Lost gold ring in water, Withlacoochee River, Hernando County Florida…found by Florida Ring Finder!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Bennie and his friends were enjoying the day along the Withlacoochee River swimming and taking turns swinging on a rope over the water. As Bennie let go of the rope he felt his gold ring come off of his finger and a sick feeling came over him. This was a very special ring given to him by his father 5 years ago and he has treasured it ever since. And now it had fallen into the depths of the silty river bottom! He and his friends tried diving down and feeling with their hands but the 8 foot depth and uneven bottom was more of a challenge than they could endure. Bennie called his mother and told her what happened and she went online and found Mr. Steve Thomas who is one of the Ring Finders in the West Florida area but unfortunately he only does shallow water and land searches so he recommended they call me to see if I could help them. After hearing their story I decided to meet them at the sight the following day. It was a 2 hour drive but we finally arrived and began setting up my PVC grid, my BLU3 Nemo dive system, mask, wet suit and fins. Bennie was very sure of where he and his ring fell into the water so down I went and began searching along my PVC grid that was setting on the bottom. The first 2 signals were deeper in the sand so I left them and the 3rd signal was louder on my hand held Pulse Dive unit and there sitting on top of the sandy bottom was Bennie’s lost gold ring! I really wanted to continue searching for other targets as the rope swing area was a favorite for the locals but I had noticed just before my entering the water that there was a group of people just waiting for me to finish up so they could enjoy jumping off of the tree and swinging on the rope…so I slowly ascended with Bennie’s gold ring tucked safely in my finds pouch. Bennie was intently watching me as I swam up to shore and as I smiled and gestured with a thumbs up…he began grinning from ear to ear! What a thrill it is to be able to conduct a search, find the lost item and then to return it to someone that is hurting and feeling a great heaviness and loss! And then to experience seeing them transform to happiness and joy and see more tears…only these are tears of sheer relief and thankfulness!

I always pray and ask God to help me be a blessing to each person that calls me for my assistance. How can I help you today? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk! 321-363-6029

Avalon NJ Lost Ring Found by Ring Finders South Jersey

Lost A Ring in

Avalon, New Jersey? Don’t Wait!

CALL JOHN 

215-850-0188

Earlier this week, I received a call from Michelle about a lost silver and gold ring in Avalon, NJ. Jane was enjoying a beautiful late afternoon with friends when a fun moment turned into a sudden panic.

 

While standing near the water’s edge, Jane was tossing clam shells into the ocean when she felt her precious silver and gold ring slip right off her finger. It was one of those slow-motion moments where you realize too late that something valuable is gone. Her heart sank as quickly as the ring did.

 

Thinking fast, Jane marked the area where the ring was lost by writing the word “HELP” in large letters in the sand. Smart move! This helped locate the spot with the metal detector a short time later.

 

Michelle and Jane were at beach, and she pointed out the area near the surf. We only had a short window of time before the incoming tide would wash away the sand and make the search more difficult, scanning the area with the metal detector.

 

After just a few passes, there was a strong signal. Digging carefully, scooped into the wet sand and there it was Jane’s silver and gold ring, safely recovered!

 

The look of relief and happiness on her face said it all. This ring wasn’t just jewelry—it held personal meaning and memories. Being able to return it was an absolute joy.

 

Another successful recovery at the Jersey Shore! If you ever find yourself in a similar situation—whether in Avalon or anywhere from Brigantine to Cape May—don’t panic. Reach out right away. Quick action makes all the difference, and we are  happy to help!

Wedding and Engagement Rings Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Sunset Beach NC

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

Shortly before 5 p.m. I received a call from Wendy saying she had lost her rings on the beach. She said I had been recommended and was wondering if I was available. At the time I was waiting on a contractor that was running late. I called the contractor and rescheduled for the next day. I didn’t want Wendy’s rings to sit out on the beach to long, especially on Sunset Beach. I called Wendy back and asked for her address for parking and told her I was on my way.

It was about a 30-minute drive, and I text her when I arrived in the driveway. When she came out of the house, we introduced ourselves and she led the way out to the beach. I got to meet her husband, John who had been guarding their suspected spot in the sand. She described her ring set, that wasn’t actually a set, but the two rings were soldered together. I turned on my machine and started an east/west grid search and covered the area John had marked off. I wasn’t getting any signals, so I kept the grid search going. After a few more lines, I got a solid 15-16 on the VDI (visual display indicator) and knew I had something. I took a scoop of sand and gently shook out the sand. John and I heard the clanking of metal in the scoop. Wendy had moved down the beach a little to talk to another couple and missed me taking the ring out and holding it up. John called out “He found it” and she immediately made her way back to me. I handed her the ring, and to say she was thrilled would be an understatement. We took a few pictures, and I got a hug from Wendy. I love helping people find their lost treasures.

Wendy and John – Thank you for trusting and allowing me to help find your treasure. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a safe trip back home to Ohio.

Jim.

4-Day-Old Wedding Ring Recovered and Returned, Trunk River Beach Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from West Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

4 July 2025.  Jeffrey and Jocelyn had been married only 4 days when Jeffrey’s wedding band slipped into the ocean as he was scrubbing poison ivy from his fingers.  Fortunately Anthony and Anishaa, a couple for whom I recovered a ring last August at the same beach, were nearby and they heard his plight and told him to call me.  I was just returning from another call but was able to meet Jeffrey at the beach a short time later.  He was quite specific about where and how he lost his ring, so the search was straightforward and I made the recovery within a few minutes from cobbles and gravel in knee-deep water.  There were cheers all up and down the beach, and needless to say a huge smile from Jeffrey.  Anthony and Anishaa came over and we all had a mini-celebration/reunion.  It was great to experience this serendipitous circumstance where one Ringfinder success led to another almost a year later!

My immediately prior call was to find joined wedding/engagement rings thought to be lost in a 10′ x 10′ area of dry sand at a different beach.  I made a thorough search of the area as well as a wide, surrounding area with no result.  I explained that the ring must have come off somewhere else, perhaps in a bag or at another location before they arrived at the beach, even though the owner was certain that the beach location was correct.  As it turned out, they called later to let me know that they found the rings in front of their beach house where the owner had been putting on sunscreen.  The moral of the story: Memory can be tricky, so be sure to check out other possibilities, no matter how unlikely they may seem!

Jeffrey’s ‘4-day-old’ wedding ring.

 

Ring and recent groom reunited.

 

A happy couple, Jeffrey and his bride Jocelyn.

 

Jocelyn, Jeffrey, and Ringfinder ‘alums’ Anishaa and Anthony with me in a little celebration.

Gold Bracelet with Diamonds Found In Ada, Michigan.

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:
Megan was out stringing wire for her new berry patch when the wire caught on her bracelet and it went flying. She spent a few days searching for the bracelet down on her hands and knees, buying a cheap detector and using a flashlight at night to try and see the diamonds. No luck finding it.
She showed me where she was standing when it happened and I started a grid of the area. In a few minutes I see it laying flat on the ground in full view. I believe it had been hiding upside down with the diamonds on the bottom and it looked just like the brown grass with the points sticking straight up. By us walking thru the area we knocked it down flat on the ground and easy to see. Megan was thrilled to have it back again.

Lost Platinum 2-Piece Mountain Ring Found And Quickly Returned – Pine Knoll Shores

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

CRYSTAL COAST RING FINDERS:
Alex called to ask for assistance to locate Allison’s ring that was dropped on the beach.
The couple was attending a reunion of family members from various states. Allison was showing her grandmother the unique 2-piece ring when it was dropped and buried into the sand. Upon arrival, and between bursts of rain, I noticed they had marked a very small search area and with 4-5 swings of my detector coil I hit a very solid signal. I told them before uncovering the ring « I think this is it ». Using my pinpointer to find the exact location, I pulled up a handful of sand with Allison’s platinum ring. They were all heading back home the following day.
