Britney’s white gold ring fell off while enjoying the water at a shallow sandbar location. Her dad kindly taxi’d me out to search the site.
Once at the correct location, I jumped off the pontoon, lined up a certain tree and fallen tree limb and began detecting.
One fishing sinker, then a nice tone, Ring In The Scoop, in under a minute! Video link below:

In the photos above a beautiful Chrome Hearts necklace and cross were lost the night before down by the waters edge in Miami Beach. She placed her belongings under a blanket so nobody would steal it, but as in most cases at the end of the day she had forgotten that it was under there and walked away. After realizing she left it behind she came back and searched all night but couldn’t find it. She came back the next morning but again couldn’t find it. Luckily I was only a few blocks away from her when she called and I was able to quickly get over there. The necklace and cross were a gift from a dear friend who recently passed away and was obviously very sentimental to her. She was crying and I felt horrible.
She pointed out to me the area where she was the night before. I began to search but after 15 min of going over the same are she had given up and thought someone must have seen it and picked it up (I did too but I knew better than to give up). I expanded my search area and it had somehow made its way down closer to the waters edge. She was ecstatic to be reunited with her necklace very thankful that I didn’t give up. This was a very special gift and I was glad I could recover it for her.

In the pictures above, I was called out to search for a platinum and gold Cartier watch that was lost down by the waters edge. It was placed in a shirt and then the shirt was moved and the watch fell out and buried itself in the sand. I was skeptical that it was still there, I thought someone saw it and walked off with it. But that wasn’t the case. Right when I was about to start searching it started to rain and she thought would t be able to detect. Luckily she put me in the right spot and my first signal, there it was. We had enough time to take a few pictures before the sky opened up.

I was contacted on July 12th, 2025 to look for a tungsten wedding band that was lost in the backyard while playing with the dog (the ring was lost for 2 days). The wife reached out to me after doing a Google search for lost ring recovery. The husband felt the ring leave his hand and had a specific location narrowed down where the ring might be located. I was in the backyard for less than an hour and returned the ring happily to the husband. All smiles 😃
The summer heat was making the sand too hot to walk on, so Emma retreated to the cool lapping waves on Coeur d’Alene lake. While enjoying the water, her friends and family started a game of water volleyball. While passing the ball back and forth, Emma spiked the ball. As the spinning ball flew off her hand, so did her two wedding rings. Everyone around Emma heard her panicked cry to stop, so they all froze and devised a plan to get the rings back. The rings sank deep into the water and hid in the sand as her friends and family dove and snorkeled around searching.
The day drew to a close, so the search was called off. Emma reluctantly left that beach praying for her rings, that they wouldn’t be found by a rogue treasure hunter.
Later that night, after researching metal detector rentals, Reddit told Emma to call the Ring Finders.
I got a call from Emma while at work. Emma described her tragic day to me. The news that Emma’s silver wedding rings were lost on CDA beach was alarming. I was off like a flash to gather my gear and head to the beach. After getting in the water and Emma giving me x and y axis for the drop zone, I began searching. The wind was whipping up the waves so high the water crested over my head. I kept the search going for two hours. After completing a wide seach area, I asked Emma for more areas to search. This question revealed some discriptive details that Emma’s brother in-law had noted. There were notches cut into the retaining wall for the beach where Emma sat. Her brother in-law had counted off 5.5 notches to the west and counted out 18 paces into the water where Emma was standing. I walked backwards as I kept my eyes on the 5th notch. About belly button high water, I got a repeatable 7 signal on my Equinox. It wasn’t a silver tone, but I dug it up anyways. As the sand fell through through the holes on my scoop, a diamond ring appeared. While calling Emma over to confirm that I found her ring, I noticed the stamp in the ring said 18k. With a dreaded tone in my voice I said to Emma, « It’s not your ring it’s a gold ring ». As Emma returned to where she sat, I finished detecting up to the edge of the water. Thinking the ring I found was super valuable I called Emma over to keep a hold of it. As I handed her the ring, she exploded with emotion. « That’s my ring! » she said. I was shocked, so I asked her to show me the photo she had of the ring. It was a match. The silver color was what Emma was describing to me, not the metal the ring was made out of. Determined, I knew the other ring was not far from the one I found. Keeping the same line, I walked backward into the water. I was in chest high water when my detector picked up a 7-8 signal . I shook out the sand to reveal a rusted bobby pin. As I removed it from the magnet in my scoop, I saw a shining object in the corner of the scoop. It was Emma’s other ring. I pumped my fist into the air to show Emma I had found it and walked quickly back to the edge of the shore. The news I found her rings reached back to the small family sun bathing on the beach, and they cheered as Emma and I walked off the beach.
This search tested my stamina, but the sharp details Emma’s brother in-law had recorded, gave hope. Hope mixed with prayers was the recipe that found these rings for Emma.

Anthony lost his wedding band a few days ago, in lake Michigan, while diving to catch a football. He said he was about waist deep and somewhat in line with the one buoy marker at this stop (Stop 37). He happened upon my information while searching on Facebook. He was back home in Illinois, but his dad was able to drop me off to perform the search (no public parking anywhere within a mile). Search took about 8 minutes. Thanks to good known location of where he knew it slipped off and very calm lake conditions since the loss.
July 8, 2025 I was having my second cup of coffee, catching up on the news and weather – thunder storms in the afternoon when a text came in for help with a lost wedding ring. I read the following: “I’m Mattie and I lost my wedding band at the beach. I found your profile on ring finders and was hoping maybe you could help. … I know it’s been a few days of shifting sands and beach goers, but I was curious if you might be available to check it out. … I’m at peace if the ring ends up being a beach treasure in the end: it was a family ring but my mother and her parents were huge beach lovers and in way it would be poetic. … it was a ring my Yia Yia (grandma) gave to my mom, who gave to me when I was about to get married and we used for our ceremony! I’ve worn it since. It was loose on my finger in the water so I asked my older daughter to bring it back to the chairs we had while I stayed with my younger daughter (safety first!) but unfortunately she dropped it in the way. I saw how heartbroken she was and I just knew that the right thing in the moment was to not stress and move on.”
What could I do but assure Mattie that I would go and search the area. I would also reach out to other detectorists that I know frequent the area in case I did not find the ring myself. Once on the beach and in the area, I could not guess why that one area was void of towel and sun umbrellas. There was one person with a metal detecting scoop, but no detector in sight. At the end of my first pass I stopped and talked with the gentleman with the scoop. A local that regularly detects the area. I told him what I was looking for and he assured me he had not found much of anything over the past three days. Oh well, back to detecting … a coin spill of 45 cents … well no one gets it all. Another two steps and another target was beneath my coil, a quick scoop and it was in my scoop. Boy will Mattie be happy was my thought as I saw what had to be her ring, and it was. No one had found the ring in its three days in the sand. It was truly a lucky day for Mattie and a happy ending to the story for her older daughter.
As the family had returned to New York, I would mail the ring the next day and wait for a picture for the Book of Smiles. Yes, I just love my hobby for making happen endings to stories just like this one.
Received a call earlier today from Oscar about him having lost his gold wedding ring yesterday while swimming at Outlet beach in Sandbanks Provincial park. Weather was calling for severe thunderstorms warning early afternoon but once the bad weather rolled through, I headed to Sandbanks for the ring recovery. Time is of the essence to get searching quickly as there are a lot of metal detectorists looking for gold at this location. Having talked with Oscar extensively, I was able to use Google Earth, mark important reference points and send him back the picture to confirm I was going to be looking for his ring in the right area. Once at the beach, we had a quick FaceTime session to confirm the location. I headed in the water and started to grid the area carefully. Within 30 minutes of the search, I heard the sweet sound of his gold ring, at about 5 feet deep, within the general area he had lost it while swimming. We met later on this evening, with his lovely wife Samantha, and returned his ring. Really nice and sweet couple and extremely happy to be reunited with this special wedding ring. Another happy ending. Life is good!
July 12, 2025 Lost in beach sand just after applying sunscreen and trying to pick it up and put it back on. It just slipped off and into the sand. Several fellow beach goers searched to no avail. A Google search lead Imari to TheRingFinders.com and my phone. My usual response put Imari at ease and knowing I would be there within a half an hour. I made it by one minute.
A quick review of how the ring want missing and a recheck of its position on the beach with a cellphone application got me into the area. The first grid was not holding the ring so it was off to the second position that the application showed as the rings location. I admitted along the way that I was unsuccessful for finding the only other Oura ring I had searched for. But there was a good reason, it had been lost inside a car and the application defaulted to the last ping and not the current location. I guess that the application has improved in the last two years.
Back to the search… Dang, believe it or not, but Imari’s footprint was right on the precise spot that my detector alerted me to a buried object. And, yes, the object was the Oura Ring.
A few pictures were taken and a few detecting stories relayed before I was given two chocolate chip cookies that I said I would take home and make into an ice cream sandwich. As good as I know it will be, I will have to admit that the Ice Cream Sandwich in Sandwich, MA will be hard to beat. They make fresh cookies each morning and stuff with 4-5 scoops of you favorite flavors of ice cream. A must for anyone visiting Cape Cod
