Lost Gold Cornell University Ring at Royal Hawaiian Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!


This ring find began when I got a text from Skylar saying I lost a ring in Waikiki how long would it take you to arrive? I was just a few blocks from my home so I told her I could grab my gear and head right over in about 20 minutes depending on traffic. They are from San Francisco and were on vacation. After a little back and forth, I determined they were at the Royal Hawaiian Beach. My daughter agreed to drop me off as it was getting towards dusk and time was of essence. When I arrived, I met Skylar at the beach entrance and she introduced me to Will whose ring was lost. It fell out of his shirt after coming out of the water. Will showed me the dry sand area to hunt and thought his ring was silver but after finding it with the Manticore as a #31 on the VDI it was heavy and gold! Vacation saved! Aloha to Will, Skylar and the gang!

Aggie Ring disappears – Irving, Texas
We got a call from a young man who said he was playing Football with a friend, just passing the ball around. When they finished playing he realized his coveted Aggie Ring was gone.
He jumped on the Internet and found « The Ring Finders » and gave us a call. We responded immediately and boy was it hot, over 100 degrees. Ellen and I covered the entire football field and on my next to last pass I saw His Aggie Ring sparkling in the dirt and grass, no detector needed on this one.
I let Ellen know I found it and we went walking towards the young man. As we got closer I told him we needed to get some water and ask him to hold this and I handed him his Aggie Ring. I wish you all could have seen his face, it was priceless. So much fun, I love what we get to do to help people in their time of panic.
Hearing Aids Lost in Yard
We got a call from a gentleman who said his wife had placed her hearing aids on top of her phone and walked out the front door to open the gate. Somewhere along the way across the yard the Hearing Aids fell into the deep St Augustine grass. She and her husband searched and searched even buying a magnetic bar on wheels to try and find the Hearing Aids. After 3 days of searching and panic began to set in. These were new Hearing Aids and not insured.
The husband began to search the internet and found « The Ring Finders » and called us. Luckily we were on our way back into the Dallas area and were able to reroute to the Gaston Street area downtown. The hearing aids were so small out Garrett ATPRO’S bearly picked up a signal. I had to get on hand and knees and use our Pinpointers to find them. It took a while but we had success, the Hearing Aids had fallen just inside the flower beds and they were brown in color so very hard to see.
Another happy customer for the « Dallas Ring Finders ».
Lost Wedding Band FOUND Fort Worth TX.
I received a text on Friday the 19th front Cindy that she thinks she lost her wedding band while walking her dog. I spoke to her about the incident and met her that afternoon. After searching for a little over an hour it got dark and I told her I would return on Sunday to continue the search. This was a large area about 200 feet by 50 feet. I returned on Sunday and also lent her husband a spare detector, my son also helped in the search. After about 1 hour and 30 minutes I was beginning to think she didn’t loose the ring here. Then bang a very good signal and there it was. She was not there and had just left so I showed her husband and he was very happy. Thank You Cindy for the opportunity and thank you for the generous rewards.

Lost — Men’s Gold Tungsten wedding ring – New Smyrna Beach, Florida — FOUND!!
I was detecting on New Smyrna Beach this past Saturday. It was a quiet day — not much action, just the usual hum of waves and the occasional curious glance from beachgoers.
A woman came running up to me, carrying a baby and looking flustered. Her name was Tracy, and she said her son had just lost his wedding ring out in the surf. Moments later, I met Oliver, the unlucky groom. He told me he’d been out in the deeper water tossing a football with his friends when the ring flew off mid-throw. He felt the exact moment it slipped away.
I prayed and asked for God’s help. Unfortunately, I wasn’t set up for deep water detecting. Still, I waded out as far as I could — the tide was coming in fast. I told Oliver I’d come back the next day at low tide and give it a proper shot.
The next day, I returned. The tide had pulled back, revealing a whole new stretch of beach. This time, I came prepared: Aquatec headphones, and my trusty Manticore detector in hand. I stepped into the surf, scanning the troughs.
Almost immediately, I got a hit. My heart skipped — maybe this was it! I dug carefully and pulled up… a gold earring. A good find, but not the one I was after.
Not long after that, I caught another strong signal — a deep, clean tone. I dug in again, and this time, out came a shining wedding ring. I knelt and thanked God for guiding me to the spot. I called Oliver and later returned his ring to him and Sasha, his bride of one year. Another happy family!

14K Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in Resort Parking Garage, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC
This search started on Sunday Sept. 14, 2025, just before 4 pm with a text from Cody saying, “Hi Jim, I found your number on a metal detecting page. We just stayed at Sands Resort this weekend and my wife put her ring in our backpack cooler for safe keeping. When we went to put our beach wagon back in the car, we dumped out the sand. The backpack cooler never left the wagon and her ring was gone. We can only imagine we dumped it out in the parking deck. I was wondering if this would be something you could help with. We are 4 hours away. I called the number attached to the text message and got a few more details from Cody. One of the things he told me was the ring was a yellow gold wedding band that was part of a set, but this was just the wedding band that was lost. He said they were parked on the 5th level and 2 parking spaces to the left, directly across from the elevator. He also mentioned that they had left to go back home about 8 am that day. I’m thinking that our tourist season is winding down and there should be fewer guests at the resort. I also thought there was a pretty good chance of finding his wife, Desiree’s wedding band. I told him I’d go a little later and would let him know when I was on my way.
About 7:30 pm I sent him a text saying, “On my way.” Since this was going to be strictly a visual search, I grabbed a flashlight and a small fan rake. The rake was in case I had to reach under a car if that’s where the ring was. I got to the resort about 8 pm and needed a parking card to get into the parking lot. I had to go in and explain what was going on to the front desk clerk and she gave me a card to park. As I’m driving through the maze of the parking garage, I’m noticing the first 3 levels of parking were completely full. Not what I was hoping for. When I got to level 5, it was almost empty of cars. I parked 1 spot to the right of the elevator and walked over to the elevator to make sure I was on the 5th level. There was a car parked in the 3rd spot, left of the elevator, but they left after I started looking around with the flashlight. I checked the 1st and 2nd spot and saw nothing. So, as usual when I can’t find what I’m looking for in the area it’s supposed to be in, I expand my search out. I looked out to the 6th spot on the left with no luck, so I started back to the right. As I’m getting ready to move my car, I glanced over on the 2nd spot to the right of the elevator and noticed a small object. As I walked over to it, Bingo, there was her ring just lying on the ground. I took a picture of me holding her ring and one of just the ring and sent it to him. In the text I said, “Cody, you need to go buy you a lottery ticket, now.” He immediately responded, “Brother you are a gift!!!” I called him telling him where I found it. He was positive it should have been on the left of the elevator. So, we’re thinking it either got kicked, flung out of the cooler or possibly rolled over to where it was. How it got to where it was, we’ll never know, but I was glad it did. I asked him to send me his name and address so I could get it in the mail tomorrow, Monday. He and Desiree were very excited to be getting it back.
They got the ring back on Thursday and I got the picture of Desiree and her big smile on Saturday.
Cody – thank you for calling me to help find Desiree’s treasure.
Jim

Lost Wedding Band Ocean City NJ Found
Lost Gold & Turquoise 25th Anniversary Ring at Honu Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!


This ring find began when I got a call from Paul from Temecula, California and was celebrating his 25th Anniversary at the Ko Olina Resort. Paul told me he was standing in knee deep water as his wife was taking his picture and a wave hit him and the 25th Anniversary Gold & Turquoise Ring, his wife had just given him, fell off into the shallow water and disappeared in the soft sand. After trying unsuccessfully, the resort security gave him my number for the recovery. I agreed to meet him that evening as I had a scuba dive hunt the next morning in a different lagoon. When I arrived, Paul took me down to the shoreline to show me the area to hunt. On the third leg of the grid in knee deep water I got a nice zinc penny tone on the Manticore but low and behold it was Paul’s amazing ring. Anniversary saved! Aloha to Paul!
