Lost white gold wedding ring at Newport Beach, CA. while on vacation. That is what happened to Karen and Ken when they came to California from North Carolina visiting relatives. It happened just before they were to celebrate 20 years marriage making it even more painful. 

Ken handed Karen his watch and wedding ring and she thought she put them both in the beach bag. When they got back to the beach house the watch was there but not the ring. Two possibilities that led to the loss, one was the ring may have slipped out of her hand before putting the watch in the bag or maybe one of the kids took something out of the bag, dragging the ring into the sand.

I got called the day after the ring went missing. I wasn’t sure if I could have access to the search area as many people had already set up their beach sites. We agreed to meet at the same location knowing that I may have to return later after most the people had left.

Karen showed me the general location and I had enough open space to search most of the area. I decided that I would return later but the I noticed some foot drag marks on the upper slope away from where I had been searching. Karen said her sister in law had searched there. Just because it was clear of people I decided to scan that spot before I left. Boom!  One White Gold man’s wedding ring in the scoop.

Karen was sitting very quiet and kind of discouraged in her beach chair. I walked up to her holding out the ring for her to see. She exploded with tears of joy and a smile so big everyone on the beach could see. Right away she got on the phone to tell Ken the good news. I love doing this, it is worth all the work. We don’t get them all but the many of the rings we find may have been lost forever.

Lost Palladium Wedding Band at 4 Seasons Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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


This ring find began when I got a call last week from the 4 Seasons Security. I was told a local gentleman named Chris was swimming in the lagoon with his son and somewhere on the North side his ring came off. My first hunt walking and then on scuba didn’t produce a Palladium ring. Then yesterday when I went back for a different ring hunt I popped onto the Palladium ring near shore more towards the center of the lagoon. Sure enough when I contacted Chris he came over and comfirmed the ring was his. It fit perfectly. Another very grateful customer. Aloha to Chris!

Lost Silver Ring and White Gold with Diamonds Engagement Ring Found in Clinton Township Michigan

A Happier THIRD Anniversary!

This very nice couple lost the big diamond part of their engagement rings while doing yardwork and gardening about a week ago. Understandingly they have been extremely stressed out over the loss. Her hands were wet washing dirt off her hands and moving yard tools around. She was scooping dirt and throwing it into the garden bed and afterwards noticed part of the ring was gone. When I spoke with him/her she thought the ring could be between the garden and shed further east in the yard. As we made arrangements to meet today she mentioned it was their 3rd anniversary today and wouldn’t it be nice to find the missing ring.
I agreed to come by and before I arrived they re-inacted what they thought happened by throwing a silver ring with gemstones in the general trajectory of where she thought the white gold ring went. So now I had 2 rings to find!
We all searched along the fence and nothing came up so I started in the garden and right away the silver ring revealed itself!
They were amazed and felt this was giving us hope the gold ring would be found as they said they searched the garden bed and nothing came up. I visually extended the line from where she was standing over and past the silver ring and started my grid search. Nothing in the garden but just outside the garden 20 feet from the silver ring I got a clear +14 on my MXT meter I knew from past searches this was the range of where this type of ladies white gold registers at! Using my Garrett carrot I scanned and got a nice tight spot and the vibration of the pinpointer said look here! Under the grass this really pretty and sentimental ring shined upward at me! As you can see they both were so relieved at having the ring back and can move forward with happiness as the wedding is planned for spring 2019! As for today tho I strongly suggested a celebration!
And in fact should celebrate all month!

Lost Diamond Pendant Longmeadow, MA

  • from Westerly (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

While escaping a moth attack, a resident of Longmeadow, MA broke her necklace and her heirloom 1 ct. diamond pendant went flying! The diamond pendant fell through the decking and landed in the crushed rocks below. Luckily it was a second-story deck and the lost diamond pendant didn’t require an army-crawl search. The couple was devastated and purchase their own metal detector to make an attempt at finding the lost diamond. The small gold clasp was hardly enough metal to give a good signal for the average metal detector. Only the highest quality metal detection equipment is sensitive enough to find gold of this size. When deeply valued jewelry is lost, you have to try something! After their own metal detection effort and even a rock removal effort, the couple decided to call a member of The Ring Finders Metal Detection Service.

Through a quick Google search gentleman immediately found The Ring Finders website and my business website. We scheduled the search and a couple of weeks later I arrived in Longmeadow, MA to find the lost diamond pendant. After searching the area I came up with a couple of small pieces of tin foil, which gives off the same type of signal as the small clasp securing the lost diamond. I began to expand my search area after coming up empty-handed directly under the decking where the moth attack took place. Expanding the lost diamond search all the way to the house foundation proves to be a tough search as the large amounts of metal in the concrete foundation make the metal detector go crazy. Suddenly I heard a faint signal through all the noise created by the house foundation. Clearing away a few of the crushed rocks, I saw the shiny diamond peeking out from its hiding place. After a short celebration, we headed upstairs to surprise the owner of the lost diamond pendant! Another lost heirloom diamond found and reunited with its owner!

Lost a piece of jewelry in your yard? Even if it was lost decades ago, it’s not too late to find it! Jewelry is commonly lost during our favorite summertime activities. Don’t waste your time with a metal detector rental or purchase or with a local hobbyist, have a professional member of The Ring Finders find you lost ring or jewelry. I serve Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and short distances into other surrounding states. If you lost a piece of jewelry, contact me now through www.TheRingFinders.com or www.metaldetectionkeithwille.com or call me at 860-917-8947.

Wedding Ring Lost at Santa Monica Beach…Found and Returned.

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

If you lose your ring or other metal item of value, don’t wait, time will work against you, please call as soon as possible. 310-953-5268

I was sitting at home when I received a call from David, he said that he had lost his wedding ring at the beach earlier and wondered if I could come to find it for him. The ring had been left with their belongings on the towel, when, then his wife Maria picked up something on the towel and the ring was swallowed up by the sand. He said he and his wife had not moved from the area of the loss, and would remain there until I came. It seemed as though they were doing everything right to enable me to help them, so I decided to grab my equipment and go right away.

Traffic was on my side and I got there a little sooner than I thought I would. It was after dark now so we needed to coordinate via phone in order to get together. David found me on the bike path, and walked me over to the area. They had left their towel exactly where they had been sitting, so I was encouraged for a recovery. One pass, one bottle cap, and then a good signal, one more scoop, and there was the ring in the bottom of my scoop. I forgot my headlamp in my vehicle, so it made it a little difficult locating the ring in the scoop, but once found I was able to hand it back to David who told me they had been married for 2 1/2 years. Dave and Maria could sleep well last night. It is always great to see the smiles after a successful recovery!

Sometimes its not a ring! 8-9-2018

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Received a call for a lost key fob along with a few other keys. Key fobs costing what they do these days, can be fairly expensive to replace. This was dropped at high tide yesterday. Recovered in approx 15 minutes. Btw, keys are usually tough to get back after they’ve been sitting as they are bulky and easily picked up by a beach rake, beach patron, or freelance Detectorist. Luckily for this client they were still in the area where she dropped them, which, ended up being under someone’s chair today.

Two lost gold rings found on Maine beach

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from a man named Matt whose wife had lost two rings including her wedding ring on the beach at Reid State Park in Maine. The couple was on a multi stop camping vacation and were continueing on, planning to email directions to the area where the rings were lost after they arrived at the next site.  Unfortunately cell service was nil at there new location and by using the camp grounds land line I received voice mail directions. A+++ to Matt for his treasure mapping because X pretty much marked the spot. Utilizing his landmarks and height of tide references, about 10 minutes of sweeping and the rings were recovered about 7 inches deep. I caught up to them at their next stop not far from my house to return the rings; talk  about some happy campers. To stay on the camping theme a portion of their generous reward will be donated to Hurricane Island Outward Bound to be used towards scholarships for their world class outdoor programs.

Highland Park Beach Ring found in water

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

Received an email at 1:54 AM to look for a gold enameled wedding ring. It came off in the water, the sand or by a bench. The only thing certain was that it was gone. The couple were visiting from Germany and would be leaving Chicago in about5 days. She had put on suntan lotion and the ring came off at the beach. They knew the different areas that they had been sitting. They had moved to different locations at the beach. She had gone back and forth into the water. She said that she had not gone into deep water. So I first started in the sand where they had first been situated. Nothing! Since the beach had small rocks in some areas, I thought that had the ring fallen off there it would be visible. The water was calm and I thought that the water was the most likely spot. I searched the water chest high. I had wadders and she said it was not deep. Nothing! I worked my way toward shore where there were lost of small rocks. In about two feet of water, in the rocky section I got a hard hit with my CTX. I could look down and saw nothing. I used my handheld waterproof pinpointer to find the area. still didn’t see anything. Pushed some of the rocks away with the pinpointer and there was the ring!! Its always great to make people happy.

Received a call at about 6:30 from a young man seeking help. The couple had been married only a month and were at Oak Street beach with a group of friends.

When He called me I told him to stop the digging. The ring could sink deeper. I arrived and found her ring in about 30 seconds!!

Lost Wedding Ring Found in Surf at San Clemente, CA. .. Returned to Grateful Owners

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Bill and his a family were enjoying the day at San Clemente State Beach. Bill handed his wedding ring to his wife, Taylor for safe keeping. Then went for a swim in the ocean.

Taylor was busy playing with their young children on the beach. She had put Bill’s ring on her finger as she had done many times before without any problems. Sometime during the next couple hours the ring that Taylor was guarding on her finger slipped off into the sand.

When I got to the area where they had spent most of the day, we decided that the most likely place for the ring to be was under the umbrella and main play zone. I started the grid search there. I hadn’t finished that location when Taylor said she did take the kids 40 ft. down the slope into the shallow water for a few minutes. Tide was rising, so I changed my plan and went to the waters edge. The incoming waves were just over my ankles when I got a good signal. Put the scoop in the sand and pulled out Bill’s white gold wedding band. 

Success and another ring that was returned to a very nice couple who were very appreciative and happy to have found TheRingFinders website.
