Lost ring in the sand, Ponce Inlet, Fl…..Found and Returned!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Dom and his girlfriend were spending a warm summer day at the beach near Ponce Inlet, Florida, basking in the hot sun and swimming in the cool Atlantic waters. His girlfriend had taken her heirloom ring off and set it in the cupholder of her beach chair and soon forgot all about it. As high tide approached it was time to go and they gathered up their chairs, tent and other belongings and loaded up the truck and yes you guessed it, the ring fell into the soft sand and disappeared! They soon remembered the ring and returned to their parking spot on the beach and scoured the sand but realized the impossible task of finding such a small item in so soft of sand. For the next day and a half they agonized over the loss and that prompted a Google search which led them to theringfinders.com!

I assured Dom that I would come out and look for their ring and would search the following day as well if I was unable to find it on my first try.

We met the next day and as Dom tried to remember exactly where he had parked his truck, I began to grid search a large area hoping to come across his girlfriends lost ring. My new Whites TDI Beach Hunter was running smooth and hitting deep targets so I felt confident that if I went over the ring it would give a good signal and sure enough, an hour into the search, there in the sand was the lost opal and white gold ring waiting to be retrieved! The relief on Dom’s face was priceless and I was reminded again of why I love this service so much! It was an honor to help Dom and I am thankful to God for allowing me to find and return his girl friends lost ring!

Lost Gold Woman’s Ring in a Ohio lake. “FOUND” with Testimonial

  • from Newark (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

I received an email about a lost gold ring in a lake. The ring is the family heirloom that has been passed down for generations. After getting the details, we setup a day and time to perform the ring search. The ring was lost in about 2 to 4 feet of cloudy lake water, which was unable to see anything. So with the trusty water metal detector, sand scoop and continuing searching, the ring was found! She was overly in joy that the ring was found. Now she can keep the tradition of passing the ring on to the next generation. I was able to bless her in prayer.

Her testimonial is posted below…

Her Testimonial:

I do believe and I believe in miracles! So blessed to have had to opportunity to witness one!

On July 5th I had visited the beach and lost my gold ring in the water while catching a football. In a split second I knew the ring had slipped off my finger and I was so devastated. I spent nearly 2 hours waist deep in murky water trying to feel my foot on the seabed for a ring but no luck. People were kicking up sand and boats nearby were causing waves to pull in and out to shore.

Heartbroken I left with no hope of finding the ring. After a long prayer and a few Facebook posts later I turned to the internet and found Jon in the OH area with multitudinous ringfinders testimonies and I immediately emailed him. After an immediate response we decided to schedule the search Sunday and meet up.

The day before the search there were numerous people in the area and a storm causing the water to rise and I was so afraid the ring would’ve moved from the area that I was in. The day of the search it took Jon no longer than 45 minutes to locate my ring in the swelled waters with his underwater equipment and I was FILLED with joy and relief! It was embedded deep underneath the sand and I would have never found it on my own.

This was a ring engraved with the initials of my boyfriend and his father, which had been passed down and was a promise ring to me which I’ve had worn everyday for 2 years. It meant the world to me and I was so heartbroken to have lost it.

I am so immensely grateful for Jon and his hard work to search and find my ring. My prayer to God had been answered and He sent Jon and his wonderful father in law for that search. He prayed over me and I am forever grateful for their service!

God bless,

Shelby

Family Heirloom Ring Recovered – Huntington Beach, CA

  • from Sunset Beach (California, United States)

Alejandro told me his Cousin was boogie boarding when he hit the sand and broke his nose. During this mishap his gold and ruby ring which was his late Grandfathers fell off into the surf. I said I would go first thing in the morning during low tide to search for this family heirloom. My intuition paid off and I found the ring after a two hour hunt right when the tide was at its lowest point.

The loss happened on July 5th and I recovered it on July 7th. This is a popular beach for detectorists and we were lucky it was not found during this busy July 4th weekend.

Wedding ring recovered at Washington Island, Door County

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)

On June 18th I was contacted by a group of vacationing friends who were very concerned about a lost wedding ring.   They saw it fly off Jen’s finger into the lake while they were paddle boarding.  Needless to say, they were on pins and needles worrying about it.   It was 90-mile drive, plus a ferry ride to the island, but I finally arrived the next morning.  They rigged me up with a paddle board, which I had never ridden before, but I managed to maneuver it a few hundred yards out to the location and hopped in.   Luckily, it was a tiny bay sheltered from the wind, so the water wasn’t too cold, and it was only about chest-deep.     I located the ring’s signal within two minutes, but my first scoop didn’t cut through the roots on the bottom, where it had wedged.    Luckily, bearing down hard did the trick and I had the ring back on Jen’s finger in no time.  She was one happy camper!    It’s easy to see why – the ring is beautiful and irreplaceable.

2019 class ring recovered from nausea beach orleans ma

  • from Orleans (Massachusetts, United States)

last night I received an email from alexis stating she lost her class ring on nauset beach in the wet sand down by the orleans resident ORV area. I went down there early this morning to try to search the area but came up empty handed. By 830 she called me to give a better location so back I went, a ranger was kind enough to give me a ride down the beach to save 20 minutes of walking. So I was back in the same area as earlier and spent about 30 minutes going over an area just to the north of where I previously was when I got my first solid signal which turned out to be her ring

I sent alexis a picture of her ring to let her know I had it and it was safe, needless to say she was very happy and will be back on cape on Tuesday to be reunited with it

Lost Gold Ring in West Vancouver…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

I received a call from a young lady the other day asking if I could help her find a lost ring that was a gift from her mom & dad and daughter, many years ago. After asking a few questions I came to realize she wasn’t a hundred percent sure it was lost where she thought it was…in the garden.

To her it made sense because she put the rings on just before she went out for lunch then at the last second she  jumped in the garden to do a few things, she didn’t realize until later she was missing one ring. After searching the car and then searching her house she thought of renting a metal detector and that’s when she found TheRingFinders.

Why rent a metal detector when you can hire a metal detecting expert to come out and help you find your lost item…It will save you countless hours and ensure you that the ring is there or not there. I always wonder how many people have rented a metal detector and didn’t find their ring and just gave up? Its not as easy as we make it look, we know our detectors and importantly the environment we are searching and the questions that will help us get close to what we are looking for.

In this search I couldn’t use my metal detector because of the thick over growth of flowers & plants and the fact that there was wire hold the flowers up. OK bring out the handheld pin pointer and get on my hands and knees and start the slow search!

Not long after searching the first area, Bingo! I was lucky to find her beautiful ring in the second location!

Spring Lake, Michigan keeps a ring

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:
Got a call from my Ring Finder friend Chuck Raison about a man in Spring Lake, Michigan who lost his ring in about 20 feet of murky water. Chuck was unable to dive for a while and asked if I knew a diver. I got in touch with Greg Lewis, a diver I had recently met and asked him if he would dive. We arranged a meeting spot at my house and went to the site where the ring went down.
I gave Greg my Fisher CZ21  to use and adapted it for diving and in the water he went.
What are the odds of diving in an area 50’ x 50’ in 20’ of water with no visibility, 6” of muck and using an unfamiliar metal detector to find a white gold ring with 3 diamonds in it?
I’m writing this story as I watch Greg’s bubbles rise in the water while he searches the area.
« Guide his eyes his ears his hands and his feet, guide them to the ring he seeks, Amen » so my little pray goes.
Seth, is a West Point graduate who is stationed at Ft Polk, LA and couldn’t stick around for the ring rescue but his Father-in-law met us at the scene. Thank you to the gracious neighbor who let us use their dock as a staging area. 
After 1 hour in the water in zero visibility Greg had to come up and change tanks. We use the other tank with a string and an empty water bottle to lower in the area of the lost ring to give him a reference to swim around. This may need some more engineering for another trip.
Well the dive is over and the only thing that was brought up was an old Blatz Beer can. This is the end of this story but not the end of the search. Stay tuned.

Beautiful wedding band recovered in Wilmington, DE

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Doug contacted me late afternoon in a bit of a panic. He was at a corporate picnic at a Delaware state park and while playing volleyball with his colleagues he realized his very sentimental wedding band was no longer on his finger. While he did not know the exact moment when it slipped off he was quite sure he lost it in the middle of a heated volleyball game.
I had just gotten home from work and told him I could be there in about an hour…he gratefully said he would be waiting for me. When I got there he showed me the area of the volleyball court where he thought it most likely came off. I took 5 minutes and demonstrated how my equipment works so h e could be confident that I would find it as long as he put me in the area that it was lost. It took about 10 minutes to search the side of the court where he thought he lost it with no success. I suggested not to despair… I would check the other side. 30 seconds later this heavy, beautiful, white gold band showed itself for my detector. Cheers all around!!! Doug and his wife were extremely happy to have his beautiful ring back in their possession.

Wedding band lost and found in Beadle Lake, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)

Chris and Courtney were enjoying a 4th of July weekend at Tad and Jaime’s home on Beadle Lake, which included  volleyball in the lake.  Chris was in knee-deep water when he reached up with his left hand to stop the ball.  As the ball hit his hand he felt his wedding ring come off.

Because the ball ended up out of bounds on the lawn, Chris  believed his ring must be right near that same area — which was behind him.  Gregg Larabel and I arrived the very next day and started searching that entire area of the volleyball court and lawn area.  We were concerned that the iron seawall, which ran the length of the court, would interfere with the metal detector readings if the ring had landed close to either side of the seawall.

After searching Chris’ side of the net and the adjacent grass area with no results, I went to the other side of the net on the chance that his hand had been moving forward when the ring came off.  About six feet beyond the net I found his ring.  It’s amazing where these rings turn up sometimes.  In the heat of the battle, (or a volleyball match) a man never knows his own strength.  The whole family was relieved the ring was found and they can continue to enjoy the holiday weekend on a good note.  It is such a pleasure for Gregg and for me to meet such nice people.  And we both thrive on finding the treasure!

Lost White Gold Engagement Ring With Diamonds Found In Wixom Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

I Dig Chicks With Sparklers!

 

The pictured couple was enjoying the 4th of July today playing with a RED ball under WHITE cloudy skies in a pool of BLUE water with their little FIRECRACKER daughter. She’s extremely active and full of energy and was described as having the energy of a hummingbird. As they were in the pool she threw the ball out of the pool onto the grass. Mom got out and upon returning the throw her engagement ring came off. When we talked they had been using a toy type metal detector so I said I can come by and wanted to make their 4th of July a better day. When I got there, chatting with mom where the ring may have fell off the lil’ daughter was zapping around the yard just like what they said. I started a grid search and it didn’t take too long when I got « the signal » we detectorists refer to as « the one »! Pinpointing with my Garrett carrot revealed this beautiful SPARKLER showing itself to me from the dark grass, mesmerizing me momentarily with it’s beauty making me feel like I wish time could stand still a bit longer! Mom came running over and reached down and pulled the ring from the grass totally ecstatic and frantically jumping up and down. Fiancee’ followed and their energy displayed was a different kind of FIREWORKS! I thanked them and they thanked me and I wished them the best in their new journey together pursuing their American dream and keeping the American Spirit Alive!
