Lost Wedding Rings Found! – Lake Winneconne, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Saturday afternoon, July 20th found teacher and Fond du Lac resident Amy Pickart, enjoying a refreshing lady’s weekend away on the picturesque Lake Winneconne in Wisconsin. It was a perfect getaway, a perfect setting, perfect weather and perfect company.

A water-volleyball net invited playful competition, fun and exercise. But Amy was not aware that her wedding rings, welded together as one, quietly slipped off her hand during the activity. Later, as she climbed a ladder onto the boat dock, she was horrified to see the rings were gone. A frantic search ensued in the murky water but the rings could not be found. Amy was heartbroken.

I received a text message that evening from one of Amy’s colleagues. After getting details, I arranged to conduct a search first thing the following Monday.

Inland Wisconsin lakes have seen human occupation for well over a century. Lake Winneconne is no exception. The remains of half-century-old beer cans lay buried deep in the sand, making detection of a small ring challenging. Unbeknown to me, I found out later, other detectorists had tried to locate Amy’s rings the day before but were unsuccessful. Beer-can-sized craters on the lake bottom bore witness to their valiant and thorough attempts. I chose to expand the search area and use an approach that relies heavily on forensics.

Given the recent loss and the hard-packed sand conditions, I knew the rings would not be very deep in the sand; they would be shallow, close to the surface. Reducing my detector’s sensitivity and holding it higher up away from the lake bottom, provided the needed distance from the otherwise overwhelming beer-can signals. Additionally, I used a specially designed detection probe that helped further isolate the ring signal in an otherwise difficult detection environment.

About two hours passed when I received a signal in the volleyball area that was forensically appropriate for Amy’s rings. Sure enough, a shallow scoop brought her rings back up to the light of day!

Tim, Amy’s husband of 23 years, met me on the dock as I emerged from the water. The smile on his face says it best, “It’s more than a ring!”

Amy’s ring marked my 121st successful recovery. That’s a lot of smiles!

Onekama, Michigan lost Citadel class ring

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I got a referral from Dave Boyer, a Ringfinder, a couple days ago and contacted Evan B. about his lost Citadel class ring in Lake Michigan. I drove from Manistee to Onekema about a 20 minute drive and met Evan. He was throwing a ball to his dog out into the lake. The ball and the ring , which was very heavy, flew into the water. The dog got the ball and the lake got the ring. The waves were pretty big that day but I tried to grid an area without success so I told Evan I would be back in the morning to try again. Friday morning the waves weren’t as bad but the water turned over in the lake and was so cold I told him I would be back in the evening with my wet suit. I called a friend to come out and help me as it would cut the area to search in half.

The water was calmer and I began my search in the area where it was lost. Going out about 60′ with a grid about 20′ x 20′ no luck. After about 30 minutes the ring turned up in the scoop closer to the shore than Evan figured it went. The toss of his hand must have been in more of a downward motion.  Vacation in Onekama, Michigan and Lake Michigan you will love it visit « Pure Michigan ».

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

   

I have been requested for a string of esoteric recoveries involving planning, special equipment, and unusual conditions as of lately.  This was NOT one of them!

The most difficult part of this recovery would be the hour commute to the site.  I was requested to search for a lost platinum men’s wedding band on a sand volleyball court in Sunnyvale, CA.  This recovery was completed before the client could even complete the search contract.  Everyone was extremely surprised and happy to have located the ring so quickly!  The couple had only been married 6 months and it was the second time the ring had been lost.  I jokingly told them to keep my number on speed dial!  We made the recovery!

To the family… Thank you for trusting me with your ring recovery!

Two Gold Necklaces Lost In The Beach Sand, In Saco, Maine, Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

On Sunday Morning, July 21st, I once again, was being tagged and PM’s were being sent to me, at The Ring Finders of Maine, Facebook Page.

A local Facebook site had a post about 2 lost Gold Necklaces, one with a Diamond.
This is the Facebook post, below

“This may be a stretch, but it’s worth a try. My daughter, lost her gold necklaces at Ferty Beach today. One has a diamond, the other a rectangular charm. We were at the main entrance you may call it where there are 2 parking lots below and 1 closest to the beach entrance. We parked in the lower lot directly across from upper lot.
We were to the right on the beach when you enter. Towards the back fairly close to a landing/deck with many white chairs, I assume for Airbnb customers possibly. We left today around 2:30. They were left in the mesh cup holder of her beach chair. 😞
I suppose there could be a chance of it falling on the ground in the parking lot too. She is really bummed and we have returned home to VT now.
If someone happens to find, we would be forever grateful! Please DM me.”

At this point, I saw another PM, come in. It was from Arla, the originator of the Facebook post and it was her daughter that had lost the two gold necklaces. The PM said

“I would appreciate your help!”
My daughter, Kaitlyn, is on the right wearing the necklaces
I parked here and my daughter loaded the beach chair. It is possible it dropped out of the mesh pocket of the chair at this time. Who knows”

I immediately replied, telling Arla

“Ok, I can go now. Hopefully not to many people there yet. Also hope no one detected the area, last night”. It was determined that Arla was at Bayview beach, Saco, ME and not at Ferry Beach State Park.

I then left and headed to Bay View Beach. Once I arrived, I walked over to where Arla and Kaitlyn, had parked. I just wanted to perform a visual search, of the asphalt, from where they parked, to the beach. I didn’t see the necklaces. Once I arrived, at at beach, I started searching, as I made my way, to where their chairs had been. Nothing found. Once I arrived at their location, from yesterday, Arla and I communicated, via FaceTime, to be certain I was in the correct location. Since Arla and Kaitlyn had already returned home, to Vermont, this was the best way to verify, I was where I needed to be.

I performed a vertical grid of the area, with no luck. I decided to continue with the grid search and work my way towards, the Lifeguard Stand and beach access path. This would have been the path they took, as they left the beach. The beach was starting to fill up and a few beach goers, were now in the area. I did the best I could, to go around them, but potentially missing the necklaces, because of their blankets and chairs. After going around, one such beach set up, I suddenly received a nice loud signal, through my headphones. I looked down at my coil and I couldn’t believe it. I could actually see part of the necklace and the rectangular pendant, still partially, on top of the sand. I reached down and picked it up. When I pulled the rectangular pendant out of the sand, the other necklace, with the diamond, came out with it. I had both necklaces. The necklaces were all tangled up , with each other.

I immediately took a photo of the entangled necklaces and sent the photo, to Arla. She immediately replied

“Omg!!!!”

Arla then confirmed those are the necklaces, that belongs to Kaitlyn. The necklaces were a match, to the ones, in the photo, that Arla had sent me. We made plans to communicate, once I got home and Arla had left church.

Later in the day, I received the shipping address, so I could mail the necklaces back to her. Arla and Kaitlyn are extremely happy and grateful, to be getting the necklaces back. The necklaces are very sentimental. Arla told me

“The diamond was given to Kaitlyn, by me years ago and the charm was given to her by her best friend who got it from Spain”.

Just so thankful that I was able to help Arla and Kaitlyn , in their time of need.

West Yarmouth, MA: Lost Pinky Ring Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 17, 2024

Zack was on vacation enjoying one of the many small beaches with friends. While frolicking in thigh deep water he felt his pinky ring slip off his finger. Others on the beach offered the information about TheRingFinders and another member’s phone number and called. Unfortunately, Luke was on his way off Cape Cod for the weekend and could not help except to pass my number onto Zack. A call to me and of course I was on my way to what was to be a quick return. Well, that was not to be.

Zack told me that he was very sure of he area he lost the ring at. With the information of the area and depth in the water he was when the ring fell off, I started searching parallel to the shore line with no success. Time to search perpendicular to the shore line, gridding the area. Nothing. Maybe as Zack next suggested he might have been a bit more the the right and so I opened up the search area. Again, nothing. Zack then said “No, I am very sure I was over here…again nothing. The tide was coming in and it was getting late. I called off the search for the evening and would be back the next day.

The morning came and I and detecting partner Leighton were on our way for another search. About forty minutes into the search in the original area, I found the ring. Hey, if you miss the ring by an inch, it might just as well had been a mile. I just did not pass my search coil over the ring the day before.

Zach had gone to another beach and it was not for another couple of hours and a cup of iced tea that we met up with Zack at his vacation rental for the returning of the ring. And as usual pictures, stories and many thanks with smiles all around, Leighton and I left for another beach to do some recreational detecting with no pressure to find a specific target.

Ring recovery on Monterey Beach

  • from Monterey (California, United States)
Contact:

Was able to help recover this 14k wedding ring, on Monterey Beach, Del Monte Beach yesterday.  « Jessica » had been standing in the ebbing surf, with wet sandy hands.  She felt her ring come off , in the surf’s edge, roiling ebbing foamy water.   The sand and water immediately « swallow » the ring.  So that when the water/wave pulls out:  All they see is sand.  No ring 🙁

 

A full day’s high tide came and went before we connected.   She had the approx area to describe via text pix and map.   And with a little study of the tide charts, was able to determine a probable parallel in the wet inter-tidal zone.   After 14 other targets (pennies, pulltabs, etc….), the ring surfaced.

 

Glad to help.  Your heirloom is safe in your family  🙂   Thanx for the tip.
