Ring Lost At Honeymoon Island, Recovered By SRARC

Robert was wade fishing on Honeymoon Island when he watched his wedding ring slide off into the water. A neighbortold them to call our club which put them in contact with Howard Metts. Three members from SRARC Ringfinders cameout for the hunt, Dimitur Alipiev, Howard Metts, and Mike Shuler. Robert and his wife guided the hunters to where they thought the ring had come off. After an hour of no success, Howard Metts decided to hunt in shallower water, 15 minutes later Howard had the ring in his scoop. Robert and Kelly were amazed we had found it as a neighbor searched for 2 hours without finding it. Great job SRARC Ringfinders!

Platinum Ring Lost 18 Years Ago Found in Middlesex NJ By Dave Milsted

Jason sent me an email last week, asking if I could search for a ring his mother lost 18 years ago. It is a diamond platinum ring that belonged to his grandmother. His mom lost it while gardening. We made plans for me to drive up to the town of Middlesex today.

I met Jason & his mom, Audrey. She explained that she was gardening in the front yard, and when she went into the house, the ring was missing. She also was in the back yard shed, where she keeps all of her tools.

She is moving to Florida in a couple of weeks and would really like to have her mother’s ring back. When she lost it, it caused a lot of drama between her mom and herself. She said she had another professional detectorist search for it several years ago with no luck. My optimism faded big time.

I searched the garden and found a ton of roofing nails and foil (from potted plants). I searched the front lawn. Someone must have had holes in their pocket because the path to the driveway was loaded with coins. I searched down to the sidewalk.

Jason said, “I guess we should look in the back yard now.” I said, “let me search the strip between the sidewalk and the street.” He didn’t believe it would be there. With about 4 feet left to search in the strip, I get an excellent 8-9 on my detector. I think it is another piece of tin or foil. It is right up against the curb. About 4 inches deep, I see the beautiful ring.

I wanted to surprise them, so I pulled out my cell phone and acted like I am texting someone. But I’m taking pictures. Jason comes running down to me, asking me what I found. So I just told him that I found it. He couldn’t believe that I found it. So he picks it up and shows his mom sitting on the porch. She lets out the loudest blood curtailing scream. Her elderly neighbor 2 doors down came out of the house to make sure everything is ok.

Audrey didn’t care about social distancing. I got a big hard hug. Audrey shed a lot of tears of joy. It looks like 100 pounds of weight has been lifted off of her. I was so happy that I could find a ring that was missing for 18 years, even after another detectorist searched.

I love my Hobby!!

A note from Jason:  I contacted Dave to look for my Grandmothers wedding ring that my mom lost 18 yrs ago. He showed up and is very professional. After 1 hr of nails, screws, and bottle tabs. He was almost done with the front yard and searched a patch of grass right on the edge of the curb. Long behold he found the ring that gave my mom so much heartache for years. Thank You Dave for making her the happiest I have seen her in a long time.

Gents Platinum Wedding Band Lost & Found On Studland Beach

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Andy & his family from High Wycome were camping near by enjoying a break in Dorset. Taking the children for an early morning swim on Studland, Andy put his wedding ring into his shoe for safe keeping. Later, when he put his shoe on he realised where he had left the ring only to realise it had gone!

After receiving the call from him I was left feeling there wasnt much hope in view of the fact he had dropped it on one of the busiest spots for beach detectorists! We met the evening after the loss, happy to find the area was clear of beach goers & I set to work immediately. Literally within 2 minutes the CTX gave a beatiful hum of gold and after one scoop… there it was!

Andy was obviousely very relieved to have got it back as was I too, especially due to previous detectorists covering the area. Andy made a kind donation to the Margaret Green Animal Sanctuary.

San Diego Lost gold Ring Finder metal detector Grandview beach

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)
Contact:

 

TheRingFinders beach Metal detecting service helped find a lost Gold wedding ring at Grandview beach. 760 889 2751 OPEN NOW.

As easy as a ring can be lost out in the surf water it can also easily be found by a Metal detector specialist. Last night I received a text from a fellow San Diego resident regarding his lost ring in the ocean about knee deep and 4 days ago while surfing.

After a few questions and concerns I decided it was best to go first thing in the morning when the tide was roughly the same height as the day he lost it. This may be the only shot to find this because the current tidal conditions are Neap tides and there will not be minus Spring tide for over week to wait for..In addition,Gold has a tendency to sink being 19.3 times greater than water.

This morning Joe and his pops were able to meet me in help of showing me the general area out in the surf to search. After about an hour of detecting in knee deep water I found a lost wrist watch still ticking but no ring. So I came into the shore to ask Joe a few more questions trying to dial in on exactly where it could of fallen but this is very tough to pinpoint on this beach as there are not many outstanding landmarks to go from,Just a long cliff. So we walked back out in the surf again to help better guide me then just a short time into what some may think is hopeless…I got a gold ring/Nickel type of signal and called him over to watch me dig it up,When out came a miracle…Joes precious ring  Stamped 10/10/10 the day he got married !!

The excitement and reaction I get from this hobby of helping others is the reason why I do this…It’s one thing TheRingfinders,like myself enjoys and it never gets old.

Ring Lost at La Jolla Shores found

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

Bonnie and her fiance were visiting here in San Diego and went to La Jolla Shores to enjoy the sand and water. They went out surfing, and when coming in on a wave, her engagement ring came off in waist deep surf. An online search brought them to The Ring Finders website and my contact info. I got the call later yesterday and after looking at the tide chart, figured I’d give it a try this morning at low tide. It wasn’t going to all that much lower than when she lost it, but, every little bit helps when detecting in the surf. Bonnie sent me a Google map and I used that to start my search at 6:30 am this morning. They showed up about 20 minutes later and I discovered that I needed to move north about 50 yards and was told it should be just north of where they had cones placed on each side of the lifeguard kiosk the day before. Being early still, they hadn’t put the cones out yet, so, we just had to guess where they had been. After a new starting spot, I began my grid and after a short time, they said they had an appointment to go to, wished me luck, and left.

I continued on with my shore-to-surf grid pattern heading north through the search area. After an hour and not a single target, I decided to go back to the starting point and head south. Half hour later and still not a signal, I began a crossgrid working parallel to the shore and working from deeper water toward the beach. At this point the tide had turned, started to come in, and the surf was getting rougher. After reaching ankle deep water and nothing to show for it. I was wondering where to search next. At that point, I noticed that the lifeguards were putting the cones out. Since they usually put them in the same area each day, I took a closer look, and realized that I needed to go south just a little more to completely cover the supposed search area. After a bit, I was just about finished with that area too. Wet, cold, tired, hungry, I was going to call it a day after the next pass or two. Just then, I got the signal I’d been waiting to hear all morning. One scoop later and I was relieved to see Bonnie’s ring. I emailed them the good news and headed home. They came by my house a little before noon and a happy Bonnie was reunited with her beautiful ring. A pleasure meeting you both, good luck with your move and upcoming marriage, and thank you for the reward.

Ring Lost At Fort Desoto, Recovered By SRARC

Ana and Paul came to Ft Desoto to spend some quite time at the beach. They set up at the Bay pier and relaxed in the sun. After a while they went into the water and started to toss a small ball back and forth. As we have often seen, Ana was catching the ball when her engagement ring flew off into the water. They looked for hours and even purchased a small metal detector to try and find the ring. What a devastating loss while trying to save for the wedding this coming January. The next day they found the SRARC ring finders online and contacted Joe Szemer. Joe put a callout to the volunteers and Mike Miller answered the call. The time was set for 10:00 am and Mike arrived early. Using a location provided by Paul from Google Earth he went to work early and found the ring before Paul arrived to narrow the search. As Paul was showing Mike where to focus the hunt, Mike pulled the ring from his pouch and asked Paul if it looked like the right ring. He was overwhelmed and could not believe it was found. Because they were both wearing masks you couldn’t see the smiles but we know they were there. Best wishes for your future together Ana and Paul from the SRARC Ring Finders.

Lost Ring Found in Minneapolis Park

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:
One can imagine how hard it would be to lose your wedding ring. But, for those who have lost their life partner, it means so much more. Nate was playing night frisbee in a Minneapolis park when his wedding ring flew off his finger. He was devastated at the loss. He searched for hours with flashlights and even rented a detector and searched for more hours. He thought it was lost forever. I agreed to help Nate find his ring, so the search began! It was not found on day one search, nor on day two search. But, I never let a lost ring win– the third day out searching was a victory! I was able to locate the ring and return it to its owner. Nate told me, « I don’t have words that fit my respect and appreciation for what you did for me; I’m truly impressed! »
If you have a lost ring, give me a call! I’d love to help you try to find it.

Lost ring on Tybee Island Georgia found!

  • from Statesboro (Georgia, United States)
Contact:

First find for TRF!

I woke up Saturday 8/9/20 to a frantic email from someone who’d lost a ring on Tybee Island, GA the night before. This lovely young couple had just gotten engaged and only 24 hours later the ring was lost. To make matters worse it was the last day of their stay there and they’d have to head back to Florida that afternoon. I set out from Statesboro that morning and met them on Tybee where they’d been camping out watching the spot where they’d lost the ring. After ten minutes of searching we were able to reunite her with the ring.

It was a highly trafficked area but luckily was very clean and so I didn’t have to deal with much trash.

All in all an awesome day and I was glad to be able to assist them in their moment of crisis.

« I can’t thank Todd enough for finding her engagement ring! After coming back to the beach to celebrate our sunset engagement, exactly 24 hours after I proposed to her, the ring got dropped. We were mortified after looking down and seeing nothing in the loose sand. We spent hours late at night combing through sand at the beach and were about ready to call it a complete loss; I expected nobody to be available on a Sunday morning, and we had nowhere to stay to wait any longer. Todd called us first thing in the morning after seeing our frantic email, and got from Statesboro to Tybee Island as fast as he could. After 10 minutes of searching, he found the ring buried under inches of sand! I’m eternally grateful for his help and expertise and would absolutely recommend giving him a call. »

Beautiful Platinum & Diamond Wedding AND Engagement Rings Lost & Found in Canford Cliffs.

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

I received a phone call one Sunday afternoon from Jodies mother explaining her daughter had lost BOTH rings in the sea at Canford Cliffs & she was distraught at the thought of losing them. They had only been married a year! Knowing how soft the sand is there & the high amount of treasure hunters I wasted no time getting there. Even with the current restrictions in place  the roads & beach were heavy with people enjoying evening sundown.

We knew the rough area of search but because the tides retreat it added ‘doubt’. After some 15 minutes searching the sea a curious collection of her friends & family formed making the recovery even more important for me. Edging closer to shore the machine growled the ‘white gold’ tone & I KNEW it was one of our two. Five minutes after finding the first the second ring beckoned too.

The joy, relief & jubilation I experienced with them after making the recovery reminded me how important it is to have organisations such as The Ring Finders. Jodie & husband Ollie made a kind donation to Margaret Green Animal Charity for which i am most grateful.

Single Diamond Gold Engagement Ring Lost & Found On Studland Beach.

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Sara from West Sussex was horrified to feel and SEE both her wedding & engagement ring slip from her fingers into waist height of water along Studland Beach. They managed somehow to see and recover the wedding ring but not the other. Sensibly they marked the area using a large stone they had found. Being close to shore I knew the area would be full of trash & detecting good tones from bad would be difficult & time consuming.

Several attempts were made & after about two hours one tiny tone appeared around trashy others. To my delight, in my scoop I saw the glint of diamond like a cheeky wink and there it wa! Sara was overjoyed & surprised as was I & I snt the ring to her post haste. A kind donation was made to Margaret Green Animal Charity .
