What began as our first family vacation in years quickly turned the corner when I lost my wedding ring in the Atlantic Ocean 15 minutes into our trip while surfing …

I thought tonight while in Myrtle Beach we would be celebrating completing the first year of Nurse Practitioner school, surviving a day of surfing, or just being together as a family….

After hours and hours of walking the beach and several tears being shed, we gave a desperate plea of googling and coming across a local “ring finder.” Turns out Jim from The Ring Finders of North Myrtle Beach SC was my saving grace!!

He came immediately following our phone call and swept the water up and down and back and forth with his metal detector. Not only did he give me reassurance and confidence that he would find it, even if it meant searching for weeks, he gave me evidence…MY RING!!!!!

Most people do not know people like Jim are out there ready to help out of the pure goodness of their hearts and with very little recognition! So if your ever in my position… First, take your ring off before you get in the water or know people like Jim are out there just waiting to help!!! Thank you Jim!!!!”

Patsaneia is one happy lady, after getting her ring back (2016)

Thank you so much Jim. We are so happy that you found our ring. From the first call,

you have been so polite and professional. From going out to the Dunes hotel to find our ring. I was hoping to hear back from you soon. After a couple of hours the first text that i had gotten was a picture of our ring in your hand saying you found it. We had our doubts but I can not tell you enough how much relief it was knowing that soon we would have our ring back. Patsaneia is one happy lady, after getting her ring back. Thank you from the both of us

I am blessed beyond measure to have been able to come across The Ring Finders! What you guys do is phenomenal! (2016)

Jim,

I can’t tell you over and over again how amazing you are! My whole family is still in awe that we have my wedding band! When I received the text message from you with the picture of my wedding band – many of us were speechless.

I am blessed beyond measure to have been able to come across The Ring Finders! What you guys do is phenomenal!

My thought process in calling you was that I was so incredibly thankful that you would come out but I really did not have a lot of hope. I just didn’t want to leave without a fight when it came to losing my ring set.

But I still just can’t even put into words my thankfulness to you. you showed up 20 minutes after I called you and the type of person that you are showed from the first time I met you.

It was pretty reassuring to have such a wonderful person (trustworthy) searching for it. Josh and I are forever grateful. And we’re grateful you feel as though you haven’t given up on my engagement ring!!!”

Lyndsey Lovett

Thank you so much. (2016)

Thank you so much. I never thought there was even a chance to ever see one of them again.”

So, from one dad to another, THANK YOU my friend. THANK YOU, for making my “little girl’s” wish a reality. (2016)

I don’t know how to thank you, as mere words cannot express the gratitude we have for what you did. You see, Kaley is my daughter. My one and only!

When she called us at 3:00am and told us her ring was “gone”, our hearts sank. We know how much that ring means to her. We purchased the insurance to replace the ring when we bought it. But, to her it was just “not the same”. Knowing that there was NO WAY she would ever find her ring again, I tried to do what any dad would do. I told her it would be okay, “we will get you another one”.

In my heart I knew she would never be happy with “another one”. Yet we had to do something! She told us she had contacted you and we thought “1 in a trillion chance” that you would find it.

When she forwarded us your text and the picture, we were blown away! This couldn’t be. It had to be “lost at sea”, “eaten by fish”, or “buried forever in the shifting sands”. But, YOU did it! You were the one in a trillion. So, from one dad to another, THANK YOU my friend. THANK YOU, for making my “little girl’s” wish a reality. We will be taking her to Kansas in a couple of weeks. I know that that meeting you and knowing what you did, will always be with her. Your kindness and the generosity of your time means so very much. Thank you again! Have a blessed day!

The ring was insured, but no amount of insurance money would have given us back what Jim gave us — the original ring (2016)

We are SO thankful to Jim. His hard work and dedication really made the difference on finding this ring. After the first hour, we thought it was basically hopeless. Jim kept pushing on, trying a different detector, trying different areas and talking to everyone he could to get a better idea of where the ring might be. He was not going to give up — and he didn’t! Strangers on the beach were still cheering and talking about him long after he found our ring.

The ring was insured, but no amount of insurance money would have given us back what Jim gave us — the original ring with all its associated sentimental value. Jim, you are wonderful man and you turned a potentially very sad situation into a joyous memory we will cherish. Thank you so much!!

Jim, you are an angel! (2016)

Jim, you are an angel! We were mourning the loss of that ring and accepting the fact that it was long gone. Matt was truly heartbroken because it was his original wedding ring. Jewelry can be replaced but that band stands for so much more to both of us. You’ve given us an irreplaceable gift and we will be forever grateful. Yes, we have Gracie to thank, too. When we had given up, the faith and determination of a child delivered us a little miracle. Thank you so much Jim!

You guy’s are definitely our hero’s (2016)

Jim & Matt,

Thank you so much for looking for my daughters(Mandy F.) ring. She was very heartbroken when she lost it. She tried to hide it but I knew it really affected her. You guy’s are definitely our hero’s and we appreciate all you have done for her and for other’s like her. Not too many good and honest people in this world anymore. Thanks again!

A man of many miracles, an angel on earth!!! (2015)

Jim,

You are a kind, amazing man!!! A man of many miracles, an angel on earth!!! I cried when my husband showed me his lost ring that you found after 4 days and heavy storms!! When he lost it, I didn’t think we would ever see it again! I wish I would have been there to personally give you a hug!! What you do is wonderful and I am thankful for your help!!! Thanks so much!!!
