White Gold Band Lost in the dry sand, Found and Returned in North Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a somewhat frantic call from Sherri saying that someone had referred me to help find her lost ring. She said that she had taken her ring off and put it in the cup holder of her beach chair to apply sun screen. When she packed up to leave, she forgot about the ring until the chair had been folded. I confirmed she was in the dry sand when it happened and she said she was. I told her I’d be there in 15 minutes, grabbed my Equinox 800 and hit the road.

When I got to the hotel she was staying out, I called her as I was walking across the board walk to the beach. I saw her at the same time I spotted another detectionist searching the area. Not good, but I understand people are more interested in having their lost item found and not who finds it. When I got to the spot, I recognized JR who is a local beach guy that detects a lot. JR said he hadn’t been able to find it and was getting ready to expand the search area. He also said he had gotten an iffy signal in the sand but nothing solid. I saw the area where he had dug with his small shovel. I asked Sherri for the details and she pointed out the small area she thought she lost her white gold ring in. White gold should ring up around 11 VDI (visual display indicator). I turned my machine on and JR asked me to check the area he had the iffy signal. Two steps and I hit a solid, loud 11, just what I expected. Got the target in the scoop and shook out the sand. BAM!! Sherri’s ring was in the scoop.  I held the ring up for Sherri and she was holding back some tears. JR asked if he could run his detector (Equinox 600) over the ring to see what he got as a signal. His machine sounded a very weak signal and he said he had walked away from it thinking it wasn’t the ring.  Nevertheless, Sherri had her very sentimental ring back.

Sherri, Thank you for trusting me in helping you find your lost treasure. My prayers are with you on your journey over the next few months, I wish you only the very best.

Jim

Lost and Found Ring in dry sand in Miami Beach

Metal Detecting Service – Louis – 305-608-1870

Josu and his wife were on Vacation this Memorial Day Weekend when she decided to take off her rings to change their baby’s diaper.  Forgetting that she placed them on the changing pad, she packed up her stuff and left.  Once they were back at their hotel they realized they lost their rings back at the beach.  By that time it was night time and would be impossible to find them.  Luckily he found me on TheRingFinders and I was able to meet him there and find both of them within a few minutes.  If you have lost some jewelry and need me to come out and find them, at the beach, in the water, or backyard, give me a call, Louis, 305-608-1870.

Heartbroken Girl’s Fear Is Replaced With Tears Of Joy After Lost Ring Is Found

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

EMERALD ISLE, NC

Katelyn was relaxing, just before sunset, on the beach with her fiancée, Brianna.  Katelyn has placed the first ring anyone has ever gave her on a bag they brought along.  She thought it was put in the bag.  After they left, they realized the ring was missing.  Katelyn sent a plea for help and discovered, through social media, Crystal Coast Ring Finder (The Ring Finders member).

I had a very good understanding of the area and knew exactly where to begin my search.  Katelyn’s very sentimental ring was the first target that sent an alert to my Minelab CTX-3030.  I made arrangements to meet Katelyn after she got off work.

Katelyn has had a rough run of luck lately with numerous hardships and relocating to North Carolina from Pennsylvania.  This ring was part of her strength.  She mentioned online « So when I lost it at the beach I lost a part of myself too. »  I was very happy to bring the ring back to her so the ring can still be part of future stories and hopefully a very happy future!

Congratulations Katelyn & Brianna!   They are considering an Autumn wedding

Lost Gold Ring w/Gemstone Found in Farmington Hills Michigan

Been There…..Dug That…..

….Of all the volleyball court finds I have made, this one was the same, I grid searched the area with my MXT metal detector, got a good signal and there the ring was just a couple inches beneath the sand. What made it interesting was that Praveen’s wife took the children to the court just to sit and play in the sand…no volleyball, and as she got up to brush off the sand, her beautiful wedding ring flew off. Naturally worried as to where it went, he was thrilled, and relief came over his face knowing that the ring had just temporarily been hiding….Yep, and I really dug that!

Lost and found gold wedding band in Brighton Ontario

Contact:

Received a text from Richard today about him having lost his gold wedding band in their backyard while doing some spring cleaning. The good news is that he saw the ring flying off his finger as he was moving a log. The bad news was that he mowed the tall grass in hope of better seeing the ring. Everything turn out fine as the ring was found in less than a minute. Another happy camper. Life is good.

First Repeat Customer

  • from Grand Haven (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Chase and his friend Kevin were a couple of my first Ring Finder customers back in 2015 when they both lost their wedding rings on the same day, in the same location!   Sunday morning, Chase texts me saying, “I did it again.”  This time on a private beach on Lake Michigan near South Haven.  Searching The Ring Finders site, he saw I was still listed.  Instead of contacting the Ring Finder for the South Haven area (sorry Dave 😊) Chase contacted me again.  He had put sunscreen on and stepped into the ice cold water to rinse off his hands and thought that was probably when he’d lost it but didn’t actually feel it come off so it could also be on the beach somewhere.  Hoping I didn’t have to step into the ice cold Lake MI water, I did a quick search on shore where he thought he and the family were the day before.  No such luck.  I scanned the shoreline 5’ or so into the water for about 5 minutes; that was about all I could handle, the water was PAINFULLY cold.  No ring.  I searched the beach some more while my feet thawed in the warm sand and tried again a few feet further out in the water.  Still no ring.  I was pretty sure at that point it wasn’t in the water so I searched at little further north of where I’d started, hoping I didn’t have to step back into the ice cold Lake MI water.  Bingo!  Another happy face for my Book of Smiles 😃

Ring lost at Mission Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Uriel was playing in an impromptu volleyball game when his ring flew off while hitting the ball. He thought it landed somewhere close by, but, after looking and searching, it didn’t show up. An online search brought Uriel and his friend to TheRingFinders.com site. His friend called me, and Uriel called Curtis Cox further north. Since I was a lot closer, I got the nod. As usual, the traffic on a Memorial weekend Saturday was a nightmare. I’m glad my wife came with me to circle around with the car as I went out to meet Uriel and search for his ring. I searched the inside boundaries of the court with only one target……a full Busch beer can! They can celebrate with that later! With nothing else in the small court, I started just outside of it. Got a nice hit on the first pass, and it was his ring. Total search time was only a few minutes. Drive time to the beach and back home was over 2 hours for just a 26 mile round trip! A pleasure to meet you Uriel, and thank you for the reward.

Hudsonville, Michigan ring recovered

Ring Found in Hudsonville, MI
Received a text from Bonnie stating she lost her wedding ring in the backyard yesterday. I set up an appointment with Bonnie. Dave Boyer and I met her after she got home from work. She showed us the area where she had been pulling weeds out of a tall grassy area and there were small piles of dirt where the weeds had been pulled out. She retired to the house as we went and grabbed our equipment. In searching the first small pile of dirt, BINGO, there was her ring, 30 seconds at most. Knocking on the door she was surprised at the quick recovery. The dog was not happy with these two strange guys and it took a while to warm up to us. In the end we put a big smile on Bonnie and even the pup. One of our signature moves when coming to a house with a dog, is to take time to meet the dog and get some good licks and petting first.

Hunting knife found in the Wilds of Southwestern Michigan

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)

Adventure in the Woods:
Robert was deer hunting and while hauling his deer out of the woods he lost 2 knives, a pocket knife and hunting knife. He used a four wheeler to haul the deer out and followed a trail thru the woods. Dave Boyer and myself searched both sides of the trail with our metal detectors and I found the pocket knife and an old log chain on the trail. The deer that Robert shot ran out into this marsh where it finally dropped. After searching the trail we figured we better search the route he took when he dragged the deer out of marsh and back to the trail. Arriving at the spot where the deer dropped in the high marsh grass, Robert spotted his hunting knife laying on the ground, no metal detector needed for that. The knife had been in his side pocket on his leg and bending down to check the deer, it had slipped out of his pocket. Another successful hunt. Our timing was perfect because on the way home it started to snow and the knife would have been covered up and harder to find.
