Ring Found in Ashland, WI

  • from Washburn (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Saturday was a perfect day for two good friends to float on the lake enjoying the sunshine and each other’s company. As she was sliding off of her floating tube near the dock, Sharon could feel her precious, one-of-a-kind wedding ring set slip off of her finger into the water. She was devastated. Luckily, her friend spotted the larger ring on the lake bottom and quickly snapped it up.

Unfortunately, the smaller diamond encrusted band was no where to be found. Sharon desperately Googled “How to find a lost ring in the water” and an article that mentioned “theringfinders” came up. Miraculously, she thought, there was actually a ringfinder in her area!

Since I was away at a family event, Sharon was able to talk to my detecting partner, Jane. Jane went to the site but was unable to locate the ring in the waves. The next day, Jane and I returned. It took us 45 minutes using a grid search of the area to recover the ring. Sharon was ecstatic!

This Necklace Recovery Made My Month!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a call around 7:30p last night from a woman who asked for my help in recovering a piece of jewelry. A high school football player had lost a necklace on the field during practice and despite friends and family members searching (including one with a metal detector), they had been unable to find the necklace. I grabbed my detector and headed over to the school to help search. After an hour and a half, I had only covered about half of the football field, but called it a night and returned this morning to continue. After about 45 min of continuing my search in the field, I located the necklace. It was 10 or 12 feet outside the playing field, but was nestled down in the grass and almost impossible to see from above. Up to this point, it’s a fairly normal search and recover story. It turns out that the young man who lost the necklace had a twin brother who tragically passed away 2 1/2 years ago. The necklace had the initials of the brother who had passed and angel wings as part of the design – a beautiful tribute. As you might imagine, the necklace holds tremendous sentimental value for the family.

As I recovered the necklace just before the start of the school day, the Head of School called the young man and asked him to come by when he arrived at school. (Not the kind of request a student ever wants to get from the principal!) When he arrived, the Head of School and I met him in the parking lot and I was able to return the necklace. It was an emotional moment and I was glad to be a small part of it.

I’m always happy to reunite folks with the items they’ve lost, but some recoveries really stand out…like this one.

Necklace lost at Mission Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Aaron was body surfing when a wave blew over his head and ruthlessly stripped him of his gold necklace. Aaron realized it immediately and tried to recover it, but, at the same time, the lifeguards were telling everyone to leave the water due to a large rip current. Reluctantly, Aaron left the water and contemplated what to do to get it back. An online search brought him to TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. When he called, I got the situation and made a plan to conduct a search early the next morning to take advantage of the -1.1 low tide. My buddy Cris and I met Aaron at the site at 3:45am and divided up the search area after Aaron got us a starting point. I started gridding east/west working my way south. while Cris did a north/south grid. After some time passed without much in the way of targets, I went back to my starting point and started going north. After a few passes and at the west end of one pass in as deep a surf as I dared, I got a nice solid 12 on my Equinox 900. Two scoops later and I had the target. I grabbed the lump still buried in the sand of my scoop and headed out of the surf to see what it was. It felt good, but, without my headlamp turned on at the time, I wanted to get out of the water and take a look before I let go of it. I walked out toward Cris who had his headlamp on and revealed what I had found. Sure enough, it was a gold looking chain. A quick flush in the water to remove the sand and we had Aaron’s beautiful gold necklace in hand. Needless to say, Aaron was a very happy man and thanked us profusely. A pleasure to meet you Aaron and thank you for the generous reward.

Lost Ring Found in Westerly RI

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from John asking for my help.  He had lost his wedding band while swimming in the ocean in Westerly, RI. He and his wife live in NJ and were on vacation at a beach house with family. John told me that the day before there were big waves, and he felt his ring fall off in the water.  The tide was coming in, but I was willing to give it a shot.  After searching for a couple hours without any luck, I decided to return the next day at low tide.  The following day, I searched in the water and still didn’t have any luck finding the ring. I decided to search the beach and found John’s ring buried in the sand.  He couldn’t believe that I found his ring and was so happy to have it back.

Wedding AND Engagement Rings Lost & Found On Swanage Beach

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Hayley & her family from Wiltshire were enjoying a break in Swanage. With the rings placed securely through the necklace she was wearing, nothing could go wrong?! Whilst in the water the chain got yanked and broke – she managed to save the chain but the rings disappeared into a few feet of water.

I searched up and down for a good hour until the unmistakable sound of gold sang through my headphones. Just a yard away, another!

She was overjoyed to have them both back & made the long drive down to Swanage the very next day to collect the rings. Hayley made a kind donation to the Margaret Green Animal Rescue Charity.
