While exchanging high fives with the players on a young ladies soccer team, her gold anniversary ring slipped off her finger. Despite a careful search by the girls, the ring could not be found. After being called, I was able to locate the ring quickly with my detector. Happy ending, good karma.
Last night was awesome! I got a message from Terri about 8:30 explaining that her daughter had lost her class ring earlier in the day in the edge of the Gulf. She had Lilly call me and explain some of the details. I knew we had to find this ring because it was her class ring for her Undergrad and her Graduate degree. I cringed when I asked if they had put any info on social media and she said yes. I looked online and found the exact location in multiple spots. I knew this ring had to be found immediately so I asked my wife if she was up for a night trip. She agreed so we headed out right away. I spent about an hour getting beaten by the shore break and then decided to change my search pattern a bit. It wasn’t long after that when I heard a very deep gold tone and gently scooped out Lilly’s very meaningful gold and Diamond class ring. We all high fived and celebrated by the glow of the flashlights. I’m very glad everyone was up for a night trip and Lilly has her ring back. 😃👍

Cole had been playing in the park with his dog, when with the flick of his wrist, his ring flew off of his hand and landed in the tall grass. He and a friend had scoured the area for at least an hour before calling, and requesting help. They had remained there, so I told them I would come immediately.
When I got there, I needed to find out exactly where they were, and find a place to park out on the main street because the park had closed for the night. When I did find them Cole showed me where he had been standing, and what he did to make the ring fly off of his hand, so I had a starting point. He thought it might have flown far, so I was prepared for a lengthy search. I got my gear on and began, and within 5 swings of my detector, I had a strong signal. I pulled out my pin pointer, put it in, and found Cole’s ring about 2 inches under the grass. I brought it up, and he was a bit surprised that it had been so close all along. Well, some smiles were made that day, and he could leave the park with a sigh of relief.

Trishla contacted me about her lost ring. She had been at Venice Beach, and had lost it from the tent they had set up. Her friend not knowing she had removed the ring and put it in the tent, picked the tent up, and shook it out when they were ready to leave for the day. They stayed there, and I let them know I would come as soon as possible.
When I got there It took a couple of minutes to find them, and I made my way over. They explained the way the ring was lost, and showed me the possible area. I began my search and worked out into the surrounding area. I made about 5 passes in my grid when I got a real nice signal, dug, and had Trishla’s ring in the scoop. I brought it out and showed her, and she immediately became emotional. That is when they told me that ring was given to her by her mother when she was about 9 years old, and it had a profound special meaning to her. I was glad to have reunited Trishla with such a precious keepsake.

Sour Summer Turns Sweet
Wednesday, May 29, 2024
I was settling into a normal Wednesday evening routine of doing the dinner dishes, getting the kids ready for bed, and bedtime reading when a fellow detectorist from Madison texted me and asked if I was up for a hunt. An all too common tale…a young man lost his wedding band at the beach. The lost wedding band was just a seven minute drive away at a beach I routinely hunt, so I texted the owner, Ryan, to see if he still needed help.
Ryan, a high school math teacher from Florida, had finished up his school year and was visiting family in Lake Geneva, WI. Before going for a swim, he took off his ring and set it on his beach blanket. Regardless of how it ended up in the sand, his sweet su
mmer trip had suddenly soured. Inscribed into his wedding band is “with my whole heart, for my whole life.” Ryan and his wife perhaps needed to lean a bit more into that promise as this treasured memento of their wedding day was lost.
I met Ryan just as the sun was beginning to sink below the horizon. He showed me the spot where their blanket was laid down, near a lifeguard stand. I expanded the search area much wider than I thought necessary and started a grid search. One of Ryan’s nephews suggested I move closer to the area where their blanket has been. I didn’t want to miss the ring on my first pass, and explained that I would work my way toward the spot. It wasn’t long before I hit a strong signal and the ring was found.
Everyone was excited, and after some photos, the ring was back on Ryan’s finger.
It felt so good to see his smile and know I helped, a bit, turn this sour experience sweet again. And despite the challenges that life will bring, I hope Ryan will always lean into his marriage promise, “with my whole heart, for my whole life.” This is a good reminder for all of us.

Lindsey texted me saying she had dropped her engagement ring off of a dock and into 7 feet of water and weeds and asked if there was any way I could help her and her husband! They had been sitting on the dock and enjoying the cool evening breeze and Lindsey said she was kind of fiddling with her 2 rings and all of a sudden they both slipped off and she happened to actually catch her wedding band but her engagement ring fell to the deck and then she heard it hit the water. Her dear husband Cole, spent a total of 6 hours diving and trying desperately to find her ring but to no avail. A search on line led them to one of my stories on theringfinders.com web site and after talking with them I agreed to conduct a scuba dive search around the dock. Neither one of them had actually seen where the ring fell into the water so I figured to start right under where they were sitting. My wife and I arrived later that day with all my gear and as I suited up I said a short prayer to God Almighty and asked that He might help me find this special ring and be a blessing to this dear, young, newly wed couple! Normally there are lots of metal targets under docks but here it was super quiet as I swept my XP MI-6 pin pointer through the mud and slowly made my way across the back side of the dock. I had stuck a 10 foot PVC pole down into the water about where we were able to determine the most likely area where Lindsey’s ring could have rolled and landed…and we were right on target! Five minutes into the dive and the very first signal that sounded off was Lindsey’s lost engagement ring! I swam back to my starting point and stood up and took off my mask and said, « Anyone want to see what I just found? »
How I thank God for giving me the opportunity and the privilege to help Lindsey and Cole!
How can I help you? Call or text me anytime and let’s talk!

Simon had been laying out a course in some paddocks near Kamo, outside Whangarei on a hot January day.
Afterwards, he headed to a water trough, removed his gloves and plunged his hands into the cool water.
As he walked away shaking his hands to dry them off, he noticed his wedding ring was missing.
The sludge in the bottom of the trough was searched several times for the lost ring and his wife hired a metal detector, but without experience their efforts were in vain.
Fast forward six months, and I was on the road to meet Simon at the paddock to see what I could do.
He had been held up, so I got started.
Twenty minutes later I sent Simon a photo of a muddy ring, found some distance from the trough likely having been flung as he shook his hands.
He arrived just a few minutes later – not quite believing I had already found it.
I received a call shortly after 3:30pm on Saturday, June 1st from Emily. She said she had lost a very sentimental ring in the soft sand and some locals recommended she call me. I told her I could be there in about 30 minutes, grabbed my gear and was on my way. On the way, I called Emily back to get some additional information. While I was talking to Emily, I had another call come in. When I finished the call with Emily, I called the 2nd caller back. That call was for a lost ring in the ocean and was time critical due to the changing tide.
Emily called me back as I was getting close to Sunset Beach and said her boyfriend was waiting by the street down the path from the beach access point. I parked and met her boyfriend who walked me out to the beach where I met Emily. Emily stated the ring was a silver ring that belonged to her grandmother. Emily showed me the suspected area, which was under a beach tent. I turned on the Nox 800 and searched the cleared area of the tent with nothing. I was moving toward the other half of the tent and asked if the chairs and a table could be moved. When the table was moved, one of Emily’s friends, TJ said, “Found it.” Not sure if the ring was sitting on top of the sand or got kicked up when the table was moved. So mission accomplished and Emily had her ring back. I headed out enroute to the next call.
Sunday, I text Emily back to get the full story of her ring that I didn’t get in my haste to answer the 2nd call. She graciously replied saying, “She had taken the ring off and sat it in her bag while working on a small art project to commemorate her and her boyfriend’s 1st beach trip together. The artwork involved glue, so she had taken her ring off and put it in her bag. Sometime later the tide came in and her and her friends were rushing to get the umbrellas and chairs moved higher on the beach. Her bag was knocked over in the process and she didn’t realize the loss until they made it back to the car.” She continued saying, “The ring was her grandmother’s graduation ring from nursing school class of 1963. Her grandmother passed in December and Emily has worn the ring every day since. Emily is completing nursing school and will graduate in the fall. She’s following in her grandmother’s footsteps.” The last thing Emily told me, that put this loss into perspective, was that “The ring may not cost much, but it is absolutely irreplaceable to me.”
Emily – Thank you for calling me. Good luck with your career and I’m sure your grandmother would be very honored and proud of you.
Jim
