Lost Ring Gulf Shores, AL – FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

My wife Jeannie and I had another great afternoon today helping someone find their lost ring. As soon as I saw the message from Kristen this morning I could tell by the detail with which she described everything that this ring was really special to her. In actuality it was two rings because like a lot of people do, she had the wedding band and the engagement ring soldered together. This ring really meant a lot because of the family history attached to it. It had different diamonds that had once been worn by her Grandmother, her Mother and even some that had been in her Father’s wedding band. She definitely wanted this ring back. She lost it last Wednesday but finally a friend of hers had seen my website and referred her to Ringfinders. I was more than willing to help but we had a huge problem. The ring was on a stretch of beach that is usually off limits to metal detectorists. I provided some Google help and Kristen and I both started calling different numbers trying to find someone to plead Kristen’s story to in hopes of getting permission. After a lot of hold time and busy signals, Kristen finally got someone on the line who gave us written permission to head out. When we got to the beach, Kristen’s husband had done a great job of dropping a GPS pin where they had been swimming. I quizzed Kristen about how deep she had been wading and did some quick calculations based on the tide charts and I headed out to where I hoped it would be. Sometimes everything works out for the best and even after a few days in the Gulf I very quickly heard the sound of gold in my headphones. I walked over to Kristin who was in the water and I asked her if she wanted to leave her ring on the beach this time or did she just want me to give it back to her now?  As I started to smile she realized what I was saying and got excited. She followed me to the beach and got choked up as the gravity of getting her ring back with so much family history sunk in. I am so glad I could help you Kristen. I wish y’all the very best.

Wedding band recovered in Rumson NJ by Dennis Burlingame

Contact:

Got a message from Wendy and Paul asking for my help in finding Paul’s wedding band. A few day ago we had a bad storm come through our area. When it was over they went outside to start clearing up their yard of leaves and down branches. Afterwards while watching television Paul noticed his wedding band was missing. They went out to try to find it but had no luck, Wendy posted signs around asking anyone who might see it while walking by please let them know. Family and neighbors came out to help look. Still nothing. Someone told her to look up Ring Finders and she found me. I went out the next day and met them. They showed me around their property and I went to work. I checked all the leaf piles in the road thinking it came off in them, Checked the back then side yard, then walked the whole edge of the main yard. Still no luck. Paul came out to offer me a drink so I asked some more questions to go by. He was using a leaf blower most of the time but I asked where he was when he was just using his hand to pick up branches. He pointed to an area and I went there and within maybe 10 minutes I finally had his ring. It was pushed into the dirt some most likely from everyone walking around the yard looking for it. I called Wendy and asked her to come outside and she couldn’t believe I found it. She first said it was going to be like a needle in a haystack. I’m so glad I was able to reunite Paul with his ring. Another Happy ending for everyone.

Laguna Beach Skimboarder Loses Gold Wedding Ring in Surf … Found and Returned by RingFinder

Stan the Metal Detector Man is available to help you now ..Call or Text ASAP .. 949-500-2136

*** Nick was skimboarding in a cove at Laguna Beach, CA. when his gold wedding band came off his finger and disappeared into the surf. Skimboarding is a board sport performed on the steep wet sandy slope in shallow surf as the wave recedes. This would give us a good chance to find the ring at the next low tide.

Nick had questioned me about his chances to find the ring if he took a rented metal detector to search for it himself. He felt it couldn’t be that difficult to use a metal detector. I explained to him that rental metal detectors are usually effective in salt water sand. Also, it is not practical to learn how to operate a metal detector while trying to find something as important as his wedding ring.

I made arrangements with Nick and his wife Ami to meet me at the location. I had a simple pulse induction metal detector that I could let him use while the both of us searched the 12:30am low tide. I even had an extra sand scoop that is important if you are trying to retrieve a target.

After giving Nick and Ami a quick lesson, we took off on our separate grid searches. I could see them struggle when they had to dig the few targets they did find. Nick did learn that the metal detector was not so easy learn. After about 40 minutes  my detector got a great signal outside the zone that Nick believed his loss had  happened. 

When I scooped the ring they were 100 feet from me. Walking back to the couple , I asked Nick if he thought the ring could be further out. Then I held the scoop with his ring in it for him to see. He and Ami were amazed and gave me the “Oh My God “ salute. They are a beautiful couple. It was a pleasure to help them out.

Oval Beach, Saugatuck, Michigan gives up a spectacular ring after 2 days under the sand.

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I received a call today from Laura K. asking for help in finding her Diamond/Platinum band at Oval Beach. She was vacationing with her mom and sister and Monday afternoon did a little sunbathing. While packing up that afternoon, Laura folded the chair which she placed her ring in the cup holder and forgot about it and walked off to her car. I gave her 3 options as to what would happen to her ring seeing that it has been 2 days since it was left behind. Option 1: someone laid in the area to sunbath and found it in the sand, Option 2: Detectors come out to the beach almost everyday and comb the beach for coins, rings and other treasurers and Option 3: is that I will find it with my medal detector.

When Dave Boyer, my detecting partner, and myself got to the beach it was packed. Laura said they were sitting next to the boardwalk leading down to the water. We had to walk around bathers trying not to interfere with their day at the beach. It was a hopeless search so I gave Laura a call to try to pinpoint the spot a little closer. She told me an area near the boardwalk where a family of about 10 people were sitting. I came up to them and politely ask them if we could check the area where they were sitting because they may be sitting on a beautiful diamond/platinum ring. They all got excited and laughed but graciously moved over about 10 feet. After they moved I started checking the area and 5 feet into the search I found the ring about 6 inches down in the sand. I yelled « I found it » everyone started clapping and bathers from all over look and started clapping. « you guys are great » « Nice job guys » and on and on. The cherry on the top is when Joe, a guy we found his wedding ring for last year, 1 day before his anniversary out in the water, yelled out « they found my wedding ring here last year ».

I immediately called Laura who was eating with her mom and sister to give her the good news. Here are some pictures of Oval beach, the ring and Laura with a big smile.

Lost wedding band in Rouge River, Rockford Michigan

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Got a call from Ashley S. last week that her husband, Nick S. was tubing in the river and came across a big tree branch that he tried to push away while floating down the rapids. His ring got caught on the branch and popped off. Although the water was crystal clear and shallow the current was too fast and he could not find it. My detector friend Dave Boyer and I went into the river and headed to the second bridge are per Nicks instructions. After searching the rocky bottom for a couple of hours with no ring we met up with Ashley and Nick. Nick got into the water with us and started orienting himself and discovered we were in the wrong area. We started looking in the area where the branch was but still didn’t find his ring. Wedding rings have special meanings to people and Nicks ring was no different but because it was a Titanium ring he felt he could get another one with not a lot of expense. As detectors we come across a lot of Titanium, Tungsten and Stainless Steel rings so I suggested that he pick one of mine out that would fit him. He found one that was like his old ring and it fit. We now have a happy husband and a happier wife. Congratulations to the both of you.

Surfer Loses Sentimental Silver Necklace at San Clemente Pier, Orange County, CA… Found and Returned Next Day

If you lost your necklace in the sand call  “Stan the Metal Detector Man” available now … 949-500-2136

* Nick was surfing at San Clemente Pier in South Orange County, CA.   He put his silver necklace into the pocket of his tee shirt setting it with his other belongings near his towel. After surfing he picked up his clothes to walk over to the showers about 50 yards away. 

When he returned to his vehicle he realized that his necklace was missing. His attempt to find it as unsuccessful. He couldn’t return the next day to search as he was working more than 100 miles from San Clemente, CA.

I got a call from Nick just before 11am the next morning. When he gave me a good description of the area of his loss, I was a little concerned because this is the busiest part of the beach. I may have too many beach goers spread out over the search area. Also Sunday night and Monday morning this part of the beach gets hunted by recreational detectorists.

I made the drive to the San Clemente Pier arriving at noon. After an hour of grid searching with my Minelab Equinox metal detector I was able to get broken signal but I sensed it wasn’t trash. One scoop with my sifter produced Nick’s silver chain. He was able to meet me the next day to retrieve his special necklace.

There were several reasons I could have put off searching for this necklace. I’ve learned to not put off starting a search. Try to stay positive even if things are looking very discouraging. Nick was very happy and amazed that we put this thing together using the inter and a single phone call.

Scussett Beach, Borne, Cape Cod, Massachusetts – Bracelet Lost, Found & Returned

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

The last day of vacation was not to be the last day on Sunny Cape Cod for Dargel. While tossing a football, running sprints, back flopping into the bay’s cool water somewhere along the stretch of beach Dargel’s very sentimental bracelet came loose, fell, and buried itself in the sand. Hours of searching until darkness set in was not enough time to find the bracelet. After flight changes and with a wing and a prayer the bracelet would be found the following day.

When I received the call, and after getting information about a lost bracelet, I knew I had to go. With such a large area to search I would need all the help I could get. I called Leighton, another Ring Finder, and we set up a meet time at the beach with Dargel. His world wide travel companion said that they would be in an army green Jeep Wrangler. OK, who would have known there would be two such Jeeps in the parking lot? It took a call before we found each other. Then it was off to the beach.

Unknown if the loss was in the water or on the sand, we started searching in the water then up the beach front to the dunes. Only a few targets were heard as we detected and gridding the best we could among some late day sun bather. It was my turn to leap-frog past Leighton, make my way further down the beach, stop, turn toward the water, and start detecting again. I heard a good signal which turned out to be a Matchbox car, and then a second car. I gave both cars to a young beach goer who took them to rinse them off in the water. My next signal came from a rather deep target, maybe another car, as I did not think the depth would be correct for bracelet to be at. I had to dig it anyway. WOW the rope bracelet now in my scoop had cubes on it with initials made of diamonds. NICE! Even better than nice, it was Dargel’s missing bracelet. A verification by a photo really was not needed as Dargel’s description would only match the bracelet I had in my scoop.

After some great conversation and taking of photos there was a quick good bye before Dargel was off to Boston and back to Cuba on the next day’s flight – with his bracelet. A terrific ending to two beautiful days. Look out in the next day as tropical storm Isaias will be over the Cape Cod Beaches. Dargel sure knows how to time his trip and is thinking about another trip back to Cape Cod, after having a jeweler repair the bracelet’s clasp.

Lost gold wedding ring returned from duxbury beach

  • from Orleans (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Two days ago I received a text from Emily regarding the wedding band her husband had lost in duxbury bay a few days ago, she got my number from a recommendation on a Facebook group from a woman who’s iPhone I found diving at the beginning of July. Yesterday I left work a bit early to head off cape to search for the ring and try and beat the ridiculous rain from the tropical storm that was headed this way, upon arrival the tide was out farther than where the ring was lost  which made things pretty easy. 5-10 minutes later I had a good signal which was the ring. I sent a picture to Emily who was very happy to say the least, I ended up meeting her at kohl’s parking lot in pembroke to drop the ring off and then headed home

Call Surf City Ring Finder 714-944-0555

Nick was horsing around at Huntington State Beach when his ring came off and disappeared into the sand. Luckily someone near by told him about The Ring Finders.

The ring was his late brothers so it was very sentimental. When I arrived there were a few people sifting through the sand hoping it would turn up.

It only took a few minutes of searching to find this very special ring.

Jane got hold of me after the loss of her ring. She had been out body boarding in the warm Summer water when riding a wave in, it smashed her to the sand with enough force to dislodge the ring from her finger. Although she had goggles on, and searched for it, the ring vanished. This really upset her because this was her late mother’s ring, and to lose it was to lose a very sentimental piece of her history. The loss had occurred the day before, and I knew that this beach is combed by detectorists daily, so I told her I would do the search with a hope it was missed.

I planned my search for the early early morning to catch the extreme low tide. I also asked Jane if she could meet me at the spot to show me where the loss occurred. She did come and narrow down the area for me, and I let her know she did not have to stay, so she could feel safe to not have to be out in the early morning darkness. There were not many targets, and after about 2 1/2 hours of searching I did find the ring. There it was in the bottom of my scoop, I was amazed it was still there, but very pleased to know that the other detectorists had missed it. When I got home it was still dark in the morning, but I sent Jane a text letting her know the ring had been found expecting an answer a few hours later, but to my surprise she answered right away with total disbelief. We arranged to meet so I could give this precious ring back to her. When we met she was so happy to have her ring back, and we had a wonderful conversation for a while where I found that I had met a most interesting individual. What a blessed day that was!

 

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible!
