Received a call from Tom. He explained that his wife had dropped her diamond ring somewhere between the beach entrance and where they set up on the beach. Took the short ride over from home and met up with Tom at the entrance to Philadelphia beach. Tom led me from the entrance of the beach to where his party had set up their belongings for the day. I checked the path to their site while he directed me to it with a few coins found along the way. One reaching their site I met Toms wife Thanh and bean checking around their cabana. With the first swing I heard a familiar tone. One shallow scoop later I had Thanh’s ring in the scoop, much to the couples relief! Another happy couple!
Thanh’s review:
“While on vacation I lost my wedding ring at the beach in Cape May. 😥 I was DEVASTATED. My husband found Jeff through a quick google search and within 15 minutes of making contact, he was at our beach site and within 1 minute he said “don’t worry, I got it,” and found my ring!! It was incredible!!
Thank you again, Jeff, for finding my ring! If anyone ever loses their jewelry in Cape May, reach out to Ring Finders Cape May. He’s the best!”

New Haven CT Channel 8 news meeting CT’s own Treasure Hunter August 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

I was asked to be interviewed by Ann Nyberg a celebrated and award-winning anchorperson for Channel 8 news in CT. We discussed my start in detecting 37 years ago, my membership in three CT clubs Nutmeg Treasure Hunters, Yankee Territory Coin shooters, and Southern New England Relic Hunters and most recently my membership in the @theringfinders,com organization. Ann asked my favorite find over the years and there’s been so many that it was hard to choose just one. But I chose a very meaningful one for me that was about a young boy losing his heirloom Grandfathers ring in the ocean and giving up hope until his mother contacted me and after three tries of narrowing the location where he had been playing catch in the ocean and using his hand drawn treasure map , I was able to locate the ring. His mother cooked a meal for our club, and we awarded the ring back that night and she honored me with a beautiful St Anthony medal.

Lost and Found in Berkeley backyard

  • from Pacifica (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from a young husband and new father saying that his wife had recently lost her ring in their backyard.
I drove out to their lovely Craftsman-era rental in Berkeley after work and went to work. This young couple, tired in their new roles as parents, were distraught over the loss of the ring.
When looking for lost items like rings, it is important that I get all of the information before beginning my search. Where were you sitting/standing when it fell off? What were you doing? Where did you hear it land or bounce?

We all believed it was most likely under the porch and that when it flew off of her finger it hit the deck and slipped between boards. I spent several hours under the deck sweeping away leaves, clearing out wire, nails, and other metal odds and ends and yet I could not locate the ring.

It was getting dark so I offered to return on the next available day as they were heading out of town. The following Tuesday I was back out and determined to find it. On this second trip I knew I had to think outside the box. I sat on the porch where she had been sitting when she lost the ring, imitating her movements from that evening, and even spent a little while under the porch again, this time with her help. During the week between my visits the Meyer lemon trees in the planter at the end of the deck were trimmed back a bit making it easier for me to really get in there with minimal pokes and pricks from the thorny branches. The planter was rotting and there were many gaps for items to fall into so I concentrated on these areas. I was running out of options and I really hate not being able to successfully return an item that I am called out to find. Digging through rotted wood, leaves and the odd ping pong ball, I reached down and pulled out this beautiful gold ring.

In the end, it was less about having a metal detector, and more about perseverance. People often think it will take mere minutes to locate their lost items with a metal detector. Many people give up within the first 20 minutes and I have to encourage them to let me keep working. Sometimes they leave me, thinking they will never see their precious item again. But if the item is there, I will find it.

Lost Ring in Rental Car near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho….Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

The thought to remove one’s ring before doing an activity may very well save the rings from being lost. However, for Linda the act of taking off her rings was what led to the disappearance for her wedding ring. While traveling in their rental car to their next destination, Linda decided to put on some sunscreen. The car her husband was driving had a large console in the middle of the car. On the console was a sliding door with a lip around the outside. A very nice resting place for her two wedding rings. Although the lip around the door was sufficient, the inertia caused by a right-hand turn sent the two rings flying. The large engagement ring stayed on the door, but the smaller thinner band had a mind of its own.

The car made it to its destination, Linda and Jeffery her husband, nonchalantly began to look for the lost ring. It must be on the floorboard they thought. So, under the floor mat they looked. They also looked under the seat and on the side of the seat. Their mood changed dramatically, a lost and hopeless wave covered over their minds. The family they were with, began to help the search. Linda’s lost ring was lost for good.

Lost for good, is where the search for The Ring Finders begins.

I was out with my family when a text message showed up. Linda wanted my help with the ring in the car. The time that the car had to be returned put a rush on me getting to the rental car. With all of my lost jewelry searches I bring as much gear that I can to help me with the task. For Lindas search, I had my two stream lights, a tool called a stick, a borescope, and a no quit attitude. Every step I take on a car search is to eliminate each and every hiding spot. After searching front to back and top to bottom, I got my borescope and began looking into the cracks of the car. On the last pass of the passenger side seat, I was able to look into the console to see the void that was under the sliding door. In the far-left corner, I saw the perfect shape of a ring. The further I moved toward the ring revealed the diamonds around the edge of the ring.

Leaping with excitement inside myself, I tried to calmly say that « I found the ring ». I knew the really tough part of this search had just begun. Extracting the ring from the car would ultimately cause the ring to fall deeper into the subfloor. At which point the Ford mechanics had to step in. Two techs had to take the car apart enough to lift the console up. With the pictures Linda had taken, the men knew where to look for the ring and were successful in retrieving it.

This search took many hands to complete the mission, and I truly feel that all Ring Finders are superheroes, but even Batman had Robin.

Lost Wedding Ring set at Coeur d’Alene lake…Found!!!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

The summer heat was making the sand too hot to walk on, so Emma retreated to the cool lapping waves on Coeur d’Alene lake. While enjoying the water, her friends and family started a game of water volleyball. While passing the ball back and forth, Emma spiked the ball. As the spinning ball flew off her hand, so did her two wedding rings.  Everyone around Emma heard her panicked cry to stop, so they all froze and devised a plan to get the rings back. The rings sank deep into the water and hid in the sand as her friends and family dove and snorkeled around searching.

The day drew to a close, so the search was called off. Emma reluctantly left that beach praying for her rings, that they wouldn’t be found by a rogue treasure hunter.

Later that night, after researching metal detector rentals, Reddit told Emma to call the Ring Finders.

I got a call from Emma while at work. Emma described her tragic day to me. The news that Emma’s silver wedding rings were lost on CDA beach was alarming. I was off like a flash to gather my gear and head to the beach. After getting in the water and Emma giving me x and y axis for the drop zone, I began searching. The wind was whipping up the waves so high the water crested over my head. I kept the search going for two hours. After completing a wide seach area, I asked Emma for more areas to search. This question revealed some discriptive details that Emma’s brother in-law had noted. There were notches cut into the retaining wall for the beach where Emma sat. Her brother in-law had counted off 5.5 notches to the west and counted out 18 paces into the water where Emma was standing. I walked backwards as I kept my eyes on the 5th notch. About belly button high water, I got a repeatable 7 signal on my Equinox. It wasn’t a silver tone, but I dug it up anyways. As the sand fell through through the holes on my scoop, a diamond ring appeared.  While calling Emma over to confirm that I found her ring, I noticed the stamp in the ring said 18k. With a dreaded tone in my voice I said to Emma, « It’s not your ring it’s a gold ring ». As Emma returned to where she sat, I finished detecting up to the edge of the water. Thinking the ring I found was super valuable I called Emma over to keep a hold of it. As I handed her the ring, she exploded with emotion. « That’s my ring! » she said. I was shocked, so I asked her to show me the photo she had of the ring. It was a match. The silver color was what Emma was describing to me, not the metal the ring was made out of.  Determined, I knew the other ring was not far from the one I found. Keeping the same line, I walked backward into the water. I was in chest high water when my detector picked up a 7-8 signal . I shook out the sand to reveal a rusted bobby pin. As I removed it from the magnet in my scoop, I saw a shining object in the corner of the scoop. It was Emma’s other ring. I pumped my fist into the air to show Emma I had found it and walked quickly back to the edge of the shore. The news I found her rings reached back to the small family sun bathing on the beach, and they cheered as Emma and I walked off the beach.

This search tested my stamina, but the sharp details Emma’s brother in-law had recorded, gave hope. Hope mixed with prayers was the recipe that found these rings for Emma.
