Heirloom Lost, Found and Returned on Chapoquoit Beach, MA

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 31, 2018 Emily took a late evening dip in Buzzard’s Bay not knowing King Neptune would be ripping her heirloom engagement ring from her finger. The next day Cindy (her mother), Kevin (her fiance’) and a friend, Isabel had helped in looking for the ring to no avail. At 5:05 I pulled into the parking lot. After introductions and the story of the loss I made it into the water at 5:20. On the third pass in the delineated area and my first target, the ring was found. Many onlookers were amazed at how easily I had made the find. It was not me, it was Emily as she knew exactly were she lost the ring. It was within 8 feet of where she had shown me how she had lost the ring. Kevin showed up about 10 minutes late to see the recovery. But he was in time to enjoy the thrill of Emily having the family heirloom back on her hand, soon to be taken in marriage. Well wishes to a terrific couple.

What are Friends for…yielding a helping hand.

July 31, 2018 Chris lost his wedding band while playing catch in waist deep water. The next morning I searched for 3 hours in an area marked on a birds eye photo of Skatet Beach. The search reviled nothing, except for a few coins and sinkers. At home I planed my next effort to locate the missing ring.
Unbeknown to me, another detecting friend, Luke, per chance without knowing of the lost ring found it. He texted our mutual friend Jim. Jim told Luke that I was looking for the ring he had just found. After confirmation that Luke had found the lost ring, he gave me the ring to return to Chris. It was mailed on Saturday and should be delivered on Monday.
Luke has now made application to become one of the elite TheRingFinders. Welcome, Luke!

While out on the beach doing the night search for the lost wedding band I got a desperate call from Josh. He had thrown his car key and remote off of his apartment balcony into the ivy and bushes, and was unable to find them. I let him know that I would come over as soon as I finished my search for the ring.

I finished my ring search about 10:00 PM, and arrived at Josh’s house about 10:30 PM. He explained what he did and showed me the area. There was not only ivy, but bougainvillea as well, two forms of shrubbery that can hide things well. I put on my headlight, and grabbed my detector and pin pointer and began my search. I found a number of metal items such as cans and bottle caps. I continued my search a little out of the initial area, and found the car key. Josh was surprised and very happy. I continued the search for the remote doing battle with the bougainvillea, but I was losing the battle with blood dripping from my arms from the wicked thorns that were hard to see at night, so I told Josh that I would come the next day when the sun was up to do a more thorough search for the remote. I got there today and asked Josh to recreate the actions he took the previous night. It looked as though the remote was going to be in one of the bushes. I was able to get my detector coil under the bushes, and under one of the bougainvillea got a real good signal. I put the pin pointer under the bush being careful of the thorns, and deep in the bush was the remote. Josh was overjoyed to get his key and remote back, and I was happy to have made his day.

Platinum Wedding Band Lost at Hermosa Beach…Found and Happily Returned.

I received a call from Christina whose husband Bill lost his ring the day before while enjoying the beach with his family. They are vacationing from Sacramento, CA, and to lose his wedding ring of 21 years was not what he expected on the trip. Knowing the County and how they keep this beach clean, we arranged to meet about 30 minutes later.

When I got there Christina and Bill met me and walked me out to the area they believed the loss occurred. I looked around and realized that the beach sifters had not come through the area, so I felt good about the ring still being there. I started my search immediately because although it was morning, people were already filling the beach. I searched the area as fully as possible considering the beach was filling up, but was unable to find the ring. I then let them both know that it was going to futile to continue the search with so many people coming, so I let them know that I would be back to search the whole area again at 8:00 PM when people had gone home. When I returned there were very few people left, and I began again starting from the lowest point on the beach working my up the slope. My first signal was a silver color wedding band, and I thought I had it, so I sent Christine a picture asking if was Bill’s. Bill then met me out on the beach to check the ring. It was not his, it was about 3 sizes too large and made of a different metal than his. He and his son went to get dinner, and I continued my search. About an 1 1/2 hour later I got another good signal, and in my scoop was another silver color ring. I got my flashlight and gave it a closer inspection. This time I could read PLAT on the inside, and it was a much smaller diameter than the previous find.

I called Bill to him know, and he and his son made their was over to where I was waiting. When I showed him the ring he was a bit hesitant regarding claiming it his, until he placed it on his finger and it fit perfectly. He told me he thought the ring was lost forever, and really was appreciative of my effort. I then said The Ring Finders don’t give up! It is so great to know that his joy will be going all the way back to Sacramento.

Red river beach in Harwich ma gives up another ring that was thought to be gone for good

  • from Orleans (Massachusetts, United States)

‘Lost on Tuesday July 31 recovered Friday August 3

mike was down on the cape for vacation, he and his family rented a house on red river beach in Harwich so they could enjoy the beach without having to travel the jam packed streets and worry about finding a parking spot. It seemed as if the vacation was going as planned until mike was in the water with his daughter on his shoulders and a large wave slammed into him knocking his tungsten wedding ring off his finger in to the warm yet rougher than normal water.

mike managed to get ahold of Eleanor hube of J&E metal detectors of Yarmouth who rented mike a Tesoro sand shark detector which I think he really enjoyed using but he was unsuccessful in finding the band. When he went back to return the rented machine Eleanor gave him my name and gave me his cell number with a map of the location of the ring, I gave him a call and agreed to look for the ring that night, well the conditions in the water were terrible to say the least and the waves were breaking above my head. I did manage to get a good strong signal last night that I was sure was the ring but actually bringing it to the surface proved too difficult so I called it a night called mike and said I’d be back tomorrow. Well after work I got back to red river around 5:30today and 10 minutes of getting thrashed in the surf resulted in the large ring in the scoop. I exited the water and called mike to give him the news needless to say he was very happy and he contacted his uncle who was still on the cape to pick the ring up

Beautiful Wedding Ring Set Lost in Surf at Dana Point, CA. .. Found Four Days Later.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roxanne had been at a house party on Sunday. It was at a home on the beach front at Strand Beach, Dana Point, CA. The home had a swimming pool but some of the guests wanted to spend a little time playing in the ocean surf. Mostly just wade in the knee deep water.

Roxanne was standing with her back to the incoming waves when she got surprised by a larger wave that knocked her down. Right away she noticed her white gold  and diamond wedding ring set had fallen in the water. The three rings had recently been soldered together which may have made it easier to find. The water saturated soft sand swallowed the ring. She was devastated and several people tried to retrieve the ring with no success.

Tuesday morning, three days after losing the ring Roxanne called me. She was about an hour from Strand Beach and unable to meet me at the location. So she began to give me directions while talking on the phone. We both had pulled up google maps on our computers,  where she pointed out the two houses that she was directly in front of when the loss occurred. There was a low tide that afternoon that would allow me to check the conditions. I made the 12 mile drive to give it a quick search. No Find.

Early Wednesday morning there would be a minus tide which would be the best chance. I drove back at 2:00 am. After an hour of tight grid searching, I had only found three pieces of metal trash. Then, Boom! I got a very nice strong signal. I dug a scoop full of wet sand reaching into it I could feel the big ring. It was dark but I could feel the stones and the three separate soldered bands. 

I didn’t call Roxanne till about 9am. I wanted to personally tell her that her ring was found. When she answered the phone I was at a loss for words. I finally told her that I had her ring. She burst into tears and I could hear yell across the room to her husband, Dominic. “He found my ring”. I told her to give me a call after she calmed down. We could make arrangements to get it in her hands. 

Both Roxanne and Dominic met me that afternoon. It was a great reunion with smiles all around. She must have had a miserable four days. It’s a happy ending for sure.

10k wedding band found skaket beach Orleans ma

  • from Orleans (Massachusetts, United States)

Tuesday July 31 2018

shortly after finding the irreplaceable college championship ring @ red river beach in Harwich I was heading home and decided to stop by a beach I rarely detect that’s 5 minuets down the road from my house. I found a few dollars in change and a number of pull tabs, that was in the dry sand. I moved out on to the flats with little hope of finding much of anything after walking about 130-150 yards out I turned to my right walked about 20 yards and got a solid 12.13 on my ctx3030 and figured I had a nickel about an inch down well the nickel turned out to be a 10k white gold wedding band that was lost the day before I believe. I contacted Rick browne (another local ring finder) to see if he had known anything about it and he did fortunately, the wife of the owner had contacted Rick to search for it earlier that day and I believe the location was off just a bit. Rick emailed the wife to say that it had been found by someone he knew and that it would be given to him to mail back to new York . Well last night I swung by ricks house handed the ring to him and had a few laughs about his recovery from that day at the expense of ricks detecting partner Jim who apparently got a bit of a beating from a wave or two (sorry Jim). Rick is mailing the ring back to the couple this morning so hopefully the mailman gets there soon and they can be reunited with the ring that was l0st 

College championship ring recovered from red river beach Harwich Massachusetts

  • from Orleans (Massachusetts, United States)

Tuesday July 31 2018

i took a minute while at work to look for a text from a customer about ordering a product for their vehicle, by mistake I opened the browser on my phone and it popped up with lost and found craigslist for cape cod with a posting that was only a few minutes old and it had a phone number so I decided to call. The man who answered said he lost his college ring while wading in about waist deep water when he turned his back to a larger wave that knocked him over. I agreed to meet his friend down at the beach that afternoon to show me the approximate location. I arrived around 5:45 pm got the location and fifteen minutes later had the heavy chunk of 10k gold in my scoop, i exited the water and made the call to Doug who was waiting for a flight back to Minnesota and told him the “bad” news “it doesn’t fit my finger so I guess I’ll give it back” I don’t think he believed me that I actually had found it, the irreplaceable college championship ring but the pictures were proof the ring was safe and is now on its way back home to the rightful owner

Engagement Ring recovered in Point Pleasant found by Dennis Burlingame

This recovery has been a long time waiting. Five weeks ago Martha and Johnny were enjoying the beach when Martha lost her ring on the slope by the waters edge. I was even on the same beach that day and they saw me detecting. She called me later that night and told me what happened, not wanting to take the chance of the ring getting washed out I went back to the beach that night to search for it. No luck that night and I went back down the following day after work. The water was rough and extra high that day and I didn’t have high hopes in finding  it that day. I searched for awhile and was getting ready to leave and the last target I found on my way off the beach was her ring. I texted her the good news but with her living out of state she didn’t know when she would be able to come back to get her ring. I told her not to worry it wasn’t going anywhere. Well today was the day she had the opportunity to come and get it. I met them at the beach where she lost it and it was a wonderful reuniting of her with  her ring.
