Lost Yellow Gold Hawaiian Style Ring at Aulani Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began on 11 July when I got a text from Marcus who was visiting with his girlfriend and enjoying the day at the Aulani Resort.  While in the water, he lost his Yellow Gold Hawaiian Style Ring and a Jade Pendant necklace.  After the first dive hunt failed to recover either one, Marcus and I realized the search should have been further North.  The second dive hunt I was able to find the ring however being low on air I wasn’t able to extend the search deeper and more to the South for it’s recovery.  The chain is fairly thin so I’m certainly hoping the Manticore can snag the clasp holding the Jade Pendant.  To be continued if found.  Meanwhile, Marcus has his ring he received in the mail today in Washington State.  Aloha to Marcus!

Steve’s Emergency Metal Detecting Service For You if you lost a ring or something precious to you. Please don’t wait until tomorrow, time will work against you, please CALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, CALL NOW!  310-953-5268

Yumi Contacted me about some jewelry she lost earlier that day. She had been at the beach, and to « be safe » she told me she took her 3 rings off, and put them in her pocket. The last thing she remembered was that they were jingling in the pocket, and to hear them made her feel better. She and her boyfriend left the beach for Downtown Los Angeles, and then had the heartbreaking realization that everything was missing. It was a little late when she called, but knowing that beach is cleaned by very efficient machines, and other metal detectorists, I told her that I would leave right away in order to have the best possibility of a recovery.

When I arrived it was dark, and I had a while before the police enforced the 10:00 PM curfew removing everyone from the beach. So I got to the area, and called Yumi to make sure I was in the right place, also asking a few more questions as to distance from the marker and such. I worked my way from the top of the slope making a tight grid, and surprisingly not finding much in the way of coins or trash metal. I continued my grid, line after line working away from the slope, until about 25 feet from the slope, and 50 feet from the marker I received a myriad of good signals. I put in the scoop, and got a ring. I was excited now. I moved the coil over again, dug, and another ring, I was pretty sure I had the spot. Scanned again, and this time an earring (Yumi hadn’t mentioned earrings), so I began to wonder. I scanned again, and another ring. I scanned again, and a second earring. That was it for that spot, so I immediately called Yumi and asked if she could identify her rings (I wanted to be sure these were hers). She did correctly ID them, and then I asked if that was it, and she said there were earrings. I told her I had found it all, and we arranged to meet the next day for the return. She was so happy because two of those rings had belonged to her late aunt, and were irreplaceable. Not only that, but she will be going back to her home in Chicago soon, and would have had to leave them here forever. I really enjoy what I do.

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again.

PEARL BRACELET LOST UNDER DOCK RECOVERED DIVING..SECOND RECOVERY FROM SAME PRIVATE DOCK ST. AUGUSTINE

  • from Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Last night I received a call to help recover a lost pearl bracelet which fell into the water from a private dock in St. Augustine. This dock is very close to one of the oldest churches in the country and was established in 1565. Her daughter in law did not want loose her pearl bracelet before swimming so she took it off and placed it on a table on top of the dock.  When she returned and grabbed the bracelet it fell off the table and through the wood dock and straight into the water. Last January on the same dock another son had just proposed to his finance and when she held the ring up it flew off her hand and down into the water. That recovery took 2 days of diving due to the murky waters. I was really hoping this time the conditions would be better but it was not. Below the dock was a muddy oyster bed shelf and lots of debris from having the dock rebuilt. My visibility was almost non-existent I was lucky to have 2″-4″ of visibility, had to have my mask almost touching the bottom to see anything.  With a little luck and faith I was able to recover and return the pearl bracelet.

Call Surf City Ring Finder 714-944-0555

Damien’s gold wedding ring flew off of his finger while he was shaking the sand off his hands. When I arrived Damien and his friends had an area of the sand marked off where the ring might be.

I found a few bottle caps and pull tabs before the ring showed up. Damien and his group of around ten people all started clapping and cheering. I could tell Damien was relieved that I had found his ring.

Sentimental Gold Ring Lost Over 35-40 Years Ago In Lake Muskoka, Bracebridge, Ontario Canada

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

What can I say…. this was one incredible lost ring recovery story!

It all starts with a group of high school girlfriends getting back together in the summer of 2023 at “The Wilson Cottage”!

It was amazing reminiscing about the high school days and catching up on the last number of years! My high school girlfriends knew that I was a registered metal & scuba dive Detectorist with the global organization “The Ring Finders” as I have been posting recovery stories for over 7 years!

Of course I always ask…. “Have you or your Family ever lost anything at the cottage or in the water?

It turns out that Beth’s Mother, Mrs. Wilson, lost a gold ring in the bay that represented her 20th service year at Consumers Distributing of Canada! She thought she lost 20 years ago then they thought 30 years ago but it’s likely the ring was lost 35 to 40 years ago!

Of course I had to bring all my gear… my underwater metal detectors and my DIVE BLU3 floating battery operated air supply systems The NEMO to 10’ depth and the NOMAD to 30’ depth!

All we knew that Mrs. Wilson Lost Ring cleaning up weeds ..

So I tried in underwater detecting in July 2023 and found a number of pennies, a fishing lure and trash!

Then comes to July 2024, which we were invited back up for a milestone birthday which we shall not discuss what year! *wink

So of course, I say well I’m heading into the water to try and look for your mom’s ring again …. And 20 minutes later I come up with a gold ring and I was freaking out!

We had no idea this was Mrs. Wilson’s ring. Gina googled the image for consumers distributing! It was then confirmed that the ring was indeed Mrs. Wilson’s lost ring!

We then proceeded to FaceTime Mrs. Wilson and surprise her! And what a wonderful surprise it was as we all had tears of joy!

Thank you, Mrs. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson as you did make a charity donation in 2023 to my charity the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation !

This was indeed, one of the most wonderful weekends we have ever had! Celebrating friendships along with milestone birthday and incredible years of memories!

“What happens at the cottage stays at the cottage” except for this very special Ring Recovery!

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered From Chippewa Lake, Ohio!

  • from Wooster (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

Late Tuesday night, the 23rd of July, I received a voicemail and text from Ilona who had recently lost her gold and platinum wedding ring in Chippewa Lake while working on her boat lift. I didn’t receive the messages until the next morning, and I promptly texted her back. I told her I wasn’t sure I’d be able to assist, as my water search equipment had been damaged during another water hunt earlier this year. I referred her to The Ring Finder’s website but said if she couldn’t find anyone else to let me know and I’d see what I could do. She called me a few minutes later and said she had tried another Ring Finder, but they no longer do water searches and she was desperate to find her ring, as she was leaving the next day for a short camping trip (with limited cell service) followed by a month-long vacation and really wanted her ring back before she left! So, I told her we’d make a few protective modifications to our equipment and give it a go. 

As she was leaving that evening, we made arrangements to meet her brother at the lake on Thursday around 3:30pm. When we arrived at the lake, Peter took us out on the pier and pointed out where Ilona’s boat lift was and where she was working when she lost the ring.

We headed out to the boat lift around 3:45. The water was between hip and waist deep by the time we got to the spot. There were lots of speed boats on the lake, which took the water levels even higher at times. Because of the depth we couldn’t use our detectors, so we relied on our pinpointers. We started around the area she had been working and fanned out from there. After about forty-five minutes to an hour, I found a ring! I had not seen a picture of Ilona’s ring, so I didn’t know if it was her ring or not. I waded back to shore and showed the ring to Peter. He also wasn’t sure if it was her ring, so while he texted her, we placed the ring in our find’s bucket and returned to the water to keep searching. About an hour or so later Peter hollered out from the shore and asked to see the ring. I came back to shore and we compared the ring to the picture she had just sent and, sure enough, that was her ring! How exciting! We dried off and took some pictures while Peter called Ilona. I could hear the excitement in Ilona’s voice and that’s what it’s all about! As Peter would be joining her on her trip the following day, she made sure he was going to bring the ring to her. After chatting a bit more with Ilona and Peter, we hopped in the car and headed home. Two days later I received a text with a picture of Ilona, happily wearing her ring! It never gets old making people smile! Ilona and her ring!Ilona's ring!

Wedding Band found at Bolsa Chica Beach

Surf City Ring Finder 714-944-0555

Jamie inquired about my metal detecting service for a lost ring at the beach. She reached out on Thursday evening stating that it was lost the previous Sunday.

She sent me a google maps drawing and I asked her if she could reduce the search area because it was quite a large area. She sent me a new map after realizing it was probably lost while playing volleyball.

I was able to find the ring in about 15 minutes. Jamie and her partner drove a 1/2 hour to pick up the ring.

This one is hard to swallow.

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Had a call from Tyler.  While sitting in his back yard eating a sandwich, his gold tooth disappeared. He searched the clover patch in front of him with no luck. That’s when I was called him. I assured him that if he knew what, where and when it happened I would find it. I arrived, and searched the ground. No luck. Every possible signal was either buried or not the tooth. The detective in me took over. We checked pockets, cuffs and everything else. Still no ring. That left me with one possibility. After removing his belt, and every other piece of metal, I scanned his stomach.  Sure enough, a soft 62 on my AT Pro. I had him turn around and I scanned again. Same result. Found it. It’s a waiting game now.

Brewster, MA Platinum Band Returned 11 Years After Loss – Rick Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 25, 2024:

Returns are getting hard to believe. My last return was of a ring I found 2 years ago. The owner contacted me after seeing a post of another ring I had returned.

While out detecting with a friend we stopped at one beach, just because it was on our way home. It took about 5 minutes to grab our gear from the van, reminisce about finding a platinum ring many years ago and head for the water. At the water’s edge very close to where I had found a platinum ring I was approached by Mike. As Mike and I talked about how long I had been detecting, some questions about the art of detecting, he then asked if I had found a platinum ring 8 or so years ago. Mike had been tossing a ball when his wedding band took to the water and hid from the group of people that participated in the search for it. The band was platinum and had a date inscribed on it. I told him I may just have his ring at home if my memory was not fooling me. I asked him to get my contact information from the back of my van in the parking lot. With the info he could contact me and after I got home I would look for the ring then contact him, one way or an other.

That day, so long ago, after Mike’s group had left the beach, I showed up to enjoy an hour or so of hobby detecting before last light. My first target that night was a platinum ring right on the water’s edge. Those still on the beach as I was leaving for the night did not know of anyone losing a ring. Nor did I know of Mike losing his ring at that time.

Fast forward 11 years (Back to today): At home the third ring I looked at had the date of 3-25-00, I had Mike’s ring. Yes, it had been 11 years ago, my records showed the platinum ring was found on August 16, 2013; boy how time passes so rapidly. His reply to my call was that he would, if it was OK with me, be on his way to my house after dinner to be reunited with his wedding band.

The entire family showed up for the reunion of the ring and its owner, pictures and a few stories. What another wonderful story ending with a bunch of smiles and happiness that made for a most memorable vacation on Cape Cod.

Yellow Gold Anniversary Ring Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Garden City SC

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

Right around 11:30 pm on Friday, July 19th, I got the following text, “Good evening, I lost my anniversary ring 2 days ago, out of my pocket. It could be on the beach or on the walk or at our rented beach house. I’ve looked over the house so likely at the beach. I just saw info about your services. We leave tomorrow morning; would you be available to search by chance tomorrow?” We text back and forth for a few minutes about the area so I could get an idea of where I’d be looking and then I asked her to call me. When she called, we discussed some other details and I found out they had to be out of the rental by 10 am the next morning. I agreed to meet her and her husband at 9 am. When I arrived, I met Melanie and her husband, Wes in the driveway of the rental. We walked the block down to the beach access and out on the beach. It was early but the beach was filling up quickly with tourist excited about starting their vacation. Melanie said when they were there Wednesday, the day she lost it; they had set up in front of the umbrellas and chairs that were put out on the beach. At some point the lifeguard told them they’d have to move behind the chair line, which they did. Melanie also pointed out another portion of the beach where she had run to pick up trash that had blown away.  We said our goodbyes and I started a grid search behind the chair line that had already been set up. As time went by, more and more people were showing up and detecting was getting difficult. I did about an hour and a half and called it, there wasn’t much more I could do at the time and the heat was unbearable. I planned to be back out there the next day, but had to play the crowd, the tide and the heat. As I was in the car typing up a text to Melanie, they showed up to check on me. We talked but I didn’t mention I was planning on coming back out.

The next day, Sunday, I showed up about 4:30 pm. I know this is about the time people start leaving the beach to get cleaned up and figure out dinner. Also, the chairs and umbrellas usually get picked up around 4:30-5 pm. The beach looked a lot different than the day before. I started a north/south grid search parallel to the tide line and about halfway up the slope. The closer I got to the chair line; more and more people were leaving. Melanie described her ring as a yellow gold anniversary ring, so I knew that would show up as a 13-14 on my Nox 800. Unfortunately, 13-14 is exactly what pull tabs show up as. Saturday, I must have dug up 7 or 8 pull tabs. So, as I’m walking along my grid line, I got a 13-14. I dug up the target and had it in the scoop. As I’m shaking the sand out of the scoop, I saw a glimmer of yellow gold. I shook quicker and emptied the scoop, reached in and pulled out Melanie’s beautiful ring. It was 5:27 pm when I sent her a picture of her ring and a text saying, “BOOM!!!!! Came back and just found it!” She couldn’t believe it. I put it in the mail and sent it overnight to her and she got it Tuesday afternoon. I love finding people’s lost treasures and returning something they thought was gone forever. Melanie shared with me that she got the ring on her and Wes’ 25th anniversary; they’re now on their 27th. She just added another chapter to the ring’s story. Wish you two many many more anniversaries.

Melanie/Wes – Thank you for allowing me to help find your lost treasure.

Jim
