Lost Gold & Diamond ring, recovered, Sawyer Michigan, Lake Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)

Marilyn lost her gold ring yesterday, while out back with the family on the beach. Not sure if on the dry sand or in the water. This ring has her grandmother’s wedding ring diamonds mounted on it, so its of great sentimental value. Her son contacted me and we orchestrated the details and I was on my way over (time crunch, before work).
The potential loss area grew quite a bit after getting the tour of the beach area, but I would give it my best and return tomorrow if need be.
Nothing turned up on the dry, so I moved to the water.
She’d gone out to neck deep yesterday and said the sand had moved a lot overnight.
After a few passes, I got a nice signal in about thigh deep water. Sounded great, but also sounded like a US nickel (same exact vdi # 26), but when I peeked in the scoop, I saw that Gold ring and knew i’d got it. It was about 3-4” down in the sand.
Marilyn was amazed I’d found it!

The Vanderbilt Ring That Took a Swim

Wilden was out in the lake enjoying some time with his wife, tossing a football back and forth, when things took an unexpected turn. As Wilden threw the football to his wife, his newly acquired college ring slipped right off his hand and disappeared into the lake.
This wasn’t just any ring—it was his Vanderbilt University college ring, and his wife had just bought it for him about two days earlier! Needless to say, Wilden was probably already starting to think about how comfortable the doghouse was going to be.
I headed out to help and began searching the lake. Luckily, the water was only about 3–4 feet deep, making the search a little easier. It didn’t take long before I located Wilden’s Vanderbilt ring resting beneath the water.
Ring recovered, crisis averted, and most importantly… Wilden is officially out of the doghouse!
Another ring found, another happy ending.

Metal detecting service finds lost gold chain in Port Orange Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



This search began when Ronaldo called me asking if I could help him find his lost gold chain and medallion. Apparently while working at a neighbors house his chain was getting in the way of his bending over while putting an electric line in a ditch and he was concerned it would fall off or get damaged so he removed his chain and set it on the back bumper of his truck…thinking he would retrieve it later before driving his truck. BUT…you guessed it…he plumb forgot and drove his truck just a very short distance and all of a sudden he remembered his chain and when he stopped and checked his bumper…his precious chain was gone! He immediately returned to his neighbors yard thinking it must have fallen off into the grass but he walked for an hour looking and just could not find his lost gold chain anywhere. He even searched the road where he drove and nothing! When I arrived I began searching the thick grass and after an hour I too came up empty handed. Ronaldo was quite shaken and as we talked I encouraged him that if it was there I felt very confident we could find it and mentioned to again check the road where he drove and wouldn’t you know it…his chain was actually still just laying in the middle of the road in plain sight and had been run over at least once because the medallion was a bit bent and slightly scratched up but all in all his lost gold chain was in one piece! Ronaldo was ecstatic and thanked me over and over for coming out and helping him find his sentimental lost gold chain! What an honor it is for me to be able to help those in need of this unique and specialized service. I thank God often for allowing me the privilege to bring joy and happiness to people who need my help. So….how can I help you? Call, text or leave me a message at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Lost gold ring, FOUND! Cape May, NJ By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Phil yesterday just ahead of an incoming storm. Phil explained that he was exiting the ocean and shook off his hands when his wedding ring slipped off and was immediately swallowed up by a passing wave. Phil and his wife searched the shallow with no success. Given the time of day, current tide schedule and approaching storm I decided it would be best to attempt recovery during this morning low tide. Phil did an excellent job of marking the area with a pin and taking reference photos. This morning I arrived on the beach at Phils pinned location and began searching. After about an hours time I swung my coil over Phils ring and recovered it from approx 14” down in the sand! Phil and his family finished breakfast and met me on Decatur St beach, here in Cape May and retrieved his ring. Another successful recovery, another saved vacation!

Phils Review:

“Jeff is the best! I lost my gold wedding ring on the southern tip of Cape May beach right as the tide was coming in. We called Jeff immediately, and he was able to head out to the exact spot at the next low tide—roughly 19 hours later. About an hour into searching, he found it! We were sure it was gone forever, especially after a pretty bad storm rolled through that night. Jeff came to the rescue. He is highly professional, and I cannot recommend him enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Found & Returned to Owner – Lake Tahoe

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)

Sugar Pine Point State Park, Lake Tahoe, California: Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Found and Returned to the Owner by Metal Detector Specialist — Trevor Oxborrow.
Jack was working at the Lake Tahoe Triathlon five days ago and remembers talking off his work gloves several times throughout the day—but didn’t recognize the exact moment his wedding ring came off his finger. Later in the day, and not knowing for sure if the ring came off at Sugar Pine Point State Park, he double checked his gloves and thoroughly searched his car.
With very special words engraved on the inside of his ring and having worn this ring for decades, he knew he had to find it.
Being from Reno, Jack initially contacted Ring Finder—Michael Dewey, who happened to be out of town, so Michael forwarded Jack’s contact info to me.
I called Jack and arranged to meet him at Sugar Pine Point State Park at 10am. I arrived at 9:45am and few minutes later got a call from Jack who explained he was delayed by thirty minutes. He described, over the phone, one of the possible search locations and encouraged me to begin. I searched the area for twenty five minutes with only one target—a 1982 penny. My second solid target turned out to be Jack’s Special Lost Platinum Wedding Ring.
I immediately called Jack, who had been delayed again, and he couldn’t believe I had already found his ring.
We arranged to meet in Tahoe City.
I could tell that Jack was so relieved and happy to have his Special Ring back on his finger.

I received a frantic call from Darryl while he was actually standing in the ocean in front of a popular beach hotel! He went on to explain how his wife had lost her diamond engagement ring in knee deep water and he needed someone with a metal detector right away! It was a good one hour drive for me so I gave Darryl a local Ring Finders number and told him I would be praying that he could get the help he needed. Later that evening I texted Darryl to see if his wife’s lost diamond ring was recovered but it was not. According to the time that the ring was lost the tide was coming up and was getting close to high tide and the tide chart indicated that the next low tide was at 2:30 am the next morning and I figured that that would be the best optimal time to do a thorough search. I decided to text my friend, the local Ring Finder and ask if he would mind if I could go out in the middle of the night and look for Darryl’s wife’s lost diamond ring. There was an absolutely beautiful full moon and Darryl had given me very clear directions about where they were in the surf when she dropped her ring…like straight from the stairs behind the hotel leading down onto the sand. So I set out my flags and began a tight grid search pattern while using my long handled scoop to drag behind me marking the area I had covered. It only took 15 minutes to get the exact signal I was looking for and since the ring was lost only 7 hours earlier I decided to carefully scrape the hard packed sand away and two inches down there was the beautiful lost diamond ring that I was looking for! When I texted Darryl the good news it only took a matter of minutes for him to come running down onto the moonlit beach to see first hand his wife’s diamond ring…something he was sure he would never see again!

So how can I help you find what you have lost? Call, text or leave me a message and let’s talk!

53 yr. old ring lost in a Brainerd Minnesota lake Recovered using a metal detector

  • from Coon Rapids (Minnesota, United States)

This gracious gentleman spent the day tending to his lakeside shoreline, raking weeds and debris. Late that evening, he realized his 53-year-old wedding ring was missing.

He thought back over his day, and the only thing he could recall was removing a protective glove while standing in the water. He suspected the ring may have slipped off his finger at that moment.

He contacted me, and we agreed on a date to search the area. Using my Manticore metal detector, I thoroughly searched the shoreline and water.

Several items were recovered along the way, including a shotgun shell, two cans, a can top, and several soft-drink pull tabs. Once the area was cleaned up, the search continued.

Finally, the signal we were hoping for appeared—the wedding ring!

The ring was found in approximately three feet of water and about ten inches down in the sand.

What makes this recovery even more special is that this ring has been on his finger for 53 years! It is only removed twice a year when he takes it to the jeweler for polishing. After all those years, it certainly wasn’t ready to be lost!

I am so glad your ring was found and returned to you. Thank you for choosing me to be your ring finder. It was truly an honor to help bring such a meaningful piece of your history back home! ?

Lost gold & diamond medallion, FOUND! North Cape May, New Jersey

By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Bree. Bree explained that she had attended a wedding on the bay, here, in Lower Twp. While at the wedding, Bree had lost a very special medallion from her necklace. This particular piece was a gift upon her retirement from The United Stated Coast Guard. This was probably one of the oldest pieces I have recovered for someone as she explained that this piece dates back to the 1650’s! Bree believed that the medallion may have been pulled off by a child she was holding at some point during the ceremony. Bree and her family had returned several times with sand sifters, spending hours searching for the piece with no luck. Bree explained that she and her family had even considered purchasing their own detector but weren’t sure of the quality and pricing of what they found locally and how to properly use the device. After gathering some specifics, I proceeded down to Bay drive and began my search. Luckily Bree was able to provide some great photos of where the wedding had taken place on the beach that day. After about 10 minutes of searching, I managed to recover the medallion and circle clasp that attached it. When Bree arrived to meet me I told her that she didn’t need to get sandy as I already had her medallion recovered, much to her amazement and relief. Happy tears began flowing! Another happy ending, another successful recovery!

PLATINUM WEDDING RING LOST ON NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH FOUND IN SECONDS

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)


Tim told me he had spent a few hours at a North Topsail Beach access with his dog before packing up and heading home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized his wedding ring was missing. I offered to drive the 75 miles to meet him right away and help find it. When we met, Tim had a clear memory of where he’d set up on the beach and mentioned his dog had dug a spot in the sand there. We both figured the ring had to be nearby. I asked him to choose the spot he thought it might be, and he was only off by about a foot. Passing through the area, I got a strong 63 signal on my XP Deus II metal detector—right in the platinum range. I told him, “Your ring is right there,” marking the spot with my coil. My pinpointer quickly confirmed it, and I pulled Tim’s wedding band from its sandy hiding place.

This year’s charity is “Fishin’ for a Cure,” and 10% of Tim’s reward will be donated to support individuals battling breast cancer.

Lost heirloom silver/ruby ring, recovered, Cherry Beach, Lakeside Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)


Ahmed called me while I was heading home from a long afternoon of detecting in Lake Michigan. He had just realized that his “silver ruby” ring went missing while at Cherry Beach.
It was getting dark, but offered the option of heading up in about an hour.
We met at the parking lot, geared up and hit the beach. He was not sure when, where or how it was lost. He stated he’d help “bury a friend” in a big hole near where their towels were and also threw handfuls of sand at other friends in a few different directions. So, it turned into a mystery type hunt, fairly large area, but not too bad.
I covered the dry sand first, covering about twenty steps in the directions he’d tossed sand. Nothing there, so I entered the water, made a few passes where he’d also thrown sand towards. After finding an old pull ring, I got a nice high silver sounding signal and scooped that big gypsy style ring. He said it was his late father’s ring, that was handed down for him to wear.
