Lost 48 year old wedding ring – Found!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

Charles and Marty were visiting all the way from Seattle. When you have worn your wedding ring for 48 years and it goes missing on the beach, you can’t just let it go. Luckily Charles’ and his wife Marty tracked me down and asked me to give them a hand. They weren’t sure exactly where it had come off but they had good directions to where they had been sitting with their family the day before so that was a pretty good starting place. Marty and Charles weren’t able to be there for the search but I could hear how important this ring was to them in Marty’s voice when we spoke on the phone. I was thrilled when I called back later and asked where I could meet them to drop off Charles’ ring. They were almost in disbelief and the entire family cheered in the background. I met them later and got some fantastic hugs as we put the ring back where it belongs. Congratulations Charles and Marty!

Lost ring on the Beach at Night – FOUND!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

My wife and I were out of town this weekend but luckily Hannah was right down the road when she gave me a call. Hannah and her husband were walking on the beach the night before when her husband fell and felt his wedding band go flying. I searched the entire area they thought it might be but it was nowhere to be found. My wife pointed to another area and said, “what about over there?”  I said it couldn’t hurt to try and only went a few feet when the gold band came up gleaming in the sand. I don’t know who was prouder, my wife or Hannah. Her husband is going to be thrilled when he gets home from work. 😃

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

Lindsey lost her wedding ring set in her backyard.  After renting a detector to no avail, and searching at night with a flashlight with no luck, her neighbor contacted The Ringfinders.com and soon after I was at her home to meet her beautiful family.  We talked through the scenario and I showed her what the ring would sound like when I swung over it.  5 minutes later, another happy ending.  I love my job. 😊

I FOUND Joel’s LOST GOLD Wedding Ring with my metal detector.

  • from Kerrville (Texas, United States)

Joel called and said he believed he lost his family heirloom gold wedding ring while removing leaves from his yard. He said he got my phone number from theringfinders.com. I told him not to disturb the leaves that he bagged and do not rake any more leaves. I drove the 90 miles from Kerrville to Joel’s house in New Braunfels, Texas. Within 10 minutes I had recovered Joel’s ring slightly buried in the earth below a pile of leaves. Joel was ecstatic to have his ring back. Joel said he thought about renting or buying a metal detector but realized he wouldn’t know how to properly use it. Smart man Joel! Leave it to the experts, contact theringfinders.com when you lose you precious items.

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Waimanalo Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Josh who was on vacation from Cleveland, Ohio with his Wife Novi & Son Johnathan that said, « Hello.  We lost a ring. »  I asked where and he said « Bagley Beach » which turned out to be Waimanalo Beach which is a bit further South.  Turns out his wife Novi’s ring fell out of a beach bag when her son came ashore after being stung by a Portugese Man-O-War.  Josh shook the sand out of the beach bag not knowing Novi’s Platinum & Diamonds ring was inside.  I was just finishing up work and told them I would run home grab my gear and head over.  It was about 30 minutes from my home.  When I arrived Josh met me and directed me to a parking stall that just opened up.  We headed down to the beach and it’s known for all the metal trash from all the parties that go on there.  Although the area was considerably small I must have dug a dozen targets.  Thankfully too I went out of the grid as the ring sang a nice 15-16 on the Manticore a few feet out of the grid.  Novi was obviously relieved when I pull her ring out of the scoop and said Got it!   A few pleasantries and I was on my way.  Aloha to Novi, Josh & Johnathan!

Lost White Gold with Solitaire Diamond Wedding Ring at Hale Koa Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began on Thursday, 10 October when I got a text from Andrea who was on vacation from Clive, Iowa and staying with her husband at the Hale Koa.  They were flying out the next day, right at the low tide, when I intended to hunt as they had been in the water and weren’t actually sure when the ring came off.  It was going to be a mail back ring scenario.  When I arrived at low tide I searched the dry sand area where they had been relaxing on beach chairs.  No luck.  Andrea mentioned they had only gone out to about waist deep water and had been thrown around by the waves and rolled around a bit.  I started on the upper slope going down into the water out to at least chest deep to be sure I covered the area well.  I just hunted this area the weekend before so it was sterile.  Then on the 4th leg of the grid going up the wet sand slope I got a nice loud tone and in one scoop there was Andrea’s gorgeous ring in the scoop.  A rather large 1.5 carat diamond was my guess.  I immediately texted her the great news but the flight had already departed.  I got a text at 1:10 AM asking, Any luck? then, « No way!  Woah!  Amazing! Ya! When it’s morning give me a call. »  I mailed the ring back and you can see in the pic above Andrea and her husband have smiles of joy back in Iowa!  Much Aloha to Andrea & her husband!

Lost – Ladies Heirloom Platinum Wedding Ring, Orlando, Fl – FOUND!!

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)

I contacted Susan about a call about a lost platinum ring.  She said she had lost it a week ago Monday, when staying at a friend’s home in Orlando, during the hurricane.  Since we both live in New Smyrna we decided to ride over together.  On the trip she told me that it was the only item that she has from her grandmother, which made it very dear.

When we arrived, I noticed a boxwood shrub circling the drive.  This is where Susan said the ring was lost as she unloaded her car.  The shrub was about 18 inches high with red rock in front and behind with other rows of higher shrubs behind that.

I spent the next two hours going over the hedge with my Manticore with the small head.  I also covered in front and behind the hedge in the red rocks.  There were lots of targets, but they were deep and not likely the ring.  After a few hours I told Susan that I had covered everything I could think of, and we went home.  Susan was devastated and said at least the ring had a gorgeous place to rest.

The next day I had an appointment to find another ring only 2.5 miles from Susan’s ring.  I found it fast and texted the friend of Susan, to see if I could try again.  I prayed on my way.  I thought of an unconventional way to detect the short shrubs…It worked!  I got a low but solid signal.  Digging past the green, deep into the dead sticks and leaves with my pinpointer, it sounded off.  Nestled in the leaves and sticks was the ring with its brilliant platinum shine!

I text Susan a picture of the ring and she called me.  She was beyond excited.  When I took the ring to my home, I found the engraving L. N. to A. R. S.  9/15/20…the ring was over 100 years old!  Susan came to get the ring the next day…many tears of joy!

I’d like to thank my good friend and Christian brother for trusting me with this call while he was out of town.

Lost – Men’s Black Tungsten Wedding Band, Orlando, Fl – FOUND!!!

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)

Hurricane Milton ravaged Central Florida, coming in on the west coast and continuing across the state with torrential rain and destructive winds.  Don was out in his back yard cleaning up debris.  As he shook his hand after picking up leaves and muck, he felt his ring fly.

He looked and looked but knew with all the downed limbs and leaves…he needed help to find his wedding ring.  He found theringfinders.com com and gave them a call.  When I first contacted Don, I was out of town but arranged to meet him on Monday.

When I arrived at the Orlando home, Don led me to the back of his property, behind the pool and in a very dense part the yard with all types of tropical plants.  He explained how he lost the ring and had looked extensively.

I grabbed my Minelab Maticore with the small coil and headed for the back.  As I approached the area, I started getting hits from targets.  Sometimes back yards can be tough.  But as I got to the area, he lost the ring.  There was only one large, clear hit.   I dug through the sticks and leaves, and the ring popped out near the sand on the bottom of the pile.

It turned out to be a very short hunt and Don was elated to have his wedding ring back.  Another theringfinder.com happy customer.
