It happens allot…rings get thrown into the water, into the woods and into grass yards and parks all over the world and most of the time the rings are never found! But there is hope when you call or text a ring finder because this is what we love to do…help people who find themselves in this very sort of situation!

Mike texted me to ask if I could help find his wife’s diamond engagement ring in the woods behind their home. Seems there was some sort of misunderstanding and the end result was a lost ring in the woods. First off I asked a few questions like: What time of the day or night did this happen? Did you or your wife actually see it as it flew through the air and into the woods? Did your wife play softball in high school? I encouraged them that the answers to these questions would help determine the likely hood of actually finding their lost ring and with the information they gave me I felt fairly confident that I could find their lost ring.

Mike and his family live out in the country and the small area where the ring was thrown was littered with dead branches and vines, small trees and a few palmetto palms as well. My first task was to clear the underbrush away and cut a few low hanging palm fronds so I could effectively swing my metal detector. It took about 15 minutes to cover the target area and I was beginning to think that either the ring bounced off of one of the small trees or maybe she actually threw her ring in a different direction. The ground was relatively free of any metal targets so I was very confident that if my metal detector went over it I would hear the signal and easily uncover it among the leaves. Thirty minutes passed and I called Mike out to verify the direction and Mike indicated it could have gone off to the left more. So as I started searching off to the left I looked over to where I had previously searched and noticed a 6 foot palm tree that had broken branches going up the sides and I had swung my detector casually along the sides but thought I had better check it more thoroughly just to be sure. I started at the bottom and poked my Garrett pin pointer into each opening where the dead branches were and made my way around and all the way to the very top and low and behold a slight beep came from my pin pointer! No way, I thought! And as I poked it around closer the beeping increased. I could not see into the small opening but was able to stick my finger down into the space and as I removed the leaves and debris I got a short glimpse of something shiny and then I saw the diamond!! Mike and Candace were thrilled t have their beautiful diamond engagement ring back once again! I give God the credit for prompting me to investigate that palm tree and for allowing me to be a blessing and encouragement to this dear young couple.

Wedding ring recovered at Bradley Beach, NJ

Contact:

I was out detecting till 3am and got a wake up text from Jessica at 730 asking if I could help locate her wedding band she lost the night before. I was tired but said yes, i had time before they opened the beaches up. Jessica was ment to have her ring back. She was down watching the fireworks the night before and when she got home noticed her ring missing. She really didnt give me much information as to where to look. She just told me somewhere between 3rd and 4th ave mid beach. Told me what her ring looked like. I didnt have much hope with such a large area to look in but figured id give it a try. Got down to the beach and started detecting from the end of the walkway mat they have down towards 4th ave. Looking at the sand there weren’t many foot prints or butt impressions showing people were there so i figured id move down towards the water where there were. Heading back to where i starting on an angle towards the water, i wasnt 15 feet and got a great signal and figured id check it out and after scooping up some sand there was a gold ring in my scoop. It was hers. The first and only thing i dug. I feel like i must of been guided there. I went back to my car to phone her and give her the good news. She couldnt believe it and came down to meet me and get her ring back. A great and happy ending.

I provide a Metal Detecting service here in Vancouver BC to help people find their lost Jewellery, cell phones, keys pretty much anything made of metal that they are seeking.

I’ve been successful over the years, but it’s becoming more difficult now with more and more detectorists out there searching the beaches. Its now time sensitive, if you’ve lost something at beach, park, lake or yard contact me as soon as possible.

Yesterday I got a call from a young lady, who lost her engagement ring and wedding band at Jericho Beach. She took them off to apply suntan lotion on her child. She didn’t realized until she got home that her rings were missing. She put them on the towel and forgot and shook the towel. You can imagine her stress level and how that would feel. And her husband and baby race back to the beach and search for three hours with no luck. The tide was coming in, and soon it would be underwater.

Over the phone I did not realize that they not on the dry sand here on the wet sand, when I got there, they left a mark on the beach I rich search for 20 minutes with no luck fortunately, Mike, her husband came back, and after assessing the area, he believed the rings would be in the water. He left for home and shortly after and waste depot water. I found both the rings they were so beautiful and I was so happy to be able to reunite them with her wedding and engagement ring. I love my job!

San Diego Ring Finder rescues a Lost wedding ring consumed by the Sea with metal detector equipment!

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)
Contact:

 


The California Ring Finders Metal Detector service saved another wedding band from being consumed by the hungry Pacific Ocean!

Recently I received a text Saturday afternoon from Matt saying I was recommended to help find a wedding ring lost in the shallow 2’ water at a local SoCal beach 3 hours prior. Only issue was (Timing) as the tide has risen significantly since rendering an immediate search for this precious ring until a lower tide a few hours later.

As planned we met there that evening just as the sun set along with falling tides. Matt explained to me what happened when it was lost. He simply reached his hand down in beach sand at the surf line, Then looked at his hand after to discover his ring was gone!

We walked to the approximate area to begin a thorough grid search chasing the tide out to the surf in waist deep intervals. After nearly completing the search area the only possible target was a deep low tone that sank out of range of the Minelab Equinox 800 when I was trying to retrieve it in the lapping surf with rough current. I had to run back to my vehicle and switch to a Pulse detector to retrieve it. Turned out be a flat lead piece of trash! 

I turned my metal detector off, Walked over to Matt while waiting above on the beach for about an hour to suggest taking a break for the tide to fall further/Kill time.

Unfortunately during our break we found out the parking lot closes at 10:00pm and could receive citations soon. Matt with his son agreed to wait however we needed to pace back there quickly to double check a landmark from a photo taken matched the search areas proximity.

Round 2, I began cross gridding the same area down the slope further out to the aggressive sea for nearly another hour with no luck at all. At this point I’m basically fighting a battle us Ring finders often have & that’s when to call it quits!   I thought to myself what to say too Matt when I come back empty handed soon.

The only search area I haven’t overly stretched too far is further south of the Landmark Boulder they posted at earlier,,So I headed quite a bit that way building up thought when I was interrupted by a loud solid BEEP on my metal detector … 2 scoops, 6-8” down & a few Seconds later…Matt’s Titanium wedding ring of 20 years magically appeared in my hand!!

You can only fathom how relieved Matt was & others I’ve helped the past 10yrs… To have something Soo important, Soo sentimental, So meaningful taken from you by the hungry ocean…Then handed back to you with a smile:)

LOST 18k GOLD WEDDING RING IN MACON, NC…. FOUND!!!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

About 3 weeks ago, I received a call from a gentleman that had lost his wedding ring about five years ago while winterizing his boat on Lake Gaston. While he was putting a tarp over the top of his boat his ring slid off, due to the colder weather. It dropped in about 5-6 feet of water at the time.

We agreed on a date and time for me to drive the 2 hour 40 min (one way) trip to see if I could recover it. It took me 25-30 mins to gear up, get the back story before I got in the water. 

After about 5-8 mins… 1st target (piece of aluminum) 2nd target a thick and heavy 18k gold ring! “SUCCESS!”

After meeting his wife she admitted she teared up when their daughter told her, ”He found daddy’s ring!” She also admitted, “I didn’t think it could be found and thought it was a waste of time!” Glad I was able to change that mind set and make them all happy!! They shared an awesome/funny story about the inscription on the ring. It says “I LOVE TATOR TOTS, BUT I LOVE YOU MORE” they met while ordering tots! It’s always nice to learn things about the folks you help, especially something that can’t be replaced!

While there, I was told the owner of the house had lost his white gold wedding ring near the water while removing water grass and tossing it up to the bank. After about 40-50 mins I found that ring too!

**********************************************

Ring count for 2024: 17 (9 recoveries)
GOLD – 6 (6 – recoveries)
SILVER – 7 (2 – recoveries)
TUNGSTEN – 1

Lost Pinky Ring in CDA Idaho… FOUND!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

The memories of David’s late mother were swimming around in his head, as David’s dad and David looked through his mom’s jewelry. Just as a bold three diamond gold ring came in view. David quickly recalled his mom wearing it. As if she was there putting it on for an outing David slipped it over his pinky ring seamlessly. There the ring had found a home again. The Ring went with David out to the back patio that night. As David picked up and threw a ball, the ring flew off David’s finger. Raking and using a cheap detector, David looked for his lost ring. After the ring eluded David, he found me on the Ring Finders. I picked up his call and made plans after work. How the ring was lost and where it might have gone were discussed. With the Minelab on, I made an arching grid. Within a few passes a 16-17 signal showed up. It wasn’t deep so I knew his ring could be in sight. That it was, I looked down and saw the ring.  We both were shocked and after photos we had a good chat about our past loved ones. Thank you man for the tip and trusting The Ring Finders.

Detector makes final save before dying!

Contact:

I was really happy to have been able to help Liz recover a beautiful diamond ring set in white gold.

Her young daughter had earlier asked her why she was so sad – it was only the first day of their vacation on the Big Island – but they’d come to Hawaii for vacation and quickly lost one of her most valued items in the ocean.

The Fairmont Hotel in Mauna Lani gave Liz our number and we were quickly on the way from Kona with detectors in the car.

Meeting Liz, she explained she and her husband had swam around the area with mask and snorkel for hours but no luck.

I turned on my Minelab Equinox 800 – it had been a faithful detector in the past and I was sure I’d find the ring so long as it hadn’t been spotted by a swimmer or another detectorist. Sure enough, within 15 minutes of carefully combing the chest-deep water, I hit a big target and within seconds, the ring was back on Liz’s finger!

We took a few photos with Liz holding her recovered ring and my metal detector and said our goodbyes – it’s always a great feeling to be a successful part of someone’s Hawaii adventure.

I headed back for the water and hit the ‘on’ button on my Equinox. The familiar starting sound, then a strange low gurgle… I tried again. Same sound, then error codes on the screen. This detector is supposed to be waterproof to 10 feet and had only been in the water down two or three… I looked again and water started filling the screen and the detector let out a few chirping sounds, then went quiet.

This machine had recovered so many rings – but this would be the last. It made one final ring recovery before dying on the field.

Lost Gold and Diamond Wedding Band Honeymoon Island State Park, Fl. …Found!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)
Contact:


Steve Thomas
Dunedin Ring Finder   lostringdunedin.com

“It’s only lost until I find it!”

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

Recently I saw a post on a local social media discussion page where a visitor to Honeymoon Island State Park named Jeff had lost his wedding band in the water in the Oasis Beach section.  I also noticed that several people who had responded to Jeff’s post had recommended my services. I reached out to Jeff on the post and he messaged my page with the loss details.  Jeff and his wife Kim live about two hours away in the Villages but he was able to provide me with some details about the loss location including some photos. Jeff explained that he was in the water about 10 to 15 feet right of a dune line tree and felt his ring slip off in waist deep water.

The next day I arrived at the loss location with my wife Jan as my “direction” assistant, fired up my Minelab Equinox 900, and began yet another water search for the “needle in the haystack”. A water search is especially challenging when you don’t have the person who lost the ring with you on site to provide an even more precise location but Jan and I were convinced we were in the right spot. I searched for about three hours, ever expanding out from where I began, using shore markers to try to not go over the same ground twice but because you can’t grid search in the water like you can on land, this is almost impossible. I dug a few trashy targets while I searched because when I’m searching for a gold ring, I dig every target. At almost the three hour mark and slightly north of where I began my search, I hit a promising target. After several sandy scoops, out popped the same white gold and diamond ring in Jeff’s photo! I messaged Jeff a photo and simply said “Found It!”. Obviously Jeff and Kim were thrilled and amazed that I was able to recover Jeff’s ring but to be honest it never ceases to amaze me either because no matter how much time you spend with good equipment, you still have to pass close enough to detect the item you’re looking for. Many call that “luck”; I choose to believe there is a little “divine guidance” involved. We set up a time about two weeks later when Jeff and Kim would back be in the area for the return.

Jeff and Kim, thank you for the generous reward and for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder to find your ring. I was so blessed to have found it!
