Barnstable, MA: Cape Cod Beach, Wedding Band Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

August 6, 2023 was what began as a great afternoon of boating on Cape Cod Bay turned into a fretful time of searching for a wedding band that had slipped from Zach’s finger after only 2 months of being worn. Zach tried diving in 9 feet of water to find the ring but lacked the ability to hold his breath long enough to do much searching under water. When the tide went out and the area was void of water he and others tried using a metal detector and “eye-ball” searching with no success.

One of Zach’s friends suggested he call J&E Enterprise, a metal detector dealer for suggestions. Eleanor offered up my name and number. Zach then called me. The tide was about ¾ full and I knew I could not detect in the 9 foot deep water and made arrangements for an early morning meeting when the tide would be down to only waist deep.

The morning came with storm alerts on the NOAA radio. High winds, heavy rain and possible tornadoes were on the horizon for Cape Cod area. The sky was a bit overcast at 7:30AM but otherwise it looked like the beginning of a wonderful day. I took a chance and left the safety of my home and was off to meet up with Zach, After the introduction and being shown were the over-size ring slipped from his finger I was in the water searching in a grid pattern. About 45 minutes of searching with only one other signal I located the wedding band.

I left the ring in my detecting scoop and headed out of the water, back to where Zach had been standing. He thought I had given up searching and I said yes, there is no need to search any further. I then put the scoop in front of him so he could see the ring in the scoop and retrieve it for himself. I love the emotions people show when their lost item has been found and is being returned. Even bystanders are amazed and become elated as they watch and add congratulations.

Zach’s wife was home and had offered up a bit of advice when she was told of the “loss”. That was “do not tell your mother until after TheRingFinder does his search.” While Zach was talking to Kelly I texted her a picture of the return. Yes, it was a wonderful feeling to be part of this story that ended with smiles that spread between Zach on Cape Cod and his wife several states away.

OH, I must add that the weatherman was correct. Two hours after I arrived back home the NOAA alerts started coming in every few minutes, Then the wind, rain, and lightening engulfed our area. There were two tornadoes in our area. One EF1 touched down about 30 miles and the other an EF0 was only 5 miles away. There was physical damage to homes and property but no human injuries. Both Zach and I were among the lucky ones this morning.

While on another search at an ocean beach on Block Island, a young girl approached me to ask for my help.  She explained that her dad, Marty, had just lost his wedding ring while boogie boarding with his kids.  He rode a wave and felt the ring fall off in the water near shore.  I interrupted the other search to look for the ring.  It took thirty minutes to find it in the sand near shore.  Marty and his wife were thrilled.  They felt so blessed that I happened to be there when they needed my help. You see, this was not just any ordinary wedding ring.  It had belonged to his wife’s grandfather, George, who passed away in 2019.  The ring was gifted to Marty because he married the eldest granddaughter and was very close to George.  Marty’s ring is now with his wife for safe keeping until it can be resized!

Lost Gold Chain with Ring Recovered on Block Island RI

Brandi contacted me on 8/1/2023 to ask for my help.  She was referred to me by Wayne, a friend and experienced metal detecting enthusiast.  Brandi’s husband, Iving, had lost a man’s gold chain on which hung a woman’s gold wedding ring.  These items held much sentimental value to Irving, as well as his sister Nancy, as they were gifts from their dad and mom, who had passed away.  The chain with ring came off when Irving was diving into the ocean at a beach on Block Island on 7/28/2023.  They hired someone to look for the item and even went back to Block Island to search themselves but were unsuccessful.  I knew I had to get out there as soon as possible to search for the item, so I headed out to Block Island the next day.  After searching in the water for two and a half hours, I found the chain with ring still securely attached.  I called Brandi from the beach to give her the good news…she was so excited.  Brandi and Irving, as well as his sister Nancy and her partner Manny, came to my home to retrieve the item.  They were very emotional when I returned the chain with ring.  What a touching moment when Irving put it back on his neck.  My wife and I felt an instant connection to this beautiful family.

Jim and Lisa rented a beach house on the private section of Charlestown Beach.  While enjoying the beach, Lisa removed her platinum diamond wedding band to apply sunscreen but didn’t put the ring back on her finger.  A half hour later, she realized that it was missing and had gotten buried in the beach sand.  Jim called to ask for my help with finding the ring. I searched the beach for about 20 minutes before locating her ring.  They were so excited and appreciative!

Lost Ring in Gulf Shores, AL – FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

Bill and Sarah reached out to me earlier in July. Bill had lost his platinum wedding band in the Gulf while vacationing in Gulf Shores. I made plans to go help but unfortunately it was a terrible lightning storm and it was just not safe to go that afternoon. They had already gone back to their home in Auburn but I wasn’t giving up. I got up the next morning to beat the storms and also so I could get it done before having to be at work. The Gulf was a mess and it was all I could do to hold a line in the rough seas. They had put out the red and purple flags overnight. Luckily, I didn’t have to go far when I heard a great tone and quickly scooped up Bill’s ring before the sun even peeked over the horizon. I sent a picture and briefly spoke to Sarah on the phone. I told her that I was coming to Montgomery in a few days for work and she was thrilled because Bill’s Dad lives there. I battled some more storms on the way up which seemed only fitting but I was able to drop it into the hands of Bill’s father and smile as he checked it out. I think Bill and Sarah were a little camera shy but they sent this picture of both of their hands with Bill’s ring where it is supposed to be. They entitled it “Reunited” which I think says it all. 😃

These rings are probably the most expensive set I have recovered this season, truly beautiful pieces!

Recieved a call from Lindsays husband. He explained that his wife had removed her three rings and placed them in the cup holder of her beach chair. She later folded the chair when moving it and forgotten that she had placed the rings in the cup holder. The couple was seated right at the high tide line and the tide was moving in and almost at high tide when they realized they had gone missing. Took the short ride over and met up with the couple. You could tell there was some urgency and tension & understandably so. Literially on the first pass all three ring were located, much to the couples relief! Another happy client!

A Wedding Ring Lost at Ventura State Beaches
Early Sunday morning, a disheartened young man called me, crushed by the loss of his wife’s wedding ring in the sandy shores and waist-deep waters of Ventura State Beaches. They’d searched tirelessly, even with a metal detector, but the ring stayed hidden. Determined to help, I scheduled a lost ring recovery mission in Ventura County for Monday at 5 a.m., timing it with a low tide to maximize our chances at Ventura State Beaches—close to spots like Ventura Beach and Marina Park Beach.
I know Ventura County’s beaches well—the minimal slope at Ventura State Beaches meant the ring might still be near, not swept out like at Rincon Beach or Silverstrand Beach. With my new Equinox 900 metal detector, I gridded the area meticulously, sifting through sand and waves. After 45 minutes, a sharp 28-29 signal cut through the dawn silence. One deep scoop later, the wedding ring gleamed in my hand—a shining victory for lost ring recovery in Ventura County, from Oxnard Beach Park to Hollywood Beach Oxnard!

Centerville, MA 3 Lost Rings Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

August 1, 2023 was to be Brian’ third lucky charm day. He had lost his ring two years ago and I found and returned it. About two weeks ago he call to ask for help in finding his daughters ring. As I was leaving for the beach the phone rang again. This time to tell me not to bother, the group had found the ring in the sand. Today another call from Brian was to tell me his friend Patrick had just lost his ring in the surf.

Ten minutes later I was on my way as was Leighton. What a team member. He was on the way from the west and I from the east of the point of ring loss. On the way, while stopped at a stop sign I saw Leighton coming down the road. He passed and I followed him. We stopped, set up a plan. and were off to a private club. We were greeted at the front door of the club and were escorted to the beach boardwalk. On the beach we met up with Brian and Patrick, covered the usual questions and headed for the water. Detector and scoop at the ready I headed down the slope, heard a target, stopped to dig the target, some 30 feet from where Patrick was standing acting as a point of reference for the lost ring.

One scoop in the soft sand and I had a wedding band in my scoop. I walked out to were Patrick was standing. After giving the ring to him I saw a puzzled look on his face. He was a bit unsure thatt it was “the ring” lost. The lost ring had been his great-great-great-grandfather’s and at first Patrick did not see two identifying dents on the ring’s edge. The ring had been removed from the deceased by cutting and the repair left the two small marks. Thinking it might not be “the Ring” Leighton and I continued to search the area. While searching I thought about time and tide. The ring had been lost for almost two hours and the tide was going out. That was the reason for the difference in distance from where I found the ring and where Patrick was standing. Further inspection of the ring the indents were visible and there was no karat marking, an indication of the ring’s age and lastly, there was no inscription on the ring. Yes it was Patrick’s ring.

Another Lost ring had been found, returned and it’s story entered into the “Book of Smiles”.
