Comments from client: Susan Blake-Platon Thank you again so much for finding my Husband’s wedding ring yesterday! My husband Eric and I went to Cape May for the day to celebrate my birthday with the beach and an evening dolphin watching cruise. We decided to go in the ocean and Eric’s custom made wedding band fell off, we looked but it was hopeless. Eric and I were heart broken, being we just got married a month ago today. Many people at the beach were giving us suggestions then, a guy named Jamie was so kind to offer to take down our information because he said there is a guy that he always sees searching for lost item, Jamie waited to see Jeff and asked for his help and now we have the ring back! Amazing!! When we got the call we were in complete shock! The ring is found and the kind act of a random guy! So very grateful there are good people in this world

White / Yellow gold men’s wedding band recovered! (Ring #1) 7/20/2015

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

This gentleman lost his wedding band (yellow/white gold) and glasses yesterday after a wave took him out. I took a spin down yesterday to see the general area and decided that it would be best to try for it during this afternoons low tide. After about an hr and a half I managed to snag it for him, another happy client! After picking this ring up I went for a walk along the beach since the tide was at a good spot and was flagged down by a gentleman who said that a couple had lost their wedding band in an area I was about to go into, got that one in about 5 minutes, luckily he had the couples information, I’ll post some pics after its reunited with its owners tonight! 2 birds one stone kinda day

Lost Silver Ring at Haleiwa Beach……FOUND

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

I was at our Summer family picnic on the North Shore of Oahu and brought my detector for a spin in the shallow water. I found two bling rings and a silver bracelet and was heading back to the picnic for some refreshments when I ran into Katherine and her husband sitting in the shallow water. As I approached I commented jokingly that they didn’t need to move out of my way unless they lost some gold. Katherine said, « Actually I lost my two leaf silver ring a little while ago ». She wasn’t sure when or where exactly it came off but I figured I’d see if the Excalibur could sniff it out. A few yards down the wave curl and I got a screaming silver tone and my scoop had to chase that tone about four times as the waves were crashing and throwing it about. I finally snagged the target and in my scoop was the two leaf ring. I yelled over to Katherine describe that ring again…Is this it? She gave me a huge smile and a warm Thank you. Aloha to Katherine.

Spent three weeks in the drink! 9/5/2014

The beach this ring was recovered from has a very steep slope and it is VERY rough during low tide. At high tide it is difficult to the sudden shallow water that causes the waves to come in like bombs. I have worked this beach at least 18 hrs total over the past few weeks trying to find this ring. So today I decided to take the family there with the hopes of searching during the « Mid tide » change and it paid off. The owner has been notified and was overjoyed as this particular 14k diamond ring was a gift from his mother for his 60th birthday. Persistance paid off in this particular situation!

Clients review of service:  A message from my Uncle Danny, » Jeff exceeded my expectations. i def thought the ring was lost forever.Thanks to Janet Westcott for being adamant to my wife to contact Cmp life guards and Jeff’s never quit attitude my prized possession was found.Thanks again Jeff for your persistence!!! »

16 Hours Searching For Lost Gold Ring in Millwood’s Pond Edmonton Alberta.

I received a call last fall regarding a ring which had fallen into the Millwood’s pond. I was shown the approximate area and was told it would probably be about ten feet from the railing.

As I descended down into the lake I noticed it was full of garbage, pop cans, bottles and bricks, etc.etc. The water was a foot deep, and very mucky. I searched the immediate area and picked up lots of pop cans and pull tabs. AT pro was constantly beeping, however I had no luck finding the ring. I decided to leave and continue my search the following day. I returned and continued the search for another 3 hrs expanding my search to about a 30’x 30’ area. Again no luck.

I asked to be shown the area once more. I was told that they had been bike riding and with the force of the sudden stop the ring had flown off and that he had seen the ring fly. I searched again but did not find it.

This spring I resumed my search, but decided to wait until the water level in the pond dropped. I searched for another 4 hours. Throughout my searches I was constantly picking up garbage. People would stop and thank me for cleaning up their pond, not realizing that I was searching for a ring. After 16 hours of searching I finally found the ring.

Thank you for entrusting me and The Ringfinders to search for your ring.

How to a Find Lost Ring in Cape Cod Waters – Call a Ring Finder

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Family members, water and rings have been not mixing well this month. My third call to search for a ring lost while playing with a family member was the most difficult due to so many targets in a small area. Confounding the problem was that I chose to use my largest coil for a quick recovery. A combination not wanted in an area filled with targets. After the previous two finds I was confident it would not take long…not to be. A little over an hour and on my third pass over the gridded area I found and returned the ring to Sean. Time for smile and ring photos to be taken.

Received a call for a lost wedding band yesterday. The ring was lost in the dry sand but close to the high tide line. Luckily, it was dead low tide when the call came in. I headed over and met Lindsay, the caller, and recovered the ring in less than 10 minutes.

How to a Find Lost Ring on a Cape Cod Beach – Call a Ring Finder

A bad rain day turned bright after torrential downpour. In-between dime size rain drops Chuck and I headed into the water. A pile of rocks that should identify the spot of his lost wedding band was found. I started a grid search. On the start of my second pass, about three feet from the rock marker, BINGO, I heard a nice signal that was from Chuck’s ring. Boy that was easy. I wish all searches went that well. We made it back to the car, just in time for the next downpour. While waiting for the cloud burst to pass – we swapped stories. Then it was time for a couple of pictures and a big Thank You.

How to a Find Lost Ring on Cape Cod – Call a Ring Finder

Fourth of July ended with the sky rockets bright glare and a bang, as I returned Alex’s lost and found wedding band. The band had been lost the day before and no amount of searching had found it. I was called and was quick to start a search. Not wanting to get my socks wet I started the grid on the ocean side, working toward the beach which had some drainage and the tide was coming in. The search went to the second possible area as detailed by Alex who had left for a birthday party. Not finding the ring, I had no other option but to hit the drainage run-off areas. Yep, there it was about an inch deep in the center of the run-off. My feet were wet, the ring came up, the sun went down and everyone left the beach and I headed for the party. I was greeted by a houseful of wonderful family members. Entertaining stories were exchanged and pictures taken as we watched a fireworks display beyond the back yard. A fitting end for a memorable day.

Man’s 14K White Gold Wedding Band lost in the Ocean – Found and Returned in North Myrtle Beach

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On July 10th, 2015 I received a call from Scott stating he had lost his wedding band in the Ocean and wanted to know if I could help. I started asking Scott the obvious questions of what time he lost it, how deep in the surf he was, etc. There was no way I wasn’t going to help him but my dilemma was the fact that two days earlier I had had 3 separate surgeries at one time and the doctor had me on a lifting weight limitation of nothing heavier than a jug of milk and I could not get any of the areas wet and risk infection, so I was restricted to about knee deep water.

Scott and his family were headed back home to Charlotte, NC so they put me in touch with Scott’s parents Bud and Martha who were staying a few extra days on vacation. I met up with them on the beach and they showed me the area Scott lost his ring. Things weren’t looking good for me as far as the depth of water I needed to search. I searched out to about thigh deep water and started getting some bigger swells that were getting to close to my wounds.

After doing about as much as I could, I contacted my son-in-law who has never metal detected before and ask if he could help. He showed up in about 15 minutes and I started running him through the process of using my White’s PI Dual Surf detector, laying targets in the sand for him to interpret and showing him how to search.

About an hour of watching him search the surf and coming up empty I brought him back in and relieved him and started searching the low tide line towards the high tide line. At this point it’s about 10:30 pm, very dark and I’m thinking of calling it for the night and returning at low tide the next morning.

I was talking to Bud and Martha and decided I’d work a little further up towards the high tide line when my son-in-law spoke up and said “I’ll do it”. So I stepped back and let him go, at this point I’m thinking that I had created a monster. And what a monster he turned out to be, about his third pass in the grid I saw his face and watched him dig up a scoop full of sand. I walked over and showed him how to dump the sand out of the scoop, spread it with his foot and narrow his target area. Soon as he did the flashlight picked up a small round object and there was a ring. I verified the inscription that Scott’s wife Diane said would be inside the ring and we had the right one.

I called Scott and gave him the good news and his response was priceless, so was Diane’s which I heard through the phone.

Scott – Thank you very much for the gracious reward which I gave it all to my son-in-law.

 

Note from Scott:

Sooo Awesome!!! We cannot thank you enough!!! We will be back in August and give you a call. Thank You!!!

Thank you for reading my blog!!

If you’ve lost your ring on the beach or in the ocean contact a member listed in the directory at TheRingFinders.com web site as soon as possible.
