Received a call from Tom. He explained that his wife had dropped her diamond ring somewhere between the beach entrance and where they set up on the beach. Took the short ride over from home and met up with Tom at the entrance to Philadelphia beach. Tom led me from the entrance of the beach to where his party had set up their belongings for the day. I checked the path to their site while he directed me to it with a few coins found along the way. One reaching their site I met Toms wife Thanh and bean checking around their cabana. With the first swing I heard a familiar tone. One shallow scoop later I had Thanh’s ring in the scoop, much to the couples relief! Another happy couple!
Thanh’s review:
“While on vacation I lost my wedding ring at the beach in Cape May. 😥 I was DEVASTATED. My husband found Jeff through a quick google search and within 15 minutes of making contact, he was at our beach site and within 1 minute he said “don’t worry, I got it,” and found my ring!! It was incredible!!
Thank you again, Jeff, for finding my ring! If anyone ever loses their jewelry in Cape May, reach out to Ring Finders Cape May. He’s the best!”

Precious Engagement/Wedding Ring Found For Owner by Brian Tucholke, Old Silver Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

12 August 2015.  Nickey was enjoying a day at the beach with her children, but she was devastated when she realized that her beautiful custom-made engagement & wedding ring was missing from her hand.  Fellow beach goers helped her search for it with no result.  Beach sand, whether dry, wet, or under water can hide a ring in an instant, and when the place of loss is not certain a tactile recovery or recovery by sieving becomes a nearly impossible task.

Fortunately beach staff knew about the Ring Finders and gave Nickey contact information.  She called Rick Browne, my friend and fellow Ring Finder in Yarmouth.  He was not able to come to Falmouth but referred her to me.  I was able to meet her at the beach within about 15 minutes.

Nickey outlined the area where she had been, in and out of the water.  The loss had been about 2 hours previously, fortunately at mid-tide on an outgoing tide.  She had been playing and tossing a ball in the water with her children, so that seemed to be the likely place the ring was lost, although it could also be in nearshore wet sand or in dry sand where they had been sitting.  I started the search in the water near the center of the likely area, doing swaths from the shoreline out across a trough and across a sand bar about 150′ offshore, then back in.

As my swaths approached the south edge of the area Nickey said she felt that she and her children had been playing farther north so I returned to the center and moved in that direction.  One swath out and then halfway back, on the sand bar, pure Magic!  As I scooped a nice crisp signal in calf-deep water I saw her beautiful ring slip over the tip of the scoop — it was only an inch or two into the sand — but with a quick second push I had it.  The sand quickly flowed through the holes in the scoop and I was left staring at nothing but a gorgeous diamond ring set, resting safely and sedately at the bottom.

I left the ring set in the scoop and headed in to shore.  As Nickey looked questioningly at me I held out the scoop.  She looked inside.  Well, words cannot begin to describe all the mixed emotions and tears that flooded forth, but it can safely be said that the encapsulated joy of those moments will never be forgotten.  Nickey called her husband Mike with the good news, and those who had helped in the earlier search joined in the celebration.  I was pleased to be able to meet Mike, who arrived from work a short time later.

What a great day!

Nickey’s beautiful engagement/wedding ring.

 

Nickey’s ring back where it belongs.

 

A very happy young lady!

 

There’s nothing like success!

Two cell phones thrown in lake, Orlando Florida…recovered by Mike McInroe, Florida Ring Finder

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Contact me for all your metal detecting needs. Mike McInroe…Central Florida Ring Finder @ 321-363-6029! Land, water, sand, grass, cracks in cement, in cars, rings, keys, phones, chains, property markers, etc.

This search began with a text from a distraught young lady who unfortunately had her cell phone thrown into a small lake behind the Airbnb that they were staying in. And to make matters worse she ended up throwing her husband’s phone into the same body of water only minutes later…Yikes! It did not take them long to realize the error of their actions and they went online to find some much needed help and that led them to theringfinders.com and my phone number. I met them later that day and listened to their story and then I geared up with my wet suit, scuba boots, long handled beach scoop and my trusty Garrett ATMax waterproof metal detector. They had a fairly good idea where the phones landed in the water but between the weeds and the muck and silt…plus the fact that the bottom dropped away about 15 feet from the shore made it very difficult to search and retrieve any signal. I found the young lady’s phone after 40 minutes of searching and was able to use my long handled scoop to reach down over the sloped area and drag it close enough to retrieve. The young man’s phone was further out and I managed to tread water and swing my metal detector by holding on to the back arm rest portion thus allowing me to push it deeper into the water and my first good signal was an old beer can and then minutes later another large sounding signal that required the use of a long handled fishing net. After 5 attempts of dragging a net full of muck and silt and trying to keep myself lined up to where I got the signal I finally felt what I was looking for in the bottom of the net…the young man’s cell phone!

How I thank God for helping me recover these two phones and for allowing me to be a help and blessing to this young couple! How can I help you? Contact me or a member of theringfinders.com and let’s talk.

Mike McInroe…waiting to help you find your lost item!

if you need help finding a cherished keepsake call or text Stan.. 949-500-2136
*** I met Davi at a fire pit on the sand at Huntington State.Beach. He believed his silver class ring was in the sand. He had it on when he got to the group beach party. He didn’t feel it come off his finger. We scanned the area around the where he had been with no success.

As I was talking to him he said,he spent most of his time in a chair next to the firepit.

I suggested that I would return in the morning with sifting equipment to check the coals after they cooled off.

It was only 5 miles from my place and I felt it was worth a try. Davi didn’t want to bother me anymore. It was just a feeling I had, even thought he didn’t believe he did anything to lose the ring in the fire.

The next morning the coals were still hot so I took a bucket of water to cool the coals, so I could search them..

A couple of shovel full of wet soggy ashes and there was a blackened silver ring in the sifter. A lucky guess that I had because I knew the ring was not in the area I searched in the dry sand around the firepit.

Give me a call for information on metal detecting for lost jewelry.. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE  .. 949-500-2136

Bolsa Chica Beach Metal Detecting Service Finds Lost Hierloom Ring In Sand

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

If you need metal detecting service call Stan the Metal Detector Man .. Prompt response to your location or answering your questions. Call ASAP … Stan .. 949-500-2136
*** Brittany and her family were at Bolsa Chica State Beach. They set up a beach tent and enjoyed the day. That evening after returning home her husband, Joe realized his wedding ring was missing. It wasn’t just a normal wedding band. It was his wife’s grandfather’s ring an hierloom ring passed down for their marriages couple years ago.

Joe had no idea of when the ring went missing and he had been many places between the time they went to the beach. After searching the car and house Brittany  purchased a metal detector from Amazon. She felt that possibly the loss occurred when Joe was filling sand bags to anchor the beach tent.

She returned to Bolsa Chica beach to find the ring. Shortly after trying to learn how to use a metal detector at the beach, she called me for experienced metal detecting service. Because Brittany had remembered how to get me in the general location. The ring was recovered in a short methodical grid search using a state of the art professional metal detector.

Joe was especially relieved, he took a lot of heat for not paying attention as to when the ring came off.

Sometimes it’s hard to take on these searches where the person didn’t realize when the loss occurred.  I try to explain that searching is a process of elimination, if I do not find it, they can search other places. Most the time I can assure the persons the item is not where I have detected..  with a little explanation.

Eastham, MA Necklace « The Bean » Dug from the Sand and Returned by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

A preface to my blog:

“The Tiffany Bean Necklace is more than just a piece of jewelry; it is a cultural symbol. Over the years, it has become synonymous with personal milestones—from graduations to anniversaries, and even as a gesture of self-love. The necklace represents a connection to significant life moments, encapsulating memories and emotions that are often cherished by its wearers.” Quoted from: wearfortune.com/blogs

July 20, 2025 As it happened to be the summer tourist season the main highway thought the Outer Cape on Cape Cod (route 6) is usually bumper to bumper unless you can travel late night or early morning. My luck the tide would be low and a early morning search possible. Parking would be another problem. My luck again was on my side. A vacationer was packing his vehicle at the end of his stay. He was all-in to let me park in “his” driveway while I went to search for the lost “Bean”.

Ready for the search, I preceded to the area described to me and then did a grid search. Not finding the necklace and wondering where to move my search area to. Luke shows up and told me the difference between what I counted as 2 wood posts was a bit short of what he had counted. OK another 50 feet down the beach and I saw some of the previous night’s search marks in the sand. I started to search swinging my detector in a precise pattern. About two minutes into the grid, Bingo, I heard a promising signal, took a shallow scoop and saw the necklace hanging from the end of my scoop.

The search was over, just as Luke’s sister (the Beans owner) was strolling down the beach toward our location as we were about to leave. Smiles and thank you along with me getting the relationship, to each other of those, that came to watch. I knew my trip home would also be easy as all the traffic build up would be in the other direction of travel this morning. Nothing but smiles and a good cup of coffee are a perfect beginning for any day.

Metal Detecting Recovery and Return of Wedding Band, Falmouth Heights Beach, Massachusetts, by Brian Tucholke

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

2 August 2025.  Sean’s white and yellow gold wedding band went flying from his finger as he was tossing a ball in belly-deep water at the beach.  He tried diving with goggles to search but it proved fruitless.  This is usually the case, as a heavy gold ring will sink quickly into soft sand, especially if the sand is disturbed by feet or waves.  Luckily, Sean’s wife Caitlin tried a Google search for ‘Falmouth ring finder’ and when my name came up she gave me a call.  The timing was great as our houseful of company had departed less than a half hour before, so I was able to get to the beach within about 15 minutes.  As would be expected the parking lot was full because it was a sunny hot Saturday, so I had to wait 10 or 15 minutes before a spot (fortunately) opened up.

Meeting up with Caitlin and Sean, I got the specifics of when, where, and how the ring was lost, then I headed into the water for the search, doing a grid pattern over the likely area that Sean had described.  Nothing turned up in the initial search area but some trash and a few coins.  In the meantime Sean and Caitlin had to depart to attend a wedding but I double checked with him about particulars before they left and then I expanded the search area.  Eventually the wind, waves, and rising tide made it difficult to maintain a stable search so I finally gave up after a couple of hours, with the intention of returning the next day.

I arrived on day 2 about an hour ahead of low tide when the water level was about the same as when Sean’s ring was lost.  Taking his clue that he had been in belly-deep water I began gridding in that range of depth to the east of the previous search.  This paid off in about 45 minutes when I dug a sweet ring signal and had Sean’s band in my scoop.  Needless to say I felt a lot better than when I had to abandon the search the previous day!

A call to Sean confirmed the identity of his ring and was greeted with expressions of joy, disbelief and astonishment.  Sharing in the experience of such commingled emotions is one of the things I love most about being able to return such a precious item to its owner.

Sean and Caitlin live off-Cape so I mailed the ring to him.  He responded with a great picture of them in front of the Bunker Hill Monument.  In this case, Victory!

Sean’s wedding band.

 

Sean & Caitlin, a happy couple at the Bunker Hill Monument in Boston.

Craigville, MA Beach Club Gives Up Lost Ring to Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

August 10, 2025 It started two days ago while Brian and his friends were frolicking in waist deep water when King Neptune admired and help Brian’s wedding band slip off his finger. All the searching was unable to find the well hidden ring for two days. Eleanor the local Metal Detector dealer would not rent the men a water detector as she well knows one is not the easiest instrument to get the desired results. She strongly suggested that Brian call a member of TheRingFinders. Brian did but I was already out searching for an-other’s ring. When I got back to my phone I called and made arrangements to meet up at 6:30AM the next morning.

I was ready to go and waited the next fine minutes for Brian and his friends to show me just were the ring had been lost. It is always most helpful to be shown in person by the person who lost the object just where the item had been lost. My searching lasted about two hours going north to south and back then a pattern of east to west and back. With nothing of interest found I started searching in diagonal patterns. Again nothing. Now the tide was coming in and I still had not found the ring. OK. I would have to come back at the next low tide.

I did not make the evening low tide as I was called about a lost necklace with a fireman’s cross medallion. I thought I could make both recovery sites, but I did not. Additionally the owner of the Beach Club had mentioned just before we left after the early morning search that they expected the beach to be very crowded in the afternoon. I knew the ring was not going anywhere so I would go in the morning when I would not have to search around a crowd of bathers.

5:30AM and I was ready to go. I went to the dry sand and did a very cursory scan in the area the guys had been sitting two days ago. The plan I had in mind was to go to the buoy in a straight line from the the sandy beach. All was going as planned until, less than a minute, my detector gave me a signal I would not refuse to dig. In the scoop I brushed away a couple handful of shells and then I saw the glitter of gold. My search was over when I saw the T/B engraved on the inside of the band.

This is another reason I never take some of the information given to me as a golden rule, after all one’s memory of loosing a ring is not always clear. Back at the car I called Brian and within 7 minutes he was wearing his wedding band again, now with a smile on his face.

Yarmouth, MA Lost Gold Necklace Returned by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

August 9, 2025 After an early morning search for a lost ring that I did not find, I received a call for help in finding a lost necklace with a fireman’s cross hanging on it. I had been a Captain in a Deep Creek, VA volunteer fire department back in the early 1970s. How could I refuse except it was only two hours before low tide and I thinking I may not be able to get out to where the necklace was lost. What the heck, I went.

I met Matt on the now crowded beach. He pointed out the area, the area he thought was the most likely to be where he lost his necklace. As the tide was coming in rapidly, I started at the deepest section and work into the shallower area. After retrieving a few iffy signals that were pull tabs and a fishing sinker. Then I heard a signal I was waiting for, I took one careful scoop, not wanting to harm the necklace, raised it to the surface and saw gold hanging onto the open edge of the scoop. It was about high tide and time to give up until the tide went out. Matt thought I was giving up for the day. He did not know I had the chain and fireman’s cross in the scoop.

Matt came to the water’s edge, not looking very happy until I let him look into the scoop and retrieve his necklace. Great thanks and praises arose from those watching what was going on. By the time I found the necklace most nearby bathers knew of Matt’s loss and why the guy in the water was just walking back and forth. Needless to say that Matt was most thankful for the return of his necklace and charm that had been given to him by his wife 10 years ago.

The real mystery is: how did the necklace come off of Matt’s neck? The clasp was still hooked, It had to have been pulled off, over his head. Perhaps by his son while riding on Matt’s shoulder. It really does not matter. What does, is the happy ending that made for smiles all around.
