Lost Gold and Diamond Engagement Ring Recovered in Deale, Maryland!







Screenshot
Steven and his wife Erin were enjoying the perfect beach day. The lake was a bit wavy, but Steven planned to get some time on the paddle-board. Upon mounting the board, things went south and Steven fell off in knee deep water. He felt his ring slip off. They consulted ChatGPT, which recommended me as a ringfinder option. There were quite a few metallic targets to sort through, but after about 15 mimutes, Ring in The Scoop. Happy wife!
On Friday, July 10, 2026, at 5:40 p.m. I received a voice mail saying, “Hi, my name is Park. I am staying on Pawley’s Island and lost a wedding band. I found this number as a ring finder.” I was able to get the call before he hung up and found out additional details. He told me that he had taken the ring off to apply suntan lotion before going out on the beach. He also stated that he took his ring off and set it on the banister. He believed it had fallen or gotten knocked off into the area around the porch. He also stated it may be on the beach in the dry sand but was more convinced it was around or under the porch. He also told me that they had to check out by 10 a.m. Saturday. We arranged for me to show up at 8 a.m. and check out both areas.
I arrived on time and talked with Park who showed me the area around the porch that he suspected the ring was. Luckily, the area was mostly dead leaves and a couple of sticker bushes. He told me the wedding band was yellow gold; I had my Equinox 800 so I knew the ring would show up in the 15-17, maybe 18 range on the VDI (visual display indicator) depending on the size of the ring. I searched all along the porch area and got nothing in the range I expected. From there, Park and I walked out to the beach, but Park wasn’t really sure the ring would be out there. He showed me the area and went back to the house to finish packing and loading the car. The area was maybe 15X20 ft and wouldn’t take long. I started an east/west grid line outside the suspected area. About my fifth or sixth line I got a solid 16 on the VDI and about 3-4 inches deep. I left my scoop in the car because I didn’t think I’d need it, wrong! I started sifting the sand through my fingers and saw Park’s yellow gold band lying in the hole I had made. Bingo!! I walked back to the house and knocked on the door. Park’s wife opened the door and called Park to come downstairs. About halfway down he asked if I had found it. I held it up and said, “Yes.” He instantly perked up and was so excited he had his ring back. I think it’s going to be a much happier ride home to DC.
Park – Thank you for calling me and trusting me to help find your lost wedding band. Take care!

I got a call from Nick who told me he had lost a ring in a neighborhood park, and was not able to find it. This was a ring he had received from his mother, so although being copper the value wasn’t high in monetary worth, the worth in sentimentality was very high. We worked out a time for me to come out and do a search, and was on my way to help.
When I arrived Nick met me at the gate of the park, and told me this was where the loss occurred. He told me that he had been kind of goofing around, and decided to just make a small toss of the ring onto a small hillside. It wasn’t overgrown, or had a lot of leaves and such, but the ring just disappeared. I searched all around, and when I got to a place where the dirt was a little softer, I found his ring buried there. He was happy to have it back, and I was happy to make his day. I did make a plea to him though, that was please don’t throw your ring around any more, and he assured me he wouldn’t.

Damian contacted me about a ring he had lost 3 days prior. I let him know that I would do the search, but that with the passage of time the recovery opportunity diminishes. He agreed to do the search, but would not be able to meet me there. He gave concise directions to the area he believed the loss to have occurred, a very well traveled area, and I was on my way.
When I arrived, and looked the area over, the sand was untouched for most of the area he had given me. But I could tell that the county had groomed part of the area I would be searching with their machines. I began furthest from the groomed area, and made a tight grid working my way out. Finding mostly tin foil, bottle caps and some coins, the haul was normal. I was getting close to the machine cleaned area, when on the edge, received a good signal, dug, and had a ring. I took a picture of it, and sent it in a text to Damian to see if I found his ring. He assured me this was the one. I wanted to get it back to him as soon as possible, so He gave me his home address where his wife was there to receive it. Like I tell people, there is always hope. You just never know.

Lindsey called after having lost her two gold rings in the sand at the beach. She knew the area, and it happened earlier in the day, so I knew there was a good chance of making a recovery. I let her know I would get there as soon as I could to increase the possibility of a successful search.
When I got to the beach, it was already dark, but I assured Lindsey that if she could get me close to the area of the loss I should be able to find them. She walked me over to the area she had been in, and within 10 minutes, I was able to hand her back the rings that had a very high significance in her life. This was a great search.

This search started just after 1 pm, on July 10, 2026, when I received a text message saying, “Hello, is this Jim Wren.” I responded, “Yes.” Then I get, “Hi, I was recommended to you off the internet and I was wondering if I could use your help? I have a custom gold tooth set I dropped in the sand, I recovered two of them, but I can’t find the last one. It was 3 pieces all together.” I called her and got additional details, including the address and was on my way.
When I arrived at the address she gave me, I wasn’t close to the beach, so I called her and asked for the resort name, which she provided. I ended up at the resort and had to explain what I was there for to the security guard at the front gate. He seemed reluctant but let me through to park. My second obstacle was the gate guard at the resort’s swimming pool. I made my way through the swimming area and out on the boardwalk looking out at the huge crowd on the beach. I called the young lady, Trejour and told her where I was standing. She ended up being down the beach and she called when she saw me. She showed me the very small area, and I asked for one of the other grill teeth so I could test it. It rang up as a 2-3 on the Equinox 800 VDI (visual display indicator). I made a couple of swings and hit a solid 4 on the VDI. I was able to use my pin pointer to hit the target, but I still had to sift the sand through my fingers to find the missing grill. She was extremely happy when I handed it back to her.
Trejour – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help find your lost treasure.

Received a text at 5:42pm requesting metal detecting services at the Tahoe Vista Recreational Area & Boat Launch.
Early that day on the Tahoe Vista Beach, the client took off her engagement and wedding rings to apply sunblock on the kids. She placed the rings on the beach chair. Later she picked up the chair causing the rings to fall into the sand. They were able to retrieve the wedding ring, but were unable to find the engagement ring.
The client and her husband met me at the ring loss location at 8:00pm. The very first solid signal turned out to be the lost platinum engagement ring. Everyone was happy with the beautiful sunset ring recovery.

I was contacted by Sean who thought he lost his gold wedding band while cutting his grass. We talked and I agreed to come out at his convivence to conduct a search.
Although it took a little while for our schedules to matchup I went out and met Sean who took me around his property where he wanted me to search. It was a large yard and there was a few spots he thought were more likely than others including one on the property line where the neighbor had just removed some trees. Even though some time had passed the grass in the yard was thick and dense and gave me hope that despite a few cuts the ring might still be hidden there. I got started and soon finished with a small portion of the front yard and the backyard. I was starting to wonder if I was going to be able to find it as I was starting to run out of real estate. Then in the area of the side yard where the trees had been removed I got a strong repeatable sound. I started poking around with my pin pointer and there is was! Sean came out of the house to meet me, very pleasantly surprised that I had found it. It was great to meet another kind and generous client and be able to reunite him with his lost wedding ring.
