Wedding Charm Sails Away from Wedding Bouquet: Barnstable, MA

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

Karoline’s day was going perfectly, family, friends, food, beverages, weather, entertainment, you name it it was all perfect, well almost. It seems a bit of wind had untied the knotted string holding a family heirloom, a gold sailboat, close to the bouquet. The sailboat ran aground mooring itself in the soft sand which was soon to be covered by water of the incoming tide.

Many eyes searched and fingers sifted the sand to no avail. As a last resort I was called. My search lasted a bit over two hours covering both the area on the beach and yard also to no avail. About ready to call it a day Karoline’s sister came running and said we have a neighbor’s pictures, some 135 of them, and one shows the sailboat at the feet of the bride and groom. The entourage was on the way to the beach.

Trying to match the photo up with the landscape was no easy task. After the third area was isolated, and I searched it, an area only about 3 inches from one of my previous search marks, the commandeered sailboat was scooped from the fluffy sand. Now I had the fortune to return it to its rightful mooring. One can talk about a million in one, finding the sailboat in the one picture was one of those winning odds.

Double Ring Return at West Dennis Beach: Dennis, MA – PART 2 OF 2

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

While looking for a lost platinum wedding band I had been told about another lost ring. The first ring was found in about 20 minutes. Now the pre-teen’s father and mother were standing on the beach hoping to “see the Ring”. That was not likely to happen. After a short conversation I started searching for the ring high on the beach face working to the water’s edge. Not finding the ring where I thought it would be, I right away started searching perpendicular to the water and on the second pass the second platinum ring of the hour was in my scoop.

I rinsed off the sand from my scoop and the ring and then let the owner remove his ring from my scoop. Total time from starting to search for one lost ring I ended up finding and returning two rings in less than 40 minutes. What a thrill, for me and both of the men needless to say their wife’s thrill when I gave the sentimental rings back to their husband.

Double Ring Return at West Dennis Beach: Dennis, MA – PART 1 OF 2

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

Dave had called, left a message and sent an e-mail alerting me to his lost ring at a local beach about 22 hours past. It was near Lifeguard chair 2. I was ready and headed out for what I hope to be a quick search, recovery and return. Aha, the dreaded seaweed had invaded my area of search. That seaweed really slowed my search speed down but not my results.

Just after I started searching two pairs of two pre-teenagers asked if I was looking for the lost ring. I said “yes” and was told that I was in the wrong place. Two of the pre-teens were infatic that I needed to go about 20 yards down the beach and that the ring had been lost today. Well, not the ring I was looking for, the ring I was searching for had been lost was laying on the ocean floor for the second day. Little did I know at the time the ring the two boys were talking about was the pre-teen’s father and he had just lost his ring. You guessed it I now had another ring to search for. I told the pre-teens if they stayed away that I would look for their father’s ring right after finding the one I was currently looking for.

I found the first ring in about 15 minutes, a very nice platinum wedding band. I was off to find the second ring. The ring was reunited with Dave an hour later at my house.

Platinum/ Diamond Wedding Ring Set Found with Help of Newport Beach Lifeguards

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you lose your valuable in a place where a metal detector can be used, I am available to help, call now. .. 949-500-2136 .

****  Jessica had placed her platinum/diamond wedding ring set on her towel while applying sunscreen. She was enjoying her day off with her children in Newport Beach, CA. When she left, she packed up their beach items and drove home. She was home before she realized her rings must have fallen in the sand when she picked up her towel.

Jessica was not able to locate our RingFinders service till after noon the next day. I took a verbal directions as to where the rings were lost and took off to the location 24 hours after the loss. It was 4 pm with people still laying out on the beach. I was able to scan a few open areas of the beach but I couldn’t feel confident that I did a complete search until the beach was clear of people.

After a couple hours I was able to begin a decent grid search. I found the wedding ring (the most difficult to find) right under where a couple had been sitting on the sand. The diamond engagement ring did not show. Immediately I thought that the larger ring may have been found by the people sitting on the spot. They had been running their fingers through the sand. ? 

It was getting discouraging as I did a triple grid. Then I was approached by one of the head lifeguard supervisors. He asked what I was looking for, I told him. That’s when he surprised me saying, a person had found a platinum engagement laying on the sand this morning. They turned it into the main lifeguard headquarters. I showed him the matching ring and gave the lifeguard Jessica’s name with her contact information. 

I called Jessica telling her to good news. We met later that day at the lifeguard headquarters were she was able to get her precious rings back on he finder where they belong. It was a different type recovery, who would think that a stranger would find a valuable ring and turn it into lost and found. I’m so glad the lifeguard supervisor took the time to confront me. The lifeguard in the tower had no idea that a ring had been turned into the main lifeguard headquarters.

Lost Wedding Band, Buena Vista Park, Edmonton Alberta, Canada

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:


      

I received a call from Donnie requesting my services to find his wife’s wedding ring which was lost along road way in the park.

Donnie explained that the ring was lost on Tuesday evening and he had spent three days looking for the ring he even purchased a metal detector but to no avail. Donnie had planned on heading back early Saturday morning armed with a flashlight to try again, then he decided to check the internet for tips on finding lost rings, he found “Theringfinder” web site and contacted me.

I agreed to meet Donnie at the park he showed me the area where the ring could be. The area was dense tall grass and brush which made the search very difficult to find anything especially a tiny platinum ring.

I decided to change my search coil to a six inch double-d smart coil which made the search easer around the dead thick foliage and within about fifteen minutes I heard a sweet tone. I found the ring and when I showed Donnie the ring he could not believe how quickly I had found it. I explained to him that it takes years of experience to learn how a metal detector works and that each metal detector is unique, that’s why you hire a professional.

Donnie was very happy to have the ring back and return it to his wife.

Thank you Donnie for entrusting me to locate your wife’s lost wedding ring.

Oceanside San Diego Metal detector finds lost gold ring

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)

 

 

TheRingFinders Metal Detector Service helped find a lost gold ring in the surf at Oceanside pier OPEN NOW;CALL 760 889 2751

On Sunday 8/11/19 I was referred an emergency ((911 Ring Finders call)) about a wedding ring just lost in the surf from a Local Ring Finder member John Hughes who was out on vacation.

I contacted the couple right away who informed me the ring was just lost 20min ago in waist deep water at Oceanside beach so I was immediately on my way….

(Timing is of the essence here as the tide levels rise and fall depending on the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.)

….Upon arriving to the scene of the lost ring,I met Rob and his wife then we both headed in the Pacific ocean where he felt the ring fall off.Initially,I had hopes of quickly finding it for them but as I was waist-chest deep while duck diving under waves in the Surfline,It was obviously a shot in the dark after an hour long search.I knew this precious ring meant a lot to them and insured them there is a better chance of recovery at 2:00am during the minus low tide the next morning where it could be only ankle-shin deep then.

It’s not easy when your alarm goes off at 1:15am However,the will & fortitude from within had me on the beach right at 2am …some how with just a half cup of coffee.After an hour of searching and expanding this small wet-line area again I was burning out with zero coffee left! 3:00am in the morning now and it’s dead low tide so I decided to scan the knee-waist deep area where the shore-break was crashing…Finally recieved a familiar ring sound on my water proof Pulse induction metal detector.,,Heart is pounding as I wait nearly a minute in between the surfs lapping intervals then plucked one precise scoop at it then out pops a heavy 18k White Gold Ring!

The best part of these kind of stories is being able to text them a picture of their lost ring the next morning:) Especially as I headed off too work on a Monday with my phone blowing up with relief and good karma.They were definitely very thankful I could help them find what may of been lost forever.

Lost Gold Ring In The Grass Found In Novi Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Tan Lines Optional

The pictured young beauty was out tanning yesterday and after slathering up the suntan lotion her ring came off in between trips to her apartment getting cold drinks for the guests. They didn’t realize it was missing until dark, so they combed the grass and searched thru towels and what not to no avail. When I talked with her we agreed to meet today and search the area. The grass was long so I started to search the path she remembered taking into the apartment.
After about 10 min I got a nice solid signal in the ring range on the MXT meter reading about 2″ deep. Pin pointing thru the grass revealed this little beauty with a golden tan all it’s own! She was thrilled that her golden ring was found and enjoyed posing for some pics. Now she can relax, and catch some more rays! Even tho she knows the look of tan lines are hard to pull off, her ring will stay on!

FOUND! Lost Wedding Band Avalon NJ By john Favano

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)

I received a call from Meg who told me she dropped her wedding band in the sand in Avalon, NJ. After speaking to her and asking several questions about where and how she lost it, I started my search. I detected for about 40 minutes without any luck. Since she knew exactly where she dropped the ring, I knew it couldn’t be in the sand and had to be somewhere else. I asked her to check her bag again and sure enough it was there. It must have fallen into something inside the beach bag. The ring was found in the last place that we looked and went right back on her finger!

Wedding band recovered in Seaside Heights/Park NJ by Dennis Burlingame

Got a call from Kevin and Karishma, While at the waters edge with his child a wave caught him and off slid his wedding band. When I got there and saw the waves I thought this wasn’t going to be an easy one. Tide was going out so I tried the slope some then worked my way into the water best I could with the waves coming in the way the were. Plus it didn’t help there were kids and people all over not wanting to move for me. Finally I just couldn’t work the water anymore getting hit with waves, I told her I’d give it one more shot on the slope because everyone left. Back and forth on the 3rd pass I got a good hit on the detector and in 2 scoops of sand I had his ring. They were so happy and I a great feeling know I got his ring back for him.
