It was a beautiful day on the beach in Newport Beach, California, when James and his friends decided to spend the afternoon playing football near the shoreline. In the middle of the game, James suddenly realized the necklace he had worn for years had broken during one of the plays. Somewhere in the sand, the small gold pendant attached to it had disappeared.

At first, he hoped it would be an easy find. But after searching the area over and over with no luck, the reality began to sink in. The pendant had been a gift from a family member many years earlier, and it meant far more to him than its gold value. James was devastated at the thought of losing something so personal forever.

That’s when he called me for help.

I arrived at the beach with my metal detector and started searching the area where they had been playing. About 20 minutes later, my detector gave off a solid signal beneath the sand. After a few careful scoops, I saw a small flash of gold appear in the scoop — James’ pendant.

The moment I handed it back to him was priceless. The stress and disappointment on his face instantly turned into relief and gratitude. He truly thought he would never see it again.

Experiences like this are exactly why I love what I do. It’s not just about recovering lost jewelry — it’s about helping people recover something meaningful, something connected to memories, family, and moments they never want to lose.

Gold Diamond Pendant recovered Eagan Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Dean called me yesterday and asked if I would be able to locate a small pendant that fell off a gold chain necklace. These searches can be tough as metal detectors need a certain amount of metal to actually give a signal. I find that the metal in the size of a diamond stud earing will not give off a signal. We do have other methods though, as I told Dean. If people can narrow the search area down to approximately a 10′ X 10′ area, we can use a « pinpointer » which will detect a very small amount of metal. Dean’s wife was sitting on the deck reading when her necklace somehow broke and fell to the deck. She was looking at the gold necklace, though the gold/diamond pendant must have fallen through the slots in the deck boards. They were able to pin point the area under the deck which was a great help. I had about a 3 foot clearance above me, so I had to crawl in and search on my hands and knees. After removing countless staples, nails, screws, grommets etc. I found the pendant. Glad I could help out!!!

Take Care,

Mens Gold Ring Found and Returned, Huntley Il.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

Recently I received a text message from Maddie (5-17-26). She told me that her brother-in-law was over that day and they believed he lost his gold wedding ring in thier backyard while playing catch with a baseball and baseball mits. They believed that the ring must have slipped off of his finger while taking the baseball mit off at some point. The entire family looked for it for hours, with no luck. That’s when Maddie asked Gemini AI if there was a metal detecting service near by, and AI lead her to TheRingFinders.com! I was able to be there within a couple of hours. Once I arrived Maddie lead me to the backyard where they had been playing baseball. She showed me where he had been standing most of the time. So I started a grid search in that part of the yard, working from one property line back to the the other. On the second pass I got a solid, double tapping signal and as I looked down I could just barely make out the out the outline of a white gold ring deep in the grass!!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!

Engagement Ring Lost In Scarborough, Maine Backyard Grass, Found With A Metal Detector

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

On Saturday evening, May 23rd, I received the following text message.

“Hi Dennis! I was directed to you on facebook as I had posted about losing my engagement ring in my backyard today. I tried a metal detector to see if I could find it but no luck! I was wondering if you might be able to help. I’m in the Town of Scarborough, Maine.”

I replied by calling the number back, rather than keep texting. It moves things along much faster and it now being after 6:00pm, I would like to search while there was still some light. Isabelle told me that eariler in the afternoon,she had some family and friends over and were enjoying the day, out in the ”small” backyard. Isabelle has a young daughter and the daughter was having a blast, running all over the place. Isabelle would chase her down and bring her back where everyone else was. The 2-3 year old also played on the swing set ans was having the time of her life. As the afternoon passed Isabelle noticed her engagement ring was missing. She knew she had it on earlier because she had showed it to some of the family and friends. Isabelle figured the engagement ring came off, while rounding up her daughter. Isabelle posted a Facebook story and someoe let her borrow their metal detector. Isabelle and her father searched for the engagement ring, without any success. They had never used a metal detector before and all the beeps and chirps were overwhelming for them. That’s when some people on Facebook had told her to contact me. Isabelle asked if I could come over in the morning, Sunday, but I was already booked in Sanford, for 7:00am. It was scheduled to rain later Sunday and I was also leaving at 4:00pm, to attend a concert, in Boston. When Isabelle had given me her address, I knew it was only 7-8 miles from my house. I told her I would be right there and search tonight, as I had maybe an hour and a half hours of daylight left. So I packed up my equiptment and headed to Scarborough.

Once I arrived, Isabelle and her father showed me the backyard. It was small and I was estimating I could cover the entire area, in approximately 30 minutes. There was quite a bit of metal, in the yard, that had to be moved but not to bad. I am a creature of habit and I always like to pefor a grid search and this search would start at the house and I would work my way down towards the swing set, moving metal items as I went along. The search was procedeing nicely but the engagement ring remained elusive as I approached the halfway point, in the yard. Still plenty of real estate to check. As I was approaching the swing set, at the end of the yard, before a slight drop off in the yard, I still hadn’t found the ring. Before I went down the slope, Isabelle’s father asked her if she had gone down there. She replied she had, on multiple occasions, while trying to corral her young daughter. Ok, I started behing the swing set and started searching the dropoff. As I approached the garage I realized I was running out of room to search. Maybe another 5 minutes and I would have covered the entire yard. Then what? As I ws thinking about my next move and what questions, I could ask Isabelle, I received the signal I had been hoping for. A loud, repeatable low tone, coming from the grass. As I was pulling my pinpointer out, I saw the ring, in the grass. I bent down picked it up, I heard her father say, “No Way.” I then looked at Isabelle, showed her the ring, saying “Is that it?” A very happy smiling Isabelle replied, ”Yeah, That’s it, Thank you.”. Always, always a fantastic feeling to show the owner their ring, that had been lost. Isaabelle immediately put the engagement ring on her finger, admiring the ring, once again.

Another ring back on the finger and I’ll say it again, “We have the best job in the world. I love my job. If it matters to you, it matters to us💍😀❤️🙏

Claddaugh ring lost, recovered and returned in Boulder, Co

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Olive lost her gold claddagh ring. She walked up to her friends house, as she approached the door she waved excitedly and felt the ring fly off. I should have taken a pic of the whole front yard but as you can see how thick the greenery and ivy were. She rented a metal detector but did not know how to use it. This is a common thing so if you don’t know how to use one ask someone that does. It will save you so much time and money. After about 45 minutes of not being able to find it myself with the detector I started shaking the ivy growing on the house. I tried looking down to see if it may have fallen. I was about 1/3 of the way when I looked down directly from the mailbox and saw a SMALL hint of gold. I thought it was foil it was so small but it was the ring. Tiny fingers. Tiny ring. The story of the claddagh ring is beautiful.

Rose gold wedding ring recovered in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:


This gentleman lost his beautiful rose gold wedding band while walking to his car at night. He felt it fall off but did not see where it went and with all the snow it had made it difficult. After a couple of hours searching he found me on Ring Finders. It was late but reassured him we’d be there in the morning before all the busy traffic started in that area. He explained what had happened, walking on a sidewalk in a busy area full of restaurants. We got so lucky that there was an open space in the street parking area close to where he lost it. I quickly had him stand in that area assuring no car would park there while I searched. I quickly found his ring up along the curb embedded in snow. Looks like cars were pushing it and compacting the snow against the curb. Happy tears as he was just recently married. This is what I enjoy about metal detecting.

LOST RING FOUND SCUBA – WHITEWATER LAKE, WHITEWATER, WI

  • from Carmel (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Whitewater, Wisconsin, resident Robert was launching his kayak on Lake Whitewater when he slipped on the precarious seawall boulders and fell into the lake. Shortly after, he checked his hand, and his heart sank as he noticed his wedding ring was missing.

Each successive summer, he and the kids would dive down and visually scan the area with goggles and flashlights in hand, hoping to catch a glimpse of the missing ring. Three years later, I received a call from a different Lake Whitewater resident, Brian, who had contracted me to find a lost watch off his dock. He mentioned that a neighbor of his, Robert, had lost a wedding ring three years earlier and put me in contact with him.

After concluding the search for Brian’s watch, I walked two houses down to Robert’s property. I waded out into the chilly lake and began searching just off the shoreline. The bottom of the lake was rocky with a dense clay layer, which proved difficult to dig through while retrieving signals. After clearing all the promising signals from the area, I figured the ring may have ventured into the seawall from strong waves over the years. I donned my scuba equipment and blindly inspected each crevasse between the boulders. Deep underneath one boulder, I received a strong hit from my handheld metal detecting probe, and Robert’s ring surfaced.

Both Robert and his wife were ecstatic to have the wedding ring back on his finger and to finally bring their summer search expeditions to an end. If you or someone you know has lost a ring on land, in water, or in an area requiring scuba, give me a call. I love reuniting people with what was once thought to be lost forever.

Lost wedding ring lost on a large building lot found!

  • from Oregon City (Oregon, United States)
Contact:

Last evening I received a message from Deney saying he and his wife had been looking at a homesite property in the Oregon City area. While walking around the property, his wife lost her wedding ring. He was hoping I might be able to help him out.

We had a phone conversation a short time later, and he explained the situation. He said they had been walking around this 4 acre property, considered if they should buy it and have a home built there. While walking around, his wife had removed her two rings and put them in her pocket. When they got back to their ride, there was only one ring in her pocket. Confidence was high the ring was somewhere on the lot.
He had gone out and mowed the tall grass on the lot. Taken other people out to search, and tried using a HF metal detector, but hadn’t found the ring. The hail Mary was an internet search, locating me on Ringfinders.

Being not far from home, I was able to head out the next morning. I arrived slightly after 10am and met Deney and his wife, Stormie.
I interrogated them further, and learned the ring had been lost about three weeks earlier, but didn’t receive any insights to narrow down the search. Stormie had to leave shortly after I arrived. Deney had his borrowed detector, so I dropped a gold ring and had him scan it. His basic detector had a needle and speaker, which was very erratic, even on a prefect target.
I always bring a backup machine, so I gave him a quick tutorial,  and he set about searching.
I began a systematic grid search, beginning a distance outside of the area of the suspected loss. The area was relatively clean of metal debris, so the search moved at a decent pace.
About a hour into the search of the unshaded area, Deney decided to take a break in the shade, after giving me a bottle of water.

A short time later, I hit a very strong signal on the Manticore. Good tone, and shallow. Moving the grass, I couldn’t see anything.  Using my pin-pointer, I found what I was looking for.

Took a quick photo,  collected the ring, and went to check-in with Deney.
He was so happy to see the missing ring, I got a huge‘Bro-hug’

Having experience, good equipment, and patience makes all the difference.

Always grateful to help reunite folks with their lost memories.

Man’s Tungsten Wedding Band Lost in the Soft Sand – Found and Returned Ocean Isle Beach NC

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

On May 26, 2026, just before 6 pm, I received a call from Olivia about a lost ring. She said her husband Tyler had put his Tungsten wedding ring in a bag along with some towels and kid toys. Throughout the course of the day, things were removed and replaced in the bag. They suspected that at some point his ring had been accidently pulled out of the bag and fallen in the soft sand. She also said they had been sitting in the upper part of the beach and left the beach around 4 pm. This would have been right at high tide. To complicate matters, we’re in the King tide cycle, meaning excessive high and low tides. Olivia also stated that the high tide had come in and covered the upper beach, including the rental house stairs to the beach. I told her the best thing would be for me to come out around 11 pm to ensure the tide had gone back out. She agreed and we hung up. Around 7 pm, Olivia called me back concerned that I might have too late of a night. So, I asked her how about 9 pm and she agreed.

I showed up at 9 at the address she had given me. Tyler and Olivia’s uncle met me in the driveway. We walked about a block down to the beach access and out on the beach. We walked about another 30 yards east and they showed me the suspected area. Tyler confirmed his ring was silver Tungsten. I turned my Equinox 800 on, took a step and hit a solid 20 on the VDI (visual display indicator), definitely in the Tungsten ring range. I took a shallow scoop of sand, dumped it on the beach and took my foot and spread it out. With my headlamp on, I could see the outside of sand around a round object. I reached down and pulled Tyler’s ring out, turned around and handed it to him. He and Olivia’s uncle were both caugt off guard and completely surprised. We walked back to their house, enjoyed some conversation with Olivia and then I was on my way.

Olivia and Tyler, thank you for calling and trusting me to help find Tyler’s treasure. Best to both of you!

Jim
