Galveston is one of the most popular year-round coastal destinations in our second largest state TEXAS. It is an island in the Gulf of Mexico. You can still take a road trip here because it is connected to the mainland by a bridge. It is a city that offers many historical and cultural attractions, water sports, and great hotels and resorts. Galveston TX has most of its businesses downtown, but also offers many rental residences with access to the Galveston beaches.

Lost Wedding Ring in Daytona Beach Surf….Found!
Late one evening I received an e-mail from Marc asking if I could find his lost wedding ring in the surf at Daytona Beach. Earlier that day Marc and his family were enjoying the waves when he realized his wedding ring was missing. He spent an hour or so looking in the sandy surf when he realized it would be next to impossible to actually find it without the use of a metal detector. Unfortunatly they were to leave very early the next morning for Toronto, Canada and that’s what led him to theringfinders.com. Thankfully Marc was able to give me excellent directions and a very precise idea as to where he lost the ring. It took 2 visits to the beach and a total of 7 hours, but miracles do still happen! The following week I was able to send the ring by UPS and Marc was reunited with his lost wedding band.
I just love it when people’s stories have a happy ending and when vacations are not dampened by the loss of something so special!
Thank you Marc for your generous reward and for passing on the word about theringfinders.com
Lost something recently? The sooner you call the better!

Hi, my name is Steve Smith.
I am retired, which allows me to do a search at all hours of the day or night. I look forward to being a help to all who call. This hobby has been a great learning experience, and I have made sure that for the searches that I go on, I am using the best up to date equipment that is available. I have also found that being a member of The Ringfinders, and helping people find what they thought was “Lost Forever” has been a very rewarding experience. Please make the possibility of finding your valuable a success by calling as soon as you can after the loss.
Best regards,
Steve Smith
Lost Ring .. Moonlight Beach, Encinitas, CA. .. Found in Sand
Sunday March 16, 2014
It was just before sunset and I was detecting at Pacific Beach, CA. Actually I was talking to a couple guys that were also detecting the same beach, when I received a call from Dalya. She sounded desperate as she had lost her ring in the sand and had spent quite sometime trying to find a way to get some help trying to locate her ring. After asking her a few questions I told her I could meet her and Kile at Moonlight Beach within 45 minutes. It was only about 18 miles, but I had to walk back to my car and I wasn’t sure about the traffic.
When I arrived at the Moonlight Beach I met Dalya and Kile. They told me that they had put their cell phone, keys and her ring in Kile’s shoe. When Kile came back to put on his shoes he removed the larger items not realizing the ring was in the shoe. He shook the sand out of his shoe and the ring. They located me on line when they tried to see if they could rent a metal detector. It was beginning to get dark as we walked about a couple blocks to the general area. Kile said he had dumped the sand out of the shoe near the rocks pointing to a location of about 30 feet next to the rocks. I was told that the ring was silver which helps to identify the sound I will hear. My machine has a screen that will show me a number of 12-46 for a silver item. This all helps when there is a lot of trash in the search area. I made three passes along the rocks out towards the cleaner sand. Kile had thought the ring may be close to the rocks and I knew that would be a difficult search. I was 10 feet out from the rocks when I got that silver tone and a 12-46 reading on my screen. I scooped into the sand telling them, this is your ring. Held the scoop up to Dalya asking her to pick the ring out of the sand. I was awesome to see how happy she was to have her ring in her hand. You can see the smiles on the photo I was able to take of them.
Dalya told me that the ring was a gift to her from her mother when they had visited Jeusalem, Israel. I’m still amazed that we can make all this happen using the new technology that did not exist several years ago, Cell phones, Ditial Cameras, Internet, Moble maps, GPS and Modern Metal Metectors. I used a MInelab CTX 3030 metal detector to make this find.
Lost Keys .. Newport Beach, CA. .. Found in the sand
Saturday, March 15, 2014
It has been a while sense I recieved a call to find a lost item. The weather has been beautiful in So. Calif. I’m sure that people have a need for our service but people are still learning about The RingFinders.
This morning I recieved a call from Glen. He had found me through a Google link that showed up when he tried to find a metal detector for rent. His nephews Mark and Mat were visiting from Germany and Glen had lent them his car. They went to Newport Beach Friday evening to look at the waves while watching the sunset. When they returned to the car the keys were not in Mark’s back pocket. It was dark making it difficult to find the keys. These were the only set of keys. The car had to be towed home and they were looking at possibly paying as much as $300 to have a new set made.
I live only 4 miles away so I was able to meet Uncle Glen Saturday about 11:30 am at the general location. Mark and Mat would not be able to get to our location till after 1:00pm. I decided to search the towel line before too many people took over the search area. After the nephews arrived I asked them if they had been doing any activities that would cause them to lose the keys. They had only walked 200 yards from their parking lot to the top of the dry sand ( which is know as the towel line ). We all walked to the area they believed they were sitting. I could see where I had already searched and I had only 15 or 20 feet from this spot. Within 3 minutes we had the keys. It does help to have good directions. I still enjoyed the hunt. Everybody was so happy and they will be able to enjoy their vacation. I was happy that the keys were not dropped in that 200 yard walk from the car to the place they were sitting. It was a pleasure to help these guys and the people on the beach were also very co-operative.

Received the following e-mail 03-13-2014 Thursday
Hey John,
I got your contact info from the ring finder website. I recently
lost my Aggie ring. I believe it fell off in my neighbors yard, while I was
picking up some trash that had blown into his leaf piles. I’m 99% sure where it
fell. My neighbor gave me permission to look, but I have not been successful.
I’m a veterinary student in college station, tx. What would it cost to have you
drive out here and have a look? Do you know anyone in this area that would be
willing to assist? The ring is very important to me, and had a stone from my
grandmother in it.
Kohl
Spoke with Kohl on Thursday and he explained the circumstances surrounding the loss of his class ring. Kohl explained the ring was important, but the diamond in his ring had been handed down to him from his grandmother, making it irreplaceable. Kohl and I , worked out some travel expenses issues, and arrangements were made from Sunday morning. I made the 1:45 minute trip out to Kohl’s today meeting him at his residence. Kohl walked the search area with me pointing out the areas he believed he may have lost his ring. The search area was relatively small with several sections of the lawn had exposed dirt surfaces. I knew if the ring was in the remaining grass or leaves it would be a very fast recovery.
These are the difficult stories; the ring was not in the yard. I worked that lawn so hard I may have killed the remaining grass.
Having searched for A&M rings in the past, I knew the school had a lost and found specific to class rings. Even the local area police departments, having checked this for myself, contact the schools when a class ring is turned into them. I directed Kohl to notify the school, and to continue the search for his ring. Kohl advised he would notify me if he finds his missing ring.
Thanks,
John Volek

Lost Woman’s Wedding Ring in Delaware, OH. “FOUND”
Back at the beginning of the year she was having fun with a snow ball fight in her back yard. During the throwing and tossing of snowballs her wedding ring became missing. She thought that she lost the ring while she was taking off her gloves to clean her glasses. She and friends looked throughout the yard without any luck. Then she found myself though TheRingFinder.com website and was happy that someone was in the area and still finding rings for others. After searching the area, there was the ring tuck down under the grass. She was very happy to have the ring back.

I received a call Wednesday from Jennifer who had located me on www.theringfinders.com she was looking for someone to help her find her mother’s lost wedding ring.
Jennifer reported her mother Barbara had lost her ring in the front yard of her residence while tending to the front lawn and flower beds. Jennifer said her mother was pretty sure she lost her wedding ring of 20 years while working in the yard today.
I asked Jennifer a few more questions about the area to be searched and recommended she tell her mom not to mow the front lawn.
Final arrangements were discussed and plans were made for Friday morning.
Jennifer called me back a few minutes after our conversation ended; reportin her mother’s lawn service had cut the grass Wednesday afternoon. I told Jennifer we will hope for the best, and if the ring is in the yard I would find it.
I made the trip out to Pasadena this morning and meet with Barbara and was shown the areas in the yard where she believed she may have lost her ring.
Barbara returned inside of her residence while I searched the front yard and flower beds. About 15 minutes in, a good solid signal with a depth rate of one inch, I knew I was on the ring.
I packed up my gear and knocked on the front door a few minutes later. Barbara called out, come on in. As I made my way to the living area of the house I heard Barbara say “you couldn’t find it”?
I held out my hand and presented Barbara her missing wedding ring which resulted in some big hugs and smiles.
Thanks,
John Volek
