When Alyssa lost her wedding ring at the beach she asked a lifeguard for help and he gave her my contact info. I arrived a short time later and Alyssa told me she got up out of her chair and the ring fell into the sand.
This was a quick recovery since she knew the area of the loss. Alyssa and her family were visiting from Colorado and now she has her ring to take home with her.
While swimming with his wife and enjoying their final days in paradise before returning to Michigan, Peter noticed that the gold and diamond ring he’d placed on his wife’s finger nearly 43 years ago to the day was missing. Carefully he took notice of the spot, going in so far as to imbed an umbrella holder to mark the exact location. Well it’s only lost until you call! Their priorities were in order as they took their prayers and petitions to the Top, praying to God rather than St Anthony. The rest is now history and new memories are being forged. Gold and diamond wedding band found and returned on Bonita Beach, Bonita Springs Florida.
I received a call from Kristopher requesting my service to locate his I-Phone which he thought he had lost in the snowbank when his car became stuck. When I arrived I could see where Kristopher had dug himself out of the bank so I searched the area but I couldn’t find the phone. He told me that he had also been stuck at the end of the alley. I could not find his phone there either and told him that somebody must have picked it up. He was very worried and then out of nowhere, a lady came up to us and asked us what are we doing. We told her that we were searching for a phone, and she told us that her neighbour had picked a phone up off the side walk. We knocked on the neighbours door and, yes, he had picked up his phone.
Kristopher was very thankful to have his I-phone back in his hand.
Kate reached out to me wanting to know if it was possible to locate her engagement that slipped off her finger during the day somewhere at the beach. It was late in the evening, and after determining that it was close to high tide when it most likely came off, it would be best to wait until the early morning low tide. We arranged to meet early the next morning at the dune walkover. As we were heading to the location I had asked her to mark in google maps we talked about the main things she could remember leading up the the ring disappearing. Once we got to the spot, she showed me some pictures she had, before and after the ring went missing. Something didn’t look just right, but I figured I would check the area that was marked. After coming up empty handed I asked her to see the pics again, it was then I knew that was not quit the right location. I adjusted the location about 40′ to the north, and things looked just right, including the piles of seaweed that had pushed high up on the hill the prior day when the pics were taken. Kate confirmed after looking at the pics that this was absolutely the right location. Combined with the rough surf, was the fact that she was boogie boarding, and that is never a good thing when doing a recovery. Kate did remember one wave that knocked her down, where she lost the board, and that was luckily close to the beach in waist deep water. I decided to hit that area real quick, and while Kate was in about knee deep water looking, I got a signal that made my eyes open wide. With the waves crashing right where I was, I took extra time to zero in on the exact spot, and hoped to grab it on the first scoop. Sure enough I had it on the first try, BINGO, it was her absolutely stunning ring!!!!! Kate had no idea what had just taken place just a few feet behind her, as I scooted up the hill , past the waves to get a better look and clean it off. At that moment I decided to make a video to capture her response, which you will see I’m not very good at. (Will be posted soon) Her reaction was something that makes this profession SO SO rewarding that no words could ever explain.
On Friday, March 8th, I received the following message from Corey, “Hi, I have a house in Surfside Beach. One of the guests has dropped a necklace and the crucifix came off of it and can’t be located. Checking to see if you’re interested in trying to find it.” I responded saying “Sure. Call me,” and sent him my number. When he called he gave me a few more details. He mentioned that when the crucifix was dropped on the concrete it bounced, possibly in an area beside the driveway. I told him I’d be there in 30-45 minutes. I also asked him to text me the address, which he did.
On the drive down, Corey sent me a picture of the area, with a red circle around the particle spot where the crucifix had been dropped. When I pulled into the driveway, I got a better idea of the possibilities of what I needed to do. First, I did a visual of the entire area, looking through 2 boxes of kid’s shovels, buckets and other beach toys with no luck. Next I looked in and around a golf cart, including releasing the brake to move the cart and looked under the tires. Still nothing, I pulled my Gold Bug with a 6” coil out of the car and started detecting the ground holding a row of trees, mulch and dead leaves beside the driveway. I pulled out about a dozen roofing and siding nails, pull tabs and bottle caps, but still no crucifix. I went to the neighbor’s yard and did the back side of the tree line. I moved over to the opposite side of the driveway and checked the grass area. I was out of ideas, so I grabbed my Equinox 800, lowered the sensitivity and researched the tree line. I called Corey and told him I hadn’t had any luck. He told me that Kim, who is the owner of the cleaning company that cleans the rental, was coming over and would be there in about 10 minutes. I told him I’d wait.
When Kim arrived she told me that in the process of cleaning the house, she had found the chain and crucifix among other items the renters had left behind. In the process of moving the items downstairs to the garage she set everything down on the seat of the golf cart. At that time the crucifix was still on the chain. When she picked up everything to move it to the garage is when she noticed the crucifix was gone. Her co-worker said she heard something hit the concrete and saw it bounce into the tree line. The two searched everywhere and couldn’t find the crucifix, hence I was called. She opened up the garage to show me where she had set everything down. Not sure if when she picked up the items, the crucifix fell out or not but we both saw the crucifix lying on the garage floor. Woo-Hoo!!!! I can’t remember if Kim said the owner lived in Michigan or Wisconsin but she was going to get the crucifix back home soon.
Kim – Thank you for helping solve the mystery.
Corey – Thanks for trusting me and The Ring Finders to help find this treasure.

While spending the day with his family in Marco Island and playing in the waves with his son, Thomas realized his gold band was no longer on his finger. After spending the afternoon looking with a metal detector without any luck, his wife took to the internet and posted the loss. A few responses came back “you gotta call Mark!” Well his wife found Mark, and I was down there with an hour searching. Well so were several other metal detectors too that had seen the post. The rest is now history, found the ring in the abyss, and now their story continues. Remember it’s only list until you call…God does hear and answers prayers! 🙏🏻🎉

Dan and his family were enjoying the first day of vacation in Ocean City, NJ when his wife Christy lost her ring.
She took the ring off to apply sunscreen to her grandson and forgot it was on her knee. Later that evening Christy realized that it was missing. Dan reached out to me the next day and we met up on the beach. I started searching the area and the ring was scooped out of the sand shortly after!

In early January, I received a message about a lost engagement ring from Emma, who was playing in the snow at night at her future mother-in-law’s home, and it slipped off somewhere in the yard next to the driveay
. They had shoveled the snow aside the next day and looked carefully, but could not find it. I brought my trusty Garrett AT Pro, but decided to teach Emma how to use an analog Tesoro Umax, and perhaps recruit another potential metal detectorist to the hobby! Sure enough, after a few surface coins popped out, she found a clear « ringy » signal. I brushed away the snow, and revealed a beautiful emerald and gold ring that took my breath away. I could see why she was concerned! Her beautiful ring was back on her finger and she and her fiancé were relieved.
This ring find began as I was exiting the 4 Seasons Lagoon at Ko Olina Resort. A gentleman named Matt had asked my bud Terry if I had found a wide gold wedding ring and not knowing, he told the gentleman to ask me as I was exiting the water. So Matt who was on his Honeymoon from Paso Robles, California approached me as I was exiting the water and asked if I had found a wide gold wedding band while I was hunting the lagoon. He described perfectly the 18K Gold Band I just found about 30 minutes earlier in chest deep water. To be sure it fit him perfectly and he recognized and described a gash the ring had in it. Matt’s lovely bride Megan joined us and told me they thought it would never be found after losing it the day before. They were thinking it would be out to sea by now. Thankfully the lagoons are calm and most rings just sink to the bottom and stay put. Matt and Megan were very appreciative and happy their Honeymoon was back on a high note. Aloha to Megan & Matt!
Three rings were lost while Emi played in the snow with her kid – Morris, CT.
From Emi:
« I lost three rings. An engagement ring, a wedding band, and an eternity ring. They are all gold with some diamonds. I was sledding with my child, and luckily for photos, we narrowed it to a small timeframe where the areas could be indoors but most likely out in the snow. »
A photo in the main bedroom at around 9:55 AM captured all three rings still on Emi’s finger. Then, a video of Emi and her kid being pulled around on a sled in the front yard shows the rings were missing by 10:06 AM. Emi also told me she fell in the snow, so there was enough outdoor activity that I felt confident the lost rings could be outdoors. I began searching the snow, marking the areas I covered. This property was old, so there was lots of metal in the ground from centuries of occupation. Signals were ringing through my metal-detecting headphones every couple of feet. The high volume of signals complicates a snow search because, with snow on the ground, you cannot just look down and see if the rings are there. I had to dig through the snow to check every signal. It was an emotional rollercoaster for the spectators because every time I bent over to check a signal, it caused some excitement. Then, they were disappointed when they realized the signal was buried under the ground but could still ring through the inches of snow. I eventually heard a signal and pushed the snow out of the way with my foot, exposing a circular, shiny item. It was a thick gold wedding band! The engagement and eternity rings were only a short distance away in another snow pile. Emi and her family were jumping with joy to have the gold rings back!
From Emi:
« Rarely do I leave a review, but I was so impressed with Keith’s quick find. Took him 30 mins to find 3 rings I had lost in the snow. I was out sledding with my kid after a fresh set of snow and of course, didn’t think to wear gloves. It wasn’t until much later that I noticed my rings missing, and after going through photos, we narrowed it down to a small timeframe. We bought a metal detector and searched out in the snow to no avail. I emailed Keith, and he got back to me early next morning with news that he could come in a few days as he was booked. Due to the snow, it seemed like it was a busy time. He came that Sunday and gave me a 2-hour window with an approximate eta. He showed up on time with a very serious metal detector and went straight to work after asking a few questions. He’s a really nice guy with a warm but professional demeanor, and I would hire him again in a heartbeat if it happened again. He’s 100% legit and worth every penny. I am so grateful for his service and can’t thank him enough! Thanks, Keith! »
