Found in Indianapolis, IN

  • from Bristol (Indiana, United States)

I got a text from this gentleman was wondering if I could find his wife’s ring that he bought her. He was so amazed that people actually find rings for other people. He said they where taking photos of her on an inner tube in the water when she felt it slip off. We made arrangements and I drove 3 hrs one way and met him there. I got my gear on and went to work it took me about 30 minutes but I found it in about 4 ft of water he just couldn’t believe it and he couldn’t thank me enough. It’s always rewarding when you are able to return something someone lost. 

Recovered wedding band on Melbourne Beach FL

  • from Melbourne Beach (Florida, United States)

I received a call from Keith in New Mexico, he had lost his wedding band on vacation at Melbourne Beach. He asked  for my help. Unfortunately it was lost in the surf a week earlier. My first search was not successful due to large waves. I tried again a few days later when the seas had calmed down.  I was waist deep and got a strong signal. It took another 20 minutes to recover. This was a tough one! I texted him a pic of the ring and he was astounded that I had found it. Another happy ending.

 

 

 

44 Year old University Ring Lost and Recovered in Nottawasaga River Wasaga Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

A few days ago, I was contacted by a man who had lost something incredibly meaningful in the Nottawasaga River in Wasaga Beach, Ontario — his late father’s university ring.

It had slipped off his finger during a night swim. In the darkness, there was no hope of finding it. The current, and water visability , and the fact that it was pitch black made it feel like it was gone forever.

But he didn’t give up. He reached out to me, and with the help of an underwater metal detector and some careful diving, I was able to return to the river in the daylight and begin a precise search.

After methodically scanning the riverbed, I got a signal — and there it was, nestled between some stones: his father’s ring, still intact.

Returning it to him was a powerful moment. You could see the weight lift off his shoulders. This wasn’t just a piece of jewelry — it was a symbol of legacy, love, and connection to someone he deeply missed.

I’m grateful to be able to help recover items like this. They’re more than metal — they’re memories.

If you’ve lost something valuable in the water, don’t hesitate to reach out. You’d be surprised what can be recovered with the right tools and persistence.

Found Class ring in lake.

  • from Bristol (Indiana, United States)

I got a text from this lady and she was wondering if I could find her ring she lost a few days ago while hitting a volleyball in the water. She said I was in about 3 to 4 feet of water. So i went out and met her at the beach. She told me where she thought she was so I searched for about 2 hrs and could not find it so I boardened the search area and she insisted that she was over where she pointed. I explained to her that I had cleared that area and sometimes where you  » lost » the ring isn’t alway where you thought and maybe its away from the spot. So she agreed on letting me widen the « search » area and 15 minutes later I found it! She couldn’t believe that it wad that far away from where she thought she was. She said her mother worked and saved for a long time so she could give it to her for graduation and that ring was the most expensive gift that she got from her. She said they had a baptism there at the beach on Sunday and afterwards they where playing in the water the water temp was about 60 degrees and she hit the ball as she was about to leave and she seen it come off. She agreed that she is not going to swim with it on again lol. I thank God for directing me and helping me bring hope to people again.

IPhone lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

I got a call from Cassidy just before noon saying she had lost her phone last night around midnight. She said she lost it in the dry sand, plus some other details. She gave me the address, and I told her I’d be there in about 20-30 minutes. Grabbed my gear and was on my way. When she originally called, she said she was in Myrtle Beach. Since North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach are two separate cities having the same names, it makes it tough sometimes for tourist to distinguish between the two. Cassidy told me she was around a local pub, so I knew I was headed to North Myrtle Beach.

When I arrived at the beach, it was packed with people and a heat index of over 100 degrees. I met Cassidy and she showed me the area where she was sure she lost her phone. I really thought the IPhone would be on top of the sand as it’s too big to disappear in the sand like a ring would. I did the best I could, weaving in and out of the beach goers without disturbing them too much. Cassidy was talking to one of the beach chair rental guys and he asked me if I needed him to move people. Although I’ve done that in the past, I normally just keep working the area until they get the hint and volunteer to move. He walked up to 2 separate couples and got them to move their belongings and chairs, but I still had to contend with the umbrellas. I cleared the first area and as I was working the second area, I got the unmistakable signal of a cell phone. I gently stuck my scoop behind the target, so I wouldn’t damage it, and lifted the sand out of the hole. As soon as I did, out popped her IPhone. As I turned it over to see the brightly colored case, she came running. She was so excited and thankful.

Cassidy – Thank you for allowing me to help find your IPhone

Family Ring Recovered Atlantic Highlands

While at work I got a text from Katie asking for help in finding her grandfather’s ring lost in her backyard. Told her I’d come out after work to help. It seems her husband Homer was wearing the ring while gardening and it flew off his finger while tossing weeds he pulled. I turned on my detector and it was going crazy with interference from somewhere. I lowered the sensitivity to the lowest I could go but it really didnt help. After looking for awhile with no luck I was getting frustrated so I called my buddy Matty St Germain asking if he had any ideas that would help. He told me I had to turn the sensitivity back up to where I usually have it and deal with the interference and listen for carefully for signals. I did but still no luck in the area Homer thought the ring should be. I decided to detect outside the area and about 10 feet off to the side I got a good signal and looking down there was Katie’s grandfather’s ring in the tall grass. I turned off the detector and walked towards Katie saying the interference was to bad and the look of disappointment changed quickly to joy when I showed her the ring in my hand. A great feeling giving back something so special.

Man’s Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Surf, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

I got a call just after 3 p.m. today from Nate asking if I could help find his wedding ring. I had just finished up my yard work, so I was hot, sweaty and dirty. I agreed to be there in about 20 minutes and apologized for what my appearance would be. I asked him about what time he lost it and if he was in the water. He said he lost it about 1:15 or so and they were in ankle deep. Great news because we were in an outgoing tide, so by the time I got there, the ring should be buried in the wet sand.

When I got to the hotel, I met Nate in the parking garage. We walked out to the area he lost his ring. He explained that he was playing catch with a football and his ring slipped off his finger. The good part was he’s right-handed, so the ring didn’t get thrown off. He showed me the area; I confirmed the type of ring and went to work on my grid search. I didn’t get too far and as I made my turn, I asked him if I had gone far enough on that grid line. He had me extend my line by a few feet and when I took a couple more steps, I got a solid 13 on my detector. A small man’s gold ring can ring up at 13, but so does a pull tab and a nickel. This particular target was a nickel, so I kept going. A foot away I got a signal reading 20-21, 95% of the time this will be a penny. Thinking it was a penny and that I had come across a coin drop of numerous coins, I didn’t dig it up. Mistake!!! After gridding a couple more lines and thinking about the “Penny”, I asked Nate about the size of his ring. In my experience a man’s thick heavy gold ring could ring up in the high teens. Just so there was no doubt in my mind, I went back to the signal and took a scoop of sand. As I pulled the scoop out of the hole, I saw the shimmer of yellow gold in the sand on the side of the hole. I don’t know if Nate saw it, but I reached down and pulled the ring out of the sand. Nate, with no hesitation confirmed it was his ring. This was a lesson learned for me. Nate was so relieved he had his beautiful wedding band back where it belonged.

Nate – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and all the rewards of being a new father. Happy Father’s Day!!
