LOST Platinum wedding ring (for 5 months) at Air BnB on Lake Gaston, NC….. FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

So got a text from the wife of a guy that lost his platinum wedding ring at an AirBnB last November, just as the cold weather started coming in, I told her that sadly, I was done with water hunting for the season and that I could do it in late spring/early summer depending on the AirBnB schedule.

So a couple of weeks ago, I texted her and said I could do now that temperatures are rising. She responded and said she’d have to contact the owner of the house and get back with me.

We worked out a date and time for Sunday after 10:15 when the family checks out. I make the drive, review last years pictures and jump in the water to start my search. About an hour went by and I finally see a silvery/Platinum ring in my scoop!

I get out, take some pictures and send it to her, asking if this was “the ring!” She quickly replied back, “OMG, YES!” I said “send me your address and I’ll send you guys the ring!”

I sent this platinum ring to MD and the received it! It’s back where it belongs!!

Lost Yellow Gold and Diamonds Hawaiian Style Ring in Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began yesterday when I got a call from Amy, who lives on Oahu.  While enjoying the day at Ulua Lagoon, her husband Jan was playing with the kids and tossing them up and out into the water.  One of the kids grabbed hold of Jan’s necklace, which had the ring on it and the necklace broke.  The ring went flying but in what direction and how far?  They were able to find the necklace but not the ring.  Jan had assumed the ring would be in the waist to chest deep water he had been standing in.  Knowing they were down in front of the umbrellas I told Amy I would hunt the next day.  I started the hunt on the Southern umbrella and worked North.  I concentrated on the waist to chest deep water.  Then after about 30 minutes as I was heading shoreward in ankle deep water I got a nice screaming tone on the Manticore and after two scoops I was surprised to see Jan’s awesome ring in the scoop.  I went back to my car and sent a pic to Amy as Jan was working in Waikiki.  Her response was « Oh my!!! You found it!!! »  I called and Amy said she would tell Jan and he could swing by my house which is 5 minutes from Waikiki, and pick up his ring after work.  Jan was stoked to be going home with his ring!  Aloha to Amy & Jan!

Lost Key Fob in the Snow in Edgewater Park NJ

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

This past winter kept me busy.

I had just gotten home & put away all of my detecting equipment from an earlier request when I received a call from Moise. While shoveling, he lost his keys & fob. I told him I could be there in about 30 minutes.

When I got there, he showed me where he was shoveling. There were some pretty high piles of snow. He went back into the house.

I got started. Within 5 minutes, I got a good signal. Dug down about 15 inches, and there were his keys. I knocked on the door and showed him his fob. He was amazed at how quickly I found them. He had been looking for hours.

I love my hobby!!

Lost Yellow Gold Wedding Band at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a call from Kaedan who was on a babymoon with his wife Holly from Dallas, Texas and stated that Aloha Security informed him that I was the Resort’s detectorist and if I could make it out to Ulua Lagoon to recover his Yellow Gold Wedding band from shallow water.  He told me it fell off his finger as he was catching a football.  I told him I could head his way in about an hour and Kaedan said he would meet me on the beach.  When I arrived, Kaedan hadn’t arrived so I started a grid search where he showed me in a FaceTime chat we had.  As I was coming back in from the first leg, I saw Kaedan walking towards me.  We discussed the search area and we widened the grid just to be sure.  As soon as my detector touched the water I found a Tungsten Wedding Band with three diamonds.  Well that’s a good sign!  I continued on.  During the hunt I found a Gold Hooped earring and a lead elephant head pendant.  As I was nearing the extreme edge of the grid I could see a look of hopelessness on Kaedan’s face.  Then, « BOOM » in thigh deep water I got a great tone and in one scoop there was the Gold Band.  A look of pure relief came over Kaedan’s face as I handed him his ring.  Babymoon saved!  Congrats & Aloha to Kaedan & Holly!

Sentimental Charm Necklace Found in Ocean City NJ Beach Sand by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)

Lost a ring in Ocean City NJ?
Call 215-850-0188
Visitors come to Ocean City to relax and create memories, but sometimes valuable jewelry disappears unexpectedly in the sand. That happened to Jim after spending time on the beach with family and friends. The next morning, he contacted ringfinderssouthjersey.com⁠ about a sentimental chain and charm he believed had fallen off during the previous day’s beach trip.
The necklace carried tremendous sentimental value because it had been given to him 10 years earlier. After returning home that evening, Jim noticed the necklace was no longer around his neck. He searched everywhere he could think of before realizing the beach was likely where it had been lost.
Time matters during beach recoveries. Ocean tides, beach cleaning equipment, and heavy foot traffic can all make locating jewelry increasingly difficult. After speaking with Jim and getting a detailed description of the area, I headed out with my metal detecting equipment to begin the search.
When searching for lost jewelry in beach sand, staying methodical is important. I carefully worked the target area using overlapping search patterns to ensure nothing would be missed. After a short time, my detector alerted me to a solid target beneath the sand.
Within moments, the sentimental necklace and charm were safely recovered.
Recoveries like this highlight why experience and quick response matter when searching for lost jewelry on New Jersey beaches. Thin chains and smaller charms can easily disappear beneath the sand and become impossible to spot visually. Professional metal detecting equipment greatly improves the chances of recovery.
Thankfully, Jim’s cherished necklace was returned safely, turning a stressful situation into a happy ending.
If you lose a ring, necklace, bracelet, or other jewelry in Ocean City, NJ, contact ringfinderssouthjersey.com⁠ for professional lost jewelry recovery services throughout South Jersey beaches.

Lost Yellow Gold and Diamond Wedding Band at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This Ring Find began when I got a text from Kyle who was on vacation from Vallejo, California and staying at the Aulani Resort.  While tossing a football he noticed his ring missing and assumed it had fallen off in neck deep high tide water.  Since it was high tide and getting late I told Kyle I would be there first light at the low tide to see if I could find his ring.  Kyle sent some excellent photos to help with the line up but no ring was found.  Then a gentlemen approached me for a Gold Chain recovery a bit farther down the beach,  but I didn’t find that either.  Probably scuba depth!  As I was heading back to my car,  thinking I had failed twice, Kyle came out to the beach.  He assured me that I had certainly covered the right area, but I decided to do a few more grid lines.  As I was returning to shore after that attempt I got a loud number 35 on the Manticore in calf deep water and there in my scoop was Kyle’s Wedding Ring.  It shocked the both of us.  I can only guess the ring was either hit by the football and got flung towards shore or that’s where it actually fell off and wasn’t noticed until much deeper water.  In any case Kyle was blessed with a return.  Aloha to Kyle!

I Phone lost in Lake Monroe, Florida…recovered by Central Florida ring finder.

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



The very best metal detecting service in Florida is theringfinders.com! We can help you with all your metal detecting needs and lost item recovery needs as well. My name is Mike McInroe and I am here to help you in your time of need…so call or text me anytime at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Nilesh was looking at some of the local wildlife along Lake Monroe here in Sanford, Florida and as he and his friends were admiring an alligator in the reeds…Nilesh felt some kind of bug land on his arm and he swatted at it causing him to drop his cell phone. Only his phone hit the concrete and bounced into the water below and disappeared. The water level is quite low this time of year so it is at least an 8 foot drop down to the water and then there is the water hyacinths and reeds and mud. It was getting late in the day when Nilesh called me and I opted to try and use my large Magnatar magnet but after an hour or so we decided to meet early the next morning so I could use my metal detector and do a proper search. I arrived the next morning with an extension ladder and poles to push the water hyacinths back so I could decend into the shallow murky water and 5 minutes later I got a good solid high signal on my Garrett ATMax metal detector and as I felt around with my scuba boot I could feel a flat smooth item the size of a cell phone and sure enough–there was Nilesh’s lost I phone.

It is always a pleasure helping find a lost item and being able to return it to it’s rightful owner! Call or text me if you have lost something and need help!

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 


Metal detecting service available to help you. Call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man . 949-500-2136,

*** Lost 4 silver rings near Califia Beach, San Clemente, CA. James contacted me after finding my phone number on a google search for metal detecting service.  We discussed his loss of 4 silver rings in the dry sand two days ago. He had put his 4 rings in his shoes near his beach towel. When he left the beach he just picked up his belongs and walked off the sand.

When he got to the street he checked his shoes for the rings and they were not in the shoes.

James had to work and could not meet me at the location. He marked up a google satellite view screen shot which was all I need to do a grid search.. The next morning I started where he had been sitting, no rings. Then I began a 6 grid line path to the street location where he realized the rings were missing. 60 to 70 yards away from where he had been sitting on the beach. All 4 of the rings were found in a two foot area..

I met James after he got off work to return his rings.. He was amazed that the metal detector was able to find small items. Also happy he didn’t have to miss a days work..

I can help you answer any question or search for your lost keepsake .. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.. Just call I will be glad to help you.. 949-500-2136

Man’s Wedding Band Launched from the 7th Floor Balcony Towards the Beach. Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Monday, May11, 2026, at 9:45 am, I got a call from Cory asking if I could help find his wedding band. I asked him when he lost it, whether in the water or soft sand, and if he was still in the area, He filled in the details for me, and I told him I could probably be there in an hour after I finished a couple of errands. I asked him to send me the address and that I’d text him when I was on my way. He text me the address of the hotel, I finished up my errands, and I text him that I was on my way.

When I arrived at about 10:40 am, I met Cory on the beach behind the hotel. I got a few more details on what happened and about where he lost his ring. Turns out, he lost it last night and there was a little alcohol involved, combined with a lover’s spat, and a heck of a throwing arm. He tossed the ring from the balcony on the 7th floor and said he thought it made it to the beach. He also said that he saw the beach cleaning truck go by about 5 am right over the area. The truck claws they drag in the sand usually don’t pick up rings but can pick up chains. I started an east west grid search from the hotel beach entrance and found nothing but bottle caps. I moved to inside the entrance and checked around the undergrowth and along the sand path. I finally hit a solid 10-11 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Cory said his ring was silver, so I was expecting a number in the low 20s. I was digging everything, so I dug the signal – Bingo!!! I picked the ring up, put it on just over my first knuckle and walked out to where Cory was. I held my finger up and asked, “Is this yours?” A huge smile appeared on his face, he said yes, I handed him his ring, and I got a big bear hug. Nothing beats returning someone’s treasure.

Cory and Nikki – I wish you all the best. Thanks for calling me!

Jim

Lost Eight Ring Stack at Waimanalo Beach Park…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a call from Ola from Texas who told me her friend Ashley from Michigan lost an eight ring stack in the dry sand at Waimanalo Beach Park.  I checked Google Maps and told Ola I could be there n about 30 minutes.  When I arrived, Ola hailed me from the top of the beach sand berm which was in view from the parking lot.  Ashley explained that her 8 rings were in the pocket of her shorts and as they changed locations on the beach at some point they must have fallen out.  I had the two of them draw in the sand an area that would cover everywhere they had been.  Thankfully, the area was fairly small.  Ola suggested I start on the far end from where we were standing so fired up the Manticore and proceeded towards that area.  On the way, I got a solid tone and there was ring #1.  I heard another target and scooped ring #2.  Ashley was very happy but we had six more to go.  I continued on the grid and about ten feet away detector overload.  Rings #3 through #8 were all in a clump together.  I let Ashley & Ola retrieve them from the scoop.  Two very happy young ladies.  We had a few laughs and hugs and you can see their joy in the picture above.  Aloha to Ashley & Ola!
