LOST ENGAGEMENT RING IN ANGIER, NC….FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a text today from a gentleman saying his wife lost her engagement ring in the back yard and if I could help. I replied, “of course I can help, just send me the address and I’ll be on my way.

Got the address and headed out! When I arrived he showed me the area she thought it was lost and it turned out to be about 10 feet to the right of that area. It only took me about 10 mins to find it!

Another return and another happy customer!

Platinum and Diamond Wedding Ring Lost In The Goose Rocks Beach Sand, Found In Kennebunkport, Maine With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

✨ « That Was Like Magic! » ✨ How a Family’s Beach Day Was Saved by a Low Tone & a Helping Hand 🏖️❤️

As Cheryl and I were driving home from a successful ring recovery and return in York, Maine, my phone rang. 📞

The caller identified herself as Molly. She had just lost her platinum wedding ring with diamonds! 💎💍

Molly was at Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport, Maine. She had taken her ring off and placed it in her lap while applying lotion to her children and herself. 🧴🏖️

She forgot about the ring, stood up, and walked away toward the water. As she was walking, she suddenly remembered it! 🌊😮

Molly rushed back to her chair and began searching the sand, but the ring was gone. Her children and husband also searched, but came up empty. 🔍

Realizing they might be burying the ring deeper into the sand, they wisely stopped searching to prevent making it harder to find. It was then that I was called! 📱🚨

Cheryl and I were at a red light in Biddeford, Maine, when Molly phoned. 🚦 I was literally at the intersection of Route 1 and the road that heads straight to Goose Rocks Beach! 🚘

I was closer to the beach right then than if I had gone home and had to drive back. So, I took a sharp right at the intersection and told Molly I would be there in less than 15 minutes! ⏱️💨

Cheryl and I arrived in short order and were promptly met by Molly. She brought us down to where her family had set up on this 250th anniversary of our country’s independence. 🇺🇸🎆

When we arrived, Molly showed me where she had been sitting and where the family had been searching for her wedding ring in the sand. 🏖️🧱

After firing the metal detector up, I did a quick scan of the area… nothing. ❌

I moved inside the tent a little, and one of the children moved a chair out of the way, but the search still yielded nothing. Molly then showed me the path she had taken toward the water to the right of the canopy. ⛺

After 5 minutes, there was still no wedding ring. It was now time to start moving some of the beach bags under the canopy. 👜🎒

I asked Molly my usual rounds of questions:
💬 « Was it left back at the house? »
💬 « Have you checked the beach bags? »

Once I started back up, I searched the exact spot where a teal-colored beach bag had been sitting… 🎒🕵️‍♂️

BANG!!! 💥
A nice, loud, low tone rang out, reading 17-18-19 on the Target Identification (TID) screen! This TID was the absolute perfect number for a woman’s platinum wedding ring. 📈💍

I asked one of Molly’s children if she would like to use the pinpointer to locate the target. She happily agreed, and after a quick tutorial, she found the spot! 🎯🧒

As she dug in the sand with her hand, the ring wasn’t appearing. She dug deeper, and still nothing! 😮

I said, « It can’t be that deep, » and moved in to dig deeper with my hand when Molly’s husband noted, « We did move some sand around. » ⏳🧱

As I dug further, I felt it… and started pulling it out of the sand! 🖐️💎

Molly’s daughter excitedly cried out:
📣 « Mommy’s wedding ring! »

Her husband exclaimed:
📣 « That was down there deep! »

And her daughter added:
📣 « That was like magic! » ✨🧙‍♂️

Molly let out a massive, joyful laugh! 😂❤️

She could finally relax with her beautiful wedding ring back safely on her finger. The stress and tension instantly lifted, replaced by smiles and laughter all around! 🥰💫

With the sun shining brightly, the family could get back to enjoying their beautiful beach day in Kennebunkport. ☀️🌊

This is why we do it. We love our jobs—it’s truly the best job in the world! 🌍❤️

Cheryl and I were just beaming after recovering our second wedding ring in the span of just two hours! To top it off, Gary had also recovered a wedding ring earlier in the morning. 🥳🙌

Three wedding rings recovered in one day—a true « triple crown » or a « three-peat » in the ring-finding business! 🏆🏆🏆

As we walked off the beach, we couldn’t help but think about what a legendary day it had already been.

It was only 2:25 PM, and little did we know… our day wasn’t done just yet! 😉🌅

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered from Pond—Waldo, Wisconsin

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)

Florida resident, Alex Furlong, was enjoying a swim in a privately-owned pond in Waldo, Wisconsin, when his wedding ring was lost. Married only two and half weeks, Alex and his bride, Anna Rose, had taken care to remove their wedding rings from their hands before entering the water. They set their love tokens on the end of a paddleboard resting on the shore.

While returning to the beach, Alex noticed a monstrous blackfly sitting in the middle of the board. To save Anna Rose from being bitten, he lunged at the fly wth the paddle in hand, but the impact sent the rings catapulting up into the air! Amazingly, Anna’s rings landed back on the paddleboard, but Alex’s 14k band bounded down the board and dissappeared into the murky pond. Despite their best search efforts, the devastated couple could not locate it.

The Furlong’s found me on the Ring Finder’s online directory of metal-detecting specialists. I received a phone call from Alex later that same afternoon. I was searching for another ring at the time and so arranged to meet Alex on location at 5:00 a.m. the next morning. The Waldo pond was near Sheboygan, just over an hour’s drive from my home in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Upon arrival, Alex led the way in the early-morning haze to the spot where the ring had disappeared. A buoy in the water marked the location.

Using my XP Deus 2 underwater detector and an Extreme titanium water scoop, I began sweeping the bottom of the pond. Not far from shore, I heard a clear signal in my headset; it emanated from a metallic target deep in the mud. The conductivity numbers were consistent with a yellow-gold ring. I extracted a large scoop of mud and sand from the area and checked it again with my detector. The target area was now quiet. This meant the metal object now had to be in my scoop. After shaking the scoop’s contents out in the water, a small handful of pebbles remained. Another shake revealed the glimmer of gold —a man’s wedding ring!

Carefully extracting the ring, I confirmed it indeed belonged to Alex! Alex told me earlier, two ancient Greek words were inscribed inside the band, ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους. I recognized these words of Jesus from my biblical-Greek studies. Translated into English, they read, “love one another.”

The early-morning sunlight made the smile on Alex’s face all the more radiant, a smile that tells the rest of the story!

Alex, may the story of your ring continue for many, many years to come as you and Anna Rose faithfully “love one another.”

If you or someone you know has a lost a ring, recent or long ago, on land or in the water, give me a call. I would be honored to add your smile to the growing list of people who, like the Furlongs, are so glad they did.

Lost gold & amethyst ring, FOUND! By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Jordan. Jordan explained that she was enjoying a day at the beach with her family. Jordan decided to wade into the water but took off her rings and was in the process of handing them to her dad when they slipped from his grip and fell into the water. The rings immediately disappeared. Jordan and both of her parents began frantically searching but repeatedly came up empty-handed. That’s when a neighboring beachgoer handed Jordan one of my cards. I took the short ride over from home and met up with the family on the beach less than 15 minutes later after gathering the backstory I found Jordan‘s mother standing in the water, right where the rings dropped. I proceeded into the water and on the first swing, got a low growl tone. After a couple scoops of sand, I had Jordan‘s ring back in my scoop.  Jordan‘s mother explained that this Ring was passed down to Jordan through the family over the years, so even though it was small in size, it had a tremendous amount of sentimental value attached to it. Another happy family another successful recovery!

Lost ring in Fremont California

  • from Santa Cruz (California, United States)

A couple of weeks ago Stephen contacted me about his wife’s lost ring.  He said that it was most likely in their back yard, with very specific spots where it could be.  However he mentioned that the only other place it could be was inside their house.  So we agreed that I would search the yard at least to hopefully find the lost ring, or at least eliminate the possibility if we were unsuccessful.

I arrived at Stephen’s house the next day and he outlined the most likely locations of where his wife’s ring was lost.  I got started and after spending about 30 minutes in those locations we decided to expand the search to some less likely spots where his wife remembered being the night she lost her ring.  But further expanding the search area proved fruitless as well.

After checking a couple of very unlikely but possible spots and also double checking the entire perimeter that I had searched, Stephen, his wife, and I discussed the situation again and decided to have them search the inside of their house again.  In talking about their prior search of the house his wife described a rattling sound in the couch when they were searching around in the cushions.  So I said, « You better search that couch again! »  I told them I would be glad to come back if they had any other ideas or wanted more help searching inside their house as well, but that I had a strong suspicion that the ring was in the couch.

Sure enough, 15 minutes later, Stephen texted me that they had found the ring in the couch!  I’m glad the process of elimination resulted in honing down their search area to the next most likely location which turned out to be the exact location that it was lost.

Found 22k Yellow Sapphire Ring on Davenport Beach

  • from Santa Cruz (California, United States)

A couple of evenings ago fellow ring finder and metal detector expert Tom Tanner contacted me asking if I could get to a lost ring on a beach in Davenport, California.  Davenport is about 25 minutes away from my house, and the gentleman who lost the ring was able to find Tom through the ring finders network for assistance.  Indu had lost his ring a week earlier and I knew there would be a strong chance that through several tide cycles the ring had moved, had possibly been driven deep into the sand, or had even been found already.

After several emails during a busy day at work I agreed to meet the unfortunate gentleman Indu.  We agreed to meet at the beach at 8:00 am this morning.  As soon as Indu arrived he saw where he was standing when he lost his ring and how much the landscape had changed since he lost it, but we resolved to maintain hope and start the search.

Given that he had almost an exact location of where he lost the ring I decided to take this as « ground zero » and start a spiral pattern around this point, with Indu suggesting possible motion of where the ring could have travelled given the wave action on the day that he was there.  After about an hour and extensively searching in the most likely area around the ring, I told Indu that I was not very hopeful that we could find his ring and that if he had any other suggestions I was up for trying them.  He suggested one or two other spots and then as I was informing him that I thought our chances were very slim I also added that I would search in the nooks of the rocks that were located laterally along the beach from where he lost his ring.  I got about 50′ away from ground zero and got a great signal which, after just simply moving a bit of sand off, turned out to be Indu’s ring… a beautiful 22k gold ring with yellow sapphire.

As I told Indu that I had some good news for him we were both stunned and thrilled that we were able to find it in a surprisingly distant location from where he lost it.  Mother nature has a way of rapidly moving things on the beach and this hunt was a great example.

 

Lost ring on Forest Lake golf course recovered!

  • from Coon Rapids (Minnesota, United States)

Sentimental value cannot be measured. This unfortunate incident was filled with meaning: Ron had been golfing when he put on his father’s ring — a ring given to him by his mother a few years earlier. His father died young and the ring had been tucked away and nearly forgotten until his mother found it and offered it to Ron. He accepted immediately and asked his wife to have their wedding date, along with his parents’ wedding date, engraved inside.

While on the course he slipped the ring into his pocket, later reached for money, and didn’t notice his pocket had turned inside out. Realizing it was missing, Ron retraced his steps, rented a metal detector, and searched the area but found nothing. He called me, and we went to the most likely spot and searched until the ring was recovered.

I feel privileged to have been part of this deeply sentimental recovery. Ron, you are a kind soul — your gratitude meant everything. Thank you for choosing me to find your ring.

Wedding Ring Found At Oval Beach, Saugatuck, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
On the way home from another ring hunt I decided to try a second time to find this ring. 4 days prior to this I had searched for about 1 1/2 hours for this ring. Justin had been swimming about 10ft from the buoy in the picture and he said the red dot is where he thinks the ring was lost. I had searched about 25ft all around that buoy with no success.
Today I searched the area again and also closer to shore with no success. I had given up hope and wondered if another person had found the ring. I headed off to the left of the buoy to see what I could find and about 60ft left of the buoy I FOUND HIS RING. Justin has no idea how it got over there. I stopped at his house and presented him the prize. Married for only 9 months and I think he is out of the doghouse now.

Wedding Ring Found At North Beach, South Haven, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Received a text from Noe that he lost his wedding ring while standing in waist deep water yesterday afternoon. Too late to go then but I told him I would be there at 6:30AM the next day.
Noe and his wife Eve met me at the beach and showed me an area about 20ft wide where his ring should be. They were right on as I found the ring in my first pass thru that area. They are natives of Arizona but now living in the West Michigan area. They have been married for 4 years and now he has that special ring back on his finger. It was a little smoky from the Canadian fires but we managed to see thru the haze.
