Lost Gold Ring Found In Southwest Detroit Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

When The Gloves Came Off….

….didn’t mean that Edward was ready for a down n dirty brawl, but rather he had just finished wrestling quite a few large diameter downed branches in the high humidity and temperatures today. When he took his work gloves off and sought the cool shadow of a tree he noticed his new wedding band missing. I turned on my MXT metal detector and started a grid search. As I swept the metal detector coil I observed the tall grass bend under the coil with each swing. The ground contained lots of iron and small pieces of foil. Finally I got a good signal in the range on the MXT meter where the ring should be. I used my pin-pointer to probe the grass and as I pulled some grass out of the way this very nice brushed finish gold ring reflected up at me! As I pointed at the ground and counted to 3, Edward ran fast from his corner of the yard and was thrilled that we succeeded in knocking this problem out. Now he was prepared to continue the upcoming sparring with the remaining branches and yard debris.

Lost Ring Cobourg Ontario…Found!

Received a text early this morning from Keelin. She and her friends went to a local beach in Cobourg Ontario for a late evening swim and camp fire by the shore of Lake Ontario. Fortunately for her, and the recovery of her ring, all the stars lined up as she specifically recalled feeling the ring slip off her finger and at what depth she was while in the water. Met up with Keelin and her dad first thing this morning, and ten minutes later found her ring within 20 feet from where she thought it was lost. Keelin’s fiancé currently lives in the UK and they haven’t seen each other since last January due to COVID. They are scheduled to get married this October, in the UK, and is extremely happy that she will be able to wear her lost and found engagement ring. Watch the video. Another happy ending!

Lost Men’s White Gold Wedding Ring – Corolla – Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)

I received a text from Brian at 5pm on Friday night.  He indicated that he had lost his ring on the beach, in the water, the previous Sunday.  His wife had been looking for someone to search for it and had just today found my information.  He was wondering if it would be worthwhile to look for it.  I told him that chances are slim due to some rough surf we had but I would try.

Brian and his wife were heading back home from their vacation, but he sent me a picture of the  home at the spot he had lost his ring.  As is my custom, I prayed before I began.  I started with a search parallel at the water continuing up to the dry sand.  Nothing!  then I did a vertical search of water to dry sand encompassing the house in the picture plus 50 yards on both sides.  Nothing.  Two hours had passed.

Just before I decide to give up, I prayed again and went to go middle of the house and a little bit deeper.  As I stood in about a foot of water, I saw sand and shells go by and then…a ring!  I put my coil on the ring to hold it just as another wave crashed in. (very rough surf due to the tropical storm off our coast). When the wave subsided…nothing!  I dug my scoop  the last place I saw the ring just as another wave crashed in.  I lifted the scoop up and found the ring!!

I texted Brian, « a miracle happened today! »  I sent him an image of the ring and said I hope it’s the right one.  He answered back, « Oh my gosh!!!  Yes that is it!!!

Update!!! Brian has his ring back! A man whom I’ve never met texted me and told me where he lost his ring six days prior…I found it!!! So happy to reunite Brian and his wife with their wedding bring

Lost Engagement Ring found at Colt State Park Rhode Island

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

I received a call on Tuesday, July 20th, from a nice couple, Francesca and Sharon.  They had only recently got engaged, and Sharon lost her engagement ring, a lovely antique ring, a few days earlier.  They were at Colt State Park for a day of fun.  While swimming, Sharon’s ring fell off in the water.  They searched for the ring for a few days but couldn’t find it.  That’s when they decided to look for help on the internet and found my profile on  TheRingFinders website, I went to the park the same day they contacted me, but I couldn’t get out far enough into the water as it was high tide.  I met Francesca at the park three days later when it was low tide to continue the search.  After two hours of searching, I located the ring.  Francesca was amazed that the ring was found after being in the ocean for five days. She couldn’t wait to put the engagement ring back on Sharon’s hand.

Lost Ring before Tropical Storm – FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

Yesterday morning as we were all preparing for the possibility of Tropical Storm Fred getting closer to us, I got a call. Deborah and her family were down from Birmingham to witness her son Thomas get married on the beach the day before. Everything went great but the young man who was kind enough to act as ring bearer got a little over zealous on his walk to the alter. Even though both rings were tied  to the pillow, somewhere between the boardwalk and the place where the bridal party were standing, the bride’s rose gold and diamond band disappeared. 😳  Luckily, Deborah reached out to me promptly and understood that we needed to find it quickly before those waves in the gulf got closer and closer. I was already in the area and agreed to meet Thomas for a debrief of where everyone was standing. I used my largest coil and was able to cover a lot of ground while Thomas ran back to his car for something. I think he was surprised to see that by the time he got back I was already taking pictures of the ring with the big seas in the background. He was thrilled to have his new bride’s ring back and quickly called his family to tell them the good news. Congratulations to you all. I’m very glad I was able to help make a great ending to a story I know you will tell for years to come. God Bless! 😃

Lost Men’s Gold Wedding Ring – Kitty Hawk – Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)

I got a call from Kristin at about 4:30.  She said that her husband had lost his gold ring, which was his late father’s ring, on the beach.  The tone of her voice indicated that she was very concerned.  I asked her the normal questions about if it was in the water and if she know about where it was lost.  She indicated that it was in dry sand and that they thought of buying a detector but the stores where out of stock.  I told her that I could be there in just a few minutes.

When I arrived they told me that the ring had been placed in a cupholder of the chair.  Kristin and Tim showed me where their chairs where before they picked them up.  I fired up the Minelab and in just a few sweeps had a great hit.  It was the ring.

Another happy family.

Lost White Gold Ring Underwater Found On Harsens Island Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Dad’s Island Gold…

….As Nate and his family steered their watercraft towards a quiet and relaxing island, rough waters had them veer off course towards a dock that was reachable. As Nate roped off the boat and stepped off onto the dock his ring slipped off. On site this morning calmer water greeted us. The path from shore to the suspected location led us over slippery rocks but eventually we felt nice firm sand beneath our feet. At a depth of 4 feet or so I started to metal detect a grid search area. Looking thru my scuba snorkel mask I could easily see the metal detector coil as I searched, along with a few mollusks attached to the dock piers and mossy rocks. I was surprised that I didn’t get any junk metal signals by the dock. A few more coil sweeps and I got a good signal. Taking a deep breath, submerging to about 5 feet and reaching into the sand with my pin-pointer revealed this nice white gold ring! As I came up thru the water and surfaced, Nate was excitedly watching as I held his ring into the air! Moving to shallower water, he immediately put it back on, closed his fist and headed for his camera!, along with saying how thankful he was that his ring would not be a permanent resident on the island.
