I responded yesterday to a call from Alice, an Italian girl who now lives in NW Spain who asked for help in finding her “special” ring that was lost in the Mediterranean. She said that she didn’t know who to call so used an AI app on her cellphone and the very first recommendation was Larry Griffith with
Theringfinders.com
Her “special” ring was a silver ring her fiancé gave her 5 years ago with a fake diamond. She said it held very special emotional significance. Although I couldn’t respond last night due to another engagement, I drove 3 hrs this morning and met Alice and her mother at the beach. When I arrived, she said she actually lost 3 rings but she was only concerned with her “special” one. Fortunately, both agree to a specific “loss” area that was not large. After about 30 minutes, I located the first ring. This helped to identify the loss location more precisely. Unfortunately, the ring was not the one that concerned her. A few minutes later I found the second one but again, it was not the important ring. After a few more minutes, the special ring was found!
When I gave Alice her “special “ ring
she cried for 5 minutes on her hands and knees on the wet sand. She repeatedly said it was absolutely “the best day of her life ever!” Wow, what a wonderful hobby this is!

My heart is still full.
When I lost my engagement ring in the sea, I felt like a part of my story had been washed away forever. That ring wasn’t just jewelry—it was memory, love, promise, and time, all wrapped in silver and sealed by the heart. I felt hopeless… until I found Larry.
Larry is not just someone with a metal detector—he is a real-life angel with a headlamp, a calm heart, and a soul full of kindness. From the moment he arrived, I felt something shift. His presence was reassuring, his determination unwavering, and his spirit humble. He gave me hope again.
And then… he found it.
My “special” ring, the one my fiancé gave me 5 years ago, rose from beneath the sea thanks to this extraordinary man. I cried like a child because in that moment, it wasn’t just about the ring—it was about the love and magic that someone like Larry helped me recover.
Larry, thank you for giving me back a piece of my heart. I will carry this memory forever.
You are not just a Ring Finder—you are a keeper of stories, of love, and of miracles.
With all my gratitude,
Alice
Response from client Alice…
Hi Larry, I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Finding my engagement ring buried in the sand was something I never thought would happen-and you made it possible. You quite literally saved my happiness. That ring means the world to me, and I’ll never forget what you did. I’d really love to give you a small reward as a token of my appreciation. It’s not much compared to what the ring is worth emotionally, but I hope you’ll accept ***as a heartfelt thank-you for your honesty and kindness. Please let me know when you come to Santiago de Compostela because I would like to invite you at my house and for dinner with your wife. Thank you!…
