Lost White Gold with Solitaire Diamond Wedding Ring at Hale Koa Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began on Thursday, 10 October when I got a text from Andrea who was on vacation from Clive, Iowa and staying with her husband at the Hale Koa.  They were flying out the next day, right at the low tide, when I intended to hunt as they had been in the water and weren’t actually sure when the ring came off.  It was going to be a mail back ring scenario.  When I arrived at low tide I searched the dry sand area where they had been relaxing on beach chairs.  No luck.  Andrea mentioned they had only gone out to about waist deep water and had been thrown around by the waves and rolled around a bit.  I started on the upper slope going down into the water out to at least chest deep to be sure I covered the area well.  I just hunted this area the weekend before so it was sterile.  Then on the 4th leg of the grid going up the wet sand slope I got a nice loud tone and in one scoop there was Andrea’s gorgeous ring in the scoop.  A rather large 1.5 carat diamond was my guess.  I immediately texted her the great news but the flight had already departed.  I got a text at 1:10 AM asking, Any luck? then, « No way!  Woah!  Amazing! Ya! When it’s morning give me a call. »  I mailed the ring back and you can see in the pic above Andrea and her husband have smiles of joy back in Iowa!  Much Aloha to Andrea & her husband!

Lost – Ladies Heirloom Platinum Wedding Ring, Orlando, Fl – FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I contacted Susan about a call about a lost platinum ring.  She said she had lost it a week ago Monday, when staying at a friend’s home in Orlando, during the hurricane.  Since we both live in New Smyrna we decided to ride over together.  On the trip she told me that it was the only item that she has from her grandmother, which made it very dear.

When we arrived, I noticed a boxwood shrub circling the drive.  This is where Susan said the ring was lost as she unloaded her car.  The shrub was about 18 inches high with red rock in front and behind with other rows of higher shrubs behind that.

I spent the next two hours going over the hedge with my Manticore with the small head.  I also covered in front and behind the hedge in the red rocks.  There were lots of targets, but they were deep and not likely the ring.  After a few hours I told Susan that I had covered everything I could think of, and we went home.  Susan was devastated and said at least the ring had a gorgeous place to rest.

The next day I had an appointment to find another ring only 2.5 miles from Susan’s ring.  I found it fast and texted the friend of Susan, to see if I could try again.  I prayed on my way.  I thought of an unconventional way to detect the short shrubs…It worked!  I got a low but solid signal.  Digging past the green, deep into the dead sticks and leaves with my pinpointer, it sounded off.  Nestled in the leaves and sticks was the ring with its brilliant platinum shine!

I text Susan a picture of the ring and she called me.  She was beyond excited.  When I took the ring to my home, I found the engraving L. N. to A. R. S.  9/15/20…the ring was over 100 years old!  Susan came to get the ring the next day…many tears of joy!

I’d like to thank my good friend and Christian brother for trusting me with this call while he was out of town.

Lost – Men’s Black Tungsten Wedding Band, Orlando, Fl – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Hurricane Milton ravaged Central Florida, coming in on the west coast and continuing across the state with torrential rain and destructive winds.  Don was out in his back yard cleaning up debris.  As he shook his hand after picking up leaves and muck, he felt his ring fly.

He looked and looked but knew with all the downed limbs and leaves…he needed help to find his wedding ring.  He found theringfinders.com com and gave them a call.  When I first contacted Don, I was out of town but arranged to meet him on Monday.

When I arrived at the Orlando home, Don led me to the back of his property, behind the pool and in a very dense part the yard with all types of tropical plants.  He explained how he lost the ring and had looked extensively.

I grabbed my Minelab Maticore with the small coil and headed for the back.  As I approached the area, I started getting hits from targets.  Sometimes back yards can be tough.  But as I got to the area, he lost the ring.  There was only one large, clear hit.   I dug through the sticks and leaves, and the ring popped out near the sand on the bottom of the pile.

It turned out to be a very short hunt and Don was elated to have his wedding ring back.  Another theringfinder.com happy customer.

Wedding band recovered at Asbury Park Beach

Contact:

I got a text from Raymond asking for help in locating his wedding band he lost in the surf at Asbury Park that day. I told him i’d meet him the next day at low tide to see what i could do for him. I went down and met his friend who was there with him and he showed me the area they were in the water. Raymond was with his 4 year old daughter just passed the waters edge when she fell and reaching down to grab her his left arm flew back and his ring went flying off his hand into the surf. After a bit Raymond showed up to see how things were going. I searched for about a half hour with no luck. I went up and was talking to Raymond who said he thinks he might of been alittle further to the left of where i was hunting because there was a deep drop off and he remembered thinking he hoped the ring didnt go into the deeper drop off. He pointed where he though he was and after walking into the water about 6 feet i got a perfect ring signal on the detector, and sure enough after a quick scoop of sand there was his ring in the scoop. Neither one of us could believe it. Im so glad he remembered and was able to get his ring back.

Lost Platinum Engagement Ring Found in Corn Pit in Wooster, Ohio!

  • from Wooster (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

Halloween high jinks were in full swing this past weekend in Wooster, Ohio! Kim was enjoying an unseasonably warm fall day with her family at Ramseyer Farms. The day was full of fun and treats, but Kim ended up being on the receiving end of a trick! The culprit? Corn! That’s right, not a person, it was corn…and lots of it! Kim was playing with her 2-year-old daughter in the Corn Barn (a giant corn pit, in a barn) when it happened. (For those who don’t know, a corn pit is like a sand box, except it’s filled with corn kernels!) Anyway, she was crawling through the corn towards her daughter when she felt that unmistakable feeling of a ring slipping off her finger! She immediately started foraging through the corn, but couldn’t find her platinum engagement ring! She continued searching for a while and her dad even went and purchased a metal detector to aid in the search! After a while she decided to search the internet where she found The Ringfinder’s website, which led her to me. I received the call at 5:13 pm yesterday evening. Kim explained what had happened and asked if I would be able to come out and assist. She said the staff at Ramseyer Farms was aware of the situation and that they would keep the lights on and the barn open after hours to allow us to search. The farm was closing at 7pm, so Tammy (my metal detecting partner) and I arrived at the farm around 6:50 pm and met Kim at the main entrance. We made our way back to the corn barn as she filled us in on a few more details about the event. When we got to the barn, we took off our shoes and followed Kim into the corn. She told us about where she was and what direction she was heading when she lost her ring and we got to work! We started out using our pinpointers in the general area she had been and then I decided to do a little bit bigger sweep with my detector just in case it was no longer in the same spot, as the corn barn is a huge attraction at Ramseyer Farms and, as such, it is always packed with kids scooping, digging, rummaging, running and rolling through the corn! While I swept the area, Tammy kept following Kim’s path through the corn with her pinpointer. About forty-five minutes into the search, Tammy had a hit about 6-8 inches deep in the corn, right along Kim’s path. She slowly started sweeping corn away as she worked her way down, keeping her pinpointer on the signal. And then I heard Kim gasp! She had been watching Tammy and noticed the glint right away as Tammy plucked the ring from the corn! Tammy handed the ring to a super excited Kim, we took a few photos and then we all made our way out of the corn. The staff at Ramseyer Farms was wonderful! They were super friendly and accommodating as we searched and celebrated the find, right along with us! What an adventure! Kim got her ring back, Kim’s dad found a new hobby and we got to play in the corn! All in all, a great evening! We’re so glad we were able to turn Kim’s trick into a treat! Just remember, if you visit a corn pit – don’t forget to take off your jewelry! But, if you do forget and lose something, give us a call!

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

loaded canoe

Tina contacted me after losing a very important iphone 15 pro max cell phone when her canoe dumped in the waves, in Canoe Lake. As I am always up for the adventure I said yes! It was a bit of work as I had to bring my canoe & load it with my gear.

Found IT!

happy crowd!

After we paddled to the search location, Tina directed me to the search area AND I found the phone in  5 minutes! It was on the bottom in about 4′ of water. She was SO happy tears streamed down her face. I told her to store it in a container of rice overnight to remove additional moisture. She accidentally turned it on AND it worked after being in the water for 1 week.

Another Successful Find & Very happy customer.
