Lost and found Diamond and emerald platinum ring in Madawaska Ontario

Contact:

Today’s excursion took me to beautiful Madawaska area. Received a text from Emily yesterday afternoon about her loosing her custom made engagement ring, while vacationing with her whole family at a cottage near Madawaska. She was swimming in about 10’ of water when disaster struck. Her beautiful emerald/diamond platinum ring slipped right off her finger. Quick thinking, a couple of guys grabbed a buoy, a rope and a rock and marked the approximate location where she was when the ring fell off. After multiple attempts at snorkeling/diving, they could not locate ring. After arriving and getting situated, got suited up on my Scuba gear and with he help of my underwater metal detector, I started searching for her ring. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a sandy bottom, turned out to be your typical Ontario lake condition with silt. Once the silt at the bottom gets stirred up, visibility went to zero. But, with patience and proper gridding, thirty minutes later, I was able to find her ring for her. Emily’s reaction was priceless. Another happy ending. Life is good!

Lost and found gold wedding band in Scugog Lake Ontario

Contact:

Today’s travel took me to Lake Scugog. Received a text from Doug this morning about his son having lost his gold wedding band while vacationing at a cottage on Scugog lake. Carson was swimming with his dog and while trying to pick him up, he felt his ring slip off his finger in about 5’ of water. His ring was custom made, with gold from his grand father’s ring. The good news is that he had a good idea where the ring slipped off and the bottom had barely any weeds and not too much silt to contend with. Was a quick recovery, perhaps fifteen minutes, and Carson was extremely happy to get his ring back on his finger. Another happy ending. Life is good!

Lost Titanium Dental Post Found in Brighton Michigan

Bob’s Got His Smile Back……

While out doing yard chores Bob went into an allergic sneezing frenzy. Falling to the ground he eventually was able to stand up and went into the house to get a cool drink. While enjoying cooling down he noticed his dental post missing. He ran back out and looked around but couldn’t see it and wondered where it went. While on the phone I said it was me Vs. the tooth fairy. While laughing he said he’d rather have his dental post back instead of money under his pillow. On site I started a grid search in the area where he remembers falling down. The ground was very clean with no junk signals. About 10 minutes into the search, I got a good signal and detector meter read of a very small, shallow item. Moving the grass around revealed Bob’s dental post compressed into the ground, probably from him walking or falling onto it he said. Happy he was to get his smile back and happy that the tooth fairy won’t be visiting tonight!

Wedding/Engagement Ring Lost in the Surf, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On 7/31/25 and just before 2 pm, I received a text saying, “Hi Jim. My name is Jennifer B and I lost my wedding/engagement ring about an hour ago in front of the Sand Castle Ocean Front Resort South Beach. I was about thigh deep in the ocean and got wiped out by a wave and lost the ring. Sending a picture. Thank you!” I checked the tide tables and figure she lost it about 45 minutes before high tide. By now the tide would have turned. By the time I’d get there it’d be a couple hours past high tide and easily researchable. I called the number attached to the text and spoke with Jennifer. I got a few more details and told her I’d be there in about 30-35 minutes. She agreed and I was on my way.

When I arrived, I easily found a place to park and walked on the beach. I called Jennifer telling her I was on the beach, and she directed me to where she was. When we met, she explained what had happened and looking at the conditions I completely understood how she lost it. Mother Nature wasn’t in a good mood; the sea breeze had picked up enough to blow the waves straight into the beach. There was also a tough at the bottom of the slope which meant the waves were crashing right where I thought her ring would be. I started a grid search both parallel and perpendicular to the shoreline and wasn’t having any luck. Twice, I tried to venture into the tough and both times waves knocked me flat. There were people including Jennifer, trying to help me get up and grab my detector and scoop. I wasn’t having any fun at this point. There were still a few hours before low tide, so I decided to call it for now and come back later. I apologized to Jennifer for not finding it but didn’t say I was coming back at that point. I needed to check the home front and grab some dinner for the wife and me. Just before low tide, I text Jennifer saying I was going back to try again and hit the road. I arrived back right at low tide and the conditions were much better. I started a grid search at the north end of the search area and about mid tide. I was able to make my way out to waist deep. My 3rd line, I hit a solid 11 on the VDI (visual display indicator), exactly what I expected for a lady’s Platinum ring. One scoop and I had it out of the hole, gently shook the sand out and saw her ring. I took a quick picture, sent it to Jennifer and said “Bingo.” I also asked where she was, and I’d bring it to her. I called her and found out her and the 4 ladies she was vacationing with were at a local restaurant, so I was on my way. I met Jennifer and her emotional response was priceless.

Jennifer – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure and get it back where it belongs.

Diamond Stud Earring Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Ocean Isle Beach, NC

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

On 7/29/25 just before noon, I got a call from Nancy saying she had lost a Diamond Stud Earring on the beach and wondered if I could help find it. My first question was if it was lost in the dry sand. She responded it was. I only have one detector that can find stud earrings, my Gold Bug 2, and it’s useless in wet sand or the ocean because of the mineralization. Plus, there’s just a small post on stud earrings and it’s usually not enough metal for most detectors. So, I felt we had a good chance of finding her earring. I was just finishing up my yard work and told her I could be there in about 45 minutes. She agreed. Enroute to the beach, I called her asking if I could park in her driveway. Parking isn’t easy on the beach communities. She sent me her address and directions out to the beach to where she was.

When I arrived, it was a quick walk out to the beach to where Nancy was set up. She showed me the area. She explained that a bug was on her ear and when she went to brush it away, she hit her ear and the earring flew off. Before I got started, I asked if she had the other earring that I could test. She did, which made it a lot easier. I tweaked the Gold Bug detector and started searching a 5×5 foot plus area. To help me sift the sand, I brought along a child’s sand sifter with tiny holes. I got a few targets that turned out to be very tiny pieces of aluminum. I must have tested her other earring 4-5 times to make sure I was able to detect it. Finally, I got a signal that was good enough to check out. I laid down in the sand, ran the sifter under the small area and filled up the sifter with sand. I started feeling through the sand and uncovered Nancy’s earring. I was as shocked as Nancy was when I handed her earring back. She told me that her husband had gotten her those earrings when they were in Grad school and before they got married. She also said how they were very sentimental and special to her.

Nancy – Thank you for allowing me to help find your lost treasure. Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Lost and found wedding and engagement diamond rings in Rice Lake Ontario

Contact:

Today’s travel took me to Beautiful Rice Lake Ontario for a wedding band and diamond engagement rings. Received a text from Steve this morning about Robyn loosing her rings last night while having a swim at their cottage in about 4’ 1/2 of water. After all the usual questions, I gathered all my gear and headed down their way. Once there, Steve was very detailed about when and where Robyn felt her rings come off. However, with years of metal targets in the area, under water, it made it somewhat challenging. After forty five minutes or so, I finally was able to see her gorgeous rings in my scoop, which I promptly handed to Steve to give to Robyn. She was extremely happy which made another great happy ending. Life is good!

Lost Silver Cross w/ Diamonds Found in Ann Arbor Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

A Gift from a Friend……

…..was something Kwame was not expecting. For being a person who wore no jewelry he was totally taken by surprise when presented with a silver cross w/ diamonds. Lots of his friends and family thought it complemented him and completed his style. But one day he was in a volleyball tournament and right after a huddle and play began the next thing he knew was the cross was missing! Nearing dark, he was able to find the chain that held the cross, but the cross itself went unrecovered. I started a grid search with my MXT metal detector and came across a few junk items. Quite a distance away from where he found the chain I got a very nice signal with the metal detector underneath some heavy looking footprints in the sand. Moving a few inches of sand revealed Kwame’s silver cross! His jaw dropped in amazement as he saw it in my hand! His friend didn’t know it, but now it’s back on where it belongs and can continue to be displayed with pride!

Lost Gold Ring Found in Utica Michigan

Down the Rabbit Hole…..

…… began with Joe’s new yard project. The gravel he ordered after he tore up some grass didn’t show up and throughout the day tools went missing and machinery malfunctioned. To escalate matters his wedding ring fell off his finger and he didn’t know where in the yard it was. I did a grid search with my MXT metal detector where he said he was working but nothing came up. Going out further from the house I got a good signal in the wet grass and as I moved around it my foot slipped into a slight dip in the ground almost twisting my ankle. Reaching into the dip in the ground my pin pointer metal detector went off. Parting the grass back revealed Joe’s ring! His back was turned to me but as I yelled to him, he came running over and said that he had filled the rabbit hole in a while ago after the bunny’s left and said it must have settled leaving a small divot. Super Happy to be Out of the Rabbit Hole, Joe took a nice long look at his ring realizing that even tho this journey down the rabbit hole was over, he now had a deeper understanding of what’s important and that the rabbit hole is only as deep as you make it!

White Gold Wedding Set Lost in Pool Area – Found and Returned Cherry Grove SC

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

On 7/22/25, I received a text from Kendra just after 6:30 am saying, “Hello. Hope I’m not waking you. What do you charge to search for a missing ring? We’re staying in Cherry Grove. I believe I lost my ring while playing volleyball in the pool.”  It was a couple of hours later before I saw her text. I told her how my services work including the St. Jude’s donation I make with any money I get. She responded back that “we’re here until Saturday. I would love help finding it. We have obviously looked a lot lol, but no luck.” I called her and got more details and told her I could be there within the hour; I had a couple of things to do. I also ask for the address, which she sent.

When I got to the rental she was staying, I text her saying “Here.” She text back that she was by the pool. When we met, she advised me that they had checked the pool and surrounding area. Unfortunately, there was a metal fence surrounding the pool area. Luckily, I had brought my gold bug with a small coil and my pin pointer. I searched all along the parameter and came up with nothing but trash. I noticed a couple of bushes inside the fence with rocks as landscape, so I checked all around those. At this point, I was out of options and stopped to talk with Kendra. As we’re talking, Kendra said, “What is that?” I turned around to look and there was Kendra’s beautiful white gold wedding set laying on the concrete in plain view. I reached down and picked it up and handed it to Kendra. There was absolutely no explanation as to how the rings were just laying there. Thinking back on it, in the process of looking along the inside of the fence, I did move a couple of chairs a little to get them out of the way, but nothing major. We’ll never know for sure how Kendra’s rings ended up in plain view. The important thing is they’re back on Kendra’s finger where they belong.

Kendra – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure, however it happened!!

Jim
