The Case of the Missing Wedding Rings

I received a frantic call from a lovely woman who was absolutely distraught. Oh no, she’d lost her diamond wedding ring set at St. Augustine Beach, Florida.

She explained that she had been refinishing furniture in her garage and, to protect them, slipped her rings into her back pant pocket. Deciding to take a break, she headed to the beach to walk her dogs. She also put a dog poop bag in the same pocket. Somewhere along their walk, several blocks down the beach, she pulled out the dog poop bag. When she got home, she realized her wedding rings were gone.

I immediately met her, and we walked up and down the beach. She desperately tried to retrace her steps, hoping to pinpoint where she might have pulled out the plastic bag, thinking that’s when the rings fell out. I searched the area for several hours, but unfortunately, had no luck. Due to the rising tide, I had to return the next day to continue the search across the large area. Again, no luck, though I was quite certain that if the rings had been lost in the areas we searched, I would have found them.

The lady was incredibly thankful for all my efforts but told me she had given up hope of ever finding them. I reassured her to never give up hope, promising I would continue my search. That night, I lost sleep, racking my brain for other possible locations.

Early the next morning, I called her and told her I was heading back to St. Augustine. I suggested we search her garage, even though she was convinced the rings were lost on the beach.

Her wedding set was located right there, under the workbench in her garage. She had tears of joy!

300th Find and Return, Man’s Lost Tungsten Wedding Band Myrtle Beach SC

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

I received a text right at noon saying, “I don’t know if this is the right number, but I found it online for a ring finder at Myrtle Beach. I lost my tungsten wedding ring in the waves out at the beach near 19th Ave south and Southern Breeze Oceanfront. Is there any possible chance it could even be found, or would the undertow and waves at about 3 feet deep have carried it out?” I called the attached number and talked to Logan and asked him what time he lost it. He said about an hour before his text. I looked up the tide table for Myrtle Beach and high tide was at 11:27 am. Perfect, the tide had changed, so I told him there was a great chance of finding it and I’d be there at 3 pm. That would put me there right at mid-tide.

Right around 2 pm, I was getting antsy, so I text him saying I was on my way. With this being Sunday, I was concerned the beach would be packed with tourist and there wouldn’t be any parking. I got lucky with both and met Logan on the beach. He showed me the area and explained that he was about knee deep. He also made a comment about getting hit in the back with a wave. This confused me a little, in that I thought he may have been deeper than he thought with an outgoing tide. He gave me the north and south boundaries, and I started an east/west perpendicular to the beach grid line. After almost an hour and a half of searching and extending my search area on all four sides, I was coming up with nothing. Towards the end I was going in the ocean knee deep at mid tide. I went so far as asking a lady, who’d been on the beach longer than I was, if she saw anybody else with a detector. I also asked the lifeguard if anybody had turned in a ring. I was whooped, both mentally and physically. I called Logan and told him I couldn’t find it. I could tell in his voice he was hurt that I couldn’t find his ring.

I drove a couple of blocks towards home and remembered I had brought a second detector, which I usually do as a back-up. I called Logan back and told him I was going back to try again with a different detector. Logan had already called his wife, who’ll be here later this week, and told her he lost it, I was going to search, and then that I couldn’t find it. So, they were both on a little bit of a roller coaster ride.

I walked back out on the beach with a second wind and started a north/south grid line. About 30 minutes later I hit a target with a VDI (visual display indicator) of 18, exactly what a man’s Tungsten wedding band would show up as. No doubt in my mind that I had Logan’s ring. Took a scoop of sand, dumped in out on the beach, and moved the sand with my foot. There it was! I took a picture and sent to Logan saying, “Found it!! I’ll drop it off.” He responded instantly, “Oh my GOD. Thank you so much!! I don’t know if I just missed it on my first search or my southern boundary wasn’t far enough, regardless of how or why, the ring was found and returned.

Logan – So happy I got your treasure back where it belongs. Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Gold Bracelet and Gold and Emerald Earrings Lost in the Sand at Manhattan Beach…Found and Happily Returned

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

If you have lost anything important to you, please call right away, don’t wait because time will work against you. Steve Smith 310-953-5268

Olivia called me asking if I could help her. She had been at the beach with a friend. She wisely removed her jewelry to go into the water, and put them on her towel. What happened next was that her friend lifted the towel not knowing the jewelry was there, and they were lost in the sand. I let her know I would leave right away for the search.

When I got to the beach Olivia was not there yet, so I began my search in the area described. It took about 5 minutes, and I had her bracelet, and both her earrings. I waited for her to get to the search site, and was able to give them all back at that time. She informed me that the earrings were a gift from her mother, which made them extra special. A great recovery!

 

Huge gold chain lost and found in Apsley Ontario

Received a text from Lou yesterday about him having lost his gold chain while swimming. Lou, and his young family, had rented a cottage near Apsley on Chandos lake. While playing with the kids, he did a few dives off the dock only to realize later that his huge gold chain was no longer around his neck. After arriving early this morning and getting situated, I got in the water and went to work with my Excalibur II under water metal detector. After eliminating a few trash signals, I heard the sweet tone of gold and found his chain within ten minutes. Although the chain is very valuable due to the size and weight, it is priceless as it was given to him by his grandmother. Another happy ending.

White Gold Wedding Ring lost and found in Hampshire, Illinois.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

I received a text message from Nick today (6-28-2025) about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, asking if I still metal detected for lost rings.
I responded, « Yes, I do. »
He went on to tell me that he thinks that he might have lost it at the ball diamonds earlier this morning while coaching his daughters softball team. So we set up a time to meet around 7 p.m. at the ballfields. When I arrived, Nick showed me where they had practiced earlier in the day. Nick and his wife spent a few hours searching the diamond for Nick’s lost ring, with no luck. That’s when Nick found a Reddit post about @theringfinders and a successful search that took place in Nebraska. Nick then searched out The Ring Finders .com and found me there and reached out from there. I started by searching the piles of dirt that Nick had raked up. Oh, did I mention that Nick and his wife had raked the entire infield by hand, looking for his ring!! Unfortunately, to no avail. So I then did an entire grid search on the infield, again to no avail. That’s when Nick suggested that I search the small grass strip in front of the dugout. So I started behind home plate and started searching towards 3rd base as Nick followed along. About half way to 3rd I got the sound I was waiting for! A double tapping low tone! The DĒUS II VDI display was flashing a solid 58! As I looked down at the ground I could see Nick’s 10K white gold wedding ring laying in the grass!

Success!!
Another smile for the book! 😁👍🏼

Black Diamond / Tungsten wedding ring, FOUND!

Lost a ring? Dont wait, Call NOW! 608-780-4525
Received a call from Amber. Amber explained that her husband lost his wedding ring while playing in the surf and getting “rolled” by a wave. Amber said she had someone else out to look for it and he could not locate the ring. After gathering details and checking tide and surf data I decided that Tuesday afternoons low tide would be a good time to try for the ring. Shortly after arriving at the beach I began a “meticulous” search grid from the wet sand down into the surf. About 45 minutes later I had the ring in my scoop. The waves were pretty rough and I myself got “washed” a few times but still managed a successful recovery. Another happy couple!
See Ambers review below:
“Sunday afternoon my husband was boogie boarding with our son in Cape May. My husband has recently lost some weight and therefore his ring was a little loose. A wave knocked my husband off balance, and a secondary wave wiped him out, losing his ring in the tide.
I called one service and they were unable to locate the ring right after it happened.
I was in contact with Jeff as well, who was busy the day of, but said he would search in days to come.
Tuesday afternoon came, and he had found it!
I will forever be grateful! he took an hour out of his day and was able to find it right where my husband knew it came off, the other guys must have passed right over it! I highly recommend to call Jeff if you lose anything!

Last evening I received a text message from Meg around 10:30pm. Meg explained that she is staying at Angel Of The Sea B&B here in Cape May. She was sitting on the 3rd floor balcony, taking in the evening with her husband when her wedding ring slipped off her finger and rolled off the porch falling into the flower beds / shrubbery below. Meg said that she had been searching with her husband for a while and would really appreciate some assistance. I took the short ride over from home and met up with the couple. After searching for about 20 minutes I was able to recover her ring at the base of some bushes beneath the porch. Meg and her husband were very relieved to have the ring back! Another happy couple!
