Del Monte Beach Ring found / recovery

  • from Monterey (California, United States)
Contact:

A nice fellow and his wife were vacationing here in Monterey, for his wife’s birthday weekend.   The fellow went down to the water’s edge at Del Monte Beach, to wash off his kid’s sandy hands , in the ebbing surf.  To rinse off his kids’ hands.   As he did so, his ring slips off into the cold surf.   But he was momentarily unaware of this.   Then he went up to where the tidal zone meets the dry sand, and began to shake the water drops/sand off his own hands.   And it was at that point he realized his ring was gone.   He figured it must have « flung » when he’d made motions with his arms there.

 

I got the call and met him within 15 minutes on the beach.  He showed me the suspected zone.   But alas, nothing there.   Then he casually mentioned how he’d been at the water’s edge for a brief moment with his kid.   So we gave it a try further down there, and presto :  There was the ring.  Buried in the sand closer down towards the water.

 

Glad I could help.   Thanx for the tip .

Dropped Key In Cape Carteret Waters Keeps Kyle’s Truck Parked Until Found

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Kyle called me up to see if I could retrieve keys from the boat dock. He had dropped his keys close to where the boat was moored, and since he was nearby, I rushed over to help. The water was 3-4 feet deep and got deeper gradually. My magnet didn’t work, so I dived into the soft seabed and found the keys with my metal detector. Sadly, my long-handled scoop was useless against the muddy bottom littered with oyster shells and twigs. I then used my Garrett pinpointer, took a deep breath, and dove where the detector had signaled. With a clear tone, I scooped up the muck and found Kyle’s keys. He opted out of a photo op and removed the truck key from the set for a picture. The boat in the photo is where we lost and recovered the keys.

Lost – Lady’s Custom Diamond Wedding Set, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

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

Late Friday evening, I received a text from Lindsay, who said she had lost her wedding ring at New Smyrna Beach. She and her family had spent the day there, and she had placed her ring in the pocket of her shorts. Shortly after, she realized it was missing—it could have been on the beach or in the water.  I replied to her text and told her to call me with the details anytime.

Early the next morning, I arrived at daybreak, just after low tide.  As I made my way to the beach, a lady noticed my equipment and cheerfully said, “Happy treasure hunting!” I replied, “I’m actually searching for something someone lost.” She responded kindly, “Then I’ll say a prayer to St. Anthony.” I thanked her and got to work.

Lindsay had sent pictures to help pinpoint the area. I quickly covered all the dry sand and the area leading down to the water. As the tide started to rise and the surf grew more active, I decided to come back at the next low tide, this time with my friend, Brian.

When we returned, a massive storm had just passed. We wasted no time getting back to the search. Brian used his XP Deus 2, while I had my Minelab Manticore. We methodically swept the same area I had focused on earlier. As the storm intensified and lightning flashed around us, I headed north. Just then, Brian, with a hopeful tone, said, “Ok, St. Anthony, what do you have for me?”

Almost immediately, he got a hit—it was the ring! I quickly texted Lindsay pictures of the find and followed up with a call. Her joyous shouts echoed through the phone. Soon after, the beautiful ring was back in her hands, where it belonged

Rings lost at Breakers Beach on Coronado found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Thais, took off both of her rings and put them in a shoe before going out in the water. Good idea! Forgetting that they were in the shoe when leaving, not so good. As you might expect, the shoes were picked up by her spouse Syd and the rings ended up falling out and into the soft dry sand. What to do….leaving at 6am the next morning just 13 hours from then…..so, off to the internet for advice. TheRingFinders.com website to the rescue. I got the call from Syd about 4:30pm about a lost « ring », grabbed my gear, and hit the rush hour traffic to the North Island Navy Base visitors parking to meet her. We then drove to the beach and walked a couple hundred yards to a distraught Thais guarding the likely drop zone. A couple of short passes later, I got a nice solid 8 on my Equinox 900. Not knowing at the time that more than one ring was lost, I said that this could be the ring, or, some foil. A probe with the pin pointer, and grab with my hand brought a beautiful wedding band out into the sunshine. I thought we were done….not. a second sweep just a foot away and I got a solid 13. I then popped out the even more beautiful engagement ring to Thais’s delight. I asked if there were more and was told no, that was it. They could now sleep easier that night and catch their plane in the morning without having to leave anything behind. A pleasure to meet you both, and thank you for the reward.

This morning, I got a call from Lauren, a Chicago visitor who’d been enjoying Broad Beach in Malibu with her family the day before. To protect her wedding ring while swimming, she’d placed it in the cupholder of a beach chair. But when the chair was moved, the ring flew into the sand.

Contact:

Jersey shore ring finder ring finder south jersey On a nice hot day Anton and his family were enjoying the day on at beach. This can be some of the most sought after relaxation one could ask for after a long day at work. And while people are on the beach there are many things they will do like , swimming, running, relaxing, picnicking, throwing footballs, volley ball, wrestling, etc. OH NO did I say wrestling ? That’s when things went wrong for Anton. In one of the 3 areas he was wrestling around that day his cherished cross was pulled from his necklace and lost in the sand.  They searched for a few hours, even with their metal detector, without any luck. That’s when Nicole decided to give me a call to see if I was available to locate the cross. I met them on the beach a little while later and they showed me everything that transpired up to realizing the cross was missing. I started in the most likely spot and within a few moments I had his cross in my scoop. Another fantastic ending to a great day on the Jersey Shore.

Lost gold wedding ring recovered, Wall Lake, Orland Indiana

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

While searching for another lost gold ring for a guy, a neighbor lady mentioned that her husband had lost his gold wedding ring a couple years ago, out from their pier, while handing items from boat to boat. She said divers had searched for the ring, but no luck, it’s very weedy and a muck bottom area.
After findng many pull rings, lead sinkers, beer cans, foil balls and fishing lures, I got a clean sounding target that was also quite a trick to scoop up, due to the thick snaggy weeds. After about 5 tries, the target sound was no more, so I checked the scoop and long behold, a nice thick men’s gold band was in there.
Trudged over and let the lady know I had likely found her husband’s lost ring. Handed it over and sure enough, that was it and they were shocked that I had found it.

Lost gold wedding ring recovered, Wall Lake, Orland Indiana

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Jude contacted me after losing his gold wedding ring that he’s been wearing for 37 years. He was visiting family at their lake cottage and playing volleyball in the water. Upon hitting the ball, his wedding band went missing. He thought it had fallen down near where he was standing. He contacted me, we made the arrangements for the search promptly.
The depth was from waist to chest deep, some weedy areas and the bottom had a thin layer of muck that clouds up quickly.
Searched and searched, round and round, trudged through the weeds, to no avail. I was sure the ring had went flying elsewhere, but Jude was confident it was near where he stood. I tried to expand my search zone, but it didn’t seem like that went over too well, so I kept over on the area he was thinking. AFter a long while, maybe a couple hours, I called it off and mentioned I’d maybe try again when I get by the area, so I could search further out, etc. He said that’d be no problem and I was on my way home to go to work soon after.
Decided to do some tests the next day. Went through the motions of hitting a volleyball, had a ring with some colored string tied to it, and measured the distance in paces. An average distance of 13-20 of my 3ft paces was constant.
Return trip, brought a hunting buddy and we started searching. AFter doing battle with more weeds, many other metallic targets, I moved into more shallow water and got a solid signal, about 18 paces from where Jude was when he lost the ring.
Bingo, potentially his ring, a nice gold band in the scoop with writing and some fancy on the outer part. But, another guy said he had lost a gold band there 20 years ago, so had to confirm with Jude if it was or wasn’t his. Thankfully upon texting, it was quickly confirmed, that « Lindy » was part of the inner engravings. Mission accomplished. Next-Day shipped it back to him in NC.

3 Lost Gold rings Recovered from the water, Lake Maxinkuckee, Culver, Indiana

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:



Betsie messaged me late last night in regards to her 3 lost rings. She was playing catch with her son in the water, it was almost dark out. She said that as she was catching the football, she realized her rings had fallen off, in chest deep water. Her and her son frantically searched for the rings, with no luck finding any. She mentioned her son felt guilty, because they were playing catch and she had lost them doing so. Which made finding them even more important to me.
We made arrangements, although I had to work until 6am, I agreed to meet her at the location as early as I was able to. She showed me where they thought they were and I began searching. This spot is mostly target free, as it gets detected often, which was a concern, that someone else may get to them first.
After seraching the zone for like 20 minutes and seeing some craters, I was worried that maybe someone else had got them. I moved shallower than she described, did a pass and got a nice signal. ALso, had another signal near that, so likely it was the culprits. Gazing down at my search coil, I could see the edge of a ring, so I plucked that one with the scoop, then scooped the other. The second scoop was the main wedding ring, thankfully. Two down, one to go. Got another target signal just a foot away and scooped the wedding band ring also. The 3 rings all nice and close together made for a simple triple recovery today. She was thrilled and her husband likely was too.
