Lady’s White Gold Wedding Band Lost at Sunset Beach NC, Found and Returned

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I was about half way home from an unsuccessful 6 hour search when I checked my email and found one from Kyle. In her email she stated, “Hi, I saw your name on the ring finder website. We lost a wedding band at Sunset beach today. I can point you to almost exactly where we were sitting. (Landmarks) we lost it at low tide. I went back at high tide and the water was right up to where we were sitting. Please let me know if you are available and what your cost is.” The timing was perfect because I was just coming up to the turnoff for Sunset beach. In her email she had also included her phone number, so I gave her a call. I confirmed she hadn’t lost it in the ocean, but in the dry sand, and I her I could meet her in 15 minutes. She agreed to meet, and gave me the beach access street number, but said it’d take her about 20 minutes.

I met Kyle, her sister Jen, and a young man as we were walking across the access boardwalk out to the beach. Kyle explained how she lost it, and then we just chit chatted on the long walk out. Kyle said that she and Jen have always wanted to get a metal detector and find treasure. When we got to the beach, it was pitch black. There are no hotels or resorts to light up the beach, and with overcast skies there was no stars or moon. We turned right when we got on the beach and kept walking; I started to worry a little thinking Kyle may not be able to find their spot. After a couple hundred yards or so, Kyle stopped and said we were right here in front of this mound. I turned on the Equinox 800, tested a duplicate ring Kyle had, which rang up as a 12 on the VDI. Took 2 steps and got a 13/14 on the VDI, which I thought would be a pull tab with those numbers. As I dug the target, I even commented to Kyle “I think this is a pull tab.” When I shook the sand out of the scoop and looked, I saw her white gold wedding band and said “or maybe not” as I held it up for her to see. She and her sister were a little surprised with how fast it was found. I told her the credit was all hers for putting me in exactly the right spot. I then let Kyle and Jen use my machine and run the coil over her ring so they’d get an idea of how to detect, if they were to get a machine.

Kyle – Thanks for contacting and trusting me to help find your lost treasure. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and stay safe.

Jim

Lost ring in the sand Carlsbad Metal detector San Diego

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)
Contact:

 

TheRingFinders beach Metal detecting service in San Diego California helped find a lost silver wedding ring band 760 889 2751 OPEN NOW.

As easy as a wedding band can be lost in the beach sand,it can also easily be found by a Metal detector specialist. This call I received was from a lady asking if I could help them find her husbands ring buried at Carlsbad state beach. She mentioned that he threw the ring for her to catch before going swimming and it disappeared into the dry sand…Uh Oh.!

Fortunately,I am available to leave at the drop of a hat to go help them or others in need.Not so many guys with detectors can say that having limited free time or living far from these local San Diego county beaches.

So I arrived to the scene of the lost ring in just under 20min of the call to meet the nice family here on vacation.Before turning on my Advanced P.I Metal Detector,,I asked and answered a few questions to better help this search out. They had actually spent some time sifting through the sand with help of the nearby fellow beach goers…Funny thing I actually knew that right away because the beach sand always looks like Chinese grass/mounds afterwards Which is a slight concern to some noting the lost ring could be buried even deeper now.

“Onwards” however,This was not a problem for me either as I was able to unearth his precious wedding ring in merely just a minute of searching.Then to my surprise,,The entire beach around us electrified immediately with thundering clapping,Cheers and joyously big smiles every where I could glance at!

This is why I love this hobby as an agent of TheRingFinders,,It was the closest thing I could ever feel to being a super hero or maybe even having some kind of super powers ?? Ha;) But Especially during this COVID-19 Pandemic.. doing anything you can to help out others in need is a very rewarding object,,,That generates good Karma!

**** Sean lost his platinum wedding band at a local SoCal beach in the drysand. His wife was upset with him because they both knew it needed to be resized. She had even suggested that he leave the ring at home.

As usual they spent several frustrated hours searching by hand before calling me to help. After hearing that he felt the ring come off and they were still at the location, I told them we had a very good chance to find it with my up to date metal detecting equipment. I arrived shortly after talking to Sean. 

His wife Michelle was still upset, but after a short search we had the ring. Everything changed after I handed them the ring. Another happy couple with their very important wedding ring that means so much to the both of them.

Lost Gold Hawaiian Ring at Hanohano Hale Beach…FOUND!!!

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


This ring find began when I got a text Saturday from Nicole who lives on Oahu and lost her Hawaiian Heritage ring at Hanohano Hale Beach in Punaluu. While swimming with some friends at the beach as she exited the water a rather large wave crashed into her near the shoreline and her ring came off. She reached for the ring but it disappeared in the surf. She fruitlessly searched for awhile and finally giving up as the waves were pounding the shore. We talked on the phone as I reviewed the surf report and agreed Thursday would be the best day to hunt as the tide would be low in the morning and the surf would be much less then when she lost the ring. I arrived Thursday morning and waited for Nicole to arrive and show me where the ring came off. Thankfully, this area has a barrier reef before the shoreline so I expected the ring to be very near where it was dropped. I started my grid search in about waist deep water and worked towards shore. I noticed a few Portuguese Man-O-Wars in the sand so I was keeping my guard up so not to entangle myself in any tentacles in the water. I completed the search area and didn’t find Nicole’s sentimental ring. We discussed some other details and I decided to do a grid perpendicular to the shoreline. On the third leg I got a screaming target on my Excalibur and after two deep scoops there was Nicole’s ring in the scoop. I yelled ashore to her that I got it and she met me on the water’s edge to look in the scoop. I saw a tremendous smile come over her face and I knew it was the one. Besides a generous reward Nicole gave me a wonderful decanter of Kohana Rum Barrel Aged Hawaiian Honey which I will put in my coffee each morning until its gone. What a great way to start my day and lift our spirits during this pandemic. Aloha to Nicole!

Rob Ellis: Metal Detector Expert…Call or text 703-598-1435

August 13, 2020: A couple of days ago, Eddie was playing in the water with his children. When he realized his ring was missing, he searched as well as possible. He soon realized he needed a waterproof metal detector. Eddie called the Woodbridge SCUBA Dive Shop to see if someone could conduct a search. Since no one was available to immediately help, my friends at Woodbridge SCUBA referred me to Eddie.

 

West beach is private for the Montclair Property Owners Association members

We were supposed to meet at 0800, but we were both 15 minutes early. It was raining very hard the whole time and I was watching for approaching lightning. After Eddie showed me the potential areas the ring could have fallen off, I started the search. Something made me go just a little further out for my first leg of the pattern. Within a few minutes, I heard that lovely tone of gold and recovered Eddie’s wedding band. By this time Eddie’s wife had arrived and they were both there when I handed over the ring. It was then that they told me that tomorrow was their anniversary!! We were all soaking wet, but full of warm feelings.  I love this hobby!!!!

Smiles in the Rain

Lost Family Heirloom Gold Ring- Jockey’s Ridge State Park – Nags Head – Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from a young lady Wednesday evening.  She said that she had lost her gold ring, which was a family heirloom, handed down to her from her grandma.  She was devastated because she had worn it swimming at Jockey’s Ridge State Park in Nag’s Head, NC.

I explained to her that metal detecting is not allowed in NC State Parks.  I advised her to call Jockey’s Ridge and explain the situation.  She called me a few minutes later saying that the Park Ranger Manager would allow it provided that I turn in any other items found during the search and that we could look the next morning.

I met her at the gate when it opened the next morning.  She took me down the path that they had taken to the beach and I first checked all the dry sand in the area that they set up.  No luck.  I began a grid search in the water that spanned about 50 yards…going deeper and deeper.

I found a few items that we not the target item (which I turned in at the Ranger station on the way out) and then on the 3rd pass…It rang up on the Minelab Equinox 800!!!

Congratulations on finding Grandma’s ring!!

Disney Earring Lost at Watch Hill Beach, Westerly RI… Found!

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

Surf lessons turned ugly when an 8-year-old lost her Disney earring. Jeff was teaching his daughter how to surf on a sunny evening at Watch Hill Beach just outside the Ocean House. Unknown to Jeff, the daughter’s friend must have placed an earring on the top of the surfboard near a large piece of driftwood. By the time Jeff grabbed the board, it was already too late. The child’s earring was lost in the sand. Losing a Disney earring can quickly suck the fun out of any activity. I know this because this is the second time I have found a lost Mickey Mouse earring from “The Happiest Place On Earth,” and the owners are always heartbroken when the loss happens.

Jeff approached me the lost earring story as I was finishing up an engagement ring search. Luckily Jeff had the other earring, so I was able to run a test and identify the metal detector tone of the lost earring. Once I was familiar with the sound, I started to search. The pressure was on as the 8-year-old children watched my every move. Searching around a large piece of driftwood where the surfers hang out, I held the lost Disney earring within the first couple of minutes of searching. The group of onlookers was in shock. They felt the likelihood of finding such a small lost item in the sand was low, which made the surprise so special.

“An 8-year-old placed an earring on my surfboard without telling me, and I moved my surfboard. Fortunately, Keith was in the area and volunteered his services to help the child that lost the earring. The greatest joy when it was found was by me since I am the one that dragged my daughter’s friend to the beach, and I felt responsible for the lost earring. We had given up when Keith came by and tracked it down in about 5 minutes. A happy ending to a stressful surf session” – Jeff

Diamond Wedding Ring Lost in Surf at SoCal Beach … Found and Returned to Grateful Owner

If you lost your ring in the sand call  “Stan the Metal Detector Man” available now … 949-500-2136

***  Maria found my contact information on the internet a day after her white gold and diamond wedding ring slipped off her finger into the surf. She had taken her young son for his first time at the ocean. While holding him in shin deep water her ring slowly came off her finger. She couldn’t let go of her son to retrieve the ring as the next wave washed the ring out of sight.

The loss occurred at a high tide but this SoCal beach is one place that can pull a ring down into a deep trough of cobble stones. I made arrangements to meet Maria just a little after noon which is the best low tide.

When I arrived Maria her mother and sisters were all at the site. She had good landmarks that helped make this a successful search. I began my grid search approximately 20 feet below where she dropped the ring. Working up the slope to where she said the loss happened. I got the perfect white gold signal exactly where she said it dropped. The ring had not moved from that spot all night with two high tides. 

The whole family was excited as were several of the beach goers that witnessed the recovery. This never gets old for me, it’s great to see the joy and feel the gratitude from the  people I’m able to help.

Unusual request for hunt in Lincolnshire, Illinois. Found in less than 5 minutes. Ready for next July 4th!!!

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

Received a long distant call from a woman to look for an item. Her parents, who live in Lincolnshire, Illinois, have been searching for a flag pole hole that was buried over two years ago. They knew the area and have been searching for it for two years. They wanted to put up their flag. She asked me if that was something I could find. I told her it was. She said that  » My dad is  skeptical, doesn’t think you’ll find it – haha! It took me less than five minutes! It was an aluminum sleeve, that the flag pole slipped into. He had the flagpole. I just took a reading off of it, so I knew where it would fall. It was encased in cement. As soon as I got the hit, I used my long screwdriver to probe and bingo! Solid concrete. Happy ending. The flag missed July Fourth, but it can go up now.
