**** I was called to help Ella find her engagement ring that she thought may have been lost at Laguna Beach, CA.

Ella and her fiancé had been staying at a hotel on the beachfront. The weather had been a bit chilly, keeping people off the beach. Ella regularly works out with a hula hoop, so she thought it would be nice to work out on the beach with her hula hoop. She was sure her engagement ring was on before walking to the beach. After returning to the room she discovered her heirloom engagement ring was missing. The situation involved walking to and from the beach plus an hour and a half of walking two or three blocks at waterline of the beach.

I met her shortly after she called me. We were fortunate that the tide was receding. It was going to be raining so I came prepared with rain gear. We were not quite sure that the ring had been lost at the beach area, but that was where she did the most physical activity. I told Ella that if the ring was there, I could find it. If it didn’t show up we can eliminate that area, so she can check the other locations she had been.

Ella couldn’t stay, which was a good thing. I knew that this was going to be a long search. After three and a half hours, there was just a small area remaining. I was already trying to think of what I would text Ella. Then I got a strong signal that turned out to be Ella’s ring. I was surprised and happy that I could send a successful recovery text with a photo of the ring. 

She replied right away saying she had given up hope and had figured I didn’t stay to search in the rain. We met two days later when she had time to pick up the ring. This was my first hula hoop ring loss and recovery. What’s next?

Lost White Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Nanakuli Beach Park…FOUND!!!

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


This ring find began when I got a call from Lexi who lives in Kapolei and hails from Marietta, Georgia. After returning from the water at Nanakuli Beach Park Lexi picked up her towel to dry off and then realized she had placed her White Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring on the towel before she entered the ocean. A thorough visual search of the dry sand area and the ring was hopelessly gone. I told Lexi I’d grab my gear and head that way but Google maps was showing a 30 minute delay due to freeway construction. She assured me she wasn’t going anywhere and that her father was in route to help her watch her baby daughter. I’ve only hunted this beach one other time years ago so Lexi waved me down from the parking lot as I drove by. When we got down to the beach she drew a box in the sand where she thought the ring would be and possibly where her current beach blanket was. I fired up the Nox and as I approached the beach blanket I got a nice #8 under the blanket. Lexi moved the blanket away and since diamonds were involved I grabbed my pinpointer and plunged it into the sand and got an immediate tone. I reached for the tip of the probe and could feel Lexi’s ring at the tip. As the ring broke the surface Lexi shouted, « That’s it! I can’t believe you found it so quick. » Nice easy search! Aloha to Lexi, Daughter and Dad!

Custom platinum wedding ring found in Denver yard

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Tom and Jamie were shoveling snow from our recent record snow storm from the sidewalk that goes from their back door to their garage. Jamie decided that this was the perfect time to make a snow angel. After getting up from the snow Jamie shook the snow from her arms and hands. In doing such Jamie’s wedding ring went flying off her hand and it disappeared into the snow with no indication on where it went. They tried a brief search for her ring but then realized that they needed some help that is when they found my profile on TheRingFinders.com.

Tom sent me a text message asking if there was a possibility that I could help them. We made arrangements to talk via phone after he was done with work. During that conversation I learned of the circumstances of the loss of the ring and I agreed to come search. I prepped my gear and headed out the door. After arriving at Tom and Jamie’s house Tom showed me the search location. I grabbed my Garrett Apex, made some adjustments due to heavy EMI and began my search. Within seconds of starting my search I received a signal that was promising, I pinpointed the target, removed a bit of snow and there was Jamie’s ring. Jamie’s ring is a custom made platinum ring set with stones from heirloom rings.

Heirloom ring recovered from Lakewood back yard

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

On the weekend of March 13/14 the Denver area received it’s largest snow fall in 18 years with some areas receiving as much as three feet of snow. On the following Monday Dana was talking on the phone with a friend and they decided to compare snow depths. Dana actually grabbed a tape measure and headed to their back patio to measure the snow that had accumulated on top of their trash cans. In doing this Dana’s hand that had her great-great (maybe one more great) grand father’s wedding band on came in contact with the snow. In shaking the snow off her hand, the ring went flying off and into the snow. She didn’t hear the ring hit anything due to the snows depth and she couldn’t see any hole in the snow to give indication of the ring’s location. Dana and her husband started filling plastic tote containers full of snow and taking them to their bathtub to melt to see if they could find the ring. After several totes with no ring and not a lot of snow left in the immediate area they needed to try something different that is when Dana found my profile on Theringfinders.com and she called me.

Dana called a little after 4:00 PM and explained her situation. I thought there would be just enough time for me to drive to her house and perform a search. I am co-host of Relic Roundup a live talk show podcast about treasure hunting ever Monday night, we go live on air at 7:00 PM. So with getting my gear together, the drive would normally take a half hour but I wasn’t sure of road conditions (remember a near record snowstorm just occurred) a search and then return home. It was going to be tight but I had to do the search.

I arrived at their condo and we talked about the events that lead to the rings loss. Dana, her husband and I moved some metallic items out of the search area and I began my search. I grabbed one of my detectors that I typically use for ring searches and began swinging. But due to underground electrical cables, yard edging and other interferences that machine wasn’t going to get the job done. I switched machines to my CTX 3030 and started swinging again. After a minute of two I received a good signal and made comment of such. I kicked away a couple of inches of snow and the gold band made it’s appearance. Dana had put up a good front while I was searching but when I finally recovered the ring she realized what it was that was missing. Inscribed on the inside of the band is « ELS to HLE Dec 21,1896. ELS was her great-great grandmother Elizabeth and H was her great-great grandfather Herman. I felt fortunate to now be associated with such a story and history of this ring.

I received a text from Trisha. Her husband was throwing a rugby ball to his son, when on one pitch he felt his wedding ring fly off of his hand, and into the sand. With the force of his pitch he knew the ring could have gone far, and all that sand looks the same. They were on vacation from Delaware, were going back in a week, and did not want to leave his ring in California. I left immediately.

When I got there Trisha and her husband Andrew were waiting. They took me over to where the loss occurred. Andrew stood where he was when the ring came off, and showed me the direction of the pitch. I could see that they had searched quite a large area, but were not able to find the ring. I started at the spot where Andrew had been standing, and began my grid. The area was fairly clean of metal trash, though I was finding some of the common items such as foil and pull tabs. I searched out until I got to the outer edge of where they had already searched, and then right in the middle of their foot drag marks, I received a good repeating signal, dug, and had Andrew’s ring. They were very excited to see it again, and I am sure, wondering how they had missed it. It turned out to be a very happy day for all!

Zack called me to ask if I could help in finding his lost wedding ring. I was more than happy to offer my services. He had been in his small back yard throwing a ball to his child, when he felt his ring come off. He heard it hit the fence where there was a narrow area for plants, but he searched to avail, even with a rented metal detector. I was on my way.

When I got there, Zach let me into the yard. It was surely small, and the grass area was Astro Turf which could not hide the ring, so the only possibility was the narrow planting area which was next to the fence. That area was covered in wood chips that does provide cover for lost items, but they were pretty tightly packed. There were some small bushes that you could pretty much see through, and one good sized rubber tree. I scanned the wood chips, the small bushes also using the pin pointer, and then moved to the rubber tree. I searched around the tree, and then used the pin pointer to go into the leaf joints. I Started working around the back side of the tree, when right next to the tree in the dead leaves my pin pointer went off. I reached in, and moved the leaves around, and spotted the ring. I brought it out and gave it to Zach. He was so surprised, because he had searched the area, even with his rented metal detector, but came up empty. We as Ring Finders are very good at what we do. Do not hesitate to call if you need something found!

White Gold Wedding Ring Lost on Los Angeles Mountian Trail…Founf and Happily Returned.

I received a text from Dustin about his lost wedding ring wondering if I would be available to do a search for him. He had been out on a Los Angeles mountain trail, with his child, when they found a tree swing. Dustin said he believed that the ring was lost while he was pushing his child on the swing which sounded very logical to me, because it is something that you do out of the ordinary that usually causes the ring to come off the finger. We arranged to meet the next day for the search.

When I got to the trailhead Dustin was waiting for me. I got my equipment together, and we walked up the trail. When we arrived at the tree swing there were a lot of trees in the area, as well as weeds surrounding the swing. When I began I started by searching the weeds on the perimeter, and worked my way in, in a circular pattern towards the center where the swing was. There were some items in the area that I was finding such as bottle caps, and pull tabs that slowed the process a bit, but I kept to the plan. it was after about 3 times around, Ii got a great repeating signal, put my pin pointer in, and found Dustin’s ring. He was very excited to have it back, as I was to be the one to give it back to him; it made for a great day!

II got a contact from Betty about her husband’s lost wedding. They had been at the beach that day, and it was dropped somewhere in the sand where they had been sitting, but they had been unable to find it. They wanted to arrange a time the next morning to do a search, but I convinced them, even though it might be a little late and dark to do the search to eliminate the possibility of another metal detectorist of finding the ring early in the morning. So I was on my way.

When I arrived, I met Betty and her husband Jack. We walked out to the area of the loss. It took a few minutes to find the exact area in the darkness even though they had marked it, but we were successful. I began my search, working in a tight grid, and after a few quiet passes, I got the signal I was wanting. I scooped the sand, and had Jack’s ring. I showed them, and they were very excited. It was then that they told me they had been married only 4 1/2 months, so I was happy to return that very precious memory, and token of love to them in such a short time. Time is the enemy in a recovery, so CALL NOW, don’t wait.

Betty sent the following testimonial:

Steve aka Life Saver!!! Thank you so so incredibly much for helping my husband and I locate his wedding band in the pitch dark at Malibu beach! Steve knew the beach so well and helped us find the ring in less than 1 minute. (We had narrowed it down to a box of where we knew it was) My husband and I would highly recommend this service and Steve was a true pleasure.
Thank you,
Elizabeth

… John and his wife were enjoying their last day of their vacation at Santa Monica Beach, CA. He stood up near their blanket in the dry sand brushing sand off his leg, when his gold wedding ring went flying into the sand.

He was able to locate me online at TheRingFinders website. I made arrangements to meet him at the location  Our main concern was that he had to catch a flight back to Denver, Colorado soon. He might only have 15 minutes to show me the area of the loss. I suggested that he mark the spot with some markers and continue to grab into the sand. There was always a chance that traffic could delay my arrival.

I parked very close to our meeting place. They were still at the location. It was one of those quick recoveries because John called me shortly after the accidental loss and he stayed at the location. All searches are not this easy but we at TheRingFinders know how to conduct a proper search using the most efficient metal detecting equipment. 

John and his wife were able to catch their flight home with his wedding ring on his finger.

Lost Wedding Ring Found 1 Year Later In Lincoln, NB

  • from Fredericton (New Brunswick, Canada)
Contact:

Happy Owner

There’s the ring.

I received a call from  about his wedding ring he lost while out hunting with his son. In the congratulating his son on his first deer, the ring came off of his finger and flew into the woods. They searched for it at the time and then came back on a couple of occasions to see if he could find it, but was never able to locate it. He finally found me online and called, we met up and in a drenching downpourI followed him back into the area he had lost it. I searched the primary area then moved to the expanding search around the perimeter, finally locating it after about a 1/2 hr. He was very relieved to have it back on his finger after a year and said his wife would be equally pleased for the symbol of their marriage to be back in place. Thanks for the reward, and glad to see it back where it belongs.
