Lost White Wedding Band Mayflower Beach Dennis Cape Cod Sentimental

  Rick Browne of The Ring Finders gave me a call and asked if I wanted to help find a Wedding Band. I said sure where and when? He replied, rite now, and at my house. I jumped in the truck ready and raring to go. Forty Five minutes later we met Gordon at his summer place on Cape Cod, along with his wife Meghan and the kids, then off to find the « RING »,  after a few blocks down to the beach, people asking what we were doing one woman said prayers to St Anthony to help us. Off we went way out into the water, I asked Gordon to stand exactly where he thought he lost it… Rick grid worked one direction, and I the other to form a square pattern… To no avail, his sister was out standing in a spot where she had paced off the day before, and said she thought it to be where she was. Again we grid worked the area, and to no avail. I noticed that Meghan was walking out into the water, and as she approached, I noticed her stop in her tracks and said to Gordon, I think it was rite here. Of course I went over to her, and as I went close to her feet I had what I thought was a false signal, as sometimes that can happen in the water… as she went over to Gordon to talk it over again, I turned and got another signal rite where I thought the false signal was, and once I realized it was a low growl tone, and the only signal of the entire search, I just knew it had to be the ring. One scoop down, and sure enough it was in the scoop … I told Meghan to come back exactly where she was standing and to look into my scoop, she could not believe we had recovered the ring… Its such a rewarding feeling to return such a precious item… Back onto the ring finger of Gordon. I told him to get it sized it was way to loose for him… I think he has that on the agenda soon.

Lost Ring Pine Grove Niantic CT… Found!

  • from Westerly (Rhode Island, United States)

“This ring is extra meaningful, not only because it represents my achievement of graduating from college, and not only because it connects me to an earlier generation of Vassar women, and not only because it was given to me by one of my favorite professors, but also because it is something I will cherish forever, a piece that will remind me of how much I loved my school. Although I did not have the graduation and end of senior year I had hoped for, I’m so happy to always carry a little piece of Vassar with me!” – Emma.

A lost college ring brought me to one of Connecticut’s earliest coastal communities, Pine Grove in Niantic, CT. I approached the small riverside beach, not knowing what to expect as far as search conditions. The circumstance was unusual for me because I typically hear the job’s fine details before arriving. Only briefly discussing the lost ring over the phone, I realized the location was only 20-minutes away, and I could squeeze the search between the other things I had scheduled for the day – there was no time to get the details if I was going to make this search happen. Emma stored her ring in the side pocket of her chair for safekeeping. Later, she dug into the pocket and must have unknowingly pulled out the college ring while retrieving the other items. I had my starting point investigating the area and seeing the telltale dig marks in the sand next to the chair. By calling me right away, before moving the chair and before excavating half the sand on the small beach, Emma set the conditions up for a quick recovery. I understood the ring’s rarity when I saw the vintage gold glimmer in the sand.

“THANK YOU, Keith, for reuniting me with my one-of-a-kind memento! It is so special to me, and I am so happy that I can proudly wear it for years and years to come.” – Emma

Lost wedding ring recovered from Lake Michigan, Union Pier, Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)

Got a call from David, who had lost his white gold wedding ring while out at a Lake Michigan beach, near Union Pier Michigan. He wasn’t certain when the ring had fallen off his finger, but knew it was either up on the dry sand or out in the water, possibly deeper than head deep, within a certain “width” area.
Lake Michigan quickly claims many rings and can be quite uncooperative or merciless due to prevailing winds/waves. The wind forecast looked promising for a morning search the next day. Upon getting to a nearby parking area that next morning, I could hear an unwelcome roar of the surf.
We met at a certain stairway, walked to the beach and I could see the 3-4 foot high-freqnency whitecaps that make searching in the surf nearly impossible. The water temp had dropped from cold water being moved in. Temp from mid 70’s down to what felt like upper 50’s. I searched the dry sand area, then near the water line with no luck. Started in the frigid water, working the shallowest parts, getting battered by the waves and powerful multi-directional currents, as if the lake wanted to take me. With numb legs and that terrible feeling of failure, I accepted that the big lake wasn’t going to let me to find this ring today. I had to call the search and break the bad news to David and Silvia, who were standing on the beach watching with hopes of good news. They had to check out and leave for home again this same morning. I told them that I’d be back when the conditions were better so I could try searching more.
I returned to try again when the wind forecast looked good, but as usual with Lake Michigan, it wasn’t as forecasted and was still wavy enough to interfere with searching, no luck after trying a couple hours before work.
Fast forward a few more wavy days, there was finally a few hour window of nearly flat calm in the forecast and I took advantage of it. A few days of heavy wave action, wild currents and mass sand movement were not bringing positive thoughts for a recovery. I had a couple hours to search and had until 1130, which was when I had to stop and leave for work.
I searched the dry sand again, then the surf zone and found a few dimes, a nickel, a quarter, a couple pennies and some junk pieces of metal or tin. Moved out deeper, no promising signals of any kind. I had taken into consideration the wave directions, the current and searched quite a distance beyond where David said he’d been. For awhile, I was even using my scoop and detector like « arm stilts », so I could detect deeper than head deep (I’m 6’3″), nothing but junk targets. . 1130 came, it was time leave for work, no ring, that bad feeling of failure again set in.
Started back towards shore, I figured I’d go even further South of the search area to keep swinging the detector until back on the beach. About halfway to shore, chest deep, I got a potential lone signal of gold or a nickel. Scooped it up and there it was, a white gold men’s size wedding band. It had inscriptions in it and I confirmed with David that it was indeed his lost ring.

Lost Gold Wedding Band Kinnear Park Queen Ann Seattle

SeattleRingHunter Lost Item Recovery Specialist LAND & SCUBA Call ASAP 206-618-8194

Watch video link below…

James contacted me asking for some assistance in recovering his lost gold wedding band. He explained he had been doing some exercises earlier in the morning at Kinnear Park on Queen Ann Hill in Seattle. He had some gymnastic rings attached to the swing set and was doing a few moves. He decided to take his wedding ring off and placed it into his shorts pocket. Most likely after doing a few simple inversions the ring fell out and was quickly obscured by the wood chips below. He poked around looking for his ring but could not locate it. He knew he had to get someone with a metal detector if he was to get his ring back. After a simple Google search he found my profile page on TheRingFinders.com and reached out for assistance. After a few brief moments swing my detector coil over the wood chips I acquired the signal I was looking for. I called him over and with my pin pointer moved the top layer of wood chips aside. Sure enough we acquired the golden target we were after his gold wedding band! A simple search saving one more ring and collecting another appreciative smile.

Custom Silver and Turquoise Ring Lost in the Sand at Long Beach, CA…Found and Happily Returned.

Matthew contacted me last night. He had been at the beach earlier in the day throwing a ball for his dog, when after a good toss, he realized his ring was missing. The ring was a bit of a loose fit, so they figured it flew off in the direction of the thrown ball. The ring was a special gift from his girlfriend, who had it custom made for him with special engravings on the sides. I let him know that we should get on the search as soon as possible, so we arranged to meet as soon as I could get to the area.

When I arrived, we met up, and Matthew and his girlfriend took me over to the area of the loss. I could see where they had been searching, and Matthew showed me where he had been standing when he threw the ball, and direction the ball was thrown. I started searching, laying out a tight grid finding bottle caps, and other various pieces of metal, but no ring. I expanded the area thinking he might have thrown it further than he thought finding more bottle caps but no ring. I widened the search area, no ring. I then went back to the starting point, and began a backwards search, and on the first pass, got a booming signal, scooped, and in the scoop was this big beautiful silver ring. I pulled it out, and they were baffled by the fact that the ring was found just behind where Matthew had been standing when he threw the ball. I always tell people that what they lost isn’t always where you think it is. That is why we as Ring Finders can be so effective at locating lost jewelry, it is because we are not emotionally tied to the search, and can think out of the box. A beautiful warm Summer evening!

I got a call for a lost ring the other day. It seems Lewis was on the roof of a house working, when he remembered his ring was on his finger. He called his wife to come and get it so he tossed it down to her, but it slipped through her hands and went into the bushes and dead leaves that covered the area. I let them know I could come immediately and was on my way.

When I got there I was shown the area, and could see that they had moved a lot of the leaves, and exposed the grass underneath. I went over the leaves, but realized that the stone and concrete work underneath was reinforced, and was making my detector sound off continually, so they would have to be moved to search them. I then began on the grass under the bushes when after about 2 passes, I got a good solid signal, and moved the grass around. There under the grass was Lewis’ ring which I promptly handed to him. He was reluctant to have his photo take, so I am holding the ring in this shot. Needless to say it was a happy day!

Alaleh called in the evening saying she had lost some rings earlier in the day. We discussed what happened, and it sounded like this could result in a very successful recovery, so I convinced her to meet me at the beach as soon as we could get there, which turned out to be about 10:00 PM, so as to beat the county beach machines, and other detectors looking for treasure lost at the beach.

I got there a little while before Alaleh, and found the marker she had mentioned to me, and began my search. I made a few passes, and then Alaleh and her brother found me, and we talked about the loss. I decided on a search pattern based on the information she gave me. I searched out towards the way she believed she had gone. I went over the whole area, going beyond the scope in order to make sure something wasn’t overlooked. I found a handful of bottle caps, and foil, but no rings. I then decided to work in the other direction, as I could tell Alaleh was losing hope, and it was getting late, close to 12:00 AM, when after about 2 passes, I got a good signal, and dug. In my scoop was one of the rings, and I showed it and gave it to her. She buoyed in hope now, and I went over the hole again, scooped, and 2 more rings. I worked that hole a little more, and the lase ring was in my scoop. These rings all are very sentimental to her, 3 were given to her by her mother, and the other she bought as a freshman in college. She was so happy to have them back. What a grand night!

I received a call from Alexa about a lost ring. Her husband Stu had been surfing in the water, but removed his wedding ring and placed it in his hat in order to not loose it in the waves (a very prudent move to be sure).What happened after he came out of the water and was ready to leave was that he grabbed up all of his belongings, and walked off forgetting his ring was in his hat. When he realized what he had done, it was too late, the ring was gone. We arranged to meet at the spot for them to show me what had happened.

I got to the beach, and found them quickly. Stu went over the details of the loss, and showed me the area he had his belongings in when he went into the water, and the path he took when he left the beach. I began where he had been sitting and worked my way along the path of his exit. After about 7 passes, I got the strong signal I was hoping to hear. I dug in my scoop, and in the bottom was a nice gold ring I knew had to be Stu’s. I held it up, and showed them. They were very excited to have the ring back, not even having been married a year yet. The recovery made this a special day!

Lost Ring in Skaha Lake found by long time member of The Ringfinders.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)

Chad was in Skaha Lake behind his family home teaching his daughter how to swim when he realized his !8k White Gold wedding ring was missing,  he searched the water to no avail. 3 weeks later he found me on The Ringfinders website. The day I got the call I was searching Okanagan Lake for an engagement ring successfully, so I responded the next morning. After almost 2 hours of searching in the mucky silt I was feeling discouraged knowing that the ring is there somewhere, I took 3 steps from the boat dock and success there was the ring.
