Unearthing Lost Treasures: A Rincon Beach Wedding Ring Recovery Tale

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

Recently, I received a frantic call from Arthur, who found himself in the unfortunate predicament of losing his cherished platinum Tiffany’s wedding ring at Rincon Beach in North Ventura. Despite being thousands of miles away in Hawaii, his distress was palpable as he recounted the ring slipping off his finger during a playful moment with a friend’s dog at the beach. With determination in my heart, I set out on a mission to reunite Arthur with his beloved symbol of love and commitment.

Navigating through the sprawling expanse of Rincon Beach, I was met with a familiar sight: a shoreline littered with remnants of carelessly discarded bottle caps, a testament to the beachgoers’ revelry. Undeterred by the prospect of sorting through the debris, I embarked on a meticulous search, fueled by the hope of uncovering Arthur’s lost treasure.

Despite the daunting task ahead, perseverance proved to be the key as I diligently combed through the sands, guided by Arthur’s description and a few invaluable photographs provided by his friends. With each scoop, the anticipation grew until, finally, a faint but promising low tone echoed through the air. With bated breath, I unearthed the elusive ring, nestled among the sand and bottle caps, a gleaming beacon of hope amidst the debris.

A call and text swiftly confirmed the ring’s identity, and I assured Arthur that his precious possession would be safely kept until his return from Hawaii. Today, amidst the gentle sea breeze and the soft caress of the sun, Arthur’s story continued as his cherished ring found its way back to his finger, symbolizing a continuation of his journey.

While time may often be of the essence in such situations, luck and perseverance can also play pivotal roles in the recovery of lost treasures. Whether lost for days or weeks, rest assured that no stone will be left unturned in the quest to reunite you with your cherished jewelry. Don’t hesitate to reach out at 805-290-5009, and together, we can embark on a journey to reclaim what was once lost.

Lost Rose Gold Ring in House Found with Dowsing Rod in Mt. Clemens Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

A Rose Between 2 Tee Shirts?……

….Got a call early this morning from Bri. She stated that somehow, somewhere her engagement ring went missing about 1am. On the way out I learned that she remembered putting it in her shirt pocket and just before falling into bed the shirt went into a clothes hamper. She searched the hamper and nothing was there. On site I noticed 2 piles of clothes close together. Assembling my dowsing rod, baiting it with gold to help form an attraction and extending the antenna I swept the rod to cover the whole room. From about 8 feet away the rod locked onto the clothes pile on the left. Grabbing my Garrett pinpointer metal detector we started to lift and scan thru the clothes. A few articles of clothing down the pinpointer buzzed, but it had buzzed on the zippers/snaps prior. Lifting a tee shirt off the pile revealed this gorgeous custom design rose gold ring with diamonds! Bri was stunned that her ring was not anywhere near what she remembered but thankful that a rose between 2 thorns can take on many forms!

Shawn SGT Sherrill – Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Call/Text ASAP  Anytime 24/7   918-313-2202

Did a ring recovery today. Ring was a custom made gold ring, no marking. It had been lost for two years. Returned to the owner at his business “GARDEN SUPPLY COMPANY” in Cary NC.
He’s a bee keeper too and was tending to some bees when some got under his hood. As he rare back and swatted from behind the ring went flying backwards, he thought forward, so I spent most of my time searching in that area. After about 2 hours and no luck, I decided to spread my search out.
After about another 30-40 mins and digging everything! I get a 51-53 signal! I barely put my digging tool in the ground and I see shiny edge pop up. Pluck it out and BOOM GOLD RING BABY!!!

  • from Jacksonville (North Carolina, United States)

Shawn SGT Sherrill – Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Call/Text ASAP  Anytime 24/7   918-313-220

So last night I got a call from a gentleman’s employee, who found me on “The Ring-finders” page, about his boss that lost his wallet at a construction site, while removing a stump with an excavator yesterday evening, on my way home from digging. I couldn’t do it yesterday, because of work.
After getting the details from Don (owner) he said the only metal he could think of that he had in his wallet was two AMEX titanium credit cards.
We agreed to do it first thing this morning. I get to the site and his business partner met up with me at the lot where the wallet was lost. 30 mins later BOOM recovered his wallet, loaded with credit cards, DL and his concealed and carry license.
Owner chose not to produce a photo of himself holding the wallet.

Lost Ring Orange Beach, AL – FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

The first ring recovery of the year is always special but this one was awesome for multiple reasons!  Not only did I get to put a wedding band back on someone’s hand where it belongs but I also got to take a picture without worrying about a mask in over a year. This first call of the season happened to be the exact day that I could consider myself vaccinated from COVID after getting my second shot 2 weeks earlier. Yesterday evening, my new friend Mary called and said that she and her husband had come down from Birmingham with the family to enjoy Spring Break. Her husband had been playing beach volleyball the afternoon before when he noticed his Wedding band was no longer on his hand. He wasn’t 100% sure that it had come off then but after having it on for 14 years he was pretty sure he felt it go flying in the sand. They quickly realized that a metal detector was a good idea and they went and purchased one. Unfortunately, they ran into the two problems that often occur with this solution. #1)- the detectors designed to be used on our saltwater beaches are very expensive and unfortunately the cheaper ones can be almost useless. #2)- when the machine starts beeping a lot, without years of practice it can be hard to decipher what you are listening to. They then proceeded to plan B where they dug in the sand for hours hoping to find it. This also usually ends up being a bad idea because that will actually just make the ring drop deeper into the sand and harder to find. Luckily a friend suggested me and Mary gave me a call. After talking for a bit, my wife and I headed that way and made it to Orange Beach before the sun set. It made for some great, happy pictures when less than 10 minutes later I was able to gently scoop up her husbands wedding band and return it to her. Mary FaceTime’d her husband and we all celebrated. I am so very glad that they reached out to me and I’m so glad that I was able to start out the 2021 ring return season with a huge smile. Thank you Mary for trusting me to find your husband’s ring.

Man’s Wedding Band Lost, Found, and Returned on Oak Island, NC

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

Ring and Jewelry Metal Detecting Recovery Service. Call Jim ASAP!  843-655-5889

On Friday, March 12th, I was out doing some metal detecting on the beach after a long spell of being stuck in the house due to COVID-19. After finishing up, and with little to show for my efforts, I checked my cell phone for any calls or text messages. I had a text from Travis that said in part, “Jim – have a silver ring Lola red somewhere in an azalea bush on Oak Island at my in-laws house. Let’s touch base and see what your availability is when you have a moment. Thanks!”  This was my first lost ring call for 2021 and I was ready. I called Travis and asked what the situation was. He stated that he had lost his ring almost a year ago in some azalea bushes. I told him I had nothing going on and could be there in a couple of hours. He said he’d text his mother-in-law and let her know I was coming. In the meantime, I did a quick Google search to get an idea on what type ring I was looking for and get an idea of what numbers on the detector to look for.

When I got to his in-laws house, I knocked on the door and met Travis’ father-in-law, Bill. We introduced ourselves and he showed me the bushes where the ring was supposed to be. I asked how the ring ended up in the bushes. Bill said that Travis had been cleaning out a bucket and when Travis threw the water from the bucket into the bushes, the ring went with the water. Bill also stated that he had used a metal detector himself but wasn’t able to find the ring. I grabbed my Equinox 800 and pin pointer out of the car and went to work. The back of the bushes were accessible so I was able to work the detector in and around the low hanging branches and over some roots. Within just a couple of minutes, I hit a target showing a solid 14 on the 800 VDI (visual display indicator). I wasn’t positive I had Travis’ ring because with the description I got from him and my Google search, I expected a higher VDI number. I learned a long time ago that with all the different metals and percentages of metals being used to make rings and other jewelry, things don’t ring up on a metal detector like you’re expecting. Also, if I’m looking for someone’s lost treasure; every signal I get needs to be checked. Because of all the low branches, I wasn’t able to get to the target from where I was. I marked the spot with a stick and made my way to the front of the bushes. I was able to crawl far enough under the bush that I could use the pin pointer to find the target. I moved some dead leaves and Bingo! I took a quick picture and sent it to Travis asking “is this it?” Within seconds he texted me back saying “That is it!”

I called him and asked if he wanted me to mail his ring home or leave it with his father-in-law, he told me to leave the ring with his father-in-law and he’d pick it up the following week.

Travis – Thanks for trusting The Ring Finders and me to help find your lost treasure.

Lost Cartier Diamond Love Bracelet Found in South Kingstown Rhode Island

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

I received a call for help from Jen, after she lost her diamond Cartier bracelet somewhere on her 10-acre farm.  I told Jen that I would be happy to search for her bracelet the next day, which happened to be St. Patrick’s Day.  My wife accompanied me on the search.  Jen thought she may have lost it while she was feeding the farm animals.  My search included the outside pens and inside stalls of the horses, goats, and chickens but no bracelet was found.  After I confirmed that she had cleaned the animal stalls recently,  Jen directed me to an area at the far end of the property where wood chips and animal waste are dumped.  I searched this area and located half of the two-piece bracelet.   The second half could not be found in this same area.  I believed that it would probably be the areas where the animals are kept or where the hay and feed are stored.  I reminded my wife to keep an eye on the ground as it could be sitting there in plain sight.  Jen and I went to the pod where she keeps hay for the animals and went inside to search inside the storage container.  That’s when my wife looked down and found the other half of the bracelet sitting on top of  the ground in plain sight right outside the pod.  My wife and I were so excited and amazed that both halves of the bracelet were found and in different locations on this large property.  Jen was thrilled to have her bracelet back!  It was a very happy and lucky St. Patrick’s Day all around!

 

Lost White Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Nanakuli Beach Park…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)


This ring find began when I got a call from Lexi who lives in Kapolei and hails from Marietta, Georgia. After returning from the water at Nanakuli Beach Park Lexi picked up her towel to dry off and then realized she had placed her White Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring on the towel before she entered the ocean. A thorough visual search of the dry sand area and the ring was hopelessly gone. I told Lexi I’d grab my gear and head that way but Google maps was showing a 30 minute delay due to freeway construction. She assured me she wasn’t going anywhere and that her father was in route to help her watch her baby daughter. I’ve only hunted this beach one other time years ago so Lexi waved me down from the parking lot as I drove by. When we got down to the beach she drew a box in the sand where she thought the ring would be and possibly where her current beach blanket was. I fired up the Nox and as I approached the beach blanket I got a nice #8 under the blanket. Lexi moved the blanket away and since diamonds were involved I grabbed my pinpointer and plunged it into the sand and got an immediate tone. I reached for the tip of the probe and could feel Lexi’s ring at the tip. As the ring broke the surface Lexi shouted, « That’s it! I can’t believe you found it so quick. » Nice easy search! Aloha to Lexi, Daughter and Dad!

Custom platinum wedding ring found in Denver yard

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)

Tom and Jamie were shoveling snow from our recent record snow storm from the sidewalk that goes from their back door to their garage. Jamie decided that this was the perfect time to make a snow angel. After getting up from the snow Jamie shook the snow from her arms and hands. In doing such Jamie’s wedding ring went flying off her hand and it disappeared into the snow with no indication on where it went. They tried a brief search for her ring but then realized that they needed some help that is when they found my profile on TheRingFinders.com.

Tom sent me a text message asking if there was a possibility that I could help them. We made arrangements to talk via phone after he was done with work. During that conversation I learned of the circumstances of the loss of the ring and I agreed to come search. I prepped my gear and headed out the door. After arriving at Tom and Jamie’s house Tom showed me the search location. I grabbed my Garrett Apex, made some adjustments due to heavy EMI and began my search. Within seconds of starting my search I received a signal that was promising, I pinpointed the target, removed a bit of snow and there was Jamie’s ring. Jamie’s ring is a custom made platinum ring set with stones from heirloom rings.
