Christina and Derrick on their Wedding Day!

As Christina and Derrick were standing on the dock, her car key fob dropped and bounced into an opening, right into the water. The Penguin Paddling staff tried using a powerful magnet but couldn’t retrieve the keys. I got the call, packed my equipment, and arrived within half an hour.

Christina described how the key fob bounced and perfectly hit the water, right where two of the floating docks have a space of about six inches. After an exhaustive attempt at magnet fishing, they called me.

I dropped a weighted line from the dock where the key fob hit the water. I put on my SCUBA gear, descended and started my search from the drop area. It was dark and I was glad I had my underwater light. Within a minute I found it!

After I climbed back on the dock, we ascertained the inside of the key fob was dry and ready to be used to start the car. It was only then that Derrick and Christina told me they were in a hurry to get to the courthouse before it closed…TO GET MARRIED!!!

2 Rings Lost in Minnesota Lake One Recovered.

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)

Happily reunited

Back where it belongs

I received a call from a party that mentioned that he and his wife had taken their rings off to not loose them when they were going into a lake swimming.  The rings were put into the pocket of a swim suit.  Later after coming out of the water both, his and her rings were missing. These folk where in Minnesota staying at a vacation rental on a lake about 65 miles north of St. Paul. They went home back to Milwaukee totally heartbroken. They had no idea how to find the rings and contemplated buying a metal detector and driving back to find the rings. Following doing some research they came across the ring finders web site and found my name. They called and were quite surprised that there was people that look for lost rings on the internet.  They were even more surprised to find someone that could go up and look for the rings and they did not have to go back to Minnesota to recover their rings.

There was another group on the property and we had to wait.until they left before searching. But eventually the property was vacated and I went in and searched for the rings. It took about 3 hours and many signals that you find in lakes. Bottle caps, fishing lures and weights, old beer cans and old bait cans. But I finally got a hit that was strong and clean. I knew it was a ring before scooping it up. Yes, it was his ring. I found one of the two missing rings.  I continued to search really hitting the area that I found the one hoping that they fell out together. But no luck. So I finished up out in the water and swept the yard and again came up empty.  While it was not the perfect outcome, I can always go back and try again and see if I can get lucky one more time.  Congratulations  on getting 1 of 2 back.

Lost wedding ring found in Leawood

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

Ed was raking leaves in his front yard when he realized his wedding ring was missing.  The harder he searched, the stronger that sinking feeling gripped the pit of his stomach.  He contacted me and the next morning I arrived at his home.  After our initial conversation, I gridded the front yard, but got no result. Next, we focused on the leaf bags.  Sure enough, the second bag came back with a signal.  Emptying the bag, small segments at a time, the target eventually found its way out of the bag and into that pile of leaves.  The pin-pointer did the rest and another discouraged customer was thrilled to have his ring back in hand.

Lost truck keys found and recovered from Saratoga Lake, NY

  • from Saratoga Springs (New York, United States)
Contact:

Matt called me at 6pm and said he had dropped  his ONLY truck key and faub  into the water which was about 4 feet deep as he was getting out of his boat and onto the dock.  He had searched for a long time but was unable to find it. I rushed down to the lake immediately as it was a race against daylight. The bottom of the lake was all muck and weeds. Not a good situation. I decided to go in without the detector and just use the probe but that only stirred up more cloudy muck which would only bury it deeper. I abandoned the probe and I chose to make a visual search  trying not to touch the bottom.  Because I was moving so slowly and carefully, I could not stay down near the bottom so I asked Matt if he had a weight of some kind to hold me down. He had a small 6lb anchor which did the trick. After 20 minutes I saw what looked like a glint of the key ring sticking out of the mud.  I had found the key.  We were both thrilled and very lucky!  It would have been an expensive nightmare for Matt to have the truck towed and get a new key made from the dealership (without a spare) to make it from. A very happy ending.

Diamond Wedding Ring Found for Owner, Falmouth Heights Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Shelby wisely removed her conjoined engagement/wedding rings and put them in her pocket when she and her family went to enjoy some time on the beach.  Unfortunately, when she later slid her hand into her pocket to retrieve the rings, there was only the heart-rending realization that they were gone.  She had stowed her cell phone in the same pocket, and she felt it was very likely that the rings had come out and dropped in the sand at the same time she had pulled out her phone.  Her mother called Falmouth’s Mitchell Bathhouse to seek help, and they informed her about the RingFinders and provided her with my name.  I received a call the next morning and half an hour later met Shelby and her sister at the beach, ready to hear her story and see if I could replace the gloomy faces with happy smiles.

Shelby and her sister showed me the location where the family had been on the previous day, which now included some morning beach goers.  When these folks heard the story of the lost rings they very kindly moved a couple of times to make sure I was able to cover the full area in my search.  I did several beach-parallel swaths, finding a few trash items, but within a half hour or so heard the sweet signal of success and soon Shelby’s rings were in my scoop.  I walked over to her, letting her look into the scoop and remove the rings while I had the great pleasure of watching the joy burst across her face.

As it turns out, the large diamond in the engagement ring had quite a story.  I’ll let Shelby tell the story:

« As I mentioned yesterday, this ring has been in my husband’s family for over 60 years.  The stone was found when his great uncle was on a walk and saw it on the side of the road.  Being a jeweler he took care of it, cleaned it up, and reset it on a band.  The ring stuck with his family passed down to his grandmother, then his mother, and finally to me.  My husband had the stone reset onto a new band working closely with a jeweler to give me something special for me.

I’ve been wearing this ring for 2 years since our wedding and it means everything to me.  There is simply no replacing it.

I’m so grateful that you came out within a half hour of calling and found it as quickly as you did.  I can’t thank you enough.

We jokingly talked afterward that you’re having found the ring and having so many friendly vacationers cheering and clapping was almost better than the engagement itself (haha).  You are truly incredible.

From being found on the side of the road in California and again on Falmouth Heights beach decades later, I’d call this the luckiest ring ever. »

Thank you, Shelby, for the opportunity to be added to saga of this ring!

 

Shelby with her ring – a very happy young lady!

 

Shelby’s mated wedding and engagement rings.

 

Smiles of success!

Lost Wedding Ring Found on Narragansett RI Town Beach

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

I received a call from Jake, who lost his wedding ring on the beach the day before while vacationing with his wife.  The couple is from out of town and planned to leave the next day. They had only been married eight months.  He was frantic to find his ring and asked for my help.  I asked a friend to help with the search for Jake’s ring.  We searched the beach area, where Jake and his wife were, for about two hours and couldn’t find the ring.  My friend had to leave, but I didn’t stop searching.  Jake said that he was carrying chairs and other things to the beach so I searched the area where you enter the beach….still no luck.  Jake thanked me for trying and left the beach.  I persisted and did a grid search of the large area where you enter the beach.  In the third row of the grid, I found Jake’s ring and was excited to call him with the good news.  He was still in the parking lot and rushed back to the beach.  Jake couldn’t believe that I found his ring.  He was ecstatic!

I received a call from Steven who lost his wedding ring while doing yard work.  He asked for my help and identified where he had been working in the yard.  Coincidentally, he connected with me through his future daughter in law, a former co-worker of my wife.  She knew that I was a member of The Ring Finders (TheRingFinders.com) and could help him.  Steven and his wife thought the ring was lost forever until their future daughter in law told them about my services and were convinced that they would have to buy another ring. I went to their home and found Steven’s ring and in about twenty minutes.  He was very happy to have his ring back.

Lost – Lady’s Custom Diamond Wedding Set, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

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

Late Friday evening, I received a text from Lindsay, who said she had lost her wedding ring at New Smyrna Beach. She and her family had spent the day there, and she had placed her ring in the pocket of her shorts. Shortly after, she realized it was missing—it could have been on the beach or in the water.  I replied to her text and told her to call me with the details anytime.

Early the next morning, I arrived at daybreak, just after low tide.  As I made my way to the beach, a lady noticed my equipment and cheerfully said, “Happy treasure hunting!” I replied, “I’m actually searching for something someone lost.” She responded kindly, “Then I’ll say a prayer to St. Anthony.” I thanked her and got to work.

Lindsay had sent pictures to help pinpoint the area. I quickly covered all the dry sand and the area leading down to the water. As the tide started to rise and the surf grew more active, I decided to come back at the next low tide, this time with my friend, Brian.

When we returned, a massive storm had just passed. We wasted no time getting back to the search. Brian used his XP Deus 2, while I had my Minelab Manticore. We methodically swept the same area I had focused on earlier. As the storm intensified and lightning flashed around us, I headed north. Just then, Brian, with a hopeful tone, said, “Ok, St. Anthony, what do you have for me?”

Almost immediately, he got a hit—it was the ring! I quickly texted Lindsay pictures of the find and followed up with a call. Her joyous shouts echoed through the phone. Soon after, the beautiful ring was back in her hands, where it belonged

This morning, I got a call from Lauren, a Chicago visitor who’d been enjoying Broad Beach in Malibu with her family the day before. To protect her wedding ring while swimming, she’d placed it in the cupholder of a beach chair. But when the chair was moved, the ring flew into the sand. Hours of searching on hands and knees across Broad Beach—near spots like Zuma Beach and Point Dume Beach—left them empty-handed and frustrated.

One quick scoop, and Lauren’s wedding ring was back in hand—a swift win for lost ring recovery in Malibu!
