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.

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 .

Stunning White Gold & Diamond Ring Lost & Found On Southbourne Beach.

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Natasha & fiance spent a relaxing day on the beach making the most of the weather. Unfortunately the day was ruined when she noticed her ring, a gift from her parents some many years before, was missing!. The beach is well detected by others & I knew we had to get their first so wasted no time meeting her there.

After some ten minutes of detecting my machine gave a loud groan as it hit the ring. In fact, the ring itselt was only partially covered making it vunerable to opportunists. This is by far the pretiest ring I have ever recovered too. Natasha was delighted to have the ring back & hurried off back to babysit from where I had called her away. She made a very kind donation to the Margaret Green Animal Charity.

Silver Hammered Ring Lost & Found On Southbourne Beach

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Duncan from Bournemouth visited a sun drenched Southbourne Beach with his family and au pair recently. After a wonderful day unfortunately the au pair felt her ring slip from her finger when they gathered their things to leave. Instantly it disappeared without trace and even after some careful sifting refused to show itself.

I took the call from them and acted straight away. The ring was very dear to her being a gift from her mother. After 10 minutes of detecting trash, at the foot of some steps, up it came. She was very relieved to have it back but a little shy to send a photo with her reunited with it. Duncan made a kind donation to the Margaret Green Animal Charity.

Yarmouth, Massachusetts: Lost wedding band found and returned by a Ring Finder

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

After a day of 6 hours of searching for a wedding band I was hoping for a day of relaxation before the tides would come around to the point I could get back into the water for another search. Then the phone rang while I was out mowing my yard’s grass. Rachel at a local resort called and left a message that a vacationer had just lost his wedding band on the beach. When I returned the call I spoke with Katie. Yes, she and her father needed my help. However, my pork chop would not wait, I had to eat. There is no telling how long a search may take and I needed the energy packed food, the ring was not going anywhere. It was being well looked after. Well in 45 minutes I was on the beach and searching.

Dave had been watching over a covey of fun filled relatives. One niece, Erin, tossed him a football, that did it. Dave’s wedding band was flying over the beach, dropping onto and then vanished into the soft sand. An hour of crawling on and moving the sand around did not uncover the ring. I arrived to a very warm welcome and cheers not only from the one group but others that had been watching Dave doing his thing on the beach while looking for his ring. I was told watching Dave was quite amusing. Sorry I had missed his antics, I was there to find the ring.

The ring was either gold, white gold, silver, platinum. OK, it was agreed on to called the ring silver in color. That meant my detector could display a wider range of ID numbers on my detector, but that would not keep me from finding it. After three signals from aluminum bottle cap pieces a solid 58 rang up on the detector. The ID number was within the white gold range. I had only been searching for about two minutes before I had a wedding band in my scoop. One of the lovely relatives verified the ring was Dave’s. I would not let her take the ring from the scoop, that was to be Dave’s pleasure.

After a few stories, congratulations, Thank Yous, many other coo dos, and photos, I was on my way home to my waiting desert. Not quite a day without detecting, but it is my hobby and I just love seeing a traumatic time turn into a terrific story to tell along with the others of a great vacation on Cape Cod.

Unique wedding ring lost in yard, Ocala, Florida…Found with a metal detector!

Mike McInroe…Ring Finder Specialist…Lost your ring?…Call ASAP Anytime!…321-363-6029

Friday morning Dion went to the front door to let his dog outside and in the dogs excited state there was some confusion about not exiting the house fast enough. Dion was wanting his dog to hurry along and he swung his left hand underhanded like…sort of in a bowling style motion and he felt his unique, custom made wedding ring come off of his finger. He heard a ping sound, as if his ring had struck something metal and it just plain disappeared. He was sure it landed close by and proceeded to search all through the low bushes along the side walk. He even went as far as removing all the bushes…he told me later that they didn’t like those bushes anyway…so all that was left was the pine bark mulch and dirt! Dion was bound and determined to find his two piece, interlocking, platinum and yellow gold wedding ring which he has worn for the past 11 years.

Friday night was a very difficult night for Dion as he struggled with the thought of never seeing his lost wedding ring again. In desperation he went online and looked up « How to find a lost ring » and up came theringfinders.com and as he read what we are all about he started to find some hope. He sent out a request to one of our members and they were able to do a short search but they were unable to locate Dion’s lost wedding ring. Dion knew his lost ring had to be there in his front yard somewhere so he gave me a call and explained what happened. It was a two hour drive that took me up into the beautiful Ocala National Forest area and I was anxious to see what the front of his house looked like and where his ring was hiding. After meeting Dion and hearing his story there was one key fact that stuck out to me. He said that when he waved his hand at the dog the sound of his ring hitting something was not immediate but delayed. That information told me his ring struck the sidewalk or driveway out a good ways from the front door. Both sides of the sidewalk had been thoroughly searched so I determined it must have landed out in the grass some 30 to 40 feet from where Dion had been standing. It took only a minute or two to set up my Garrett ATMax metal detector and within minutes I got my first promising signal—Platinum! And a couple of swings later—Yellow Gold!

Dion was overjoyed and rushed inside to tell his wife and as I walked along I silently thanked God for allowing me to be a blessing to this young couple and their 8 kids!

Have you lost something recently and need help finding it? Call, text or email me ASAP!

Lost Men’s White Gold Wedding Ring – Nags Head – Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from a Shawn today.  He had lost his white gold wedding ring on the beach in Nag’s Head in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  I asked Shawn the normal questions about if he knew where and was it in the water.

He said that he had been throwing a football and felt it slip off.  Shawn had done his due diligence and had marked of the area that he thought he had lost it.

When I arrived, I headed to the beach and met Shawn.  He had markers set up delineating the borders of the area to search.  I got the Minelab Equinox 800 running and within a minute heard a good signal.  I reached over and dug in the sand and boom.

Shawn told me that his anniversary was later in the week and this made him so happy!
