Lost Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Towson, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Alex the day before I was headed out of town. He had lost his ring and believed it was in his back yard. Luckily, he was located less than 15 minutes from my work, so we made plans to try and locate it the next morning.

I’ll let Alex tell you the story in his own words!

“Jim is amazing! Not only did he help me find my lost wedding ring, but he showed up to my house at 6:45am because he was heading out of town later that day and wanted to ensure he could help me as quickly as possible. I can’t recommend Jim enough, if you have a lost ring and know the general area it’s in, he WILL find it! Thanks again my friend.” – Alex

White Gold Wedding Band and a University of Virginia (UVA) Class Ring Lost in North Myrtle Beach, Found and Returned.

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

On Sunday, October 11, 2026, and just after 12:30 pm I received a text saying, “Hey Jim, this is Marc. I’m currently staging in north Myrtle Beach and lost my wedding ring and class ring at the beach. Are you working today with your detector?” I checked the tide tables in case this would be a water search and then called Marc at the number that was attached to the text. First question I asked was if the rings were lost in the water, and Marc replied “no.” He went on to say that he had placed his rings on a towel and forgot about them until after he left the beach. I told him to send me an address where I could park and told him I’d be there in about 10 minutes.

When I arrived at the rental where Marc and some friends were staying, I met Marc in the driveway. We walked down to the beach, and he pointed out the area where they were sitting and his towel was. I started a north/south grid line from the suspected area to the slope and wasn’t having any luck. I stopped and talked with Marc to make sure I was in the right area. I asked him which way he was facing when he picked up his towel, and he said he was facing towards the dunes. So, I moved a little farther up towards the dunes and continued my grid search. It wasn’t long until I hit a solid 11 on the VDI (visual display indicator), telling me I hit white gold. I dug a few scoops and then saw his wedding band lying embedded in the sand at the bottom of the hole. I reached down and picked it up, cleaned the sand off it and held it up for Marc to see. He confirmed it was his wedding ring. Now I needed to find his UVA class ring. I continued with the grid search and couldn’t find it. I started over and did a cross grid and still no ring. About the only place left to search was the beach access route. As I’m finishing up with that, I noticed a gentleman come up and talk with Marc. As Marc caught up to me, he told me the gentleman told him he had found a UVA ring and turned it into the beach patrol about 11:30 a.m. I called the beach patrol number and gave Marc my phone to leave a voice message. Shortly after I got home, I got a text message from Marc saying, “I just got the second one a bit ago from beach patrol!” Both rings are back where they belong.

Marc – Thank you for calling and trusting me to help find your lost rings. So happy you got them back.

Lost Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Broomes Island, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Matt back on October 4th about a wedding band that was lost the day before. I’ll just let him tell you the rest. Thanks for the kind words, Matt!

After you read his testimonial, take a look at the one picture! You can see how easy it would be to overlook it in the grass with the naked eye!

 

I can’t recommend Jim Wagner highly enough!

My sister got married last weekend, and sometime during the wedding my dad lost his wedding band in a grassy area that had been used for guest parking. He had worn that ring for 52 years without ever losing it, only to have it disappear on the day of his daughter’s wedding. Needless to say, both of my parents were extremely upset.

I spent about an hour searching the area with a flashlight but had no luck. Since the wedding was in a coastal area where metal detecting is fairly common, I started searching online for someone who specialized in finding lost rings and jewelry. Jim was by far one of the most highly recommended people I found, so I left him a voicemail.

Within about 10 minutes, Jim called me back. As luck would have it, he was already driving relatively close to the area on his way home. After I explained what had happened, he asked me a few questions and had me send him a photo of the area where I thought the ring had been lost.

When Jim arrived, his experience immediately showed. Using his equipment and expertise, he was able to locate my dad’s wedding band remarkably quickly. Finding a ring that had been worn for 52 years—and that happened to be lost on such an emotional and important family occasion—was an incredible blessing. We were all so relieved and grateful.

I also really appreciated how fair and straightforward Jim was about his fee. Because the location ended up being a little farther out of the way than originally anticipated, there was a very reasonable $40 call-out fee. Beyond that, there wasn’t a predetermined reward amount. Jim simply suggested considering what you might tip for good service along with the monetary and sentimental value of the item he recovered. I thought that was an exceptionally fair and reasonable approach, especially considering the value of what he helped return to our family.

If you ever lose a ring or another meaningful piece of jewelry in the area, I would absolutely recommend calling Jim before attempting to buy a metal detector and search for it yourself. After watching how quickly he worked, it was obvious that successfully finding lost jewelry involves much more than simply owning the equipment—it takes experience, skill, and knowing how to use it.

Jim clearly has that expertise. He turned what could have been a heartbreaking permanent loss into a wonderful ending to a very special family weekend. We are incredibly thankful, and I would highly recommend Jim Wagner as the person to call if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.

Matt

Gold Ring Found In Battle Creek, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:
Received a text from Alyssa stating she had lost her memorial diamond ring (diamond is made of ashes of her daughter that passed away 10 yrs ago) Diamond is set in a rose gold ring. WE HAVE TO FIND THIS!
She had given the ring to her son to wear for a short time and in about 2 hours the ring came up missing. He had gone outside at one point and was throwing some trash into a trash can and thinks this is when the ring flew off his hand.
Upon arriving I met Alyssa and her husband Glenn and I asked Glenn if he was willing to help me search for the ring. I gave him a metal detector and a short lesson on how to use it. We had their son come out and show us his underhand throw toward the trash can. We searched that area over and over again and even searched in and around a firewood pile nearby.
After about 1 ½ hours we were almost ready to give up when we both walked back toward the back porch and Glenn saw the ring laying on the ground in plain sight. They had searched that area many times and I had also searched that area and we all missed it. Rings have an emotional link to them, but this one was special

Found Man’s Wedding Ring in a Vermont Playground

Got a call about an hour ago from a young dad who lost his wedding ring last night while playing with his kids at the local playground. So I went there at lunchtime today and found it in less than three minutes! It was a miracle! The wood chips were firmly packed, so I was a little afraid that his ring might have been quite visible and might’ve gone home with somebody else already. But for some reason, it was about an inch under the surface. My heart feels really good right now, found two rings in one day for young dads. ❤️

Man’s Wedding Ring Found in Beautiful Vermont

10/11/26
Got a call last night from a gentleman who lost his ring while doing yardwork in preparation for winter. Between the cold air, losing a few pounds his ring was a little loose, plus working hard with several types of tools.

So we made arrangements for me to do a search first thing this morning. It was a beautiful morning for a ride up high in the mountains. When I got there, he showed me the most likely places to start. The area had a surprising amount of metal in the ground, plus there was a metal fence. He had tried his detector and running a leaf blower, but didn’t have any luck.

Fortunately, I got a great signal and I knew it was a surface find. I peeked into the deep grass and there it was! It only took about 15 minutes, but sometimes these searches turned into many hours so we were both very happy.

Sahil called having lost his ring in the sand volleyball court at the beach. This had been given to him, so it had great sentimental value. I was available, so I left to go help him right away.

When I got to the beach, we found each other quickly. Sahil then took me to the area he believed the ring had been lost in, so I got my equipment ready, and began my grid. Well this search did not end quickly, as I went over the entire area he showed me finding a lot of trash metal, but no ring. He then showed me another area he thought might have the ring, more trash metal, but not that one either. Once more there was another possibility, so I began a new grid, and then about 8 passes in on that area, I « struck gold »! There it was in the scoop, a beautiful gold and jeweled ring which I was able to give back to Sahil who was very grateful.

Aron called after he lost his wedding ring at the beach. I was ready to go, and left right away to help him find it.

When I got there, it took a few minutes to find the area where he was. Aron had to leave before I arrived per a business schedule, but his friends were still there to show me where to search. It took only a few minutes to find the ring, but had to include my picture with it because his friends got it back to him.

I got a call about a lost bracelet at the beach. Carla had been enjoying her day with a group of friends when she noticed her bracelet missing from her wrist. She and her friends searched all over for it, and then called me. I was available, and left right away to do the search.

I got to the beach and found them quickly. Carla showed me the area they had been in, so I began a grid search in order to make sure all ground was covered. After about 6 passes, and a few pieces of trash metal findings, I was able to find Carla’s bracelet, and what a beauty it was. She and all of her friends were highly excited about the recovery, which made for a great group shot.

I received a call from Lucas letting me know that he had lost a pendant in a sand volleyball court at Hermosa Beach, and wondered if I would be able to help him. I let him know I would leave immediately, and come to search for his pendant.

When I arrived we found each other, and Lucas showed me the area he believed the pendant was lost. I got the equipment together, and within minutes, I was able to hand it back to him. He told me how it had been given him by a close relative, so it meant a lot to get it back. I was happy to have made his day.
