Family Crest Ring Returned at Osterville, MA Beach

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

August 11, 2026

After such a great recovery earlier in the day I had to go for another. A family crest ring of great sentimental value was next on my request for help list. In the initial request for help John told me “I lost the ring in the water on the rocks”. I dreaded walking on the rocks, but knew it would be worth any pain I might suffer from walking on them as long as I found the ring. The sand is so much easier to on the feet and the tide was on its way in. That being the nature of a beach, I started searching over the rocks that were out of the water, working onto the rocks already covered by the incoming tide.

The search area was some 25 yards wide and my feet could not take the rocky area any longer. I moved to where the edge of the rock met the sandy bottom, my feet were very happy with my decision.

I was also thrilled with my move as the first target I had in the sandier area was the ring I had been searching for. I called John, but I had no answer, so I left a message. John returned the call, requested a photo to make sure it was his, and we set up a return time for the next morning.

At his request I did not take a smiling photo of the return, but I ensure you it was larger than the beach the ring had been lost in.

Rings Found in Cotuit, MA and Returned by Richard Browne

Laura and her friend were enjoying a cooling dip at a quaint community beach when her ring set of 46 years slipped from her finger. Leigh, Laura’s friend, knew Google could help. And that is what it did by offering up TheRingFinders.com as a place one may find help in locating lost metallic objects. My name, profile and phone number came out of the search.

Leigh called and we talked for a few minutes. My first bit of advice, to help me locate the rings was to drop a few coins in the area the loss occurred. This would give me a better chance of finding the rings as it would be an indicator of where the ring slipped from Laura’s finger. I would be looking for more than the two rings, I would be looking for several targets. Finding one would indicate to me that I was to the right area and to slow my searching speed.

Within minutes I was retrieving the coins, about ten of them, but no ring and no more signals. I increased the search area by about 5 feet and found the wedding band. Minutes ticked away, but no diamond ring, I had to increase the area of search again. Still not finding a target of any kind I moved out of my comfort zone to search at the deepest area I could. There was a steep drop off and I had to rely on my scoop to stop me from slipping down to a point I could not touch the bottom. Bingo another target but it was out of my reach to dig in the normal manner, I had to hold the scoop out as far as I could, I let it fall to the bottom, open end down. A slight twist and I pulled the scoop up the slope. The target was now within my reach where I could get it into the scoop, and I did.

What a relief to see the sparking diamonds and the glitter of gold in the scoop. I knew had the ring been resting just a few inches further down the slope I would not have been able to retrieve the target. Also working against me is the tide was about to turn and start coming in. Had that happened I would have had to call in Luke, another RingFinder, to help as he is a certified diver and would be able to retrieve the target which I was pretty confident was the engagement ring.

On my way out, I chatted with a couple that had been watching my method of detecting. Somehow I became so focused to tell Laura of the find that I headed to my car and cell phone to call her. I had not seen that she and Leigh were sitting on the beach, watching me all the time. A bit embarrassing to say the least.

Many hugs from both Laura and Leigh then a few pictures and I was elevate to “my angel” by Laura. I would not have wanted the outcome to be any different. Now that the tide was coming in, I still had a bit of time to go and search for another lost ring. It was a family crest ring and I was on my way.

  • from Marco Island (Florida, United States)
Contact:

While bathing in the sun and taking an occasional dip in the water Hailey noticed that her white gold ring was nowhere to be found. A search of the shore and sand yielded no results. An Google search that evening found naplesringfinder.com. The rest is history! “It’s only lost until you call!” Hailey texted and help was on its way. The ring is back on her finger. Thanks be to God! Prayers answered.

Ten Bears FOUND in the Grass at Lincoln Park in Corona, CA!

  • from Corona (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a frantic message a little after 10pm last night from Jeff. Unfortunately, I didn’t see it until this morning. Jeff said he lost his silver Indian Head ring, called “Ten Bears” in Lincoln Park the day before. He walked the area 3 times with no luck, and could I help.

I met up with Jeff in the park and he told me he had been walking the dog there. As dogs do, the dog wanted to go one way and Jeff wanted to go the other way, several times. At some point the ring slipped off his finger while trying to control the dog’s leash. What made this urgent was that he told me the ring was his dad’s. His dad passed away in 1986 and the ring was inherited by him.

This is a popular exercise park with a jogging/walking trail and exercise stations as well as a kid’s playground and gazebo picnic area. Since it’s been about a day and a half since it was lost, I was concerned someone may have already found it. After pointing out the approximate route he and the dog took, with an emphasis on a particular area, I started my grid search there. The grass had been cut in the morning and Jeff lost it that evening.

After about three passes with my metal detector, I literally saw it laying in the grass before my coil swing could reach that spot. I picked it up and, like I do when I know it’s the item, asked him, “Does it look like this”? Jeff got emotional, and rightfully so. After all, it was a piece of his dad’s memory. He gave me a big hug and thanked me over and over. These are the ones that are emotional for me when it’s something passed down from a parent or grandparent.

Call or text me right away! Fortunately, the grass got cut before the loss!

Lost Ring in Strawberry Plains

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Lee had a problem that started with a simple afternoon of yard work. After losing some weight recently, his ring had become noticeably loose on his finger. While working outside on a hot, sweaty day, the ring finally slipped off and disappeared somewhere in the grass.
Lee decided to try finding it himself and rented a metal detector. Unfortunately, his yard turned out to be full of metal objects, and the detector was constantly giving signals. After searching without any luck, Lee went online and discovered TheRingFinders.com. He gave me a call, hoping I could help.
I headed over to his house and started searching the yard. It didn’t take long at all—about 10 minutes later, I got the signal I was looking for and pulled Lee’s ring from the grass!
Another ring recovered and another happy customer. Sometimes having the right equipment—and knowing how to use it—makes all the difference.
I’m glad Lee reached out before that ring became a permanent part of his yard!

Contact:

Got a call about a lost ring about 45 mins from home. Was out of town but able to get there later the same day.  Owner knew where she was at in the water the whole time and after about 2 hours of searching her ring was found.  Surprisingly tricky search for how good of directions and nice conditions of the water and sand.  But prevailed in the end.  Thank you for the call, and as always glad to help!

Contact:

Wednesday, August 12 at approximately 3:30 in the afternoon I received a call from Matt about a lost ring on the sand in front of their Airbnb. Matt was leaving the next day and want to know if I could search for his ring. I got the door address and left immediately. They were approximately 38 miles from me according to my GPS.

 

 

 

Once on site Matt Fill me in on what it happened when he lost his ring. He had placed his ring in his cupholder of his beach chair while he went swimming and then forgot about it when they carried the beach chairs up to the Airbnb. We started the search where the beach chairs were. Our first target was a Pull tab. His ring was an hour Ring I believe. It was silver color, but he was unsure of the metal so I was going to dig all the targets in this area. The second signal was loud clear signal. Moving a little sand, and there was his ring. His smile says it all.

Lost ring Deer Isle Maine

  • from Brewer (Maine, United States)
Contact:

This past Monday, August 10 I received a call from Dennis from the Ring Finder of Maine, just giving me a heads up about lost rings on deer aisle, Maine. I was able to contact Mariah through Facebook and offered my assistance. Mariah called me immediately and send me pictures and a location.

 

 

 

Once on site , I called Maria and she was able to direct me to where she took a picture 20 minutes before she lost her rings. She had placed her rings in the pants pocket of her shorts while she went swimming. After your swim, she picked up her shorts and started making her way to the exit before realizing that she didn’t have her rings. she searched immediately, could not find them. And then she searched three more times before she had to leave Deer Isle for her home in southern Maine. She lost the rings on a Friday so four or five tides had passed since she lost her ring.

 

 

 

I started my search At the lowest point on the beach that I felt she could’ve been and started working up as luck would have it. The ring was all the way up in the dry sand, so it was over an hour and a half of searching before I found the rings

 

Mariah drove from Southern Maine Wednesday evening to get a ring back. Her smile says it all.

Woman’s Wedding Ring found in Central Vermont

8/13/26

I was on my way home from a successful ring recovery this morning when I got a message from a lady who’s wedding ring was lost somewhere on her property. I told I would be there this evening to do an initial search.

When I got there she explained that she had temporarily put her ring with a few others in a container in the kitchen. One day, a few weeks ago, her very young daughter decided to try them on and go out in their large yard wearing them. Unfortunately one came up missing. At her age, she had no idea of the significance of that ring. So, they borrowed a metal detector, and didn’t have any luck with it.

They brought me out back and explained the areas that it might be in. I figured I could only cover about 1/3 of it in the couple hours that I had and promised to return if needed. I searched about 1-1/2 hours and was about to call it a day because it was getting dark and I was exhausted. There had been lots of signals, but just then I got a clear, gold tone. I pushed the pinpointer down into the lush, deep grass and there was a circle of white gold! I told the kids to go get Mom!!!

What a feeling to hand back a wedding ring to a young mother with a family.

2 rings in one day made me feel great!

Wedding Ring Lost a Year Ago in Vermont: Found

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

8/13/26

A few days ago I got a message from a fellow who had come north last Summer to vacation at a Summer camp. One day he had been washing his hands indoors, then stepped outdoors and shook the water off his hands. He felt his wedding ring fly off his finger and heard it hit something a few yards away. He searched for over an hour and couldn’t find it. Shortly after he had to go back home without his ring.

Just recently he heard about The Ring Finders, looked up a Vermont member and contacted me to give the service a try. I had a 4 day weekend this week, so was able to go do a search on my next day off. He sent me awesome photos of the search area and described what happened to his ring.

This morning the weather was beautiful, cool and clear. I went to the camp, talked with the manager and got started. Unfortunately, there was a massive air conditioner, a propane tank and a large metal culvert in the search area, so I figured that would make it a challenging search with such large metal obstacles giving off large signals. So, I started with the bushes and flowers, got many signals, but in about 20 minutes got the right signal for his ring. I poked my finger into the flower’s roots and about an inch down found his ring! He might have stepped on it while searching.

Soon, I will be reuniting him with his ring! Moral of the story, don’t give up on a ring, even if it’s been months or years.
