Fairfield CT after a July 4th backyard relay race the recovery of a Gold Ring July 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

Claire and her friend were enjoying a fourth of July party in a friends back yard. During a relay race Claire felt the ring slip from her fingers and fly somewhere into the grassy area. She  and her friends searched the area on their hands and knees  for hours and could not find the ring. Claire by chance saw the news broadcast about my helping people recover lost jewelry in Fairfield and asked if I could take a look. I arrived and found out there was one potentially major problem. The yard had an electric fence and the interference it caused made me reduce my sensitivity significantly. I asked Claire to reenact the event as best as she could remember to put me close tot he area. After balancing the frequency in my detector I got my first gold tone signal. Putting the pin pointer to the ground clearly told me we had a good target just below the surface. Putting my fingers into the soil under the grass a gold ring popped out of the grass and into my hand. I showed her what I had just found and she stared in disbelief that I was able to get it, especially after they had spent hours searching for it. we did a reenactment on video for her friends and family to see the moment she was surprised , that video was fun to make and capture the essence of what it feels like to return a sentimental item

I also learned better how to deal with the electric fences so if this happens again I would be ready. I did not see the two dogs until after the hunt was over but I’m glad I had returned to the car when they came out to protect their property.

Westerly CT Gold Nugget ring returned from the ocean at Misquamicut Beach July 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

A day on summer vacation for Rachel and Arthur a couple visiting from New Hampshire turned into chaos after he lost his special ring playing football with his nephew in the surf at Misquamicut beach. Arthur had earlier removed his ring so not to lose it during his football throwing activities with his nephew. But just before leaving , he put the ring back on his hand and made a few more passes. As accidents happen after one pass it ended up with the ring flying off his finger. Rachel had posted on social media and then heard about my recent recovery’s in the area from others on social media and contacted me to help. It was late in the day and getting dark. I asked my friend Gary Bonin a ring finder in Westerly to take a quick look before dark. He did not have good luck  because he could not isolate the optimal location to search in the dark. I responded the next morning at 6am and after asking Rachel several questions during a facetime, we narrowed down the location down to where the ring might have flown off his finger. After gridding the area I had a great signal that was  about 8 inches down and on the waters edge. Miraculously it turned out to be this amazing gold nugget ring. It was a sentimental gift from his mother when he graduated high school. The good news was their summer vacation ended up on a positive note and restored faith in humanity that prayer and people will help you. Rachel shared to importance of prayer with their children and I gave them a St Anthony medal to remember this vacation and the miracle that took place.

Old Lyme , CT Platinum Diamond Ring July 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

Old Lyme CT, July 27. What started as a Christmas in July celebration at the beach with over 150 guest became a frantic search for a lost platinum diamond ring. Kristina the coordinator of the event was playing with the children handing out gifts and dancing with them under a huge tent. Line dancing around all the tables and tlo the gift distribution area. After stopping at her table she noted that two of her three rings were almost falling off her finger and the large diamond ring was missing. In a frantic search the crowd started searching the area kicking sand , kids digging into the sand and even a child’s detector was employed. Quick action by Alison reached out to me from social media and gave me the situation. In about 30 minutes I was onsite and assessing the situation. The area was trampled and it became clear there was no clear idea of where it could have been lost. I started but using a standard coil covering and gridding the area closest to where she noticed it had been missing. The tables and chairs were moved when possible to allow better access and everyone was supportive. I started by giving Kristina who said she was catholic and seeking help a St Anthony medal to pray for her lost items and many of the guests started doing the same. At one pint everyone left the area to go to sleep and I remained but changed my strategy and used a smaller sniper coil to better get between the tables. After about a half hour a weak but repeatedly signal in the range of  platinum was identified. The soft sand was pinpointed and at a depth of 6-7 inches a solid ping was detected, sifting the sand with my fingers I felt the band of the ring and a glitter of platinum ion the sand and brought it to the surface.  Some passing relatives contacted her and she jumped into a golf cart and came straight to the tent where her ring awaited her. We had several precious and emotional minutes where she came to terms it had been found and that her and the other peoples prayers to St Anthony were heard. A miracle had just been witnessed.

Lost Ring in Rental Car near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho….Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

The thought to remove one’s ring before doing an activity may very well save the rings from being lost. However, for Linda the act of taking off her rings was what led to the disappearance for her wedding ring. While traveling in their rental car to their next destination, Linda decided to put on some sunscreen. The car her husband was driving had a large console in the middle of the car. On the console was a sliding door with a lip around the outside. A very nice resting place for her two wedding rings. Although the lip around the door was sufficient, the inertia caused by a right-hand turn sent the two rings flying. The large engagement ring stayed on the door, but the smaller thinner band had a mind of its own.

The car made it to its destination, Linda and Jeffery her husband, nonchalantly began to look for the lost ring. It must be on the floorboard they thought. So, under the floor mat they looked. They also looked under the seat and on the side of the seat. Their mood changed dramatically, a lost and hopeless wave covered over their minds. The family they were with, began to help the search. Linda’s lost ring was lost for good.

Lost for good, is where the search for The Ring Finders begins.

I was out with my family when a text message showed up. Linda wanted my help with the ring in the car. The time that the car had to be returned put a rush on me getting to the rental car. With all of my lost jewelry searches I bring as much gear that I can to help me with the task. For Lindas search, I had my two stream lights, a tool called a stick, a borescope, and a no quit attitude. Every step I take on a car search is to eliminate each and every hiding spot. After searching front to back and top to bottom, I got my borescope and began looking into the cracks of the car. On the last pass of the passenger side seat, I was able to look into the console to see the void that was under the sliding door. In the far-left corner, I saw the perfect shape of a ring. The further I moved toward the ring revealed the diamonds around the edge of the ring.

Leaping with excitement inside myself, I tried to calmly say that « I found the ring ». I knew the really tough part of this search had just begun. Extracting the ring from the car would ultimately cause the ring to fall deeper into the subfloor. At which point the Ford mechanics had to step in. Two techs had to take the car apart enough to lift the console up. With the pictures Linda had taken, the men knew where to look for the ring and were successful in retrieving it.

This search took many hands to complete the mission, and I truly feel that all Ring Finders are superheroes, but even Batman had Robin.

Covelle’s Beach, Craigville, MA Diamond Wedding Band Found and Returned by Richard Browne

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

July 25, 2025 Richard was following guidelines for applying sunscreen while sitting in his chair and watching the waves come onto shore. And then it happened, he stood up and his wedding band slipped from the safety of his rolled up shirt, down it went and buried itself into the soft sand. Richard was lucky in the fact that he just happened to be on a beach that TheRingFinders are well known about and they gave him my contact information.

His daughter called as I was finishing lunch and hung up before getting my secondary phone number. So she called back and I was at the phone and answered. In a minute I had the information I needed to get to the beach and start a search. At the beach I met Richard and we walked to the area marked with a towel. On the seventh swing I heard what I was listening for. My first scoop of sand had the same result as did many hands-full of sand had, nothing found. Next shallow sweep a bit to the right and then the well loved sound of a ring bouncing in my scoop was unmistakable. I had Richard’s wife hold my scoop, and Richard remove the ring as I took a couple of pictures for the Book of Smiles.

Just then we watched as a junior metal detectorist swung bye. In his case his metal detector was OK for the dry sand, but would fall short of finding a target in the wet saltwater mineralized sand. His young expertise could have helped a couple of hours ago. I gave him a thumbs up as he happily swung on bye.

A few short stories and an explanation of TheRingFinders and we parted ways, I left heading to my car and awaiting wife. Richard on his was to thank the lifeguards that had given him my information and tell them that the ring was found and on his hand, not to be lost at the beach again. Just before the ring slipped under the sand Richard’s wife had just finished explaining why she did not remove her rings when applying the sunscreen protection. Lessons learned: 1) Protect your ring by putting it in a plastic, zip lock bag if and when removed when at the beach, 2) leave you precious jewelry at home and wear an inexpensive piece to the beach…no one there will know the difference, except for a metal detectorist such as myself when you loose it and it is found, or 3) Keep TheRingFinders.com card photo on your cellphone, just in case.

  • from Sunset Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I was sent a google map location at Bolsa Chica Beach via text to search for a tungsten ring. These are more difficult when the person can’t meet you in person.
I sent pictures to verify which fire pit he was at. I circled the fire pit and on the 5th time around I found his ring. Drive to Long Beach to drop off his ring but forgot to take a picture of him with the ring.

Lost and found wedding and engagement diamond rings in Rice Lake Ontario

Contact:

Today’s travel took me to Beautiful Rice Lake Ontario for a wedding band and diamond engagement rings. Received a text from Steve this morning about Robyn loosing her rings last night while having a swim at their cottage in about 4’ 1/2 of water. After all the usual questions, I gathered all my gear and headed down their way. Once there, Steve was very detailed about when and where Robyn felt her rings come off. However, with years of metal targets in the area, under water, it made it somewhat challenging. After forty five minutes or so, I finally was able to see her gorgeous rings in my scoop, which I promptly handed to Steve to give to Robyn. She was extremely happy which made another great happy ending. Life is good!
