Key Fob Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Friday, June 19, 2026 as I was in the process of doing a grid search for a lost ring, a young lady came running up to me in a panic asking for help. I had my earphones and couldn’t understand what she was asking. When I removed them she said that they had lost their keys and could I please help. I left my scoop in the sand to mark my grid line and followed her down the beach. When I got to the area, I’m assuming her husband Jay said that he had lost his key fob and showed me the area. I made a couple of passes over the area with the coil and got a strong signal. I showed Jay the spot and he reached into the sand and retrieved the fob. All was well and the family could head home. Wish all the searches were that easy.

Lost Wedding rings in the sand at Carpinteria State Beach found by Dave The RingFinder

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

Call or text Dave at 805-290-5009 so he can create a plan to get your ring back!

I got a text last Wednesday from Diego who had been vacationing with his family at Carpinteria State Beach. In an effort to keep her rings safe his wife had taken them off while applying sunscreen on the kids and swimming. As almost always happen, the rings get forgotten and after cleaning up the area at the end of the day Monday they realized the rings were gone.

They dug frantically in the area but couldn’t come up with anything and they searched again the following day but no luck. They found Dave The RingFinder on the Internet and reached out. I was a bit concerned because Carpinteria State Beach gets detected pretty hard but I assured them that I would cover the entire area and if they were still there I would find them. They had already left to go back home from their vacation so I would be mailing these rings back if I found them.

I got out to the beach around 3:30pm and there were lot’s of folks enjoying the day and the area I had been given to search was a bit crowded but I figured I could work around them and I would wait until they left if I needed to. About 5 minutes in I was approached by one of the Lifeguards and he knew why I was there and he directed me to an area where they had been digging for the ring. Another 2 minutes and my Minelab Manticore identified ring number 1 and minute later my CKG scoop had picked up ring number 2.

New Smyrna Beach, Florida… Lost rings in surf found by Florida Ring Finder.

Do you need a metal detector to find something that is lost in your yard, ocean or at the park? Why not hire a professional metal detecting expert instead. My name is Mike McInroe…Central Florida Ring Finder at 321-363-6029! On land, in the water, at the park, in the grass, sand, in cars, homes…rings, jewelry, keys, phones, property markers, etc.

I received a call from Jeff asking about theringfinders service and if I was available to help his brother and sister in law look for a very special ring lost in the ocean. I was super busy that day so I gave them Mr Edward Duffey’s number and he and a friend went out at the next low tide to look for their lost ring…but were unsuccessful! The next day my wife, daughter and grandson wanted to go to the beach so I opted to head out as well only a bit further north…right where Nick and his wife were swimming when their ring was lost. I arrived right at low tide and after talking to Nick I set out my flags and began searching the wet sand and out into the water. I had forgotten to ask what sort of ring or rings I was looking for and about 35 minutes into my search I got a good solid signal about knee deep and there in my scoop was a beautiful gold ring with a fairly large diamond and I could only imagine that this was the one that was lost. And since I had plenty of time and daylight I decided to continue searching. About 10 later I got another solid signal, knee deep in the surf, and again I spotted another gold ring in my Xtreme Scoop…a thinner wedding ring. A few minutes later Nick’s mother in law came walking down the beach towards me and I politely asked if she was the one who lost a ring…and she said no…it was my daughter. So I asked about the ring and as soon as I heard the description and that there were two rings that were lost I said, « Well I have found a couple of rings »…and that got her attention big time! When I pulled out the large diamond engagement ring she could not believe it and she started yelling and jumping up and down. I said wait a minute…I have another ring here as well and then she came unglued!! Jumping and waiving her arms, yelling and crying and then she started running up the beach towards the house. Then I saw Nick and his wife come running down to meet her and they began hugging and crying…it was absolutely amazing to watch the joy and sheer delight that they were experiencing. I couldn’t help but thank God for allowing me to be a blessing to this young couple and to find their lost rings!

Lost Yellow Gold & Diamond Engagement Ring at Iroquois Point Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a late night text from Kanga which said, « Aloha! I lost my engagement ring today around 4-5 pm at Iroquois Point Beach.  I think it’s buried in the sand.  Based on your experience, do you think there’s a good chance it’s still in the sand?  I texted back, « Dry sand or in the water? I’ll see what I can do early morning. »  It was dry sand.  She only went in the water briefly and she thought she would have taken it off before going in.  Kanga sent a few pics of the area.  I told her we could meet at 6am at the beach parking lot.  When Shiraz and Kanga arrived they gave me a few more details and marked the area to search.  Shiraz said had the ring been on the blanket he would have only dumped it off as he didn’t snap the blanket which could have thrown the ring a good distance and who knows which direction.  I fired up the Manticore and started the grid search.  On the first leg, only a chunk of foil, which sounded terrific.  Then on the return leg I got a nice tone and looked down.  There proudly exposed was the gorgeous diamond sparkling in the morning sun.  I reached down picked it up and it was a Marquise cut beauty.  Got it!  Kanga & Shiraz came running over to see.  Kanga was obviously choked up a bit, as she spent so much time hunting the beach and home because she wasn’t positive when it had come off.  This beautiful couple is getting married on the 4th of July.  So happy the ring will be there!  Aloha to Kanga & Shiraz!

Wedding set recovered in Asbury Park NJ

Recovery in Asbury Park NJ Dennis Burlingame. 908 489 2371, Got a call from Tina asking for help in finding her wedding set she lost on Asbury Park beach. Told her I’d be there as soon as possible. She met me at the beach entrance and took me where she was sitting. Seems while enjoying the day at the beach she took off her rings and placed them in her husbands hat while putting lotion on her daughter’s, but didnt let her husband know they were there. He went to put his hat on and the rings through out into the sand. I search an area they thought they might of landed but didnt hear them. I moved under the tent they had set up and got my first signal and out came ring number 1 just behind her husbands chair. Had her move the chair and found the second one under where his chair was sitting. She couldnt believe how quick I found them. A great happy ending to what could of been a sad day.

22K Tibetan Gold Wedding Ring Lost at BlackMud Creek Community Center Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

 

Mandeep contacted me around 6 p.m. requesting assistance in locating his two‑year‑old 22k yellow gold wedding band. After asking my standard questions to understand how and where it was lost, I agreed to help.

We met at the field where he had played a cricket match the previous day. Mandeep had prepared a hand‑drawn map and marked the area with yellow paint to indicate where he believed the ring had fallen. It was a large section of the field, so I continued asking questions to narrow down the search zone. He explained that while attempting to catch the ball, it grazed his finger, causing him to instinctively flick his hand—sending the ring flying somewhere onto the field.

He immediately called a time‑out, and his teammates joined him in a thorough search, but they were unable to locate the ring.

Based on his best recollection, Mandeep estimated the ring could be within a 50′ x 50′ area. I conducted a detailed search of that section for about an hour before confirming the ring was not there. Although disappointed, he remained hopeful. I reassured him that if the ring was still on the field, I would find it.

We then moved to the second marked location and spent another hour searching without success. As I reviewed the painted markings—two circles about a foot apart—I received a clean 68 VDI tone on my Manticore detector just outside the marked area. Moments later, I spotted the edge of the ring nestled in the grass.

Mandeep’s reaction was pure joy. He nearly jumped over the moon when I handed him his wedding band.

Thank you, Mandeep, for trusting me to help recover such a meaningful item.

Another wedding ring safely returned in Western Wisconsin!

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
 I got a call from a gentleman who had just gotten home from vacation and realized his wedding ring was missing. He had lost a little weight recently, so the ring was fitting a bit loose. He wasn’t sure if it had slipped off while carrying things into the house or somewhere in his yard. He had a pretty small backyard, so I met up with him and started searching right away. I checked the yard and his car with no luck. He then mentioned he had been out on the deck the night before, grabbing logs for the fireplace. I searched the log pile and a box of sawdust and kindling. Using my pin-pointer, I got a signal at the bottom of the kindling box — and there it was, buried in the sawdust! He was genuinely surprised. He told me he had pretty much been going through the motions and didn’t expect it to be found. Seeing how happy he was to have his ring back made the search very worthwhile.
If you’ve lost a ring or other piece of jewelry in Western Wisconsin, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to help.
