Special ring lost and found in Boulder

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Aw this story ?David’s dad passed away in June and his wedding band was the only thing his dad left him. His dad wore it every day for several decades. Today David was coaching his son’s football team doing handoff drills when he lost his ring. He found Jeff online. So we headed to Boulder to hopefully help him out. David said this is the worst he’s ever felt and I could see that in his face. Jeff and I marked the perimeter and went to work. For some reason I darted from one spot to the other when typically I run in a pattern. I came across a great signal about 10 yards away from where he was handing off the football. We think a player pulled his ring off with the football and carried it that far before it was dropped. He was taken back but so happy that we found it so quickly. David said he had a fortune cookie for lunch and it said “Today you are going to meet some great people” He said “today, I did” ?

Lost platinum wedding band in Littleton, Co found and returned

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

Sevan lost his platinum wedding band while building a fence when it started to rain. He quickly gathered things to put them away. Later after he was inside he realized that he did not have his ring on. He and his wife looked in the mud, trash and garage with no luck. Sevan decided to rent a metal detector, that was unsuccessful. He found me on Ringfinders.com and we made arrangements to meet this morning after my night shift. He was “pretty sure” “80% positive” it was in the area he was building the fence. After looking in that area and the path of travel I decided to expand the search area. Honestly if it was raining and hailing I’d be throwing stuff and running. So I looked further away thinking the ring may have flew off during the scramble. There it was on the surface, saw it before I swung over it quite a few feet away. They had just been married in October so the sentiment value was high. He was so thankful and happy.

Lost watch, FOUND! Cape May, NJ

By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Barbara Ann. Barbara explained that she had spent the day on the beach, here in Cape May, this past Sunday. While at the beach she had removed her watch before going for a swim in the ocean. She placed her watch in the pocket of her cover up for safe keeping. Later in the day she gathered her belongings and headed off the beach. Shortly after returning home she realized that her watch was still in her cover up. When she went to retrieve it, it was gone. Barbara immediately returned to the beach and began searching where she had been sitting that day. after a while, searching, she came up empty-handed and began researching her options. While looking to rent or purchase a metal detector to search herself, Google recommended calling Ring Finders Cape May as an alternative. Now Tuesday Barbara called last evening right around dinner time, after gathering some details I headed over to Broadway Beach and met Barbara. After reviewing the general area I began grid searching the area, after a short hunt I picked up a signal, the only signal thruout the search, and out came Barbaras watch from the sand! Barbara was elated with joy as the watch possessed significant sentimental value to her. Another successful recovery!

Barbaras Review:

“ I lost my watch on the beach. It was an expensive watch but even more sentimentally valuable. I did everything I could to find it . Two days later, as a last resort, I did a Google search for the possibility of renting a metal detector and instead was advised to find a professional detectorist and given a link to Ring Finders in Cape May. When I called , Jeff Laag answered and came out to meet me within 15 minutes. He’s amazing, he understands how important these lost items can be to people. He is a kind, caring man who listened to my whole story, evaluated the search area and got started. The miracle happened within 20 minutes. Jeff found my watch! I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t know what to say, I needed something so much better than just « thank you. » So, Jeff Laag, thank you thank you again and again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Timing is Everything. Lost Wedding Ring Recovered at Old Silver Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts

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

5 September 2026.

Andy and his wife were on the interstate headed back to Pennsylvania when he called me.  Their vacation on Cape Cod had ended, and tomorrow they would be celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary at home.  Sadly, Andy’s wedding ring would not be part of the celebration.  It had been left behind somewhere in the sand of Old Silver Beach about 24 hours ago.

As Andy described the situation, he had placed his ring in a small side pocket of his chair at the beach,  He’d forgotten about it when they packed up and left in mid-afternoon, only later to discover that the ring was gone.  So the ring most likely was left in the dry sand where they’d been sitting, or possibly in sand along the route they’d taken back to the parking lot.  He described the ring as white and yellow gold with 4 small pavé diamonds.

I asked Andy to text me a map indicating his best guess of where they’d been sitting and told him I’d leave for the beach right away.  Old Silver Beach is popular with detectorists and I was concerned that his ring was a ‘sitting duck’ that might already have been found or could soon be found, so time was of the essence.

When I arrived at the beach I grabbed my gear and headed for the spot marked on Andy’s map.  On the way I passed a man and his son who had a detector.  I stopped and told him that if they found a white and yellow gold ring with 4 small pavé diamonds, I had the name and contact information for the man who lost it.  Dan, the father, said ‘we found it’!  I outlined the situation to the point that Dan seemed satisfied that I was not ‘scamming’ him (unfortunately you can’t be too careful these days!).  He provided his phone number which I sent on with a message to Andy so that they could talk directly with one another.

While Dan and Andy were conversing and arranging a return, I learned from Dan’s wife that their daughter had found the ring using their son Ben’s detector, so there was some sibling rivalry as to who deserved the credit.  In any case, she had some cute pictures that had been taken of a gleeful Ben with the ring.

Dan and his family left shortly after his conversation with Andy ended, so the serendipitous timing of my arriving at the beach and meeting Dan was a real stroke of luck.  There now of course was disappointment, especially on the part of Ben, but there was also an honorable ending with the ring in the process of being returned to its rightful owner.

And a 29th wedding anniversary will be celebrated with joy and not with a modicum of regret!

UPDATE, 9/11: Andy received his ring a week to the day from when it was lost.  A big thank you to Dan and his son Ben!

Andy’s wedding ring.

Andy, very happy to have his ring back!

Dan’s son Ben, thrilled by a ring find with his new detector!

Tungsten Wedding Ring Lost In The Saco, Maine Surf, Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

? ???? ?? ??? ????????: ? ???? ??????? ??? ???? ????!

On August 4th at 6:26 PM, my phone rang. It was Jeremy, and he was in a complete panic. ?

Earlier that afternoon, Jeremy was enjoying a picture-perfect summer day at Kinney Shores right here in Saco, Maine. He was soaking up the sun and decided to cool off with a swim in the warm Atlantic Ocean… OK, let’s be real, maybe not that warm. ?

While out braving the freezing Atlantic waters (is that better? ?), the unthinkable happened. Jeremy felt his Tungsten wedding ring slip right off his finger, sinking instantly into the shifting sands of the ocean floor.
Panic set in. He immediately began frantically searching the bottom, but the crashing waves made visibility absolutely zero. ?❌

But then, Jeremy did something brilliant. He kept his wits about him. He ????? dead in his tracks right where the ring dropped. He looked straight back toward the beach and locked his eyes onto a specific house sitting on the shoreline. A visual marker. It was a legendary decision that would change everything. ?

Jeremy kept fighting the elements to find it, but between the pounding surf and a rapidly incoming high tide, the ocean won round one. He was forced to abandon the search and make the long, heavy-hearted drive back home to New Hampshire for work the next morning. ??

Once he got home, Jeremy refused to give up hope. He frantically searched the internet for a solution and discovered ??? ???? ??????? ?? ????? and our ????????? ????? ????????? ????????.
Recognizing this was a race against time and shifting ocean currents, he immediately placed that fateful call to me. ?✨

With Jeremy still on the phone anxiously waiting, I instantly pulled up the local Saco tide chart. ?⏱️

The clock was ticking. High tide had peaked about 2.5 hours ago. Low tide was just over 3.5 hours away. That meant one thing: ??? ???? ??? ????? ???. ??

Jeremy had dropped the ring right at the mid-tide cycle. With the water receding by the minute, that tungsten wedding band would soon be exposed on wet sand instead of buried deep under breaking waves. It was the perfect window of opportunity.
I told Jeremy:  » ?’? ℎ?????? ??????ℎ? ???? ?? ?????? ?ℎ???? ???ℎ? ???. ?’? ????? ?? ?????? ?ℎ? ???? ???. » ??

The game plan? Use Jeremy’s incredible foresight. I was going to execute a flawless, tight grid search covering the entire width of that shoreline house he had locked his eyes on when the ring fell off. ?️?

I quickly loaded my gear into The Ring Finder Mobile and made the quick 10-minute drive down to Kinney Shores. Finding a parking spot right next to the beach access path during a busy Maine summer is usually a miracle in itself, but Lady Luck was on our side and I managed to snag a spot immediately! ??
Stepping onto the beach, I checked the time: ?:?? ??.⏱️

Looking out at the water, I calculated that if the ring wasn’t already sitting under the newly exposed sand, it would be very shortly. Thanks to technology, Jeremy had texted me a photo of the exact shoreline house he had locked his eyes on. I spotted it instantly, set up my north and south grid search boundaries, and got to work.
The metal detector started humming. At first, I dug up the usual beach suspects: a few pieces of trash, a heavy fishing sinker, and a couple of stray coins. ??

The search area wasn’t huge, but I was moving fast and soon found myself standing right at the wet, crashing waterline. I had been swinging my detector for ?? ??????? ???????? without a single sign of tungsten. ⏳?

I reached a critical crossroads. Do I turn around, head back to where I started, and search higher up toward the dry shore? Or do I keep pushing the limit? With the tide still actively going out and exposing fresh sand by the second, I made a gut-call decision: ???? ??? ?? ??? ???? ???? ?????? ????? ????? ??? ?????????. ??

As I headed south on that extra pass, I was closing in on my southern boundary when suddenly—????!??

A ????, perfectly repeatable mid-tone target completely filled my headphones. I looked down at my screen. The target identification number was locking in right in the low 50s. ?

The ultimate suspense: Was it just another lead fishing sinker… or was it a tungsten ring?
I dug my scoop deep into the wet sand, lifted it up, and threw the contents onto the surface. As the wet sand parted, there it was, sitting right on top. A beautiful, unmistakable tungsten wedding ring catching the fading daylight. ???????!!! ??

I had found Jeremy’s wedding ring in just ?? ??????? of searching! ⏱️?

And honestly? It was all because of Jeremy’s lightning-fast thinking. By freezing in his tracks and locking his eyes onto that exact house on the shore, he gave me the perfect map. ? (?? ??? ?????? ??? ?????? ???? ??????, ???? ???? ?? ????? ??? ??? ???? ????? ?? ??? ???? ?????? ?? ?????? ???? ?????! ??)

I pulled out my phone to record that video for him. Panning the camera over to the ring glistening in the sand, I said: « ?’?? ?????? ??? ????? ??? ????. ?’? ??? ????? ?? ?????? ?? ?????. ?’? ???????? ????? ???? ??????? ? ???? ????? ??! ???????????????! » ??

I pressed send on the video and waited. Literally ??? ?????? ?????, my phone lit up. It was Jeremy! ??

He was absolutely over the moon, overflowing with pure happiness and thanking me for the lightning-fast response to his plea for help. But more than anything, he was completely stunned. He couldn’t believe the ring had been found so incredibly fast! ?✨

With the sun setting over Saco, we coordinated the big return. As it turned out, Gary Hill and I already had an early 6:30 AM search planned for the next morning down at Footbridge Beach in Ogunquit, Maine, to look for a lost engagement and wedding ring set. ??

We hatched a perfect plan. Jeremy wanted his precious wedding ring back so badly that he agreed to drive up from New Hampshire extra early the next morning. He was willing to make a 2-hour round trip before his shift rather than endure the agonizing wait until after work! ??

The next morning, Gary and I had been swinging our detectors for about half an hour when Jeremy arrived, walking right out onto the sand to meet us. After plenty of celebratory handshakes and a full rehash of the wild search from the night before, Jeremy walked off Footbridge Beach one incredibly happy, smiling man. He felt whole once again. ?❤️

Now, Gary and I had a couple of other rings to find on that beach, and it wouldn’t be easy… but that is a full story for a few weeks from now! ?

We truly have the best job in the world, and we absolutely love what we do.
????? ?????????? ???? ?? ?? ??? ???????!?
If you or someone you know loses a ring, heirloom, phone, or keys on the beach, ?? ??? ????! Shifting sands and incoming tides can bury or move your items permanently within minutes. ?⏳

???? ?? ?? ??????????? ?? ??? ???? ? ????:
1️⃣ ???? ???? & ??????: Stop moving so you don’t step on it or push it deeper.
2️⃣ ??? ? ????????: Look straight toward the shore and lock onto a house, a unique tree, a lifeguard chair, or a path.
3️⃣ ???? ? ????? / ???? ? ??? ???: Take a quick picture of your surroundings or drop a pin on your smartphone maps application immediately.
4️⃣ ???? ?? ??????????? ?? ???-???-????! ??
The sooner you call ??? ???? ??????? ?? ?????, the higher your chances of a happy ending just like Jeremy’s! ?

Lost Gold & Diamond ring, recovered, Sawyer Michigan, Lake Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Marilyn lost her gold ring yesterday, while out back with the family on the beach. Not sure if on the dry sand or in the water. This ring has her grandmother’s wedding ring diamonds mounted on it, so its of great sentimental value. Her son contacted me and we orchestrated the details and I was on my way over (time crunch, before work).
The potential loss area grew quite a bit after getting the tour of the beach area, but I would give it my best and return tomorrow if need be.
Nothing turned up on the dry, so I moved to the water.
She’d gone out to neck deep yesterday and said the sand had moved a lot overnight.
After a few passes, I got a nice signal in about thigh deep water. Sounded great, but also sounded like a US nickel (same exact vdi # 26), but when I peeked in the scoop, I saw that Gold ring and knew i’d got it. It was about 3-4” down in the sand.
Marilyn was amazed I’d found it!

The Vanderbilt Ring That Took a Swim

Wilden was out in the lake enjoying some time with his wife, tossing a football back and forth, when things took an unexpected turn. As Wilden threw the football to his wife, his newly acquired college ring slipped right off his hand and disappeared into the lake.
This wasn’t just any ring—it was his Vanderbilt University college ring, and his wife had just bought it for him about two days earlier! Needless to say, Wilden was probably already starting to think about how comfortable the doghouse was going to be.
I headed out to help and began searching the lake. Luckily, the water was only about 3–4 feet deep, making the search a little easier. It didn’t take long before I located Wilden’s Vanderbilt ring resting beneath the water.
Ring recovered, crisis averted, and most importantly… Wilden is officially out of the doghouse!
Another ring found, another happy ending.

Metal detecting service finds lost gold chain in Port Orange Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



This search began when Ronaldo called me asking if I could help him find his lost gold chain and medallion. Apparently while working at a neighbors house his chain was getting in the way of his bending over while putting an electric line in a ditch and he was concerned it would fall off or get damaged so he removed his chain and set it on the back bumper of his truck…thinking he would retrieve it later before driving his truck. BUT…you guessed it…he plumb forgot and drove his truck just a very short distance and all of a sudden he remembered his chain and when he stopped and checked his bumper…his precious chain was gone! He immediately returned to his neighbors yard thinking it must have fallen off into the grass but he walked for an hour looking and just could not find his lost gold chain anywhere. He even searched the road where he drove and nothing! When I arrived I began searching the thick grass and after an hour I too came up empty handed. Ronaldo was quite shaken and as we talked I encouraged him that if it was there I felt very confident we could find it and mentioned to again check the road where he drove and wouldn’t you know it…his chain was actually still just laying in the middle of the road in plain sight and had been run over at least once because the medallion was a bit bent and slightly scratched up but all in all his lost gold chain was in one piece! Ronaldo was ecstatic and thanked me over and over for coming out and helping him find his sentimental lost gold chain! What an honor it is for me to be able to help those in need of this unique and specialized service. I thank God often for allowing me the privilege to bring joy and happiness to people who need my help. So….how can I help you? Call, text or leave me a message at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Lost gold ring, FOUND! Cape May, NJ By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Phil yesterday just ahead of an incoming storm. Phil explained that he was exiting the ocean and shook off his hands when his wedding ring slipped off and was immediately swallowed up by a passing wave. Phil and his wife searched the shallow with no success. Given the time of day, current tide schedule and approaching storm I decided it would be best to attempt recovery during this morning low tide. Phil did an excellent job of marking the area with a pin and taking reference photos. This morning I arrived on the beach at Phils pinned location and began searching. After about an hours time I swung my coil over Phils ring and recovered it from approx 14” down in the sand! Phil and his family finished breakfast and met me on Decatur St beach, here in Cape May and retrieved his ring. Another successful recovery, another saved vacation!

Phils Review:

“Jeff is the best! I lost my gold wedding ring on the southern tip of Cape May beach right as the tide was coming in. We called Jeff immediately, and he was able to head out to the exact spot at the next low tide—roughly 19 hours later. About an hour into searching, he found it! We were sure it was gone forever, especially after a pretty bad storm rolled through that night. Jeff came to the rescue. He is highly professional, and I cannot recommend him enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Found & Returned to Owner – Lake Tahoe

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)
Contact:

Sugar Pine Point State Park, Lake Tahoe, California: Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Found and Returned to the Owner by Metal Detector Specialist — Trevor Oxborrow.
Jack was working at the Lake Tahoe Triathlon five days ago and remembers talking off his work gloves several times throughout the day—but didn’t recognize the exact moment his wedding ring came off his finger. Later in the day, and not knowing for sure if the ring came off at Sugar Pine Point State Park, he double checked his gloves and thoroughly searched his car.
With very special words engraved on the inside of his ring and having worn this ring for decades, he knew he had to find it.
Being from Reno, Jack initially contacted Ring Finder—Michael Dewey, who happened to be out of town, so Michael forwarded Jack’s contact info to me.
I called Jack and arranged to meet him at Sugar Pine Point State Park at 10am. I arrived at 9:45am and few minutes later got a call from Jack who explained he was delayed by thirty minutes. He described, over the phone, one of the possible search locations and encouraged me to begin. I searched the area for twenty five minutes with only one target—a 1982 penny. My second solid target turned out to be Jack’s Special Lost Platinum Wedding Ring.
I immediately called Jack, who had been delayed again, and he couldn’t believe I had already found his ring.
We arranged to meet in Tahoe City.
I could tell that Jack was so relieved and happy to have his Special Ring back on his finger.
