Lost White Gold Wedding Ring in Ponderay Lake….Found!!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

A Memorial Day vacation for Constantine and Silvana was winding down. All the fun filled activities planned for that weekend were almost completed. However, Constantine had one last challenge to attempt. He and his buddy wanted to do a cold plunge in the frigid waters of the Ponderay lake. Gritting his teeth as the cold-water bit into his feet, Constantine stepped quickly onto his paddle board. Then Constantine paddled out into about seven feet of water. After a few encouraging words from his family, he dove into the murky green water. As Constanine kicked off the board, the board floated quickly away from him. The shock of the ice-cold water gave Constantine a boost of energy, so he swam quickly to retrieve his board. Reaching for the edge of the paddle board, the wedding ring he was wearing left his finger and sank quickly into the lake. There was a video taken of Constanine during his cold plunge experiment. This gave me the confidence I needed when I showed up to search for his lost ring. I was told that the video showed him with and without the ring. Also, I got a forewarning for the ice-cold water. So, I brought all of my cold-water gear. The first few steps into the water gripped my ankles as the water made its way into my dive boots. The rest of my suit kept out the cold fingers of the winter snow runoff water. There was a distinct L shape Constanine made, while swimming around. I started at the very end of that L and made my way to where Constanine had jumped off and then climbed back onto the board. Each passing second seemed like an eternity to Silvana as she watched me searching. Silvana was probably playing the wedding over and over in her head because they had just gotten married two months before. The new wedding ring that Constanine had just started wearing, already held a lot of memories and sentiment to the both of them. At the very moment when hope was fading as I came close to the end of the L shape, I saw a very round shape sitting in the rocks. My first attempt to pick the ring up with the scoop failed. The water was just a little too deep, because as I tried to dive down, the buoyancy of my suit shot me back up to the surface. After failing twice, I collected myself and yelled to the crowd watching, “I found It!”. Their cheers put me back into the mindset I needed. My scoop was to my left sitting motionless. I grabbed it and went at the ring again. This time the ring fell gently into my scoop. As I passed my scoop up to Constantine, the whole dock worth of people where smiling and cheering. I have had a lot of scoops full that revealed a valuable item, but none of them felt as good as a successful ring find does. Blessings to you Constantine and Silvana, may God Bless your marriage and life together. Thank you for trusting The Ring Finders you two.

It was dark already when Rahm called about his lost phone. He and some friends when running around in the sand when he noticed that his phone had come out of his coat pocket. They looked all around for it, but were unable to find it. I let him know I would leave as soon as possible to help him find it.

When I got to the beach, it was very dark, and it took me a while to find Rahm. When I finally did, he took me out to the area where they had been running, and explained what he did to possibly lose the phone. I then turned on my detector, swung about 3 times, and found his phone! He had put me almost right on top of it! It was a quick find, which made for a happy recovery.

Man’s Tungsten Wedding Band Lost in the Soft Sand – Found and Returned Ocean Isle Beach NC

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

On May 26, 2026, just before 6 pm, I received a call from Olivia about a lost ring. She said her husband Tyler had put his Tungsten wedding ring in a bag along with some towels and kid toys. Throughout the course of the day, things were removed and replaced in the bag. They suspected that at some point his ring had been accidently pulled out of the bag and fallen in the soft sand. She also said they had been sitting in the upper part of the beach and left the beach around 4 pm. This would have been right at high tide. To complicate matters, we’re in the King tide cycle, meaning excessive high and low tides. Olivia also stated that the high tide had come in and covered the upper beach, including the rental house stairs to the beach. I told her the best thing would be for me to come out around 11 pm to ensure the tide had gone back out. She agreed and we hung up. Around 7 pm, Olivia called me back concerned that I might have too late of a night. So, I asked her how about 9 pm and she agreed.

I showed up at 9 at the address she had given me. Tyler and Olivia’s uncle met me in the driveway. We walked about a block down to the beach access and out on the beach. We walked about another 30 yards east and they showed me the suspected area. Tyler confirmed his ring was silver Tungsten. I turned my Equinox 800 on, took a step and hit a solid 20 on the VDI (visual display indicator), definitely in the Tungsten ring range. I took a shallow scoop of sand, dumped it on the beach and took my foot and spread it out. With my headlamp on, I could see the outside of sand around a round object. I reached down and pulled Tyler’s ring out, turned around and handed it to him. He and Olivia’s uncle were both caugt off guard and completely surprised. We walked back to their house, enjoyed some conversation with Olivia and then I was on my way.

Olivia and Tyler, thank you for calling and trusting me to help find Tyler’s treasure. Best to both of you!

Lost Family Heirloom Gold Found

  • from Bellingham (Washington, United States)
Contact:

A day at Lake Whatcom turned bad when this gal came home without her heirloom ring. They were swimming in Lake Whatcom in Sudden Valley but before going in for a dip she took off some  jewelry and put it on her towel. Then upon returning picked up the towel to dry off and her jewelry was strewn all over the grass. This happens quite often. Matter of fact, many of the calls I get are lost items that were removed because they were afraid of loosing it. My advice to people is if you’re going to remove jewelry, put it into a zippered pocket or container of some sort. The other thing to be aware of is if you lose something in the grass make sure you get back to the location before the grass is mowed. This will dramatically increase the odds of finding it. Thankfully it had not been mowed and the ring was right where she thought it was and I was able to make the recovery.

Lost ring

  • from Sarasota (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Received a call during a storm of a lost engagement ring in the water. Believed to be waist deep, slipped off her hand before the storms rolled in. When I got the first opportunity to go in, she walked ahead of me assuming it was further out. Just a few steps into the ocean, about knee deep, I hit the target in less than a couple of minutes. Quickest return as of yet! I always love to see the joy on people’s faces when we can find that lost item!

Lost — Men’s Silver Tungsten Wedding Ring, Daytona Beach, FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Keith early Sunday afternoon. He and his wife of less than a year, Kaylee, were enjoying Memorial Day weekend on Daytona Beach when a strong wave hit him in the surf. Instantly, he felt his wedding ring slip from his finger. He saw it briefly in the water and tried to grab it before another wave buried it beneath the sand.

I told him I’d head that way shortly. On the drive over, I said a prayer asking for guidance.

When I arrived, the conditions were rough. Strong waves, rising wind, and a hard northerly current made it difficult to stand in the waist-deep water. I fired up my Minelab Manticore and searched the area Keith described, but after several passes I decided to return Monday at low tide.

The next day I carefully gridded the exposed beach and searched north with the current, but still no ring.

On Tuesday, after another nearby search, I decided to give it one more try. When I arrived, Keith was there with a borrowed Nokta Triple Score detector. I gave him a quick tutorial and we both started searching.

A short time later, just south of the original area, I got a beautiful signal. Only a few inches down, after all the wind and pounding surf, was Keith’s wedding ring.

I held it up and shouted to Keith.

“No way!” he yelled as he ran toward me.

After three days, the ring was finally back home. Praise God

White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

This adventure started at 9:30 am on Memorial Day, 2026 when I received a text from Maureen saying, “Hi, is this the ring finder gentleman? She went on to say, “I apologize so much, I know it’s a holiday, but I was told the sooner I try to get help finding it the better.  We were in front of the Carolinian Beach Resort on 25th Ave in Myrtle Beach with some friends yesterday and I lost my wedding band. It’s just a straight band with 5 diamonds across. It was given to me by my husband by his mom to give to me and I’m just devastated. I’ve been out with my dad’s metal detector once, and we are going to try and go out with it again today. Do you think there’s any chance in a million of finding it?” I immediately called the number, and it went to voice mail, so I text her to call me. When she called, I asked her if she could meet me and told her I could be there in about 30-40 minutes. She agreed, and I told her I was on my way.

When I got there, I texted her and she responded their GPS said they were about 16 minutes out. I asked her if she could give me a location on the beach with some landmarks, which she did. Luckily the beach wasn’t crowded yet, but there was a family just getting ready to set up their spot and it was very close to where I needed to search. I explained what I was doing and asked nicely if I could check their area really quick. They agreed and I quickly went over the area and got a solid 26 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Well, the 26 told me the target was in the silver range. This was way outside the single digits I expected for a white gold wedding band, which was what Maureen’s wedding band was. I dug the target and found a ring, it was nice looking, but one of the cheap rings people buy at the beach shops for $10 bucks. I thanked the family and waited for Maureen, her husband Miguel and their children.

Maureen and her family showed up a short time later and met me on the beach. Maureen walked to the south side of the area where they had been sitting. She said that she had taken her rings off and put them under the strap of her swimming suit top to put sunscreen on her and the kids. After she was done, her engagement ring was there but the wedding band had fallen out. I turned the Equinox 800 back on and started a north/south grid. Within just a few minutes, I got a booming 6 on the VDI, Bingo!! This was exactly what I was expecting for her white gold ring. Took a scoop of sand, shook out the sand and saw her ring in the bottom of the scoop. I held the scoop out to her and let her pull her treasure out. She was so excited, and some tears started to flow. Perfect ending and another chapter to add to her ring story.

Maureen – Thank you so much for calling and trusting me to help find your precious ring, so glad I could help. I wish all the best to you and Miguel.

Metal Detecting Service finds lost ring in water, Crescent Beach, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Lost a ring or something special and need someone who specializes in using a metal detector to help? My name is Mike McInroe and I am a metal detector recovery specialist and can help you find what you thought was lost forever. Call or text me ASAP at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Ryan wrote, « I cannot say it well enough how incredibly grateful and impressed that Mike found my ring! I went on vacation with my family to Florida. We got to the beach and maybe five minutes in the water swimming, my ring gets pulled off my finger! It was a day they had the red flag warnings out and the currents were really strong and we were swimming in about 3-4 feet deep water. I was coming to the realization that I was likely never going to see it again.

I started thinking how can I find someone to help me locate it?? I joined a couple of metal detecting groups on Facebook hoping there was a guy in that area that would be willing to locate it for me but unfortunately they do not allow for people to ask for help in this way. Then I found this website link on Reddit called theringfinders.com. I go to the map and go to that location I was at and found Mike listed as the only one around. I got his number from the site, called him and left a voicemail and send sent him a text. I waited patiently for a reply back. Mike called me back shortly later that same day. He was super nice, asked what I was looking for and where I was and was very enthusiastic to help me out. I could tell from that phone call if anyone is going to be able to help it’s going to be this guy. He gave me details of how he would search the area, mapping the tides so he would hit it at the right time and I felt instantly confident that he would have the skill to find it if it was even possible.

I sent him what I thought was my location and he graciously goes out to look, for 5 and a half hours! He texts me back no luck on it and then sends pictures of where he was. I am looking at these pictures and I’m like I don’t think this is the right spot. So I show it to my wife and she confirms, no there was a different walkway. I sent him to the wrong spot!! The next day he chooses to skip church with his family to go out there for me and look again! Three and a half hours in and I get a text that he found my ring with the markings that I had described!!! INCREDIBLE!!! I was having a moment, I was mostly in shock that he was able to find it after it had been out there in the water for 3 DAYS!!!

He didn’t ask much in return, just enough to cover what he spent to go and then any reward I felt was appropriate for finding it and the value to me, but I made sure to give him as nice a reward as I could afford for all of the work and time that he spent for me. I still feel indebted to him! He promptly shipped it back to me along with a few very intriguing books that I am reading today as we speak. I am so appreciative of Mike and appreciate his time and grace and kindness in doing something like this for me, someone he doesn’t even know who is a complete stranger. What a guy!! He has allot to be proud of!! If you ever need assistance of this sort and you come across Mike McInroe, have confidence that if anybody can locate it, it’s going to be this guy!! WELL DONE MIKE!! »

Again I thank God for helping me find Ryans lost ring and for the opportunity to be a help and blessing to him and his young family in their time of need. How can I help you today? Call or text me and let’s talk!

Mike McInroe…grateful to be a member of theringfinders.com
