…. Carlo and his wife were at Baby Beach in Dana Point, CA. It’s a calm little bay inside Dana Point Harbor. His wife was in waist deep water when two rings slipped off her finger. Carlo was able to visually find and recover one of the rings.

He knew it was a higher tide so they got a hotel room for the night and purchased a metal detector from a sporting goods store. He figured that he could find the ring at low tide the next morning. While trying to practice with the inexpensive metal detector he realized that he had no idea how to use the detector.

Carlo found me on a internet search asking me if I could meet him the next morning at Baby Beach. When I got to the location there was another detectorist at the other end of the beach. Right where Carlo showed me the general area of the loss, there were two dig holes. He was convinced that the ring had already been found. I suggested that Carlo ask the other guy if he had found a ring and the detectorist said he had not.

I began my grid pattern just as if no other detector had worked the area. After an hour the ring didn’t show up. Carlo was beginning to think the other guy may have found the ring. I try to not let that thinking interfere with my search. Things were not looking good and I was running out of search area. Even though the tide was very low I decided to go into the water. Ten minutes of gridding in knee deep water I got that special sound of gold in my earphones. One shallow dig with my sand scoop and I had the white gold and diamond wedding ring in the scoop.

Carlo is a big serious type guy, he just lit up with a big smile and gave me a big man hug. He had told me this was the “most important”of the two rings. I thought that I was looking for the engagement ring. He believed the wedding ring was the most important. For the next five or ten minutes he just kept taking photos of the ring and looking at it in a very special way. His wife was waiting at the room where he planned on surprising her when he returned.

Hector and his wife were enjoying a nice day at the beach when she stood up after placing her rings on her dress. They went airborne and plunged into the soft sand, they searched the small area for 20 minutes but could not locate them. This was a quick recovery, I had both rings out of the sand in about 2 minutes and they were very happy to get the rings back.

 

 

Lost Rings in Falmouth, Cape Cod, Massachusetts …. Found

Hello!  I am new to The Ring Finders but I have been metal detecting for more than 10 years and have found hundreds of rings, pieces of jewelry, and other such items of sentimental or monetary value.  For some of these I have been able to track down owners and return the items, and I have also done successful searches in response to requests.  I hunt on dry land and in fresh and salt water up to neck deep, but I do not dive.  I search mostly on the Upper to mid-Cape (western to middle Cape Cod) but I can travel to surrounding areas if warranted.  My searches are on a ‘reward basis’;  that is, you pay what it’s worth to you or what you can afford.  I donate half of such proceeds to the West Falmouth Library, an independent public library that operates largely on donations from friends and patrons.  I hope that I will be able to assist you in finding your lost treasure!

Red Jacket Beach, South Yarmouth, Massachusetts: Lost Ring, Found Ring, Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

An early evening call from a very distressed and emotional young lady, Krista, pushed me to the limits to find a lost combination ring of great sentimental value. So much so that I went out at dusk to look for it. I only had about 45 minutes of daylight left but did my best to no avail.

The next day I had plans to detect with another Ring Finder, Gary Bonin from Woonsocket RI. I had to change our plans and go looking for the lost ring. Nothing we would not have done, as long as were were enjoying our hobby, we would have a great day. With sunrise and permission to park at the resort Gary and I headed into the water to search for the ring. Hours past, the tide went out and came back in without either of us finding the ring. My mouth was drying out, I had used my last bottle of water the night before so it was time for me to call it a day. Gary on the other hand wanted to finish covering an area before leaving. OK, another 15 minutes I could survive. I was not paying any attention to holding a grid pattern and just wandered aimlessly when my detector’s audio signal brought me back to reality. I looked down to my coil, where to place my scoop and much to my surprise I saw THE ring! What a ring, it made my knees shaky, my heart rate went up, all was great. Had it not been for Gary wanting to stay just a bit longer, the recovery would not have been made without another search, another day.

Krista, a quite remarkable person, what an interesting life she has lead. Within the first hour of this vacation she with her two sons and husband were playing a bit of football in the cooling water of Nantucket Sound. Her ring had never slipped off in the water either salt, fresh or pool. This day was different for whatever reason it did followed by frantic searching over the next 5 days. Krista had to leave the Cape, the traumatic vacation was now a thing of the past. She had kept up her best spirits as to not spoil the vacation for all involved. But she was not to give up on finding her ring.

Social media came into play. A plead for help lead Krista to TheRingFinders.com and to my name and contact information.

If you have read this far you know she was to have her ring returned. Many options were mulled over such as mail, a 4 hour drive to pick the ring up, seek help on social media… The last provided the perfect solution. Sandy and Larry, close friends of Krista, were leaving Cape Cod the next day and were to make a drive to my house, pick up the ring, and return it to Krista on Saturday.

Covid19 be danged, Krista asked Sandy to give me a “big, well deserved hug”. Somethings just have to be done. This return is one that will certainly be one of my top 5 of the 243 I have now made, almost half while a member of TheRingFinders.

Pandora Ring Lost In Emerald Isle, NC Sand Found Using Metal Detector

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Anna’s family were spending a traditional vacation at Emerald Isle, NC.  Today, Anna allowed a 4 year old family member to wear her ring while they both relaxed in the sand.  An insect startled the young girl and Anna’s ring with flying and burying itself in the soft sand.  I was called by Anna’s mother and agreed to meet them on the beach as soon as possible.  The family was very careful to mark off the area and try not to disturb the location if possible.  It was a matter of seconds until I was able to get the solid reading on my Minelab CTX-3030 metal detector.   The crowded beach erupted with cheers as I handed Anna her ring.    

Engagement Ring Lost On Kure Beach, NC Found With Metal Detector

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Bailey was spending a fun evening on Kure Beach with her family.  Bailey is also planning a September wedding.  She was asked to perform a cartwheel in the sand.  Before the attempt, she gave her engagement ring to her younger sister for safe keeping.   During the excitement and festivities, the ring slipped off of little sister’s hand into the sand.  Both sisters were very upset.  The following morning I get a call from Bailey’s father.  He explained what had happened and plans were made to meet just afternoon.   When I pulled the first target, a red can top, Dad yelled that I had found it!  I think that helped ease the stress levels.  Unfortunately, my 2nd target a silver can top gave Bailey false hopes it was her ring.   The 3rd target was the one we all had hope to recover!   The excitement & tears made the 2 hour drive to their location all worth while!

*** Adam is a lifetime resident of Newport Beach, CA. He was playing football with friends on the beach when his platinum wedding ring slipped off his finger into the dry sand. He knew from past experiences that it was his chance to find it was almost impossible, so he didn’t waste time searching.

Adam got on the internet and found my information on TheRingFinders directory. I met him on the beach soon after he called. We were lucky that he had marked off the spot where the ring came off his finger. Searching a football field area can be challenging. A short grid search turned up Adam’s platinum wedding ring in the scoop. Adam had to meet a friend so he was able to make it to his appointment without a delay. 

Another successful recovery because he called in a timely manner and he had the general area marked out.

United States Naval Academy Ring recovered in Avon NJ by Dennis Burlingame

This one was on me, no email or text. I was detecting 1 am low tide and was in knee to chest deep water when I found a beautiful ring. At first I thought it was a collage ring but after getting home and getting a better look it turn out to be a 1994 United States Naval Academy ring. The name on the inside was pretty worn but with the help of fellow RingFinder Matty St Germain we figured out the first and part of the last name. With the help of google and facebook we figured out who the owner was. First googled The class of 94 of the academy, Found the only Jose. Them went to facebook and found his page, even with a picture of him with the ring on. I sent a message, no reply. Posted on his page, still nothing. Then we turned to the ring itself. Found out the manufacturer who made the rings for the academy for that year and gave them a call to see if they kept any records. Luckily Jose wanted to resize the ring in 2019 and they had a phone number listed for him. I called him up and he couldn’t believe what I was telling him, that I had his ring and wanted to return it. Turns out he was visiting his in laws in Avon and was spending the day on the beach. He went for a swim and with having the ring resized ( a little bigger than he wanted) the ring slipped off his finger. After wearing that ring for 25 years he thought he would never see it again. It took 2 days of google searches but he now has his beloved ring back where it belongs. I knew if was the right thing to do, He worked hard for that ring and our country. A GREAT happy ending and good feeling.

Lost Men’s Gold Wedding Ring – Corolla Beach – Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Chris called me and let me know that he had lost his ring in the surf.  I explained to him that when something is lost in the water the chance of finding it is not the best but I would come and see what I could do.

I arrived and he took me down the spot on the beach where he though he lost his ring.  He indicated that he had been tossing a football and felt it slip off.  He said that he had not gone far left or right from where his cabana and chair were and was not very deep.

I began the search in the shallow water working my way about 10 yards north and south of where he told me he was.  I worked my way deeper and deeper until I thought it could not have gone this far.  So I started over.  I started where the sand was just wet and expanded about 20 yard north BING.

Almost immediately my Minelab Equinox 800 sang it’s song.  I dug a small amount of sand and the ring was sticking out.  Chris and his wife were watching as I held up the ring!!!  He sprung up out of his chair and confirmed his lost ring.

Tomorrow is their 22nd Anniversary.   Happy Anniversary!!!

Gold graduation gift found in football fiend in Downers Grove, Il

  • from Chicago (Illinois, United States)
Contact:
Got a call last night, a Med Student lost a graduation gift from his grandmother.
Gift was give to him 20 years ago and his grandmother passed away a few weeks ago so this search had a lot of meaning.
He lost it while playing football on the campus field in Downers grove, Il.
My long range locator got me within 10 feet of the target and the Minelab Equinox did the rest.
He was one happy camper and the satisfaction of hitting it for him can’t be described.
I love this work!!!
