Lost Gold Heirloom Band at Hale Koa Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a call from Kathy who was on vacation from Buffalo, New York and staying at the Hale Koa Hotel in Waikiki.  While enjoying a day at the beach with friends she put her four rings in a beach wrap to apply suntan lotion.  Later when she retrieved the wrap her four rings fell out into the sand.  They were able to find three but the fourth ring which was her Father’s wedding ring became well hidden in the sand and after an hour with no sign of the precious heirloom that’s when someone told them about « The Ring Finders ».  I told Kathy I was 15 minutes away and would come right down to hunt.  When I arrive, turn on the detector and take a few steps.  BOOM #41 on the Manticore, one scoop and ring recovered.  Hugs & Joy all around!  Aloha to Kathy!

I was contacted by Cody and Rebecca after Cody’s wedding ring was lost at the beach. He had taken it of to secure it in their bag when he went into the water. What happened was the bag was moved before the ring was retrieved, and when Cody went to put it back on it was gone, supposedly in the sand somewhere. I had just finished another search, and was immediately available, letting them know I would be there in a short amount of time.

When I got there I met Cody and Rebecca down on the sand where they had been sitting. They told me that they had left earlier, but were able to secure the same spot when they returned. They also said that they had searched with friends for a considerable amount of time to no avail. I began my search, but before I did I placed a nickle on the sand and went over it with my detector; no signal. The amount of iron in the sand was canceling out anything else, so I had to make adjustments in my detector in order to be able to use it in this environment. I then began to search, and within 10 minutes I had Cody’s ring. He and Rebecca were thrilled to see it again, and congratulated me on the recovery. It also always makes my day to be able to hand what once was thought lost forever back to the rightful owner.

Old Silver Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts. Men’s Lost Wedding Ring Found for Owner by Metal Detecting

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

16 September 2024

When George lost the gold wedding band that had encircled his ring finger for 47 years he had little hope that he’d ever see it again.  He’d been enjoying a swim in chest deep water when he felt the ring slip off, and an attempted search in the mobile sand proved fruitless.  Later in the evening his daughter learned of the RingFinders through the Fabulous Falmouth Facebook page and early the next morning she called me to see if I might be able to help.  I of course said yes, I’d be happy to do a search.  She said she’d get in touch with her father, who lives off-Cape, so that we could arrange to meet and he could direct me to the area to search.  When I received his call and got some information about where he lost the ring I headed to the beach to start the search while he was on his way to meet me.  The timing was good, tide-wise, as water in the search area was now only shin- to knee-deep.  It was also good that I had received the call early, as there were already two other detectorists in the area when I arrived.  Fortunately, there was no conflict over the places that we were searching.

I set up a search pattern and within about 45 minutes had that magical signal that says ‘gold’.  One scoop and I pulled up George’s ring.  It had taken only one and a half tidal cycles for the ring to be buried 6-8″ deep as the waves shifted sand across the seabed.

I pocketed the ring and continued on searching the area while I waited for George to arrive.  He appeared about a half hour later and we stood on the beach and chatted for a few minutes.  He pointed out the area where he thought the ring was lost (spot- on for the area I’d searched!) and expressed his disappointment about losing the ring and his feeling that it was lost cause that it could ever be found.  We finally got to talking about the ring itself and I asked him to describe it to me.  As he finished his description I palmed the ring from my pocket, opened my hand, and asked, « does it look something like this? »  Needless to say, that next moment is always one of the BEST that one can possibly experience in life – the surprise, disbelief and joy of the recipient, together with the surge of happiness I feel, knowing that I’ve been able to make that happen.

Well, to make a long story short, I took a few pictures to go with this little story and we continued some conversation about life in general, and grandchildren in particular.  It was a beautiful day.

Lost White Gold Wedding Band at Queen’s Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a text from Jason from Houston, Texas  who was spending his honeymoon in Waikiki with his lovely wife Diana.  While the newlyweds were enjoying a Waikiki sunset and after entering the water Jason realized his white gold wedding band had fallen off his finger.  He hadn’t moved around too much and had the exact location pinpointed so I agreed to meet them first light and see if we could find his ring.  We met on Queen’s Beach at 6:30 and Jason went over the location to hunt.  I did the topside dry sand and down the wet slope a ways but the ring never showed.  I realized I was going to have to enter the water.  It was high tide and the water was going way up the slope and I wasn’t looking forward to the fight.  Thankfully, no good targets in the water and on the third leg going up the wet slope I got a loud 34-46 tone on the Manticore and one scoop later there was Jason’s ring.  The honeymooners were obviously over the moon with excitement with the quick recovery.  A few hugs and handshakes and now they can enjoy their honeymoon with out having a lost wedding ring hanging over them.  While waiting for them, I found a black silicone band I gave to Jason so it could help hold his band in place.  Aloha to Jason & Diana!

Sterling Silver and Turquoise Ring Lost in the Old Orchard Beach sand, Found With a Metal Detector

Recovery and Return #76, for The Ring Finders of Maine

As my wife and I were on a 13 mile bike ride, I saw I had a Facebook PM, from an hour earlier, from Jessie. It said
“Hi!! My bf lost a ring in the residential area of Old Orchard Beach, Maine (near puffin st). Could you help us located it please? It’s circled in Red”.
I asked her a few questions about the location of where the ring was lost and she replied,
“The ring was lost very close to the house (Puffin St) on the beach. Right near the walkway to the road”.
Jessie then told me she was at work and her boyfriend, Matt would be calling me with more information. Matt call a few minutes later and told me that the ring would be in front of his Uncles house, on Puffin St, just 10 to 20 yards, out on the beach, going towards the water. The previous day, Sunday, September 15th, Matt and his cousins were throwing a football around, on the beach and Matt felt the ring come off, after throwing the football . Everyone in the group searched, for the ring, but it was already under the sand and out of sight.
Matt then sent me a photo of the ring and a photo, with a circled area, in which Matt was confident the ring would be in. Matt wasn’t sure just how far the ring flew off his finger, but was sure, it would be in the circle. Matt asked me if I could get down there in the next two or three days and search for his ring, he would appreciate it. I told Matt that I wasn’t waiting and would be searching, within a 1/2 hour, after finishing talking with him. A ring lost on the beach, should be searched for asap and as it was now, a full day has passed. If the beach cleaning machine had cleaned the beach already, the ring was probably lost forever. Another possibility is that another metal detectorist may have found it already. I just needed to get there asap and search.
When I arrived at the location, I saw that the beach had not been cleaned, by the beach rake. That was a huge relief. I decided to start at mid beach and grid the area, south to north , working my way towards the house. This was decided as I was communicating with Matt. I was on the beach and sending Matt photos, of the area, to try and verify the area, as best as we could. Once Matt told me

“That’s the house and spot, though it won’t be far from that location. Perfect!!! It would be closer to the houses, than the water, but that should do the trick”.

Now with the location verified, I started the grid search. I was finding very few targets as I was going along. A few pull tabs, a piece of foil and 1 quarter. The beach was very clean. After 35-40 minutes of searching and as I worked my was towards the houses, I finally received a really good target, right in the area, Matt had been throwing the football around. A very loud high tone and a 12-45/46 on my Minelab CDX-3030 VDI screen. Absolutely in the Sterling Silver range or possibly another quarter. I pulled my pinpointer out and stuck it into the sand. As I was moving it back and forth, Matt’s Sterling Silver ring with a blue and a white turquoise stone popped up and became visible to me. I didn’t even need to dig it, as it was barely under the surface. Wow, I knew Matt would be extremely happy and I sent him a text saying, “How does it feel”? Matt replied “Pardon”? I then sent Matt a photo of his ring, still in the sand, exactly as I found it, with the pinpointer. Matt then replied

“OMG! You’re incredible!!!!!. My deepest and endless thanks my friend. WOW! You’re a legend, for real”.
I sent back two laughing emojis 🤣😂

We then made plans to meet at my house, the next night, as Matt was going to be in Saco, Maine anyways. When Matt did arrive he was so polite and thankful and to,d me the ring was very special because it was a gift, from his girlfriend, Jessie. I am just so happy to have been able to help him, in his time of need. Being retired gives me the flexibility to leave anytime and search. I was afraid of the beach rake getting the ring but it all worked out and Matt now has the ring back on his finger and a smile, ear to ear.

LOST A RING?

DON’T WAIT TO CALL

215-850-0188

Michael found me on Facebook through several recommendations to my Ring Finders South Jersey page. His daughter and friend had lost some jewelry on the beach in Ocean City, NJ. They were enjoying the day when they placed a promise ring, earrings, a class ring, and a necklace in the cup holder for safekeeping. While they swam in the ocean, they forgot that the jewelry was there and it fell out when they folded up the chair to leave. After realizing the jewelry was missing, they went back and found some of it, but couldn’t find the others. Thirty minutes later, I met Catherine and Erin on the beach in the general area and began a quick search with my metal detector. I found one earring, then another. One more sweep and then I found the promise ring! A happy ending in Ocean City, NJ!

Metal detector service to help find lost rings in Del Mar San Diego

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)
Contact:

 

 

   The Ring Finders San Diego Metal Detector service is here to help you find your lost buried treasures. Call or text Curtis Cox @ 760 889 2751.

 Del Mar California is where the Turf meets the surf they say. One day recently this summer Justin was showing son how to boogie board in the shoreline where suddenly his wedding ring slipped off to meet the surf,,,Oh No!!!

 What does one do now?? This special ring that he’s had for over ten years just disappeared into the shallow Pacific Ocean!   Being optimistic with some hope left he went online & found my contact info.  From there we spoke via text with details of location including reward offered if I could find it.

 After a vigorous 3-4hrs in the middle of the night during king low tide with out any luck, I let Justin know I’m planning to head back that same day hoping he can meet up as I could be off a bit in the area it was lost. After searching & searching again with the same bad luck,,I headed back to my truck like a skunk with my head down then suddenly there’s Jason!  It was good to see him especially after he confirmed I was just too North of the main boogie board spot.

  The hunt was on again,,After another 15-20min I got a perfect signal on my Water proof advanced pulse induction metal detector that indicated to me the possible presence of a Ring.

 This was tough though as I was waist-chest deep waiting on the waves to calm down before scooping it up.  I managed to accurately get it with one quick shovel scoop before the next wave…Patiently I waited the surf again to see what was inside…Low & behold it was Justin’s precious platinum wedding ring!

  Justin was extremely relieved once I got him & the Ring safely ashore as you can see in the photo. This ring meant the world to him and now he’s got it back. “Who ya gonna call?”. 760 889 2751

Lost and found Rolex watch in Rideau river Ottawa

  • from Cobourg (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

Today was a very special recovery and a four weeks in the making. Chris was swimming in the Rideau river. As he slowly let himself go from the ladder off the back deck, the clasp of his heirloom Rolex watch came undone and watched in horror as the watch slip off his hand and sank into the water. This special watch was purchased by his mom, and given to his dad to celebrate his retirement after 33 years of loyal service with the Canadian Navy. It was given to Chris when his father passed. After having Scuba divers try to find the watch, on three separate occasions and some with underwater metal detectors, he started to loose hope of ever seing his watch again. Fortunately, he was able to put me within a twenty foot radius of where he believed the watch had fallen into the water. Unfortunately, had to deal with about five inches of silt which brings visibility to zero once you start swinging your coil. But, after finding multiple various metal items, I was finally able to feel the watch with my fingers under the coil of my detector. After surfacing, I was able to give Chris his father’s watch and get it back on his wrist. He was extremely happy and emotional and was a great moment for all. Another happy and special recovery. Life is good!
