Lost Silver Owl Sentimental Ring at Lanikuhonua Lagoon Ko Olina…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began Sunday afternoon when I got a text from Kelsey who lives in Wahiawa on Oahu and was enjoying her day with friends at Lanikuhonua Lagoon on Ko Olina resort.  She put her Silver Owl Face ring in her beach bag for safe keeping.  At the end of the day the ring was missing from the bag.  Kelsey could only assume it fell out as she was putting items in and out of her bag.  It was getting late but there was just enough sunlight that I could get out to the lagoon for a quick hunt.  I grabbed my gear and headed off.  The traffic was really good so I got to the lagoon faster then I thought.  I started my hunt high up on the beach as that is where Kelsey had her beach items.  I worked my way down the slope and also noticed a high tide went all the way to the top of this beach.  That meant the ring probably traveled down the slope with each wave.  On a leg about 3/4 of the way down the slope I got a broken my decent high tone on the Manticore.  One scoop and there was an owl looking at me from inside my scoop.  Wow!  Now that’s a really cool ring.  The eyes would follow you as you rotated the ring.  When I got to my phone I texted then called Kelsey that i had found her unique sentimental ring.  She was obviously very relieved and met me today near my work for the return.  Have a Mele Kalikimaka and Aloha to Kelsey!

It was already dark when I received Jason’s call. He was at the beach with friends having fun when he noticed his ring missing from his finger. He wanted to know if I could help, and I let him know I would leave immediately to help find his ring. He said he and his friends would meet me there.

I got there in the dark, and began walking down the beach to where they said they had been. When I got there no one was there, so I called him to find out if he was around, and he let me know they were on the way. When they arrived he showed me how he had jumped from the lifeguard tower, and when he landed his ring was gone. I began my search where he had showed me, but found nothing. So I began to work out of the area. Then after about 5 more minutes I had his ring, and handed it back to him. It was a ring that was placed on his finger when he was a baby, that’s why it was split. Jason was very happy to have back.

Gold Promise Ring Lost in the Sand at Dockweiler Beach…Found and Happily Returned

Luna called. She had lost her promise ring right at the water’s edge at the beach the day before, and was wondering if I could help her. I let her know that I would meet her there at her earliest convenience, so we arranged a time to meet.

I got to the beach, and found Luna very quickly because there were very few people there. There were a couple of areas, and a stretch sand to cover. I searched each spot she showed me, and then worked on the stretch of sand. I made pass after pass finding a few trash metal pieces, and then got a nice faint signal in the head phones. I put my scoop in, and pulled out a delicate small ring which turned out to be the one we were looking for. She was very happy to have it back.

Lost Platinum Wedding Ring near Coeur d’Alene Idaho….Found!!!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

There was a quick and heavy snow fall that gripped the Coeur d’Alene region, last Tuesday. The roads were impacted; the houses were blanketed and the cars that were left out had been fully covered. This was bad news for Brad. The family had to leave the house soon. Before starting his truck, the driver’s side door had to be cleared. The top of the door always dumps snow into the cab if it’s not removed. After getting the snow off the car he had to clean his hands. With a quick flick the snow shot off his hands. But with the snows icy grip, it stole his ring from his finger. The quick theft that happened on his ring finger sent a cooled chill into his hand. Brad’s brain knew right away that the slippery hand of snow had struck, and his ring was gone. The search began for Brad’s ring instantly. The snow was deep, and it was dark out. So, Brad knew he had to get a metal detector. He was able to rent one and after only finding iron, he returned the detector.  While at the rental shop the clerk told Brad about « A Group » that uses metal detectors. That group, Brad found out, was called The Ring Finders.  So, Brad’s wife Alissa called me and made arrangements for me to come out the next day. After greetings and handshakes, I walked over to the side yard and spoke to Brad about the action that he did to lose his ring. He showed me the flicking motion he did with his hand and where the ring could have landed. I started searching and right away I got a signal and bent down and found a piece of wire. Then moved on down the side of the grass. As I came back, I got the same signal right where I found the wire. So, I pinpointed and dug through the grass until the ring popped out. The ring had buried itself so deep in the grass, that it wasn’t visible by eye and the wire hid it from the metal detector.  I was able to get that sneaky ring back to Brad very quickly.  Thank you, Brad and Alissa, for trusting The Ring Finders. Merry Christmas.

Today I had the opportunity to help a young gentleman named Luke search for his lost wedding band out in the Bloomfield, VT Wildlife Management Area. After tracking through thick brush, uneven ground, and more than 4½ miles of searching, we finally found it.

There’s nothing better than seeing the look of relief and gratitude when something so meaningful is recovered. Proud to have been able to help and glad Luke’s ring is back where it belongs. 🥾🔍💍

Lost Pendant Found Bay Beach – Fort Erie Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

We were at Bay Beach finishing up a few recovery services when a group of young men approached us. They looked worried, and one of them stepped forward to explain what had happened. While they had been wrestling around in the shallow water, his necklace had suddenly snapped and disappeared beneath the waves. This wasn’t just any necklace. It had belonged to his late father, and the pendant was something he carried with him every day as a reminder of him. Losing it hit him hard, and you could see the panic in his eyes as he talked.

He pointed out the stretch of water where it happened. Even though it was shallow, the waves constantly shifted the sand, making it easy for something small and precious to vanish instantly. We grabbed our gear and stepped into the water, determined to help.

The search began slowly and carefully. The detector hummed as we swept back and forth, inching along the bottom. The young men stood watching from the shoreline, their excitement replaced with quiet worry. It was clear how much this necklace meant to their friend. Every time the detector signaled, everyone leaned forward, hoping it would be the right one. Most of the signals turned out to be bottle caps, small bits of metal and lake debris.

After several minutes of searching, the detector gave a sharp, solid tone. We fanned the sand and the pendant was right in front of us.. The moment we held it up, the mood changed instantly.

The young man’s face lit up with pure relief. He rushed over, thanking us again and again. His friends cheered, clapping him on the back and laughing with that kind of happiness that only comes from getting something truly important back. It felt like the whole beach shared the moment for a second.

Seeing how much that necklace meant to him made the recovery feel incredibly rewarding. Bay Beach gave us another unforgettable memory that day, and we left knowing we had helped return not just an item, but a piece of someone’s heart.

Lost Gold Ring Found in Lake Erie – Crystal Beach Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

It was a beautiful afternoon at Crystal Beach when a very worried woman approached us. She explained that her ring had slipped off somewhere in the water while she was swimming. This was not just any ring. It was a gift from her husband who was back home in India, and losing it left her completely heartbroken. She could barely speak without tearing up as she pointed out the general area where she thought it might have fallen.

We headed into the water right away. The waves were gentle, but the shifting sand underneath made the search challenging. We began a slow, careful grid pattern with the detector, moving inch by inch through waist deep water. Every signal mattered, and each time the detector buzzed, we hoped it would be the ring. Instead, we pulled up bottle caps, bits of metal and other small scraps buried beneath the sand. The woman stood anxiously on the shoreline, watching every move and hoping for a miracle.

After nearly an hour of searching, the detector gave a clean, solid tone, the kind that instantly makes you stop and focus. We scooped beneath the sand and lifted the scoop out of the water. As the water drained away, something small and bright glimmered in the sunlight. It was the ring.

When we held it up, the woman gasped and covered her face with both hands. Then she ran into the water, laughing and crying at the same time. Everyone nearby started cheering and smiling. The relief on her face was unforgettable. She kept saying how grateful she was and how much the ring meant to her, especially with her husband being so far away.

It was one of those moments that reminds you why helping people recover their lost items is so special. A tiny piece of jewelry, found beneath the shifting sand and waves, brought so much joy back to someone’s day. Crystal Beach will always feel a little more magical because of that search.

Lost diamond stud ear ring, Orlando Florida…found by metal detectorist!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:


David’s wife was dropping their young daughter off at school and as she bent down to give her a kiss her diamond stud ear ring got tangled up in her daughter’s hair! It dropped somewhere either into the grass or onto her daughter’s backpack or on the sidewalk. After a frantic search someone suggested she call one of The Ring Finders! I met David and conducted an extensive search but my metal detector only picked up lots of small pieces of aluminum and a ton of small trash items. My last look over the sidewalk revealed where her lost diamond stud ear ring was hiding…and it was in one of the joints of the sidewalk and it was almost impossible to see! But thankfully it was found and returned to a very grateful young couple. I breathed a silent prayer of thanksgiving as I drove home!

How can I help you find something you have lost recently or years ago? Call or text me ASAP as 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Mike McInroe…very thankful to be a member of theringfinders.com

Beautiful Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in West Chester, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

I was completing my 2nd ring finder mission of the day when I received a text from Jim regarding a lost platinum wedding band. It just so happens I was 15 minutes down the road successfully helping another gentlemen with his lost band…so i headed in his direction. Upon arrival Jim took me to his backyard and explained that he was playing/wrestling with his dogs when his ring came up missing. He suggested an area where he felt it most likely fell off….but couldn’t rule out any area in the large yard. As I always do I started scanning with my metal detector the most likely area the ring was lost. From 40 years of metal detecting I know that a ring on the surface has a very dramatic/unique signal on a metal detector…so I was hyper focused on hearing just that signal. I also calibrated my machine for just a gold/platinum ring. 3 minutes into the search….the signal I was looking for blew my ears off! It was 3 inches down in the deep grass and invisible to my eyes…but I knew it was there. I got out my ponpointer…dug around….and there it was! I was very happy to be able to return Jim’s ring to him…his smile as I handed his ring to him makes being a busy ring finder the best thing in the world!

Man’s 14K Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost at the Water’s Edge, Found and Returned Ocean Isle Beach, NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

This adventure started on Sunday, Nov 30th around 11:30 am when I received a text saying, “Hi Jim. We lost a men’s gold wedding band at Ocean Isle Beach on Wednesday. Any chance it is findable? It was in the surf as the tide was going out.” I texted her back and told her I’d call her shortly. A short time later I called the number attached to the text and spoke to Susan. She told me that the ring was lost at approximately 3 pm on Wednesday, Nov 26th. A check of the tide tables for the 26th showed low tide was at 5:24 pm, meaning the ring was lost about 2 ½ hours before low tide. Susan also said that there was a couple of gentlemen metal detecting who had looked for the ring without success. Looking at the tide tables for Sunday, low tide was at 9:15 pm. I told Susan I’d be out there around 7 pm that evening. My next concern was finding a place to park, since Susan and her group had already left to go home. But I’d figure that out when I got there.

It was dark when I got there at 6:50 pm. I pulled in the driveway of the house and took a picture of it with the name, “Sea Wolf,” and sent it to Susan to let her know I was there. As I’m trying to figure out where to park, the cleaning crew was leaving. I explained what I was doing and was granted permission to park in the driveway. That problem solved. Made my way out on the beach and went through Susan’s text messages again to make sure I was in the right area. Up to this point, I was assuming the lost ring belonged to her husband. In her text she said that her son, Logan was the one who lost his yellow gold wedding ring 4 to 5 houses down from the house they were renting. So my plan was to go to the far side of the 6th house and work a grid back to the house they rented. I had just enough moon light to see my grid lines from dragging my sand scoop in the sand to keep me on track. I was working from the mid-tide line down to ankle/shin deep in the ocean. I passed the 5th, 4th, and 3rd houses with no luck, other than 2 pennies, 2 pull tabs and a tungsten ring that had been buried for quite a while. It was close to 9 pm and reaching dead low tide. As I was coming out of the water behind the 2nd house, I got a solid 16/17 on the Minelab Equinox 800 VDI (visual display indicator) and I knew I had Logan’s gold ring. After 4 days of sitting in the surf under the moving water and shifting sand, it took me a couple of scoops to get the ring out. Bingo. I sent a picture of the ring to Susan who sent it to Logan and he identified it. I got the ring in the mail on Monday and sent it on its way back home to Virginia with an estimated delivery date of today, Friday.

Susan – Thank you for contacting me to help find Logan’s ring.

Logan – So happy I could help find your ring and get it back where it belongs.

Jim
