Yellow Gold Loop Earring Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Monday, August 24, 2026, I received a voice mail saying in part, “Candy, lost a ring on North Myrtle Beach. Give me a call back and I just wanted to discuss fees.” When I called her back, she told me that a yellow gold loop earring had been lost in the dry sand and asked what I charge. I explained the details on cost, and she asked if I could come. I told her I’d be there in 20 minutes, grabbed my Equinox 800 and hit the road.

I called Candy as I was walking out on the beach and she waved me down. I found out that Becky had her earring fall out of her ear and she showed me a 2’X2’ square where the ring should be. I asked Becky for the other earring so I could test it. After switching to ‘all metal’ mode, I got a loud and clear signal. I asked Becky and the 3 other ladies to move their chairs. As Becky picked up her chair, I swung the coil over the area and Boom! I had her earring in my hand before she set the chair down. Becky was extremely happy as this was a past anniversary present, and tomorrow just happens to be her anniversary.

Becky and Candy – thank you for calling and trusting me to find your lost treasure.

North Wildwood NJ Lost Sentimental Necklace Recovered by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)

Mother’s Ashes Necklace Found on North Wildwood Beach

Losing jewelry can be heartbreaking.

Losing a necklace containing your mother’s ashes is something much deeper.

That is exactly what happened to Tiffany while visiting North Wildwood, New Jersey.

A Necklace With Priceless Meaning

Tiffany realized that her necklace was missing from the beach.

This wasn’t an ordinary piece of jewelry.

The necklace contained her mother’s ashes.

Finding it was extremely important to Tiffany and her family.

She searched the area but could not locate the necklace.

Eventually, she contacted Ring Finders South Jersey for help.

Ring Finders South Jersey Responds

John Favano of Ring Finders South Jersey responded to Tiffany’s request.

John specializes in finding lost jewelry and other valuables.

He uses professional metal detecting equipment and careful search techniques.

The search began by identifying the most likely area.

John then worked the beach systematically.

A methodical search can make a major difference when jewelry is lost in sand.

The Signal

After carefully searching the area, the detector produced a promising signal.

John investigated the target beneath the sand.

There it was.

Tiffany’s necklace had been recovered.

The necklace containing her mother’s ashes was safely back in her hands.

For Tiffany, this recovery meant much more than finding jewelry.

It meant getting back a precious connection to her mother.

Some Recoveries Are Priceless

Every lost item has a story.

Some items have tremendous sentimental value.

A necklace containing a loved one’s ashes is impossible to replace.

That is why acting quickly after losing something valuable is important.

Do not assume that your lost jewelry is gone forever.

Sand can hide rings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and other valuables.

A professional metal detectorist may be able to locate what you cannot see.

Dorchester Gold Wedding Ring Found

  • from London (Ontario, Canada)

While cutting the grass, this Dorchester man’s wedding ring slipped off his finger and into the grass. After searching for some time he looked up the ring finders and contacted me! Another great find!

Seaside beach, California

  • from Monterey (California, United States)

« Crystal » was here at Seaside beach , near Monterey, yesterday.   When putting on suntan lotion, she had taken off her wedding ring.   Then made movements around her beach tent zone before she went to put it back on.   And so the ring was somewhere around her tent, obscured from view by the swallowing power of the sand.   White gold with diamonds, that she’d worn for 17 yrs.

 

Glad I could help !   Thanx for the tip. 

 

And she’s just now sent her own very kind  play-by-play, here it is, cut & pasted :

 

 

« …  5/5 Stars – Highly Recommend Tom Tanner!
My family and I spent the day at Sand City near the sand dunes on West Bay Street. I took my wedding ring off and placed it on my lap to apply sunscreen. When I stood up, I didn’t realize it had fallen off into the sand. Once I noticed, panic set in! We searched all over the area where I had been sitting, but we couldn’t find a trace of it.
Just as we were about to give up hope, my husband searched Google for local ring finders, and The RingFinders by Tom Tanner popped up. We gave him a call, and he arrived in under 40 minutes. Believe it or not, he located my 2-carat platinum ring in no time!
Tom has over 40 years of experience, and it clearly shows—he really knows what he’s doing and completely saved the day. I would give him more than five stars if I could. Thank you so much, Tom! The Ring Finders service was absolutely amazing!

LOST TRI-GOLD WEDDING RING AT WHISPERING PINES, NC…..FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I received a referral from The Dive Guys (Alex Cogley-thanks again!) about someone needing a gold ring found over at Whispering Pines!

He got me in contact with Tiz Jefferson and she informed me her husband had lost his tri-gold wedding ring about 6-8 weeks ago while keep an eye out for about 7 kids in a swimming area. He felt it slide off and was like OH NO! They even bought a metal detector and tried to retrieve it themselves.

I set up a date and time with her for today at 5:30. I got to the site at about 5. After scanning the main area for almost an hour with no luck, I decided to expand my search area and I went deeper and in mossy areas for the last 30 mins. Then I get a signal at about 7 feet deep and 2 feet of moss. As I followed my pin-pointer to the target, my finger slipped into a ring and I knew I had finally found his ring!!!

I popped up holding the the ring up high as I swam back to shallower water. At first they didn’t realize I had found the ring, until I removed my mouth believe and said “I found it”!!! They both were so excited and happy to have it back. Before 7pm he had his ring back on his finger!!

After taking my gear off and putting it away, we snapped some photos and Mrs. Jefferson snapped a bunch of me in action!

Thank you for contacting and allowing me to recover your lost ring! I love returning lost items and seeing the excitement and joy from owners as despair turns to relief!

Lost heirloom yellow gold chain in pond at Ft. Pierce Florida…Found and returned to owner!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



This lost gold chain recovery began when I received a call from Max asking me if I could help him find his very sentimental and cherished gold chain in a small pond. He explained how he was at a friends place and they all decided to jump off the end of a dock into 7 feet of water and Max figured he would do a back flip. Knowing that his gold chain was long enough to come off over his head he deliberately held his hand by the side of his head to sort of catch or stop the chain from coming off…but in this case it did not work. Max felt his chain come off and it caught on his little finger and disappeared into the water and sank into the silty bottom of the pond. He knew it had to be real close to where he jumped in and he decided to buy a cheap hand held metal detector/pinpointer and tried his best to locate his lost gold chain and after a few attempts he decided to look online for more help. A few days later I met Max and armed with my 6 inch hand held Nokta Pulse Dive Scuba Detector and handy Blu3 Nemo dive system I jumped into the water and began carefully searching the target area. I found a number of items like sissors, a BB gun pistol, a ratchet strap, etc…before my fingers wrapped around a chain like object and as I cleaned the silt away I could see Max’s lost gold chain! Again I was reminded just how good GOD is to give me the opportunity and know how to help people find their lost treasures! What a privilege and blessing…and Max was super thrilled to see his special heirloom gold chain…a gift that was given to him by his father 5 years ago and the one that he hopes to wear the rest of his life!

What have you lost? Call, text or message me and let’s talk!

Lost Key at Wreck Beach…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your- Ring/Keys/Cell Phone- Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7 service – Chris – 778-838-3463

I was on a search for Lost Ring when a young man saw me on the beach and walked up and asked if I could help him find his bike key that he’d  lost the night before. I explained that I was on a Ring search and that it was tied dependent so I had to keep searching for this Ring before the tide came in, but I assured him I would take a look after I was done my job. Well, unfortunately, I could not find his key there were people laying around the area and it was possible somebody could’ve been lying on it. So we exchange numbers and I told him I’d be back the next day to do another Ring search and I’ll take a look for his key.

I found it exactly where a young man was suntanning the day before. I love my job.!!!

Lost Keys & Cell Phone at Surrey Golf Course

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your- Ring/Cell Phone/Keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7 service – Chris 778-838-3463.

I received a call from a young man asking for help to find his keys and cell phone that he had lost at a golf course when the umbrella on his cart blew into the water where he lost his clubs, cell phone, and keys. This is really muddy water with zero visibility.  He was able to feel around and grab his clubs, but he couldn’t find his keys or cell phone.

I got my overalls from my storage compartment and went into the pond that was covered in green algae. This wasn’t easy because he had stepped on his phone and buried very deep. I was able to get a faint signal, but it took a long time to get the signal out of the mud, but I found his phone first and key shortly after, the search in total took me a couple of hours. I love my job!!!
