Family heirlooom wedding band set recovered!

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

This recovery was a bit unique in the ammount of attention it received thanks to social media. I was tagged in a facebook post by a friend of a woman desperatley pleading for assistance recovering a wedding band set that was lost at the beach a few days prior. This facebook post was shared over 12,ooo times, YES 12,000 times! After making contact with the client and getting details I headed up to search for the set. This beach was about two hours from my normal search area but the client was very distraught so I decided to give it a go. I arrived at the beach around 6pm on August 3rd. This beach showed signs of extreme sand mvement, which is never a good sign as targets can be buried and moved along the beach in just one tide passing. After searching for several hours I got a tone I was hoping for and out popped the missing wedding band. I searched for over two more hours for the engagement band but was not able to locate it. Two other fellow Ring Finders were going to search for the second band the next day.  fter four hours of searching they too were unable to locate the missing engagement band. A day later a fourth detectorist offered assistance and it was also noted that several feet of sand had been carried off of the same beach by the previous tide cycle. The fourth detectorist was able to find the engagement band after a hour or so long search in the same area previously searched. BTW: I believe another Ring Finder has been created after he (detectorist #4) got a chance to see the reaction of the client being reuinted with the engagement band.

***** please please please share this post!!!*****
Today was a very hard day for me. I went to the beach with my family and it was a great time! Until I lost my wedding band and engagement ring in the water. I didn’t even feel it fall off, but I am completely distraught over this. For those of you that don’t know my engagement ring was my mothers that me and my family had redone. My mother passed away 30 years ago when I was a little girl. This ring I never took off for anything. We are offering a reward to anyone that finds the set or just the engagement ring! They both had diamonds around the whole thing with a little space underneath with no diamonds for sizing, the engagement ring was Marquise am seriously hoping for a miracle I know that it may. It happen but I am begging if someone does find it please please return it it means the world to me. Here a some pictures from my wedding day of the rings. We were at manasquan beach in NJ.

This recovery also took place August 8th in Ocean City. It took longer to walk onto the beach than it did to find the ring. The client was ecstatic as was her husband.

Clients review of service: « Jeff reassured us from the beginning. He was prompt, could NOT have been more kind, and found my ring in less than 10 minutes!! He is amazing. As a jewelry professional, I can truly appreciate the value of his services, but just as important is his earnest approach to this process. »

Mends Gold wedding band RECOVERED!

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Client had lost his white gold band after it slipped out of his cup holder on his beach chair while rinsing it off at the end of the day Tuesday. On Thursday the client and a couple friends rented a detector to attempt to locate the ring themselves. Having no luck on their own, they chose to reach out for assistance. After speaking with Mark I took the short ride up to Ocean City and met with the group. Searched for about an hour and a half with no luck, shortly after everyone had left the beach I ended up snagging the band in the bottom of a ripple trough pool. Another happy couple.

Clients review of service: « So grateful for all of your hard work today! We can now end our vacation on a happy note thanks to you! »

Platinum diamond wedding band RECOVERED!

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

I was tagged in a Facebook group post regarding a women that had lost her ring on the beach the previous day. After being contacted by the client I strongly recommended that we needed to search for this ring ASAP as items in the dry sand are far more vulnerable to being picked up by a freelance Detectorist during the summer months.  I gathered some additional details & headed down to the beach to take a look. After about an hour or so of searching I was able to pick this beautiful platinum diamond band out of the sand around 10:45 PM.

Clients review of service: « Jeff is an angel. He searched for my wedding band late at night and found it! I’m eternally grateful for his kindness. »

Lost Ring 8 Carats of Diamond and Sapphire Eastern Point Beach, Groton CT… Found!

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

Wayne’s Barber Shop is a contemporary hotspot with the most attention to detail haircut on the east coast. A loss like this one would be devastating to any atmosphere as cool as this one – finding and returning this ring was an extremely important task. One Sunday evening in late July 2017 I received a message from my friend and owner of Wayne’s Barber Shop, Groton, CT regarding his lost ring with a circa 1910 3¾ carat diamond and 2¼ carat sapphires. He was cooling off in the water at Eastern Point Beach, Groton CT when one of his most sentimental pieces of jewelry dropped into the waist-deep water. It took a minute for the reality of losing his ring to sink in. After desperately searching by hand while at the same time trying to avoid drawing the attention of the other beachgoers, he realized the ring was lost. Thinking quickly, he didn’t want to lose the location of the lost ring so he used his foot to mark a line as he exited the water into the dry sand. Getting back to the beach chair, he immediately contacted a couple of different people. He contacted me, sent a message to his brother (who had a mask and snorkel) and he even contacted the ring designer, Mystic Gem Company of Mystic CT.  Within the hour we were all standing on the beach together discussing the details of how this very special diamond and sapphire ring was lost. His location on the beach where he entered the water was marked by his line in the sand and the distance off the beach was noted by his memory of the waist-deep water. We determined the tide was going out so the lost ring would be in shallower water at this point. He waited patiently on the beach as his brother finished up the snorkel and mask search and I began searching with a metal detector. With an eager crowd starting to form on the beach, the pressure was on as I retrieved bottle caps, pull tabs, and other items discarded by past beachgoers. After 20 minutes of searching, I pulled a scoop of rocks from the knee-deep water and gently dumped it onto the beach. Someone yelled, “there it is!” I’ve seen a lot of rings, but the ring that rolled out of my scoop this time was the most stunning piece of jewelry I’d ever seen. Another lost ring found and reunited with its owner!

Lost a piece of jewelry on the beach? Lost a ring in the tidal area where the water level changes throughout the day? If a ring is lost in the surf, use a physical reference to mark two key points: mark the location along the beach and mark the distance out into the water from the beach. Jewelry is commonly lost during our favorite summertime activities. Don’t waste your time with a metal detector rental or with a local hobbyist, have a professional member of The Ring Finders find you lost ring or jewelry. If you lost a piece of jewelry, contact me now through www.TheRingFinders.com or www.metaldetectionkeithwille.com or call/text 860-917-8947.

Lost Wedding Ring Was Found In Ocean City NJ

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

          Dave posted this on his facebook page!

I lost my wedding ring in the Atlantic Ocean this afternoon at 1:45pm.

Unfortunately, Donna asked if I wanted her to hold it for me on the walk down and I said something to the effect of, « Nah. It’s not going to fall off. »

So about 2 minutes in the water and it falls off. I never felt that attached to it other than it being my wedding ring. Until I lost it and I felt terrible. Maybe some of that was the feeling that Donna somehow knew that it was going to happen. We looked for awhile but there was no way we were finding it. Every bump on the floor turned out to be a rock or shell. I paced around for a little bit and then decided just to go home. Then I wondered if there was a site I could post a photo of my ring just in case someone ever found it.

That’s when I stumbled on theringfinders.com. I sent a message on Facebook (2:45pm) and about 5 minutes later, John Favano sent me his phone number to give him a call. At 3:07pm (just checked my phone log) we briefly talked. So now, I was waiting on a guy that may or may not show up and may or may not find a wedding ring in THE Atlantic Ocean if and when he got here. Then, my phone rings, John says that he is at the beach and to come meet him. We are off to a good start all things considered.

All week, we were talking about how small the beach has become over the years but walking over the dune I never remember it seeming so big. There was no chance we were finding it. At least when it is lost for good, I will have the satisfaction that I at least I tried everything I could think of. Donna and I are at the beach with John pointing out where I am pretty sure I lost it. Thanks to the dude that made sand dolphins btw.

John is walking a grid from the beach all the way into the water about chest deep. From the beach into the water…back to the beach and then back into the water. He stopped to dig a few times but nothing. Then he looks up and asks me what my ring looks like. This dude found my ring less than 4 hours after it fell off.

That is unbelievable!                                                                                 Call John Favano!

TheRingfinders Metal Detectors has helped reunite a wedding ring set with their owners. What a miracle behind the story for this search  recoverying such precious stones that contains a Large sentimental piece of monetarily valued metals and gemstones.

 

July 17th I noticed an add online in the San Diego Lost and found while googling. A lady who lost her wedding ring on or near Cardiff beach had needed some dire help.I emailed her to see if there was a chance myself Curtis Cox/a Member of TheRingFinders could help find this with a Metal detector and if it could be simply buried in the sand at one of many places the rings could of been lost during that particular day. She emailed me back right away and asked me what I charge and some details of when/where the rings could of disappeared. I replied to her  with the honesty of what I do and The link to Theringfinders sight where I have many story’s of successful recovery’s to read.

I have rescued many Rings for Free especially for The military and ALL service members who protect and serve our Great Country.  I do not have a charge to help, Sometimes I am offered a reward,Tip,Present or any Gratuity they can afford but No matter the Cost,I Volunteer my time regardless of the dollar figure,Item lost. I am blessed with very good Karma in addition to the Piece of mind that comes with in these hunts.

Later that day Brenda and I had chose a good time to meet that afternoon plus to rule out if these rings may of still been naturally buried in the wet/dry sand or lost along the roadway in the city where they had walked.

After going over fine details of where,when and how it was lost I prepared to get my feet wet and started in the most pro dominant area where it may have fell first,The waters edge where they moved a wagon and belonging’s after the High tide was moving in.

Roughly 20min after brenda headed home with her newborn in the hot sun I had dug up an obvious pennie sound,Then after a similar but distinctive tone 6-8″ deep in wet sand just  happened to be a tiny 14k band loaded with diamonds.I emediatly sent her a picture asking if she had lost 1 or 2 rings?? I did not know she had lost 2 rings until Brenda responded via text there was Two..and I had just found the band…Oh wow. Extatic we both may of been so I geared up my equipment again and scanned 3′ from the first ring and heard a crystal clear familiar sound then dug up the Main Motherload diamond ring!

I contacted Brenda with the good news & she drove back down there with a big Smile.😀.

I hope one day the world will know there are Metal detecting guys From Theringfinders all over the globe out there with a generously big heart and the skills needed to help locate and return your lost Precious Ring.
