Lost Gold Engagement Ring Recovered, Cherry Beach, Lakeside Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)

9/14/25 Cherry Beach, Lakeside Michigan (Lake Michigan)

Hannah was enjoying the fantastic mid-September day at a nice little beach, here in SW Michigan. Sun out, 80 degrees, calm East breeze, water still over 70 degrees, excellent for this time of year.
All was well, she nestled her engagement ring in her T-shirt, on her beach towel, so not to risk losing it in the water. However, when it was time to go, she gathered things up, flipped the towel, having forgot about her hidden treasure.
Out flew the two month old ring, into the dry sand, somewhere nearby.
She tried scouring around, looking with no luck. She tested some rocks, dropped on the sand, only to see that they quickly vanish upon landing in the soft sand.
I was at another beach, preparing to go detecting in the water, moments away from heading out, when I heard my phone alert. Opted to check that and it was Hannah asking if I’d be available to hire.
Shifted gears, drove up the coast 15 minutes and headed out on the dry sand to where she thought she had been. With a little help from a nice lady who overheard us talking, she said Hannah had been about 20 feet further North. Within about ten seconds, got a nice signal, deployed the pinpointer and quickly observed a ring show itself for a brief moment. Reached down and had her nice ring, ready to go back where it belonged.

Belmont, Dennis Port, MA Lost Ring Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

September 11, 2025:
On August 18th Joey and his two little “ducklings” were frolicking around the waters edge when what so often happens, a wedding ring slipped off a finger into the shallow water of Nantucket Sound. Joey, the ducklings and other family members searched for the next two days before heir vacation time came to an end and they had to leave, abandoning their search and the ring in the sand. 3 weeks later Tana, Joey’s mother, came to the Cape for a visit. Over the next two weeks she, other family members and friends continued to search the area in hopes of reuniting the ring with its owner. That was not to be.

Joey’s mother, still had a few extra days before having to leave the Cape. During the time she and several of her friends brought up the subject of the missing ring and one friend offered up the information of TheRingFinders.com. As other suggestions had failed, Tana reached out to me for help.

I was a bit stressed out about my situation of buying and selling a house, and would have to fit in time for a recovery search. A look at the tide chart and I could fit a couple of hours in at 7AM the next morning. All was set until my Realtor and I finished up our afternoon commitments and I could make a search just before the evening tide. It was possible for Tana to meet me a the beach and I was on the way.

With my detector and scoop in hand, Tana and I walked to the area that the ring was lost at. The most likely area of the loss was pointed out to me: lifeguard chair, either side about 10 feet and straight down, into the water and out to no more than knee deep. An hour of searching and not one good signal, Then a solid signal from my detector that did not sound like a gold ring should but I had to dig it anyway. As I thought, it was not a ring but a toy truck. By this time I had widen the area I was searching. The sun had set and in the dark it was difficult to keep a tight grid pattern. It was time to call it quits until the morning’s tide.

Just before leaving the water’s edge I took one more look at the pictures Tana had shown me. There was one picture that showed nice flat sandy area with the two “ducklings” playing on it. I looked to the west into an area I had not searched yet and saw the exact same conditions, it was a bit further west than I had been told where the ring was lost. “One more pass” I told Tana, took two steps and got a signal. “Tana, your son’s ring is right there“… with nothing but wet sand for Tana to look at, I took one scoop of sand turned it over on the dryer sand. A after a couple of passing of Tana’s hand through the mound of sand, it came into view, yes, there was her son’s ring.

Pictures, information and a few metal detecting stories passed away a few more minutes before we parted with a promise to exchange the photos we had taken. One was for me to learn how to turn on my camera’s flash function. And another to have Joey leave his ring in a safe place in the

future when he visits the beach. Unfortunately it would still be a few days before the ring will be returned to Joey. I hope to meet Joey on his next trip to the shores of Cape Cod to get a photo of him with a smile and holding his ring.

Gold Wedding Ring Lost in the Sand at Manhattan Beach…Found and Happily Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

Steve’s Emergency Metal Detecting Service if you lost a ring or something precious to you. Please don’t wait until tomorrow, time will work against you, PLEASE CALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!  310-953-5268

It was around 5:30 PM, and my wife was preparing our dinner when I received a call from Chris. He had Just lost his wedding ring about 30 minutes ago while throwing a football to his friend, and was unable to find it. He was wondering if I would be able to help. I let him know that I could be there in about 30 -40 minutes to do the search so I asked my wife to put the meal on hold, and left for the beach to help Chris.

When I got there it didn’t take long to find them, and Chris’ buddy took me over to show me where the loss occurred. Chris came over to show me exactly what he had done to cause the loss. and I readied my equipment to begin the search. I searched the whole area in a tight grid with no results for his ring. I did find a ring though, and a couple of earrings, some coins and a lot of trash metal. I then worked out of the box, and widened the search area in order to cover any possibility; still no ring. I then told Chris I was going to do a cross grid in order to make sure that maybe the ring was turned in such a way, it wasn’t heard by my detector going in the other direction. After about 5 passes, I received a solid signal, dug and had his ring in the scoop. I brought it over to him to his surprise, and happiness. Sometimes a ring will go into the sand a such an angle that it is indiscernible going in one direction, you have to search at a right angle to the original direction to make the find. Just a little patience and determination is what it takes. It was about 8:00 PM when the recovery was made. So I got on the phone, and asked my wife to heat up our dinner, as I would be home soon. I am glad she is so understanding.

 

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again.

Lost Diamond Earring, North Vancouver…Found

Lost your Ring/Jewellery/Cell Phone/Keys… A Trusted Service Since 1987- Call ASAP Chris 778-838-3463   24/7 Service

I received a call in regards to a lost diamond earring in a park, after asking a few questions it sounded like we’d have success finding this as long as someone else didn’t beat us to it.

I blasted off to the location and met the ladies husband who showed me the precise area where she believed the earring had come off  due to her granddaughter accidentally pulling it off while she was holding her.

I did my first passover of the area with no success. I cross grid and still no success. The young man called his wife, I could hear him disappointed thinking it wasn’t there, but this is a very small item and you have to be patient. It took about 10 minutes and I found her beautiful diamond earring.

I understand Metal Detecting because I’ve been doing it for over 50 years. Miss it by an inch miss it by a mile, you gotta go low and slow, and you have to exhaust the area. It was so nice to see his smile and hear the story of what that earring meant to his wife. I love my job.

Lost Gold Claddagh Wedding Band at Castle Beach Kailua…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began late last night when I got a text from Matthew from Kailua.  Since the yellow Gold Claddagh Wedding Ring was in the dry sand I called Matthew in order to meet up first thing the next morning as that beach gets detected heavily.  We agreed to meet at Matthew’s home then put the gear in his vehicle so parking wouldn’t be an issue.  Matthew told me he had put his ring in his shirt pocket so he wouldn’t lose it in the water swimming.  He didn’t notice it missing until he arrived home and realized it had fallen out of the pocket.  When we arrived on the scene, Matthew drew a grid for me in the sand to hunt.  Turned on the Manticore, noise cancelled, then started the hunt.  First target « BOOM »  Matthew’s ring.  Elapsed time 15 seconds.  Aloha to Matthew and his son Thomas.

Lost Tungsten Wedding Ring in the Grass, Spokane Valley WA…Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Milo had started a walk with his two dogs. Nurture called for one of them as the other took off into the field of the school. Keeping his eyes on the second dog, Milo had retrieved a doodoo bag from his pocket. While picking up the dog’s deposit, the ring Milo had placed in his pocket took a swan dive into the grass. There was now a void in his pocket where the ring had been sitting. Milo being constantly aware of the item in his pocket felt this void. The fun was over for the trio. Milo had a new mission. Finding his wedding ring was now on the agenda. After combing the grass with the search pattern, he learned in boy scouts, the ring eluded his eyes. Although the eyes can’t see the ring, the metal detector knows it’s there. Milo knew what he needed to do. Calling a Ring Finder was the solution to his problem. With almost an hour drive away from the ring, I got ready and headed to the school. There was little time wasted when we met up and went over how the ring was lost. I inquired about where he pulled the bag out of his pocket. Milo put me on the path he walked. Just as I passed by the ring, Milo told me to turn around and check the far edge of the path. This 180-degree turn put me right on top of the ring. The detector lit up with a 16 signal and it showed one arrow of depth. I knew the ring would fall in the 12-20 range because I had tested out 4 of the rings I have, before I started his ring search. My pin pointer buzzed in the patch of grass and Milo and I, pulled back the blades to reveal his ring. With the quick search over in a blink of an eye, the ring Milo had lost had found its way back to his hand. The paths we take may be long and full of challenges but when you find a friend to help you out, no problem you encounter will stop your trip.

Oh Snap! We’re in a Pickle Here….

Exclaimed Dan to his wife when he noticed his ring missing as they were pulling weeds in their vegetable garden. The weeds were being thrown in every direction, so Dan stressfully said he didn’t know what direction the ring went. I started metal detecting farther out near the fence then started to work my way in towards the garden while Dan paced back and forth. Swinging the metal detector coil over the vegetables I got a familiar signal and meter reading. Pin-pointing with my Garrett carrot I moved some dirt aside and asked Daniel, hey how did 14 karats get down here? He said, what? and came running over. Reaching down he had a nice smile planted on his face and said that I really knew how to root out a problem while remaining cool as a cucumber! I answered,,,keep calm and karat on!

Fast-Forwarding……

From the summer of 2024 to summer of 2025, Austin found it hard to believe that the year had passed so quickly. While him and the family enjoyed the new house, it was time to move again but around a year ago his wedding ring went missing. With 2 weeks left to vacate the house he often paused-rewound-replayed the events over the last year musing over where it may be. When I arrived, he had 2 locations he had a good vibe about. One was in an area where he was picking up the children’s toys for the winter and the other was in the neighbor’s yard while he was helping them install rabbit fence around a garden. I selected Track 1- « toys » and started grid searching with my MXT metal detector but all I heard was hissing/popping/crackle sounds thru my headphones from bad ground. Selecting Track 2 « rabbit fence » I started to metal detect the area and got a sweet-sounding tone thru the headphones. Digging down an inch revealed that the sweet melodious tune I heard was from Austin’s tungsten ring! As he reached down to pick up the ring, he was thrilled that we cued up the right track and it wasn’t just his imagination.

Barking Up the Wrong Tree…..

While Josh was walking his dogs down a trail, the dog leashed to his right hand bolted after a squirrel that zoomed across the trail. Taken by surprise, the force pulled Josh’s balance off and he fell to the ground. The leash came off his wrist and the dog raced to the tree jumping up and down convinced the squirrel was still around. Meanwhile, Josh managed to get to his feet and got control over the other dog who wanted in on the action. Finally, the 3 of them continued on the trail. A few hundred feet was travelled when Josh noticed his ring missing. Going back to the area where the melee occurred, he couldn’t see his ring, and with dusk setting in they went back to the car. I started a grid search with my MXT metal detector where Josh remembered the incident had taken place. Checking both sides of the trail revealed nothing but as I got near the base of the tree, I got a good signal, and by the sound and meter number could only mean on thing,,,,Josh’s ring! When he reached down and picked it up, we recalled how bummed out the dog must have felt about not getting the squirrel, but Josh was seriously happy that we were on the right trail and got to the root of the real matter!
