Lost Engagement Ring in Iowa – Found

  • from Waverly (Iowa, United States)
Contact:

I received a text over the weekend saying they needed my services to find a silver engagement ring in the back yard. I was not available at that time so I met up with Blake late Monday afternoon. He said him and his fiancé were chipping sticks when a stick caught the ring and pulled it off. The grass was pretty long in the back yard because he did not want to mow until he found the ring. I started the grid search and after about an hour he came and we discussed it more. The yard was not very big so I went one way and then changed directions and could not believe I could not find it. He asked if the other half of the ring would be of use. Well, Duh, I should of asked for that in the beginning….Lesson learned number one. He went and got the ring and we put it on the ground and I did a test pass. It was ringing up as a 41-43 on my AT Max….Lesson learned number 2….I assumed since he told me it was silver it would ring in the 70-90 range. I had the AT Max discrimination set pretty high. I reset the detector and started all over with the grid. Within about 15 minutes Blake came back to check on me and while he was standing there I got a hit in the 40’s. Like so many other times I figured it was nothing and started digging in the grass and there it was. Needless to say everyone left happy.  Sorry about the crappy photo.

Rylan called asking help to find his silver ring that he had lost in the sand at Cresent Bay, Laguna Beach, CA. He had dropped it in the dry sand the night before and was on the beach trying to find it this morning.

Rylan told me what had happened. Then,  I asked him if it was possible for him to stay at the location till I could meet him. I only needed him for a couple minutes to get the general location. He had to be to work at 11:00 am which worked out well because I was only 20 minutes away.

When I got to the beach Rylan was standing at the spot where he thought the loss happened. I sent him on his way to work, telling him I would call him when I found the silver ring. Very important to Rylan as it was a gift from his girlfriend. It didn’t take long to find his ring, but it sometimes can go the other way when people aren’t sure when the ring was lost.

I was able to drop by Rylan’s work place to deliver his ring. It was just a few miles from where I live. You can see the smile on his face in the photo I took when we met before 12:00 pm.

Ring Lost In Surf At Wrightsville Beach Found On Sandbar

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

While surfing the North Carolina coastline with friends, Marcus was hit by a wave that sent him off of his board.  Unfortunately, he also felt his wedding ring slip off of his finger into the surf.

Marcus informed me later that this ring belonged to his late grandfather who Never took it off.  Marcus’s mother made him promise to also never take it off before she gave it to him.

Marcus’s wife contacted me shortly afterwards and we agreed to meet the following morning for more favorable conditions.   Water searches are, of course, not ideal conditions and I’m sure Marcus thought the ring was gone forever.  About 50 minutes into my search and just after speaking to Marcus, my detector rang out a very good tone.  I yelled out to him « I think I’ve got it! »  he came over just as I raised my sand scoop and was flushing out the sand & shells.  I peeked in and saw the gold then let him reach in and retrieve his cherished heirloom.  It was a very emotional moment and this time the ocean did not win!

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

David from Oxford was enjoying a weekend stag do in Bournemouth with his friends. Whilst skinny dipping he managed to feel & see his wedding ring slip from his fingers and disappear into the depths of the sea about waist height.

About three days after losing it he contacted me and I made my way there right away knowing how soft and absorbing the sands are around there.

After searching for an hour and a half in 4 feet of water up it came. I phoned a very relieved David  who promised that once he received the ring he would gladly make a donation to the Margret Green Animal Charity. He also promised a picture of him and the ring looking very happy upon its return to him.

Mens Gold Wedding Band Lost & Found On Studland Beach

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

David & wife Jean visited Studland Bay one beautiful afternoon to enjoy a relaxing walk. Unfortunately all did not end well. Carrying chairs & bags some 200 meters & having a bite to eat David suddenly noticed his late fathers wedding band missing. When David called me a week later to explain it seemed as though the search area would be far to large to deal with. However after some careful questioning I deduced there were a couple of ‘likely’ areas to search.

The first search area was where they ate. People wipe their hands clean-rings fall off. But it was what David did next, he cleaned his sticky hands in the sea. Within 10 minutes of searching the CTX screamed its head off & laying 6cm under was the ring.

David & Jean were so relieved to be reunited with the ring that not only did they make a kind donation to the Margret Green Animal Rescue but they actually put their names down for a dog adoption.

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

David & his wife & three children enjoyed a beautiful day on Swanage Beach. Playing football with the children proved a problem though. Noticing his ring was missing David searched desperately for over two hours, even buying a vegetable sieve to search the sands to no avail.

I received Davids anxious Email very early in the morning & knowing how popular Swanage Beach is at this time of year with treasure hunters I made for the area immediately. After searching for half an hour near his location he sieved up it came with the distinctive inscription.

I met David and his family who were very grateful to have the ring back. They made a generous donation to Margret Green Animal Rescue before returning to their home in Italy.

Lost wedding rings Victoria B.C. Recovered and returned

  • from Victoria (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Jan was at Gonzales beach today with her grandson and husband. She took off her rings to apply sunscreen and forgot them on her towel. When they packed up to head home picking up the towels the three rings ended up in the sand and hidden from sight.

Steve, Jan’s husband told me he never saw his wife cry so much after they searched, with no luck. Several hours they went on the internet and found this web site. The call came as I was just sitting down for dinner with my daughter and wife. I made plans to search at 7:30 p.m. and within 3 minutes all three rings were back where they belong. Jan was shocked that it only took two scoops to recover her three rings.

I love my job.

Lost ring found by Metal Detector at Cardiff beach CA

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)
Contact:

 

 

 

 

TheRingFinders Metal Detector Service helped reunite a lost wedding band at Cardiff beach. OPEN NOW; Call 760 889 2751

 

I received a call from John Hughes a fellow member of Theringfinders asking if I could do a search for a lost Platinum ring in the surf. I was already scheduled to hunt at 3:00am for another lost ring close to this location so that was no problem.

Upon arriving to the scene of the first lost ring for the 3rd time it was evident that the beach has naturally pushed in sand burying it even deeper. I swung the whole area & did not dig 1 target. So on to the next Beach I went…

By 4:45 am during low tide I was at Cardiff beach swinging my Metal Detector in the location given by the owner of the ring via google maps.I had already been bit several times by mosquitoes in merely minutes and also to make this search seem inevitabley painful is that this Ring was lost 3 days prior in 5’-8’ surf! I guess you could say it’s a shot in the dark but after the 15th mosquito bite I heard a signal that made my ears ring..I took 1 scoop in the wet sand while begging the sea gods & king neptune for this to be Johns platinum ring…((Boom)) good Karma had prevailed!

Me,John Hughes and his daughter met the owner of this special ring also named John,later in the day.He was so relieved and very greatful to have this sentimental item back on his finger where it had been for over 20 years of marriage! Irreplaceable a ring can be.

This search did require luck,Knowledge,Good Karma but I must thank the Gods of the sea for their help in this recovery.

Lost Silver Ring in Garden .. Los Angeles, CA. .. Found and Returned

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went on a ring call to a monastery in the hills of Los Angeles, CA. I was there to help Dave find a small silver ring that his mother in India have given him. Dave had been walking down a corridor when put his hands through his hair bringing his hands down to his side, he felt his ring slip from his finger. He heard it hit the cement one time possibly going in the lawn or some landscaping with woodchip ground cover.

It was a small area and should have been an easy search. After an hour searching with my small coil on my metal detector in all the obvious areas with no success, I brought out the trusty hand held detector which we call a pinpointer. I went down to my hands and knees to search through the plants, crevices and potted planters. 

It was getting frustrating because it was such a small area. I was running out places to search. Could the ring have rolled much further than we thought? As last resort I double checked the small plants in the garden. Yes, the third time is a charm. The small silver ring was lying right at the base of a small shrub. It may have been in the leaves of the shrub or I could have missed it the other two times with my detectors.

This was a very sentimental ring for Dave and I was happy to be able help him find it.

Lost Diamond Earring During Kite Flight Found On Emerald Isle

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

While flying a kite on Emerald Isle beach, the string slid past the young lady’s ear and pulled her earring out.   Unable to locate the earring in the dry sand during the windy day, they decided to call me later that evening to help in the search and recovery.  We used the remaining earring to test the detectors.  Once the tone was acquired the search began.  It was a difficult recovery but everyone was happy in the end when the missing earring revealed it’s resting place.
