LOST Platinum wedding ring (for 5 months) at Air BnB on Lake Gaston, NC….. FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

So got a text from the wife of a guy that lost his platinum wedding ring at an AirBnB last November, just as the cold weather started coming in, I told her that sadly, I was done with water hunting for the season and that I could do it in late spring/early summer depending on the AirBnB schedule.

So a couple of weeks ago, I texted her and said I could do now that temperatures are rising. She responded and said she’d have to contact the owner of the house and get back with me.

We worked out a date and time for Sunday after 10:15 when the family checks out. I make the drive, review last years pictures and jump in the water to start my search. About an hour went by and I finally see a silvery/Platinum ring in my scoop!

I get out, take some pictures and send it to her, asking if this was “the ring!” She quickly replied back, “OMG, YES!” I said “send me your address and I’ll send you guys the ring!”

I sent this platinum ring to MD and the received it! It’s back where it belongs!!

“DIG IT ALL, SAVE SOME RINGS, BURY THE DRAMA!”

Lost Yellow Gold and Diamonds Hawaiian Style Ring in Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began yesterday when I got a call from Amy, who lives on Oahu.  While enjoying the day at Ulua Lagoon, her husband Jan was playing with the kids and tossing them up and out into the water.  One of the kids grabbed hold of Jan’s necklace, which had the ring on it and the necklace broke.  The ring went flying but in what direction and how far?  They were able to find the necklace but not the ring.  Jan had assumed the ring would be in the waist to chest deep water he had been standing in.  Knowing they were down in front of the umbrellas I told Amy I would hunt the next day.  I started the hunt on the Southern umbrella and worked North.  I concentrated on the waist to chest deep water.  Then after about 30 minutes as I was heading shoreward in ankle deep water I got a nice screaming tone on the Manticore and after two scoops I was surprised to see Jan’s awesome ring in the scoop.  I went back to my car and sent a pic to Amy as Jan was working in Waikiki.  Her response was « Oh my!!! You found it!!! »  I called and Amy said she would tell Jan and he could swing by my house which is 5 minutes from Waikiki, and pick up his ring after work.  Jan was stoked to be going home with his ring!  Aloha to Amy & Jan!

Lost Key Fob in the Snow in Edgewater Park NJ

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

This past winter kept me busy.

I had just gotten home & put away all of my detecting equipment from an earlier request when I received a call from Moise. While shoveling, he lost his keys & fob. I told him I could be there in about 30 minutes.

When I got there, he showed me where he was shoveling. There were some pretty high piles of snow. He went back into the house.

I got started. Within 5 minutes, I got a good signal. Dug down about 15 inches, and there were his keys. I knocked on the door and showed him his fob. He was amazed at how quickly I found them. He had been looking for hours.

I love my hobby!!

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wilmington, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Don’t wait…Call/Text Rich Hageney to find you lost valuables!!! He will deliver!!! (484)433-6990

Fellow Ring Finder, John Favano, referred Jamie to me. Time was of the essence on this one! Jamie was extremely stressed and upset over his lost gold wedding band…a wedding band he had been wearing for 38 years year straight and sadly, one in which he continued to wear in honor of his recently deceased wife. Oh…we were going to find this one…no matter what! Jamie was driving down his quiet community street with his left arm out the window….when he felt his ring slip off…and heard it bounce (once) on the street below. He immediately pulled to the side of road…thinking he would find after a quick search. But when he could not locate it he had a crowd of family and friends join in the search on hands and knees and they searched for hours. I showed up 60 minutes later with several metal detectors to assist in the search. Jamie described all the details involved when losing the ring…we even re-enacted the loss with him driving down the road and dropping a washer to simulate the ring. I firstly scanned the 3 small grassy front yards right where he said the ring slipped off…a gold ring on the surface has a very unique signature on my Minelab Manticare metal detector…and I knew for sure it was not in one of those areas. Time to expand the search…maybe the ring bounced and rolled farther away than anyone thought??? I walked 30 yards farther to another grassy area bordering the street…and boom…I got the gold ring signal I was hoping for. I looked down and saw his large gold ring sitting on top of the grass…I called at Jamie who was sitting looking dejected down the street and said I had another question  for him…he walked up to me and I said my question is « is that your ring »…pointing downward. Man…not sure I ever saw a guy look so relieved…he then become overpowered by emotion. It was very satisfying to be able come through for this kind and caring man.

 

Sentimental Charm Necklace Found in Ocean City NJ Beach Sand by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)
Lost a ring in Ocean City NJ?
Call 215-850-0188
Visitors come to Ocean City to relax and create memories, but sometimes valuable jewelry disappears unexpectedly in the sand. That happened to Jim after spending time on the beach with family and friends. The next morning, he contacted ringfinderssouthjersey.com⁠ about a sentimental chain and charm he believed had fallen off during the previous day’s beach trip.
The necklace carried tremendous sentimental value because it had been given to him 10 years earlier. After returning home that evening, Jim noticed the necklace was no longer around his neck. He searched everywhere he could think of before realizing the beach was likely where it had been lost.
Time matters during beach recoveries. Ocean tides, beach cleaning equipment, and heavy foot traffic can all make locating jewelry increasingly difficult. After speaking with Jim and getting a detailed description of the area, I headed out with my metal detecting equipment to begin the search.
When searching for lost jewelry in beach sand, staying methodical is important. I carefully worked the target area using overlapping search patterns to ensure nothing would be missed. After a short time, my detector alerted me to a solid target beneath the sand.
Within moments, the sentimental necklace and charm were safely recovered.
Recoveries like this highlight why experience and quick response matter when searching for lost jewelry on New Jersey beaches. Thin chains and smaller charms can easily disappear beneath the sand and become impossible to spot visually. Professional metal detecting equipment greatly improves the chances of recovery.
Thankfully, Jim’s cherished necklace was returned safely, turning a stressful situation into a happy ending.
If you lose a ring, necklace, bracelet, or other jewelry in Ocean City, NJ, contact ringfinderssouthjersey.com⁠ for professional lost jewelry recovery services throughout South Jersey beaches.

Lost Engagement Ring Recovery at a farm in Grimsby Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Another memorable recovery story!

Ryan contacted us by text after Emily had lost her ring the day before while feeding her horses. She had already spent hours that evening searching everywhere she could think of, but the ring had completely disappeared.

We started searching around the stalls and checked the areas where she had been working. Then we moved on to the feed bags and searched through them one by one. Down to the very last bag… we finally got the signal we were hoping for.

Sure enough, hidden inside the last feed bag was Emily’s missing ring!

Recoveries like this are a great reminder that lost items often end up in the places you’d least expect.

Another amazing recovery for an amazing couple!

Gold Wedding Ring Recovery Rochester New York

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Another happy ending!

We recently received a call about a lost wedding ring that had disappeared while gardening. One minute it was on their finger, and somewhere between digging, pulling weeds, and working around the garden beds, it had vanished.

After searching through the area and carefully working our way around the garden, we finally got the signal we were hoping for. A few moments later, the missing wedding ring was back where it belonged.

Wedding rings hold so much more than just value — they carry memories and meaning. Recoveries like this are always rewarding!

Lost iPhone Recovery from The Grand River in Dunnville Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Another successful recovery in the books!

We received a call from Amjad after an exciting day of fishing on the Grand River took an unexpected turn. He had just caught a fish and went to snap a photo of his catch when, in all the excitement, his phone slipped from his hand and disappeared into the water.

The phone had settled in about 10 feet of water, but the real challenge was the very poor visibility. After spending some time searching along the bottom, we were able to locate and recover it.

Nothing beats seeing the relief on someone’s face when a lost item is back where it belongs!

LOST RING FOUND MONTICELLO, INDIANA

  • from Carmel (Indiana, United States)

As summer arrives in Indiana, more people are heading to lakes and beaches, which also means an increase in lost jewelry and wedding rings. Many of the calls I receive begin after someone tries to rent a metal detector and quickly realizes how difficult underwater recoveries can be. My most recent hunt was no exception. I received a call from a couple who lost a ring in Monticello, Indiana, and despite the drive from my home base in Carmel, I was ready to take on the challenge.

Derick and his wife were visiting a friend’s lake house to enjoy a relaxing day on the water when she slipped while boarding the boat and fell into the frigid lake. Although shaken up but otherwise okay, she later realized her wedding ring was missing. After searching the cabin, they concluded the ring must have slipped off during the fall. Hoping to recover it quickly, Derick decided to rent a metal detector and search for the ring himself that same evening. After two exhausting hours searching underwater with goggles, flashlights, and the rented metal detector, they were left discouraged with no sign of the ring.

That’s when Derick found Lost and Found Ring and gave me a call. The next evening, I made the trip to the lake, suited up in a thick wetsuit, and began the search. The area was littered with junk, metal dock posts, and an aluminum jet ski lift that created heavy interference for my detector. After carefully scanning the area and isolating the best signal, I dug my first solid target, and there it was. Derick and his wife were overjoyed to have the ring safely back on her finger. Stories like this are exactly why I do what I do. If you lose a ring, save yourself the frustration and expense of renting a metal detector and call a professional first.

I Phone lost in Lake Monroe, Florida…recovered by Central Florida ring finder.

The very best metal detecting service in Florida is theringfinders.com! We can help you with all your metal detecting needs and lost item recovery needs as well. My name is Mike McInroe and I am here to help you in your time of need…so call or text me anytime at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Nilesh was looking at some of the local wildlife along Lake Monroe here in Sanford, Florida and as he and his friends were admiring an alligator in the reeds…Nilesh felt some kind of bug land on his arm and he swatted at it causing him to drop his cell phone. Only his phone hit the concrete and bounced into the water below and disappeared. The water level is quite low this time of year so it is at least an 8 foot drop down to the water and then there is the water hyacinths and reeds and mud. It was getting late in the day when Nilesh called me and I opted to try and use my large Magnatar magnet but after an hour or so we decided to meet early the next morning so I could use my metal detector and do a proper search. I arrived the next morning with an extension ladder and poles to push the water hyacinths back so I could decend into the shallow murky water and 5 minutes later I got a good solid high signal on my Garrett ATMax metal detector and as I felt around with my scuba boot I could feel a flat smooth item the size of a cell phone and sure enough–there was Nilesh’s lost I phone.

It is always a pleasure helping find a lost item and being able to return it to it’s rightful owner! Call or text me if you have lost something and need help!
