Lost Sentimental Gold Ring at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began yesterday when I got a text from Amanda who was on vacation from Brazil she texted, « Hi, we’re at the Aulani Disney Resort and my sister lost her golden ring, the lost and found gave me your number, in case we need the metal detector.  Can you help us? » Amanda sent me a pic of the ring and where in the water her sister lost the ring.  It was only ankle deep.  I told her I would return at first light the next morning for the recovery.  When I arrived I started a grid search.  It took less then ten minutes to locate the ring in the shallow calm water.  We met at Makiki Joe’s Beach Rentals for the return and Amanda’s sister was extremely pleased as you can see by the smile on her face.  Aloha to Amanda & her sister!

Lost Gold Wedding Ring Recovered —in the water—Tahoe Vista, Lake Tahoe, California!

  • from Carson City (Nevada, United States)

January 1st, 2026: The Client and his wife went Polar Plunging in Lake Tahoe. The video showed him wearing the wedding ring as he entered the water and few minutes later he realized the ring was missing, apparently falling off his finger in waist deep water. Later that evening, the Client contacted me—Trevor Oxborrow, to schedule a lost ring water search.
January 2nd, 2026: 9:30am I arrived at the Tahoe Sands beachside resort to begin the search. The air temperature was 40 degrees Fahrenheit with an estimated water temperature of 48 degrees Fahrenheit. The Client described the ring loss circumstances and search zone. I geared-up with my wetsuit, blu3 Nemo and XP Deus 2. Thirty minutes into the grid search I got the perfect target signal, but typically it was just a dang old pull-tab. Five minutes later I got another solid target….dug my scoop deep….sieved out the sand….there it was….a brilliant yellow and white gold 14k wedding ring. Client and wife were very happy.
Another great day at Lake Tahoe!

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Following an early snowfall in Barrie, I was contacted by Alana. She had lost her engagement ring outside of her 2nd story condo, following the 1st big snow of the season. Once I reached site, I reviewed the situation & using my « Detecting Detective » skills, I was able to locate the ring in under 5 minutes. Urgency was required, as the snowplow was waiting to clear the snow.

She was SO happy! Another successful ring find, in the snow!

Alana said « I lost my engagement ring in the snow,  during the middle of the night and was so distraught. I messaged Paul in the morning and he came that day. Not only did he find the ring within 5 minutes but he was also very kind and positive the entire time.

WWII Heirloom Wedding Ring Lost & Found

  • from Grand Haven (Michigan, United States)

I received a text from Henry who had lost his wedding ring on New Year’s Day in the parking lot at the Gerald R Ford International Airport.  He had returned 3 times to try and locate it with no luck.  He and his wife had recently moved to the Grand Rapids area from TX and were desperate to locate his ring which had been his wife’s Great Grandfather’s.   It was one of only a few items that her great grandparents were able to escape Poland with during WWII.  It was engraved with their wedding date back in 1923.  Even though the parking lot had been plowed, I was able to locate it covered in snow after a short search.  It was a little dinged up from being run over by the plow but Henry was amazed and elated he had it back to pass on to the next generation.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I received a frantic call from Lucy, who had lost her cherished heirloom gold necklace and medallion while swimming in the surf at Emma Wood Beach in Ventura. The loss happened at low tide, which meant any recovery attempt would involve braving the cold Pacific Ocean waves. I arrived at the site within an hour of her call and spent two hours battling the surf, but the necklace remained elusive. I explained to Lucy that an upcoming good minus tide on New Year’s Day could improve our chances, as the waves would recede further, allowing me to search deeper in the water.
Yesterday, it was time to head back out for another try. Since the initial loss, the area had seen over 8 inches of rain, causing significant sand movement and shifting tides—making the odds of recovery even slimmer. But with faith and my trusted Minelab Manticore detector, I prayed for success. After about 30 minutes of grid searching, I hit a deep non-ferrous tone with a fluctuating ID that screamed « valuable target. » Standing in shin-deep water, it took 10 determined scoops to extract it, as waves kept refilling the hole with sand. On that final scoop, I spotted the chain dangling from my scoop—Lucy’s family heirloom necklace was found!
When it comes to how to find lost jewelry in the sand at the beach, remember that time is critical. Tides, shifting sands, and even other hobbyists with metal detector rentals in Ventura or Santa Barbara can complicate things quickly.
