…Dana called me asking for help to find her husband’s wedding ring. They had been at Belmont Shores in Long Beach, CA. Her husband, Sean made a jester with his hand and his tungsten wedding ring flew off his finger into the sand.
They searched for a couple hours unable to find the ring. Later evening Dana texted me asking if this was anything that I could help her with? I reached out to her the next morning agreeing to meet them at the beach at 10:00 am.
Both Dana and Sean were present to guide me the general location. This was another fairly quick recovery because they got a hold of me soon after the loss and they were able to get me in the general location. Doing a grid search of an area can be tedious. If there is not many trash metal objects, I usually can do a basketball size area in a little more than an hour.
We were fortunate that this search was short. Dana and Sean were very happy and surprised to get the ring recovered as they had already thought it was lost forever.

Just before lunchtime on Saturday (March 19th, 2022), I received a call from Daniel stating that he had lost his white gold wedding band two days prior while laying hay and seed in his front and back yard. He normally wears a silicone wedding band, but he let his daughter play with it and it came up missing. The ring that was lost while doing the yardwork was actually passed down from his great grandfather and had been in the family for more than 80 years! Daniel was disappointed about losing the wedding band and really wanted it back, so that it could continue on in his family. Daniel had tried looking with an older Garrett metal detector, but realized that it couldn’t detect white gold when he scanned his wife’s wedding ring.
When I received Daniel’s call, I was about to have a quick bite to eat and go metal detecting with a friend. I’m always happy to help someone look for a lost item and prefer that over a hobby hunt any day! I made a quick change of plans. I ate, grabbed some extra gear I might need for the search, and was on my way to Mount Olive, Alabama!
I met Daniel and he showed me the area in the front yard where he was laying the hay and seed. I started searching the hay area with my Minelab Equinox 800. The first two targets I checked ended up being trash or too deep. The next signal I had was lower on the ID scale, but came in shallow and had a solid target tone. I bent down to check it, scraped away some of the hay, and spotted a ring! Daniel hadn’t noticed, because he was nervously pacing. I said, “hey Daniel, I think we got it!” He came over and said, “that’s it!” Pure happiness, relief, and the moment every Ring Finder loves!
Daniel called his mom, Paula, to tell her the good news. She arrived shortly after and gave me a big hug and thank you! Paula told me that she knew about The Ring Finders, because she had actually witnessed Ring Finder, Allen Zenker, recover a ring from the ocean in Sanibel Island, Florida. So, when Daniel called her and said that he had lost his ring, she knew exactly where to turn!
I praise God for another successful ring recovery! I’m so happy that this heirloom wedding band gets to remain in the family and continue on its story. Proud to be a member of The Ring Finders, and looking forward to the next adventure…

This necklace hunt began when I got a call from Makana. While enjoying the day at Bellow’s Beach on Oahu’s East Shore Makana picked up a beach chair and carried it to a new location. Unbeknownst to him his girlfriend Makana…Yes both are named Makana! had placed the Gold Necklace in the chair’s puka and when it was moved and shaken of sand the Gold Necklace disappeared. The family members combed and raked the sand but the Gold Necklace was never found and that’s when they reached out to me. Ironically, I was heading in that direction to drop off my detecting buddy Terry so I told Makana I’d swing by and see what I could do. Makana was waiting on the roadside and saved a parking spot for me. We headed down to the beach and Makana introduced me to his family members. I could see the sand had been moved around quite thoroughly so the grid was pretty much known. I fired up the Nox and started my grid search. The beach was clean but the first target was a piece of aluminum. Then I got a very unusual tone and dug a lead fishing weight but that wasn’t what I heard. Sure enough there was a nice #3 still on that spot and in one gentle scoop there was Makana’s Gold Necklace dangling from my scoop. I heard a few sighs of relief and I handed the necklace to the nearest family member. Everyone was very appreciative and gave thanks. Aloha smiles for Makana & Makana!

*** Stephanie and her family spent Saturday at Crystal Cove State Beach, Newport Beach, CA. While they were there Stephanie’s Platinum Diamond ring came off her finger while throwing g ball. The ring disappeared immediately in the soft sand.
The next morning her husband returned the the location with a metal detector. His attempts to find the ring failed. Monday morning Stephanie located me using a online search. She told me what happened and what beach. Even though it had been several days. She gave me very good directions and had left a marker straight in-line with where the loss happened. I felt we had a good chance to find the ring without either of them having to leave work to guide me.
I drove about 5 miles to the beach parked and walked about a block where I saw the marker. I also checked my phone messages to see photos that she had sent. Location confirmed, I began a grid search with my metal detector. A few minutes later I got a good signal and the ring was in my sand scoop.
I sent her a photo of the ring and she replied with a phone call soon after. We met at a location convenient for both of us where I was able return her ring. You can see from the photo that Stephanie was a happy lady.
Ethan found us through ring finders after searching his best. He called me around 10:30 am and was flying out of town at 3pm. He gave me some details and my boy and I headed off. Ethan was loading some spring clean up into the truck and saw his late fathers gold wedding band that he himself used in his wedding 3 years ago was not on his finger. He did a great job explaining everything to us. We figured it should be a quick job. Ha, 45 minutes later we were dumb founded as to where it could be. Well 5 minutes later I wandered to where the truck was parked in the garage, concrete full of rebar and started the fun of watching for signals in-between rebar blasts. Boom 57 on the AT Max, it had landed in a crack between the garage concrete and the drive concrete and was covered by dirt and debris. I carefully extracted it and my boys will never forget his genuine smile as I presented it to him.

This past Saturday my wife and I went over to Biloxi for the day to celebrate her birthday. On the way back we must have seen over 100 cars with Texas tags. My wife said, “oh look, there’s another one of your Texas A&M friends headed to the beach”. I smiled and said that I hoped they had their rings on tight. For those that don’t know, I have a special place in my heart for the Aggies and over the years I have helped quite a few get their lost rings back. They have always been really nice and I have learned a bit about their rings and the stories behind them in the process. Sure enough, I got a call Sunday night from Erica who was down for the week with her Aggie friends in Gulf Shores. AL. She believed that while they were throwing a football back and forth her ring must have come off in the sand. Luckily I was in that area for work the next day and I told her I would come take a look over the lunch hour. She didn’t know exactly where it might be so I quickly started gridding out a large area and apologizing to people that I was getting in the way of. Erica is a senior and she is becoming a nurse and committed to the Air Force. As I went back and forth I thought about how she really deserved to get her ring back. I’m glad that the Man upstairs agreed with me because after about 40 mins of searching I got a strong gold tone. It was already a bit deeper than I expected with the wind blown sand but I was able to gently recover it and give it back to a very happy Erica while her friends looked on. Erica, I truly wish you all the best in your future endeavors and thank you for your future service.


*** Jackie and her husband took a walk on a Southern California beach. It was just after a storm and there was a 6 foot embankment that had to be climbed to get off the beach. As Jackie was struggling to get to the top of the slope her wedding ring slipped off her finger. She was fortunate to feel the ring leave her finger.
They tried to locate it by dragging their hands trough the sand. A passerby told them about TheRingFinders metal detecting directory. They called me, giving me their location and I was able to meet them on the beach within a half hour.
I met them on the beach, set up my metal detector and began a grid search. Within a few minutes the ring was found and returned to Jackie. Another successful search and recovery because they contacted me in a timely manner and they were able to stay at the location to put me in the general location.


This ring find began when I got a call from Chad who lives on Oahu and was spending the day at Ala Moana Beach Park with his wife Belinda and their three children. When the family went to pick up their beach blanket they realized Belinda’s Wedding & Engagement Rings must have fallen into the sand. They immediately began a search of the dry sand and others around them pitched in to help but the soft sand consumed the rings and they were devastated they couldn’t be found. A passerby told Chad to, « Call Joe from the Ring Finders » He should be able to find them. The passerby also warned them to stop digging as that could make the situation worse. I told Chad I’d grab my gear and be there in about 15-20 minutes. He alerted me there was no parking but we’d figure it out when I arrived. When I arrived the father-in-law watched my illegally parked car while I did a quick hunt for the rings. Both turned out well as I found the rings as the first & second target and my car wasn’t ticketed during the quick search. Double blessing and Aloha to Belinda & Chad!

I received a call from Camelle requesting my help to find a sentimental ring lost in the sand at Will Rodgers State Beach, Pacific Palisades, CA… I met her and her father before they left the beach. The search was not too difficult because they had contacted me soon after she discovered the ring missing. After they showed me a 100 ft. square area, I was able to locate the ring in less than a half hour.
Sand can be unforgiving to search without proper tools. The good thing is that sand is a good hiding place that prevents a random person find a valuable keepsake. There are many good people that would return an item but most the time they can’t find the owner.
It was so rewarding to see the smile and the gratitude that Camelle showed me. Both her and her father were relieved to have this sentimental ring back where it belongs.
