Ashley lost her college class ring while boating on the lake. She was having a good time and waving when all of a sudden her ring flew off. Fast forward 8 years and the lake had to be drained for work that was going to be done. Her grandmother still lives on the lake. Ashley is a traveling nurse so I left the ring with her grandmother to give to her for a Christmas present.

Nayan was enjoying a beautiful day on the beach in Longport, NJ, when his wedding band slipped off into the sand while he was handing it to his wife. Understandably, panic set in as they searched desperately for the precious ring.
I received the call to help and arrived on the scene shortly after. With my trusty metal detector and a keen sense of optimism, I got the details and began the search. It only took two passes, and there it was – the lost wedding band! Just a few swings later, Nayan’s ring was back where it belonged. The family could finally go back to enjoying their day at the beach in the Longport, NJ!

*** Hours after his marriage, Noah lost his gold wedding ring in the sand at Newport Beach, CA. He was able to contact me the next morning asking if I could help him. I was able to meet him on the beach soon after the call.
He was frustrated and embarrassed after spending hours on his honeymoon night crawling around in the sand trying to locate the ring. I tried to comfort him by telling him it’s common for people to lose new rings that haven’t been sized.
Nevertheless our possibilities were good to be able to find the ring because he called me promptly and was there to get me in the general area. Fifteen minutes later we had his special gold wedding ring recovered from the sand. Noah was now a happy newlywed and will remember this for a while.

I received a text from a client who stated her husband had lost his wedding band in a field by their house. We spoke on the phone and set up a time for me to come out. It sounded like a pretty standard search, this time of year I worry about the amount of daylight I have when I go out in the afternoon. There were two things about this search that struck me…one was the ring was stainless steel and the other was this was one house away from a previous client.
So as with all of our searches there are the stories that go along with them and this one was pretty cool. First, it wasn’t my previous client that recommended me, it was her grandma…I got a nice chuckle out of that (Thanks Gram!). Secondly, was the story about the ring and why it was made of stainless steel. Jocelyn’s father was a machinist and he made the ring. Then I was informed that the pastor who married them had passed away and that their wedding was the last marriage that he blessed. So therein was the story behind the ring, the special extras that make this wedding ring extra special!
Next came the ride in the side by side, now I was getting a bit nervous. I thought this was going to be by the house but then we were driving up into a huge farm field across the road. On the way up Johnny explained he was tossing pumpkins in the field when he felt the ring slip off. He said it slid off when he was moving his arms backwards. He dropped me off and I marked my starting point with my shovel and a large tree limb I pulled from the wood line. I searched for a long time back and forth, when suddenly I realized – it is hunting season dummy, where is your orange…too late. I hoped my bright blue hat would be enough that I wouldn’t be confused with a big buck. Then I found the pumpkins he tossed further out from where he left me off. I also found a large stainless steel nut they had tossed in the field when they had been looking with a metal detector. I picked it up and put it in my pocket for later. So daylight was waning and I started getting more nervous and was planning in my head for coming back out on Sunday to look again. I took a break, got out my phone and said the St. Anthony prayer for lost items. Then I put my phone away and got back at it, this time picking up the pace. I decided I would quickly search below my starting point. So I began going the other way from the tree branch I placed as my marker and within about 3 passes BAM…I found it (Thanks St. Anthony). It was starting to get dark and a huge sense of relief set it. I gathered up all my things and walked back down to the house. I sent a text saying I was done. Johnny came back and he was guessing I did not find it. Before letting the cat out of the bag, I told him that I did find something and handed him the big stainless steel nut. Then I told him there was something else and returned his ring. He was convinced I hadn’t found it and gave up because it was dark; so he was surprised and happy to have his ring back. It was great to meet more kind and generous people like Johnny and his wife and keeps me looking forward to the next client(s) and the next find.

I was contacted by Tom who lost his ring doing yard work. He was throwing some sticks and vegetation over an embankment when his ring went flying. We made arrangements and I went out to see what I could find. It was not too bad of an area to search with a lot of leaves, trees and grass clippings. I started to look and did not find it where Tom thought it might be. I then started to expand my search area. Tom in his kindness gathered some of the sticks and things and moved them into a pile a short distance from where he thought his ring would be found before I had arrived. I then went through that pile of stuff and beyond. It was on the other side of the items that Tom had cleaned up hoping to give me a better chance at finding it. He could not believe how far the ring actually traveled. I was happy to have recovered the ring and Tom was elated to have it back. Another successful day for another kind and generous client.
Got a call this morning from a lady that had lost her 14k gold ring with some heirloom diamonds/sapphires that she had specially made. She lost it in Lake James near Charolette, NC. 3.5 hr drive (one way)
She lost it off a dock at a friends house. She was stepping down to get into her kayak when she grabbed the wire/cable of the ramp to the boat dock. As she grabbed it the cable caught the ring (it has a cut out in it) and pulled it off of her finger. She thought it had fallen straight down and bounced off her kayak on the right hand side of the ramp. After almost 5 hours of searching the right side I expanded and moved to the left side. After about 30 more mins I found her ring! It was a very choppy signal on the AT MAX I think because of the cut in the ring and the clay in the lake.
But I didn’t give up! She knew it was there and I wasn’t giving up until I found it. 5.5 hours later it was found and back on her finger where it belonged!
I managed to surprise her with the return too! Love making folks happy again when I find something they feared was lost forever.

Got a call from a gentleman that found me online. His wife had lost both of her wedding rings while taking pine straw from some bushes, dropping it as she worked in the cold weather.
At some point both of her rings slipped off her finger and into the pine straw/leaves and they couldn’t find them!
After arriving I found out it was two rings when I thought it was just one ring. About 30 mins later she had both rings back where they belonged!!
These are truly moments I live for!!

Carma saw one of my ring finder posts and decided to bait me with a challenge. 30 years ago she lost a ring her mom had given her. She was at a party playing volleyball, never felt it slip off but looked down and realized it was missing. One problem, the land had all been developed. So I started investigating to see if there was a chance it might still be in some ground that was undisturbed. I got permission and long story short found it after about 3 hours of searching. We talked about what this ring meant to her and that she can now tell her mom that the ring passed down with love has been found.
Got a call last week about a gentleman that had lost his rose gold wedding band while planting azaleas at his house.
He had an exact copy of that ring and I was able to get the exact VDI (VDI 87) of the lost ring! It took me about a min to find his ring!
He and his wife couldn’t believe I had found it so fast!

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee…call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7…610-504-6135
On Thursday afternoon, December 7th, 2023, I received a call from Joe stating he had lost his large 14K yellow gold and diamond retirement ring he had custom designed 14 years ago. The ring has an intricate design of a prized elk Joe had gotten while on a hunting trip in Canada. The ring is one of a kind and very sentimental. Joe thought it came off while he was smashing and throwing pumpkins out in his backyard to feed deer. Joe lives in Brentwood, Tennessee, which is about an hour and a half drive from where I live in Huntsville, Alabama. I don’t mind driving and actually enjoy making these trips, but the search would have to wait until Saturday since I had to work at my regular day job on Friday. I told Joe that the ring wouldn’t go anywhere since it was on his private property.
I made the drive to Brentwood, TN early Saturday morning. We had the threat of severe weather in the afternoon, so I wanted to beat the storms. Before my trip, I prayed for safe travels, good weather, and a successful ring recovery. I met Joe and his wife, Lesly, at their home around 8:30 AM. Joe and I walked out to his backyard. He showed me how he would smash small to medium sized pumpkins by throwing them very hard at tree roots on the ground to break up the pumpkins, and then throw the pieces in the woods/field for the deer to eat. He didn’t feel or see the ring come off, but thought this would be the most likely chance when it did. I had Joe re-enact the throws with the test ring I brought. Both Joe and I thought the ring came off on the smashing action, so I started in that area.
I had my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 15-inch coil for this search due to the large area to cover. I started my grid search and was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the ground was (little to no trash). This would help speed up the search. Joe hung around for a few minutes to see how it was going, but then headed off to wash his truck.
There were a few good sounding shallow signals that I checked along the way, but no ring so far. About 20 minutes into the search and I had a loud tone. I swung my metal detector to the side and saw that beautiful gold rim gleaming back up at me. It was Joe’s ring!!! I took off my gloves, powered off my detector and set it on the ground. I didn’t touch the ring, because I wanted Joe to see how it looked—just slightly covered with a leaf.
I turned around and saw that Joe was busy washing his truck. Lesly was on the porch watching me. I gave her a big smile and two thumbs up. She yelled, “you found it!?” I said, “got it!” Joe heard this and just about lost his mind (in a good way lol). He ran over and gave me the biggest hug, thanked me profusely, and told me he loved me lol! It’s really hard to put into words the reaction us Ring Finders get when we find and return someone’s very sentimental ring or item. I can say that it’s one of the best feelings in the world and truly feels like my purpose in life. I give all glory to God and thank Him for all these amazing adventures I get to go on and the people I get to meet.
Joe and I took some pictures and headed in the house. I talked with Joe and Lesly for over an hour. I really enjoyed our conversation and thank them for their hospitality. We said our goodbyes and I was on my way back to Huntsville. Looking forward to the next adventure…
