Received a text from a young lady that stated she had lost her wedding ring set (two rings soldiered together) in a river that she was tubing on Friday July 3rd and asked if I could try and find it.

I said absolutely! The water was only about 2-3 feet deep and she lost it just before some rapids. So after work, I make the 3 plus hour drive and get to the spot. Grabbed my gear and headed down the little hill towards the river’s edge to assess the area.

Once in the water, I needed to try and figure out where she was based on the text message and screenshots received. I finally found what I thought was the spot and I get a good 72 VDI ring signal! It sounded loud and on top! The only issue was it was under a big log. I rolled the log to the right and scanned again. Now I’m really getting a good signal!! I went to get my goggles because I couldn’t see with the water moving and the suns glare. As I was coming back to the spot, the same “SUNS GLARE” actually shined down and I could see a silvery/white gold circle shining!! I reached down and pull it up!

I had to drive a ways to get cell signal back, but once I did I sent her the pictures and she was very happy!

Then I had to drive an hour to their house where I met her husband at the door! I said, “I hear your wife lost some rings!” He said, “Yes!” They both couldn’t believe it was still there and I found them! (on July 8th) Needless to say he was very excited to get them back as well!

Lost Phone In Lake Coeur D’ Alene…Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

With the hot summer sun high in the sky, all types of people are driven to the lakes. Tyler was at the lake as well, on Coeur D’ Alene Lake on the Fourth of July. His task that day was to help dock the pontoon boat that his uncle was driving. Like every other thing lost off a boat the story goes the same way. A sudden wave, a quick turn, a wet foot slips and overboard goes said item. For Tylers iPhone it seemed to grow legs and take a swan dive into the cool green water after it suddenly came out of his pocket. Watching the phone descend into the unknow abyss, Tyler got the summertime blues.  That afternoon, Tyler spent snorkeling around that area where the phone fell in. After not finding the phone, the word spread through the little lake community of University Point. As the news reached the next-door neighbors’ ears, the kind neighbors searched the web for some help. It wasn’t long after that, they had a name and number of a guy who had the gear and the knowledge to find Tylers phone. The next day I got a text and call from Tyler, and we made plans for me to come and take a look after work. As I made a short drive into Idaho, Tyler and I went over the plans for the search. After all the set up my scuba gear takes, I was in the water searching with the fishes. I started off in 22 ft of water and made a few grid lines up and down a steep slope in the water. Tyler had me move in closer to the dock after I had no luck. I was now in nine feet of water, and the weeds were really thick. I went back and forth in front of my buoy, and again I didn’t find the phone. As two hours of looking came and went so did my air. I was at the very last of my air limit with 1000 psi left. I swam up to the edge of the dock and asked Tyler where I should look on my last dive. His eyes darted out to my buoy, and he said,  » did you see the really tall weeds out there? », I answered back with a quick yes and then he told me look behind my buoy in the thick weeds. I had made one pass around my buoys anchors already. This time I swung out a little bit more and as soon as the light from the sunset came through the weeds I got a huge hit on my Excalibur. With a quick pinpoint, my detector started to overload, and I knew I was on a good target. Reaching through the coil I could feel the smooth face of the phone, so I grabbed it. The clear case was almost back in the water, but the sticker Tyler said it had on the back I could clearly see. As I came out of the water I held the phone high. I could see Tyler and his aunt cheering on the edge of the dock. The sweet summer fun Tyler is going to have this year will include a story about his lost phone. However, the best part about his story will be when he pulls the phone out of his pocket and shows everyone that it still works even though everyone thought it was a goner. Just so you know, iPhone’s reign supreme when it comes to waterproofness. Lastly, the water may steal away what is valuable, but The Ring Finders are amphibious and determined to reclaim all that the water steals.

Engagement Ring Lost in the Lake-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Sydnie on Saturday the 4th and she said her friend who was down from Ohio for the 4th had lost her engagement ring in the lake right behind her house. They were floating about fifteen to twenty feet from the dock. Before I could make it over there they had to return home without the ring. I was able to get there for the search on Tuesday. I geared up for the search using my Manticore with the Gray Ghost Amphibian headphones and a sand scoop. Fortunately the water was only around 4 to 4 1/2 feet deep there. The bottom was a very shallow layer of soft mud, maybe less that 2 inches, with a hard pan of clay underneath. That made it difficult to use a sand scoop, but I made it work. Closer in to the dock there was a lot of iron and other debris that made the going slow, but as I got further away from the dock those signals were further in between. The water was deep enough that I couldn’t see the screen on the Manticore, and the lost ring was white gold so I could concentrate on the low tones. After about an hour and a half I was at least twenty feet away from the dock, maybe a little more, and I got the tell tale double beep low tone that was very strong. The lost ring was white gold so I could concentrate on the low tones. I lifted the detector out of the water to see the screen and it said 06 for the target ID. With the hard pan clay down there it took me three attempts to get the target in the scoop, but there it was, a dainty white gold ring.

Lost gold ring FOUND! Sea Isle City, NJ By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Paul. Paul explained that he was enjoying a day on 29th st beach with his family in Sea Isle City NJ. Paul was standing in shallow surf when his ring slipped from his finger and disappeared into the surf. Paul and his family searched the area but were unable to locate the ring. After a quick search, Paul landed on Ring Finders Cape May. After discussing the details with Paul I took the short ride to Sea Isle City and met Paul and his family on the beach. Paul made some good decisions by marking the area and gathering reference points when he dropped the ring. Utilizing my top of tye line detection equipment I began grid searching the immediate area. Luckily the tide was receding, and the area was mostly wet sand at this point. After a brief 5-minute search my detector indicated a solid, clean, low growl typically associated with gold targets. After two scoops into the sand Paul’s gold wedding ring emerged in my scoop. The whole beach erupted in applause. Another happy ending, another satisfied client!

Lost White Gold men’s wedding band at Sanders Beach in Coeur d » Alane Idaho….Found!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Lots of my Ring Finder stories start off with a very detailed description of how the ring was lost and how the person got in touch with me. However, this story is quite different from all of the rest of my stories. I was just finishing up a birthday celebration for my daughter when a gentleman called me and asked if I could help him find his lost ring on Sander’s beach in Idaho. The interesting thing was that I’m normally not in Idaho, I’m normally in Washington, but on this very day I was in Idaho. The other fact was that I didn’t have my metal detecting gear with me. This fact was also out of the norm, but what made it even more unusual was that the gentleman bought a metal detector and had it at the beach. The story takes another turn when he tells me that he must leave soon and he will leave the detector at the beach for me to use when I get there. So, after gathering up my family and pulling up the google map I was on my way to Sander’s beach. I found a parking spot right by the beach, which never happens. I rushed down to the beach and looked by the tree where the detector was stashed. To my surprise the detector was sitting right where the gentleman left it. The gentleman had taken the detector apart; my guess was to prevent it from being stolen. After I put it together, it worked. The detector was simple with an analog gauge and gave only one sound. This didn’t faze me; I bent over and started swinging the kid size detector over the sand. Within two or three swipes into my hunt I got a signal. I pushed the sand with my foot, and the signal moved with the pile. So, grabbing handfuls of sand, I passed my hand over the coil. On the third handful I saw the rim of the gentleman’s ring peeking out of the pile. I found his ring in minutes. After calling the gentleman I took the ring to his house and left it and the detector on his porch. During the ride home back to Washington I kept shaking my head in disbelief. How many searches have I gone on with the top-of-the-line detectors, spending hours searching and researching with no luck. Remember this, it doesn’t matter what detector you have; you won’t find anything if your coil doesn’t pass over it.

Wedding ring found in the water at Sanford Lake in Michigan

  • from Mount Pleasant (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from a lady saying that her husband lost his wedding ring at Sanford Lake in Michigan. I met them both there to try to find it. The husband said he was in about a 75 foot long area along the beach in the water. He said that he didn’t go out farther than 30 feet. He was playing with his kids and crawling on the lake bottom. I figured that I would start at where he could crawl and keep his head above water. In less than five minutes and my first signal, I scooped up his ring.They were both happy to have it back and it made my day to get it back to him.

Lost – Gold princess cut diamond engagement ring, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!

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

I received a text from Alex on Sunday morning. He said his fiancée had lost her engagement ring the previous day and asked if I could help. I told him to call me right away.

Seconds later, my phone rang. I could hear the tension in his voice as he explained where and when the ring had been lost. They had searched for quite a while but came up empty. I told him I could head there immediately. Since his fiancée, Bryanna, lived about 40 minutes away, he said she would meet me at the beach. I told him I’d get started and wait for her.

As I drove, I prayed that God would guide my search.

When I arrived, I fired up the Minelab Manticore. A few beach tents already occupied the area, and I could still see the marks in the sand from the previous evening’s search.

I began carefully gridding from the edge of the water into the dry sand where Bryanna believed the ring had come off. I had covered most of the likely area and was beginning to wonder if it had been lost somewhere else.

Then came a booming signal.

Just beneath the sand was the ring, crowned with a beautiful, large diamond. It was easy to understand why they had been so worried.

I walked back to the house where I had parked my car at Mike and Pam’s home, Bryanna’s best friend’s parents. Moments later, Bryanna and her mother arrived. I asked Bryanna to tell me one more time where she thought the ring had been lost. As she pointed toward the beach, I slowly raised the ring into her view.

First came a gasp. Then tears of joy.

Praise God! Another precious ring was safely back where it belonged.

Wedding Ring Lost During a Water Ballon Fight-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Chris contacted me on Sunday morning and said his wife had lost her ring in the front yard while throwing water ballons on the 4th. He showed me the area they were at so I started there. I was fairly certain that early on in the conversation he said it was white gold, so I was mainly concentrating on shallow low signals. But, after around 30 minutes I got a very strong 72 on the Manticore with the telltale double beep that said it was very shallow or on the surface. A 72 is definately not white gold, but a silver or copper tone, and of course I investigated to see what it would be. It was the lost ring, and after looking at it I saw a 925 inside the band. So it was silver and not white gold. His wife was estatic and said she went to sleep crying the night before. In my book they are newlyweds, only 6 months in. A successful recovery!

Wedding Band Lost While Preparing Raised Plant Bed-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Nick contacted me and said that his wife had lost her wedding band while preparing a raised plant bed, but she wasn’t sure which one. He and his wife has a matching tungsten carbide band set. The first bed I checked had a good signal, but it turned out to be a larger deep signal. The second bed was larger in size, but all of them had galvanized metal sheeting for the side walls. That was a problem, but I managed to work around it. In the second bed I found a signal that was showing a 30 on the Manticore, but was close to the metal side wall so that number may have been skewed. That 30 on the Manticore turned out to be her ring. It was about four inches deep. The total seach time was only about twelve minutes.

Lost Wedding Ring recovered at Gaviota State Beach by Dave The RingFinder

Call or text Dave at 805-290-5009 so he can create a plan to get your ring back!

I got a text late on July 3rd from Jen who was visiting the town of Goleta from Phoenix to visit family. They had made a trip up to Gaviota state beach and had been playing on the beach and in the water when Jen noticed her wedding ring was missing. She had been in 3 places while at the beach and she wasn’t sure which one was where it came off. One of these places was in the water as she had been playing with her kids in the shore break. She was concerned that her ring was lost for good as she and her family were leaving to go back to Phoenix in a few days and fortunately she found Dave The RingFinder after a quick search for lost ring recovery on Google.

I checked the tide table for when she lost it so I could see if the next low tide could help us out. There was a 0.0 at 7am so I told her I would head up there first thing in the morning. After leaving the house at 5:15am I arrived at just past 6:30am so I had an hour or so of search time before high tide started rolling back in. I went to the area she marked for me and began to grid perpendicular into the ocean. After about 20 minutes moving south I decided to try my luck going north and after about 10 minutes I finally got a signal that was worth digging on my Minelab Manticore. It took 3 scoops of my CKG scoop to remove it but when I sifted in the water Jen’s ring emerged from the sand! It was another shallow water ring recovery and another vacation saved by Dave The RingFinder.
