Lost Wedding Ring Caladesi Island, Dunedin, Fl….Found!!!

Jessica and her husband Javier were enjoying the day riding jet skis around Honeymoon and Caladesi Islands. They beached on the north end of Caladesi and while Javier was opening a compartment at the rear of his jet ski his beautiful 14k hammered gold wedding band slipped off of his finger into the Gulf of Mexico.

Jessica found me through a Google search and texted me the story including a photo of the ring and a general map of the loss area. Fortunately the ring was lost in only waist deep water an hour or two before low tide so I wanted to plan a search for the same tide time the next day. Initially, Jessica and Javier weren’t sure if they could return the next day but it was important that they be there to narrow down the search area so they were able to work it out.

To get to the loss location, I had to ride twenty minutes on a ferry from Honeymoon to Caladesi, walk about ten minutes from the ferry to the beach, and then walk about 1 1/2 miles to the north end of the island with my equipment. Jessica and Javier had arrived on a jet ski before I arrived but left to pick up an anchor at a nearby marina. They texted me to let me know to look for a green tracker boat and a green jet ski as markers for where the ring was lost if I wanted to begin the search before their return so I began my search in the water. After only about fifteen minutes of searching with my Nox 600 detector, I came across a strong signal with a 21 on the VDI. After several scoops into the mud I was able to bring up Javier’s ring! Jessica and Javier arrived about ten minutes later and I walked up to Javier and asked him if he was ready to begin the search. Before he could answer, I held up his ring and said “is this what I’m looking for?” I thought he was going to fall off the jet ski! Jessica said to him “ I told you we ought to try this before you bought a new one!” After talking for a few minutes and taking a few photos with Javier texting family and friends about the ring find, Jessica and Javier sped happily away.

Jessica and Javier, thank you for trusting me to find and return Javier’s wedding ring and thank you for the generous reward!

Surf City, NC: Lost Wedding Ring Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

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

Justin was spending time in the ocean along the Surf City beach and told me he noticed something in the sand.  The waves were rough that day and as he tried to grab the item, he felt his wedding ring slide off to be lost in the surf.  I attempted a recovery that same day against the rising tide and stronger waves but it wasn’t safe and my attempts were not productive.  I told Justin, I’d return the next day and try again.

The waves were rough and the wind was strong but not as bad as the previous day.  I completed many passes both in and out of the water with my CTX-3030 with only shreds of aluminum and 1 can pull-tab for my efforts.  I then started to go over the areas I missed in the water using my GPS map and in ankle deep water at low tide I received a faint signal.  After about 4 scoops into the surf, the signal was gone and I still didn’t know what I had removed.  I dumped the pile of sand and shells on the beach and used a pinpointed to find Justin’s ring hiding under the pile.  This beach was recently replenished with sand from a quarry and heavier items sink quickly in the surf.  I think after another high tide, I would not have been able to find his deeply buried ring.

LOST GOLD RING IN CARY, NC………… FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:
Met a guy that came to my house to inspect our Crawlspace and we got to talking about metal detecting after he saw my office.
He said an elderly lady had lost a ring in her yard while doing yard work (2 years prior) and wanted to reach out to her to see if she’d allow me to come and try and find it.
Well today was the day. I got off work and shot straight to her house and met Brian there too.
I walked back to the back yard with them, and it was very overgrown with ivy. She had a small area cleaned out and that was the area she had lost the ring.
I go to get my machine, turn it on and walk back to the area. I swing 4 swings LEFT RIGHT LEFT, RIGHT!!! Wait what was that to my RIGHT? VDI 64 first single BOOM found her ring! It wasn’t that deep at all!
She was beyond overjoyed and crying after I found it!

Sommers Point NJ Engagement Ring Found by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

Lost a ring?

Malynna and her friends stopped at The Point in Sommers Point, NJ while in town from LA. While at the beach bar, she felt her engagement ring slip off her finger and drop in the sand. She and her friends searched the area but couldn’t find it, so they called me to help. Time was of the essence because they were heading home to LA the next day. I met Malynna and her friends at the bar and came up with the plan. The search started by removing all the trash signals from the sand. I did this while trying to listen for the tone over the loud music. After I did an initial search, I went over the area again with the metal detector and was able to get the signal I was looking for. It was a relief felt by all to find the lost engagement ring. They were now able to return home to Los Angeles the next day on a happy note!

2-Year Miracle – Men’s Gold Wedding Ring Returned to Owner, Falmouth, MA

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Sometimes miracles do happen!  I was alerted by my daughter about a lost-ring post on the Fabulous Falmouth Facebook page.  Allie posted a picture of a wedding ring that her husband Michael lost 2 years ago on Woodneck Beach in Falmouth, in hopes that someone would find and return it.  The ring had been lost only a week after they were married.  Allie’s picture showed a fairly unique ring style that seemed familiar, so I looked through rings I’d recovered while metal detecting in the past and sure enough, the style, the place, and the date of loss all matched up with a ring I’d found.

Allie and I made contact and we agreed to meet at the beach in the evening so I could return the ring to Michael.  We met and enjoyed a great conversation and celebration – what a nice couple!  I learned that they had never replaced Michael’s ring, though they’d tried, because it just didn’t feel right.  So it was a real delight to be able to return the ring and see it on Michael’s finger where it belonged.  Michael said he will get the ring re-sized to assure that this saga will not be repeated.  Another success story for the Ring Finders, even though with a 2-year delay!

Allie & Michael. The ring is home after two years.

 

Michael’s wedding ring.

AMAZING…14K wedding band lost for 25 years…RECOVERED!!!

Bay Area Ring Finders: Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590 

Almost 25 years ago, a gentleman working in his yard in Oakland, CA lost his 14K yellow gold wedding band.  The family searched, but never recovered the ring.  In 2008 this same gentleman, a beloved father and husband, lost his life to cancer.  May he rest in peace!

Fast forward to July 2023, fellow ring finder and friend Jes Muse from THERINGFINDERS.COM requests that I cover a call out she had received.  Jes is recovering from a recent surgery and I wish her a successful and speedy recovery.  She sent all the pertinent information for me to reach out to Mr. Limon regarding his fathers lost ring.

After a brief conversation, it was decided that 7-18-2023 at 3pm we would meet at his childhood home.  This home is on the market to be sold and this week would likely be the last opportunity to search for the long gone wedding band.  We met on the street and he showed me the area we would be working,  a small terraced hillside that once was covered in ivy at the front of the home.  The hillside had since been reworked and the ivy removed, being replaced with mulch.

I set up my Equinox 800 and anchored in at the corner of the hillside and grid from bottom to top, right to left facing the hill.  The very first signal was perfect… a VDI (visual discrimination indicator of 16 in both directions….heart break as we pulled an odd brass like fitting.  We continued the grid search systematically removing every target we found.  Then, mid-slope almost exactly where Mr. Limon recalled his father telling him it was lost all those years ago…WE MADE THE RECOVERY!!!!

The signal was not as perfect as I had hoped, but may have been partially masked by another metal object or maybe laid in an awkward position .  The VDI was 18, 19, 20 at 4″ deep and I dug a large plug as to not damage anything below. There, in the spoils of the plug, was the 14K wedding band that went missing almost 25 years earlier.

After recovering the ring, Mr. Limon was kind enough to share all the details I have included above.  He and his family were also most generous in sending me some very emotion evoking photos later that evening.  Thank you very kindly for entrusting me with the search for this very precious piece of your family history and I’m very happy that it will continue to tell a very exciting new story.

Sea Isle City NJ Lost Wedding Band Found by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Nikki’s husband lost his wedding band shortly after he arrived at the beach in Sea Isle City, NJ. He started the day by sitting down to eat some lunch. After he was finished his sandwich, he stood up to dust off some crumbs. Unfortunately, his wedding band came off while he was cleaning his hands. What started as a relaxing day at the beach turned into an unexpected search for the lost ring. The family tried looking for the ring with no success, so his daughter searched for other options. She found Ring Finders South Jersey online and gave me a call. I met them and found out some more details. It wasn’t long after I started the search that I heard the tone of the platinum ring and dug it out of the sand. The family was excited to get back to their vacation in Sea Isle!
Read some of the testimonials here on my website where lost rings have been found!

Lost Gold Wedding ring Found/recovered by RingFinder Ryan Cole @ Silver Beach, St Joseph, Michigan (Lake Michigan)

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Jenny was visiting friends in Kalamazoo and they all were spending the day in St Joseph, at Silver Beach County Park. It was a busy beach day and they were all just enjoying the water and eachother’s company. While out towards the floating buoys, she reached down in the water towards one of her legs, then felt her rings slip off her fingers. Her white gold wedding set and also a slim silver band. With no luck recovering them from the waist deep water, everyone she was with promptly began trying to look for the lost rings. She said about ten people were looking, some with swim masks and others just using their ringers to rake the bottom. Someone actually found the silver band and someone else found a random earring by chance, but no wedding set. Jenny’s friend Diana tried to locate a metal detector to rent, with no luck and then she came across the Ringfinders website and contacted another finder, who then contacted me. I spoke to Diana, told her I could be up there in an hour. Luckily Jenny was still at the beach with her son and was able to wait my arrival to show me where to search. Diana had given me the incorrect phone number for Jenny, so when I texted that I had arrived, given my vehicle description, etc, it all went to who knows who. But, she was keeping an eye on entering vehicles and profiling them to try and guess which wouuld be me. I had walked down to the area Diana mentioned. After several minutes, I was beginning to wonder what was going on, but then saw a lady almost running across the same towards me. She went out in the water with me, to try and relocate the loss spot, but it was all looking somewhat different to her now. I just began searching quickly, because we only had about 50 minutes until the ten pm closing time here. Found four or five bottle caps and a few pop can pull tabs. I was beginning to worry some, as I’d covered a pretty big area with no luck yet. I moved in a bit shallower and got a nice smooth sounding signal that had potential gold numbers on the detector. I was confident enough to tell Jenny it sounded really promising. I scooped up the target and could see a simple wedding band with one diamond, as she had mentioned it was. Relieved, I grabbed it out of the scoop basket and handed her the ring. She was overwhelmed with tears of joy and couldn’t thank me enough. This ring was very sentimental to her.
