While James was walking in the shallows with his 3 year old daughter, an unexpected rogue wave hit. As he reached out to stabilize and prevent her from being knocked over he realized his ring was gone. Lots of prayers…James made the right call. “It’s only lost until you call!” After two days of unsuccessful searching a team of metal detectors was set up – the ring finally turning up, 22 hours of search time. Well, James’ story continues, the ring securely back on his finger. God bless 🙏🏻🎉😇

Trey was enjoying the 4th of July holiday in the refreshing lake when…. you guessed it. His wedding ring of 2 years sank to the bottom. They got face masks and spent time diving down with no success. They turned to the internet, found me and I told him I’d be honored to come recovery it on the 5th out of the private lake.

Lost – Gold princess cut diamond engagement ring, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!

I received a text from Alex on Sunday morning. He said his fiancée had lost her engagement ring the previous day and asked if I could help. I told him to call me right away.

Seconds later, my phone rang. I could hear the tension in his voice as he explained where and when the ring had been lost. They had searched for quite a while but came up empty. I told him I could head there immediately. Since his fiancée, Bryanna, lived about 40 minutes away, he said she would meet me at the beach. I told him I’d get started and wait for her.

As I drove, I prayed that God would guide my search.

When I arrived, I fired up the Minelab Manticore. A few beach tents already occupied the area, and I could still see the marks in the sand from the previous evening’s search.

I began carefully gridding from the edge of the water into the dry sand where Bryanna believed the ring had come off. I had covered most of the likely area and was beginning to wonder if it had been lost somewhere else.

Then came a booming signal.

Just beneath the sand was the ring, crowned with a beautiful, large diamond. It was easy to understand why they had been so worried.

I walked back to the house where I had parked my car at Mike and Pam’s home, Bryanna’s best friend’s parents. Moments later, Bryanna and her mother arrived. I asked Bryanna to tell me one more time where she thought the ring had been lost. As she pointed toward the beach, I slowly raised the ring into her view.

First came a gasp. Then tears of joy.

Praise God! Another precious ring was safely back where it belonged.

Wedding Ring Lost During a Water Ballon Fight-Found

Chris contacted me on Sunday morning and said his wife had lost her ring in the front yard while throwing water ballons on the 4th. He showed me the area they were at so I started there. I was fairly certain that early on in the conversation he said it was white gold, so I was mainly concentrating on shallow low signals. But, after around 30 minutes I got a very strong 72 on the Manticore with the telltale double beep that said it was very shallow or on the surface. A 72 is definately not white gold, but a silver or copper tone, and of course I investigated to see what it would be. It was the lost ring, and after looking at it I saw a 925 inside the band. So it was silver and not white gold. His wife was estatic and said she went to sleep crying the night before. In my book they are newlyweds, only 6 months in. A successful recovery!

Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Wrightsville Beach NC

On June 25, 2026, around 4 p.m. I got a call from Ring Finder John Finnerin, Oak Island NC asking if I’d take a call at Wrightsville Beach NC. John gave me a few details and I told him to go ahead and give the gentleman my phone number. I didn’t hear anything until the morning of 6/26/2026 when Jack called me asking if I could help. At the time, I was driving to another search and I asked him a few details, like where he lost it, wet or dry sand. He stated dry sand, and I asked him if there was any chance of it getting wet, in which he stated no. I asked him to send me the info on the area with an address. I also told him that as soon as I finished the search I was going to I’d let him know. After a successful search, I headed towards Wrightsville Beach and started contemplating what was ahead. Traffic started getting heavy and I thought today being Friday, tourist are coming and going. Parking at the beach would be non-existent and the beach would be crowded. I called Jack and explained my concerns to him and that I was going to hold off until later in the afternoon to go. He understood and agreed. Meanwhile Jack had sent me the beach access number with pictures including a Google map where he had drawn the suspected loss area.

I decided to leave my house around 5 p.m. and make the hour and a half drive, arriving between 7 and 7:15. Everything was working as planned until I tried to find a place to park when I got there. The crowds had moved from the beach to the restaurants and there was still no parking. All the parking at Wrightsville Beach is metered street parking until 8 p.m. so I just kept driving in circles hoping for something. I finally found a spot closer than I thought I would and took it. There was still 15 minutes of pay parking, so I took a chance and didn’t pay the $6 an hour. I found the beach access Jack gave me and took and sent a picture to Jack to show him I was there. When I got out on the beach I looked at the photos Jack sent and set up my search area. About half way through, I took a quick break. As I’m standing there, I see a family with about 20 Adults and kids combined. The adults lined the kids up in two lines to have an egg toss. Unfortunately they were spread out in the exact area I needed to search. So for about 30 minutes or so I stood there watching kids throwing eggs at each other, meanwhile I was losing daylight. When they finished and headed back to their rentals, I picked up where I had left off. It wasn’t long afterwards I hit a solid target that I knew was a gold ring. I scooped up the sand holding the ring, shook it out and there was a gold ring in the scoop. From the description Jack gave me, I knew I had his ring. I took a quick picture of me holding his ring with a text saying, “Yours??” and sent it to him. He immediately responded, Yes!!! I told him I’d get it in the mail to him that Monday and asked for his address, which he supplied. Monday, I got it in the mail and he is supposed to get it by Thursday.

He got the ring in the mail as scheduled and today, Sunday he sent me the pictures I requested. This was a great ending to an almost tragic loss.

Jack – Thank you for allowing me to help find your lost wedding band.

Wedding Band Lost While Preparing Raised Plant Bed-Found!

Nick contacted me and said that his wife had lost her wedding band while preparing a raised plant bed, but she wasn’t sure which one. He and his wife has a matching tungsten carbide band set. The first bed I checked had a good signal, but it turned out to be a larger deep signal. The second bed was larger in size, but all of them had galvanized metal sheeting for the side walls. That was a problem, but I managed to work around it. In the second bed I found a signal that was showing a 30 on the Manticore, but was close to the metal side wall so that number may have been skewed. That 30 on the Manticore turned out to be her ring. It was about four inches deep. The total seach time was only about twelve minutes.

`Silver Mother’s Ring with 3 Stones, Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

This search began on Monday, June 29, 2026, when I received a text from Kimberly at 7:15 a.m. Her text said in part, “Hi, everyone refers me to you. What else do I have to lose? Last week I lost my family/mother’s ring in the ocean while playing catch with my son. The ring came off just below the pier just off to the right of the pier. The ring is a wide band type ring with three birthstones (Aquamarine, emerald and blue topaz) and four names (which she included) engraved on it. The band is silver.” I asked her the basic questions for a water loss, “what day, time, and how deep was she.” We went back and forth with more questions and answers. Finally, I told her I give it a shot. When I got there, I started a mid-beach to knee deep water grid search just to the south of the pier. After looking at the area as a whole, I face timed her to get a better idea of the area, since what I was looking at was huge. During the face time, Kimberly mentioned some stairs leading down to the beach and also her kids had told her that the lifeguards had put a lifeguard stand out there about where they were. That phone call helped me reduce the area considerably. I changed my position and started at the far side working back towards the pier. After about 2 hours or so and getting hit by the incoming tide, I called it for the day. I called her and told her my plan and that I’d go back out the next day. I also told her the theory about silver rings is that they’re a lighter metal and are more apt to be moved by the waves and current. I’ve had searches for silver rings before that I couldn’t find. I know it wasn’t what she wanted to hear, but I’d rather be upfront and honest with someone.

Tuesday, I arrived back out there about an hour and a half before low tide and decided to work south of the lifeguard stand, she had mentioned and work back towards the pier. I was probably a few grid lines past the lifeguard stand and almost to a set of stairs that came down to the beach from a rental when I made my turn to head back into shore. Boom, I hit a big signal showing a 24-25 (good silver numbers) on the VDI (visual display indicator) on the Equinox 800. Dimes usually show up in that range, but this signal was stronger and louder than a dime. A couple of scoops of sand and shells and I had the target out of the hole. I rinsed the sand out in the surf and gently shook the scoop. I didn’t see anything but shells again, so I shook the scoop again. Still nothing until I looked in the corner of the scoop and peeking out behind a shell leaning upright against the edge was a little bit of silver. Shook it lightly one more time and there was Kimberly’s mother’s ring staring up at me. I took a picture of the ring and called Kimberly, who didn’t answer, so I sent the picture and text saying, “Happy Mother’s Day – again!!!” I had left the beach and headed home when Kimberly responded, “Omg!! Are you still down there? My family is still there on the beach now.” So, I turned around and called her. She gave me their names, so back on the beach; I found Mark and Robin (I think that was their names). They took possession of the ring to deliver to Kim on July 4^th. I guess on this search, the silver ring was heavy enough that it didn’t move. With everything said and done, the ring was pretty much where Kimberly said it would be. Lesson learned on my part.

Today, July 4^th, I got a picture from Kimberly showing me her ring was back where it belonged.

Kim – Thank you for calling and trusting me to help find your precious Mother’s ring.

I got a text late on July 3rd from Jen who was visiting the town of Goleta from Phoenix to visit family. They had made a trip up to Gaviota state beach and had been playing on the beach and in the water when Jen noticed her wedding ring was missing. She had been in 3 places while at the beach and she wasn’t sure which one was where it came off. One of these places was in the water as she had been playing with her kids in the shore break. She was concerned that her ring was lost for good as she and her family were leaving to go back to Phoenix in a few days and fortunately she found Dave The RingFinder after a quick search for lost ring recovery on Google.

I checked the tide table for when she lost it so I could see if the next low tide could help us out. There was a 0.0 at 7am so I told her I would head up there first thing in the morning. After leaving the house at 5:15am I arrived at just past 6:30am so I had an hour or so of search time before high tide started rolling back in. I went to the area she marked for me and began to grid perpendicular into the ocean. After about 20 minutes moving south I decided to try my luck going north and after about 10 minutes I finally got a signal that was worth digging on my Minelab Manticore. It took 3 scoops of my CKG scoop to remove it but when I sifted in the water Jen’s ring emerged from the sand! It was another shallow water ring recovery and another vacation saved by Dave The RingFinder.
