This Tungsten wedding ring was lost in the dry sand during a surfing event recently at the Oceanside harbor. Fortunately I live nearby & Was able to meet him there & recover his ring within an hour of being called to find it.
He was stoked I could help,, As you can see this ring meant a lot more than metal to him being sentimental jewelry. I’m glad he found my contact info online as I always see at least a couple local hobby detectorist’s on the weekends there including YouTubers!

It’s always rewarding to help someone turn a stressful moment into a happy memory , especially when it happens in a beautiful place like Thornbury , Ontario.
We recently got a call from a couple visiting all the way from Switzerland. They were staying at a lakefront home, enjoying some well-deserved time by the water. While applying sunscreen at the beach, she had taken off her rings and slipped them into her pocket — but as many of us know, that’s often how these little treasures go missing.
Later, while sitting at the beach, she noticed one of the rings glinting in the sand. Relief quickly turned to panic when she realized there were supposed to be three — and one was still missing.
They searched everywhere but couldn’t find it. That’s when we got the call.
After a three-hour drive to Thornbury, we arrived with our metal detecting gear and got to work. Thankfully, it didn’t take long — within minutes, we located the missing ring buried in the sand, not far from where they had been searching.
The look of relief on their faces made the drive more than worth it. It’s a great reminder that even when something feels lost for good, the right tools and a little experience can bring it back.
It’s amazing how quickly a special moment can turn stressful — and how quickly a little determination can turn it back around.
A few days ago, I got called to help with a tricky recovery at the marina. A young woman had been walking along the dock when she tripped and fell. Thankfully, she wasn’t hurt — but in the process, her very special bracelet came off her wrist and fell straight through the cracks of the dock, disappearing into the water below.
The bracelet wasn’t just jewelry ,it had sentimental value and a recent gift that couldn’t be replaced .
The conditions weren’t exactly ideal. Poor visibility, tight spaces under the dock, and plenty of weeds made the search feel nearly impossible. But with my metal detector and a lot of patience, I got to work.
After carefully scanning the area and navigating the tangle of weeds and debris, I finally got a good signal. A little digging, a lot of feeling around and there it was. Her bracelet, still intact and ready to be reunited with its owner.
The relief and gratitude on her face made every second worth it.
It’s a reminder that even in tough conditions, with the right tools and a little persistence, some things really can be found again.


What started as a relaxing day on the water almost turned into a heartbreaking memory for one couple — but thanks to a bit of determination and the right tools, the story had a happy ending.
The couple had been enjoying the summer sun, swimming off the back of their boat while docked. As the boyfriend helped his girlfriend out of the water, disaster struck — his ring slipped off his finger and disappeared into the water below.
That’s when I got the call.
As a diver with a metal detector, I’ve seen my fair share of tricky recoveries, but this one was a challenge. Poor visibility, thick weeds, and murky water made the search feel almost impossible. But I wasn’t about to give up.
After methodically sweeping the area with my detector, a faint signal came through. I carefully reached down through the weeds and muck — and there it was. The ring, still intact, glinting faintly beneath the water.
The look of relief and excitement on their faces made it all worth it. Another successful recovery, another great story, and a reminder that sometimes, even when things seem lost, they’re not gone for good.

Colin and his family were enjoying a sunny vacation in Sea Isle City, NJ. Like many beachgoers, they spent the day relaxing, swimming, and playing in the sand. Before heading out to the beach, Colin applied sunscreen and tied his wedding ring to the drawstring of his bathing suit. It seemed like a safe spot at the time.
The day flew by with fun and sun. Colin had completely forgotten where he’d placed his ring. Later that evening, while out to dinner with his family, he remembered. He reached down to untie the ring and realized—it was gone. His heart sank.
Everyone at the table felt the shock. Colin shared the story with a few people nearby. Someone overheard and suggested he contact Ring Finders South Jersey. They said, “You need The Sea Isle City Ring Finder! He’s helped a lot of people recover lost jewelry.”
Colin reached out the very next day.
When he called me, I could hear the worry in his voice. His wedding ring held deep sentimental value. He gave me a general idea of where they had been on the beach. Though Colin had already left Sea Isle City to head home, he was hopeful the ring could still be found.
I headed out that same day with my gear. As a local expert in Sea Isle City metal detector searches, I know the beaches well. I began by gridding off the area he described, working slowly and methodically. I scanned every section carefully, checking signals and removing trash to get better readings.
After about an hour of searching, I heard a clean, solid tone. I dug carefully—and there it was. A beautiful gold wedding band buried just a few inches under the sand.
Success!
Since Colin had already left town, I met up with his sister, who was still in Sea Isle City. I returned the ring to her, and she promised to deliver it back to Colin. The look on her face said it all—relief, joy, and disbelief that it had actually been found.
It’s moments like these that make this job so rewarding. Helping someone recover a treasured item they thought was lost forever is incredibly meaningful.

This ring find began as I was just finishing up taking a shower after a successful hunt at Nai’a Lagoon when a young lady asked if I could find a wedding ring? I asked, Did you lose one? and she pointed and said, « No, my friend Carlos did in the lagoon. » I asked Carlos if if could describe the ring? Yes, he did exactly and I handed him his Titanium & Gold wedding band. Everyone was in shock and started asking questions like where & when & how. After a few handshakes and hugs we went back to my car to get a pic for Aloha Security. Vacation saved! Aloha to Carlos & friends!

Just before 7 p.m. on July 4th I got a text saying, “Hi, we lost a ring on the beach at Debordieu (a gated community north of Georgetown, SC). Do you still do metal detecting services?” I immediately called the number attached to the text and talked with Rick. I got a few more details and told Rick it’d take me a little over an hour but was on my way.
When I arrived, Rick had called the gate guard and let him know I was coming, so I had no problem getting through. I met Rick along the way, parked and he led me out to the spot on the beach. They had left the tent up to mark the area. I was told that Rick’s wife Candy had put the ring in her top and when she stood up to get out of the beach chair, the ring fell out. I looked at Rick and his son-in-law Josh, and said “What do you think, maybe a minute?” I turned on the machine, took about 3 steps and hit a solid 6 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Bingo! I took a small scoop of sand and gently shook it out of the scoop. Looked in the scoop and there was Candy’s beautiful ring. We drove back to Rick’s house, and I got to meet Candy who already had her ring back on. Very happy lady!!!
Josh – Thank you for finding me on Google.
Rick and Candy – Thank you for allowing me to help find your ring. Enjoy your vacation!
