Two lost gold rings found on Maine beach

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)

I received a call from a man named Matt whose wife had lost two rings including her wedding ring on the beach at Reid State Park in Maine. The couple was on a multi stop camping vacation and were continueing on, planning to email directions to the area where the rings were lost after they arrived at the next site.  Unfortunately cell service was nil at there new location and by using the camp grounds land line I received voice mail directions. A+++ to Matt for his treasure mapping because X pretty much marked the spot. Utilizing his landmarks and height of tide references, about 10 minutes of sweeping and the rings were recovered about 7 inches deep. I caught up to them at their next stop not far from my house to return the rings; talk  about some happy campers. To stay on the camping theme a portion of their generous reward will be donated to Hurricane Island Outward Bound to be used towards scholarships for their world class outdoor programs.

Lost Wedding Ring Found! – Mequon, WI

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)

Andre Bilak, of Mequon, WI, was installing a vapor barrier in a crawl space when his wedding ring went missing. In his own words, “I was hand shoveling pea gravel… and after several hours of moving and replacing pea gravel I noticed I no longer had my wedding ring.”

It didn’t take me long to detect the area in question. I was 99.9% sure the ring was not where Andre thought it was. In questioning Andre further, he mentioned cleaning paint from his hands near a garden shed behind his house. I asked him to take me there. Sure enough, there lay his ring in the grass where it had fallen in front of the shed.

This is a case where forensic questioning paid off. A timeline of activities helps to narrow the search areas and led to investigation of an area Andre had not thought about.

So glad we were successful, Andre!

Highland Park Beach Ring found in water

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

Received an email at 1:54 AM to look for a gold enameled wedding ring. It came off in the water, the sand or by a bench. The only thing certain was that it was gone. The couple were visiting from Germany and would be leaving Chicago in about5 days. She had put on suntan lotion and the ring came off at the beach. They knew the different areas that they had been sitting. They had moved to different locations at the beach. She had gone back and forth into the water. She said that she had not gone into deep water. So I first started in the sand where they had first been situated. Nothing! Since the beach had small rocks in some areas, I thought that had the ring fallen off there it would be visible. The water was calm and I thought that the water was the most likely spot. I searched the water chest high. I had wadders and she said it was not deep. Nothing! I worked my way toward shore where there were lost of small rocks. In about two feet of water, in the rocky section I got a hard hit with my CTX. I could look down and saw nothing. I used my handheld waterproof pinpointer to find the area. still didn’t see anything. Pushed some of the rocks away with the pinpointer and there was the ring!! Its always great to make people happy.

Lost Wedding Ring Found in Surf at San Clemente, CA. .. Returned to Grateful Owners

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bill and his a family were enjoying the day at San Clemente State Beach. Bill handed his wedding ring to his wife, Taylor for safe keeping. Then went for a swim in the ocean.

Taylor was busy playing with their young children on the beach. She had put Bill’s ring on her finger as she had done many times before without any problems. Sometime during the next couple hours the ring that Taylor was guarding on her finger slipped off into the sand.

When I got to the area where they had spent most of the day, we decided that the most likely place for the ring to be was under the umbrella and main play zone. I started the grid search there. I hadn’t finished that location when Taylor said she did take the kids 40 ft. down the slope into the shallow water for a few minutes. Tide was rising, so I changed my plan and went to the waters edge. The incoming waves were just over my ankles when I got a good signal. Put the scoop in the sand and pulled out Bill’s white gold wedding band. 

Success and another ring that was returned to a very nice couple who were very appreciative and happy to have found TheRingFinders website.

A Tale of Hope: Recovering a Lost Wedding Ring at Pierpont Ventura Beach

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

In the midst of the evening, a distressed call pierced the silence, summoning aid for a lost wedding ring amidst the sands of Pierpont Ventura Beach. Hastily, I gathered my gear—headlamp, detector, and scoop—and embarked on a nocturnal rescue mission.

Upon arrival, I met Sarah, the bearer of the sorrowful tale of her lost ring. The scorching heat wave in Ventura County had driven her, along with her four children and two dogs, to seek solace by the tranquil shores. Unbeknownst to her, amidst the day’s chaos, her wedding ring had slipped away, lost in the vast expanse of sand.

Undeterred by the encroaching darkness and enveloping fog, I commenced the search, tracing meticulous grid patterns along the dry sand. Despite my efforts, the elusive ring remained elusive, concealed by the night’s cloak. Determined, I vowed to return at dawn, when daylight would illuminate the path to recovery.

With the rising sun casting its golden rays upon the shoreline, I resumed the quest, retracing my steps and expanding the search radius. Despite Sarah’s belief that the ring lay buried within the dry sand, I ventured into the wet sands, propelled by intuition. And there, amidst the lapping waves, a glimmer of hope emerged—a strong signal echoing through the morning air.

With bated breath, I plunged the scoop into the dampened earth, and lo and behold, Sarah’s cherished ring emerged, glistening in the sunlight. A beacon of joy amidst the vast expanse of sand, its recovery marked a triumph of perseverance and dedication.

As Sarah reunited with her precious symbol of love, she shared the poignant tale of survival and resilience behind the ring’s significance. A survivor of the Las Vegas shooting, the ring bore witness to moments of fear and faith, a testament to the enduring power of love and hope.

Beyond the sands of Pierpont Ventura Beach, an unexpected twist awaited—a serendipitous connection between Sarah and my wife, who had once taught her in second grade. In the tapestry of life, every thread intertwines, weaving tales of resilience, compassion, and connection.

At Ventura County Ring Finders, we understand that every lost ring carries a story—a narrative of love, loss, and redemption. With expertise in professional metal detection, we stand ready to embark on journeys of recovery and reunion.

The Ocean Tried To Claim Another Wedding Ring, Ocean City NJ

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I received an email early yesterday morning, from K asking about my fees to look for a lost wedding ring at the shore. I replied saying that I don’t have a fee. We sent emails back & forth getting all of the details. The only issue was I would be able to make it down till Friday, and today is Tuesday.

K’s husband R was playing in the ocean with their son in waist-deep water at high tide. As R was throwing his son into a wave, his wedding ring of 11 years went flying into the surf. K posted the incident on Facebook. One of her friends recommended me as I had found his lost ring before.

The best time to search for this ring would be at low tide, which is 11pm tonight. After some adjusting of my schedule, I traveled to Ocean City for the search on 9th st.

At 7:45 the beach was still pretty crowded. I called R and told him that I was there. He said he would come up and show me where the loss occurred. I searched for a while finding just a few coins. After a while, R approached me. I was on the wrong beach. They had entered at 9th street and went right. They were swimming at the 10th Street Life Guard stand.

R gave me the details and the general area. I did a grid pattern and came up with just a few coins. I expanded the search area, and on my 1st pass of the extended area, I had R’s ring in my scoop.

The happiness on R’s face was awesome. I got a firm handshake followed by a « bro » hug. He said he thought that this search was not going to find his ring. He had thought that it was gone forever. I said that you should probably call your wife. He said he would wait to see her reaction in person.

As we were leaving the beach K called asking about our progress. R told a white lie and said that we were still looking. When we got back to my truck, R paid for my parking, Thank You!! He asked for several business cards to spread the word. I found out that R is a 1st responder in PA, he is a police officer. I love helping other 1st responders!!

Update: The Philadelphia ABC Affiliate 6ABC did a story on this recovery. There was supposed to be an interview but the news crew got diverted to a helicopter crash: See the news story here

Second platinum ring of the the night returned from mayflower beach in Dennis MA

  • from Orleans (Massachusetts, United States)

This one is very similar to the last post with the exception that Nate is a full time cape resident and he was throwing a football with his son…. Nate was down at mayflower beach with his son on Tuesday evening around 7pm they were throwing a football between the #2&#3 lifeguard stands in waist deep water, Nate went to catch the ball his son threw and the ball hit his hand just right that it knocked the ring right off of his finger. He contacted Eleanor from J&E metal detectors to see if he could rent a detector to try to find the ring but she had already rented her under water machine to Andre from my previous post. I called her yesterday to ask a question and she gave me Nate and andres phone number to see if I could help them out. I managed to get to Andre first which took all of 8 minutes then I beat Nate to mayflower to get the search going but had no luck at first, then Nate arrived and we narrowed the search area down to an area that was about 30x30ft but still no ring I kept thinking about the tide in cape cod bay which comes in approximately 6” 15 minutes which put us out a bit too far so we went in another 10 ft and boom a solid signal 2” down, one scoop later and there was Nate’s gigantic ring that I think most people could wear as a bracelet. We then exited the water and walked to the group of people who Nate left his phone with talked with them for a few minutes and learned about a ring on of them had lost on a Martha’s Vineyard beach 4 years earlier and plans will be made to search for that soon.

‘Anyways Nate’s ring was safe he and his wife were happy and I was too, we took a couple pictures of the ring then parted ways

  • from Orleans (Massachusetts, United States)

andre and his family rented a small cottage on the water in Dennis port in between sea street beach and Glendon beach. While out playing catch with his daughters’  yesterday andres ring was knocked off his finger while catching the ball one of his daughters had thrown, he managed to rent a detector from Eleanor of J&E metal detectors and spent most of today looking through the rough waters of the small beach it came off in. He managed to find a good amount of trash but not his platinum ring, I called Eleanor to ask a question and she gave me andres number as well as a local man named Nate who also lost a platinum ring yesterday (I’ll get to that in the next blog post) I called and left a message with Andre who called me back 15 minutes later and gave me directions to him. Upon my arrival he gave me an approximate location to search, 2 targets and 8minutes later his ring was in my scoop and he was happy.

we talked for a few minutes afterwards and then I was off to find Nate’s ring which was a bit more time consuming but successful
